Presidential candidate Barack Obama preaches on the campaign trail that America needs a new consensus based on faith and bipartisanship, yet he continues to attend a controversial Chicago church whose pastor routinely refers to "white arrogance" and "the United States of White America."
In fact, Obama was in attendance at the church when these statements were made on July 22. .....

the ONLY one i can think of, offhand is that bunch of suicidal KOOKS that drank the "kool-aid".

He is verbally doing that. However, if he is shown to be a liar by observations like those discussed on this thread, and, if the pastor remains a spiritual advisor, then the obvious conclusion is that he actually agrees with the pastor. That make Osama a racist and blows apart his campaign of "bringing together". Of course, it has been tripe all long but it must be proven to those in the mainstream who don't want to hear it said about their Messiah.
Nope.
This is a portion of an article from the International Herald Tribune that gives you an idea of just what kind of influence Rev. Wright has been to Obama. What the writer means is that Obama copied Wright’s style with addition of lawyerly weasel words.
It also helped give him spiritual bona fides and a new assurance. Services at Trinity were a weekly master class in how to move an audience. When Mr. Obama arrived at Harvard Law School later that year, where he fortified himself with recordings of Mr. Wright’s sermons, he was delivering stirring speeches as a student leader in the classic oratorical style of the black church.
But he developed a tone very different from his pastor’s. In contrast with Mr. Wright — the kind of speaker who could make a grocery list sound like a jeremiad — Mr. Obama speaks with cool intellect and on-the-one-hand reasoning. He tends to emphasize the reasonableness of all people; Mr. Wright rallies his parishioners against oppressors.
That obviously is a personal decision on whether to offer your first hand knowledge to the Press--and it is NOT an easy decision--because you will immediately be attacked and branded as a racist.
After all,,,you must be aware of the "RULES" (as defined by the PC liberal-left media):
RULE 1 -Blacks have a 'blank check' to say whatever they want.
RULE 2 - Anyone that questions RULE 1--is (by definition) a RACIST!!!
Again, there seems to be no effort at all by the MSM to interview any of the churchgoers who DO have 'first-hand' knowledge (since the MSM just wants this to 'go away').
Hey brother. You might not recognize me, but I recognize you. It’s been a long, long time. Good to see you.
Maybe he was there, but he didn't inhale! Yeah, that's it!

YEP, i remember.

Good work and thanks for the ping.
Good question. I guess that Senator B. (whose name must NEVER be spoken out loud) Obama DID hear that comment....lol
That's an interesting thought. But this issue is so damaging to Obama, Clinton probably doesn't need to say a thing about it, and she would be wise not to.
Keep the information flowing, Philo. And thanks for the ping. I would’ve missed this one.
“Am I missing something here?”
Yes! During the Star Spangled Banner, you should remove your hat and place it or your right handover your heart. Just watch major league baseball for a hint.
I did wonder about that too. However, IMHO, the answer is simple.
Democrats/liberals and the MSM embrace black racism--so they had no major problem with what the Pastor said. To democrats,,,it just is NOT a big deal!!!
Heck, they even have their owned 'sugar coated' policy for black racism--aka 'affirmative action'.
They also have their own 'nice word' for it too--'diversity'.
Does it appear that he was singing along for part of it? I think maybe towards the end of it. It’s hard to tell.
Does anyone wonder why the MSM is NOT interviewing any of the regular 'church-goers' at Trinity--to find out how often this hateful, racist garbage was spewed??
Just imagine if it was a white church spewing that garbage that McCain attended regularly for over 20 years?
(Look at what they tried to do to Trent Lott for nothing...absolutely NOTHING).
He had over 20 years of watching and 'learning' from the best!! /s
Kinda like conservatives in the GOP...
