@Claude, no it was entirely relevant. You said that people were being hypocritical for attacking this guy and not attacking the chick from Hillarys camp, I explained why it was the case.

Obama hasn't yet distanced himself from this guy and I don't know if he will. Also this guy is closely linked to Obama, openly endorses him, Obama knows about him and Obama hasn't yet done anything.
Let me put it this way, if you were say, Hillary, and your priest went and joined the KKK and started preaching racial supremacy and how you should win because you were white. Wouldn't you distance yourself from him?

Same situation, I'm losing respect for Obama if he doesn't distance himself from a racist person who is endorsing him and who he is closely linked to.


Oh and I don't really care if you call me an idiot to be honest =

I didn't say anything about hypocrisy, I said the people were trying to deflect Ferraro's comments by pointing at Obama's preacher instead. In other words it's damage control by shifting attention to something else. And like I said, Obama is obviously going to denounce the man, it's just ridiculous that people's 'respect' revovle around whether hedid it at 1:00 or 1:15.

 

 No respect revolves around whether he does it. If he does like you expect him to, no big deal. If he doesn't then he loses respect.

Also I think this is on the same level as Ferraro's comments, so there should probably be around the same amount of damage.

 

@famousringo, I don't think anyone is holding Obama accountable for what this guy is saying, merely saying he should distance himself from it. Also its not somebody he has 'met', its his preacher for the past 20 years. =\
