But of course that doesn't matter to people who continuously try to convine themselves that racism no longer exists.
Anyone who believes Obama is a racist and/or subscribes to Wright's imflammatory rhetoric needs to have his/her head examined. This is a man who is ½ white and who still enjoys a close relationship to the white side of his family (especially considering he doesn't really know his father's side of the family because they all live in Africa).
Of course everyone wants to use the 20 yr thing and the fact that he married him and baptised his kids. Well how many of us truly have a 'relationship' with the guy who married us or baptized our children. When I got married and when my children were baptized, I was looking for whomever was available. I was married my a drunk womanizer, I guess that makes me one too! And, for that matter, lets delve into every politicians supposed racists affiliations. I want Hannity to do a story on anyone John McCain knows who has used the N-word. Or anyone he knows who has told a racially insensitive or sexist joke. This shit is insane! The only reason why people want to focus on bullshit like this is because this man is closer to the presidency than anyone expected and the true feelings of race is coming out in this country. Welcome to white America's 'OH SHIT' moment!
Notice the polling that indicate that the whites who support Obama have no issue with his "affiliation" with Wright. Its the one's who are afraid to admit their prejudice, that have made the biggest stink about Rev. Wright.
Attack the man on the issues, if not, be fair and give McCain's 'spiritual advisor' the same scrutiny. Lets face it, both Obama and McCain chose these guys out of political expediency. They both made bad choices in their affiliations, it just seems the public seems to focus on the "black" candidate. Why is that? HHHHMMMMMMm can't be racism, since that no longer exists, right?
If you look at the exit polls in predominately White Indiana, Rev. Wright was not an issue. The media made it an issue. Democrats didn't care. The only people who care are people who would not vote for him anyway.
Take a look at this poll. McCain's association with Bush' is more of a negative then Rev. Wright was for Obama.
The May 1-3 poll finds 38% of likely voters saying McCain's association with Bush makes them less likely to vote for McCain, while 33% say Obama's association with Wright diminishes their likelihood of voting for Obama. The Bush-McCain relationship does have more upside than the Obama-Wright association, though, as 7% say they are more likely to vote for McCain because of his association with Bush, while only 1% say they are more likely to vote for Obama because of his association with Wright.
Importantly, a majority of voters in both questions say the personal association will not affect their vote either way.
Again the people who care would not vote for him anyway.
