But what was said was political and racist. I think anyone from Chicago who knows the President and makies a racist comment about the President would be worthy of political discussion. jmo

Wow! With all those outrageous statements, videos of sermons, etc, etc,..that Rev. Wright makes, I wonder if they might prevent Barack Obama from an overwhelming victory over McCain/Palin in November's Presidential election?

I have to ask, why did Bush give Wright's church $1,500,000.00 for? what kinda faith based service did tax payers get from Wright's church? that is a lot of our tax money, what did we get for it in return?

That is too funny. It is as amusing as when the left tried to excuse his hateful rhetoric as being typical of Black Liberation theology, it was a one time event, it was taken out of context, etc.

No matter what silliness they come up with, every time this opens his mouth his true feelings are exposed.

actually Obama was lucky mccain and palin also had preacher problems of their own and the right could not make a bigger deal of this then they tried to and it seems some on the right are still trying too

They certainly have a bigger audience than Wright does.

imho
Omigosh Bunny, ROFLMBO..now I think I've heard everything!!
just because you don't like what those men say about your "guy", doesn't mean it isn't true in many cases. And doesn't it give you some kind of message about the mainstream americans, that the men you've mentioned have a MUCH bigger audience than their very left counterparts?

What gives me a message about "mainstream Americans" (using your exclusionary language) is that we elected Barack Obama.

Quite literally and honestly, he did so only when it was politically expedient, Lisa.

he put down the mans message from the get go, he only put down the man when the video's surfaced, we all know Obama thought of the man as a old uncle that sometimes went off the deep end and yes he had to denounce that old uncle do to political reasons because the man was trying to use his success to spread his words when he went over the deep end and if Obama did not cut the man lose it would damage his career and all the help he could do for this nation, he had to put country first

makes you wonder why the bush admin gave his church 1.5 million of our tax dollars don't it, guess the religious right just isn't that picky when it comes to handing out our money to Christian churches

FBCI funding (Faith Based Funding) bush was funding his faith and he was using our tax dollars to do it - that is so unAmerican
