Re: Obama Camp Enraged over Wright Ad; Over $8 Million Raised at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2122499/posts
Other pro-Obama supporters are claiming Obama was not really that close to Rev. Wright and that we are exaggerating the relationship.
Tell us all about it, Barry.
The linked page is from Archive.org, and it shows that Barry accepted testimonials from Wright and also Michael "There were a whole lot of white people crying" Pfleger.

I’m concerned by issues of poverty and issues of justice and equal access and opportunity especially when dealing with children and education and healthcare. Also, the war in Iraq is non-negotiable: end it! The faith community has to be a prophetic voice to bring us to where we ought to be as a country. Its voice should call every individual to be their best and not assimilate into anything less. Obama is calling back those who have given up and lost hope in the political system both young and old in the belief that we can fix it. He has the intellect for the job and I haven’t heard anyone since Robert F. Kennedy who is causing such an emotional and spiritual awakening to the political possibilities.

Dear Father Michael:
Since you referenced Robert Kennedy in your plea, may I inform you that Barack Nobama has praised Sirhan Sirhan in the forward to the book PRAIRIE FIRE, which is a Weather Underground publication.
You cannot have it both ways, Father.
At this moment in time, you are a disgrace to your wearing of the cloth.
It was Bill Ayers’ Weather Underground who dedicated a book to Sirhan Sirhan, not Obama.
From Fox News, October 30, 2008:
This is a rush transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," October 30, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: And there is another breaking development tonight concerning the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. Now "Hannity & Colmes" has, in fact, obtained a copy of this book. It is written by Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn in 1974. It's called "Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism."
Now this book proved very difficult to obtain. Even in the New York City Public Library, one of the largest libraries in the world could not provide us with a copy of this book.
Now the book reads like a manifesto of the Weather Underground but the most shocking thing is on the dedication page. Mr. Ayers and his band of terrorists devote the book to, quote, "all political prisoners in the U.S.," and the book then lists about 100 or so names.
Among the names they list a U.S. political prisoner, Sirhan Sirhan. That's right. This college professor, who is just a guy from the neighborhood who never meant to hurt anybody, who bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol, New York City police headquarters, dedicated his book to the man who assassinated Robert F. Kennedy.
Terrorists are the people in his neighborhood. They're the people that you meet when you're just working on the street each day.
Who are the people in Obama's neighborhood,
in his neighbiorhood,in his neighborhood.
"This is a guy [Bill Ayers] who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English..."
