Interesting stuff but the timing of the lawsuit just seems a little too convenient. If that dude is right then yeah he should be disqualified though.
edit: If this were the case wouldn't the Clinton's have exposed it already when running for the nomination? Just putting that out there for thought...
On that other video I'd like to pick a lot of it apart but I have to go to work. One of my thought's are why does somebody have to be proud of America to love it with all their heart and want to do everything they think they should to make it better? Blind patriotism is scary as shit. We live in America so we should just be proud of it by default? Japanese internment, the attempted genocide of native americans with smallpox, our constant war mongering around the world the last 60 years while preaching peace and disarmament to name a few?
I had a lot more here but I deleted it, just thought I'd throw this out there for discussion not trying to piss on anyone.

i am not 100% sure on the second vid either...
but the 1st vid throws some good obvious stuff out there

Gotta give him credit for NOT changing his name (like many politicians do)...only about 30 seconds in so far.

His father was raised muslim, but most say he was agnostic/atheist as he grew older...and he was out of Obama's life by the age of 2. I don't remember shit from age 2.
Voting present is a common thing between both him and McCain...doesn't make it right for either.
As for the flag...it was in one office in Houston staffed by volunteers, not his official office. Unfortunately this will undoubtedly cause concern amongst some people. If the word came in that Obama himself ordered it put there, then I get concerned. As of now I am not.
Who cares about the pin? I've never worn one...McCain doesn't always wear his anymore either IIRC. Big deal.
Hand over heart...he was caught not doing it during the National Anthem....once. Big oops for sure, but how many of you place your hand over your heart when the National Anthem is sung? I was taught growing up to place both hands behind my back (which is apparently wrong as well....according to flag code...but both parties completely forget about flag code from time to time)
Church...been gone over 1000 times... doesn't bother me....distanced himself... How many of you are going to say "God Damn America just voted in a Nigger for president?" I'm betting there will be more than one of you.. Anyway...5 mins of "anti-american" words in 20 years, I hear more racism on a daily basis...Obama fired him from his advisory team...much like he suggested Imus be fired from MSNBC. Wright is not Obama. That is all.
Black Liberation Theology according to Cone (as mentioned in the interview)
Wikipedia...yeah, it's wikipedia, but it explained it better than I can wrote:
James Cone and Black Liberation TheologyIn the minds of many African-Americans, Christianity was long associated with slavery and segregation.[2] Although Southern Baptists had condemned racism in the past, it was not until June 20, 1995 that the Southern Baptist Convention adopted a formal "Declaration of Repentance". This resolution declared that they "unwaveringly denounce racism, in all its forms, as deplorable sin" and "lament and repudiate historic acts of evil such as slavery from which we continue to reap a bitter harvest." The convention offered an apology to all African-Americans for "condoning and/or perpetuating individual and systemic racism in our lifetime" and repentance for "racism of which we have been guilty, whether consciously or unconsciously. [3][4] Christianity was long associated with racism. Therefore, there must then be a dialogue regarding the implications of racism in today's society and to what extent historical factors affect the plight of the black community. Cone argues that, "About thirty years ago it was acceptable to lynch a black man by hanging him from a tree; but today whites destroy him by crowding him into a ghetto and letting filth and despair put the final touches on death."[5]
James Cone first addressed this theology after Malcolm X’s proclamation in the 1950's against Christianity being taught as "a white man’s religion".[6]According to Black religion expert Jonathan Walton:
"James Cone believed that the New Testament revealed Jesus as one who identified with those suffering under oppression, the socially marginalized and the cultural outcasts. And since the socially constructed categories of race in America (i.e., whiteness and blackness) had come to culturally signify dominance (whiteness) and oppression (blackness), from a theological perspective, Cone argued that Jesus reveals himself as black in order to disrupt and dismantle white oppression."[7]Black theology deals primarily with the African-American community, to make Christianity real for blacks. It explains Christianity as a matter of liberation here and now, rather than in an afterlife. <u>The goal of black theology is not for special treatment. Instead, "All Black theologians are asking for is for freedom and justice. No more, and no less.</u> In asking for this, the Black theologians, turn to scripture as the sanction for their demand. The Psalmist writes for instance, 'If God is going to see righteousness established in the land, he himself must be particularly active as 'the helper of the fatherless' [8] to 'deliver the needy when he crieth; and the poor that hath no helper.'[9]"[10]
Wife....misspoken statement...we all misspeak.
What is wrong w/ sitting down with people to try and prevent war? I'm all for it. If we can prevent a war by coming to an understanding, great! If we go to war anyway, well, at least we tried to prevent it.
