Wrights speech is good.

Obama's speech is great:

Please keep your opinion to yourself if you have not listened to both speeches.

Hitchens deserves his own TV show. He should call it "Chris Hates Everybody".

Hitchens has sold out his liver

This is for Aryaana, most of the time I disagree with your bloggers, but you bring all the news to the forefront !
Like this particular Vodka drinking intellectual Christopher`s writings....
Makes so many of us to come back.

Seriously, not a THING that this guys has said is in the LEAST BIT compelling or persuasive.

GO OBAMA!!!!

Pure BS.

There is nothing wrong with Wrights speeches.

Obama did not throw his grandmother under the bus.

this whole out of context smear campaign is a republican Fake noise machine hit job.

Which, you are apparently, a part of.

If Hitchens doesn't calm down he's going to give spiteful invective a bad name.

Christopher Hitchens reads like an angrier version of William F. Buckley. All his opinions are neatly stated in perfectly crafted English, but this one tirade reminds me more of Doris Lessing's Colonial Era comments about Obama, which basically went like this: A black man should not be allowed to win the United States Presidency.

For a man who hates Henry Kissinger as he does anyone who believes in God, you'd think Hitchens would have enough on his plate to rant about at this stage.

He should stay the hell out of our election process. We've got enough problems already without having Chicken Little coming in to rain on our parade some more.

Hitchens is a boozy dim-bulb; a literary version of a shock jock; a blowhole of the first magnitude.
He lacks faith in everything, and thus is an empty shell; a void looking to suck everyone else into his emptiness.

YO YO YO LimieToss..............it`s all falling into place so stay out of it................go have a cup of tea or a pink gin

Unfortunately, I don't think Obama knows what side of the fence he is on anymore. White or Black? I would hate to see this election turn into a vote based on the color of skin...like the south has turned it into.

If that's the case...here is the breakdown of "color" in America as of 2005

White 73.9%
African American 12.4%
Asian 4.4%
Native American and Alaskan Native 0.8%
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander 0.1%
Other/multiracial 8.3%
Hispanic or Latino (of any race)

Looks like white-man America wins evertime. Is that what we want??? If everyone in the rest of the country votes the way the African / American's have been voting...then I guess the race for the Presidency will go to the white candidate.

That seems to be the message I'm getting form the voting results...blacks vote for blacks...so I suppose whites should vote for whites.

Every time a news anchor or guest speaks about voting results THEY MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND that blacks are voting for blacks. So much for eqaulity in this contry. That's a shame.

And you sold out your soul long time ago Mr. Hitchens when you changed sides.

Just remember that Hitchens supported the invasion of Iraq. And as a strident, fulminating atheist, he has nothing but name calling for anyone who has religious inclincations. No matter what Wright would preach or the style of his preaching, Hitchens would attack him.

I do not want Barak Obama for President and now that I know that he actually attends the vitriolic hate speeches by Black pseudo men of the cloth, hypocrites, charlatans, and a religious fraud that are at least one of Obama's purported "ministers?" - I do not want him or his associates in any part of the government. There is a Black malevolent mafia operating in America which inflicts as much destruction in the faith of the government as possible. Their racial malevolence is manifest in a single California's court, where its Black clerks dominate. Despite this city's racial diversity, the court is dominated by only one segment of the population. Black hate speech committed by so-called ministers is rampant in the Bay Area of California. I detest it. I detest the whites who participate in such speech.

As the minister in question, Nelson Mandela came to Berkeley once, after having been freed and all he spoke of was hateful towards the people he calls whites. Young white men were cheering each epithet of hatred towards the whites. Did Mandela have any formula for race relations?
This minister - I call a charlatan - is exploiting the need by Blacks to vent, and exploits a single or few experiences from Barak Obama's life to make money.
Obama must distance himself from hate makers and stand down hate mongering, regardless of where it might originate. He is not worthy of a Presidency if he won't avoid exploiting hate.

Hitchens needs to stop drinking.
