I don't believe there's anything wrong with you- or anyone, presenting a viewpoint that you feel is unbiased and fair.<BR/>But you have to understand that this is a very emotional and volatile political race. Lies will be told. Truths will be turned. People will be misquoted. It's just the nature of the beast. And although I'm don't necessarily feel as strongly as E and A, I understand. This response could quite possibly sway minds, and lead people to question their support of Obama, or persuade to give the Republican ticket another thought. Was that your goal with this response? Because it's possible, that that might be the result. Although I appreciate your attempt choose and judge fairly, words are very powerful. It is really doesn't appear as though you have any real allegiance towards either candidate...although you will probably cast your vote for Barack...because he's black. You've got be careful with your articles right now- the political client can be changed in an instant- and Obama could find himself completely out of it. My opinion: Right now, you should find a candidate to support and do it. And don't expect for people who are on the other side of your choice not to be upset about it. The race is too close in time and polls for people to be expected to be as 'fair' as you are. It might have been ok back in April...or even before the Palin curve ball, but shit is serious now...and expect people to respond that way. It's survival of the fittest - and you could potentially be damaging peoples' dream for this country if they support Obama.<BR/><BR/>-BaionMUATA NOWEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163803445038361728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548272.post-2334916165020642642008-09-20T12:56:00.000-07:002008-09-20T12:56:00.000-07:00Muata Responds to AJ:But, AJ, it is interesting th...Muata Responds to AJ:<BR/><BR/>But, AJ, it is interesting that when I do blast white folk and the government - even Christianity folk (those folk who are critical of religion) some appear to be in my corner. That commentary I wrote recently about the government received applause - but when I present legitimate concerns and arguments about blacks and Barack I am the plagued child. That is not fair, and in my opinion it only displays an inability for some to ingest a different view. <BR/><BR/>Lord. It is negative when it makes one uncomfortable. But, as soon as I hit the government and white men I am a writing saint. Not fair AJ. Not fair. Let's at least attempt to be fair. I know life is not. Can we try?<BR/><BR/>Also, it appears to me that you may view me as judgmental. I try hard not to be. One thing I will not allow is for us to get out of what is right in the eyes of most. Vick was wrong, I just told him and the world so. I expect you to do the same when I am wrong.<BR/><BR/>I am not defending. I am just a black man that most expect to be fully supportive of Barack. A man with conservative views. A man who will not put my head in the sand when Sean Hannity or Rush Lambaugh speaks. Will not do it. I learn from those fools. <BR/><BR/>Ask yourself if you are open to hear the other sides' opinions and views. <BR/><BR/>-MuataMUATA NOWEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163803445038361728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548272.post-51932429332393411892008-09-20T12:55:00.000-07:002008-09-20T12:55:00.000-07:00AJ Responds to Muata:Thoughts to ponder. 1 - No on...AJ Responds to Muata:<BR/><BR/>Thoughts to ponder.<BR/> <BR/>1 - No one is perfect. You take the good with the bad. But you only continue to associate with them if the good outweighs the bad. <BR/> <BR/>2 - The good in Barack Obama's policies outweighs those of McCain. (My opinion - please don't respond with an attack.)<BR/> <BR/>3 - You don't want to be in a relationship with someone who only points out the bad in you and everything else.<BR/> <BR/>4 - You have a right to your opinion. I respect that. But, much of what you call the truth, is your opinion.<BR/> <BR/>5 - McCain's / Palin's views and opinions are theirs - true. But, I totally disagree with them, thus I would not want them in a position that the they could inflict their views and opinions on me and make them laws that effect my life. I don't care what the average person believes, until they want to be in a position that they can effect my life and make decisions for me. <BR/> <BR/>6 - Think about the things that you are defending and why.<BR/> <BR/>7 - Michael Vick is a human being. He's made some mistakes. You're a human being, you've made mistakes. His are out there for all to see. You don't want anyone to know about yours. Do you want people to judge you and write negative articles about you? He's human. We are all Human with feelings. We're never going to be perfect.<BR/> <BR/>8 - Why are you so hard on black people? Rhetorical - I don't want an answer. But think about why it is that you are.<BR/> <BR/>9 - White people are just as bad, if not worse than black people.<BR/> <BR/>10 - Instead of writing articles criticizing us, why not do something to bring us up? That is more effective. People are running from your articles because they are so negative. <BR/> <BR/>11- Negativity has no place in my day to day life. Especially when it comes to someone and many that are trying to make it better.<BR/> <BR/>Just some thoughts to ponder.<BR/><BR/>-AJMUATA NOWEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163803445038361728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548272.post-20021531182325801022008-09-20T12:52:00.000-07:002008-09-20T12:52:00.000-07:00Muata responds to AJ:No one should support a candi...Muata responds to AJ:<BR/><BR/>No one should support a candidate at all cost of what is right. It was not right or fair for Ensler to share that letter with the masses when her points were either false or baseless. I just presented a rebuttal that's secured in the facts that I researched. <BR/><BR/>-MuataMUATA NOWEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163803445038361728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548272.post-36430565407960566512008-09-20T12:51:00.000-07:002008-09-20T12:51:00.000-07:00Reader AJ Responds:You Know you might as well be a...Reader AJ Responds:<BR/><BR/>You Know you might as well be a Republican and out campaigning for McCain and Palin. His/Her supporters are supporting them at all cost. It is at all cost. <BR/><BR/>-AJMUATA NOWEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163803445038361728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548272.post-51827016557108025512008-09-19T06:45:00.000-07:002008-09-19T06:45:00.000-07:00man she is a big ole distraction lets not take the...man she is a big ole distraction lets not take the bait<BR/>and have a great weekendAll-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843040863123899426noreply@blogger.com
