As usual, I have a completely unconventional perspective on the silly Jeremiah
Wright - Barack Obama "controversy." <br>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I do not, I
repeat, I <strong>do not</strong> find <strong>Rev. Jeremiah Wright</strong>
speaking truth to power as hateful, anti-White, anti-Semitic or offensive in
any way. So, Wright offended Rush Limbaugh? Anyone who "offends" that
big, fat, idiot can't be all bad. Thus, in my judgement, the new Democratic
liberal leadership <strong>failed </strong>their first test against the
Republican Noise Machine in 2008. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Do not waste your tears over Barack Obama's irrelevant
"race" speech. Weep, for the forgotten victims of Reagan-Bush
"conservatism" around the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h1><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">HALABJA, IRAN,
MARCH 1988</span></strong></font></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Twenty years before the current silly
"controversy," almost to the day, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
attacked the Kurds using chemical weapons. Clouds of poison gas swept through
the town, killing as many as 5,000 people. The Reagan "conservative"
administration offered Hussein financial credits. They provided Saddam with
battlefield intelligence. U.S. helicopters sold to Iraq in 1983 were used in
the attack.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Finally, after another wave of attacks in August 1988, the
US Senate passed legislation to end US financial support for Hussein and impose
sanctions. <strong>Colin Powell</strong>, then the national security adviser,
coordinated the Reagan administration's opposition. The "Great" <strong>Ronald
Reagan</strong>, <strong>Vice President Bush</strong>, <b>S<strong>ecretary of
State George Schultz</strong></b>, <strong>Colin Powell</strong> and all senior
aides supported war crimes for their "conservative' policy on Persian Gulf
Oil. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Obama's speech was touching but irrelevant. Fellow
Americans, <b>this election is <strong>Not</strong> about "race"</b>
no matter how many neurotic Black intellectuals say that it is. <b>This
election is about the cumulative evils of Reagan-Bush "conservatism."</b>
Democrats failed this first test against the Republican Noise Machine and
thanks to our gutless, clueless, race-obsessed "leaders", Reagan-Bush
fiends have, in effect, obtained a general amnesty for all their crimes. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The Halabja story is just one example of hundreds of evil
things done in our name by Reagan-Bush "conservatives" in
Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia, Chile, China, Columbia, Congo, Cuba, Egypt, El
Salvador, Fiji Islands, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia,
Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Mexico, Mozambique,
Nicaragua, Nigeria, Okinawa, Pakistan, Palestine, Panama, Philippines, Russia,
Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sudan, and Yugoslavia. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">. . .</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Thanks to our liberal Democratic losers, from now on all
Americans are to be judged collectively for the crimes of Reagan-Bush
"conservatives." From now on, all criticism of Reagan-Bush torture,
"rendition," atrocities, waterboarding, drug-dealing, war
profiteering and general gangsterism is deemed "anti-White."</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Mr. and Ms. Democrat: Are you prepared to be denounced as a
"race traitor" in November? Are you finally prepared to laugh in the
faces of the Reagan-Bush "conservative" demagogues? That is what you
must be prepared to do. . .</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
