Three days later, January 26, Clinton attempted to quell all of the speculation. Standing alongside First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President Al Gore in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Clinton waged his finger at news cameras and declared: “But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time — never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people.” For the next seven months, Clinton’s friends and top advisors, including the First Lady, made numerous TV appearances upholding the President’s denial, even citing “a vast, right-wing conspiracy” against the President. Several aides were also called to testify regarding any communications they had with the President about Lewinsky and repeated Clinton’s denials to all questioners, including to Ken Starr’s federal grand jury.

How can Senator Clinton justify this? From what I’m hearing, spiritual advisor, husband – you cannot have long-term associations with them if they have been involved in acts that undermine the sentiments of the American public. Senator’s Clinton’s husband held the highest office in the land and while in that office was questioned for Whitewater (she was also involved), the mysterious death of Mr. Foster of Whitewater, the long time association with Mayor Daley of Chicago, and the impeachment proceedings dealing with infidelities and lies of infidelity. Senator Clinton was there for the whole ride, so she should very well clear up the air about her over 20 year association and marriage to Bill Clinton who flat out chose to decieve the American public, while his 2008 Presidential nominee wife stood right by his side and now is not being held accountable for his wrongdoing. Minister Wright is not running for President of the United States, and he is being scrutinized as though he is. Senator Clinton’s husband was the President, so where are the questions about Hillary’s judgment about staying with a man who not only betrayed her, but betrayed a nation? I just don’t get it!!!

Did US actions cause 9/11? He is saying the same thing Ron Paul did. Blowback.

“And if the recent comments about her hatred of America by Obama?s wife Michelle is any indication, the entire Obama family holds the very same racist, anti-American thoughts as Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.”

No. That is quite a leap. A logically twisted assumption.

No, that’s not true. Bigotry involves stereotyping and personal dislike. Hagee’s opinions of the Catholic Church (at least those I have seen) are about the organization itself. Calling Hagee’s comments about the Catholic Church bigoted is like calling Regan’s “Evil Empire” comment bigoted or calling Bush’s “Axis of Evil” comment bigoted. It is improperly attributing a comment about an institution to those dominated by the institution.

Yes, Hagee is anti-Catholic, just like I am, and just like most protestants are. That’s what protestantism is, you know, protest against the Catholic Church. That doesn’t mean that we are bigoted against Catholics or hate Catholics or have anything to apologize for in our beliefs.

The following is my 4 step AP Style Guide on Defending Barack Obama. For my examples I use excerpts from Associated Press writer Phillip Elliott in his recent article, Obama Tries to Allay Jewish Concerns. All comments surrounded by parenthesis in bold…

Obama’s judgment: Wright or Wrong

That’s what is important about this story. Obama and his supporters all talk about his character and his courage to change things. He couldn’t even change his own church – nor was he willing to try. There is no inspiring story of Obama rising from the pew and leaving in disgust. Does he recognize racism when he hears it? Apparently not. So why should we believe that he has the wisdom to reveal America’s illnesses and offer proscriptions?

Barack Obama is a fraud in the grand style of Chicago politics.
