Ice, this is what the Republicans do. Every single time. They smear and they smear and they smear. They hope that some of the shit sticks. And to people who don't pay much attention, enough of it sticks so that they start to have "concerns" about the "character" of the Democrat. Every single time.

Ice, you know nothing at all about Obama's pastor. Read up on him and get a full picture. Read Obama's book. Read the speech. Learn something, for fuck's sake, beyond what the right-wing smear machine wants you to know.

Anybody who reads the speech will understand who Obama is and where he comes from. Saying it was written by his advisers -- no, it wasn't. No way. The man has his own vision, he's smart as hell. He's a fucking law professor, editor of the fucking Harvard Law Review. He's smart as hell. Way smarter than you are, or frankly than I am, or anybody else on this board. He is way ahead of where you are on race, and frankly he's way ahead of where I am, too. He's thought about it more, he's experience it more, he has better and more completely formed ideas. He can and does write his own stuff. More than that, no political advisor would EVER write a speech like that for somebody else. It's too real, too true. It avoids bullshit cliches, and it tackles the reality of race in our country. Nobody else has ever done that while running for president. Nobody.

Put ON your thinking cap when thinking about politics, don't take it off. You know how to reason, how to think, how to compare and contrast. Use your brain, the thinking part, not the reptile part that we all have that only responds to slime.

People who rely on the right-wing smear machine will know only what the smear machine wants them to think about Obama. People who read the speech, read his book, talk to people who know him, will know who Obama really is.

The smear machine would smear Obama no matter who he was and no matter what he did. It's what they do. Doesn't matter who the nominee is. The Democratic nominee could be Jesus Christ himself, or Ronald Reagan if you prefer the other guy that Republicans revere most highly, and the smears would start, and Ice would conclude "this is starting to be a disturbing pattern. I'd better vote for the other guy."
