Obama Wanted Imus Fired
By now most everyone has heard at least a little of the wildly over-the-top Caucasian-bashing from Barack Obama's mentor Jeremiah Wright. But have you heard that less than a year ago, Obama was demanding the cringingly apologetic Don Imus' head on a platter for saying "nappy-headed hos"?
No one accuses Imus of having any actual animus toward blacks, whereas Reverend Wright's hatred of Caucasians is the cornerstone of the warped theology he preaches to America-loathing, racist bobbleheads like Barack Obama. And yet, from last April 11:
In an interview with ABC News Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., called for the firing of talk radio host Don Imus. Obama said he would never again appear on Imus' show, which is broadcast on CBS Radio and MSNBC television.
"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."
Obama said he appeared once on Imus' show two years ago, and "I have no intention of returning."
Nonetheless he had no problem returning to Reverend Wrong's church of racist rants — for 20 years.
As you may have noticed, tolerance is a one-way street.

You see, Imus isnt black. In the black community there are different rules for black and whites. Not even liberal whites like Imus can break these rules when blacks are the ones slighted. Geraldine Ferraro is an example of this. Though because she is a white WOMAN she is treated less harshly than Imus who is a WHITE MAN - the evilest thing on Earth - according to the black community.

Love these quotes from black ministers - they basically say Wright is expressing "righteous black anger". Unreal. I guess because Im Italian and my grandparents were called WOPS, discriminated against in the 1910s and 1920s and given the suckiest jobs I should express my righteous Italian anger? Oh please.

There's a world of difference between saying something stupid and insulting (Imus) and having a hateful, supremacist ideology (rev White).
But hey, it's easy to condemn Imus and go to bed feeling all smug and self-satisfied.
Taking on people like Rev. White and Islamic supremacists is difficult and risky thanks to people (moonbats) who can't tell the difference between race, religion, and political ideology.

As an Italian Ameican, I demand reparations!!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Italianism
"During World War II, thousands of Italian Americans as well as thousands of Italian Canadians were put in internment camps on American and Canadian soil, along with Japanese Americans. Thousands more were placed under surveillance or had their property repossessed by the government. Joe DiMaggio's father, who lived in San Francisco, had his boat and house confiscated. One official stated that if it had not been for Joe DiMaggio's status as a celebrity baseball player, his father would most likely have been sent to an internment camp. Countless Italian owned businesses in North America were vandalised and boycotted during this period. Many of Italian origin were phyisically assaulted and intimidated. Unlike the Japanese Americans, Italian Americans and Italian Canadians have never received reparations, even though President Bill Clinton made a public declaration admitting the US government's misjudgement in the internment. [16]"
Dammit! I want my CASH! And I want it NOW !! LOL!

Holy Crap, General!
You've got a good argument. I'm a Czech-American and I want lots of Euros from the Krauts for what they did AFTER my family had left their homeland for the U.S. and Canada. And I want lots of money from everyone because my name is hard to pronounce making me always the last one called! It's discrimination and why shouldn't I be able to turn it into a profitable industry?!

Hey, while we're at it, how about a "right to return" for East Prussians! All they did was launch a war of annihilation in Eastern Europe - and lost. Naturally they became impoverished refugees living in camps in western parts of Germany and elsewhere because they're been disposessed and oppressed by an illegal occupation by Poles, Russians and Lithuanians. Oh the horror.
Oh wait, I think they accepted defeat and moved on and got jobs. Nevermind.
Here's some funny reading:

Hey, this is funny. I made it up.
Let's call Imus a "crappy headed Moor", get it?
That'll get the douchebags riled up.

Gretta missed playing the racial slurs about Italians and Jews on her show tonight to Rev Al Sharpton. Italians are FURIOUS, Rev. Wright said we were rich white people who killed Jesus? And how "Israel" is a dirty word. THESE are perhaps the WORST racial depictions of slurs, not to mention Italians did not exist in Rome until at least 500 years AFTER Jesus. And not to mention most Italians do not have "white" skin.
My rich, white, Italian family?

On behalf of Italians and Jews fuming over this, thank you for your attention in this matter.

MoniQue, thanks for putting up the links. I think you will agree, much of Mr. Wright's retoric from the pulpit is quite insane. What many people are missing on this issue, IMHO, is the fact that over the course of 20 years of listening to one minister, people's heart and brain becomes like a sponge and they take much of what is said in, and much of it becomes a part of them! It's a dynamic that is even true in college classrooms. Exposure to instructors and teachers over time contributes to who you become after graduation. Add to that Obama saying first he never heard any of that from the pews and then 5 days later... yes, he did hear it... I now don't believe him on any of it.
God bless you and your family.
