You're the one who used the "riding the back" image. There are many, many other ways in which you could have expressed yourself but you chose that one. It's telling.

Moreover, you REFUSE to read Hillary's resume and list of accomplishments before she married Bill. Marrying Bill and moving to Arkansas actually set back her career. Pretending that Hillary was some dolt who had no chance for opportunity unless she married into it belies her academic and personal career. Frankly, it's insulting and, yes, misogynistic. If you accused a similar woman of this in real time, you'd be called much worse by her. Rightly so.

Well, you can't blame a gal for trying.

I LIVED with this sort of crap because I was a journalist married to a Pulitzer Prize-winner who was older than I. I didn't take his last name so I could keep my career separate and not be accused of being a beneficiary. I enjoyed success in my own right but there were always jerks like a certain someone here who made nasty comments about me not really marrying for love but for self-promotion. It's ridiculous.

Fix me a brandy, if you would!

For the record, for the dwindling few who care about facts, Obama was not at the church that day.

I know, I know, I'm also shocked that Newsmax, the highly respected magazine with impecable journalistic credentials could get something wrong in an effort to smear Obama. But we must accept the truth.

If you named one of the pedophile priests as your "mentor" and "spiritual compass," yep, there would go your chance at election to public office.

So the apt comparison between Wright and any other politicians pastor is whether hypothetical politican's pastor is a pedophile.

Got it.

Can't say that's the comp I would have gone for.

By the way, if you can say the above 5 times fast, you win.

Raping children in your care, raping the souls of people in your care, same egregious misuse of trust. Some Christian thought, however, does deem harming the soul a worse offense than harming the body.

Interesting. Hopefully Clinton wins then, so we can get a law in the books to make it illegal to "rape the souls of people in your care."

Why are any of Rev. Wright's remarks of months ago comin up now? Someone is trying to make a political statement about it?

I do not accept that Rev. Wright is a racist or a bigot.
you certainly have the right to that opinion, but there are plenty of people out there who not only think that he is a racist and a bigot, but also anti-american and a lot more dangerous than the "crazy uncle" that obama paints him to be.
