Jeremy Lott has been duped by the audacious Barack Obama. Despite his disingenuous pabulum Obama is clearly a protege of vitriolic racist Jeremiah Wright -- even Democrats are starting to realize the "messiah" isn't all that he claims to be (Hillary is nicely positioned to seize the Democrat nomination from the Obamanation). As for Obama's mendacious speech on Tuesday Victor Davis Hanson effectively dissected its defense of African-American racism and it insipid message in a competing conservative journal.

If anything Mr. Lott reveals that too many conservatives are easily enamored with style over substance. It is reminiscent of 2006 when conservatives wanting to "punish" Republicans duped themselves into believing "blue dog" Democrats were "conservatives" and would miraculously move the radical Democrats to the right. There were outlandish declarations that the "blue dogs" would even enforce fiscal sanity on the party of tax and spend. Jim Webb and the last 2 years have proven just how gullible and foolish these conservatives were and in the case of those mesmerized by Obama still are.

The nation does owe Senator Obama a debt of thanks for revealing the insidious nature of the Religious Left and the vitriolic racism and hatred that emanates regularly from its pulpits. Obama's friend, patron, mentor and spiritual advisor would feel right at home in an extremist madrasah extolling the "virtues" of murdering innocent men, women and children. This fact goes a long way in explaining why Obama himself is sympathetic to genocidal dictators and Muslim terrorists. If one can get beyond the facile rhetoric they will find the "savior" is in fact a doctrinaire leftist and neo-Marxist of limited intellectual prowess.

p>Unlike Mr. Lott I don't have to hate Barack Obama to vote against him and Democrats. Simple reason long ago taught me to follow the example of Ronald Reagan and always vote a straight Republican ticket. Maybe Lott should stick to extolling the virtues of his father for President -- at least then he knows what he's writing about, because he's too easily hoodwinked by an old-time Chicago pol like Barack Obama. br> -- Michael Tomlinson br> Jacksonville, North Carolina /p>

The lucubrations of Dr. Lott display a significant shallowness that is running amok in the fifth estate! Meditations on the race card or post racial issues are overplayed and banal at this point. The politics of grievance have redounded in the favor of huge blocks of our African American class. This trajectory in hiring preferences and education admissions are at the expense of others.

p>Senator Obama knows truly nothing about the coarseness of impoverished, inner city life. He has had a pedigreed, well heeled existence to date. His "outing" of his grandmother on a national platform as having any equivalence with this vitriolic pastor of some non-church is reprehensible, Dr. Lott! if you want to indulge yourself, and you obviously are in need, of intelligence, right reason and unflappability on the struggles and successes of our black citizens in the twentieth century concern yourself with Dr. Thomas Sowell, not this empty suit Barack Obama! This article was drivel. br> -- Edward Del Colle /p>
