March 17. 2008
If there's one lesson that has been abundantly clear from the fall of public figures over the last few years -- Bill Clinton, Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro, Eliot Spitzer, Mike Vick, Alberto Gonzales, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera -- it is that the bad deed is not what does in the person who commits it; rather, it is the persistent lying about it that does.
Barack Obama's continued pathetic attempts to spin (read: lie about) the situation regarding his involvement with Jeremiah Wright's black-separatist megachurch shows that he, like all of those listed above and so many more, is afflicted with the same elitist mindset that drove the others to maintain that they were innocent of those things which they were rightly accused of.
"Those other guys got caught, but they'll never catch me"--or some variant thereof -- seems to drive these elitist jackasses to deny, deny, deny in the face of all evidence and logic. Somehow, they will be the ones who don't get caught, despite the fact that history shows they will, sooner or later, have to pay the piper in some form or another.
In this case, Barack Obama is spinning like a top trying to marginalize his association with the pastor of his church. The fact that this pastor, Jeremiah Wright, was chosen by Barack and Michelle to officiate their wedding and to baptize one of their children, and served as the inspiration for the title of Obama's autobiography is making that feat a little bit tougher than Barack "The H is for Hope, not Hussein!" Obama might wish. But don't worry -- Obama is convinced enough of your stupidity and of his superiority that he'll keep spinning and lying until he has talked himself into a corner from which there is no escape.
Obama now has surrogates like Dick Durbin (D -- of course -- IL) out spreading incredibly weak lies on his behalf. For example, Durbin is apparently arguing that Wright made most of these "controversial" (only to White Republican Racists, of course!) statements and comments long before Barack ever started coming to the church. (The other argument, as made to this point by Obama and some of his other surrogates, has been that he was conveniently absent from the building on the days that the firebrand, racist, bigoted pastor gave so many of his racist, bigoted sermons -- and that he never once heard about them from any of the tens of thousands of members.)
Now, it takes an ego the size of a mountain -- and faith that your countrymen are mind-blowingly stupread
