I totally do not understand this. Maybe I do not understand religion as well as he does ... (You have to read the whole article. I left a lot out.

Every time that I’ve heard the “GD” clip played, I heard the line,”...“And that’s in the Bible.” The Rev. must be thinking about something else.

Does it get any better after the part you excerpted? ‘Cause I almost tossed a cookie getting that far. Ridiculous excuses for absurdly expressed hatred. And Wright was Obama’s pastor/spiritual mentor/adviser for 20 years whether he attended lots of sermons or not.

Bush should find a Republican spiritual advisor. But perhaps it’s too late

May I live long enough to hear a black criticize a black leader! Probably once in a thousand years. The black populace is very intimidated by such as Al and Jesse!

too bad the “spiritual advisor” sees it as he does, I don’t agree but will not belabor the points he feels are worth working to elect a vessel for liberalism, but everyone is free to their opine.

All you have to do is make Rev. Wright white; make him McCain’s close spiritual adviser; and have him mimicking black people, Hispanic people, and Asian people.

There wouldn’t be a person on the planet who would defend him or try to find some religious rationalization for what he said. The media would be in meltdown. The Democrats would use him in campaign commericials.

What we as Americans have to do is treat Rev. Wright exactly the way we’d treat any white person who said the things he did.

Making excuses or rationalizing bad behavior from non-whites is the textbook definition of racism.

THE POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS WHORES ARE STARTING TO SURFACE, CHOOSING RACE OVER MORALITY, GODLINESS AND PATRIOTISM.

"Everybody keeps saying, “Well, he sat there for 20 years." For starters, he didn’t sit there for 20 years, right? He’s been a member for 20 years. He’s not sat there for 20 years. For three years, he was in law school. Another eight years, he was in the state senate, and another three years--or three years, really now four--he’s been in the US senate. I don’t mean to split hairs on this, but it hasn’t been 20 years."

How about 20 years worth of Sundays? Everyone else in the world who goes to church manages to work and go to church. Quit making excuses for Obama. He sat there for 20 years worth of Sundays, shouting "Amen" to Racist Wrights Sunday racist sermons. Wright: "God damn America!" Obama: "Amen" Wright: "American wwhitey invented aids to kill blacks!" Obama: "Amen".

I, too, do not profess to be an expert on the Bible, but it seems to me it was written before 1492, right? Wouldn’t any reference to America be one hell of a good guess?

Now, it’s not written that way in English, but the Hebraic expression basically says this: if America makes itself and views itself as God, and not Yahweh, or the Lord God Almighty as God, then America basically is committing adultery, and then America is darning itself.

The metaphor falls on its face. It isn't true that America makes itself and views itself as God. This is just a kinder gentler anti-American prejudice. At least Rev Wright isn't pissing on our backs and telling us its raining. This guy is.

Here is how he describes his relationship as a “spiritual advisor”:

“ How often have you been in touch during his second term? Eight or nine times a year?. I typically call him. He seldom calls me”

Sounds like just another hustler to me!

While the differences between President Bush and Senator Obama are very, very clear, allow me to share with you what their commonalities are. One, they have deep, resolute loyalty to their country, to their families, and to their God. They are both Christians.

But I bet President Bush can't do this...
 
Obama: Man of the World
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

Complete total garbage. No wonder President Jorge acts the way he does sometimes.
