obama campaign implodes?

apr 29th, 2008

is that giant sucking sound we're hearing... wait, wrong metaphor, let me start again.

is that sound of the obama campaign self-destructing? guy's having a bit of a hard time having the cake and eating it too, i suppose.

the guy has always struck me as a major fake and a hoax. perfect christist, in that sense. now it's delightful to see him try to wriggle out of all the contradictions here. clinton (bill) said famously, "i didn't inhale". now obama is saying, "i didn't hear any of the bad things wright said, i was just overwhelmed by his spirituality." yeah, right.

un-electable, that's what obama is now seeing. no bloody bubba is going to vote for him, and increasingly large numbers of regular white folks aren't going to, either.

bye, bye, obama, maybe? and perhaps hello, mccain?

This Reverend Wright is quite a character. Kinda reminds me of frothing "Dalit activists." He's thoroughly anti-semitic and steeped in racist rhetoric. He probably screwed Obama for good, not for primaries but definitely for general election.

When he defended Louis Farrakhan and "Zionism is Racism" resolution that must have opened the eyes of quite a few of his Jewish supporters. To top it he justified 9-11 and spouted some AIDS conspiracy which must have rattled white voters. You really have to stretch your credulity to believe that Obama never heard this drivel in the span of 20 yrs. and yet so glowingly described the nutcase in his autobiography.

Obama might still get the nomination, because the superdelegates cannot really go against so many "netroots" invested in the Obama campaign.

And if Obama gets the nomination it's Hello McCain for sure.

The British have been doing this to India when the Indians were suffering famines...in 1930s.

We have races created by Max Muellers... Validated by British admins through skull measurement.

These races have been assigned gods..For example, The dravidians racists get Varun...The hindu god of water. Dravidian racists also get Agastya, the transcendental sage. The Brahminical conspirators got Aryama...A sun..so on...

These are modern and humanistic, secular arguments in India.

I think the whole problem started when these stuff was applied to white man...The black liberation theology argues to create Black Jesus....

I wonder what will happen to Dravidians because of this noise:
