Ouch!

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America," he told his congregation.

He's right about only one thing. The three-strike law is terrible. We need to replace it... with a ONE-strike law. Then I'll sing GOD BLESS AMERICA!

"would he have just sat there with an inscrutable look on his face as those around him nodded"

Nodded? More like ecstatic jubilation.

God has blessed America, and blessed the Obamas in America, and even blessed the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose bashing of his own country would be far less lucrative anywhere else on the planet. The "racist" here is not Geraldine Ferraro but the Rev. Wright, whose appeals to racial bitterness are supposed to be everything President Obama will transcend. Right now, it sounds more like the same-old same-old.

"Ouch!" indeed!

Obama is willing to pass Mr. Wright’s hate legacy to future generations by his bringing his own children to that church.

...she's having difficulty finding money for their daughters' piano lessons and summer camp. Between them, Mr. and Mrs. Obama earn $480,000 a year (not including book royalties from "The Audacity Of Hype," but they're whining about how tough they have it to couples who earn 48 grand – or less. Yes, we can. But not on a lousy half-million bucks a year.

Maybe they could qualify for SCHIP like the Frost family in Baltimore that owns three cars and a commercial building?

For Obama/Osama to be in a church for all his adult life (20 years) and to claim to have NOT heard this crap, is a much bigger load of crap than Rev. Wright's rantings.

Obama thinks that he can simply claim ignorance and simply do a "I repudiate him" with a wave of his hand and it'll go away.

Remember that Rev. Wright is more than a passing acquaintance but his SPIRITUAL MENTOR and PASTOR for 20 years and also used his materials for his books.

Note also how Obama does not wear an American lapel pin nor places his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. Obama's radical hate-america colors are rising to the surface and if he get the White House you can be sure that it'll be the HQ of something like the Black Panthers.

I find it so totally ironic that it takes a Canadian to be able to so precisely illustrate US politics.

“The Rev. Wright is like “an old uncle who says things I don’t always agree with.”

Stupid defense on Obama’s part.

You cannot choose your uncle.

Obama CHOSE to attend that hate filled church for decades.

He could have walked away at anytime, yet....

[endthematrix]

"an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with."

See how easy it is to dismiss ANYTHING. And we thought Congress has amnesia when under oath, this turkey can just point to old uncle to deflect responsibility.

[Berlin_Freeper]

- Ah, well, no, the senator told ABC News. The Rev. Wright is like “an old uncle who says things I don’t always agree with.”

His old uncle must be on the white side of the family.

[Caipirabob]

I wonder how much the good "reverend" is worth, btw? How much does he get paid to foster hatred and filled those mush-filled skulls with anti-white racism?

Any National Political candidate with a 20 year close association to the local Klan leader would be toast long ago, excepting Bobby KKK Byrd!

What is Barack Obama for?

Does anybody know? Obama has been packaged like JFK, when JFK had no senatorial achievements. He was backrolled by his very rich daddy, and ol' Joe pulled all the strings he could to gety his boy elected.

Who's behind Barack, because his rise to power has not been due to any achievement of his own.

[Grampa Dave]

Just What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons? (Plenty)

“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”

Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.

“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”

“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”
