Anyone who even gives Wright a pass is scary enough; to regard him as mentor and guide is to be a potential monster.

About the “soft power” that Obama’s “face” would communicate to the radical Islamic world…Keep in mind that Obama was a Muslim and the he left Islam. He is an apostate. In Islam, apostates get the death penalty. The radicals will only see him as an apostate.

Barack Obama’s wonderful book “Dreams of My Father” where he puts the honkies in their place, and his close relationship with afrocentric mentor and adviser J. Wright, assure me that he understands where he comes from. His sympathy for his Islamist half-brother in Kenya who wishes to place the country under Sharia law, shows me his dedication to change and his independence from any ties to the dead white males who founded the US.

Any discussion of Barack Obama that omits his position as a piece of the Cook County (IL) Democratic Machine is incomplete.
This political unit is surely the most corrupt in the country.
Obama was manufactured by the Machine for the specific purpose of keeping its’ proprietor and his friends out of prison.
Of all the discussion about Obama, little of it ever considers his actual policy stands and political actions. They are, respectively, old 1968 progressive statist redux; and none.
Even less discussion ever mentions the level of corruption he represents, second in the presidential field only to Clinton.
Even then, Obama hasn’t sold pardons for cash yet because he hasn’t been in a position to.

When Obama supporters are asked why they chose their man they offer up a word salad including “hope,” “change,” “courage,” and “inclusiveness” only slightly less substantive than the candidate’s actual speeches. Interestingly, if you ask an old Bill Clinton fan what was great about Bubba you’ll get the same response.

Ask most supporters of any political candidate and you get similarly substantive responses. That is simply the current nature of our society and our political discourse. It does not set Obama supporters apart from supporters of Clinton, Edwards, Huckabee, McCain, Giulani, Romney, etc.

What is a Clinton hater? How does one define the term?

One who hates the Clintons.

Is this someone who unfairly slimes the Clintons?

That would be a symptom.

Could it also be an Orwellian term originated by the Clinton propagandists to slander anyone who criticizes them regardless of the evidence?

You mean something like BDS?

They learned from the master himself how to destroy anyone who gets in their way.

Again this does little to differentiate between candidates and less to differentiate between parties. BTW as a smear merchant Alinsky pales in comparison to Atwater.

Not yet, but perhaps he will be with more experience.

Bill Clinton is a master panderer.

Obama is still a bit of an amateur in the platitudes phase of his political apprenticeship.

“While this opera of tears spells good fun for the audience of Clinton-haters…”

“Obama is an ace student of the Clintons and he knows their playbook by heart.”

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama studied the works of Saul Alinsky. They learned from the master himself how to destroy anyone who gets in their way. It is amazing how rarely the late Chicago area radical is mentioned during this presidential campaign.
