Or perhaps too little info, to late to stop his sweep into nomination, but perhaps get to allow the Rep still win the election.
But then, honestly, does a lot of this hate speech really differ from how many of the far left democrats really feel ?
The hot light is on Obama now, he has to be sweating it out! One has to look in that should he win the nomination, this, along with other things, would put the Obama campaign under the greatest scrutiny and make it further questionable and would be the icing on the cake for McCain during the fall debates since Obama repeatedly has said he did not attend that speech.Quote:

What I really want to know, is, why does he call himself a black man?
Hell, he is equally as white, as he is black, is he not?
He also need to keep a better log of what he has said, he can't even remember things he said less than 6 months ago. "I never said I wouldn't wear "that pin"?
If it wasn't so sickening, it would be funny.
What gets me is that they Rev. WRight's hate speeches when he could and would do better including all people who have been wronged and make it an average American against whoever or whatever. Example: He says the Tuskegee Airmen were targeted and wiped out by the white man but what about Agent Orange and AIDS and other things? They have killed many white Americans too!'
I have said since Rev Wright was brought into the pic that there is no way Obama could have sat in his church and been friends and not known what he believes.
How many months or years does it take to realize someone is a racist even when they do a good job at hiding it!
Does he call himself a black man (and if so, probably because that's what he sees when he looks in a mirror). Or is everyone else obsessing over that point? Remember the old days when whites called a person black if there was even just one drop of black blood in him/her?Quote:

I read the article. Obama musta been doin' some hot jettin' around that day. And I wonder why that reporter Jim guy decided to get all churchified?Quote:

I know if I had attended a church with a pastor like Rev Felps going there would be over quicker than he could say one single racist line.
Racist black pastor? Did you grow up black in the American South that had separate public bathrooms and drinking fountains for blacks (with big signs "Blacks only") who were forced to live in a less desirable part of town and were limited in education and jobs? Would you have objected back then? If not, why not? Would you remember the injustice?Quote:

Yes, it is obvious that he is a Racist Black Pastor.
You have a point about the situations faced by minorities in America, it was horrible and yes, we should never forget and should continue to strive to be more accepting of the different races in this country.
That said, please explain how the ranting and lies being told by this so called "pastor" will do anything except make things worse? Does he sound like he is trying to make anything better?
He's not a racist black pastor. Does that mean that any rabbi that angrily speaks out about the Holocaust is a racist Jewish rabbi? He's someone, making a statement. Just like everyone else in this country has a right to do. If you don't like it, you don't have to agree with it, you can change the channel, turn down the volume, stick your fingers in your ears and hum... but he still has a right to say it. What you decide to do with what is said is completely up to you.
What's so different about Rev. Wright making a sermon voicing his opinion than any other person making any type of speech voicing their opinion? What's the difference between that and some of the posts you see on this site?
Everyone is so up in arms about it... walk down the street someday and really listen to what people in the general public are saying... black and white... more people probably think along the same lines as Rev. Wright do than will ever actually admit it. I have heard people of all different races, ethnic backgrounds and financial situations say the same thing as Wright... it's an "illegal war"... "our men are dying for nothing"... it's based on "Bush's lies and for oil and money"... but you put the "Black Spin" on it and oh my goodness what a fuss!
Like I said, did you grow up in the same U.S. Wright did and are black? If so, I honor you for your forebearance and forgiveness. If not, think about it. Think deeply about it. Oh, and racism is still going on strong, as evidenced by this thread.Quote:

I grew up in the south in the 60's, and I've seen my share of racism. In my home town,
The Blacks lived on one side of the railroad tracks, and the whites lived on the other, that's the way it was, THEN.
It is a long way back to that point in time. No, I'm not black. Does that mean that I can't recognize a racist when I see or hear one? Obviously not.
If this Pastor really cared about his "so called people" he would not continue to spout such ridiculous crap as "The US KKK of A" or "whites created aids to kill the blacks" or anything that just reinforces and compounds the hatred and intolerance that already exists.
No, he would go out of his way, to attempt to make things better, to try to find love and compassion, not to incite even more hatred, keep stirring up the racial hatred that WAS much more prevalent so many years ago.
As long as there are Pastors like him, things will only get worse, never better.
Just wondered what your personal experience has been...Quote:

You must have missed reading the articles that have been published about all the neighborhood improvements and social work that have been done because of his leadership during the 30-some years he was a minister there. I guess those are nullified because of five minutes of negative comments during all those years of sermons.Quote:

Just wondered what your personal experience has been... Btw, it still is that way in many towns and cities. New Orleans is our most recent public revelation of that situation.Quote:

I would have been proud to be a member of his church and involved in all the work that his congregation has done--and will continue to do under a new minister.
If you think racism is a white man's monopoly, then you are really deluded. Every race has its racists, and Rev. Wrong is one of them.
The financial crisis
The collapse of housing values in the US and around the world
Afghanistan
Health care
Torture
The declining value of the US Dollar
Education
Trade
Pakistan
Energy
Immigration
The decline of American manufacturing
The Supreme Court
The burgeoning world food crisis.
Global warming
China
The attacks on organized labor and the working class
Terrorism and al Qaeda
Civil liberties and constraints on government surveillance
Those are all excellent topics to judge a candidate: you decide to pick a sermon attendance and lapel pin. Pathetic.
I want to play the "new revelation" game! Let me Guess! George W Bush believed that G-d told him to go to war in Iraq and now Jesus has told you to vote for McCain?Quote:
