Right-Wing Media Venom Spreads to Mass Media
Fox News and the right-wing have been hard at work spreading their vile messages of hate about Barack Obama, none of which have anything to do with reality or the real issues America now faces. Remember what is at stake in the General election. Don't get distracted with sophomoric venom.

Hey Frank! You know this crap is annoying at a time when we should be focusing on the issues. However, can one of the issues be judgement as Obama himself raised? I think our concern with Obama is not what his friends think or the stupid personal habits people in a vacuum try to find symbolism in. Our concern is who will he turn to as advisors once in office. He has said that his lack of experience will be covered by his judgement of the situation and the advice of his cabinet/staff. With Wright and others advising him should we not question his judgement without being called racist or bigoted? I fear that by legitimately critizing his candidacy after this speech will set up a racial charge at a point even though he I think seriously is not trying too.
I think that instead of how Obama has reacted, his true reaction about Wright and others should have been more about how listening to diverse opinion is important and then passing judgement rather than continuing George W Bush's practice of listening to only those who agree with him and then taking their blanket advice. I think Obama has made a mistake that made him the candidate who happened to be black into the black candidate with his reactions recently. By this I mean, he changed tact and got off message of being for all and made it more about making this a moral choice for white voters to select him. Before this speech he was just one people flocked too now it seems we are being shamed into voting for him because we need to right a wrong... even though he says we aren't righting a wrong of history.
We are Democrats in our household, but Obama is concerning us more and more every day with his judgement platform than Hillary. Sure Hillary has her issues on that too, but voting for the devil you know than the devil you don't is a thought I find myself saying a lot lately. I just want to win but I fear all this talk, which Obama himself is guilty in part with starting, will hurt our chances later in 2008.
