"By the way, how come Hillary gets roasted alive for embellishing an old [non]war story, while Obama's flat-out lie of a couple of weeks ago in response to the toughest question of his campaign -- his lie that he wasn't in church for controversial comments by Wright -- is forgotten, dead and buried under his 5,000 words of thoughtful nuance and nuanced thoughtfulness?"

Maybe the roasting of Hillary and Ferraro will get enough liberals, who have so far benefitted from the media, irked about the shamelessness of the MSM. The MSM are so overboard with their Barry shilling, that it’s bound to wake up a few liberals who apparently have the clout and the money to change something. Its obvious conservatives are not going to change things in the MSM, even with blogging and the internet and talk radio. That could be the best thing to come off this.

Steve,
I like the way you changed from sitting in your underpants to "..sitting here in my bathrobe". Or was it just because VDare is more of a family site?

Great read!

The question here is: why would Watson endorse, so to speak, a man who didn't exactly leap to his defence when he was being tarred and feathered?
Or was the contribution to Obama's campaign a mandatory part of the humiliation henceforth called "watsoning"?
I suppose we'll never know.

This is fascinating.

I'm glad you bring him up. I'm amazed at the cognitive dissonance people show when they speak wide eyed about racial reconciliation and Obama.

While just a few months ago, prominent intellectuals were contemplating the possibility of genetic differences between the races.

Perfect example of the extreme short term memory of the media. I guess that's what blogs like this are for.

The defense of free speech I think is similar to the tragedy of the commons. Certain interest groups have huge interests in suppressing free or offensive speech (Muslims, minorities) while the majority have to keep fighting for our rights to speak. Unfortunately those who defend speech get labeled.

The MSM has told us that Obama is the first person to talk about race like an adult. Obviously, they don't read iSteve.

Like Steve wrote, his speech was just the same old "whites need to help blacks." There are lots of adult conversations about race. They're just all labeled racist. It's the finger pointers who are the children.

I am definitely hoping for Webb as VP, whether with Hillary or Obama. He's been so quiet throughout the campaign that I wonder whether something like that might be in the works.

He would be my first choice for Pres., and a lot of other people's too I bet. Good assasination insurance also of course -- something we have to think about given the passions being aroused around both Hillary and Obama.

Great idea. Cool that you have enough affection for Obama to make such a suggestion. I would never vote for a socialist and can't imagine BarryO changing enough to win me over, but he is a genuinely interesting guy who I'm sure I would have liked in my alienated, cigarette-smoking, leather-jacketed college jackass days.

Steve thinking Obama will be anything other than what he is, a racialist, is naive. The guy thinks he can win with the Press riding cover for him to suppress his hard-Left Marxist views. Surely you did not miss his statement "the proletariat must control the means of production."

Unfortunately for Obama, his Rev. God Damn America won't go away. The decisive forces will be average people with Imovie mashing up Obama and his Rev. God Damn America, Michelle, etc. All on YouTube and other places. Heck if YouTube pulls it "banned on YouTube" is a heck of an email to get people in the office watching.

I doubt Webb would either assent to be the VP candidate or Obama, being an Angry Black Nationalist, would consent to appoint him. More likely fellow Identity Politics maven Bill Richardson. To get Hispanics. Obama probably thinks he can unite Blacks, Hispanics, and rich white Yuppies to "punish" Whites middle and working class whites.

Webb probably knows that Obama as the nominee is toast, and he will face as his nominee a damn tough re-election fight that he'd lose. With Obama, Rev. God Damn America, and Webb all mashed up in viral videos.

Webb's main platform is more military spending and Obama wants to gut the military as much as possible.

Sorry Steve you are wishful thinking not thinking clearly here -- the differences between outliers like Webb and the heart of the Party which is Obama, Moveon, Code Pink, Soros, ANSWER etc. are just too great to be bridged. Everyone thought Bush ruined the Republican Party (he has, of course) but failed to see he also provoked the ruin of the Democratic Party by making those contradictions.

You can't have a Party that is Angry Black Nationalist/Marxist and "Born Fighting" culturally conservative Scots-Irish white populist. It's simply impossible.

Ron:

I think the MSM saying, "politician."

Of course what they don't point out is that any white politician who speaks like an adult on race gets lynched. Look at Ron Paul.

I think McCain's slogan should be "Proud to be American!"

Or even Hillary could do it, she has that theme in her speeches.

I am still undecided as to which is worse, massive health welfare or continued funding of military intervention in the Mideast. I am still trying to figure out how serious Obama is about Affirmative Action.

So basically my choice is:

A. Pouring water into sand.
B. Pouring water into sand.
C. Pouring water into sand.
D. All of the above.

I find it hard to believe that the O-man would go with Webb who is on record in the WSJ(5/22/2000), 'Taking on the status of quotas' as saying this:
"Affirmative action, which originally sought to repair the state-induced damage to blacks from slavery and its aftermath, has within one generation brought about a permeating state-sponsored racism that is as odious as the Jim Crow laws it sought to countermand"
But if the O'man goes for it as a counterbalance for his inauthentic blackness...well then I'm down with that.

"I think McCain's slogan should be "Proud to be American!""

How about:

"Proud to be American
In Iraq
With my Guatamalan maid back home!"

From a Whiter White person:

Hilary Clinton attends the Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington. So does Bill Clinton. Hillary suggests she would not have the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's controversial former minister, as her pastor.

But the senior pastor of her church has a very different take on how Americans should react to Wright.

The Rev. Dean Snyder wrote, "The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is an outstanding church leader whom I have heard speak a number of times. He has served for decades as a profound voice for justice and inclusion in our society. He has been a vocal critic of the racism, sexism, and homophobia which still tarnish the American dream.

"To evaluate his dynamic ministry on the basis of two or three sound bites does a grave injustice to Dr. Wright, the members of his congregation, and the African-American church, which has been the spiritual refuge of a people that has suffered from discrimination, disadvantage, and violence. Dr. Wright, a member of an integrated denomination, has been an agent of racial reconciliation while proclaiming perceptions and truths uncomfortable for some white people to hear.

"Those of us who are white Americans would do well to listen carefully to Dr. Wright rather than to use a few of his quotes to polarize. This is a critical time in America's history as we seek to repent of our racism. No matter which candidates prevail, let us use this time to listen again to one another and not to distort one another's truth."


Problem solved.
