        Elaborate, more talking points, blah, blah, but . .

        I'm sure Weiner is seething and blaming President Obama because the United Kingdom classified him as an 'IDIOT UNwelcome American' and won't let him into their Kingdom!!

        Weiner wants to travel to London and Obama is not helping him, WAAAAAAAA . .

          The only problem with Michael Weiner traveling to the UK is that eventually, he'd come back....

      Here again these idiots can say anything they want without proof or evidence to the contrary.
      All they are doing is scaring white people against the black man.

        How about attending a church FOR 20 YEARS that preaches "GOD D@*N AMERICA"?!

        How about that, for starters?

          What in that statement that Wright made wasn't true, from his perspective. And he ain't Obama, for the 1 millionth time.

            I guess only individuals on the right can be guilty by association.

            Whatever Wright's "perspective" the statement was un-American and divisive. Obama attended that church for 20 YEARS and said that Wright is his "spiritual advisor."

            I don't consider it a stretch to think that Obama shares his views.

              The right has been using guilt by associatin against the left since before FDR and will continue because they fear the truth getting out. This is a sign of weakness that they never attack the message but attack the messenger instead. That is weak.

                Are you suggesting that the political left is above such things? Where you in a comma for the Bush years or something?

          a church FOR 20 YEARS that preaches "GOD D@*N AMERICA"?!
          I seriously doubt you know anything about what that church is about or what it "preaches", other than those three, out-of-context words. Then again, what some people preach is ignorance.

            Dude, it's not taken out of context. He was preching a sermon titled "God d@*n America."

            It's doesn't take a degree to figure out what he was saying.

              So, in what context, was he saying "God da@m America"?

              I'd like to see your analysis of this.

                Even his context was un-American, given some of the examples he cited. He blasted America, OUR country, for bombing Japan in WWII!

                You may not agree with me politically, but can you at least UNDERSTAND how some could see that as un-American? I mean, we're talking about the Axis Powers here.

                  Are you insane? The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is one of the most controversial events in all history. You're using that as an example of how he's could be reasonably viewed as "un-American"?

                  The alternative, that everyone just accepts it as the right call because it's our own country, is blind patriotism. What if we tortured German children? Would anyone be allowed to "blast America" for that, since it would have involved the Axis Powers? I'm not seeing where you're allowing for any nuance here.

                    I guess I am crazy for thinking that America was justified for the bombing. And my thinking that it is un-American to suggest that we were the bad guys is insane. Sorry.

                    I'm insane, and Rev. Wright is completely rational for thinking OUR government created AIDS to kill blacks.

                      If you want make a different argument, that's fine. I think the AIDS claim is bizarre. But arguing that the bombing was some cut-and-dry, indisputably justified action is nutty. It's controversial, and a difference of opinion on the matter doesn't make those opposing you un-American.

                        It does when it's coupled with "God D@*N America."

                        Wright can draw a cut-and-dry conclusion, but I can't?

                          I never said you couldn't come to your own conclusion about the bombing. You said the context of "GD America" was un-American, because (in bold) he cited that. As if your position is the near-universal consensus on the matter or something, and anyone who disagrees indicates their lack of patriotism just by doing so.

                          That's what I'm objecting to.

          Sarah Palin's husband is a member of the Alaskan Independence Party {AIP}, which advocates secession from the US. {Caribou Barbie herself gave a welcome address to the AIP convention.}

          Sounds pretty "un-American and anti-American" to me. How's that for starters?

      Oh, Savage of course means un-CONSERVATIVE and anti-CONVSERATIVE, once you translate American in the right-wing mind to equal conservative.

      This will help to explain whey it is always okie-dokie to insult Nancy Pelosi, but not Sarah Palin. Or for Nixon to bow, but not Obama. Or Reagan to use teleprompters , but not Obama ...

      Michael Savage to caller: What scares you most? The EU? Fine. (begin ranting voice) Obama is in favor of the EU, and is trying to give them control over the America you so desperately love and want to save. He is opposed to everything you think is important, and in favor of and supports everything that scares you and everything you hate.


      There. A simple summation of the philosophy of Michael Savage.

      Here we go with the Rev. Wright garbage. He was quoting scripture and preaching a sermon where he correlated the actions of America with actions that god damns in the bible. He didn't say it in the most sensitive way but he was 100% correct. Your perfect America doesn't exist because many of us are the worst type of flawed. Ignorant and indignant. Many people refuse to see anything done by the U.S. as wrong and other countries hate us because many feel we don't have to apologize for things done wrong in our name or respect other people's cultures ie. "apology tour" and "bowgate".

      There is nothing un-american or anti- American about Obama. Holding yourself and your country accountable is about as American as it gets. The only thing un=american is trying to judge how American someone else is while wrapping your hate filled rhetoric in the flag and calling yourself a patriot though it's getting more american by the day.

        Oh, is that what he was doing? Well, he must be right, because nobody ever twists the Bible to fit their own agenda.

        Dude, he is full of crap, the sermon was racially divisive, and it was completely un-American.
