“Come To Where The Grievance Is, Come To Obama Country”

If ever there was ample wealth of evidence of the vitriol of Senator Barack Obama’s supporters, see Crush the Obamedia narrative: Look who’s “gripped by insane rage.” This goes beyond disrespect, for it appears there is a very personal agenda on behalf of Obama. Just one of many examples. Far worse here.

In Issue of Race Creeps Into Campaign at the Washington Post via Newsbusters‘s “Congressman Compared McCain with George Wallace, Birmingham Church Bombers,” we see the following.
Yesterday, civil rights leader John Lewis, a Democratic congressman from Georgia, became the latest advocate to excite the racial debate, condemning Sen. John McCain for “sowing the seeds of hatred and division” and accusing the Republican nominee of potentially inciting violence.
In a provocative twist, Lewis drew a rhetorical line connecting McCain to the segregationist Alabama governor George Wallace, and through Wallace to the 1963 church bombing in Birmingham that killed four girls. McCain voiced outrage at the comments, which also drew a mild rebuke from an aide to Sen. Barack Obama.
Obama has typically let others work on race issues for him.
He has mostly avoided the topic since, handing off to a network of friends, including Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell and Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, the task of talking directly to their constituencies about electing a black president.
Kudos to McCain for maintaining dignity in the face of blatant race baiting.
“Congressman John Lewis’ comments represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that is shocking and beyond the pale,” McCain said. “The notion that legitimate criticism of Senator Obama’s record and positions could be compared to Governor George Wallace, his segregationist policies and the violence he provoked is unacceptable and has no place in this campaign.”
McCain continued, saying “I am saddened that John Lewis, a man I’ve always admired, would make such a brazen and baseless attack on my character and the character of the thousands of hardworking Americans who come to our events to cheer for the kind of reform that will put America on the right track.”
“I call on Senator Obama to immediately and personally repudiate these outrageous and divisive comments that are so clearly designed to shut down debate 24 days before the election. Our country must return to the important debate about the path forward for America.”
And surprise that Obama and his supporters repeatedly dismiss Obama’s own request and plan.
“As Barack Obama has said himself, the last thing we need from either party is the kind of angry, divisive rhetoric that tears us apart at a time of crisis when we desperately need to come together. That is the kind of campaign Senator Obama will continue to run in the weeks ahead,”
And sad that McCain has held Lewis in such esteem.
“I did not know Dr King,” McCain said. “But I know John Lewis, and I know what he represents. And John Lewis and I may disagree on some issues, but that’s the kind of person I think are true American heroes.”
In August, while appearing at a forum on faith, McCain was asked to name three “wise people” he would listen to. He cited Lewis as well as Gen. David Petreaus, head of U.S. troops in Iraq, and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, a top adviser to his campaign.
Obama. Race bait for sale.”

And more from Wake Up Americans, Uppity Woman, McNorman, as well as Lynette Long. These Obama supporters are REAL proud of themselves. Who says they don’t wear their hateful feelings on their shirts, and stand tall and proud for their man, Obama?!? Obama must be ever so proud!
