These people are killing me. Allahpundit, on Obama’s rejection of Wright’s “offensive” remarks:

That’s a nice, lawyerly dodge. Is he suggesting that in 20 years’ time he never heard Wright say anything along these lines? Or is he merely suggesting that he was never personally in attendance when Wright said it, as if that would matter remotely to his decision to stay with the church once he heard about it secondhand? Note how he limits the scope of the matter, too, to only the statements Fox and ABC discovered in going through tapes of Wright’s sermons. That’s not the issue; the issue is whether Wright has a habit of spitting poison like this and whether Obama was happy enough to let him do it so long as there weren’t political consequences. If the media starts going through old sermons week by week, with new and ever more nuanced conspiracy theories emerging periodically, is he going to roll out weekly statements to the effect of, “Nope, never personally heard him say that, or that, or that either”?

No, you douchebag, he is stating he condemns the remarks in question and doesn’t always agree with his pastor. I heard my cab driver say “nigger” a month ago. I guess that means I am racist, right?

These stupid fucking wankers are driving me insane. I guess now we need to sift through the political views of everyone’s minister and find out if they are acceptable and “patriotic” enough for the Allahpundit.

PS- There is no such thing as god, you fairy tale believing morons.

PPS- Can you jackasses stop pretending he is Muslim now that you are denouncing his Christian minister?

*** Update ***

Reliably, yet given the high bar for stupidity set by Allahpundit, somewhat unbelievably, Dan Riehl ups the ante:

Also, if that’s the case and Obama is a disciple of Wrights, exactly what type of change does Obama have in mind when it comes to race relations in America? The church also celebrates Kwanzaa. I wonder, is this something Obama intends to continue if he’s elected president? His holiday cards are pretty generic … for a committed Christian.

ZOMG, if Barack HUSSEIN Obama is elected President the Holiday cards might be generic. That is it. I am switching my vote to Hitlery, whose Christmas cards will certainly be full of Christian flair.

Is this like EdTV or that other movie where a man’s life was filmed without his knowledge? Am I secretly being filmed as I am driven into madness by these morons? Is that what is going on? Someone please make it stop.

*** Update #2 ***

Not to be outdone in the rightwing blogosphere push for total lunacy, the Confederate Wanker (via Tbogg) chimes in:

Not only am I certain Barack Obama is unfit to run this nation, I now question his ability to raise his own children, for the hatred he has willingly exposed them to since their births.

If there is a bigger set of douchebags on the internet than Dan Riehl and Bob Owens, I am afraid to read them.

Is to say so many stupid and offensive things that they just wear me down and I give up and start drinking. Today’s installment, courtesy of Mona Charen:

I am coming to believe that Barack Obama is one of the greatest con artists we’ve seen. His entire campaign has been about “coming together,” a post-racial consensus, etc. Any mention of his middle name was immediately condemned as ignorant fear-mongering. He has played the role of racial unifier with great skill and finesse.

But there is a great deal of evidence out there that he is anything but. The Reverend Wright is exhibit A. Mrs. Obama is Exhibit B. But there’s lots more.

My own theory, FWIW, is that Obama acquired his far left views at least in part to make himself as authentically black as he could to compensate for having a white mother. His mother, of course, was very left herself. But looking the way he does, and having been raised among only white people (mother and maternal grandparents) he felt the need to better identify with his black heritage.

FWIW, if you combine the names Mona and Charen and replace one vowel you come up with the word Moran.
