Rev. Calvin Butts suggests Rev. Wright just walking in the footsteps of Jesus. Ping to Today show list.

These Churches intentionally stir up racial hate to fill the collection plates. End of story.

“it would be wrong to expect congregants to criticize their pastors’ words.”

Judas goat.

I heard David Gergen on CNN tell us that anti-Americanism is an acceptable tradition in black people in the US.

White guilt is suicide.

Obama’s crazy uncle is the verbal equivalent of a pyromaniac.

[Biblebelter]

Obama laid down a gauntlet when he said he was never present when this so-called pastor who is no more than a hate mongerer got out of line. He could lay down that gauntlet because he was confident of two things. The media would never do the investigation necessary to prove him wrong, and this congregation would act more like a gang than any kind of congregation and would never rat him out for being present when they ALL knew that he was.

[TommyDale]

Just a bit of a stretch, eh?

No matter how fast or how long they try to spin this it’s a stench that he will never wash off.

"...it would be wrong to expect congregants to criticize their pastors' words..."

[MEGoody]

that fiery rhetoric is a tradition in black churches with roots in the Bible

Rhetoric full of lies is found in the bible, Rev, but it is the Pharisees doing it, and Jesus rebuking them. So Rev, if you want to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, stop being a Pharisee.

I thought that was the Clinton Broadcasting System! What they doing protecting Osama Obama?

Truly disgusting.

The apologists can try all they want, but the profane message in profane language from the pulpit is not Christian.

[Sans-Culotte]

I am not surprised to find that Obama’s church is “mainstream” in the “black community”. However, I think many would be voters (not the blue dogs) will be shocked to hear that this America-hating stuff is the norm.

[livius]

This whole story is going to be buried and forgotten by the end of next week.

[sarasota]

Well if anyone saw the love fest on Meet the Press Sunday, it was “Nausea Rising”.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Isn’t this defense a moot point, since Obama has already denounced the specific statements?

In fact, if a good defense was NOW being made for Wright’s comments, wouldn’t that actually HURT Obama since he has denounced those comments?
