American Afternoon with Ron Kuby Thursday May 22nd 2008

By Eric Camille
Barack Obama moved a bit closer to wrapping up the nomination as he is less than 70 delegates away. Hillary Clinton is vowing to push on and possibly take the fight to the convention in August. Barack Obama continues to focus on the general election and taking on John McCain. Obama also seems to be having a bit of an issue with certain communities. Ari Berman, from The Nation, will join Ron Kuby in HOUR ONE to talk about it.

Kicking off HOUR TWO will be guest Taylor Marsh. Taylor Marsh is a Clinton supporter who maintains the major blog site for Clinton fans and expert analysis on all election-year topics, including the results of the ongoing Presidential primaries.

Also joining Ron in HOUR TWO will be David Wilhelm. Wilhelm is a political operative and businessman. Wilhelm is best known for managing campaigns for President Bill Clinton, Senator Paul Simon, Senator Joe Biden, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. Wilhelm is a 2008 super delegate to the Democratic National Convention. He is supporting Barack Obama's candidacy and is informally advising the Obama campaign. Wilhelm is a venture capitalist who focuses on spurring sustainable economic growth in areas that tend not to receive much investment.

Closing out today’s show will be guest Daniel Lazare. Lazare is the author of, most recently, The Velvet Coup: The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the Decline of American Democracy. He is currently at work on a book about the politics of Christianity, Judaism and Islam for Pantheon.

You can rant all you want. Most people don't listen to all that garb. I understand all that ranting your doing. You are so missing the point. Are you a understanding liberal yes you are. Why not just say to the world my father was a Muslim. I am not . Instead of dancing around the issue. Ron Kuby would not mince words when it came to someone of Jewish heritage. He plays by those rules. Why does he not play by the Muslim rule. Thats all I am saying.
And besides people
only understand what they are familiar with. Look at the Muslim world. They take conversion very
seriously. Its called Murtadd. Look it up!
