I am not voting for him but I am saying I understand his position. I think he disavowed Wright’s racism but he said Wright was much more, in terms of actions, than those words showed.
You may be right, this may not fly for him but it made sense for me.
His real danger is his marxism and his sympathy for muslims and his naive view of the world.
Yes Obama’s real danger is his Marxism.
But imo, Obama = David Duke.
Is Juan Williams is a Hillary shill right?
Seems like he never really sticks up for BO.
He either see’s this situation like we do or he’s for Hillary.
Obama was essentially an orphan, abandoned by his parents and raised by his white grandparents. I agree that he seems to have found in “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright his father figure for the father he never knew. His personal tragedy is that the man he chose is going to be the undoing of his presidential campaign, and that is fine with me.
We don’t choose our parents, but he chose this guy when already an adult in his mid-20s, and he cannot escape the burdens of that chosen association now. This is not just one of numerous cousins, one of whom happens to be kinda nutty but you try to humor him because he is after all ‘family’ — Obama chose to build his adult life around this so-called “minister” and his church. It is the central fact of his life for 20 years outside of his wife and family (who are also integrally built into this church).
I can certainly understand why Obama can’t (and won’t) now run too fast away from the man who has been the central guiding mentor of his life. However, objective voters should look at this just as they would look at an Obama-twin who had been Farrakan the main mentor of his adult life.

Yes, but claiming Wright does some "good things" doesn't make his hatred less poisonous.
I hate to bring up the old fascism analogies (although Obama's socialistic nostrums are an excellent example of "liberal fascism"), but it's apropos:
You can't say Jeremiah Wright has some redeeming qualities -- anymore than you can say Mussolini did too ... because he made the trains run on time.
