I watched the videos from post #3 and this is what I thought:

I watched the second video first, I wanted to see that crazy preacher! He did get pretty worked up, and had a hard time making his case. He seemed to have psyched himself out about who he was talking to; he was nervous about being on Fox News having to defend himself. He sort of got stuck on repeating himself, it didn't look good. But he did eventually manage to get across that an emphasis on the black community doesn't denote a superiority or inferiority of one race over another. Fair enough. He didn't really explain Liberation Theology very well, but I assume he isn't just making it up. It doesn't sound hateful.

What Hannity said was nothing more than an attempt at clever wordplay. Switching words in a sentence is not an intelligent way to analyze something loaded with so much history. It's just a gimmick, it doesn't contain any actual information. Hannity, in other words, made less of a case than the guy who got all worked up. The best thing he did was let the other guy shoot himself in the foot. However, he had nothing to say, so what was the point?

Then I watched the first video. Erik Rush couldn't even keep track of what he was trying to say. I loved that part where he directly contradicted himself. He isn't very bright. But I suppose we are supposed to be more inclined to agree with him because he is black, and, hey, a black guy wouldn't attack another black guy, right? I mean, he couldn't have any other motive behind this, could he?

This Erik Rush video really cemented my opinion on this, due to his really pathetic attempt to sling mud in every direction, without really making any sense whatsoever. Combine his pathetic performance with Hannity's clever little non-point, and you have a total of zero good points made by the anti side. Hmmm... anti-what? Good question... maybe anti- the Democratic candidate? Good Lord, would they do that?! Would they stir up this whole thing just to hurt a candidate they don't want to see get elected? Occam's Fucking Razor. This is not a news story. This is nothing.
