1. The minister chosen by President Obama upon the occasion of his inauguration was the Liberal Reverend Joseph Lowery. He intoned:
"We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around...""When yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen."
The Associated Press noticed liberal Rev. Joseph Lowery's prayer raised eyebrows when he prayed for that day in the hazy future when

a. Who OK'd that racist view? Well....who selected the speaker?
2. Speaking of religious racists, there was Obama's Easter Sunday speaker, the the Rev. Luis León, pastor of the Episcopal church the Obama family attended for the holiday. He 'honored' the President with a sermon in which he said it drives him "crazy when the captains of the
religious right are always calling us back ... for blacks to be back in the back of the bus ... for women to be back in the kitchen ... for immigrants to be back on their side of the border."
Obama Easter Service Pastor, Luis León, Criticized For Remarks Against Religious Right
a. Exactly who are the leaders of the religious right espousing that?
Any?
Or is this another divisive lie from the Left?
b. Did I miss the disavowal of that slander from the President?
No?
Well...why didn't he disavow it?
3. Why the need to divide America?
" To see the secular socialist building his machine, one need only note the appeal to the self-interest of
each of their various interest groups rather than appealing to any unifying vision for the future of the nation. The reason for ‘identity politics’ is that the intellectual mindset of the Leftists is hardly the same as that of the vast majority of Americans." Gingrich, "To Save America," chapter two.

‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’....

4. The "Greatest Lie"?
" Obama is the president of all Americans, not just the ones who agree with him, so shut up"
Obama is the president of all Americans, not just the ones who agree with him, so shut up | The Daily Caller
Dr. Luis Leon, from St John's church, is as white as I am....he is NOT black, he is NOT a racist against whites, he was President Bush's chosen Pastor on many occasions while President Bush was in office...
there was no claim of him being black.
Honestly, his color plays absolutely no role in this discussion.
I see him as an example of a man who spoke on a topic using generalities with no actual fact to work with.
Are there racists in the religious right?
Of course.
There are racists in every walk of life...every ideology......every corner of the earth.
BNut to say the "Captains" of the religious right have those sentiments?
That is the same as painting the entire religious right as racists, sexists and homophobes.
Afterall, the Captains define the subordinates.
And in my eyes? One who can do that without anything to back it up? Is a racist, sexist, homophobe looking to feel rightous...
I don't know why you'd give up the high ground so easily.
It is provable that the Democrats, historically the party of slavery, segregation, and sedition...
....still are:
While talking a great game, it is well known by all except liberals in general, and the Black community specifically, that
the Democrat Party claims to be concerned with support of blacks, their record with respect to blacks tells a different storyÂ…
1. In 2005, the Democrats did not name Donna Brazile to head the Democratic National Committee. They chose Howard Dean.
2. “Gov. David A. Paterson defiantly vowed to run for election next year despite the White House‘s urging that he withdraw from the New York governor’s race.”

3. President Barack Obama has kept mum on the fate of Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) for days -- but he tells CBS News that it's time for the embattled 80-year-old former Ways and Means Chairman to end his career "with dignity."
"I think Charlie Rangel served a very long time and served-- his constituents very well. But these-- allegations are very troubling," Obama told Harry Smith in an interview to be aired on the "Early Show." and first broadcast on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.

4 Harold Ford told not to run for Senator from New York:
“From the start, Mr. Ford’s potential candidacy angered national Democratic Party leaders by disrupting plans for what was planned as a seamless Gillibrand nomination. Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate majority leader, called Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg to discourage him from supporting Mr. Ford, and Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York met personally with Mr. Ford to argue against his candidacy.”

5. “As state comptroller, [Carl] McCall earned the distinction of being the first African American ever elected to a statewide office in New York. Four years later voters overwhelmingly supported McCall over Republican Bruce Blakeman 64.75 to 32.1%. McCall's reelection in 1998 may have given him the confidence he needed in order to pursue the governor's mansion….The McCall campaign had the support of the Democratic Party; whether or not McCall had the party's full support has been the subject of much debate….Still one wonders just how committed the party was to McCall's campaign….shunned by some of the state's most respected Democrats…McCall blamed his money woes on the national Democratic Party, claiming that the party had abandoned his campaign….”

6. And, most telling, Bill ClintonÂ’s remarks about the black candidate for the presidency:
“[A]s Hillary bungled Caroline, Bill’s handling of Ted was even worse. The day after Iowa, he phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that
Clinton had said, A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”

7. Three staffers working for embattled Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) were asked by security officers to leave an event in downtown Washington on Thursday after they tried to display large campaign signs just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was about to speak. .. Waters told The Hill afterward that the staffers had been displaying the signs at the annual legislative conference for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which was held at the Washington convention center a few blocks away. “It ain’t about Nancy. It’s about black people,” Waters said.

8. And what Governor of Arkansas made the Saturday before Easter "Confederate Flag Day"?
The Arkansas Code, Section 1-5-107. Confederate Flag Day.
(a) The Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday of each year is designated as "Confederate Flag Day" in this state.

9. Do Democrats in Congress support blacks by practicing affirmative action in their hiring…and of course this would be our of moral convictions, as they are legally exempt from affirmative action requirements. More than passing interesting, the ‘National Journal,’ a survey of congressional staffers revealed that
Democrats hired black employees at the same rate as Republicans: 2 percent. “The Racial Breakdown of Congressional Staffs,” National Journal, June 21, 2005

10.
Clinton pushed black candidate to drop out of Florida race:
“Bill Clinton sought to persuade Rep. Kendrick Meek to drop out of the race for Senate during a trip to Florida last week — and nearly succeeded…Clinton did not dangle a job in front of Meek, who gave up a safe House seat to run for the Senate, but instead made the case that the move would advance the congressman’s future prospects, said a third Democrat familiar with the conversations. Clinton campaigned with Meek in Florida on Oct. 19 and 20, and thought he had won Meek over. But as the week wore on, Meek lost his enthusiasm for the arrangement, spurred in part, a third Democratic source said, by his wife’s belief that he could still win the race. Clinton spoke with Meek again at week’s end, three Democrats said, and again Meek said he would drop out.”

By some strange coincidence, the Democrats, again, force a black to the back:
11. “Under an arrangement reached two days ago, Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the current majority leader, would get the No. 2 job of minority whip come January. Clyburn, now majority whip, would hold the post of assistant leader, newly created for the purpose of heading off a contest for the whip position.”
