"IF YOU WERE OFFENDED...."
IS NOT AN APOLOGY.
Bill O'Reilly talks about lynching Michelle Obama

and "no legs" were really given to that news story. Bill Cunningham
blatantly said racist things about Barack (but apparently doesn't see himself as a bigot), when introducing John McCain. And people are so mixed up about the picture trotted out at this convenient time for Hillary Clinton with Barack in Somalia ~not Kenya, like a blogger and many commenters are claiming is the case.
Hillary gave no clear "rejection" of this picture being used to perpetuate people's unbased fears. However, Hillary demanded Barack "reject" at the debate in Ohio over Louis Farrakhan saying positive things about himself as a candidate. Hillary was evasive about one of her campaign members being behind the circulation of the picture. She does have the history in this campaign of using such tactics to use people's biases to gain ground on Senator Obama. How come she hasn't REJECTED all the statements said by her surrogates about Barack that are bigoted and perpetuating racism? There were soft answers, when she had to answer, but no "rejections" were demanded of her. She didn't get angry over her representatives using fear to rake up votes. Barack has been tolerant of the issue of attacking from the place of playing with people's prejudice, residual, covert and overt racism. Shame on YOU, Hillary Clinton. This is why I believe Hillary demonstates her leaning toward divisiveness and not unifying us.
Richard Cohen of the Washington Post writes about the Farrakhan issue:
"It's important to state right off that nothing in Obama's record suggests he harbors anti-Semitic views or agrees with Wright when it comes to Farrakhan. Instead, as Obama's top campaign aide, David Axelrod, points out, Obama often has said that he and his minister sometimes disagree. Farrakhan, Axelrod told me, is one of those instances."
Fact: Lynching is not an acceptable concept and should be REJECTED by all candidates.
Fact: Barack Obama is NOT MUSLIM.
Barack's middle name is a name. Nothing more.
King Hussein of Jordan is admired ~ so it only proves how ignorant we Americans can be if we hold against Barack the middle name that he was given.
Barack has brought together volunteers in his campaign across ages, generations, ethnicities, political parties, gender and energized those who have never "dropped in" the political life of our country, has brought back those who have dropped out because they lost faith in our government and how it deals. And the young people are stepping up big time for the Obama campaign. And I believer the record shows that Barack Obama is the primary one to bring out 3 times the voters in this primary and caucus season over those in the past.
Here is an example of the diversity of women that have unified behind the Presidential candidacy of Barack Obama.

shapes, and colors working together in support of a
common pursuit - effecting major change in Washington
and electing Barack Obama President.
