Obama Attended Hate America Sermon
NewsMax ^ | March 16, 2008 | Ronald Kessler

Posted on 03/18/2008 12:31:14 PM PDT by Iron Munro

Clarification:

The Obama campaign has told members of the press that Senator Obama was not in church on the day cited, July 22, because he had a speech he gave in Miami at 1:30 PM.

Our writer, Jim Davis, says he attended several services at Senator Obama's church during the month of July, including July 22.
The church holds services three times every Sunday at 7:30 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central time.

While both the early morning and evening service allowed Sen. Obama to attend the service and still give a speech in Miami, Mr. Davis stands by his story that during one of the services he attended during the month of July, Senator Obama was present and sat through the sermon given by Rev. Wright as described in the story.
Mr. Davis said Secret Service were also present in the church during Senator Obama's attendance.
Mr. Davis' story was first published on Newsmax on August 9, 2007.
Shortly before publication, Mr. Davis contacted the press office of Sen. Obama several times for comment about the Senator's attendance and Rev. Wright's comments during his sermon.
The Senator's office declined to comment.

Contrary to Senator Barack Obama’s claim that he never heard his pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. preach hatred of America, Obama was in the pews last July 22 when the minister blamed the “white arrogance” of America’s Caucasian majority for the world’s suffering, especially the oppression of blacks.

Isn't it racist to confront Obama with uncomfortable truths?

Let’s wait to bring out the truth about Obama until he dispatches Hillary

So, the racist asks to make him a President to bridge racial divide? Because nobody else can bridge it?! Great.

Things are not looking good for Obama's campaign right now.

If this sticks, he is in big, big trouble.

Of course BHO admitted he's attended these sermons in contradiction to his earlier claims.
That being said, if Jim Davis doesn't KNOW for a FACT that BHO attended a SPECIFIC service, then don't print it.

Perhaps NewsMax should sue under the FOIA to obtain these records.

Well, I think his nomination still looks good. Democrats believe he saved himself today. And he did. Among Democrats.

Why doesn't Jim Davis specify which service O'bama attended?

Yeah, but he said that if he had heard the messages

REPEATED

he would have left the church.

He only heard them once.

He’ll probably end up saying something stupid again like he was there, but forgot, and didn’t hear a word of it.
