      Oh lord. Hannity has to mention his J Wright crap. Revise and extend your remarks! Hannity is a Catholic, yes? He's been hanging out with a church that has hidden pedophiles for years and denied basic birth control to poverty-stricken nations with the threat of damnation. How can he justify the pedophelia and remain a Catholic? Just asking. Far worse than anything Wright said. Like people listen in church.

        jones, I understand your point, but what does it have to do with him supporting the ridiculous charge that President Obama is a racist?

          I think jones is saying Hannity's argument tactic by calling Obama a racist due to Wright is like saying Hannity is a pedophile just because his religion has a history of pedophile priests. Hannity is being hypocritical. If that argument doesn't apply to Hannity, it shouldn't apply to Obama.

          Hannity uses Obama's religious experience attending J Wright's church to brand Obama a racist. Jones is saying that if you follow Hannity's logic, then Hannity would be in support of peodphilia because he continues to remain Catholic. Of course, that logic is flawed which is the point.

                    actually from what i have read i learned that hannity was in college and used college radio to launch his career. but the way he made a name for himself was railing against the jews...so i guess that means he's an anti-semite. but really? i don't believe even that. being an anti semite would take research and work- shock jock. just like rush, and beck and and and and they get paid.

          "Actions speaks louder than words"

          Klannity's senseless, boneheaded position and constant attacks and criticism on everything the black president does is a clear indication Sean is filled with hate. It is obvious to any rational man with common sense that Fox News, Republicans and Sean Klannity are offended that a black man occupies the white house. They exhibit the typical racist reaction; reject, say no, attack, discredit, misrepresent, lie delegitimize and criticize.
          This idiot (Sean) recently said silly Sarah Palin, who still writes notes on her hand, is smarter than Obama. Sean said he would trust Sarah with America's foreign policies. Only a nit-wick who believes there is no black person equal to a white person, would say something so ridiculous and stupid.
          It is clear that those who defend stupidity will never accept the truth. This is just another example. Klannity's obsession (hate) with Obama has a lot to do with race. People like you want us to believe it doesn't and because of that you will NEVER have any credibility here. You waste your time trying to convince realistic people Klannity is not a racist.

            So you can't criticize the black president without being hate-filled or racist? Presidents get criticized all the time. That doesn't mean their opposition is racist.

            If you beleieve criticism makes one racist, I don't know what to tell you.

              You can certainly criticize a black man without being a racist.But when you constantly use these kinds of knee-jerk, unfounded smears the Fox crowd does, it becomes hard to believe they AREN'T racist. (Or are you going to defend rush's "Massa" comment as "satire"?)

              Criticizing Obama over policies and issues does not make anyone, on the left or the right, racist. However too often Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, and many others have seasoned their arguments with a excess amount of "be afraid of the black man."

              A prime example in Hannity's case can be found in the many, many times he's mentioned Louis Farrakhan while attacking Obama. Those who listen to no one other than Hannity might have the impression that he's got a cabinet level position in the White House.

              If they want to make honest political arguments against the President, we'll all engage in an honest political debate. But when they make these arguments with race baiting comments thrown in, we'll point it out and justifiably call it racist.

              Let me explain:

              You can criticize anyone, but it should be credible, factual (based in truthfulness); not using stupidity, ignorance (or made up things) to prove a point [or convince others]. These folks have ulterior motives behind their criticism of the president and it has absolutely nothing to do with reality or facts. Their description of Obama is the opposite persona and character witnessed by the American people. What they say about Obama does not match the Obama we see everyday, not even close.
              These haters are fully aware that such attacks and criticism on the black president will lead hate anti-government groups into violence and assassination attempts and that's just historically speaking.

      As a life long Republican (at 78) I now have incontrovertible facts that Hannity and Beck are both disgusting racists. I can tell you, having lived in the deep South before racism became outlawed, nothing about Obama is racist. It is a ploy of these intellectually dishonest people have to use in order to malign Obama. Not a drop of truth to it whatsoever. Beck's own church background has a history of racial problems so that may account for that. For Hannity, it is just not so. Catholics have traditionally stood up for equality for all races.

HOWEVER, point taken, not as bad as Mormons who finally let BLACK people in after founding their religion that they were the evil Nephalim or however you spell that. Mormons have come around in many ways but not on Homosexuality or many issues. Catholics - I know many good ones - have been around a lot longer, but still no friend to women, really.

          Kinda like how the Democratic Party got hijacked by the atheist left and abandoned the religious values of the Civil Rights era.

              Open atheisim would be political suicide. Part of their base though is the atheist left.

                    And again, I don't see any influence. I seem to recall a Democrat having to do an entire TV spot to deny Elizabeth Dole's allegations she was an atheist. I just don't really see how atheists can have a profound influence on a party that reacts to accusations of atheism like one would react to accusations of being a sex offender.

                      Couldn't be that they know it would be political suicide to openly admit it.

                      Thier policies are what are atheistic, in my opinion. MANY of the Democratic Party base are atheists. Just go to the Huffington Post's religion page and you will see that the VAST majority of posts speak negatively of religion, particularly Christianity.

                Actually, of the atheists that I know, about half are republicans/conservatives. I'm pretty sure that both parties are predominantly Christian in their religious make up. There are plenty of people within the democratic party that have not left their religious "morals" behind (whatever that means).

                    Are you out of your mind? The majority of Christian Democrats are NOT just black people. And the Republican club IS racist. At the RNC convention in 2008, there were 36 black delegates which represented 1.5% of the total in attendance.

                            The RNC is a political organization whose only requirement is to register as a member. Delegates to conventions are chosen by local organizations. For some reason, these local RNC organizations don't seem to want to send black delegates.

                            The NBA is an athletic organization comprised of athletes who have shown superior skills at the game of basketball. One's skin color is irrelevant . . . they are chosen based upon their abilities.

                            Bad analogy, dork, really, really bad.

            Seriously, dork, where do you get this crap? Actually, I know. It sounds like you pulled it right out of O'Reilly's backside.

            The majority of the Baptist Bible professors who teach at our local SBC university are Democrats . . . . see, they believe that the democratic policies are more in line with the teachings of Christ. I related this story yesterday, but I was talking to a Baptist preacher friend and some of his friends the other night about Beck's RIDICULOUS rant the other day about people leaving churches which preach social justice. Beck's words were called "verbal vomit," and counter to the teachings of Christ. The consensus was that the GOP did NOT represent Christian values. My contribution to the discussion was that Christianity should be apolitical. Christ told us to keep our religion and our government separate. He was very wise, you know.

            Before you repeat O'Reillyisms, you really should know how incorrect they are . . . it makes you look as uninformed as he.

        Obama's own church background has a history of racial problems, so how can you discount that background regarding Obama, but use Beck being a Mormon to point to Beck as a "disgusting racist?"

        Can you give any examples of Hannity being a disgusting racist?

          First of all, any time anyone on his show brings up an example of white racism, he starts ranting about some apocryphal instance of a black person being racist, as though that nullifies (or justifies)any and all white racism. Second, he's friends with Hal Turner and Mark Fuhrman, both of whom have demonstrated that they are disgusting racists. Reverend Wright is one guy, they're two. Your move, punk.

          The Mormon Church from its inception declared that black skin was "a curse" and black people were prohibited from the Priesthood and temple ceremonies. That only officially changed in 1978. Many older Mormons continue to hold with the church's earlier teachings and ALL fundamentalist Mormons continue to consider black skin a curse and blacks are prohibited membership.

              That's fine, dork, I'm just telling you that the Mormon Church has a long, DOCUMENTED history of institutional RACISM. I have friends who are Mormons, too, who are not racist. In fact, one of them is the head of an organization which provided assistance to disadvantaged children, the majority of whom are black. She's also a card carrying Democrat.

              You really do need to educate yourself before you make the comments you make. Just repeating what you've had fed to you on Fox/hate talk radio does not make you informed . . . in fact, it really makes you full of sh*t.

      Whenever I listen to all the AWM's (Angry White Males) on Fox News and AM Hate Radio nowadays, instead of their actual words, all I can hear is that Lewis Caroll poem:

      'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
      All mimsy were the borogoves,
      And the mome raths outgrabe.

      "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
      Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
      The frumious Bandersnatch!..."


      Like Hannity, Beck, et.al., the poem makes no sense other than you get a sense that the poetic voice is waxing nostalgic about some mythically wonderful (brillig and mimsy) past, but is now frightened, paranoid and angry about a new threat, and wants to warn his readers to beware.

      Obama is the Jabberwock in Fox Newspeak, Emmanuelle is the Jubjub bird and Axelrod is the frumious Bandersnatch!

              The typical white people remark was truth. What Obama was speaking of was PAST institutional racism. My 97 year old grandmother is anything BUT a racist, but she still holds some beliefs which were considered truth in HER time . . . she is the typical white woman of her age. That's what Obama said. Saying that this statement is "racism" is just as silly as people who say that references to slavery in history books is racism.

              For someone who is constantly saying that racism isn't racism unless it feels "hurtful" to YOU, you sure are calling a lot of things racism which have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with you in the least.

                  My grandmother has never been a racist and I doubt that Obama's grandmother was; however, they still hold to some of the institutional racist beliefs which were PREVALENT during their earlier years. With each generation, those beliefs diminish . . . well, to folks other than Rush, Beck, Hannity and their ilk. They hold onto them like their lives are depending on them.

                    Quick story, not racism but sexism.
                    The founder/manager of a radio station I once worked at was one of the 'old guys' who had grown up with the ideas that 'blacks' and 'women' were less capable than white men. One day, he made a passing remark about women that teed off the secretary/administrative assistant, a woman. She didn't realize he had done it unthinkingly, and took it personally, so simply walked out, leaving the no one to answer the phones. A while later, as the phones were ringing, I heard the ringing from the back room and came out to see what had happened, and met the manager, who didn't understand why she had left. I knew he had made the mistake, and that it was just 'a dumb comment', so was able to understand both his and her views on the situation.
                    He didn't hate women, he just let his early childhood override his sense.

Although some of her beliefs were considered truth in HER time, that does not change the fact they were "racist" beliefs or beliefs based upon racism.

              Again, the church doesn't teach that white people created AIDS to kill black people. That was one sentence in a sermon, and it was silly, it wasn't racist, it was crazy talk, but not racist. It doesn't sound militant either, not at all.

              Typical white people, I believe you're talking about Obama's book again, was that during the time he grew up, there were a lot of white people who WERE afraid of black people. Again, not racist. Because, let's look at what racism is.

              Racism is believing that one race is better than another. That's the basic definition. It also can be defined as race + power = racism.

              Again, what has Obama said, written, or done otherwise to show that he harbors ill will towards white people? What has he done to say, I'm better because I'm black than anyone else? He hasn't done that, neither has Rev. Wright.

I can't tell you the names of the majority of the thirteen folks I served with on one for two and a half years. We met every three months for two days. We ate together and hung out together during those two days, but there was no "relationship." That was Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers.

          Oh, and Bill Ayers is now a very well-respected, very statusy-quo professor. Obama was a small child when Ayers was anti-status quo, along with a very large majority of young people his age. Oh, and he never blew up anybody [a little pre-emptive strike, there.] Did I approve of what he was doing? I was in my early teens during that time . . . I was more interested in boys and having fun.
