Defending [Pastor] Wright--Obama
Politico ^ | 3-14-08 | Ben Smith

Posted on 03/14/2008 9:56:29 AM PDT by reagandissiple

Q: What about this particular statement?

A: Obviously, I disagree with that. Here is what happens when you just cherry-pick statements from a guy who had a 40-year career as a pastor. There are times when people say things that are just wrong. But I think it's important to judge me on what I've said in the past and what I believe.

“Here is what happens when you just cherry-pick statements from a guy who had a 40-year career as a pastor.”

Gosh, Barack, because he’s a pastor we can’t hold him accountable for what he says?

Rush is hammering Obama over this today. Really putting the boots to him.

Cherry pick?! Show me a sermon from this so-called minister that is not a hate filled diatribe against Whites/Jews/The Rich.

I want to know how many other churches engage in this hatred and race-baiting.

I somewhat agree that Barak Hussein really doesn’t want the nomination enough to go through the fire. Some people will notice when he wimps out, but his glassy eyed supporters will not care, as they’re wimpouts too.

Cherry pick? Seems we have these bushels of cherries here, they are all rotten and stink. You, sir, are finished as a viable candidate. Thank you for your time.

If Barrack becomes POTUS, you will not be able to question anything, understood?

This asshat has no business objecting to what is said about his associates or mentors. It's not possible to "judge me on what I believe" when he never says what he believes. People try to learn about him from looking at his life and his contacts indirectly because he intentionally never discloses what he believes or feels directly.

Watch him, now. If this issues continues to grow, he will declare it off limits by implying it is a racist issue.

The Rev and Obama obviously agree that reciting the Pledge of Alligance and wearing a flag pin of a racist country who deserved 9/11 is wrong.

Thanks for the clarification, @sshole.

If HUSSEIN continues to attend this “church” and does not IMMEDIATELY FIRE WRIGHT FROM HIS CAMPAIGN STAFF he is done.

“Here is what happens when you just cherry-pick statements from a guy who had a 40-year career as a pastor.”

That's the kind of tree whose branches collapse from the weight of its fruit.

Forget the Pubbies, Hillary's got two more months to focus on Obama's choice in women and pastors. She just hasn't found the right conduit...yet.

who could blame him if so..

can you imagine having all the nutcases in the world claiming they got you elected and then demand tribute in return in the form of funding etc.?

.. and then, having to go around cleaning up after Mrs’ O everytime she spouts off after forgetting all the things this country has allowed and helped her and her husband to become and accomplish.

No, I don’t blame him at all , if true. ;-)

Lets not hurt Obama’s feelings, over 3000 Americans who lost their life's. The congregation should of been out of shape with the rhetoric if they were Americans.

Let's play this out. This hurts Obama badly, but not enough for hillary to beat him 2-1 in the upcoming states. They go to convention. HRC argues, with just cause, that he can't win with this out there. She convinces the superdelegates to come her way. African-Americans are infuriated and stay home. She loses big time. Gerry mandered districts that count on the African American vote to prop up their candidates down ticket lose.

Decisive victory.

Rush and Rove-you magnificent basterds.

Besides the ABC story, how many non-conservative news outlets are running this story. To get a perspective, if this were the church of a conservative candidate talking about blacks and Jews such, what would the uproar be by now?

Sickening. Wright is just as hateful as that Westboro crowd or a raging Imam for that matter. How can anyone bring their family to listen to this hate is beyond me. Thank goodness.

Rush saying anything about McCain? McCAin seemed to be sending out an olive branch last night to Rush.

Actually, he is done anyway. Nobody survives this kind of crap (unless of course he acutally is the Antichrist!) ;)

Speaking of the hateful pastor, is anyone downloading those youtubes in case the dems demand that they be removed?
