NEW YORK POST ^ | March 18, 2008 -- | CARL CAMPANILE

More than half of voters are less likely to support Barack Obama for president after hearing the anti-American rants of his longtime Chicago pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a shocking poll revealed yesterday.

The Rasmussen Reports survey found that Wright's controversial comments made 56 percent of voters, including 44 percent of Democrats, less inclined to vote for Obama.

Two-thirds of the 1,200 people polled said they knew of Wright's statements, which have been broadcast repeatedly on media outlets over the past several days.

And 73 percent of voters, including 58 percent of black voters, called Wright's comments racially divisive.

In yet another Wright video that emerged yesterday, he is seen denouncing Israel as a "dirty word" and a "racist country" partly responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

"I said that dirty word again. Every time you say 'Israel,' Negroes get awfully quiet," Wright said in a sermon he gave in September 2002.

Other explosive comments that Wright made as pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago include blaming America for 9/11, accusing the government of creating AIDS ...

I would hope so....

The Wright connection along with Michelle’s antiAmerican remarks should alarm people.

It boggles my mind that a preacher of a Christian church says that Israel is a dirty word.

Now now, Al Gore’s friendship with Fred Phelps never hurt HIS campaign.

This will blow over too.

Even though Barack Obama goes to a racist, anti-American church, and has considered this man his mentor for over 20 years.

There are too many rich white people in Israel keeping the black man down. Just like those white European EYE-talians killed our black Jesus.

We can’t question the patriotism of the Left. They have none.

I'd like to see a Rasamussen poll to see just how many of those taking the poll even found anything offensive about Wright's remarks.

Obama: "I'm not a Muslim I have been a member of my Christian Church for 20 years.

Obama:" I made sure I skipped all of Rev. Wright's controversial sermons for the last 20 years. There are no recordings of me shouting "Amen" after Rev. Wright spoke."

Unfortunately, a drop of 10% is not a 'plunge.'

Barak Obama was built up by empty rhetoric and taken down by malicious rhetoric. It's inconceivable that he could have sat in that church for 20 years and not known his pastor was racist kook. No wonder he's so fine with the idea of meeting with dictators and other America haters; he is willing to listen to one every Sunday and put money in the collection plate too!

Obama seems to have the delegates to win the DNC in August.

Hillary should lose by August.

We are getting ready for November.
