#1 Folks that follow Obama are all about excusing away all of these issues. Throwing it back on us for condemning it. Really unbelievable stuff.

Just reading the credo of the Trinity church is pretty controversial. Wright just reinforces it with his preaching (if you want to call it that).

#2 Let's see, who else do we know that uses the "It was a misunderstanding" meme?

#3 Just another reverand whose bible is not the one from God, but the one from the liberal hate America and God segment of society. He hates whites, even white Christians (followers of Christ) and Israel (God's chosen people). Both stances violate Old and New testament laws, statutes and commandemnts.

#5 Here' what he doesn't "hate;" Your ability to fund midnight basketball, finance black college full-ride tuition, pay restitution, compensation, 40 acres, mules, etc. Stoked for decades by the liberal government affirmative action blame game, that's what it's always been about, that's what it will always be about. Folks have been listening to this rubbish for so long they have come to believe it or are fully desensitized. Unfortunately, the Obama momentum is such now that if he loses, I fear we're in for some real social trouble.

#6 He also argues that the furor surrounding Wright smacks of a general attack against the idea of a black church born during slavery.

The Race Card^TM. Don't leave home without it!

#7 "Taken out of context" - like you accepted that line as a defense from another Senator, Trent Lott. The ruled class not buy the Lib mantra of 'one set of rules for thee and another set of rules for me'? Your Platinum Guilt Card(tm) is over the limit sir.

#9 My dad, the retired Lutheran Pastors, thinks the politics and racism in these sermons and this church should cause them to lose their religious tax-exempt status.

#10 "The whole point to Dr. Wright's sermons is to how do you make America a better America. If anything he's a true patriot"

The USA created AIDS to kill black people?
Blacks are superior to whites?
Farrakhan is worthy of an award?

Tell me how these things make America better. Stormfront couldn't be more racist than this guy.

And tell me why Wright himself isn't saying one word to the press about any of this? He sure had a lot to say over the course of 20 years. Does he only speak to black people? Why are Obama and others his apologists?

Besoeker, am I the only one here seeing the similarity with the european decolonization of africa, north and subsaharan, and the relationship with former colonies (through foreign policies, AND, mostly through mass immigration from said former colonies), IE an explosive mix-up between a sense of grievance, a sense of entitlement, and plain resentment, met with a force-fed/enforced guilt from the other side? And, as for the USA, this particular negative and ultimately very harmful IMHO trend was not at all unavoidable, quite the contrary, it was cultivated by the same marxists/progressives strain, for ideological reasons, and for profit (many demagogues have built their career on that).
To me, there's an obvious parallal to be made between race relations in the USA since the civil rights era, and in race relations between ethnic europeans and migrants in Europe. Quite a waste.

#15 What is most important about Wright and his relationship to OHB is the consistent message that America is bad. Same message we get from Mrs. Obama. Same message he got when he grew up with his hippy mom. That is just not good. If he becomes president, he is going to go into every situation with a starting point perspective that America is at fault and so must make concessions. He is not going to defend what he doesn't love or respect. This stuff clearly runs very deeply in OBH. It is not going to go away and I don't think he is going to be able to 'splain it away. The curtain has started to be pulled back and what we see is down right scary!

#17 Telling people that they are taking it out of context when they have just watched the video is just making it worse. That's adding the insult of being a dumbass onto the heap.

Obama First White House Contender to Demand Imus Firing after Racial Comments

April 11, 2007

In an interview with ABC News Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., called for the firing of talk radio host Don Imus. Obama said he would never again appear on Imus' show, which is broadcast on CBS Radio and MSNBC television.

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."
