"I’d say Jeremiah Wright’s chickens have come home to roost, to quote Jeremiah Wright."

Indeed, and those chickens are crapping all over Obambi's chickens##t "unity" campaign!! Obambi frequently preaches against "those that divide us" -- well I'd say this ranting racist Afromaniacal "preacher" is clearly a force for social division and not for "unity"

And when Obama announces, “The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation,”

The Rev Wright was not just OOObammaaa’s pastor and his friend. He was also his MENTOR - my dictionary defintion >> “A wise and faithful adviser or tutor.” This advise/tutoring would have occurred in private meetings, not on Sunday am during church services.

This is what needs to be focused on - what did Wright advise him on as his MENTOR. OOObammaaa should have to take a lie detector test in conjuction with what he was “mentored” on.

If you read this, then put in a call to Rush/Hannity/Boortz/Levin/Savage, et al asking them to focus on this aspect of their relationship and to ask for lie detector tests be done on this miserable piece of liberal crap.

How do you like this Obama quote?

“During this holiday season and during this political season I’m continually reminded that the values that I learned at Trinity and as part of the UCC community are values that can’t just stay in church but have to be applied outside of church,” he said.

Maybe that was McCain? I don't remember. I hope I didn't post it! I read Hanson almost all of the time. Maybe my memory is going.

Hanson is exactly right. It's all very clear now. Obama has listened to Wright for 20 years and his anti American rhetoric rubbed off on Obama. He did not put his hand over his heart, because he hates America too. Michelle hates America and that is why she said she had never been proud of her country until it did something good for Obama. They're all a bunch of anti American, racists!

I think Reverend Wright is checkmate for the democratic party. After reading some of the forums on CNN it is clear that the Democrats are in panic. Not simply over this but over the whole war of words between Hillary and Obama. However, the write issue suddenly makes them realize that Obama may be unelectable, but they have already traveled too far down the Obama road. Obama has too many delegates for the party to switch to Hillary, and everyone is now blaming Hillary for bringing out all of this dirt. It is interesting to read comments by Rats which show incredible hatred toward the Clintons. They sound like Freepers during the 90s. They could go with Hillary now but half of them hate here. Many are saying they will vote for McCain. I don’t think the real damage has yet been done but the Rats are in a tailspin and it is hard to see how they get out of it. If they nominate Hillary all hell will break loose, but they are beginning to wonder if Obama is too controversial to win, and it is all Hillary’s fault.

Great observation. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Obama’s explanations thus far are so absurd as to be totally incredulous by anyone capable of thinking. I can’t wait to see how he worms his way out of this one. The cat is kind of out of the bag at this point. Can’t rebottle the genie on this one. What will be most interesting is to see how many of the Obamites continue drinking his kool-aid...

They are gonna say that this attack on the holy one came from the right wingnuts but I have the feeling that for independents and more moderate democrats, the effect of the kool-aid is wearing off. There must be panic at the DNC right about now. Hillary (tainted allready) and Barak (radioactive) and now a major rift in the Democratic Party because of the the Clintons introduction of identity politics into the campaign.

Most of Black America left the plantation for Obama’s camp in Hope for Real Change. The Democratic Party has for years exploited Black America with the promise of a better tomorrow constantly reinforcing the idea that the party has their best interest at heart while creating programs which make them more dependent and unable to reach their full potential. Constantly feeding their sense of victimhood, resentment, and entitlement and exploiting these feelings to keep them on the farm. Now maybe the chickens are returning to the roost.

As I understand it, Obama was a member since 91, so 16+ years is a long time to attend a church (semi-regularly) and never hear the Good Reverend Wright never go off on one of his rants. What are the odds? It may very well end up being a hot summer.

Hanson is beyond brilliant. He may see things a bit differently as new facts are revealed . Very logical of him actually. Oh how I wish a guy like VDH would run for office.

The MSM will let him slide. Most people are so dumb they will fall for whatever excuse he gives. I’m not as optimistic as many here on concerning Obama’s fate . We have had so many chances to discredit Dems in the past few years and have never once cashed in on it . What makes anyone think we;ll do it now?

I hope your observations are right.

This is even beyond the election.

It’s about chickens coming home to roost after over 3 decades now of the serious race baiting of whites by everyone....not just blacks and not just dems.

getting beyond this crap is only the first step in recovery for the black community and America

We let this crap Obama and his preacherman advocate continue to stand without consequence for the vile crap it is and we are lost.....and will deserve it.

Have to agree. Was just over reading forums on CNN and they are still drunk on the kool-aid.

I agree with your comments. The Dems have put themselves in a deep hole. Libs I work with were and maybe still are on the Obama train because even they are sick of the Clintons and can’t stand the thought of them back in the White House. The realization that Obama, his crazy wife and their nutjob Pastor actually come from the Farakhan school of Black separatism and racisim has rocked them!

The so-called dream team of Hillary and Obama will never happen either. I expect Hillary will find a way to grab the nomination but Obama has turned into too much of a liability to even think about having him on the ticket.

With Obama off the ticket, blacks and those suffering from Clinton fatigue will stay home. Hello President McCain! Politics is a crazy, crazy business.

This is such garbage. I have a close relationship to may pastor and ask him about his thoughts on all kinds of issues and topics. Obama SAYS that Wright is his spiritual mentor and greatest friend BUT he NEVER heard Wright say this stuff to him personally? Hogwash!!!!! They probably went out back behind the church with some Courvoisier and cigarettes and railed against America ever time they got together.
