Barack Obama’s Pitch in Kentucky
Supposedly Barack Obama’s not playing for Kentucky. You could have fooled me. He’s got 16 offices in the state next to Hillary’s 5. Hillary has no office west of Louisville. Barack Obama’s offices go from the West Virginia border to the Mississippi River. I visited one of Barack’s offices today.
So how is Barack trying to appeal to Kentuckians?
As a religious candidate.
This is how Obama is appealing to Kentuckians. I had just finished doing an undisclosed activity at Church and a friend asked me to check out Barack Obama. I couldn’t say no to my Lutheran friend.
So I drive up to the Obama office and I noticed a crudely spray-painted image of Barack Obama and a cross. So my friend and I walked in. A cross on the wall and a tall black man (a Professor of mine) greeted me. Behind him were two elderly ladies wearing crosses.
So they launched into their pitch about how Obama would care for the poor and the “least among these”.
I can’t attest to how Obama’s other 15 campaign offices in Kentucky are run. In this one the appeal to Evangelical voters is in overdrive.
I wonder what Obama campaign commercials I’ll see in the Fall.

Just imagine how this would have been received if GWB had made such an overt appeal to religion.
May 12th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Obama says he must do the Lord’s work:
Ask God to damn America
Rein in greedy white people that steal hope audacity from the world
Accuse the US govt of attempting genocide against blacks by injecting them with aids
etc
May 12th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Someone should really send this to Andrew Sullivan. See how quickly he disavows this “Christianist.”
I won’t hold my breath.
May 12th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
And I thought that Harold Ford Jr.’s attempt to constantly throw ‘God’ in every sentence seemed forced. What an utter joke this is.
May 12th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Go to church one Sunday?
And which church was that?
May 12th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
That picture of Obama speaking on an altar, was that at the “God damn America” sermon or was it at the “chickens are coming home to roost” homily?
May 12th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Honestly, I don’t blame him one bit. Perhaps this will finally put the rumors that he is a Muslim to rest; oh wouldn’t that be nice.
May 12th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Ryan in fact the Obama people looked at me and the first word… the very first words, they said were “I personally know for a fact that Obama is not a Muslim.”
I actually said “Why does that matter?”
Blank looks for about 3 seconds then back on script as if I’d not said anything.
May 12th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
8 - …Wow.
May 12th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
I find it crazy that so many voters are opposed to Obama because he’s muslim, took the oath on the Koran, and has an awful Christian pastor called Rev Wright.
Who are these people? And why do they have the right to vote? Such stupidity surely disqualifies someone from choosing the next POTUS. Its scary.
May 12th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Jaype, if stupidity were a disqualification, there would be no Democrats.
May 12th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Jonathan, I’m not sure I necessarily agree with that. There are some intelligent and sensible Democrats out there (e.g. Mark Warner). And I certainly wouldn’t call Warren Buffett stupid!
However, it would be nice if elections were decided on the issues. And then the elected officials actually did what they said they would when they get into office. Sigh!
May 12th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Vietnam Vet’s and Bluegrass people in West Virginia and Kentucky Hate Obama!!
Barack Obama has finally crossed the line!!!!!!!!! Obama has gone too far!!! He has insulted every Vietnam Vet’s in West Virginia and Kentucky. Obama has no right to finally stick on his flag pin now, stage all those flags behind him and attempts to align him self or address the Vietnam War. WV. and KY. are largely vets, patriots, Bluegrass people, and we revere God, Country, and the Flag and take this subject very seriously. I am sickened to see Obama act like he knows what it means to be a Vietnam Vet, or have Patriotism today in WV. Obama has no ideal what that means. No matter what the other states say that voted for Obama, KY. and WV. say it does matter who Obama aligns himself with and in bed with which we will prove it. WV. and KY. are going to say it loud and clear with our vote for Hillary. Obama can bypass us with his trash talk. I for one am appalled and sicken by the God, Country, Jesus, and the Flag hating states and super delegates that voted for Obama; they are betrayers of this great country. The Vietnam Vets that talk to me say Obama is a do nothing loud mouth “cowardâ€? and he needs to spend a week in a foxhole eating, drinking, and fighting with body parts, blood, guts, urine, and waste all around him, then he will only know what it means to ware a flag pin. What an insult, rouge, and a phony, putting that Flag pin on now just for WV. And KY.!! Many more tell me they wish Obama and his God, Country, and the Flag hating bed buddies were in Vietnam because they said they would have left them face down in a rice patty for disrespecting God, Country, and the Flag, which they fought and died for without batting an eye. So we say; “NOT God Dam America, But God Dam Barack Obama.” KY. and WV. are down to earth common sense patriotic states and not fooled easily with empty talk. We believe in blind faith only when it comes to God and Jesus, which Obama likes to think he is, but isn’t either of those. So do the honorable thing Obama and pass up West Virginia and Kentucky you’re not welcome here!!
May 12th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Adam,
I don’t think Harold Ford Jr.’s religious appeals were forced; I think they were almost embarrassingly sincere.
May 12th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Harold Ford Jr. is a decent man. He’s one of my favorite Democrats on a personal level.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Wow. He looks downright decent in those pieces there. I’d vote for him if he weren’t a hater at heart.
May 13th, 2008 at 1:48 am
Matt,
Maybe. There’s just something really repellent for me when a politician constantly brings God into his dialogue. I’m not talking about a reference here or there. I don’t like when any candidate runs as God’s candidate - and this Obama attempt to showcase his halo is just ridiculous.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:49 am
[...] Fast-forwarding to the present, we find Barack Obama having essentially clinched the nomination locked in a struggle to prove his electability. How does he choose to go after the Appalachian Kentucky voters whose ethnic brethren have so rejected his candidacy? [...]
May 13th, 2008 at 8:52 am
“So they launched into their pitch about how Obama would care for the poor and the “least among theseâ€?.”
Like child born alive from botched abortions, whom Obama didn’t think fit to protect in Illinois? How does protecting infanticide against born children (never mind the slaughter of the unborn which Obama celebrates) fit in with caring for the least among these?

May 13th, 2008 at 9:52 am
So he went to a local church one Sunday and became a Christian and then he kept going and hearing Rev. Wright rant and carry on. And perform his marriage and baptize his children. and preach racism. The church I belong to in Ky is not white or black - it is Christian. Thank you - Jesus is Lord!
May 13th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Obama is nothing more than a political opportunist.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:46 am
This is pretty sick. The verse (paraphrase) is “faith, hope and love.
And the greatest of these is love.” Apparantly Obama thinks love should be omitted.
I guess Obama is so great that he can re-write the Bible as he needs. How full of himself does a
person need to be to direclty steal from the Bible and twist the message to fit a political whim?
Sick.

Fifty percent of the Democratic voters, the “True Believers in Obama,” begged for a bill of goods, ten bought it. Just the wrong person to dig us out of the hole we’re in.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Hey Barack, who are you kidding - you are doing this to try and get elected. If you were a true Christian not just an opportunist trying to pretend to get votes you would not have gone with Rev Wright - and even that I suspect is bogus. You know that you must show some religious links to get elected as president so you do this. And you did the Rev Wright. And that shows bad judgement ‘cos you could have gone with any church (since it doesn’t matter to you). But you chose a nut job. You and the vicious Michelle are as much of a Christian as Bin laden.
It confirms that you are just a plain old politician trying to get elected. The only ‘Change’ you are interested in is the change to put you into the Whitehouse.
If you were the last man on earth I would not vote for you.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
I think this is an effective piece. Obama is comfortable discussing his faith, and if people were blanketing the internet with rumors about my religion — I wouldn’t hesitate to address them directly either.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Did anyone notice that it’s a BLACK JESUS in the background??
LOL! Guess that’s a Black Liberation Theology church.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Wow. Many of the comments are really pretty hateful and cynical. Where is your christian compassion? Of course he is going to accentuate his faith, particularly in states where that is important. I’ve had the fortune to meet Obama twice and talk with him. I can tell you that I believe he is utterly sincere in his faith and his commitment to the poor and working-class, as well as to helping the middle class continue to build good lives. Really, can’t we all tone down the negativity and try to listen and hear each other, rather than always attack, condemn and talk beyond one another? That is no way forward and we desperately need to find a new way forward … TOGETHER.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Todd H:
We don’t know who that is in the blurry stained glass window behind Barack. Besides, as the Bible says, Jesus was the color of burnt copper and had woolly hair like a lamb. Uhh… he wasn’t a “white” dude, as you are insinuating. So, if that is a darker skinned depiction of Jesus, it is actually more historically accurate. But, beyond that, the key point is not his look (most cultures have made culturally distinct representations of Jesus that look like them), but rather his teachings of love and compassion. Perhaps you might try to reconnect with these things instead of seeking, relentlessly, to attack and destroy this man.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
The opponents of Mr. Obama screamed that he is a Muslim, that he hates America and other lies. Now, he wears a flag pin, praises our troops and confesses his faith in Jesus Christ and still they scream. The only explanation is that these so-called patriots are racists. I am a Vietnam Veteran, a white man and I live in a rural state (Idaho) that is 80 per cent Republican and 95 per cent white. And I voted for Obama in the caucus and I will vote for him in the general. And I utterly repudiate my fellow Veterans who continue to be underinformed and spout nonsense about the patriotism and the faith of Senator Obama. It’s a disgrace to the nation the way they carry on.
And, btw, Senator Clinton is a sitting member of the US Senate. The Senate is currently in session. I have not seen one bill introduced by her to cut the federal gas tax this summer. That is the ONLY way a gas tax can be realized.
The tone of this campaign has brought out the worse in the people. I know West Virginia. It’s a beautiful state. But, I will stay away from it until they get rid of that former KKK Senator they have, the Honorable Robert Byrd. A pitiful old man, who keeps getting re-elected to the Senate. Shows what kind of voters y’all have over there.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Thank God there is a man of integrity running for President of the United States. I always laugh at sinners who question a man CLEARLY is a Christian and smear him because they have some other issue with him. God will raise this man up to be President because IT IS TIME!!! All of you who wish to smear him, AND SOMEHOW REMAIN PURE in your own minds, will learn to love and cherish him when he makes America great again. Time for you reticent, neanderthalian thinkers to really get the message of “Change We Can Believe In”.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Obama’s Christianity may look different from mine, but it is no less heartfelt and real. After graduating Harvard Law he felt the call to help in communities in crisis, rather than line his own pockets. Contrast this with GW or many other Christians who are the first to throw around the Lord’s name, but the last to do the Lord’s work.
He may have won me with this one.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Jesus said, “you shall know them by their fruits”. Barak Obama’s gospel, which is equal rights for people of color, is okay as a political agenda. However, it is NOT the gospel of Jesus Christ, which offers forgiveness for sinners who repent and turn to Jesus trusting Him alone for the free gift of eternal life. So, what about Barak Obama? Since Jesus said “you shall know them by their fruit”, what kind of fruit does Obama have? Well, for one, he does not believe in supporting the restraint of the murder of the innocent unborn (i.e. abortion). Rather, he would appoint Supreme Court justices who would support abortion. That makes Obama a cohort in the American holocost. When he stands before Jesus one day and, unless he repents, he will hear the words of Christ “depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Bush, the Republican Party, and those of the likes of the Clinton’s have failed this country miserably yet you people still claim to be “good” Americans. You are despicable and racist to say the very least.

May 14th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Obviously Jesus was half-Jewish (his Mom, remember?).
But if the original can be tracked down and this is a church with a black Jesus… problems! Some Black Liberation Theologists believe Jesus WAS an African oppressed by Whites (Romans) and see all of Christianity through those eyes.
If Obama has a black Jesus behind him — major political blunder and will be national news in a day or two. Book it.
Also, what church did he go to? Rev. Wright! Socialist Malcolm X teaching ‘church’/cult. Check out this site for obvious proof Obama is no Christian:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=v-yUCg0TASc
“Whether I was going up or down…”?? He doesn’t KNOW? He’s not a Christian
and used his church for shameless political advantage.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Barack Obama may be a liberal, but I believe he is a good Christian despite his crazy pastor. I look at Obama and see a good family man. He won’t be like Bill Clinton who had an affair with Gennifer Flowers, harassed Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey, raped Juanita Broaddrick, and lied under oath about oral sex with a 21 year old intern Monica Lewinsky. Just think about the fact that Chelsea is only about 3 years younger than Monica. It makes me sick to my stomach.
I also don’t think John McCain is a man of character. His first wife waited for him throughout Vietnam. But when she became disabled in a car accident, McCain began cheating on her with many women, including female subordinates in the Navy. That’s violation of military ethics. Then while he was still married to his first wife, McCain zeroed in on a beer heiress who was 20 years younger than him. Cindy was only in her 20s at the time. That’s just disgusting to me.
I can’t relate to the lives of McCain or Clinton. But to me, Obama seems like a good man and a normal person.

Almost everyone in America “accepts Jesus into their life”, but which one? There are so many different ones being preached and taught out there. The ONLY Jesus that matters is the ‘Jesus of Nazareth’, ‘The Lord’ (not just Saviour), Immanuel (God with us) The Way the Truth and The Life…”no man comes to the Father except through Me (Jesus)”.
It doesn’t matter if you ‘decide for Jesus’ or ‘Accept him into your life’ it ONLY matters if HE (the King of Glory accepts them!
Big difference!

Everyone in Kentucky needs to ask themselves if they are truely better off now than 20 years ago. Why 20 years,
does everyone realize that since 1988 we have had a Bush or Clinton to choose from? I do not know about

I’m upset that he would make the fine people of Kentucky and West Virginia sound so hateful and uncaring. Go to church Buddy and search your heart for the goodness God gave you and then try and help someone who needs it rather spewing evil hatred at others. And most importantly, be good to yourself my brother.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
So people actually think war mongering McCain is a better choice than poverty fightin’ Obama? No wonder our leaders have such an easy time taking us into undeclared wars and spending our children’s children’s money.
Todd H:
Jesus was most likely dark skinned. Look it up in one of ‘them thar books.’ By the way, I’m not black. I’m a non-denominational American-beaner. Also, Jesus would have surely been called liberal by the conservative Pharisees and Sadducees.
Just because I/we haven’t gone to a foreign nation and killed some indigenous people doesn’t mean we don’t love this country. Approval of war DOES NOT equal patriotism. The disapproval of undeclared wars does not mean we do not support our troops.
We love our troops, we love this country and we’re sick of authoritarian bigots saying otherwise.

Search in your heart, not your prejudiced minds. This man, Barack Obama, is deserving of the support of all Christ loving people. He lives his life as someone who understands the message of the Good Samaritan, instead of just talking about it. Learn more about the man’s good works and deeds, his messages will be honed and tweaked by experts on politics, but do remember he is running for President of the United States and not soliciting support to be the new Deacon.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
I consider myself fairly religious (I’m LDS…not to be confused with FLDS), but this stuff is a total turnoff to me. I don’t care if he’s accepted Jesus into his life. I want to know how he’s going to fix our economic problems…and more taxes isn’t the answer.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Hey Michael (#56)
Does the Lord’s work include abortion, gay marriage, etc.? That’s what Obama stands for. You’ve got to be kidding! This nation wasn’t built on baby killing or homosexuality.
This nation cannot be great by giving condoms to kids in school (Democrats are for that) allowing sodomites to marry (Obama is for that) and taking guns from the people (Obama is for that.) This nation is far from perfect, but give me a break, Michael! Are you that blind?
Make a deal with you, Mike. If Obama promises to end abortion (WHICH MURDERS OVER 1 MILLION BABIES EVERY YEAR IN THIS COUNTRY) and if Obama comes out against homosexuality I’ll vote for him.
May 14th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Wow, the comments of some of you “Christians” are amazing. You are quick to
condemn Barack Obama for saying he’s a Christian. Why? You point to all types
of silly things like his associations. Well, if you actually read the Bible you
would see that Jesus hung around and came to the rescue of “questionable”
characters. Some of you are so Christian and judgemental that if Jesus himself
came to Earth you would say he wasn’t a Christian. What a joke. Do you think Christianity
is going to church everytime the doors open and quoting the Bible from cover
to cover? The real Christians are out in the field doing God’s work everdayf,not
sitting in church condemnming people. Ever heard of wolves in sheep clothing?
If you guys are the one’s deciding who is and
isn’t Christian, then I will stay a heathen. Oh, I guess if I’m a “conservative or Republican”
then I can say and do anything and get away with it as long as I say I’m a Christian. This doesn’t
apply to everyone but if the cap fits, wear it.
This is sickening.

Are you critical of churches when they have a blond-haired, blue-eyed Christ image in the church? This is, of course, nothing like what the historical Jesus looked like…
But, again, you miss my point, which is that the race of the depiction of Jesus is irrelevant. It is the essence of his message: love and compassion and redemption!

you can no more say there is a black jesus in the background than i can say there isnt. You are making an assumption, which is more than likely isnt true. Who says that jesus isnt all things to everyone?
May 14th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Here’s something that is really bothering me: Obama claims to be a commited Christian and yet he suports abortion - even partial birth abortion, which is terrible. I haven’t heard anybody address this contradiction?
May 14th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Hey Kevin (ChristNazi) - #80 (certain to have been a slave owner, not an abolitionist)! Lying, changing the lie when the first is revealed as untruth, lying again, changing the lie ad infinitum to justify killing people with young, innocent American boys and girls is OK! But let people decide for themselves what is right and wrong in the most LIBERAL democracy in the history of the world is not OK! Yes, you have let everyone on this list know you are a FASCIST! Christ would have known there were homosexuals and mothers seeking abortions in his midst, he would have counseled them with love and provided for their well being. You just want them all to disappear. You are no lover of Christ, you are a hater of all those that are different from yourself.

It seems to me I remember a big fuss when in one of Governor Huckabee’s commercials, the lighting briefly made a bookcase look like a cross. “Separation of Church and State?” the Democrats screamed. Where’s their outrage now?

The Patriot (#76) said, “Just because I/we haven’t gone to a foreign nation and killed some indigenous people doesn’t mean we don’t love this country.” I was with you there, until you say you support the troops and then make comments like this. Those of us who served, whether or not we support the war, have a hard enough time coming home and coming to grips with the “reality” of war.
Please don’t tell me you support me, then tell me I go over to kill indigenous people. I don’t need that kind of encouragement.

“God will raise this man up to be President”…does this country believe in the separation of church and state, or not?!! I will vote for NO ONE who campaigns based on his/her religious beliefs - and the more apparent he/she makes it, the more likely I’ll be to campaign AGAINST them. My religious beliefs are private, and I would hope that the President of the United States would keep his/hers private as well. “God” does not enact the laws of this country, enforce them, or uphold the U.S. Constitution.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Jack,
You’re spot on with your comment.
Matthew 7:15-23 is it in a nutshell. You can’t be a Christian without obeying Christ’s commands. And you can’t do the will of God apart from the clear directives given in the Bible. Anything outside of that is man-centered religion and is the broad path that leadeth to destruction.
God has knit every child in the womb of his mother, they are His creation, and terminating those lives cannot in any way shape or form be doing the will of God. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Sanctity of life must be the litmus test for any true follower of Christ when choosing who to support in an election. If it’s not, it’s hard to believe that a saving faith truly exists.
God bless,
Chris

Essay Questions!
#1 - Please provide proof that Reverend Wright preached hate and bigotry (3x a week) for 20 years. Proof would involve video footage from less than seven years ago or documented reports from white church members that they were the victims of hate speech. Proof can also involve police records of hate crimes committed by church members, which is behavior commonly associated with hate groups, or reports from teachers who say that the children of this church display the kind of hate speech and prejudice that would be evident were they exposed to it on a regular basis.
#2 - If you cannot complete essay #1, then please provide proof that Barack Obama was present at every sermon that Reverend Wright gave (3x a week, for 20 years.) Failing that, please provide proof that Barack Obama was present every Sunday for 20 years. Failing that, please provide proof that Barack Obama was present during the incidences where Reverend Wright gave what few sermons are documented as being controversial.
Failing that, please give your opinion on the intelligence of a person who draws serious conclusions based on little to no proof.
Papers due by Thursday.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Hey Kevin #80 You said this nation wasn’t built on homosexuality and Baby
killing. Well your right. This nation was built on slavery and genocide.
I guess those are wholesome Christian values. This whole conversation is a joke.
I’m going to find something more productive to do with my time. Have a good day.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Pretty ridiculous. But don’t worry ’cause we got McCain to look out for us……..sorry I just barfed again!
May 14th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
To #98. I guess you would have opposed George Washington to be our President. Your comment is the height of hypocrisy. There is no requirement for a person running for President or for local government Dog Catcher to reveal or hide his/her religious affiliation. George Washington was proud of his Christianity and spoke of it often. I believe the standard set by him is OK with me.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
The level of hatred towards this man is astounding…vote for him or dont, but the comments of some of these posters is despicable. He graduated Harvard Law and could have written his own ticket and made millions; instead, he decided to work in his community. How many of us would have done the same??
May 14th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Separation of church and state huh? No politician should confuse god and government but
YOU people do not give them a choice. YOU are the reason this flyer exists, and then you
question his bid for your specialized vote? Freedom of religion or no religion is every
Americans right, a fact you should cherish, yet a lot of you try to force only your religion
into all aspects of government or government backed public agencies. Yes our ancestors where
selfish in their bid for religious freedom, ask Native Americans, “witches”, slaves, etc. etc.
Faith should have you flocking to the court rooms to tear down the word god blazed on the walls.
Faith should have you wiping out the name of god on all money. Faith should give you the power
and wisdom to know that god is in control. As with most modern christians actually following
the example of christ whose ONLY moment of rage fueled action was to get the tax collectors out
of the house of god. Be a good servant of christ, if the government intrudes into your religion,
kick ‘em out of the temple, if not pay casers taxes and worship and preach and do good. As to
the “fruits”; work as hard to protect the lives of the living as the unborn and maybe people will
start to take your argument to heart, GWB’s fruits are being seen by all. When he gets to heaven
HE will have to answer for MANY more lives than Barack…
If god is love he is not well represented by most of these comments. - BWB
May 14th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Teach my daughters morals values,if they make a mistake and get pregnant I dont want them PUNISHED with a child.Sounds like having an abortion is an option?The choice was made during conseption,the child is the result of ones actions.Only a godless liberal will try to justify there unrighteousness.Self justification is the first step to a reprobate mind.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
I love to hear so called Christians talk about others who profess to be Christians and criticize them. They remind me of the group of people who attacked and killed JESUS (The African born baby with lamb’s wool hair(kinky) whose feet looked like BURNT BRASS -really black). Learn your history and get a map (Pre-colonial)
I also love to hear those people talk about Rev. Wright and claim he is ANTI AMERICAN because he said God’damn’ America. Rev. Wright is an AMERICAN who has to right to CRITICIZE the international policies of his country. Much the same way that JESUS damned his government for their political policies against the people especially the poor.
P.S. Harold Ford is a lying crook just like the rest of his FAMILY!
May 14th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
For those who so graciously are giving Barack the benefit of the doubt, I urge you to do a little homework on the following two names. Antonio Rezko and Odinga Raila. Then ask yourself if Barack is really the man you think he is.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Funny, how many people call themselves Christian and spread hate on an innocent man. If you are better
thank Obama, where is your christian compassion? Ask yourself seriously
May 14th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Its funny to hear all the conservatives ramble off the same attacks that have been played non stop on radical republican media. Why dont you people pay attention to the issues instead of these stupid worthless attacks that dont mean anything.
As for this religious flyer, it is wrong when any candidate throws Jesus in people faces to get votes. Its sad how religion plays such a huge roll in today’s politics. The sad fact is, that this is what Obama has to do to try and dispel this Muslim myth (and yes it is a myth. Don’t be ignorant, if you seriously still think this then please do some research).
One of Obama’s major issues with blue collar voters is this Muslim thing and that is why he is trying to go out of his way to dispel it. For god sakes “Barack Obama Muslimâ€? is the third most popular Google search for the presidential candidate’s name. I don’t agree with what he is doing, but honestly, I can’t blame him.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Jesus did address the crime of abortion in this passage.
LUKE 23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
Maybe Obama and the rest of the so called Christians that support abortion should read this. Not that they care what God feels about it and they will likely twist it in their twisted serpentine carnal minds into a passage that supports abortion as a “woman’s right” to kill her own children.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Actually,
I get faith, hope and change when I buy a lottery ticket . . .
I get Life, Truth and Love when I tithe at church . . .
Which do you prefer in the President of the United States of America?
May 14th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
SadState… no one is saying Obama is squeaky clean. But when you compare his level of questionable connections/dealings with Hillary’s or McCains, he actually comes out looking pretty good.
Now I like McCain, but, for all his rhetoric, has a history of some truly disturbing shady deals. The “Keating 5″ were not the last of them, either.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I digress, if Barack Obama is a muslim then somebody better run and tell
Rev Wright.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
There are many policy reasons not to vote for Obama. His faith is NOT one of them.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Personally, I will likely give Obama a chance, especially if he picks someone like Chuck Hagel or Jim Webb as a VP.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I’ve never seen so much hatred!
BO did NOT insult any vet!
My mission in Desert Storm was to medical triage, treat, care, and transport over 17,000 IRAQI Soldiers at the Rahfa Enemy Prisoner of War Camp in Saudia Arabia before shipping them to Basra via Riyadh. I’ve had the opportunity to work with the French Foreign Legion, 18th Airborne Corp, 62nd Medical Group, 44th Air Evacuation Medical Brigade, 36th Medical Battalion, 512th Military Police, 8th Evacuation Hospital, 10th Mountain Division, 10th Special Forces Group, 82nd Airborne Division, and 15th Evacuation Hospital.
During that time, I had an accident on “MSR Montana” in which I flipped and total my $125,000 Ambulance. It was still operational, but over $50,000 in damaged. I try to avoid hitting an Saudi civilian truck during a convoy. Myself with 6 other ambulances was going to support 44th Medical Evacuation Company at King Khalid Military City (KKMC).
Due to this accident, I have been diagnosed with DJD/DDD. Degenerative Joint Disease & Degenerative Disc Disease.
I’m supporting BO because the legislation he passed on VA Hospitals & Outpatient Services that has assisted me to receive better care in Atlanta.
I’m committed to Senator Barack Obama for President 08 campaign for the following reasons:
1. His foreseen future of the Iraq War
2. His legislature decisions for Veterans
3. His stance on “waterboarding”. The only remaining Presidential Candidate that voted NO AGAINST TORTURE
4. The charisma, innovation, dedication, and intelligence to lead for unity of all Americans.
5. I’m ready for Obamanomics! MADE IN THE USA
Please Help Me to Make a Difference NOT make these types of offensive comments!
May 14th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Obama’s “religion” is a sham. Black Liberation theory is nothing but a lame attempt to hijack christianity by 60’s-era marxists who realized that the American people weren’t falling propaganda.
The work of God has very little to do with what “Reverend” Wright spewed about every Sunday morning. It is entirely filled by exhortations against “whites”, capitalism and the enemies of marxism, ie the United States.
As for the bible scholars here, ask yourself what Jesus did in the Temple. The work of the Lord isn’t performing works per Obama’s false prophesy, as we are born in sin and only thru the grace of God are we saved. The work of the Lord is turning other souls to Salvation, not socialized healthcare, on-demand abortions, getting “whitey” or fairness taxes on the wealthy.
For the Obamabots, a true christian would oppose a bill which required medical personnel to render assistance to babies who survived an abortion alive? No even Planned Parenthood is that brazen.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
For those who claim Obama is a Christian, you must understand what the bible (the only source for the definition of New Testament Christianity) says is required.
You must hear, believe, repent, confess and be baptized.
The “Sinners prayer” is never mentioned.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost people of Israel in fulfillment of scripture.
Denomenationalism and modern Christianity labels are not found anywhere in the bible and are predicted. (Forbidding marriage, forbidding eating of meats, calling men Father”.
So stop calling people Christians when they have done nothing according to God’s will and are not obedient.
There is no such thing as an unrepentant Christian, that person is lost.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Marie - Christian compassion does not include embracing someone who uses the power of the government to encourage people to commit crimes against humanity in the name of “women’s rights”.
In fact if you really are a Christian you should stand up for the rights of the helpless children who are being slaughtered in the womb. A heinous act if there ever was one. That standing up includes telling Obama or Clinton or anyones else that what they are doing is wrong.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Well, I guess Barak is joining all of us bitter people who cling to our faith. This man just continues to insult people on so many levels. He just doesn’t get it!
May 14th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
In my humble opinion, this ad is not going to help Senator Obama get any votes from many Catholics and some Protestants who are members of conservative denominations. He has voted against the partial birth abortion ban (very sad).
May 14th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
For those who believe that at the moment of conception we become a “baby” or “child” then Obama and HRC are noth their choice. Many Christians do NOt share this extremist view; for example, i am deeply troubled by the GOPs platform calling for no abortions, even in cases of rape or incest. This policy seems as anti-Christian and “abortion on demand”.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Sorry, I meant to say “This policy seems as anti-Christian AS “abortion on demandâ€?”.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Mary–have you met someone who had their house forclodsed on? I have, and “biiter” doesnt begin to describe their feelings
May 14th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
It’s scary to me, as a Christian, that so many commenters on here feel free to say who does or doesn’t pass the test as a Christian. And it also scares me that so many people argue that criticizing the government is somehow not Christian! Anyone who says that the way the US government treats our elderly, our sick, or our porr is what Jesus Christ calls us to do is committing blasphemy, in my opinion. We know what Christ calls us to do, and America is of course a great country, but it’s not conducting itself in a way pleasing to God 100% of the time.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Obama is a Christian like Hillary is a duck-hunter. Is it far-fetched that both candidates
find rural, blue collar white people sort of… what’s the word I’m looking for? Wait, it’ll come to me. Yes, I’ve got it- stupid?
May 14th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
“I consider myself fairly religious (I’m LDS…not to be confused with FLDS), but this stuff is a total turnoff to me. I don’t care if he’s accepted Jesus into his life. I want to know how he’s going to fix our economic problems…and more taxes isn’t the answer.”
Ok, so he shouldn’t let Americans know where he stands on ALL issues? Hell, John McCain won’t even discuss his religion, which makes me believe he is embarrassed or really an atheist. And if I remember correctly, GW talked about God and went after the Evangelical vote but left the Evangelicals out in the cold and he is definitely a disgrace to the American people. This President has helped to kill and maim more than he has helped, so was he really doing God’s work? Did GW deserve the Evangelical vote? If you think that continuing the War in Iraq and continuing the current tax cuts for the rich are helping you, look around buddy, the country is in financial trouble. LOL, but hey let’s keep the tax cuts for the RICH, even though you are probably middle class. Barrack actually wants to tax the rich a little more and give the middle class folks a tax cut, help with college cost, and take care of the veterans that George Bush used and abused and refuses to help with college. Do some research buddy. John and Cindy McCain are the ELITIST (heir to a Beer distribution company worth over $100 million) not Barrack Obama!
May 14th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Wow. I am struck by the anger and vitriol coming from the readers on this website. I’d like to understand more about where this anger comes from. Ordinarily, I think of Christian voices as being hopeful and positive and peaceful. Can anyone help me understand this outright hostility toward a political candidate?
I must say, the voices here sound remarkably similar to the voices of Democrats in 2004. There was lots of vitriol but little positivity. Little hope. Little optimism. Lots of namecalling and judging, but few ideas. No wonder their candidate lost!
May 14th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Think of the movie “The Sting” …that’s what Obama the Rev.Wright, DAVID Axelrod and his band of Chicago thugs, ex-cons, slick misters and smoke and mirrors specialiest are about to pull off.
For years when the National Anthem is played it’s easy to see who respects and loves this country by noticing who’s shuffling around and not interested , won’t place their hand over their heart . Go to the National Archives in Washington DC to view the Three Most Important Documents in the Free World and notice who’s standing in line and who’s not in line ( no one that even favors Obama will be waiting). - ‘Cause we ’bout to put one over on ‘da Man’ .. den it bes pay-back time . Obama wants it both ways …keep one foot in the hood while flim-flaming Mr. Honkey. When Rev. Wright said Obama’s a politican …I’m a preacher…ment ‘throw me overboard for ‘the cause’ and i’ll see ‘ya in the oval office’ Bro… So step right up to the window ladies and gentlemen ( if you can no longer live with all that ‘White Guilt’) and place yur bets on the fast (talking) horse , but don’t take the time to peek into the back room ’cause David Axelrod will deny every thing and and accuse you of bring a racist, and Lord knows that will leave another mark.
Other than that may God continue to bless the greatest country on earth.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
What does Hillary think about abortion and homosexuality? Where’s her flag pin? What does she think about her husband’s adultery? Why did Bill invite all the black ministers he could think of (including Rev. Wright) to the White House for his moment of supposed atonement? You can choose your pastor and you can also choose your philandering husband.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
To #110 I HAPPEN NOT TO BE A RADICAL REPUBLICAN, AND I ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO LOOK AT ANYONE WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND PUT THEM UNDER A MICROSCOPE. I DO KNOW IF OTHER CANDIDATES HAD TIES TO INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SAID AND DONE THINGS SUCH AS BHO HAS, THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR POLITICAL CAREERS WASHED DOWN THE DRAIN. LETS SAY JOHN McCAIN OR HILLARY WENT TO A CHURCH AND THIER PASTOR HAD WENT TO GERMANY WITH DAVID DUKE, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?
May 14th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Why doesn’t everyone take a step back and think of the situation:
Obama:
-Hard working family man (ie. one wife)
-Voted for education benefits for veterans
-Donated over $150,000 to charity
-Made his tax returns public
Mccain:
-Admitted to an adulterous first marriage (ie. got caught cheating…moved to next wife)
-His second wife is a drug addict who admitted to stealing from her own workplace
-Voted against education benefits for veterans (called it too generous)
-Founding Member of the Keating Five (senators accused of corruption)
-Hiding all tax returns in wifes name
May 14th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
[...] In Kentucky, he is making a direct appeal to Evangelicals with flyers that mention his conversion experience and they highlight a big old cross. Remember Mike Huckabee’s supposed subliminal cross in his Christmas campaign ad? Well, the Obama campaign ditches the subliminal and goes for the in your face cross. Look at the flyer here. [...]
May 14th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
When Obama needed African American Cred he turned to Rev. Wright… when he needed Liberal Cred he turned to William Ayers… now he needs some Religous Cred so who better to turn to than Jesus?… But I wonder how he feels about school prayer?

Carl, Hillary’s resume of connections to “bad i ndividuals” is far longer than most people’s…and McCain (whom i like) has a very disturbing history as well…check out the “Keating 5″, for example
May 14th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
This is beautiful. We’ve waited so long for a Democrat who has some kind of clue on how to WIN.
That’s what all the right-wing haters are reacting to. A Democrat is finally claiming their proper label as the Christian party. Would Jesus wear a flag pin? Would Jesus reward the rich while cutting education funding, dismantling Head Start, VETOING HEALTH CARE FOR POOR CHILDREN?
And of course, would Jesus start a war with a country that was no threat to us?
Would Jesus use everyone’s anger and hatred to get his way- raising phony gay marriage and illegal immigration issues to obscure his other harmful policies?
Obama is a man whose works actually testify to a life that is guided by service and higher principles. He has a right to claim that his actions are informed by his faith.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Buddy (#13): You completely disgust me. You are bitter, uneducated and racist. West Virginia and Kentucky are two of the most uneducated, racist states in America. To call yourselves “down to earth” when so many voters in the two states admitted that race is why they wouldn’t vote for Obama goes to show just how insanely backward the two states are. I find it very telling that Clinton’s wheelhouse is the “uneducated” vote. I’m fairly certain that I don’t want the uneducated part of the population tasked with choosing who is best to run America.

You do have a right to examine the candidates under a microscope. You do have the right to not like someone based on what their pastor says. I am also not calling everyone on this place a radical Republican.

I DON’T DISAGREE WITH YOU!!!
May 14th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Wow, listen to all these very “Christian” comments. You’re all a sterling example of living your faith.
Are there any bigger hypocrites than “Christians In Name Only?”
You people are utterly idiotic and clueless.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Say what you will, I bet Obama wouldnt have made 2 of the most outgrageous Presidential mistakes of the last 2 occupants…
1) unlike Bill, I think he has enough respect for the Office to keep his pants zipped
2) unlike GW, I think he will not rush into a poorly planned war which will kill 1000’s of citizens and bankrupt the country
May 14th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
How sad to see the many uneducated people that post here.
Folks, you need to read & educate yourselves A lot more on the candidates rather than getting your education from talk radio & these right wing bobbleheads.
Obama’s been talking about his faith for months!
Where have you been? Well welcome back to reality.
Oh and by the way, Obama is not a muslim….LMAO

May 14th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
The idea that Barack Hussien Obama’s faith is so important to him yet he didn’t have the where withall to judge his pastors racist and repulsively unchristian actions is patently absurd. Not only do I call into question the idea of Obama being a real Christian whatsoever but I would go so far as to say that if he actually is then our Lord is looking and with fierce anger at the voting record of this counterfiet. America may judge Mr. Obama’s actions as presidential or not but heaven help him when he has to stand in front of the real judge when he is called to account.

For the record, Obama is not Muslim and did not take the oath of office on the Koran. Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison is the congressman who swore in on the Koran. Barack Obama is a Christian (supposedly), and he took the Oath of Office on a Bible. Look it up on Google.

LIke Obama says:
We need more prayer in government….hows that for supposed sepreation of church and state?
May 14th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
hey Ryan nice to know there are people like you who KNOW what the Lord sees as Christian…oh wait, its people like you who are responsible for the Inquisition, for burning “heretics”, and for slaughtering anyone who isnt your tyoe of believer…

Let’s be real…Abortion isn’t all bad, If GW Bush would have been terminated the world would be a better place!

This same flyer was available here in NC, among other flyers about his Christianity. It is a shame that he HAS to prove his Christianity due to rumors and slurs. I was raised to love all people and that a relationship with God was sacred and personal. I think that the Republicans better worry about how to keep thier seats rather than questions everyone else’s religious views.

The light on the bottom of the cross is burnt out.
So is this man’s chance of being POTUS, unless G-d has a sense of humor.

Not So Fast,
Are you kidding me? Of all the unbelievabe comments on this board, that is the most ignorant of all. I don’t care if you support GB or not.

How do Christians like Obama jusify the murder of the unborn?
May 14th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Obama doesn’t miss a trick. He leaves nothing to chance, not even which kind of mustard to use on his hamburgers to improve his image with voters.
As for mixing religion with poliics. His mentor and pattern–Saul Alinsky–promoted using partnerships with liberal christian churches to promote the political agenda of socialism. That’s what Reverend Wright’s church is all about. Do good works and sell political marxist political programs at the same time.
May 14th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Really? The questions behind Obama should not be about religion or his pastor. This guy is doing a great job at bringing much needed international credibility back to the American Table. He is working on uniting the spirit of America and Democracy in nations around the world that have been turned off by our current administration’s policies. Clinton is no better than the rest of them; she is looking for the best exit strategy for herself and just simply does not appeal to the international community. I am a registered republican and even i am getting tired of all of the bigotry talk and hate speak about Obama and his religion….Grow up and look at the BIG PICTURE. Once you get it fine tuned, vote Obama in 08!!!
May 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
John Edwards to endorse…..OBAMA!!!!!
OBAMA’08!
May 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Joe, I will answer my own question. No, it is not far-fetched; both Obama and
Clinton find rubes to be stupid and gullible. Of the two, Hillary certainly has more audacity,
after a career of being pro-gun control now talking like Pistol Packin’ Mama. After making,
with her philandering husband, $109 million during the last four years, accusing Obama of
being some tea party snob. But Obama, to his credit, got the memo from West Virginia. Skip the real
grown-up issues and get right to the hocus-pocus, and convince people he’s a Christian, not a Muslim. On the topic of religion, only McCain is being true to himself and not talking to people like they’re idiots. He practices no religion, and doesn’t try to deceive people about
it.

They justify it by caring about more important issues first aka the economy, foreign policy, the war, the falling dollar, better health care etc. I personally don’t agree with abortion but I recognize that there are more pressing issues.

Neither party can claim to be the “Christian” party. Quit the rhetoric, people. Christians are called to give to pay taxes, obey the law (those that don’t break God’s laws), and help the poor, sick, and defenseless. That means protect people who are born and also unborn fetuses (Latin word for “baby”, for all you folks who hide behind PC-lingo). Jesus Christ tells us to give. Christians should not expect the government to provide handouts to them. The best thing we can hope for is a government that will protect the innocent, free us from taxes, and allow/empower people to be able to help others, freely without government regulations. Whoever is elected, we need a government that provides defense, roads and supports the rule of law. We don’t need government to redistribute wealth — it’s our job to give !!! Those of you who are lazy and seeking the government to take care of you — you are not owed healthcare or jobs or anything. Rely on God, not the government.

andyK, I understand now. Anyone who doesn’t think like you is fascist. Funny thing is, I’ve done my homework on Barack because MSM doesn’t dare give the public the real story. (It would short circut their money train) I knew about TUCC back in December. Which then lead to Rezko, (Cesspool of Corruption trail) which lead to Auchi, (Oil for food scandle that rocked european politics) which lead to Farrahkan and on and on and on. Capone politics, that’s what Barack is about. No one sits in a church that spews heavy doses anti-american, anti-white, anti-jew rants and then ever so politly calls themselves a christian. I respectfully ask that you refrain from insulting my intelligence. Simply present some perspectives and let people decide for themselves. No need to call people names.
May 14th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
More pressing issues than an unborn child?
Wow!!!
Thank God for my three kids!
May 14th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I’m still not sure why everybody is harping on his middle name, “Hussein.” Honestly, how many of you got to pick any part of your name?!
May 14th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
OO.ok, how do they justify the $300 million in tax dollars that go to support abortion?
May 14th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
I concur buddy. It’s like whatever happened to the individual thinkers? The people that used their heads & educated themselves. Instead, they live by labels while throwing bombs by getting their EDGE-U-MAH-CATION from everything they read on the “INTERNETS” LOLOLOLO
Cracks me up.
THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME A BRAIN TO THINK WITH!
BY THE WAY, THIS COMES FROM A REPUBLICAN REGISTERED VOTER
WHOSE DECIDED TO THINK FOR HIMSELF.
Obama In 08 “Yes We Can & Will”
AND PROUD TO CALL MYSELF AMERICAN!!!
For those that live by labels & can’t think for yourselves,
IE: WV Your ship is waiting.
Destination: A Country with a Dictator. There you can live by all
