Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday she would have left the church that Barack Obama attends if her minister had talked about America the way Obama's pastor has.

That's her job.

I honestly think this is just another Hilla-lie. She would do ANYTHING to get the nomination, and if this incuded going to a “church” that spewed hate (a la Obamaland), she’d do it. Folks, the woman has 1) no creativity, 2) no honesty, 3) no talent whatsoever, and 4) no morals. That’s why she and Bubba will never separate.

She would have left running with her head down to avoid the snipers.

Apparently, Hillary doesn’t want the issue to go away. She shouldn’t have said it now. She should wait for another 2-3 weeks.

LIE!

There is no way to prove this. It’s a hypothetical. But she lies so much that it is the default assumption.

You have to ask the question: If Obama was with this Rev. for 20 years, and was his Mentor and spiritual advisor all this time, and we have seen and heard what this Rev. said in public. The question is: What has he been mentoring and advising Obama in private?

"... In a highly publicized speech last week, Obama sharply condemned Wright's remarks..."

He did? Sharply, yet?

Says who?

Yes, but we're looking for "walking out the door" here, not "spontaneously combusted during the sermon".

I was amazed at how many were defending Wright, and more to the point, saying that everything he was saying was true.

Now, Clinton disavows those beliefs? You’re right, this is going to piss off a big chunk of their base.

"I think that given all we have heard and seen, he would not have been my pastor," Clinton said at a news conference in Greensburg, Pa., after being asked if Obama should have left the church.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement, "It's disappointing to see Hillary Clinton's campaign sink to this low in a transparent effort to distract attention" from her acknowledgment that she had exaggerated an account of a hostile reception in Bosnia as first lady in 1996.

This is true popcorn fodder, my FRiends. HRC is asked a legitimate question, answers it (truthfully or not is for the listener to gauge, given all the evidence to date of the veracity of the former First Lady), and then is torched (even I might grant, a little unfairly) by the BHO spokesman who claims she is using the topic to distract us from yet another legitimate question.

Man, it's fun to be a conservative these days!

I have to say that Clinton wins this one on substance. Not only that, I think she’s telling the truth! I think she would have left a church where the pastor preached like Wright. She’s would have seen the political liability of remaining there.

Obama wouldn’t join such a church today, but for most of the past 20 years, he could depend on the dinosaur media to keep the existence of Wright a secret from the electorate. I am sure that even five years ago, Obama didn’t foresee Youtube.

You never would’ve been welcome in the first place, Hillary.

You don’t have a deep enough tan.
