#1 OK...I call BS. Big, steaming piles of BS. Obama has outted himself as a fraud and lier. He attended that church for 20 years yet never heard those words? Sorry, but this is who Wright is...a racist demogogue to the core. In public, and therfore almost for certain in private, he exudes the most vile of racist and anti-semetic tendencies. Herr Wright doesn't just infer these beliefs in an oblique fasion...he shouts them repeatedly until he has nearly lost his voice. It has taken nearly a year of blogosphere activity to bring this to the surface. The pressure needs to continue. Between Obama and Hillary, at least with the Hildabeast we know what we're getting. With Obama... we don't know much, but what we are learning is very ugly indeed.

#2 "I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy"

NO you don't, at least deep inside. You feel this way exactly, you just don't want to speak it outwardly because you know that it will hurt your chances of election.

There's too much of a pattern of behavior here for anyone to believe that "God damn America" is anything other than precisely how BOH approaches the universe. That people still support him is a measurement, to one extent or another, of how much they hate America in concept and practice as well.

You can't go to see the preachings of a race arsonist like Rev. Wright for decades and not have at least some of his philosophy wear off on you.

#4 As Wright put it, Hillary ain't never been called a nigger! Hillary has never had her people defined as non-person."

Wright wrong again.

#5 I read a post over the weekend. Don't think it was here at RB, but can't recall exactly where I read it.

Anyway, the poster quoted the Rev. Wright as saying something to the effect that racist America would NEVER elect a black man to the highest office in the land.

The poster noted the irony: A black man in America, Obama, was most assuredly on a roll to become the Dem Party candidate for Prez in America, but the WORDS of the black preacher of hate, Rev. Wright, and Obama's close association to Rev. Wright, would be the cause of Obama's fall from grace.

The irony is delicious. A racist white America didn't take down Obama. A racist black preacher did.

#6 I assume the pic was chosen for the Alfred E Newmann resemblance.

#7 All the talk shows have had black defenders of Rev. Wright, saying all the quotes are taken out of context and it is what everyone would hear in black churches across the country! One woman said "but that's how we really think! Why is it so hard for you to accept it?"...I think black supremacy is a much more widespread problem than anyone has realized, even beyond Farrakhan's influence. This could be exploited all too easily and turned into a racial divide. Even the preacher has missed the foundational point of the Christian gospel in the first place--it has nothing to do with the color of our skin, but with our hearts. Rightly understood, the church should be the place of love and acceptance as equals born into the human race, as all are in need of God's love and grace, and the preaching of this truth is the solution to hateful doctrine.

#8 1988 to the present is a long time to figure out what your church and pastor are about.

#9 1988 to the present is also a long time to have been violating the IRS code by preaching politics while filing as an non political non profit.

Can turn something "into" something that it already is.

#11 if obama doesn't believe in what the rev says then why would he attend such church, good fried chicken afterward?

#12 FOX's MORT KONDRACHE > WRIGHT is a "BLACK NATIONALIST", which is consistent wid Wright's own admitted beliefs-adherence to "BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY". Wright himself proclaims that BLACK PRIDE [race/ethnic] is NOT specifically or harmfully DISCRIMINATORY AGZ NON-BLACKS = OTHER RACES???

In his HANNITY-COLMES interview on FNC this past weekend, WRIGHT DEMANDED TO KNOW FROM HANNITY HOW MANY BOOKS ON BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY HAD HANNITY READ.

IMO, BARACK's newly announced upcoming speech on the WRIGHT controversy? is actually meant to offset/counter his WEAK UNCONVINCING INTERVIEW PERFORMANCE on FNC - for me, WRIGHT issues are just PCover for that. B.O. DIDN'T DO/LOOK GOOD ON FNC, AND HE = CAMPAIGN STAFF KNOWS IT. METHINKS ITS ALSO SAFE TO SAY THAT MICHELLE "HELL HATH NO FURY/BILL CLINTON + SOVIET TANK ARMIES RETREAT IN FEAR WHEN SHE STARTS POINTING HER FINGERS" OBAMA KNOWS IT TOO.

#13 Give Obama a break! I'm sure he never heard Wright say anything offensive.

Also, I didn't know that woman was a hooker. Sure, I gave her money and spent time in a hotel room together, but nothing happened. If I'd known she was a hooker, I would have left immediately.
