Joe Lowery is one of the biggest racists of all time.

NO, the Clintonistas would be the bigger RACISTs, having duped all their silly followers thru the years…STRIVE to be SMARTER than a democrackkk…
If you want real change vote for Dr. Ron Paul, the ONLY sane choice who WILL BE on the national ballot in the general election!

Obama runs a pretty clean campain. He is sincere and has some good ideas. However, what he is saying today is much different than comments he has made in the past. His statements about our American Flag is a slap in the face to the men and women who died for our freedom in wars. I will consider every candidate but will eliminate my choices one by one based on honesty and consistancy of what they say. Visiting a church, wow. What is the motive, to worship God or garner votes. I’ll pass, thank you.

LB - Barack said nothing about the flag. What he did say was that too many public figures wear a flag pin as a substitute for true patriotism. And he’s right. The Hannity’s of the world make a big deal about a pin, while they let other people’s kids go and die for our freedom.

I just got out of school (a couple hours ago from an AP Government class). Give Hillary a break! Her words were not for being Racist about the whole LJ thing. I mean..common. Dr.MLK jr. did not have his reputation hurt…He is THE man who faught for the Civil Rights movement! When I was four, I was asked to recite a portion of his ” I Have a Dream Speech” in front of hundreds and I was proud to do so….Clinton was one of the best presidents known. I do agree with some of Obama’s views but if she still can hold it down after all that has been done AND still be BESIDE her husband during every international meetings talking about future endeavors. She’s will bring it..its a walkin presidency! But…I will be at Ebenezer this Sunday!

I cannot wait to hear Senator Obama’s speech at Ebenezer Baptist Church. I am sure it will be full of truth, moving , and from the heart.
And I am pretty sure he will not be speaking in some fake Southern accent like Hillary Clinton did the last time she spoke at a black church. I don’t know what that was all about…
And one more thing…I am starting to think Bill is running for a third term instead of Hillary running for a first. I’ve seen more of him on the news lately than her.

Maybe Obama’s speech will be as uplifting as those attack ads he refused to condemn in Nevada—-The ones sponsored by the union that backed him, trashing Clinton.
Funny how Barack thought Unions shouldn’t do that when they were opposing him in Iowa. Rules are only for other candidates, not Obama’s special self, and they are subject to change at his whim. Now we know what the “change” he keeps babbling about means.
I can’t wait to hear how he works that into his truthful from-the-heart speech.

Wonderful how we posters on AJC always give such a great witness to how wonderful our state is. I can never stay on this site for long without seeing people flaming each other back and forth.
Seems like we have a lot to learn about dialogging and not calling everyone who disagrees with us names as if we were in first grade. Helllllllllllp!!!!
