Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Below is an email I got regarding some "quotes" from Obama's books, particularly the last one "The Audacity of Hope", one of which is making him sound like one of the Taliban. This is a very dangerous rumour to be circulating and could really hurt Sen. Obama. I found two links that refute this ridiculous nonsense, but, I'm sure there will be TONS more of this going around for the next 7 days so please forward this and the links to EVERYONE you know, especially all the republicans. The links are below the lying email. From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.' And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!! From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' * If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you are Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread the word - ___________ Here is the link to snopes that provides the ACTUAL text from the book that explains clearly what Obama meant; the explanation is toward the bottom. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ownwords.asp This is a NON partisan site dedicated to these things (regarding the very same "quotes" you sent) - the info on the particularly offending one is also at the botttom. Some of these "quotes" aren't even in the book! Pure manifestations of a desperate, bitter and dangerous party. http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-books.htm STAPLES supports this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
