Mayor Michael Nutter Tells ABC News He Would Have Quit Church if His Pastor Made Such Remarks.
Sen. Hillary Clinton's most prominent African-American supporter in Pennsylvania says that had he been a member of Sen. Barack Obama's church, he would have left because of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's fiery and controversial sermons.
"I think there's no room for hate, and I could not sit and tolerate that kind of language, and especially over a very long period of time," said Philadelphia's newly elected mayor...
"If I were in my own church and heard my pastor saying some of those kinds of things," ...
Asked by Muir if he would he have quit Obama's church, Nutter said, "Absolutely."
Wright preached that the U.S brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism." He also said the government "wants us to sing 'God Bless America'" but that it should be "God damn America" ...
Obama condemned the comments, but said he could not "disown" Wright.
Nutter voiced outrage that the Democratic Party is opposed to counting the Michigan and Florida primaries because both states scheduled the elections early in the primary season, against party rules. Clinton won those primaries

>Nutter met with both senators before deciding his endorsement.
He brushes aside those who say he did not back Obama because Obama endorsed someone else for mayor.
Uh huh...
Or to paraphrase the Rev. Wright, the identity politics chickens of the democrat party, have come home to roost.
My thoughts exactly: if Obama believed what he heard from Wright for 20 years then I question his judgement; if Obama supported (for 20 years) a preacher he didn’t believe in I question his integrity.
Of course the Obama campaign is not the only ones airbrushing their website due to the sudden scrutiny of Reverend Doctor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. and his flock.
As we noted back in January of 2007, the pastor’s church used to explain themselves thusly (via the Internet Wayback Machine):

Thanks for the pings.
>>> It’s good to see men like this man <<<
Mayor Nutter is a very decent honest man. I would vote for him over any other Dem....
The Clintons will end up doing the dirty work that McCain won’t do.
More important than the Rev JWright issue, Obama has promised to raise capital gains taxes to 28%.
IN 52 SECS WHY BARACK OBAMA CANNOT WIN A GENERAL ELECTION

Of all the people to pick up King’s torch and run, it had to be Jesse Jackson.
Gotta be one of history’s worst “right place, right time” scenarios.
He single-handedly paved the way for the destruction of everything King worked for.
Having knowledge of that, why would anyone in their right mind, and possessing basic DNA survival chromosomes, allow him to assume the Highest Office in the land - which would give him life and death power over every man and woman in our nation's armed forces and assuredly over everyone of us, our families, our descendants?
Obama agrees with his minister.
Well, it's an amazing country, our United States of America. But it seems some blacks don't see it that way even though it's absolutely true. Americans have gotten away from seeing and seeking truth.
What really needed to be done is to remove the pastor from the church regarding his unChristian (and unAmerican) comments. If that didn’t happen, then you remove yourself from the church.
But, you ALWAYS start with the pastor.
A form of Black madrassas right here in the U.S. I won't even get into the prisons as a place for Blacks to become disaffected Muslims. That's a whole other serious problem that brings Black and Muslim full circle.
I understand that and completely agree. Just shows that the problems aren’t going to be changed because the membership agreeds with what is being said.
Gives hate crimes a whole new meaning, doesn’t it.
Personally, those churches should loose their IRS tax status. If you hit them in the wallet, they will get rid of their pastors.
And, even more telling, is there is no indication that anyone in the church asked for Wright’s removal!!!
