How much trouble is Barack Obama in over the extremism of Jeremiah Wright? Enough that Dem strategist Donna Brazile has been reduced to arguing that as black preachers go, Wright is relatively moderate. Enough that the normally affable Brazile got a bit short with Time editor Mark Halperin, he of the infamous memo to his subordinates during the 2004 presidential campaign while serving as ABC News political director.
The comments came during the panel discussion on today's This Week with George Stephanopoulos on ABC.

Oh, I think the jumping up and down and clapping and crying out "hallelujah" told me everything I needed to know about the intellectual integrity of those congregants.
Unfortunately, I was also NOT surprised by any of it.
Thanks, I caught your link in the other post. This is unbelievable. I wonder what the parents thought of this little exercise? I wonder if any of these “educators” were fired. It breaks my heart to see children being taught a “lesson” like that.
Um....Hillary’s negatives are at 49%.....that MIGHT be the reason Rush & Co did what they did....
Eddie Murphy made a very funny short film when he was with SNL called “White Like Me.” He “passed” as white and discovered a whole new world of white people when blacks were not around.
And Abu Gharib is considered "torture".
Hillary will simply do anything to win. She probably has info obtained from McCain's FBI file.
If she doesn't get the nomination she would probably be willing to torpedo Obama's campaign simply out of spite. If she can't get the nomination then she feels that no Democrat deserves to win in '08.
While I couldn't see in, I could hear their carols and their enthusiasm out on the sidewalk. I was struck by their spirituality, although I wouldn't have called it that back then. It was so unlike the somber Gregorian Chant and Latin Mass I was used to.
But surely, those people spoke to God and He to them, if not in the manner of Pope Gregory, in a manner that God understood.
No catechism, no nun, no priest could tell me that these were people were not God's children, nor did they ever attempt to. So what if their prayers lacked the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur that saved us from doctrinal error? Would not the Christ Who forgave the repentant thief on the Cross, endure an "hallelujah!"?
It seems to me mainline Christianity has lost sight of His Message, so is it surprising that its less thoroughly ecclesiastical adherents may have drifted further still?
The thing is, Wright is just mimicking that enthusiasm and energy. I hate to bring Hitler into this, but the way he was moving, and the things that were coming out of his mouth, and the screeching and screaming; I couldn’t help but be reminded of the infamous Nuremburg rallies that we always see footage of.
If blacks and Leftist can’t comprehend how utterly repulsive and obnoxious most white Americans find this loony &^$%^$, there is no hope for their recovery........or “reconciliation”.
Segregation will return in self imposed full force.....by the Afro-Centric blacks to their own harm..
In my opinion, he already has renounced the good Lord JC by being in the pocket of Planned Parenthood.
The fat bitch holding the little girl was the grandmother.
Well if this is a MODERATE BLACK PASTOR
then they must be in the same class
or lack of class
as the Muslim extremist mosques
they hate America too
Friends if Obama wins we are in DEEP D** D**
I remember the riots after the arrest of Rodney King, when a white truck driver was dragged out and beaten nearly to death (not that they weren’t trying to kill him). Other blacks tried to intervene, and were the ones who helped the victim get to medical care afterwards.
Then there’s a lot more racist hate than we thought.
Shouldn't surprise anybody. These are the same savages who refer to black women as "hos."
It is funny, we live in Deep South Texas on the coast. We have always gone to quiet calm boring Lutheran church. I had seriously considered going to a black Baptist church instead. They seem so lively and excited and the music is so awesome, but if this is a moderate black church, I think I will stick to boring church with boring music. At least the message at a Lutheran church is love, forgiveness, etc. as Christ taught us!
That is true. And planned parenthood was started by a group who wanted to wipe out the black race. When will they ever wake up to THAT?
I watched that on O’Reilly. I don’t think those weren’t Obama staffers...supporters, yes but not staffers. I know was was an editor of an African-American newspaper in Chicago...can’t remember what the other did.
OMG! Are they doing fake lynchings of those kids???
Somebody should be calling child protective services right now. That’s stunning. Seriously, that’a about one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.
Blacks have got to rein in their hatred. They are ruining their children.
