And I do recognize that his acceptance speech was a historic moment in this country.....................and I do recognize the fact that democrats pushed this man to where he is because he is black.

I don't think there are any strategists who realistically believe that you can tear down Obama through negative association. I'm not saying he does not have weaknesses - but I don't believe you can say he is what someone else says or does. Rev. Wright, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson - who cares anymore? They were marginalized to the wastebin of history last night.

in the contxt of the thread I started, I was referring to what Obama said about Imus. To me, a clear example of hipocracy, drawn down racial lines. The response from the Obama supporters was that its different for blacks and whites and thats why i brought Sharpton into the mix |

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Rev. Wright are loose canons accountable to no one other than themselves.
Imus, by contast, was accountable to Corporate America - NBC and it's advertisers, specifically. He knew there was a line, and as a veteran radio personality, he should have known what you can get away with and what you can't.
