In the Chicago Sun-Times on October 29, Andrew Greeley said that Barack Obama simply cannot beat racism to become president of the United States. He's consumed by all the talk of racism during this campaign and he sees it everywhere he turns. Of course, Greeley is right. There is a lot of talk of racism. But he isn't right about where it's coming from. You see, Greeley is claiming that racism is the sole reason that anyone wouldn't support Obama and he worries that racist talk is coming in torrents from Obama's opponents. The truth is, though, that the only people talking about racism is Obama and his most earnest supporters. People like Greeley.
Greeley and Obama's other supporters claim that anyone that opposes Obama is a racist. But the reality is that Obama's opponents are not talking much of or worried about the fact that Barack Obama is a black man. Obama's supporters, however, are acting just like the worst example of a McCarthyite in the respect that they see "racists" under their bed at night, around every corner, and in every dark closet. Greeley and his ilk see racists lurking everywhere... whether they exist or not.
In fact, in his fevered imagination, Greeley thinks that racists fill both parties and that they had marked Obama for destruction at the very outset saying that, "his rivals perceived that they had to destroy him." He marks the early battleground as the "haters on the Internet" and then claims that the Democrat Party itself took up the anti-Obama bigotry.
The next assault came from his fellow Democrats. He was too quick, too disciplined, too well-organized to disappear as he should have. Therefore the litany of contempt began. He lacked experience. He was not ready to be commander in chief. No one knew how he would act in time of crisis. He needed more seasoning. Others had worked for similar causes in the heat of the day. They were entitled. All he had ever done was give one good talk.
But, do you notice something odd abut the anti-Obama arguments that Greeley lists as coming from his own Party? Did you notice that not one of those reasons are race-based complaints? Inexperience is not inherently a racist charge. Neither is the "unknown" of how Obama will "act in time of crisis." Neither is the charge that Obama jumped ahead of the line of people patiently waiting for the Democratic nod and that had been around longer than he.
Greeley also lists what he thinks were the Republican's reasons for being anti-Obama.
If his opponent was going to do him in, he would have to attack Sen. Obama's character, a favorite strategy of Republicans for the last 20 years. He was a celebrity, as shallow as the pop tarts. His eloquence was phony. He was an extreme liberal, he was a socialist, he was a terrorist. He was a threat to the American way of life, he was not like the rest of us. He was not a patriotic American. In a time of crisis the country needed a proven, patriotic American.
Yet, again, Greeley seems to insist that this is all because of racism. In fact, one finds that few of the many negatives that Greeley claims folks heaped upon Obama are examples of obvious racism.
Yet, strangely, every single substantive reason that anyone would use to oppose Obama is ascribed firmly to racist intent as far as Greeley is concerned. Here's how Greeley sums up what he feels is the real intent behind each of the reasons he presented:
In other words, he faced the same race card that President Nixon played in 1972, only the card had another name now -- "experienced, patriotic, American."
So, every single reason offered to oppose Obama by Whites, Republicans, Hispanics, Democrats, women, men... they are ALL really mere racist epithets in disguise?
This is astonishing for its utter lack of reasoned reflection. Certainly there was opposition to Obama inside and outside the Democrat Party and, as to be expected, from the GOP. But, it obviously wasn't insurmountable and it was never based on race. There has been no real out-cry about Obama's race in any venue, in any debate, in any advertisement, in any legitimate political opposition.
Still, Greeley sees racism everywhere. He is fixated on it, fascinated by it. He is consumed by it as brilliantly as the light of all the suns in the universe. There is a medical word that describes someone who sees things that aren't there. You know what that word is, I'm sure.

Greely is NOT a man of God
October 30, 2008 - 06:45 ET by sentforth5Racism is a self- serving lust of the flesh.
On the Sixth day God YHVH created mankind,and behold, IT WAS VERY GOOD. He loves us and wonderously made us the way HE wanted us to be. Skin color is a petty human consideration that Our Father does not care for or delve into, and niether should anyone who dare be a representative of His Word. Greely is shameful and does not represent The Lord.

Anything less is just plain divisive and has no place in this country.
And well, of course, Obama is just so perfect, that the only possible reason anyone could have for voting against him is racism.
As Chris Matthews decreed, even saying that Obama has never had to do anything hard is a racist sentiment!
So every single reason for opposing Obama is a disguise for racism.

I can't believe that a Catholic priest would simply skip over Obama's radical anti-life agenda.
Although I don't know for sure, I wonder if Fr. Greeley will ignore that and vote for Obama to prove to himself that he's not a racist.

One number one reason for NOT voting for BO is his anti-life stance.

October 30, 2008 - 07:49 ET by Retired GeekWhy are we defending ourselves?
Why are we defending ourselves against charges of racism, coming from Barack Obama and his followers? Obama attended a racist church 23 years?
A church who made the writings of 'Racist James Cone' required reading for all new members.
"Whiteness, as revealed in the history of America, is the expression of what is wrong with man. It is a symbol of man's depravity. God cannot be white, even though white churches have portrayed him as white. When we look at what whiteness has done to the minds of men in this country, we can see clearly what the New Testament meant when it spoke of the principalities and powers."

A church that awarded 'Racist Louis Farrakhan' a lifetime achievment award.
"The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him." Farrakhan
"Six-thousand years ago, an evil wizard called Dr. Yacub created the white "race" in a genetic experiment." Farrakhan

A church based on the 'Black Value System' and 'Black Separatism'.

October 30, 2008 - 07:53 ET by dscottWell, there is another little problem with Father Greeley's line of argument. Everything he attributes to racism is equally true of Obama's sexism. Hillary Clinton was disqualified by Obama's supporters BECAUSE she was a FEMALE and the reason should be obvious. If every reason for voting against Obama is currently racist, then his sole qualification for running is his RACE by inference. If that is the case, then during the primaries Hillary Clinton's sole disqualification was her gender, unless you want to admit publicly it was BECAUSE she was WHITE. You can't have your cake and eat it too, Father Greeley.
BTW- Father, consider very carefully that sexism is equally repugnant as racism, so where is your denounciation of those who denigrate Sarah Palin BECAUSE she is a FEMALE. Or have you failed to notice that Joe Biden, a MALE, does not get anywhere near the negatism as Sarah Palin, a FEMALE.
Also, you like Father Pheleger presume to believe Obama and his supporters respect you for agreeing with their ideology, you are greatly mistaken. They hold you with equal contempt because you are white and represent a religion they view as oppressive. To them you are nothing more than a useful idiot whom they will tread down at the first opportunity just as the SS did with the SA in Hitler's time or as Stalin did with Trotsky. There can only be one, they don't share power, privledge or glory.

October 30, 2008 - 08:03 ET by jazzact13So, is Greeley putting a new spin on Freud? Just like Freud seemed to see sex in everything, Greeley seems to see racism everywhere.
So differences in political ideas and aims are not important to him, really? We should all just vote for Obama because of his race, right? If you don't vote for him, no matter your rationale or your political differences with him, you are by definition a racist?
Ok, now imagine people like Greeley having a Supreme Court majority.
Such arguments as Greeleys must be one sign of desperation. This pathetic attempt at manipulation cannot come from any confidence, but rather the fear that the one to whom they have tied their hopes is losing ground, and will come out on the short end when the votes are tallied.

Obama's Race a net positive
October 30, 2008 - 08:16 ET by Anchor89Beyond the almost unanamous support of African-Americans, Obama's race will be a net positive among white voters - particularly undecided white voters. Undecided white voters (ie voters who don't pay much attention to politics) are, on the balance, going to vote for Obama primarily because he is black. They will be doing so with the hope that this will, once and for all, put the "racist Amercia" charge behind us. Many people are simply tired of the whining and complaining that white people keep black people down. With a black person in the White House, many are hoping that those charges won't be made any more. Unfortunately, since too many people make their living on perpetuating racial division and the politics of victimhood in this country, it won't be ending any time soon. In addition, if an Obama Presidency does not go well, there might be a tendency to blame his race instead of his left-wing politics. If that happens, race relations in this country could end up getting much worse.
Let's face it people
October 30, 2008 - 09:18 ET by katiejaneLike children, liberals refuse to believe that anything can be their fault or the fault of their candidate. While many are very confident they are still setting up their excuse mantra if Obama loses. If they had to accpet that people didn't vote for Obama because they felt his policies were wrong for the country, or because he is all talk and has nothing to back it up, that would mean the libs had made a bad choice for candidate.
I imagine some on the Left are so entrenched in winning and getting back at Republicans that they don"t care about any doubts. They prefer to blame racism than admit that they ignored negative information . They've got their fingers in their ears going "nah, nah, I can't hear you" while their mouth is yelling "racism, racism."

October 30, 2008 - 11:28 ET by PrairieSkyare allowed to continue spewing their garbage. Aren't clergy supposed to be politically neutral, publicly?
This is a real sore spot with me...I am Catholic, and have had experience with a priest who didn't have the slightest problem in using the pulpit as a launching pad for his political theories and gripes. It got so bad, that attendance at Mass started dropping off, and some people actually left our parish for neighboring parishes. Fortunately this priest retired, and sure enough, people began returning to our parish.
Priests (and clergy in general) like Greeley are NOT men of God. They hide behind their collars and cassocks, assuming that no one will really attack them because they are members of the clergy. I have had it up to here with these types, and am so frustrated with, in this case, the Vatican, that seems to just sit by and do nothing of any substance to stop these people from abusing their positions as clergy by involving themselves in political discussions. Whether clergy are politically right or left is irrelevant. Members of the clergy should not be publicly opining on political issues, candidates or elections in general. Period.

October 30, 2008 - 12:28 ET by PrairieSky Members of the clergy should not be publicly opining on political issues, candidates or elections in general. Period.
We vote pro-life first, and I, for one, actually believe that Church leaders should provide Biblically based spiritual guidance. It was the IRS tax codes of the last century that destroyed a historical church endorsement relationship: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Regardless, this Fr. Greeley article is just another example of the moral equivolence drivel tolerated by the Chicago Archdiocese leadership. First, with Cardinal Cody, then Cardinal Bernadine, and now, Cardinal George. Continually tolerating such corrupt spewings from an endless parade of the Fr. Greeley and Fr. Flager types, harms the Catholic Church.
If Cardinal George fails to squelch Fr. Greeley after this one, the Chicago Archdiocese will again lose more of her youth. Our youth are not fooled by this blatant hypocrisy.
Cardinal George is in my prayers, that he'll eventually take out the trash, removing these heretics from the Church payroll.

And if I or anyone else is called a racist for not wanting this socialist wacko as CIC, then so be it. Call it. But you will feel the pain of losing our freedoms and I hope those who vote Obama choke on it.
Completely ridiculous!
October 30, 2008 - 12:50 ET by iiiireaderWhat is startling about this ridiculous position is that were Obama not a *black* man, he would not be the Democractic nominee at this point. A young, inexperienced white man would have been buried by Clinton during the primary season. Race has worked to Obama's favor so far and he is banking that it will land him in the White House.
I will never vote for a socialist - I won't be influenced by color or gender. It is simply a matter of principle. Put the right candidate in front of me, whose belief system is most closely aligned with mine and I will vote that person. I won't be looking at the color of their skin or checking under their clothes to see if they look like me - it is vitally more important that they think like me.
Racism
October 30, 2008 - 12:51 ET by cocodrieRacism is merely one form of prejudice. We are all prejudiced - " birds of a feather flock together". If a group of strangers are put in a closed area together they will naturally separate into smaller groups of their own kind; tradesmen, white collar, women, men, white, black, professional, etc. Our view of the world is greatly influenced by our prejudices and preferences. The left-wing extremists have tried to make this an evil thing. "O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh." - Matthew 12:34. The evil accusations of the left comes from their own hearts.

Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, etc., have every right to peacefully advance or defend their races in the privacy of the voting booth. So do whites. There are no PC voting criteria.
Obama, by his many associations, statements, and acts, really IS an enemy of the white race, which includes Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. If you feel guilty in that realization, then you have been "re-educated" by the propaganda of neo-communists like Ayers and Rathke, shills like Olbermann and Mathews, neo-columnists like Jonathan Alter and Denis Hamill, the public school system, RINO websites, etc.
Understand that Obama was indoctrinated in adolescence by the anti-white black racist communist Frank Davis, then he was mentored by the anti-white black racist Jeremiah Wright at his anti-white black racist church, then he became friends with anti-white black racist Muslims Louis Farakhan and Kenya's communist Raila Odinga. These are a few examples of Obama's anti-white black racist "roots." The last I checked, induction is still a method for finding truth. If it walks like a duck…. Read the above Obamafile, and you too will be convinced.
If the race of a nation's ruling class is overthrown, then that nation is overthrown, and the population is easily destroyed: Marxism 101. ACORN is, among other things, a black power, election fraud, neo-communist gang. Now go defend yourselves, and vote your race at the polls. It could be your last chance.

blinded by inversed racism
October 30, 2008 - 22:39 ET by vicmenPerhaps my upbringing has provided me a different perspective on race.
I am of spanish and italian ancestry, I look white to everybody. I was a blonde as a child and so are my children. Yet I am from a very eclectic and multi-racial family. My brother and sister are half black and I had never taken issue or notice of race until I was 15 years old. Perhaps this is because most persons of hispanic origin understand that many times looks can simply be deceiving. But blood runs through our veins, race is only skin deep. Though, I've never been asked, I can not tell you what it is like to be brought up in a multi-racial environment, the reason is because I was brought up in a family environment not a racial environment.
So it is with this unique understanding that I will submit to you that the "american black" is the most racially sensitive. I know first hand that blacks from most other countries agree to this view.
The democrats placate to this sensitivy for votes because they know they can count on black racism. Everyone and every race is inherently flawed in that we all exhibit some form of racism but it is a moral and intellectual fortitude that promotes tolerance.
That is why half of hispanics, identfy with conservatives and republicans regardless of immigration.
Whites in my opinion are the least racially motivated. So much so, that they are blind to inverse discrimination. Such as affirmative action and the hate crimes act that protects a "hung by the neck" white mannequin resembling palin as free speech.
Ask yourself, with 95% of blacks voting for Obama, is race not a factor? Oddly enough, it is this liberal democratic concept that tolerance has to be legislated, yet only for one race and sexual persuasion.
America is not racist, it is the complete Inverse! Crazy isnt it?
