In Obama''''s own words:"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance against my mother''''s race...it remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your loyalty to the black masses,to strike out and name names."..from "Dreams from My Father".(Which may as well be,"Lies From My Father",as it appears the "ghostwriter" may be none other than Bill Ayers.) The second quote comes from,"The Audacity of Hope":"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Some people just might find those comments more than a little racially tinged.

No. Actually it is your interpretation of them that is "racially tinged". What makes you Republicans seem so utterly ignorant is your constant fear of Muslims. You cannot seem to decipher a group of radicals from the millions and millions of peace loving, hard working Muslims living throughout the world. There are currently over 7 million muslim Americans. They are doctors,lawyers,teachers,factory workers. They obey the law and pay there taxes. They care for there wives and children and just want acceptance and freedom to worhip in America like everyone else. It is the right-wing faction in this country that has instilled this fear in the ignorant and uneducated. So uneducated that you do not even know that Arabs make up the smallest percentage of the muslim world community. So in that regard I will also "stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
Thanks to people like you the winds have already shifted.
As for Barack being conflicted and confused as a child about his race and where he fits in, You call this racist? I call you callous and a person who is truly afraid diversity. Of course the poor kid was conflicted. You really should not judge a man if you havent walked in his shoes.

A prime example of your political, socaial and racial ideology....

At a now famous McCain rally...

"I don't trust Obama," a woman said. "I have read about him. He's an Arab."

McCain shook his head in disagreement, and said:

"No, ma'am. He's a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with (him) on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about."

You see this is the kind of garbage you invoke with your statements.

A. Why are you afraid of Arabs?

B. Do you think all Arabs are radical Muslims?

C. Do you think the proper response was to say that Obama is a decent person? Are there not millions of decent family men that are Arabs?

You need to take a long look in the mirror before spouting off what you think is "racially tinged"

Just forcing McCain to play defense in another RED state.

It's a great strategy for someone who is already so far ahead.

Hi First Read...I have a question. Do you have to be "Pro-Obama" to get posted here?

I have attempted numerous times to submit my comments -- nothing harsh, just not in support of Obama -- and they NEVER show up! Meanwhile, the Obama crazies post 3 or 4 times for each article.

It's getting a little curious -- just wondering.

She needs to get over herself and realize this is not about her. History will not judge her kind.

What I do know is...even in a heated primary for the Democrats, she makes Hillary look more like a goddess.

That burns me to no end with Palin, we have great women leaders and she comes along and set women back 10 years or more. She is awful!

The Obama campaign is one of the best in history. Whether you like Obama or not their campaign has been almost flawless. From the way that they waited to peak until right before the primary to the way they slowly rolled out their super-delegates, to the way that they have controlled their message and yes, to the way that they have used influencial supporters.

Absolutely magnificent. Years from now they will make classes based on this stuff.

Palin house is located at Lake Lucille.It is a two-story, four bedroom, four bath home and “Todd Palin said that he built the house with friends who were contractors.”But reports claim that the house was actually built by the Spenard Builders Supply that was hired for the $12.5 million Wasilla Sports Complex.To make a long story short Palin made Spenard Builders Supply build her house in order for them to obtain the big Sports Complex contract.

Wow-James Taylor, the hippie, is giving (another) free concert to draw 'Carolina voters-and you are shocked? Good lord.

While you're all feeling good, I'd like to ask you a question-

given that 30% of wage earners don't pay income taxes, but Obama is guaranteeing them a fully refundable tax credit, which is akin to welfare; and, given that the money to PAY that welfare check will come from small businesses,. . .

how will you feel about spending that money, knowing that you cost a minimum wage worker his or her job?

Let's face it, the people who run pizzarias, dry cleaners, etc., will have to recoup their losses the only way they can-by raising prices and firing workers.

If you can take that money in good conscience, your moral compass is broken.

Obama plans to give $3000 incentive to small businesses for hiring a new employee. McCain plans to give tax cuts to large corporations and thinks it will trickle down. We've seen how sucessful that's been... NOT.

And your derogatory comment about James Taylor being a hippee shows how closed minded you are. What is it that makes him a "hippee" in your closed little mind?He is a great artist and the people of NC have a right to be proud of him.

Think and research just a little before you speak.

Obama has been steady on what he believes from the start. He is trying to lure seniors with this no tax on 401k withdrawal...but he isnt telling them he will cut social security benefits and medicare to implement his programs. Obamas pay for themselves. This is one senior that would never vote for John McCain. He is still in Bush Admin. mode...tax breaks for the rich again. Nothing about middle class people. He is still of the belief that the trickle down effect works. It hasnt in eight years...but now it will?????? Explain how Mccain. Also explain why it hasnt in the eight years your buddy Bush has been in and who you voted with 95% of the time.
