And she'd nail down the Loretta Hickock constituency as well!

did you watch the video?

This does not go in the "vile and vicious" attack column, it goes in the "America has a right to know" column.

All voters have the right and should see these videos.  (and they WILL once he's the nominee,just believe that as true)  

Then Obama can voice some defense of this, of his support and involvement in this church, and make crystal clear his own views as they digress from Wright.  

Good luck with that, by the way.

Hillary is not promoting the story you reference nor are many Hillary supporters pushing it. You may have noticed my comment about it. Maybe not.

Please rephrase your broad assumption which has no basis in reality.

have all made similar statements of hate speech. Republicans court these guys like McCain has courted each of them. Concern trolling much?

seems to be "It's OK for black people to be racists, because they have been treated badly". Not that I'm saying they haven't been treated badly, because they have. But if you have ever been dirt poor, you will understand when I say that the USA treats some whites badly, as well. I don't agree with prejudice from either group.

It is child abuse in my opinion.

You have it exactly. There is no defense for this.

Now, now.  This is where Obama's vaunted excellent judgement comes in to play. Obviously, we're just too dumb to understand how great this pastor is.

Oprah does go to the same church, along with the Marsalis Family and Common.

what a guilt-by-association fallacy is.  You have no evidence of Wright's influence on Obama's views; your argument mainly boils down to "Obama is bad because a racist likes him".

  20 yrs once a week is a lifetime of brainwashing.

I would find them offensive 40 years ago.

Hells bells, 40 years ago, I was 20 years old, the civil rights movement was raw, and I would have thought he was inciting rebellion! or worse!

I don't "blame" Rev. Wright now.  I just personally don't agree with some of the remarks.  I feel sure that he's made lots more very inspiring remarks.  

I cannot and will never be able to understand the experience of an African American.  I can try, I can empathize, but I will never be black and KNOW what it feels like.  I can tell you this much - from what I've seen, it's horrible.

And the bad part, the white supremist racist bastards are going to be on this earth spewing hatred of black people for...ever.

Right now, in the white Christian churches I attended, past tense - attended, I heard so much hate speech both from the pulpit and from the pews of Muslims.  I've been thoroughly indoctrinated in the theology of supporting Israel.  I had to walk away.  God Himself hasn't "rubberstamped" the Israelites actions, why should I?  

They have pounded in that scripture that says, "I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you".  When I went back to reread it, God was talking Abraham.  Many times the Bible says that when he talked to Abraham, the promise was to his children as well because Isaac "was in his loins".  Well, so was Ishmael and so was Esau.

They have taken that scripture and extended it to mean America is blessed because it blessed and blesses Israel.  Soooo, America is blessed .... and so we're right?  Not so fast.  How many times has Israel AND my country been absolutely WRONG in their judgments and actions?  God doesn't bless wrong.  In fact, the Bible says that He judges those who espouse His tenets more harshly.

Including others in the "I will bless those who bless you" is line with the teachings of Christ.

I did digress .... but I answered your question.  You may not like my answer but I was honest.

Rev. Wright is NOT running for President.  Obama is.  There's no way around this.  He is going to be greatly impacted by the fact that he sat under the teachings of Rev. Wright for x period of time.  And because of the "He's a Muslim" crappola that went around, he's had to avow his Christian beliefs over and over.  So, he's attached himself strongly to Rev. Wright.

I don't know how this is going to play out.  I really don't.

I just know if the situation were reverse, Hillary or McCain would be in serious trouble.  Ferraro wasn't her spiritual leader and look how much trouble Hillary's in for what Ferraro said.  And then they found where she has said something similar about Jesse Jackson.  Bad for Hillary.  People wrote over and over that Hillary "sent Ferraro out" to spew the racial statements to cause a political racial divide.  I don't know that she did or didn't.  I would be totally disgusted if I found for certain that she did!!!!  Will not the same apply to Obama?  

Of course not. 40 years ago things were a lot different. And this particular white man was on the side of the civil rights leaders. Still am. I never supported the fringe groups violence though. Still don't.

I haven't a clue. Sounds like an interesting expose though.

What I am saying is that this could have ended with Axelrod calling Ferraro and asking her to either back off from her remarks or change them. They are long term associates and that is what adults do. He instead chose to exploit the situation and make public accusations about her to "help" his candidate.

 exactly.

Unfortunately not. They must be benefiting from this financially or they wouldn't be doing it. I'm not sure just exactly where the money is coming from.

LOL!

I am a HUGE Al Gore fan and would have been supporting him if he had decided to get into this.

Thank you!

It isn't my fault that people are being bamboozled and hoodwinked by Obama.

 I would think even many of the AAs who initially preferred HRC, then got excited when BHO became viable and went to him, may go back to HRC after hearing his pastor spewing damnation from his pulpit.  Doesn't sound like a very loving faith, and many AAs might not like this either.
