Otto...here is one reason why I am pessimistic about discussion here being possible.
Which one of these is an actual quote and which is not?
My signature:
"Race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America - to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality." ~ Barack Obama

Obama's speech on race
Your signature:
"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it." Barack Obama
Source: none....
Obama never said it.
I assume you received the quote in an e-mail or saw the quote on a right wing blog (the only places it appears) and like it because it fits your agenda. But you were duped because it is false.
Do you think spreading and perpetuating false statements contributes to honest discussions in political forums or detracts from such discussion?
