		<description>I came here in search of contact info for Faye Wattleton so that I might send a note of support for her argumentation today.  In my temporary lapse, I thought I would commend her for her stance on the critical contribution of 1960&#039;s radical voices in the Civil Rights Movement vs. her White colleagues who argued furiously for the illusion of &quot;post racial&quot; Black people.  

But, I come here only to find Ms. Wattleton&#039;s referencing Rev Jeremiah Wright as a &quot;minstrel&quot; suggesting Ms. Wattleton has a socio-cultural-political split-personality.  

This glaring inconsistency is further evidence of what many of us knew - that is, the perpetual unwillingness of cable news agencies to seek Black cultural thinkers who are steady in their positions and whose thinking is well connected.

		<description>Why does Faye Wattleton refer to sitting U.S. Senators as Mr. or Ms its as if she has no respect for addressing Senator Obama or Senator Clinton by their rightful titles.</description>

		<description>As President for the Center for the Advancement of Women, why why why do you insist on referring to Hillary Clinton as MRS. CLINTON????? I don&#039;t get it. And I&#039;m not a HIllary supporter (go Obama) but I do think, Faye, you should refer to Senator Clinton as just that... SENATOR CLINTON......
Rethink this please and start giving her some respect apart from being married to Bill.</description>

		<description>Just wait until the American voting public realize just how political Obama really is!  

Without his connection to the black community through Trinity United, he would not have such a large following amoung black voters.  Wright became enraged when he realized that Obama was not a believer of  &quot;Black Liberation Theology&quot; but was using his association with him and his church to gain support from the community for his political ambitions.</description>

		<description>How long is CNN and other news hungry channels, going to  play this &quot;guilt by association&quot; bit with Obama and Wright? If  you plan to scrape the bottom of the barrel ,then is it true that Hillary is a  &quot; sex addict and a liar&quot; because her husband was? Is Cheney a latent homo sexual because his daughter is? and all those who keep inviting foul mouthed Coulter to spit out garbage, as deep as her in the gutter? CNN&#039;s bias to-wards Hillary is becoming shameful. Comedians should keep to comedy and not show political bias. I can no longer watch Jon Stewart. Political satire should be evenly distributed, until they become president, then there is only one. MSNBC has shown more neutrality than any other channel. CNN used to be the respected channel where even the CIA and FBI looked for accurate information, what happened?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m disappointed in CNN. They are &quot;beating this dog to death&quot;. Your tabloid journalism is reminding me more of Fox News. Aaaargh!!

Blacks and Whites both are exhausted of this topic. It&#039;s almost like...BRING BRITTANY BACK!!!  Understand that the majority of voters are concerned about health, education, was, taxes, gas and jobs. This is fluff journalism and you used to be better than this. 

You spur this tit for tat and luckily, you haven&#039;t fooled all of us. I turn you off now at 10:00pm.

Last word on Rev. Wright - report if you must how he was Bill&#039;s spiritual advisor when he was doin&#039; Lewinsky. Bet Hillary joined his church that Sunday!</description>

		<description>AS an EX-SUPPORTER of Mr. Obama I just cannot believe what you Obama supporters say in these blogs.  Obama brought all of this on himself -- he had to know at the beginning of his election that the Wright Issue, William Ayers, and Razko were going to be a big problem.  He just figured with some luck the American people would not find out, and I will bet in a million years Obama never figured Reverend Wright would go on a TALKING TOUR and put Obama in his place.  Reverend Wright said it correctly -- that Obama shares Wrights views, but he is a TYPICAL POLITICIAN and has to speak what the American people want to hear.  That did it for me -- Obama will not get my vote now, and if he by some miracle becomes the Dem. Nom. I will vote for McCain.  Just way, way too many interactions with undesirable people.  I really think that Obama used all of these people coming out of his closet just to climb the Political ladder.  I really think we have only scratched the surface with Obama -- many more things will come out.  Those SKELETONS in the Closet are really getting RESTLESS, and speaking of closets what is this deal between Obama and Larry Sinclair that is all over the Internet?  Everyone should just Google Larry Sinclair - Obama.  VERY INTERESTING............The White House just cannot hold all of Obama&#039;s Skeletons.  Also the interview with Michelle was a real FLUFF  -- BORING -- BORING.................Just remember American People-- Obama is not the Pied Piper.  Also what is this Obama Cult following????????????</description>

		<description>To &quot;Rosie&quot;  hispanics are not an &quot;homogenous&quot; group and the majority have already supported Hillary Clinton.
Obama has argued that he is &quot;not responsible&quot; for Rev. Wright&#039;s comments, views, actions; however Obama is measured and judged by his OWN comments, views and actions: member of this church for 20 years!;  views such as &quot;clinging&quot; to faith.... ; description of Wright&#039;s as his &quot;spiritual leader&quot;, as an &quot;uncle&quot; and now as &quot;antiethical to the campaign&quot;??! Obama should have denounced and disassociated from his pastor a long time ago....He could have attended any other protestant black church emphasizing the fundamental christian message of love and tolerance. This is what really defines him as a person and his character....</description>

		<description>I am constantly amazed at how so many are missing an important fact . Barack has shown so much strength when he did not disavow the pastor for the sake of making those with issues of their own happy. His pastor has just made it possible for him to finally, once and for all, state that Wright&#039;s views were not synonymous with Barack&#039;s campaign of unity and moving this country toward greatness. It is also interesting that commentators incessantly rant about his 20 year membership in a church and say ,&quot;How could he not know...?&quot; One of the most stand up people against the war in the senate was Robert Byrd. He was, I am told, associated with the KKK in the past.  He has changed. But should one distance himself/herself from him today? Barack did what he had to do when he had to do it. So far, he has demonstrated that he is a man of integrity and intelligence. He possesses family values, is not impulsive and believes he can help change the way government operates. We all know that needs to happen. Best of all, he is not tainted with the  &quot;experience&quot; that got our America into the mess we are in today. During this campaign he has conducted himself with the dignity we need in a president. All the while, pundits are calling for him to show toughness.  Shoddiness in tactics in a campaign might be entertaining but it is not toughness. You were right on time with the Wright issue, Obama. Continue to use good judgment.  Maybe the media will let you tell us more about how you intend to move us forward with truthfulness and vision. Heaven knows we need it.</description>

		<description>Now that the media has judged Obama&#039;s character  on the words of Rev, Wright, how will the media judge Hillary&#039;s and (Bill&#039;s-oops we found over eight years ago... very little) character with a convicted child molestor as a minister.</description>

		<description>Why hasn&#039;t anyone talked  about  and attacked Sen. Clinton about the conviction of her pastor, WILLIAM PROCANICK, on sexual abuse of a seven year old? This man was convicted on March 31, 2008 to 3 years in prison and the media made NO MENTION of it, being too busy crucifying Sen. Obama. This  is a blatant inequality in which the media must bear all the blame. Fair is fair. I am really disappointed in the way the media had jumped ont he &#039;attack Obama&#039; campaign when it was said they were going too soft. REPORT THE FACT!! Equally and fairly. That&#039;s really what most of us want.</description>

		<description>Michael Moore was trying to align 2008 with 1959.  How old was Michael Moore in 1959?  As out-spoken that Mr.Moore is, I just can&#039;t imagine him staying 20 years or even 20 days in a church pew with someone showing hatred towards his country.   Loved his movies, just can&#039;t understand his comments tonight.  Can they be a little skewed.  OOPS being a little synical - wait that&#039;s Michael Moore style.</description>

Loved his movies, just can&#039;t understand his comments tonight.  Can they be a little skewed.  OOPS being a little synical &#8211; wait that&#039;s Michael Moore style.</p>

		<description>I am from Florida, and I don&#039;t care if they count my vote at all, because to me it is meaningless. This election has already been decided by CNN.  Obama gets all the publicity, and Hillary gets made fun of by  Campbell Brown, and Jack Cafferty.   I don&#039;t know who they think they are.  She is still a candidate, and should be shown just as much respect as Obama, who doesn&#039;t deserve our  respect because of his 20 years with a pastor (and I use the term pastor lightly), who preaches hate to whites and damns America.

		<description>It is amazing how easily led the American public is.  Why are so many people swayed by such ridiculousness.  I guess we have to wait til the fall for McCain to have to explain his own crazy religious leader.  But by then, we will be in yet a third war and everything else will be forgotten.</description>

		<description>I agree with all who really blames the MEDIA for a lot of this mess. Many times I turn the TV when Campbell Brown and Anderson Cooper ( who was one of my favorite anchors) come on.  I really hate when I hear comments liike 48% of Democrats say, Or 56% of Americans say...this is bull. I never voted in any poll. We need to call the media out on this type of reporting that perpetuates lies and mud slinging.</description>

		<description>Republican ads are already appearing against the Democratic candidates - both Clinton and Obama need to define themselves more fully now rather than let the GOP do it for them.  I&#039;m more comfortable with Clinton right now because I know her record; Obama remains a big question mark - a question mark he has needed to answer for months but hasn&#039;t.  Obama should have already been talking about the specifics of his plans and goals - just like he should have dealt with Reverend Wright 6 weeks ago.  I&#039;m tired of the distractions and the surrogates;  they aren&#039;t running for office - Obama is.  I want to hear it from him.

		<description>Arizona Jim............

Why would the frontrunner of the three candidates left running for president be asked to pull-out?  He wins across the board against either Hillary or McCain.  Everyone better get used to it..........Obama will win in November.</description>
