the further explanation was not verbatim, but summed up his conclusions nicely.

ami may NOT be a racist, but that probably depends on whether rush defines himself as one.

he claims not, but then spends half his air time trying to scare his listeners about how racist all the black, foreign and gay folk out there are. hmmm...

conclusion;;; rush doesn't care about the colour of THEIR skin but he needs you to be VERY AFRAID that they care about the colour of YOURS (if you're white).

Why can't the talking heads use real issues? there are certainly plenty of them.

Real issues....

Interesting in the light of the concerns I have seen presented that I don`t perceive as an election "issue"

But, hey, perception, perception, perception.

All I have to say is thanks for the vote of confidence Node.
AQ, any gripes about my mod style, tell me about it.
Sooner or later Ami Anne , it was gonna bite your butt and AG, I owe you a big thanks & an e mail.

Oh and I don`t like Rush and wouldn`t listen to him if paid to.

And back then ( and now to me )Kenya did sound exotic, at least to me being a country girl and as far from Harvard as one can get.

If he was born in Kenya, he lied to become President. If he was not born in Kenya, he lied for one of the above reasons.

I think the news media is washing their hands of him.If not, it would not have come out. His transcripts have NEVER come out. Not yet, anyway.

When they do, he will be gone imho

no randall, listening to rush is just for firsthand info on what people are listening to. he is transparently bent on transforming facts into his version of paranoia....perhaps you listened too much. while the general premise he pushes DOES make sense, it is only if you don't look beneath the glossy surface. the man is grasping at straws to twist any actual fact that comes his way into a version that will PROVE (kind of like jwhop thinks he proves things) that the intent was to enchain the white male population in some kind of vendetta. this is karmic fear, of retribution, and it is all over the airwaves courtesy of the bigger pockets of his boss...

as to you "accepting" me on "your side" such a statement proves to me you have no idea what i have been talking about! i do give obama the benefit of the doubt because i appreciate people who can keep some perspective, but the problem is not only in the white house, as some would like to believe or at least convince others of.

all i want is a congress who do their job and not the bidding of lobbyists, who can see past the "perks" to actually legislating, a president who does the same, and a supreme court who do NOT legislate from the bench.

several of the conservatives here admit they were liberals when younger, till they "saw the light" (started listening to rush?) but i would have fit more in the conservative, small gov camp when younger. i still don't want stifling regulations and rules, but i have come to see that if big business is not regulated there IS NO FREE MARKET. it gets sewn up by the big-bigger-biggest. there's a chart on the net that shows exactly how many companies own pretty much every product most people buy, there are only a handful of them. what is free about this market?

also the world has changed. countries are coming up and going down all the time, we have global awareness and trade, and sorry, trying to run in place forever is a self-defeating race.

and now we have a presidential hopeful who thinks REAL ESTATE should be grabbed up by the biggest investors too...how wonderful a world, where a couple of companies own our food, water, power and housing...NOT.

i had a single cover once that was meant to be black on white (the song was "paint it black" for crying out loud) and the art department received a proof with instructions but thought blue would be less scary, or more inviting, whatever, so they printed up thousands of copies in blue and white. THAT was glaring, but the effort to get it redone was so great it took weeks to complete. a single is a flash in the pan, which means MOST of the copies bought were blue and white.

this is the most logical, everyday explanation for the BIG PROBLEM of someone claiming obama was born in kenya, rather than from kenyan stock.

I told you that I used to think like you in some ways, but not in many, as my background is very different but I do understand Liberals as I was one.

i see a lot of assumptions here, randall is "clear" that obama had no trouble being considered african, you are "clear" that you know my background,

and that there are only a couple of POSSIBLE explanations for this very important mystery...only others have been suggested, so i guess there might even be MORE possibilities NONE of us has considered.

You keep listening to Rush, Kat, and you will finally see the light. I used to watch the Rush tv show to make fun of him. Finally, I could no longer ignore the mountain of facts he presented right out of the mouth of President Clinton himself in video. I had assumed global warming was true and all of the other liberal nonsense. But thanks to Rush, I began to question and to think independently. We will gladly accept you on our side, Kat. Just keep listening to Rush. "Rush is right" should be your daily mantra.

---

I know Kat's already addressed this, but Kat's listening to Rush is a perfect example of what I was counseling Ami on in the other thread. Kat pays attention to sources in spite of their origin. She doesn't shut out information simply because it comes from someone on the Right. By doing this, she exposes herself to a wider field of input, and is able to think and speak about things more coherently. Clearly she is beholden to no particular talking head, and thinks for herself. Kudos.
