So by virtue of that all black men must be extremist nutcases, and no black man can be trusted. But you are not a bigot! No you are not being an extremist yourself.
I am not sold on Obama, but I do see what appears to be a well meaning human being. His public persona is the most tightly controlled I have ever witnessed, and that concerns me, since we never get to see beneath the veneer.
His image is obviously a construct, an extremely carefully built construct designed by an extremely good team. I wish to know who that team is.
However I know enough about Clinton and McCain to know that they are poison.
If you think the media loves Obama, well you don't read much do you?
I have seen times in this campaign where out of thousands of articles in Google News, only two or three addressed Obama in a primarily negative light, and the rest were pro Clinton.
It is the media's aversion to Obama which suggests to me that he may be of some value, much like the fact that Ron Paul was not sanctioned.
We most need someone not sanctioned by the parties. The devil would suit that role for me.
If he turned out to be truly for the rights of the people, well that would be just a bonus wouldn't it!

I don't think the media 'loves' Senator Obama, but I do think that they are forced to tread very carefully where he is concerned. Can you imagine the media madhouse if Senator McCain were associated with, as an example, David Duke? Or if he'd had a 20+ year record of attending the Westboro Baptist Church (of "God Hates Fags" fame)?

Either Senator Obama is absolutely clueless (in which case, I'd question his ability to conduct meaningful policy discussions), or he thinks I'm so naive that I'll believe that, in two decades, he never heard any of those..

Wait, wait, wait...
So if I'm making a lot of promises that will genuinely help people
taxing where appropriate
reducing taxes where appropriate
defending my nation as and when it is required
protecting and nurturing the economy
but if I'm not wearing some stupid pin on my lapel, I'm suddenly disrespecting my country?

Oh God, I'm so tired of all this pro-Obama BS that's going on currently.
Is Mr. Obama a Muslim?
Mr. Obama has repeatedly denied being a Muslim and has stated at numerous primary events that he is a Christian and “loves Christ”. However, as you will note further on these facts and letter from the Editor, his association and support for Muslim’s is truly unclear.

I'm not saying Obama stands for those things, nor am I saying any other candidate will, I'm asking if it's really important that people are complaining that he's not wearing a pin on his lapel, or that he might/is/may well be/is not/absolutely is/absolutely is not/never has been- a muslim.
