Three days and not so much as one comment from the left? Boy, the easiest way to disperse a pack of libs bashing Republicans is to throw in an ounce of truth and logic. The same can be said the other way around, too, but no response!? I'm surprised! Wow! Three days and not so much as one comment from the left?

Wow. I guess the calling for Bush's murder, t-shirts saying F- Bush are just innocent misunderstandings. BTW, do you know where the term "magic negro" came from? http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,5335087.story From what I can see, he is quite the liberal.

Did anybody actually listen to the song? People seem to think the song is a direct parody of Barack Obama, but click the link above and listen to the whole song. The person truly being satirized is the Rev. Al Sharpton, after an opinion piece appeared in the LA Times by David Ehrenstein talking about how Barack would serve as the "Magic Negro" to guilty whites (read it: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,5335087.story?coll=la-opinion-center)and made reference to comments made by Joe Biden during the primaries referring to Mr. Obama as "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." (Read about it here: http://www.observer.com/node/36658) After the opinion piece came out, poor Rev. Al was left standing there saying "Hey! Remember me?! Democratic presidential candidate in '04?!" Aww, poor Rev. Al. ;) Well, now that you actually know what this thing is really about, let's have a good discussion!!! While reading the above discussion, one thing came to my mind.

The biggest thing I have seen, that seems to indicate that Obama might really been different, is the openness of his transition. He is making a lot of stuff public that no president has ever done previously.

No I'm not a Democrat but an Independent mostly voting Democrat. You Rush Lovin GOPers are a bunch closed minded, flag waving morons. I'm a retired Air Force Officer and after the past 8 years I am ashamed of our government and yes our country. I loved Capitalism until it became a money grab of greedy Republican CEOs and bankers. Thank God for Obama and your rhetoric no longer flies.

Let’s see, A long time ago only Jews were God’s chosen people, then comes Jesus and teaches people about the love of God for his creation, he is crucified, dies and rises from the dead and promises to come back to judge humanity, his 12 disciples convert people regardless of race and ethnicity and we have a universal church. Then we get the Christian(followers of Christ) right and they judge people by the color of their skin, they talk to God daily but do not have the humility that the saints had after talking to the Lord of time, space and creation, they think he is their personal genie, “name it and claim it” They become increasingly xenophobic and spread their hate around the world even on Christmas day, the birth day of the aforementioned savior who died for the sins of the world. It is indeed a shame. “And Jesus wept.” For this reason there will be final judgment when humanity will realize how we have wronged God and each other by abusing his creation. “a Christmas gift”
