I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial.Or especially, characteristically, or to a greater extent than other churches?
Sure, the dummies will buy your lies. When your campaign volunteers go door to door to drag the politically ignorant, indifferent, and lazy folks to the polls, you may still have a chance. But Hillary supporters will most likely be hauling them to the polls, also.

"That minister, that was terrible, all his sayings. He's preaching hatred," Vento said. "The thing I didn't like about Obama; you're telling me for 20 years you been going to that church and you never heard that?"
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Well, Obamanation was in town (Salem, OR) today. I was SO tempted to go to the rally with my “typical white person” protest sign, but I had the kiddies.
However, as I was coming out of the grocery store today I saw a woman with her “Obama 08” t-shirt on. It really was disturbing. His face was plastered all over it. It looked more like a concert t-shirt. Just one of the faithful paying homage to their false god I guess!

To: Parmy
Parmy, I'm a White American Female and I know that both genders all over the world have a vital, yet unique value in society, which is made up of families. When young married women bought into the modern feminist propaganda that they could "have it all", I saw this trend as taking jobs away from men...men who supported themselves, their wives, and their children. It also relegated the care of children to outsiders. Believe me, others saw the pitfalls too.
One link I read shows:
In 1940, 28% of women worked outside the home
In 1996, 62% of women worked outside the home.
When children enter the picture, many of them spend their young years in "Hillary's Village". Sad. They need to be with a loving parent and, ideally, they benefit most by having a good mother AND father.

Seriously, I smell Hillary in this. She waited until obama had an insurmountable lead in delagates then dropped the crazy-pastor bomb? Doubtful.

I can hear the vile screeds from Pastor Wright now if the DNC doesnt pick B.H.O. in August or the Nation doesnt pick B.H.O. in November.You'll hear sirens on the streets in the big cities.

You must have picked up on the six or eight large American flags lined up behind him when he attempted to "explain" that he was unaware of Wright's anti-American rants despite his 20-year membership in that church. And, yeah, yeah, "Let me tell you about the good works of Reverend Wright!"

"That's the way we think, as a people," said Brooks. "It may be a big thing to the white race, but you know, these things happened to us. All these things that he's talking about happened to us."Only if you were born before 1865. If that's really the way they think "as a people," they'll always be unhappy and bitter and feel like they can't accomplish anything. What a miserable way to choose to live.

George Brooks, a cook in the A1 Soul Food truck, parked on the street in front of the Temple University campus in north Philadelphia, said Wright's comments reflected the thinking of many African-Americans. "That's the way we think, as a people," said Brooks. "It may be a big thing to the white race, but you know, these things happened to us. All these things that he's talking about happened to us." A "people" don't think...a "people" is the definition of an unthinking mob.
Tell us that YOU think, Mr. Brooks...if you can.

Didn’t ya know Obama can do anything. He’s basically a superhero. He’s gonna cure all of our ills. /sarcasm off
To: YoungBlackRepublican
I’m an Aussie, watching from a distance. I’m still inclined to believe most people in the US do not realize obama is not what he claims to be, he is not an african-american, he’s a lot of arab from his Kenyan-born father, a lot of white Kansas from his mother and a tiny bit of Luo Kenyan from a Kenyan great-grandmother...
http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html
True Negro tribal members of western Kenya where his father was born have Christian names, not Arabic. His father’s decision to name him with an Arabic name is a matter of his father establishing his ethnic identity in Africa - it is done deliberately to separate him from the African tribes. He may live among them, but he is not one of them. His father’s message is that he is Arabic, not Negro.
Many will find these truths unsettling. I’m often asked, “But I thought his father was Kenyan. How could Mr. Obama not be African-American, how could his ethnic composition be so Arabic?”
The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his father’s name, and the names of all his ancestors on his father’s side. They are all Arabic.
Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region...

He wrote his own speech? That's another BIG LIE! I have yet to see anything BHO has written except excerpts from the 2 juvenile books he claims to have written.
Where are any writings from this highly educated Professor of Constitutional Law? I'll wager his writing skills are minimal, very much like his so-called intellectual thinking being even quasi rational.
He is just another AA BUM with no real talent except spreading BS via a Teleprompter and his internalized bigotry & oppression! He's dead in the GE!
