Jimmy Carter, not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, praised his candidate Barack Obama describing him as a black boy on PBS during the Democrat convention in Denver. You can bet if a Republican used that phraseology they would be chastised unmercifully by the Democrats and nutroots.

Frances Rice

Black Republican leader Frances Rice runs against the grain of most Democrats when she calls them racist.  She doesn’t care. That is her belief  and she isn’t backing down. Her “Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican” (Rice article on why MLK was a Republican)  billboards angered many on both sides of the aisle. She is still waiting for the Democrats to prove her wrong on  the MLK billboards without any challenge to the contrary yet.

She is one woman I respect because she admits the truth about her race’s racist history and it’s connection to the Democrat Party without regret.

The leader of the Sarasota-based National Black Republican Association is a minority within a minority. Not only is she black, she is also a Republican, a member of a party to which fewer than 10 percent of black voters in Florida belong. Her campaigns — including one meant to foil the nomination of the first black presidential candidate, Barack Obama — are best known for their shock value.

Her messages have brought condemnation from Democrats. But they have also sparked a backlash among many Republicans.

When she was criticized for raising billboards in Southwest Florida saying “Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican,” she challenged anyone to sue her if they thought she was wrong. “Let them come into court with their evidence,” Rice said.

When hearing that the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, Jim Greer, had expressed disappointment in her magazine, The Black Republican, which Greer had secured party money to publish, Rice dismissed it with a wave of her hand.

The magazine featured a picture of Ku Klux Klan members burning a cross, with the caption “Every person in this photograph was a Democrat.”

Article titles included “Democrats

embrace their child molesters,” and “Top 10 Democratic sex scandals in Congress,” and “Democrats wage war on God.”

Rice shows no intention of backing down. Her personal history of growing up in poverty under segregation is her fuel.

“This is the first time in my life that I have felt I am actually doing something about what the Democrats have done in the past and are doing now to black people,” Rice said. “If the Democrats had left us alone after the Republicans freed us from slavery we wouldn’t be having this discussion today. They are keeping blacks in virtual slavery.”

Will Reverend Jeremiah Wright be President Obama’s Spiritual adviser?

Obama has not distanced himself far enough from Jeremiah Wright. After his appearance at the National Press Club with his entourage of Nation Of Islam Bodyguards along with Cornell West, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party, Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad and ex-convict Marion Barry.

This Three ring circus did nothing for Obama’s candidacy.

In Wright’s own words from the National Press Club on Monday Apr. 28, 2008

“I stand before you to open up this two-day symposium with the hope that this most recent attack on the black church is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright; it is an attack on the black church. … The most recent attack on the black church, it is our hope that this just might mean that the reality of the African-American church will no longer be invisible.”

On Obama’s renouncing some of his remarks:

“Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls, Huffington, whoever’s doing the polls. Preachers say what they say because they’re pastors. They have a different person to whom they’re accountable. As I said, whether he gets elected or not, I’m still going to have to be answerable to God November 5 and January 21. That’s what I mean. I do what pastors do. He does what politicians do. I am not running for office. I am hoping to be vice president. …

“He didn’t distance himself. He had to distance himself because he’s a politician. From what the media was saying I had said, which was anti-American. He said I didn’t offer any words of hope. How would he know? He never heard the rest of the sermon. You never heard it. I offered words of hope. I offered reconciliation, I offered restoration in that sermon, but nobody heard the sermon. They just heard this little sound bite of a sermon.”

On his God Damning the United States and if he should apologize:

“God doesn’t bless everything. God condemns some things. And dem, D-E-M, is where we get the word damn. God damns some practices and there’s no excuse for the things that the government, not the American people, have done. That doesn’t make me not like America or unpatriotic.”

On his claim that the US invented the AIDS virus to use against minorities:

“Based on this Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything.”

On claims that he is unpatriotic:

“I feel that those citizens who say that have never heard my sermons, nor do they know me. They are unfair accusations taken from sound bites and that which is looped over and over on certain channels. I served six years in the military. Does that make me patriotic? How many years did Cheney serve?”

This press conference was not about the black church in America, it was about Jeremiah Wright and nothing else. He did himself no favor by including the New Black Panthers and the Nation Of Islam as his goon squad for protection. Obama should be ashamed of this spectacle and express his disdain for Wright.

You knew this was destined to happen with the liberal black racist organization that is known as the NAACP. Take a truthful non-racist ad and turn it around and use the race card to neutralize it’s effect. This is just a stunt by the NC NAACP perpetuated by McCain’s actions condemning it and immediately publicized by the MSM. Problem is McCain never viewed the ad.

From AP:

he North Carolina branch of the NAACP said Friday a Republican advertisement that includes a clip of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s former pastor is racially divisive.

NAACP leaders blasted the North Carolina GOP for producing an ad that shows footage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s fiery comments about the U.S. The group said the ad takes Wright’s words out of context in an effort to smear the black community and “prophetic ministers.”

“It’s a fundamentally race-baiting ad,” said Rev. William Barber, state NAACP President. “And it inserts racist sentiments.”

The sound bite shows Wright proclaiming from the pulpit “God damn America” for its racism and treatment of minorities. Obama has denounced the remarks.

The ad was posted online Wednesday. State Republican Party officials still plan to begin airing the ad on television Monday despite the objections of high-ranking Republicans, including likely GOP presidential candidate John McCain.

John McCain happens. In order to condemn this ad he should have at least watched it.

Obama and his white grandparents

Obama in his “Historical Race Speech threw ‘Grandma Under The Train”

Barack Obama, to help save his standing in the black community, described his “White Grandmother” as a racist.

… my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions – the good and the bad – of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.

His grandmother is the one who raised Barack. Talk about an ungrateful grandchild….

The Messiah has cracks in his halo.
