If Barack Obama were a white Republican and attended a church that preached white supremacy he would have already been forced to quit the race.
What a nut job Obama is influenced by. I can see why his wife routinely makes anti-american statements..Just think people if this Obama ever got into the White hOuse we would be history..they would think of any and ever excuse to get rid of all the whities..

And I always wondered why so many blacks are killing whites and raping women I really think that it has to do with racist preacher like this stupid moron..

Let's not forget the company that Hillary has kept, and how cozy the Clintons were with the Arafats. Let's not forget national security for sale to China. Let's not forget the fact that if it would help them get out the vote Hillary and Bill would both be in the same church Obama goes to and pretending to be moved by the services. I don't want either of them, but Hillary, and the Clintons as a ‘team’ are much, much, much more destructive and dangerous than Obama could ever be. Let's run against Obama and win.

Imagine if GWB was close to, or even once in the same room with, a preacher like this in 2000.

The double standards are really starting to strain credibility here.

Hillary has no chance of being elected. Obama, on the other hand, does have a chance, because this country if full of fools and Oprah luvs him. If you want to be preparing your daughters’ burqas in a couple of years, vote Obama.

People who think they’re being cute by voting for Obama are setting themselves up for a serious shock.

The senator’s insistence that he was unaware of Wright’s bizarre views until just recently has been scoffed at by a spokeswoman for Senator Hillary’s campaign. “He says he’s a regular church-goer,” said Naomi Harridan, co-chair of Clinton’s Pennsylvania campaign. “He’s been listening to this crap for 20 years. He can’t not have known.”

Obama challenged Harridan’s contention by asserting that “like many of my fellow parishioners and, I dare say, many church-goers across America, I’ve slept through the vast majority of the sermons.”

He definitely has a better chance. Hillary is not popular even with women, as many polls have shown.

Anyone know when was the first time Obama condemned Wright’s statements?

Is there any record prior to April 2007, or is “When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign. I made it clear at the time that I strongly condemned his comments.” another lie?

Hillary is extremely easy to defeat. Nobody has high negs like her. First Lady experience is not Presidential experience. She hasn’t done anything important in the Senate in 8 years. She’s not a leader by any means.

All I’m saying is that this issue is big enough to take Obama down. We were looking around for something that may be able to cunter the illogical, irrational ‘movement’ for him, this can do it. 20 years in a black racist church (but he doesn’t believe THAT) yet his wife seems to say these things, and they haven’t stopped going there....) is a HUGE issue and he knows it.

This one can’t be schmoozed over or ducked. Race card ain;t gonna save him on this.

Contrary to Claims, Obama Very Close With Racist Preacher, Wright

Just What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons? (Plenty)!

“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”

Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.

“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”

“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”

Okay I meant “counter” before anyone says anything.

Does anyone else have a laptop with a finger controlled mouse that sometimes catches the shadow of a finger or thumb and it totally moves the cursor to a different part of what you already typed? That’s what happened there. I had to delete what I had typed and apparently took the “o” by mistake.

Absolutely! What if McCain attended a church where the pastor was a vehement supporter of the KKK. Imagine McCain saying, “I attended the church for 20 years, yes, I am a member of the church, the pastor baptized my wife and I, my children also. However, I don’t agree with the pastor on everything he has said. I didn’t even know he was a KKK member myself. Where would the media be on this? Their hypocrisy is evident. Like the emperor with no clothes and those who don’t see it, simply don’t want to see it.
