Perhaps english is your second language.

From your link.

“I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African-American.”

In the above sentence, demonstrated is a verb, not a noun.

He made a mistake, he knows it, and he is backtracking. There should be no argument for what occurred. It is there for everyone to see

He's a self-loathing Southerner who should leave his fellow Southerners out of his self-loathing rants.

Who chooses the degree of protest to be labeled "intensely"? If I raise my voice to 75 decibels? Is that intensely demonstrated?
He was talking about all of 'em! If you were out there with a picket sign, you were it!

You can assume, presume, or wishtomate to your hearts content, but the man spoke in very clear and understandable english. No contradiction, no lie, no Gotcha.

Barak Obama, President of the United States of America, is hated bercause he is a black man.
