Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America."
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism."
In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.
Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."

Don’t know, don’t care. I just hope there is one showing Obama standing and cheering the racist preacher on.
However there is evidence in his behavior that reveals the opposite to be true. Isn't this the guy that will not put his hand over the heart during the singing of the American national anthem?
Isn't this the guy who will not pledge allegiance to the flag of the USA or even wear a tiny pin of the flag on his lapel?
Gee! I wonder how many presidents of this country refused to even show the basic respect for the symbols of this country?
Never judge a man by his words alone, it is his deeds that reveal the true man.
Question: Is this really the person that the people of this country want as it's leader. If he does become the leader of this country, will he respect it?
I guess the most disturbing thing, other that the subject matter and the way it was delivered by Minister Wright, is that this inflammatory rhetoric was vomited out of his mouth immediately following the horrors of 9/11.
I am disturbed by this.
Maybe off their website.
My Church puts their messages on their website for all to see.

Well...I’m a member of the KKK. I really like their Christian elements with the glowing cross and such. I don’t always agree with what our leader says....but just because I belong to this group don’t get on my case....after all....I don’t always agree with what they say...I’m just a member!

I have a feeling everyone who attends that church will think that Jesus was a white racist when they are all left behind after the rapture.
GMA on ABC reported on this this morning as well.
They must support Hillary.
This all could not have originated from Hillary camp.
She’s already extended the peace overture of a double ticket to Bam Bam.
Rove?
