    I'd say that Palin changed my vote from "absolutely keep Palin out of the white house" to "I'm not a big fan of a lot of what McCain stands for, but Palin isn't totally inept."

    Both campaigns are guilty, as are FOX and CNN.

    Now there's an endorsement that just screams "Commander in Chief".

    His was a response to Red. And there was nothing new there to comment on that I haven't said already, so why belabor the issue?

    What's it to you, anyway?

    im not sure he's a racist. he's obviously angry and inflammatory and embarrassingly ignorant about some things (the HIV issue most notably), but i looked over many quotes of his and didnt find any id call racist.

    is he anti-american because he hates many things that our country has done? i think he's a greater american for it. he hasnt emigrated or given money to al-queda (that ive heard of).

    here's one of his quotes that mentions race----"Barack knows what it means to be a black man to be living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people."

    i dont interpret that as racist.

    lets see....our government inventing AIDS so as to infect and kill the black population, or the US of KKK America.......i interpret that as racist. i don't think that a great american thinks that way, but maybe you see it differently.

    those comments are dealing with race but it doesnt make them racist. saying that you believe someone else is racist doesnt make you a racist.

    Let me get this straight....You're actually trying to defend Wright's statement's by arguing that he's not a racist? That's laughable.

    Here...let Wright speak for himself...

    The SOB says Africa about 100 times in the video. He constantly talks about how evil we are here in the US. May I suggest that he take his sorry ass over to Africa if he has it so bad over here. Wouldn't he be happier?
