Reminds me of the complete bafoons who tried to interrupt President McCains speech last evening. Do not even have the tact and decency to engage in civile debate, instead they take to screaming like a man gone postal in a public display of thier own ignorance.
This is actually standard operation for the left. They want to be heard but not let others be heard. Michael Moore was a perfect example with his polemic movie

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
I don't think he sees himself as identifying with whites at all.
...and I do honestly think that there are many whites who do not see themselves as identifying with him. We have come a long way, as evidenced by the fact that it is a non-issue to Renda, unfortunately not everybody feels that way. I do think that there still is a segment who would rather not have a Black pastor, President, or in many other positions.
Once again, the fact that he won the nomination of a major party shows the progress in that area, but it would be naive to think that that translates to every sector in our society.

I'm sure that there are quite a few people who feel this way. The thing that irritates me, though, is that the media tends to think or imply that only conservative Republicans feel that way about a black man (or woman) being in a leadership position. There have been a lot of racist Democrats in previous years, and IMO, the ones in office represent a large number more in the constituency. The same goes for extreme positions in the Republican party.
Kind of like if you see one flea on your dog, there are probably 100 more in your carpet. *shudder*

I certainly would not confine it to any one party, I'm just saying that it is still a factor to a segment of our society. The issue of whether a Black candidate would have won the candidacy of the GOP is still hypothetical, so I guess we'll know the answer to that someday.
