  • American Citizen - 16 years ago

    It doesn't really matter what any of you all think about Obama because whether you like it or not...HE will most likely be your next PRESIDENT...:]
    It seems that everyone that has posted their comments here are only responding on all the negative issues of Obama. What about McCain?? The only difference between him and Obama is McCain's trash hasn't been dumped yet. Before i wrote this comment, I read all of the ones below and they all read that Obama's racist. However, I will guarentee that 94% of the people who commented have distributed a little racism or prejudicy. So before you LEND AN OPINION, LET'S SEE IF YOU EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT...LOL...:]
    LOOK IN A DICTIONARY...INFORMATION comes befores SPECULATION...:]
    Just think about it..whose mouth did all the racial and segregated comments come from..??? NOT MR. OBAMA. GET OVER IT...racism isn't going anywhere for a super duper long time...Racism is like, teachers getting the lowest income: ITS RIDICULOUS AND IT'S NOT CHANGING!!!!

    A lot of you Americans don't seen to be able to spell very well. I suggest that you might use a dictionary in the future or even a spell check.

    Fox news is notorious for it's conservative views. I live in Ireland and even I am aware of that fact, so not sure what that astonished person is referring to. .

    And just so you know, that whilst so many people sympathised with Americians after 9/11; an awful lot of people also thought well isn't it about time.
    You're Attrocious Foreign Policy for so many decades is catching up with you. ( don't any of you people even read)
    Also I've often had to go to church as a duty and left with not a clue of what was said.
    Wake up ye ejits, and stop wasting your time on hate.

    Wake up America, and smell what Obama's cooking! How are so many of you be so blind to the implications of this man’s choices? Obama’s rhetoric and his charisma are causing you to ignore his choice of pastor for his family, his choice of a wedding minister, his choice for baptizing his children?
    Wright is not just a recent (poorly though out) choice, but he has been central in Barrack’s life over the past TWO DECADES? Not having left this “minister” and not having denounced his anti-American feelings, we should take a deep breath and a new look at Barrack; he is obviously NOT the best candidate for the KIND of changes we need in this country.

  • CAM - 16 years ago

    MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED FOR THIS COUNTRY---- AND MAYBE ITS NOT PERFECT BUT ITS STILL THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,--- I'M PROUD TO BE A AMERICAN ----WHAT I'AM NOT PROUD IS OF PEOPLE LIKE REV WRIGHT AND ANYONE WHO FEELS THAT IS OKAY TO SPEAK THAT WAY ABOUT OUR COUNTRY----IF YOU FEEL THAT ITS NOT A FAIR AND JUST PLACE TO LIVE --GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY AND LIVE ELSEWHERE -----MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA ALWAYS AND KEEP US SAFE

  • militarywifeanddaughter - 16 years ago

    #1292Dolores: That was interesting about Obama home and Rezko. I pity some African Americans because they always look up to the likes of "RICH" blacks who have done absolutely nothing for them. Sharpton just likes his big mug in the paper, Jackson is a racist, Feracon is orbiting somewhere in his space ship and the Black Panthers are one of the biggest hate mongering groups in this country. I've never hear 1 NOT 1 say thanks to the men and women who died for them during the Civil War. Makes me sad and sick. This nation is all about me me me. Give me Give me Give me. What about the abortion issue which both Hillary and Obama believe in. The killing of Babys. Why not talk about that issue. I heard the so call rev. wright endorse the woman's right to kill her baby. What appalls me is that he actually thinks and so do others, may I say WHO ATTEND CHURCH, that killing babys is ok. I weep for our nation and the babys who will never be born. Black and White. Does the Black community even care about these muredered babys, evidently NOT. NOT one has stood up to say I DO NOT believe that this right, AND that its murder. No minister, pastor, priest I have ever met WOULD EVER endorse the killing of a child. What gets me is that so called "Christians" will vote for Obama while stating and affirming their Christian beliefs. The only thing that we can be thank full for is That THe Lord Knows and "justice is mine sayeth the lord". I'm sure he's just so thrilled seeing people vote for a person who believes that the killing of a child is ok.

  • Dolores Fleming - 16 years ago

    This country will never elect a black man as president.We need to elect some one that will be able to get this country back after what BUSH has done to this country.We need some one who has been up in washington longer than one year and has even said that he never got into washington but he knew it needed a change.We need some one to be able to take the reigns from day one be it Mc Cain or Hillary.Obama has to much baggage with the Reveran Wright spilling Hatered for our country.His wifw Michelle was not even proud of our country until now as she has sai.It was good enough to get her into HARVARD,Obama too.The blacks still blame this country when this country has given the all the opertunities to better them selves.If they haven't bettered them selves by now they never will.I believe a lot of them are two lazy.Obama speaks to people like he is talking to a jury being he is a trial lawer.By the way Obama bought his million dollar MANSION from REZKO.REZKO evens owns the lot aside the Masion and it ir worth $625,000.00

  • militarydaughterandwife - 16 years ago

    Questions - forgive my typos. I meant that Obama being so close with Wright, like family. I for one don't want to take a chance. (my typing sure could be improved.

  • militarydaughterandwife - 16 years ago

    #1289 Questions, Are you not married if you don't wear a ring? Not necessarily and I understand what your trying to say, BUT, if your not wearing your wedding ring and behind your spouses back your sleeping with someone else......... Our Pastor once said "show me your friends and I'll show your your future". We usually befriend those of like mind so to be associated and not just friends here, but almost as close as family, one has to wonder whats deep in a persons heart. I for one don't want to take a choice. I don't always agree with those RUNNING my country, but "I LOVE" my country. The country as itself isn't to blame for those that lie and deceive. My feeling is that if you don't like where your living move somewhere else. I don't think you will speak to anyone who hasn't "felt" social injustice. Sometimes its true and sometimes its only perception NOT TRUTH. One has to really search to find that answer. Our emotions often cover up the truth and emotions don't have any place in electing someone to the highest post in the land, only fACTS.

  • Questions - 16 years ago

    I hear a lot of comments about our beloved America. But what if your experience with America is marked by socal injustice, and remember you don't have to be white or black to claim to be marginlized? Do you still love your country right or wrong? Do you love it or leave it, or hate it and hope it gets better? Do you hold your tounge about your problem and join the band wagon to fit in? Do you tell your country that it needs to be better or do you stroke its ego and act like it is perfect? Why does god have to pick sides? (If you bless one country do you automaticlly damn all other?) I meet people daily who stick with their religion because it is what they were taugh, even if you prove to them from the Bible it is wrong. Why lambast him for doing what the rest of the country does? Did anybody stop watching Pat Robertson after his comment about Sheron's stroke being an act of god? If your relative is a member of that church that protests at soilder funeral, do you disown them? If you don't wear your wedding ring are you not married just like if you don't wear a flag pin are you un American? If you want a change, don't you have to be dissatisfied with the status quo?!?!?! But bury your heads in the sand when we say that we are not happy and why and want a change.

  • vli - 16 years ago

    OBAMA will be known of as "the great DIVIDER".

    He should not be a member or Supporter of a Church that is racist, preaches hate, and slames American..... I call this HYPOCRITICAL....He know cannot profess to be the "UNITER"

    All other nationalities have spoken!!!!

  • quick - 16 years ago

    They just said on Fox you can buy an Obama doll. I WONDER HOW MANY FOOLS ARE GOING TO WASTE THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THAT? Gee, I wonder if it will be holding its hand over its heart or wearing a "FLAG" lapel pin?? NOT! I think I'm going to go and puke now!

  • vli - 16 years ago

    We go to Church to feed the SOUL...and this is what the black community and Obama are feed with. This is dangerous for AMERICA to have a potential President support such hatred.

  • downwithobama - 16 years ago

    Now as Americans, we have to get ALL out to vote. ESPECIALLY if Obama gets the nomination.
    Those primaries would sure have turned out different if people had known that a racist bigot American hater was on the ballot!

  • vli - 16 years ago

    Thank the stars above most people get it... IT MATTERS that a prospective President is not affiliated with a Church and Reverend that is racist, preaches, hate, and slames America...IT's just wrong, and UNACCeptable... This is dangerous for America...This causes division between the blacks and all other nationalities.....You can't be a "uniter" if you support or are a member of a racist church, which preaches hate, and slames America.

  • TAMMY IN VA - 16 years ago

    THERE ARE MANY BLACKS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT ARE EXTREMELY RACIST YET WILL NEVER ADMIT IT. MAYBE THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T GET PAST THE RACE ISSUE.THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO CONCEDE TO THE FACT THEY ALOT OF THEM DISLIKE WHITES.IT SEEMS THE NEWS SPILLS OUT SMALL REMARKS THAT A WHITE PERSON SAYS AND IGNORES THE RACIST REMARKS OF A BLACK PERSON.SINCE WHEN DID ANY CANIDATE GET THIS CLOSE TO THE OVAL OFFICE WITHOUT THE COUNTRY KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT HIM?

    #!280 YEH!!!!!!!!!! Pennie is just another NON CHristian. You can always tell ones heart by their friends or people they support. Just think CAM, she gets to vote. SHUDDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • cam - 16 years ago

    I found this saying at our "Adoration Chapel" at the church that I attend.

    It's best to try and look at other from the inside out
    GOD makes everone's heart the same color----Franciscan Missions

    This is what church is all about-- love, forgiveness, acts of kindness, giving to the poor etc. ----not what Rev. Wright teaches.

  • IluvAmerica - 16 years ago

    Penne, its obvious you come from the same cesspool as Wright..
    Its not cool to say God Damn to people of the United States-G E T I T U N I T E D S T A T E S... YOU ARE TALKING NONSENSE AND BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU OBAMA IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN!!! WE AMERICANS DO NOT APPRECIATE PEOPLE THAT DO NOT LOVE AMERICA! So if you are an American you should go elsewhere and find a hole to crawl into. And if you are not an American then you should go back to where you came from and do us a favor don't come back

  • Pennie - 16 years ago

    I am appalled with all of this. To be attacking someone for being associated with a person that made outrageous remarks does not mean that those are there beliefs. I guess he is guilty by association. Well Hillary is no prize either then she is also guilty by association. Her own husband while President of this country faced impeachment due to a sexual scandal with an intern but everyone seems to turn a blind eye to that. I wonder if Hillary will follow in Bill's footsteps if she is elected president. I am sure their are a few male interns looking to further their careers. I live in Upstate NY and I am a dairy farmer and I can tell you all that Hillary as senator for NY did nothing for upstate NY although when you say New York most people think you are refering to the city. This country is going to hell in a handbasket. Everyone in this country better wakeup and smell what their shoveling. I am a white republican american and i am sick to death of all the politicians in this country. I would like to know where our FREEDOM went as our government seems to think they can control every aspect of our lives. We went to war to liberate Iraq- I want to know When we are going to stand up and LIBERATE ourselves from the death grip our government has on all of us.That Preist shouldn't have said GOD DAMN AMERICA - He Should Have said "GOD DAMN OUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!" If we don't elect a president that will make huge changes in this country AMERICA is going to continue on a downward spiral out of control. If you all think you can't dig up the same dirt on every other candidate you are not looking hard enough. They all have skeletons in the closet just look hard enough and you will find them. Former Governer Spitzer's skeletons came out and from what I understand him and Hillary were very good friends but nobody jumped on that bandwagon. Someone should question the friendship between Spitzer and Clinton. Our government is suppose to be for WE THE PEOPLE well as a taxpayer in the state of NEW YORK we have been over assessed on our school & town and county taxes for nine years. We have been fighting it for all nine years. Finally we got them to admit that YES we were being overassessed and YES we had overpaid but that we were only entitled to three years back for refund. We consulted a lawyer and were told that unfortunately it was not possible to sue as the assessor and all involved were public officials. SO I SAY LOUD AND CLEAR--GOOD DAMN THE POLITICIANS AND GOD DAMN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Patti - 16 years ago

    Obama did himself no favors in his defensive speech yesterday. It was obvious to most Americans in his early speeches right after the story broke he was lying. He only verified it and tried to justify it yesterday. He heard those inflamatory speeches all those 20 years and said nothing. Just kept going to that "church" listening to the same racist crap every week. If this was a "white" church, the candidate would be out on a rail, like David Duke.
    And #1249 Ted, it has been obvious for sometime who these liberal idiot newcasters are supporting: their own pal, Obama. I am truly surprised they have turned on Hillary, though. We Republicans are used to our candidates being treated this way. And yes, they have done their best to either ignore this story or to work hard at damage control to save their pal.

  • viewpoint - 16 years ago

    MUTEE08: Maybe you can go for therapy along with that nut DallasTexas. My black dog is still running for office!!!!!! YEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    People like you ARE THE TRUE RACISTS IN THIS US OF A. Idiots both of you -of course maybe you havn't learned to read or write so can't do investigations like "normal" Americans who are voting for the person running the Highest Office In The Land.
    Voting on color - you and people like you are whats scary about our country. Too many idiots voting WITHOUT any brains and knowledge. shudddderrrr

  • viewpoint - 16 years ago

    DALLAS TEXAS: Your just another fool, voting on color, and you call US RACIST! Take a pill and get some therapy! You NEED it. Racist, i'm rolling in laughter, listening to your crap, and calling US racist. Your are the pure unadlterated version. Hey my dog is black, would she get your vote also? laughing like hell now, I am I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mutee08 - 16 years ago

    Your days of hate are over. The people want change and they want Obama. God bless those who are on here tonight defending Sen. Obama. We are the real heros. All they have is hate in there hearts and they think that will win it for them. BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!! I'm Fired Up, READY TO GO!!!

  • Dallas,Texas - 16 years ago

    It's amazing to see the comments -- RACISM still exist. Some of you need to go to HELL like your ancestors. Visit a black church maybe the holy ghost will set your racist ways ~ free. Go Barack!!!!

  • Ginger - 16 years ago

    I'm 73 yrs. old woman who is shocked to learn that Obama thinks he can
    "whitewash" his church, Preacher, and continue to run for President when he won't salute the flag, and listens to years of anti-Christ, hate -filled sermons,- totally racist views, which he claims never to have heard in 20 years! Does he really think we are all idiots? No Christian church preaches such filth, that I've ever heard of. My Christian experiences include LOVE, Forgiveness, Charity, toward ALL races, creeds, etc. Isn't the "Rev" Wright's views more like TERRORIST'S TALK?

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    #1270 - Check out his Senate Record. He turned chicken and ran from many important votes. His record sucks! Can you imagine him as your President when he can't handle the senate. He does NOTHING!

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    Drew: Your a Dufus YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

  • Ann Choi - 16 years ago

    I am tired of those liberals or ignorant people defending Obama. They are either stupid or ostriches living in denial. On day one of his campaign I feel that Americans should think rationally before voting for a candidate who only inspires us with words. This is similar to believing in a con-man trying to cheat you for your money. In Obama's case, he is doing purely for his interest, not Americans. Real inspirational speakers like, Gandi, Reagan, JFK, etc. have actions not only words) to back them up. What has Obama done but about 3 years in the Senate? Now we finally know his real person. Goodbye Obama

  • Drew Peacock - 16 years ago

    I LOVE OBAMA!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!

  • Mystychick - 16 years ago

    Democrats had better stop voting for Obama unless they want McCain to win. Obama is unelectable now. He doesn't stand a chance in hell against McCain with this fiasco. Imagine how all of the people who voted for him without knowing this feel now? In the general election, a lot of people who voted for him in the primaries will be missing in action. Who would have imagined that the republicans could hold onto the presidency after the BUSH years... looks they they did it all thanks to the liberal media promoting Obama and crapping on Hillary. Now we are stuck with an unelectable candidate.

    Barack Hussein Obama has been exposed and the verdict is: the Emperor isn't naked; he is a racist separatist Anti-American Anti-Semite with a Muslim upbringing and name.

    He is unelectable and needs to step down.

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    BLACKS ARE NO LONGER LYNCHED AND THERE IS NO MORE SLAVERY. PLEASE COME INTO THE PRESENT CENTURY. IT IS 2008. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW THIS - THIS IS A NEWS ALERT. YOU WILL NOT BE HANGED OR RIDDEN OUT OF TOWN. GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE! IF WE ALL LIVED IN THE PAST WE MIGHT AS WELL 'STOP LIVING"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Abdul - 16 years ago

    It's about time we have this discussion about so called "race" in America. The media has attempted to avoid talking about this country's past and present issues dealing with slavery and aparteid in America. What is the problem with his comments? I have found the views on Fox News inflamatory and filled with anti-American rants. For any viewer that neglects the facts of the history of this country, African's (African-Americans) in the US were not and still are defined as chattel in the U.S. Constitution! Congress must vote every 10 years to allow African Americans the right to vote in Federal elections! This kind of speech in "Black Churches" has existed for decades following the frequent lynchings of Blacks by Whites! Wake up you racist Fox viewers! If you are African American and live in the city, it is highly likely that you will be targeted (racially profiled) by law enforcement while driving your car. If you're white, this is not an issue. There was nothing inflamatory about Reverend White's comments. I know on many Pro-Repulican sites, people were angry about the statement "Jesus was a black man living in a country run by rich white people." What's wrong with talking about this issue of "race" in America? John McCain wants to spend 100 years in OCCUPATION of Iraq! My God, more totalitarian tactics by the American (Christian) military and you wonder why this pastor says "God damn America!" Look at the pile of crap this government has laid all over the world, but I guess if you watch Fox News every day then you lack this type of knowledge. I used to be a Republican until I woke up one day and realized that their agenda is to continue a campaign of lies and deception against the American majority. Ignorance is not bliss people. Learn about what your governement does in your name! Most Americans I speak to have no understanding of what foreign policy means. This is why you hear this race garbage from Obama's pastor entering the news feeds. What's going on around the world. Heck, if this government can't address local "terrorism" from street gangs and Klu Klux klan hate groups, how can we expect them to handle these issue abroad. By the way, they instigate many of the altercations overseas. I know, I used to work for them. Barack is the better of the candidates, unless you want the world to remain the same. LOOK UP FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW OF 1850. SLAVERY TRULY DID NOT END IN THE U.S. UNTIL THE 1850'S DESPITE WHAT YOU LEARNED IN SCHOOL, SO THIS ISSUE OF "RACE" AND POLITICS MUST BE DISCUSSED FURTHER.

  • Diana - 16 years ago

    The church Obama attends is racist there is no other way to describe it. Is Obama a racist, I would say definetely YES!!

  • Mystychick - 16 years ago

    Barack Hussein Obama has been exposed and the verdict is: the Emperor isn't naked; he is a racist separatist Anti-American Anti-Semite with a Muslim upbringing and name.

  • AB - 16 years ago

    This controversy about Pastor Wright and its effect on Obama's presidential race. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT OBAMA DID NOT MAKE THE STATEMENTS. PASTOR WRIGHT MADE THOSE STATEMENTS. OBAMA'S ATTENDANCE AT HIS CHURCH DOESN'T MEAN HE SHARE THE VIEWS OF PASTOR WRIGHT. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN IT SHOULD TRANSLATE THAT WE ALL HAVE THE SAME OPINIONS ABOUT VARIOUS ISSUES.
    THE MAINSTREAM (WHITE) MEDIA HOPES TO MARGINALIZE OBAMA AS THE BLACK CANDIDATE TO THWART HIS CHANCES TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
    IF THE MEDIA AND WHITE AMERICA SEEKS TO HOLD OBAMA RESPONSIBLE FOR PASTOR WRIGHTS COMMENTS, THEN SO TOO SHOULD WHITE AMERICA BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TODAY FOR SLAVERY AND JIM CROW AND ALL THE MURDERS IT COMMITTED AGAINST THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN THE PAST.
    WHITE AMERICA SHOULD NOT TRY TO MAINTAIN DOUBLE STANDARDS. IF WHITE PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES TODAY CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR SLAVERY, NEITHER CAN WHITE AMERICA HOLD OBAMA RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMMENTS OF PASTOR WRIGHT.
    BUT IT MAY BE THAT WHITE AMERICA DON'T CARE ABOUT FAIRNESS IN REALITY, BUT WILL HIDE BEHIND THEIR DOUBLE STANDARDS.

  • AF - 16 years ago

    Obama is the Manchurian candidate. He is just the front man for Rev. Wright and his political agenda of destroying the US and destoying white poople.

  • JS - 16 years ago

    If a white person made these remarks, they would be run out of town on a rail. This equals remarks made by David Duke of the KKK. Senator Obama needs to with draw from this race and work on ending the racism of African Americans.

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    Yes, Kinky Friedman, should go in the green room and light that stogie he carries around like a pacifier. Shut THAT GUY UP! Kinky says nothing intelligent.

  • Allsion - 16 years ago

    Maybe he borrowed that speech from someone else too....like some of the other empty speeches he has borrowed from others in the past. I think that he's done for....My mom always told me to choose my friends wisely....she said that "birds of a feather flock together" I don't like the birds BO is flocking with and thankfully I am not alone.

  • Allison - 16 years ago

    From looking at the responses of this and other polls...I don't think we need to worry that BO will be the DEM nominee for Pres. I just bet he would like to kick his uncle friends "you know what" about now. Maybe BO can put out a new book...this one entitled....the man who brought a campaign to a screeching halt from the pulpit..

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    Allison: Did you hit the newer economy poll? check it out! All they are about is healthcare. Of course it is a question regarding the economy in their defense
    Your right about Hillary. THey'd be killing her in the press if this was going on with her Minister. If she has a minister that is!
    The press is liberal. I still for the life of me can't understand how you can be Christian=liberal. Sorry - DOES NOT COMPUTE!
    Borack is getting a pass because no one wants to rock the racial boat but as
    OReilly states, Mr. Borack rocked that boat when he made Mr Wright his advisor and mentor. Than lied on tv with Major from Fox about not attending when this filth was be spewed. Oh boy did we find out he lied!!! Thank goodness for the internet. What a dummy to think that this wouldn't come up. Or did he think his pretty words, Lets love one another, we will overcome, unite, blah blah blah, (no real political views if anyone noticed)would be lost on those of us who still have brain cells!

    BO is not fit to be a leader in any capacity in this country. Anyone that thinks that his values are different from his mentor/uncle like person/spiritual adivisor/minister for over 20 years...has rocks in their head. You are done Obama....and good riddance....

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    I do so hope people see the light! Obama will bring this country down and us with it. All these fools who believe that humping the alter to make a point about Clinton and Monica, should, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR COLOR, denounce Obama and Wright. Of course they'll say, its taken out of context, or that was only 1 sermon. Have any of you out there seen your minister or priest even ONCE do that? I'm sure NOT! Disgusting - In front of children too! And that dufus Obama gets married by him, takes his children there, gets advice from, thinks of him as a father figure, and baptises his kids at this same establishement AND DOESN'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON. You'd have to be in a coma to not figure this one out!

  • Naomi - 16 years ago

    I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THAT MAYBE THE MAIN REASON BLACK AMERICANS FEEL SO SEPERATED FROM WHITES IS BECAUSE THEY CONTINUALLY SEPERATE THEMSELVES. THIS ALSO SEEMS TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE LIBERALS OUT THERE WHO DRUM IT INTO THE HEADS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS, THAT THE RICH WHITE MAN HAS HIS FOOT ON THEIR NECK, AND THEY (THE LIBERALS) ARE THEIR ONLY HOPE. OF COURSE THE RICH WHITE MAN ALSO TRANSLATES TO REPUBLICANS.
    DO THEY REALIZE THAT ALL OF US HAVE THINGS IN OUR LIVES THAT MAKE US FEEL LIKE WE CAN'T SUCCEED? WOMEN FEEL DOWNTRODDEN BY THE MALE DOMINATED SOCIETY. THE OLD VERSUS THE YOUNG VERSUS THE BEAUTIFUL VERSUS THE RICH AND ON AND ON AND ON...I REALIZE THAT THE ANCESTORS OF BLACKS SUFFERED THROUGH SLAVERY BUT LET'S CONSIDER THE JEWS? THEIR ANCESTORS SUFFERED THROUGH HORRORS ALL THE WAY TO THE DEATH CAMPS. AND THEY SURVIVED AND BECAME STRONGER FOR IT. 'WHAT DOESN'T KILL US MAKES US STRONGER'? WELL, MAYBE NOT ALL OF US...MAYBE IT SHOULD GO 'WHAT DOESN'T KILL US MAKES US STRONGER, AND SOMETIMES MAKES US WHINERS' RISE ABOVE IT. MOVE ON, FIND A WAY AROUND IT. AND MOSTLY DON'T DAMN YOUR CHILDREN BY PASSING THIS GRUDGE ON TO THEM.

  • Ted American First - 16 years ago

    Today, I watched the various Sunday news shows. With the exception of Fox News, they are all trying to whitewash the severity of Obama and his "uncle", or racist minister of 20 years. This is an outrage! Can you imagine Chris Dodd and Shumer defending a Republican if the shoe were on the other foot? It is inconceivable how anyone can sit in a so-called church and listen to this racist and anti American crap. I thought it was the Black Panther Church! I will never, never vote for Obama.

    thank you greta and fox news , for bringing this very important issue to our attention, I can not understand that people would vote for president of the UNITED STATES some one that is anti american and that one year ago no one new nothing about ,i do not believe he did not know anything about his pastors sermons so full of hate what kind of church is this that teaches hatred and this is what the holy bible tell us to be aware of wolfs with sheeps skins ,obama hussain is a good speaker ,no one knows what he stands for I do not trust him ,he did not want to swear on the bible when he was sworn in office ,what kind of a christian is this , if he belonged to this church for 20 years that means he believes in every ugly anti american racist remark that his evil spirit pastor believes in .thank you greta and hannity ,and fox news GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA LETS PRAY FOR A GOOD PRESIDENT

    I watched BHO and his interview with Major Garrett. How can anyone believe the lies that are coming out of this man mouth? You do not go to a church for 20 years, consider the preacher a mentor and then say, he is like a uncle that says bad things that you don't agree with. What is wrong with this picture? In the interview he stumbled over questions that Major Garrett asked. BHO can stand in front of a crowd and keep saying change and hope all he wants, but whenever he is asked a straight up question he stumbles and babbles his answer. He is not so scripted then is he? He has people that write his speeches, he is given his questions before a debate with MSNBC and CNN. He rehearses all his answers, but Fox asked him questions that aren't rehearsed and he stutters and there is pauses between his words. So he isn't telling the American people the truth. Would you want a President in the White House that has ties to a hate America, hate rich whites, and just hate whites all together. Martin Luther King and all the work that he had accomplished in his life has come down to this. The liberal left, the MoveOn.Org crowd, the Hollywood elites, are right there with BHO. If these people hate America so much, just leave. Why do you stay here? As far as I am concerned, Barack Hussein Obama is done. I am currently watching a repeat of Hannity and Colmes and Rev. Wright is on right now which was a repeat from March 1, 2007. This Rev. Wright is the devil. This is so sad that our great nation as come to this hate. I will campaign against BHO and he better drop out. I really love the way "race" has figured into this campaign. This campaign was never supposed to be about race or be about a woman running for President. But guess what? If now we don't vote for BHO, we will all be racists. You wait and see. I thought our great country was above all this hate and guess what it is coming from the black community. Who are the racists?

    Does anyone remember when John Lennon said The Beatles were bigger than Jesus? Do you remember how Americans dealt with it? They burned all memoribilia having to do with The Beatles. John apologized and I understood that he was only comparing popularity not anything religious related. I hope that America reacts to Obama by not voting for him as he is trying to get over on us. Can you imagine how he and his friend and mentor Wright will celebrate if he wins. "It worked they are as stupid as we thought,now lets show them what change really means!" God damn America !

Cbs and all the other news channels won't show this because its all democrats! Come on America get a clue!!! For 20 years obama has gone to that church, was married there AND his kids baptized there. But he still has the nerve to say he has never heard those remarks??? I do NOT believe OHB as far as I can throw him. God help us all if he gets elected! I hope the Obama followers come to the realization that Obama is a SNAKE!! He doesnt pay respect to the pledge of alligence or national anthem he won't even wear the American flag pin!! Now we find out he is a member of a church who is against white people!! Saying GD America!! Obama is a LIAR a SNAKE and IGNORANT PERSON!!

    #1074 Patricia - You must THINK W're Stupid! McCain didn't attend that ministers church for 20 years. Yes Patricia 20 years. My 5 year old Grandson would have heard something in 20 years relative to hate, racism against WHITES, filth. Boracks lying and NOW denouncing him. Come on!!! It doesn't take a mental giant to hear the words. Your full of hate and negativity. Mr. Wright said the words. No white man held a gun to his head. There is no excuse for it. Unfortunately the Black American that decided to run turned out to be a huge racist and hate monger. I would have walked out of my Church DURING the sermon or in 20 years heard something about what Wright was preaching if I was Obama. Give us a break! There are good and bad in every color of human being in this world.
    Seems to me you forgot about all those who fought and shed bled to set the Black Man Free! Your own race sold you as slaves. Some of us do know some history.
    My Grandmother was white and scrubbed floors to raise her 5 kids when her husband died at 33 years of age. We have to work for a living. Most of us do not live off public assistance. AND most of us are not rich. Some of us stayed in and got our high school education. We don't have 5 - 10 kids out of wedlock. We didn't go to fancy high schools but STAYED in school and did our school work.
    People like you who also spew all this stuff about a group of people, not even your generation, that did you wrong and catagorize US ALL into that group ARE THE REAL RACISTS IN THIS COUNTRY and you just make me angry!!!

    I think Jeremiah Wright is just the start of Obama's problems, Obama needs to answer questions about his friendship with William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn (who in the 1970's was considered to be the most dangerous woman in America and was on the 10 most wanted list by the FBI).....William Ayers was the co-founder of the Weather Underground, who in the 1960's bombed our United States Capitol, The Pentagon, and the Harry S Truman Building.......Ayers and his Weather comrades tried to overthrow the US Government..........In 1995 State Senator Alice Palmer, introduced her own hand picked successor, Barack Obama to William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn.......Ayers donated money to Barack Obama's campagin and Obama also served with Ayers on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago for three years starting in 1999.........On Sept 11, 2001, (the day the Twin Towers fell) the New York Times interviewed William Ayers,........Ayers was quoted with saying "THEY DID NOT DO ENOUGH.".........William Ayers is a known Terrorist!.........yet Obama calls Ayers and his wife a family friend.........Neither Ayers nor the Obama campaign will answer any questions about their relationship..........Do we see a pattern here with Barack Obama having BAD JUDGMENT?...........WHAT IS TO BECOME OF OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY IF BARACK OBAMA IS ELECTED?.................PLEASE AMERICA, DO YOU'RE HOMEWORK ON THIS MAN..........GOD BLESS AMERICA!

While there has always been something in the back of my mind telling me not to trust this man, here it is in print. "New BLACK Panther Party"? Didn't the old Black Panther Party cause enough trouble and disgrace? Sure Rev. Wright I have never been called a "Nigger" but I sure the hell have been called "Honkey, Whitey, Porkhead, and Master". So don't try and tell us what we do and don't feel like.

    No one really knew Obama, but many were caught riding his bandwagon. His eloquent speeches were captivating to many looking for something new. He is dangerous.

  • kit - 16 years ago

    Obama has certainly been at Wright’s sermons. He stumbled over this answer last night too. Check out the link below and see the moment in the beginning when Wright points to the pews and states this man will help change america. Hmmmm wonder who he is talking about? Any GUESSES?

    Now look at the clips of Wright in the same sweater rant on hate and Bill Clintion etc. Hmmmm appears to be the same sermon which Obama was in attendance.

    OBAMA Believes this crap and moderate America has not voiced their opinion yet but will in November. The democrats certainly have a dilemia, they need someone electible and Obama’s high rating is taking serious hits. What will those Fl Mi and Super delagtes due. This race is not over and if Clinton wins big as the numbers are indicating in PA Obama has serious issues.

    This is exactly why he unscheduled made appearances last night. He looked uncomfortable but he had to finally comeout. The guy made a bad blunder first in befriending this Pastor then for one year makes campaign statements but NEVER spoke a word. Now the cat is out of the bag and he was forced to try to appeal to America last night. And sadly he failed.

    This guy is a sleazy politican who is not different. When October comes around and America has too choose they will fall back to feeling secure over change in what direction?, people will vote McCain.

  • Greg - 16 years ago

    Before moving to Georgia my kids and I were baptized in our first church in SC. In the year we spent there I knew a great deal of what was going on within the church, between the members and even small details concerning the deacons meetings(without attending any). Now remember, I'm a newbie, a born again Christian. And I get to learn all I learn about the church and its members in a very short time.

    Tell me again, after twenty years he heard nothing? "I KNOW NOTHING, NOTHING." Where have we heard that before? "I DON'T RECALL". "THEY MADE ME DO IT."

    Let's see if I have this right. How many years did John McCain spend in a NVA prison without compromising his principles?

  • Michael Christopher - 16 years ago

    Of course, it is ridiculous to believe that Obama was unaware of this. They are trying to treat this as just the Pastor's (crazy uncle's) comments when clearly the views are shared by the congregation. Look at their reaction in the videos. Now the Obamas are saying they will remain a part of the church because Wright is no longer Pastor. The views expressed were clearly approved of by the congregation. The Obamas are continuing to associate themselves with this racist, anti-american organization. He is not the caliber of person who should be in public office. It is appauling to think that someone with such anti-american associations has come so close to the Presidency.

  • Jeff - 16 years ago

  • Dee Timps - 16 years ago

    Even after all the bigoted remarks Pastor Wright stated, what made me feel the sickest was the way he spoke about President Clinton's dreadful mistake, and it wasn't just the way he spoke about it, it was the way he bodily reenacted the sexual act in front of all his supporters, children included. I'm convinced that Obama has seen and heard the pastors hideous talk and reenactments before, as well as his children. Obama permitted his children to listen and to watch this mad man in action. If you can do that to your own children, what in the world are you going to do to this country of ours had you become President? Obama, it's time to relinquish yourself from the race. I don’t believe you becoming the President of the United States is in the best interest of the people. Go preach ugly with your friend Pastor Wright instead. It seems like a more suitable position for you.

  • Janna - 16 years ago

    Well it's about time somebody exposed this man, hope it's not too late. I have never trusted him from day one and now I know why. Hillary has taken it on the nose by the press for saying things that were blown out of proportion in this man's favor. He is trying to convince people that he didn't know, about these speeches by Rev. Wright, give me a break. 20 yrs is a long time to be a friend and mentor to Rev. Wright and not know his views. This man like's to twist things and act like I'm clean as a whistle . This I blame the press for in giving him a free pass and dumping on Hillary all the time. Well I hope she get's some respect now and that she iwill be are next President. Barrack hit the road and keep on going right out of the country. (Take your mentor with you)

  • Allan - 16 years ago

    Obama is an inspirational speaker. He's been compared favorably to JFK. But there is a difference. JFK stood for something good. He served his nation and when the PT-109 was lost, he showed he was a man of principle and character. He stood up to the Soviets when he blockaded Cuba. I don't see that in the Senator from Illinois. It's clear that Senator Obama is no Abe Lincoln. Let's remember that Honest Abe had great opposistion in the North during the Civil War, yet her perservered during the greatest tragedy this nation has ever suffered. Whites and blacks fought beside one another, died beside one another for the preservation of the Union, for this beacon of hope in the world. Barack speaks of hope. But he has none left now. He's finished.

    This isn't an issue of racism. It isn't about Jeremiah, Tony, Hillary, Michelle or McCain. It's about moral character. It's about whether or not this is a man that can be trusted.

    Particia #1185, 1189, 1191 & 1199. MY church doesn't preach racism - you don't know what you are talking about.

    Also, just in case you forgot, Barack is running for the president of the United States - the most powerful country in the world. The fact that he worships with a racist, anti-american is very critical. Barack keeps touting that he made the best judgement call on the Iraq war - what about his judgement to worship with a manianc that is racist and anti-american? One of the MANY very disturbing sermons occurred on Christmas Day, and he specifically used Barack's and Hillary's names - not easy to not hear about that sermon. Barack has worshiped in this church for 20 years!!!!!

    Barack claims this so-called reverend is his mentor, titled his book, and was working on his campaign up until just a few hours ago. This man is very involved with Barack.

    You just don't get it do you?? You are so blind to these issues you should just log off this web site and go to bed because the majority of people on this site are informed and posses common sense, and can clearly see the wrong here.

    It doesn't matter whether you are black or white, or democratic or republican, this is a very disturbing story.

    Let's take a look at who is qualified:
    Sen. Clinton, has served only 6 yrs & another year campaigning, has managed to author & pass into law, 20 pieces of legislation in her 1st six yrs
    These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress:

    Sen. Clinton: Establish the Kate Mullany Nat'l Historic Site; Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing & Speech Month, Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor; Name Courthouse after Thurgood Marshall; Name Courthouse after James L. Watson; Name Post Office after Jonn A. O'Shea; Designate Aug. 7,2003, as Nat'l Purple Heart Recognition Day; Support the goals & ideals of Na'tl Purple Heart Recognition Day; Honor the life & legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death; Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship; Congratulate the LeMoyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship;

Tejeda; Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation & express condolences on her death; Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, & Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only 5 of Clinton's bills are, more substantive; Extend period of unemploymentassistance to victims of 9/11; Pay for city projects in response to 9/11; assist landmine victims in other countries; Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care; Designate part of the Nat'l Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.

    TO RESPOND TO PATTTY NUMBER 1185........ you are right about the David Dukes, The Rush Limbaughs, the Carl Cunninghams but none of them are advisors nor preachers to some one who could may be become president of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!!!!!! and if this preacher wright a so called man of god was really a man of god he would not use the lords name invane by saying "G" DAMN also wright may have a point in what he was trying to preach but he could have put what he was preaching in a more professional peaceful mannerism It's been done before by a man named MARTIN LUTHER KING especially since wright say's he's a preacher and a man of god i understand the point wright was trying to make because i am also a minoritie and grew up in a single parent home and have also delt with racism but there is a wrong and a wright way to get your point across if you are from the street and do not know better or have the intellect or education to put words toghther to get your point across such as some of the rappers is one thing and may be that isnt thier fault because they wernt given a chance but when you are supposed to be educated and an x marine and to top it off a preacher of god and an advisor of the may be future president you should have the intellect to put words and speeches together and get the same point across as some of these rappers but in a peaceful educated way such as MARTIN LUTHER KING but if you do not posess the mental capacity to do this than your best bet is to sit down and listen to some one that has the gift and education to this ya herrrrrrdddd !!!! lol but it's kool i'm not mad at cha

    Stop it!
    WHITE SHEET mentality????????????
    This guy spoke against hatred in our country. But it made him emotional to hear it.......a soldier hearing that kind of spite toward the very country he offered to give his life for.
    Your "candidate" proports to be against what you just did to this man who served our country for many, basically he defended your privilege to spit on him in hatred.
    OLD GUARD??????? What do you want.........NO GUARD???????
    Yeah, that'll get you far.

    Please fire off a couple more brain cells before you go around and kick the people nearest you if you truly want this world to be in the "change" you speak of. Love your neighbor.....try it. You might find it a good thing to do.

    Can't you at least, see from his shoes how it must have felt to hear an "American" speak in the manner that this Reverend did?????????????
    I've seen that tape several times now while watching Fox and it makes my stomach lurch anew every time it runs. It literally hurts to hear someone not only say that.....but from the PULPIT....it's an atrocity.
    A literal slap in the face of Jesus and what he did for us.

    Maybe you should read the eleventh commandment.
    Love the Lord, your God with all your heart, all your mind, all you soul and all your strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Then he said that we should hang on this, ALL the laws and the prophets!
    (That means it is VERY IMPORTANT!) And think about it.....if we ALL did this in every walk, every day there would be NO MORE WARS, no more HATE!
    Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
