Right on! Did you see Fox and Friends yesterday??? lol, Epic failure on their account..

First, what kind of person are you, exactly?
And second, careful with your rhetoric. The part I bolded, yeah I'd hesitate before using words like that so hastily. Words like that carry a context and a history.
Oh and so far your rhetoric and style of arguing pretty much exactly mirrors the style I see so often on the 24 hour news networks and whatnot, assert false premises then quickly start the argument on the conclusion. Simply put, we are arguing here about a conclusion while we have not yet agreed on the premises, and therefore will not only never reach a conclusion, but both sides will inevitably end up looking like dicks.
And I admit I haven't been following this issue that tightly. So far from some quick looking it seems like the main argument for the church being racist is that if you replaced 'black' with 'white' in the doctrine, it would be racist. Is that the only argument for calling it racist or are there other factors?

nbc, abc, cnn, all affiliates of those are biased liberal media. nbc reporters are on record as favoring obama. why do you think obama received preferential treatment? could it be a coincidence that he is the most liberal and the media just happens to pamper him?? and again you haven't 'discussed' anything. another epic failure

yeah that's a pretty big argument actually because it points out the double standard and shows that sympathizers obviously play a role. when blacks call on a white for racism, there is unity and also you will notice that there are whites who come to their defence as well. however, when a white calls on a black for racism like in this case, there isn't solidarity because many whites believe racism goes only one way, they feel guilty, or they refuse to believe that racism could actually happen against their race. the double standard has already been shown in other ways with the likes of al sharpton, who is on record for saying many anti semetic things, calling on don imus and serving as the voice of black people. his own racism and prejudice is forgotten.
and as far as not proving anything you are wrong. before obama's race speech which was bull by the way, i was in here saying obama belonged to a racist church and was also a liar. the point about him being a liar has been proven THERE IS NO DEBATING. he is on record as saying he never heard those things from his pastor, then he says he has. <- (that's a lie for those who don't know) he belonged to the church for 20 years!!!!!

apparently you can't read. if a white person cannot do the same thing a black person can then it is racist. did you know that the liberal media was questioning ron paul for donations received from white supremecists? the same media failed to investigate obama's endorsement from the black panther party, or his affiliations with louis farrakhan who he has never denounced fully. not racist enough for you or do you refuse to see it?

O noez! Obama is going to enslave all us white people!

Apparently you think there's absolutely no difference between people of different races. That is NOT the definition of racism. This is exactly what I'm talking about, instead of fully addressing my point, you quickly respond with a half response half attack, then raise several other issues trying to draw the conversation away from the things you do not wish to discuss. Saying there is no difference between different races is simply naive, as well as saying that an African-American group is inherently racist.

Plenty of people hate Al Sharpton. Including liberals (like myself), and blacks.

Obama is not the most liberal senator in the United States Senate. In fact, if that is what you were aiming at, then it is clear you get your news from right-wing think boats because the 'study' that showed Obama was being the most liberal was a hit piece.
Sorry sports fans, I think we may have to put sean5 on the back burner of ignore.

How is there this little election news being covered by the mass media right now?
:conf:
I swear, the series of spectacles that is the U.S. presidential election cycle every four years gets worse and worse each go round. It's basically a bunch of nonsense bull insults that culminate in some large primary/caucus/election and then nothing until it's time to rally the few troops that will actually head out to the polls.
:mad:
ing suckfest convention going on here.

Well Rob, I'll you an anecdote my Prof. at Stanford Law told me in my final year.
"Tony, you need to be responsible. If you didn't have to pay for an abbortion every fifteen minutes, you could afford to take your girl out for nice dinner once in a while."
