No matter what Obama says, his wife’s recent statements bear out the fact that they have been sitting under this hatred for 20 years. In fact, in hindsight, it helps one understand the origin of Michelle Obama’s hateful statements.

Rev. Wright preached the gospel of Jesus

Yeah, clearly the old hater is all about Jesus.

Senator Obama, did you bring your children to this church and expose them to this preacher’s racist and hate-filled preaching? Isn’t that child abuse?

To follow-up Senator, please explain how someone can attend a church for 20-years, have the pastor baptize their kids, and donate large amounts of money to it, but not actually believe the pastor’s teachings as you seem to say in your statement?

This excuse doesn’t fly. It’s the equivilent of someone trying to rationalize a 20 membership in the KKK by saying well, I don’t agree with everything they say and I disagree with their major premise totally. That begs the next question: then why are you still a member of the KKK?

I’ve walked out of church services for less “controversial” things than Obama’s pastor said.

I would not be a member of a church that preached things I strongly disagree with.

Obama is not being honest. How can one sit under this kind of preaching for 23 years, consider this man as a mentor and spiritual advisor, and even name one’s book after one of his sermons yet vehemently disagree with him on these issues.

Obama is a phony and a danger to this Republic.

The MSM is not showing this firestorm. They Fox and Drudge are avoiding it.

The same religious right who believes that in order to be a servant of God you must not partake in voting for Partial birth abortion? The same religious right who actually supports giving the bible a read and not giving awards to a Nation of Islam leader? The same religious right who actually believes that all human life is sacred?

The same religious right where one of the leaders actually professed to a faith in Global Warming(Pat Robertson said that if I can recall. I do not endorse it but to tar all members of the Christian Right as Libertarians(which is thet true Far Right) is ridiculous)? The same religious right that is not Anti-Semitic, believes in Israel not for religious identity but because it is moral and right, the same religious right that is not Anti-Catholic? The same religious right that helped to free the slaves(who you were not a part of, sorry Obama. You cannot claim victimhood)?

Now let’s look at Democrats:

The same Democrats who constantly profess a hatred for Jews, Catholics and Evangelicals(who freed the slaves during our Civil War)? The same Democrats who lean towards your(Obama) policies on life? The same Democrats who won’t even let a child pray in public school thereby having a hampering on our moral foundations? The Democrats who see everything as a socio-political issue and not theological sometimes?

I am not entirely a religious right man myself(nevermind if Religious Right is a demeaning term usually used by Left-Wing activists) but I find those lines insufferable.

He should have said, "Look, I've dozed off in church a lot over the last 20 years. I have no idea what the old guys says, because my face hits the hymnal about 5 minutes into it".

He'd be elected in a landslide . . .

Let me repeat what I've said earlier. All of the statements that have been the subject of controversy are ones that I vehemently condemn. They in no way reflect my attitudes and directly contradict my profound love for this country.

And... looking forward to going to this church!?? having Wright as his spiritual adviser!?? Pathetic. It's like "condemning" burning cross that became too public and looking forward to attend the next, more private, burning.

Osama Obama is a liar. He has stated in the past that he was well aware of this church’s “radical” reputation when he joined it 20 years ago. He obviously found that aspect of it to be attractive. He is a trained community organizer. Trained by radical Leftists. Does he mean to tell us that in all the years of his association with Wright and his church, he was unaware of the radical statements made by Wright from the pulpit? He is unaware of the black nationalist policy statement that the “church” practices? Obama must not be allowed to become our Liar in Chief.

Obama is denying the obvious and his fans will buy right into it...just like when bubba clinton denied diddling the intern.
