Big Hollywood : Madden NFL 11: Indoctrination, Obama Style

It's articles like this and the comments that follow that undermine conservative and tea party credibility. It is paranoia gone wild to believe that EA Sports is secretly promoting the White House agenda by including this minor portrayal in it's video game. It makes the writer and supportive commenters come across as loons and kooks. The movement needs to rid itself of this conspiratorial fringe.

Big Government : Video Proof: The NAACP Awards Racism–2010

As I stated, she acknowledges her failed thinking in the clip. She admits that she saw and acted along racial lines and that she was wrong. She should be commended for going before what I assume is a predominantly African-American audience challenging those that might have shared her backwards philosophy to think differently.

As for hating the rich, I cannot speak to anything beyond the content of the video. I think it would be unfair to say that those that advocate for the poor somehow hate the rich. I find it difficult to leap from advocacy for the lesser of our citizens to Marxist hatred for the rich.

The speaker in this video clearly states that in this experience with a white client she learned an important lesson. She goes on to say she learned it's not about black- white, but aiding the poor when the clip abruptly ends. She was sharing with the audience how her own thinking evolved. In the telling she acknowledges her own failed thinking and how it's evolved. If anything this viedo illustrates what we should all strive to do - see beyond our own sometimes biased perceptions to change and embrace rather than divide. Shame on you for trying to make her words mean something they clearly do not.
