Excellent question about the comparison of Imos to Wright!

Lorraine

I think that when people dig even deeper into Obama & his so-called Pastor they will find even more despicable things. More racist rants, and more anti-american rhetoric.

Obama is frightening!

What about obama's remark that Sean Hannity read about the cigar chomping crackers?
Do we want a president that calls white people crackers?

Obama's only positive is that he has a silver tongue. I am scared to death of this guy and it has nothing to do with race.

Don

I believe he has the same opinion about our country as his pastor and I'll now never vote for him.

Tyrone
2008-03-19 22:14:47 ET

I feel that you only instigate the issues.. Why don’t everyone give it a rest. Whatever his pastor does has NOTHING to do with OBAMA having qualifications to be president. He has already shown better judgment than Hilary and McCain. He voted against a war that has caused nothing but problems for the U.S.. and please understand his pastor was in his life at the time he made this decision. So answer my question, What is the excuse that Hilary, McCain and anyone else who followed the foolish decision of this current President?

So get off this issue about his Pastor, what is more important is how to fix this problem that the current President has caused for this country, not to mention the citizens of this country who used poor judgment and put him in office and followed him into war with Iraq... Clearly Obama has better judgment than anyone who is running for president and anyone else who has opinions about him... If anyone here feel they can do better then why you aren't running for president.. like the bible says .. " He who is without sin, cast the first stone"

This is an issue about JUDGEMENT.......not about RACE........Obama is deflecting dealing with the issue by playing the race card.........

Question that begs to be ask: Is this the individiual that I want representing me and my country as Commander in Chief?

Pamela Schiefer
2008-03-19 22:15:04 ET

I think Obama has lied all along. He has gone to that church and has been friends with Wright because he personnally feels the same way Wright feels. His wife's remarks is along the same beliefs.

2008-03-19 22:15:07 ET

My parents always taught me that you are judged by the company you keep and birds of a feather flock together. Obama has now been judged.

Bud Mullins
2008-03-19 22:15:18 ET

Senator Obama, when first asked about Wright's comments, lied and said he was not there and did not hear any of this. When he made his speach, he said yes, he know about some of his comments. He lied and he knows full well that people are on to him.

Jen Heishman
2008-03-19 22:15:21 ET

Obama's downfall will be if past video tapes of the Pastor are found, wherein he preaches hate, while Obama and/or his wife are in the congregation.

Georgette Wells
2008-03-19 22:15:24 ET

You can't fool us anymore Obama. I look at him with totally different eyes now. I can't believe some still believe him. He will destroy our country if he is elected.

You are the first I have heard bring up Imos and Wright - great comparison. I would like to hear Obama answer to that one but I'm sure he won't touch it.

Lynn W
2008-03-19 22:15:53 ET

I know better understand Obama's wife terrible statement about she for the first time likes America. I think she has obviously been brainwashed by Rev. Wright. That makes me worry about her husband.

Mary
2008-03-19 22:16:05 ET

Please do not elect this person...he is a liar!

Now its clear to me why Obama wouldn’t salute the Amerian Flag, nor wear the Flag pin on his lapel because he has those same feelings as that nut Wright screamed about.

Do the American people really want this liar as President of the greatest country in the world????? NO WAY...we will be in serious trouble and the terrorists would have an open door to destroy us with this guy in office.

2008-03-19 22:16:06 ET

This has nothing whatever to do with race. This has to do with the hard radical left ideology and the likes of George Soros, The Black Panthers, The Weathermen, the Black Muslims etal. Let's not be diverted from the truth of what this is about. Most Americans are far past race. Everyone I know would vote for someone of any race, but not of any ideology. Race is being used by the radicals to divert our attention from their belief system.

rsb1
2008-03-19 22:16:09 ET

senator obama sat in that church for 20 years. 20 years of listening to rev. wright. rev. wright married michelle and barack, and baptized their 2 daughters. oprah quit that church. why didn't obama quit? poor judgement--that's why. do we want some one like that to be our next president?

joan
2008-03-19 22:16:38 ET

The comments by the preacher were not about race like Obama is trying to make it sound. It is more about his filty hatefilled preacher's words. I have been to a lot of black churches and have never heard anything like Preacher
Wright. Black funerals do not have anything like this either.

Blacks do not hate American.

Robin Chavis
2008-03-19 22:16:48 ET

I have been watching CNN, MSNBC, etc. to hear the liberal views/spin on Obama's speech hoping to hear an explanation that I can accept as to how Obama could spend 17-20 years listening to Rev. Wright and not realize he was a racist and a little deranged. What does this say about Obama's decision-making ability? I am a conservative, yes, but liberals are not doing a good job putting the "spin" on this issue to bail Obama out. Shame on them! I expected more.

Margie
2008-03-19 22:16:53 ET

I now wonder WHAT position Rev Wright & other racial radicals like him would have in a Barak Hussin Obama Presidency. Frightening to say the least. BHO spoke of JUDGEMENT.... he obviously doesn't know the meaning of the word JUDGEMENT. This now makes sense given his Wife's unAmerican comments. Then in his speech he even insults his Mom by comparing 'family comments' with this Radical Wright. OBAMA SHOULD WITHDRAW FROM THE RACE.

2008-03-19 22:16:55 ET

Obama should have said he would or has confronted Rev Wright on his hate statements. He is toast!!

dan mccoy

he must believe in what wright has said.

Greta,
Speaking of Senator Obama, Rev. Wright and 'backlash', what I find equally regretable is how Obama's African/American core group will feel when they discover he has been using them.

Les

Obama will not disown Rev. Wright becasue if he did he would have to find a new home for his carpet bag if he loses out on the presidential bid....go figure!!!

Why is no one doing the history of obama in chicago..?.this all just didn't happen this year. There is a long trail , from his early days in college, into his adult years in chicago and how he won the senatorial election. Then this country will take the word of someone that has no history or leading....? Why is not one showing his resume? HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE

Richard Diehl
2008-03-19 22:17:20 ET

He can't have it both ways, first he never was present when statements were made, and if he was he would have walked out, now he was present, but did not walk out. Hiporcritical. Imus must go, but same situation does not apply to him!
Extreme liberal, look at his voting resord, speaks for its self.

MRS DAVE SPRY
2008-03-19 22:17:34 ET

yes , OBAMA knows much more than what he is letting the american people wanting to find out. OBAMA is not president material. OBAMA has alot of issues he is hiding from the public still. we dont know much about his family , like we know about the other candiates. MCcAIN FROM MILITARY, clinton , well we all know all about her. thats is my question I WANT TO KNOW. he is a follower , not a leader.

Jamey Anderson
2008-03-19 22:17:35 ET

What has not been brought up by the media or politicians that I have seen is the audience reacting with excitement and enthusiasm to the Minister's rantings. It was like a KKK or Hitler rally from human history's sorded past.

Patricia Kuehn
2008-03-19 22:17:37 ET

At this time we do not have much of an alternative but to judge Senator Obama's character, in part, by his past and present associations. Since Pastor Wright is a part of Sen Obama's past and present, then I can only surmise that he agrees with and supports Pastor Wright. I do not want Pastor Wright, or anyone like him, influencing the President of the USA with his hate filled rhertoric.

I am truly baffled as to why Americans cannot see Obama for what he is. The man has such poor judgment and after listening to his speech yesterday.....one word comes to my mind "devious."

Jeanne
2008-03-19 22:17:51 ET

Of course Obama wants this to be about race. That gives them the opening to infer Rev. Wright's comments are okay because his grandfather had to ride in the back of the bus. Please.............

Karen Wasson
2008-03-19 22:17:55 ET

We now understand why Michelle Obama said she was now proud of her country. For 20 years she has been listening to the hate speech of Rev. Wright and believing it was true. Senator Obama's mistake was defending Rev. Wright's rhetoric.

theresa
2008-03-19 22:17:56 ET

To little to late!! Obama got busted for not being truthful.
Last week he never heard these statements in all the time he attended the church then yesterday he admits that he did indeed witness these actions and comments. I truly question his judgement and his wife's as parents for putting their children in an arena to here this kind of talk on a weely basis.

PAT
2008-03-19 22:18:00 ET

I THINK OBAMA IS HIDING A LOT OF THINGS. HOW COULD HE BE EFFECTIVE AS PRESIDENT IF HE IS ALWAYS DEFENDING HIS RACE. HE IS VERY DEFENSIVE AND NOT GOOD PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL. I HOPE FOX KEEPS DIGGING TO FIND OUT MORE THINGS ABOUT HIM. IT MAY BE WORTH IT. ALSO, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE THESIS THAT MICHELLE WROTE WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL NOV. 5. WHAT IS HIDING IN IT? THAT IS PRETTY TIMELY. SHE HAS VOICED VERY SPECIFIC HATE COMMENTS TO THE PUBLIC. I THINK 20 YEARS OF BRAINWASHING HAS REALLY TAKEN ITS TOLL.

Mary Templeman
2008-03-19 22:18:00 ET

How do you even come up with this question? What would make you think that there is anything more to this. I think the coverage has been way overdone and I am a 69 year old, white, Christian Rebublican. Hillary doesn't have anything to complain about now.

COLORBLINDVOTER
2008-03-19 22:18:02 ET

Now the Black Panthers have endorsed him. It isn't enuf that Obama removes it from his website. My question is WHY they endorsed him? Obama is a closet racist. He is the most scary candidate to ever run for President. I'm sick and tired of Borack and every other Black American talk about slavery that they've never experienced and not care that White Americans have experience the same. I along with others want this to be done with. We have far to many problems in the 21st century. THe past can't be changed but if we don't start paying attention to the present our KIDS WON'T HAVE A PAST. God Help Us IF FOR SOME REASON HE GETS ELECTED!

ScottT
2008-03-19 22:18:03 ET

I am worried about the language that was carefully chosen in the speech and which did not make it clear what the "controversial" language was that Mr. Obama heard while in church. It would have been better if he had come completely clean.

Shirley Baker
2008-03-19 22:18:09 ET

He absolutely knew exactly what this man was saying. You cannot know this outspoken preacher for 20 years and attend his sermons repeatly, and not know what was going on. I have said from the beginning, this man has great writers who tell him what to say. He is not experienced enough to become president of our United States of America. Geraldine Ferraro was absolutely correct, if it were not for the black vote, he would not be where he is and this is defintely an issue of race.

Sandy
2008-03-19 22:18:19 ET

Obama was attractive to me at first, but then I realized that his speeches were just like the essays I wrote in junior high school--lots of high-sounding words with no meaning. With Obama, there is no "there" there. I don't know what is behind that pleasing facade, and that's what really scares me. At least we do know Hillary.

J. Gert
2008-03-19 22:18:25 ET

Yes I feel he wasn't honest before being in the church and I feel he is not being honest now about his Pastor..I have never heard a man of God talk with such hate..Thank Goodness it is coming out now and not later when or if he became President..We don't need a man like him to run our County.

PS Very good picture of Bret...we are going to miss him...

The country hasnt been duped some of us didnt fall for this charasmatic man from the beginning...he came from nowhere with no record...what did people expect? You should study a persons beliefs, previous voting records and morals before jumping on the hope bandwagon...i got hope to..i want change to..would love racism to stop.. but you dont see me running for president.lol

dee
2008-03-19 22:18:36 ET

Obama surely knew Rev. Wrights character. Having said that if that had of been Sen. Clinton's pastor can you imagine what would happen. Futhermore I have always been led to believe a preacher was to teach about God not to stand up in the pulpit and use the Lords word in vain.
I do think this will or has hurt Obama and it should.

He doesn't know if he is in a phone booth or gymnasium. He speeks intelligently, but has nothing to back it. I hope he doesn't get off the hook with this, like he surely is hoping to. !!

2008-03-19 22:18:52 ET

Greta, your polls are great..... to the point and relevant. I guess I would like to ask the Dems a question' If they can't even run a campaign, why would they think they can run this country? As far as Obama goes, he is an empty suit. If you extract the rhetoric, there will not be enough substance to fill a match box!
Shirley Stoll

2008-03-19 22:18:56 ET

I believe Fox News is making too much of this situation. At least Barack is
not lying about things he has done in the past like Hillary is doing. We don't
see you talking about the information that Brit showed today about Hillary
lying about her trip tp Bosnia. Do you think you are being fair? One sentence
about Hillary and show after show on Barack. We are tired of hearing this
and switching to other channels.

Bart L. Scott
2008-03-19 22:19:09 ET

Greta,
You are brilliant. The best commentary I have ever heard. "Spoke out or Smoked out" will go down in history! Yes, he is definitely hiding something and it is his hypocrisy. He said he would not employee someone like Imus because of his comments. The comments by Wright were worse by any standard of judgment.

mercy gutierrez
2008-03-19 22:19:14 ET

If Obama is elected we are in serious, serious trouble. We need to keep him
out of the white house. He cannot be trusted with our country. People open
your eyes.

C. Hamrah
2008-03-19 22:19:15 ET

For Obama to compare Wright's comments to his white grandmothers is reprehensible. He is a sinking ship and rightfully so. For shame Obama for listening to the rantings of Wright.

RJW
2008-03-19 22:19:17 ET

Obama cannot disavow the sentiments of his pastor about America, but America can disavow Obama, as he says he doesn't agree with the hate messages, but is still in philosophical agreement with them. Trying to placate all parties could leave him with nothing. His actions fly in the face of his messages of unity.

Barbara
2008-03-19 22:19:20 ET

It is shocking that Obama has made it this far with this kind of history. I cannot believe people were voting for him just because he "stands for" change. NOW this?!!!! I pray he will not be elected. God bless America!

kpv
2008-03-19 22:19:25 ET

Thanks to the person who just mentioned in a comment below that Obama lied -- first he said he was never there when Wright made his comments; then he said he was there and heard them. Don't let anyone miss this 'inconsistency'. He definitely cannot be trusted.

Steven P. Poland
2008-03-19 22:19:33 ET

He did nothing in his speech to make me feel any different just more concerned. We do not need another dishonest president! He demanded Don Imus be fired for his words so what is the difference with Rev. Wright? To me what his minister has said makes Don Imus look like Saint Imus!LOL
Saint Obama has left the building I think. He will not be able to win the General Election and if Florida and Michigan is not seated I can see john MaCCain winning by a landslide if Obama is the Demcratic nominee, Hillary Clinton could mop up the floors with John MaCCain so the Democratic Party better think long and hard with this nomination! Obama will lose it for us and Clinton will win it for us!

clara lawrence
2008-03-19 22:19:33 ET

I am sure, as bad a Shawn Hannity hates the Democratic party, He will definately come up with some more dirt. I am glad for one thing though, Poor Hillary is getting a little break from all Shawn's "Hillary bashing." It is about time Obama got some trashing in stead. Shawn thought Hillary would be harder for Mccain to beat. He never figured on Obama's popularity. What other alternative but to destroy Obama? I do not care how hard he tries. I would vote for a dog before I will see another 8 years of George Bush!

Kathy
2008-03-19 22:19:34 ET

Linda Petry
2008-03-19 22:19:34 ET

I don't understand if he isn't trying to hide something, why not just adress it at first. Also, how can you say this guy is your mentor and then say you don't agree with his views. This really bothers me because I thought he was genuine, now I am not so sure.

Gino
2008-03-19 22:19:38 ET

It's NOT about Obama's pastor, it's about Obama's honesty as to what he knew about the radical racial and anti-American rants and when he was first aware of them, as he has given us at least two different stories on the what and the when.

r Mckenzie
2008-03-19 22:19:43 ET

It's very dispicable that the Fox news network has turned completely into a Republican attack machine, spreading total hatred driven by the racist skin head Shawn hannity that spends every moment on TV playing to his cone head and skin heads core.

As conservative as I am, I am even more tired of this story. However, no one can sit for several hours a week for 20 or so years and not be influenced by the words prophesed to them. Why do we go to school for 12 years? To learn. What does this say about what the flock at this chuch has learned and is teaching to their children in Chicago? Maybe now we can understand why he won't salute the flag or recite the pledge!

Lori McMaster
2008-03-19 22:20:00 ET

Hi greta,
I watch O'Rielly tonight and Hannity and now you. Wow, in every segment everyone gave a chance to talk and give thier views and can now honestly say that there is allot of hate in the African Amerian community. I think that Barack himself has issues that need to be addressed. When the Black Panther was on and got so mad; no one said anything to aggrevate him. He even called her a b#3ch. There is more to the eye here. there is no way Barack Obama should take one step in that white house
Lori

2008-03-19 22:20:14 ET

I think too many people are focusing on race in this recent development and in Obamas speech. This is not about race, but about Anti-Americanism. Even tho your friends or pastor says things you dont agree with, do you continue to associate with people who talk against America. What does he plan to do to America as President??? I shudder at the thought.

Pamela Schiefer
2008-03-19 22:20:23 ET

This is for No. 11 Tyrone. The only trouble this country has is the Democrats. The democrats in Congress instigate a lot of crap against Bush. Grow up. This stuff with Wright does have a lot to do with the person that Obama is. We can not have such a person as a personal friend of our Presidient visiting the White House. I think Obama has lied about his past and there are still things to be discovered about him. In my opinion he is the anit-Crist.

Jim
2008-03-19 22:20:28 ET

Don Imus was fired for making remarks about women. Why hasn't this NUT Wright been arrested for what he said about ALL white people and this great country???? Obama opened his mouth soon enough asking for Imus to be fired but yet his so called "great" speech (cough cough cough) made excuses for Wright and himself for spuying and listening to that garbage.
He should be in a prison for terrorists.

2008-03-19 22:20:33 ET

OBAMA WOULD RUIN THE USA!

2008-03-19 22:20:44 ET

Senator Obama has not only lied and manipulated the media, but in his "wonderful speach" he avoided the topic of terror! He made the entire speach about race, but what about the american hatred. Also if I go to a church once or twice or even 3 times and I disagee with what I am hearing I dont wait around for 20 years. If I disagree with what is being said on the pulpit I dont raise up my kids up on it to be blessed on it.

As conservative as I am, I am even more tired of this story. However, no one can sit for several hours a week for 20 or so years and not be influenced by the words prophesed to them. Why do we go to school for 12 years? To learn. What does this say about what the flock at this chuch has learned and is teaching to their children in Chicago? Maybe now we can understand why he won't salute the flag or recite the pledge!

I think Obama has committed political suicide. He is very glib with his tongue, but I now think he has had a dishonest agenda, trying to become President of our country. He really frightens me. Furthermore, this is the most insane election I have ever experienced and is this the Best we have to offer or do the good people not care to run anymore. It is the saddest of affairs. It makes me want to cry over our country.

I believe that if this remark was made by a white person every black person would be crying out racial!!!! It's funny when the tables are turned they don't want to address it only dismiss the remarks. I am sick and tired of hearing about racial slurs - when a black person gets in trouble with the law its racial profiling - when a black person has hatred toward whites that's ok because the same old story about slaves which we had nothing to do with but they just keep bringing up things from the past that they were not even a part of. The black people are more racial then the white people it is very obvious. Get over it and try to all get along because things will never be agreed with when you are dealing with ignorant people who will not try to work things out and look for the easy way out by blaming someone else. Obama won't get my vote and I will make sure everyone I know doesn't vote for him either. Peace!

Your poll is fair, and you put the most favorable option to Sen. Obama first. The best part of his speech was the acknowledgement that whites would feel injustice when a person of another race gets ahead by affirmative action. But Sen. Obama did not go far enough and acknowledge that the injustice would be real. Affirmative action is wrong precisely because discrimination against any minority is wrong -- because a person is advanced or penalized because of race, which is not a moral characteristic. Sen. Obama's and Pastor Wright's idea of intergenerational guilt is likewise false and pernicious. The Scriptures are clear that the children are not guilty for the sins of their ancestors ("fathers" in the KJV). The present generation is not guilty for slavery or Jim Crow.

We are known by the friends we associate with and Obama associated with Wright for 20 years. If my pastor had made infamatory remarks from the pulpit, we would have walked out if we were there, and if we were absent that particular Sunday, we would have heard about the remarks no later than the following Monday. So I cannot believe that he if didn't hear the remarks directly, friends would have been calling that afternoon informing him about the contents of the sermon. If Obama is elected it will be another scene like the OJ outcome.

Obama Hussein’s wife said she was happy to be an American for the first time. The pastor hates America and Obama affiliate himself with people who hate America. His dad was Muslim his mom an atheist. I’d like to see him have a pork chop dinner. Imus lost his job, Trent Lott lost his and dog the bounty hunter lost his. Double standard if you ask me.

I feel the difference between Obama and Rev. Wright is that Obama has learned how to hide his racism. The mask has now been removed I hope people see him for what he is. It'll be a sad day in America if he becomes our president.

Obama’s speech was a big con job and I don’t believe anything he says because I don’t trust
him no matter how eloquent with nice words.
After seeing Obama pastor’s preach I was shocked of such language
In a church and from a pastor behind the pulpit. It has nothing of uniting blacks and whites or about the Love of God. I felt and thought I was at a KKK meeting except in Color.
White is associated with a white hate monger Louis Farrakhan.
Obama’s wife has the same views as White and you could tell this with undertone of her speech
When she said this was the first time I am proud of America.
Your associated with White and Louis Farrakhan
And he wants to be President you got to be kidding.

I'm black! But it will be a doom for America if Obama is elected as a president giving his foreign policies of going to our enemies without any preconditions. He and his pastor, there is no difference. He is in fact, a goat in a sheep skin. I said it immediately I heard him talk for the first time.

I am outraged as both an American and a born-again Christian. Jesus NEVER preached color or race, and to suggest that the black community or church requires a unique set of Biblical and social values to achieve victory over "white racist oppression" is blasphemy! As an American, I have come to realize Obama is a socialist and extreme liberal. I simply challenge every individual who reads this to inform themselves concerning Obama's platform, black church theology, and Trinity Church. Decide for yourselves if this man should run AMERICA...shouldn't be too hard!

I am a democrat and I get more news now from FOX then I have been getting from the others who choose to call themselves news organizations. You are fair and balanced. I agree with a lot that is on as well as not agreeing with a lot. As for Mr. Obama, that man scares me if he should get into the white house. I feel his racial feelings are far more radical than we democrats are afraid to see. At this point and time, I am ashamed to be a democrat. I have decided that if Mr. Obama is the nominee for the democratic party I will have no choice but to vote for John McCain. Many more of my family and friends feels this way as well. Keep up the good work.

2008-03-19 22:22:17 ET

What concerns me is not what Rev. Racist said nor that Obama is a follower, its how the members of the audience were celebrating, cheering, dancing, etc to his every word.

Watch the videos and see how the other ‘church’ members were enjoyng the racism.

chris
2008-03-19 22:22:43 ET

The one thing that the media is not covering is the fact that Obama lied to the American people. He tried to say that he did not know of Rev. Wright's comments but in his speech he verified that he indeed had been in the pews when some of Rev. Wright's heated comments were made. Why did he not have the judgement to get up and leave the church? In my mind, it is because I believe that there is a part of him that believes in Rev. Wright's comments. Would he come clean and tell the American public that. No, of course not. He's running for office, so no politician would admit it. But, read between the lines, he said he looks forward to continuing his relationship with this church. As you saw on the videos of Rev. Wright, the congregation and the new minister was clapping for joy at Rev. Wright's remarks. So, this is not just the minister --- it's the church atmosphere. Regardless of Rev. Wright's retirement, the same mentality will stay in that church and Obama has stated on record that he will stay in that church.

My family have been life long democrats and if Obama is the nominee, we will be voting for John McCain. And it's not because of Obama's skin color. It's because of his lack of judgement to continue in a church that spews such hatred toward Americans.

Larry Masten
2008-03-19 22:22:43 ET

Greta:

One very bothersome thing about this Wright controversy is that no one has mentioned the mumur of approval of the congregration when Wright was delivering his hate. And , to me, it is pure hate. Apparently there are many blacks that feel the same as Wright. And Obama is in the middle of this and initially denied any knowledge of what Wright was saying. I don't believe it for a second.

If a white minister had been taped delivering the type of message as Wright, all hell would break loose. I am white and do not harbour any ill will to any black person. This does make me pause and wonder just how blacks feel about me.

At this point, does it matter? He's going to have the delegates to get the nomination. What if he does? That's the scary thing. 8 months down the road, will people remember this and vote for McCain over him? Too bad we have found out his true nature this far along.

In 20 years I am sure that the Senator had private conversations with his pastor. I am equally sure the pastor's inner thoughts were revealed. My question is whether or not the Senator is letting his conscience reflect or if he has "sold" himself with his own speech. I fear that the "tap dance" yesterday was not only a politically contrived event, but the Senator is of a state of mind that refuses to acknolwedge his own failures. As I said earlier, a willingness to admit ones own mistakes is a sign of maturity. This would be more comforting than what was presented by the Senator, in which he threw Geraldine Ferraro and his own grandmother int the mix. They aren't the issue. It's the Senator's lack of honesty in this matter that is at the crux of the matter. He's not ready to be President.

for a person who wants to be elected on judgement, he has shot himself in both feet.
he is a hypocrit..he speaks of unity and hope..and gets his soul fed by hate and racism.. and allows his children to be fed the same.
there is no wonder in this country there is so much black on white crime. the young african americans are being taught hate. just two weeks ago there were two innocent white students shot and killed. could this be a pattern?

i am afraid of this type of leadership..it is destroying our country.. all people should work together for the good of the country and its people. not revenge.if he didn't agree with rev wright his stomach or is heart couldn't have stayed in this church.

What his pastor says has nothing to do with Obamas Character.... I am sure every single person on this blog knows someone who they chill with and hang out with that says the most stupidest things even racial things that you totally dont agree with.. but yet you do not cast them out of your life.. If God have this belief then, everyone on this blog ... God should cast out and not forgive you for your sins and the bad things you have said...

You people are so stupid to get caught up in this crap.. You should be talking about more important issues than his pastors personal thinking.... The pastor is not running for president Obama is..... You should not judge Obama because of someone elses stupid comments... You dont throw away a Bentley because of a dent it picks up... You fix the dent and keep driving your Bentley...

Senator Obama's speech was articulate and brought many racial issues to the forefront. However, his comments that all minister's, priests and rabbi's make comments that the congregation may not agree with I find difficult to imagine hearing that toxic statements ever being said in my church. My spiritual leader has never spoken such hateful racial comments, nor has he spewn remarks about damning America in any of his sermons. I am disheartened and disappointed by Obama staying inside his church for 20 years. This was not just a "sound bite". I see Obama now as I see many of the past and present candidates, just a politician trying to say what they think people want to hear to get the vote. I try not to be apathetic, but it is getting harder. At least what you hear from Clinton is what you will get.

Finally Al Sharpton should eat his words. He criticizes white individuals for making statements that I agree are awful, but as the "barometer" for racism he disregards Wrights words as a "sound-bite". Ridiculous Sharpton!!! It is time you clean your own backyard.

2008-03-19 22:23:34 ET

Ms Greta I see you and hannity and other in the MEDIA are giving white people that are bashing Obama more air time, than you do with Blacks that are try to explain Obama Situation. WE as black see this as Racial. After two hundred years we are stiill fighting for some rights.

Obama is liar and a phony. No one could have stayed in a church for 20 years unless they agreed with the teaching. If I did not agree with my pastor I would leave the church. I would definitely leave if he spoke of blacks and Jews the way Mr. Wright did against whites and Jews. There will never be peace in our country as long as we have hate mongers like Mr. Wright,Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. They have all made their livng enciting hate among Americans. Not sure how they can call themselves Reverends.

How is it possible to be a member of a church for twenty years and be a close personal friend of the pastor and be unaware of their beliefs and opinions? I have attended my church for many years and feel as though I know exactly how my pastor feels about the issues and topics he preaches about. Not to mention my own close personal friends, we are totally in touch with each other and know exactly how we feel about almost everything. You cannot possibly have someone in your life that you consider to be a mentor and not know what their opinions are.

Hi Greta,
We enjoy your show. It doesn't appear that you sway toward one candidate or the other, which a couple other network stations do. We appreciate it.

I do believe that obama has things to hide...about the reverend (I hate to call him that), about rezco, about farrakhan, obama's wife even seems hateful. ALL
of those things keep pointing to nation of islam & farrakhan. Each time you watch those hateful sermons...you see the people in attendance not being at all
sorry what's being preached but all are laughing, slapping mr. reverend on the back, applauding and encouraging that insulting hatemonger.

If obama gets the nomination over Clinton, we here are going to vote for the republican in November. We dislike that idea terribly but will be better than obama.

Take care, Greta

Donna Rogers
2008-03-19 22:23:57 ET

I believe Obama is very misguided that Wright could be a well grounded SPIRITUAL ADVISOR for anyone. Obama & Michelle should be ashamed for associating with such a radical person filled with hate for America. Wonder if this would have been our Attorney General.... an Ambassador... what position would Obama have given this man in a Obama Presidency. Would Wright have frequented the Lincoln Bedroom regularly??????????

He was the fist to denounce Imus for what Imus said, said he'd never have anyone on his staff that said such things and what Imus said doesn't even compare to Wright. He has a position for what whites can say and what blacks can say! DON'T YOU GET IT OR DON'T YOU 'WANT' TO GET IT? I BET THE LATER!

Wright for 20 years and first didn't hear him say it..then yes he did hear it but did not agree..maybe hearing it one time yes I could forgive..but it was over and over again..he should have found another church for true worship and especially for his two young daughters..the do not need to hear such sermons and grow up believing such racial beliefs..God help America if he is our Next President..we are really in trouble.

NOW, his true colors are emerging... they can only get brighter!!!
And yes, he's fully in belief of his "former" pastor! and "former" my behind!

I am sorry that we have lost so many of our BRAVE MEN & WOMEN IN THIS WAR! If we stop the WAR now, we will BE ATTACKED AGAIN! I would never vote for a man that has a PASTOR like Obama has had for the last 20 years ! SHAME ON YOU OBAMA FOR TAKING YOUR CHILDREN TO HEAR THESE KINDS OF MESSAGES ABOUT HATE AND RACE... Why can't we just let the RACE issue die FOREVER?? We all have sinned and come short of the GLORY OF GOD , but shame on a man that is running for President that stands on a stage in front of millions of people and straight out LIES ! but its wrong if Imus makes racial slurs or Dog the bounty hunter!

His children must be reeling from dual messages given at home and then in church. if you cant run your home life you certainly are nt going to run my country.

Obama connected with Wright to gain political standing within the African American community to further his own political aspirations. I believe that is why he will not disassociate himself from Wright nor strongly divorce himself from Wright's church.
Obama has been someone who runs for office every two years and does that primarily by being aggressive making the right connections and affiliations. He knew what he was doing when he formed a close relationship with Wright and knew full well the controversial rhetoric of his pastor.

Surely you are smart enough to see thru Obama's true colors!

Glenn Johansen
2008-03-19 22:25:07 ET

Barack Obama has still not specifically addressed Reverend Wright's video statements bashing the Clintons. As I understand he was quick to denounce Geraldine Ferraro's comments made about him. We know that Rev. Wright was on his political committee at the time the anti-Clinton statements were presented last week. A double standard or avoiding the harmful specifics? What of this matter Barack?

2008-03-19 22:25:16 ET

Barak speech lacked his usual synergy. In the past, his speeches conveyed sincerity and commitment. I believe his true color was showing as were his wife's statementts a few weeks ago. He couldn't do a good job because his heart wasn't in his speech this time.

Just Bob

Obama is weak of character, patronizing whomever serves his purpose. he has conned the " people ". ( this is serious)

connect the dots -
Obama rips off the american flag from his lapel
Michele Obama is finally proud of this coutry(meaning
because her hubby, a "black person" is a candidate)
Obama does agree with Wright's attitudes, that is why
he attended Wright's sermon's for many years

there must be more to uncover.

QUESTION - who will be on Obama's guest list at the white house?

Angela
2008-03-19 22:25:51 ET

Would Obama have the popular vote if Florida and MI were counted? Why is he fighting this? Obama has not made people comfortable about race except the blacks. The whites are so afraid to open their mouths, because they might be found racist. Why can't Hillary bring up Obama's lies. Because then she'll be called racist, instead of him being a liar hiding a sullied past.

Greta, I think that Obama is in the wrong ... he's talking in circles ... I am a 75 year-old woman; and, I am so troubled with his behavior ... I don't trust him, at all. You KNOW he's supposed to be so intelligent; and, well-educated and after ALL these years going to Rev. Wright's church ... he doesn't totally KNOW AND UNDERSTAND HIM? GRETA, I DON'T BUY THIS AT ALL!!! I AM VERY TROUBLED WITH OBAMA BEING IN OUR COUNTRY AND RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THIS BELOVED COUNTRY OF MINE THAT I SO LOVE!
GOD BLESS AMERICA! I PRAY TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR TO PROTECT US!

2008-03-19 22:26:13 ET

This is not directly about the poll which I believe is a legitimate question. It is about the whole racial issues being brought to the surface. Frankly I am astounded by the degree to which the American black leadership attacks our society and the negative impact they are obviously trying to create. Suddenly I am seeing a divided racial society in which I a white person must forever be on guard. One in which the African American population is being driven to destroy our culture and our country for its own purposes. In watching the news this past few days I have only heard one black leader actually speak against this philosophy. My thoughts of voting for a candidate without regard to race but solely based on their merits have been erased.

Greg

Yes he is hiding. Why did he say he had never heard divisive comments from Rev Wright last friday and then yesterday he admitted that he had. and then half way through his speech he said again that he never heard Rev Wright utter such comments. Is this just me not understanding something here? or is Barack trying to lie and say what he wants us to believe at a certain moment!!!!!!

Mary

I dont understand that Senator Obama went to that church for 20 yrs and he said that he never heard anything like that. I sorry but I can't beleive that.

Walter
2008-03-19 22:26:52 ET

There is no way a pastor can say the things Wright said and be a follower of Christ - way too much hate, unforgiveness, and self-centerness.

Obama went to this church for political reasons, not spiritual reasons, that is why he had no problem with what the "pastor" said.

Reminds me of the passage in Matthew 7:15-16:
" Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits"

As Christians we are to weed out the good teachers from the bad - not follow blindly - a true born again christian discerns bad teachings when he hears it.

Also, a pastor is to lead and nuture his flock in the teachings of Christ, not try to reflect the emotions of his flock like a politician.

Jim
2008-03-19 22:26:52 ET

It became obvious that the exposure of the taped sermons by Rev. Wright caught Senator Obama by surprise. His eloquent speech left him as he struggled to explain how "his hand had suddenly been caught in the cookie jar"! It was a most telling sign.

Obama can not disavow Mr Wright, To do so would cost him the black vote! When Obama looses the black vote, He looses the election. It is all about getting a Black man in office! Not the issues this Country faces! God help us all. I am not a prejudice person. I am white but have several adopted family members in my family. I love my family but this is how I see it. This is not a Presidential election. It is the Blacks against the whites. Please do not be offended I do not mean this in a bad way. I am so sorry for the suffering this Country will see if this mess does not end soon. God Bless America!

Obama isn't responsible for Wright's comments but he does have the right to get his butt up out of the pew and go to another church. Saying hateful things about Hillary and John McCain doesn't make Obama less of a liar or any less ignorant. I don't need to be lectured about race in America. I am an American of hispanic heritage and I belong to the human race.

What else can there be about Rev. Wright, since Sean Hannity and other conservatives have been at it for weeks now. Now Hannity seems to be seeking out any black minister in Chicago, yet ignore Hillary's endorements from black ministers and their words. Hannity is almost gleeful on this topic, and Rush Limbaugh and his Chaos Convention strategy for having Hillary the nominee against McCain. I am beginning to think Hannity has joined Limbaugh wanting a brokered convention and Hillary steals the nomination from Obama, and cause a racial uproar thruout this country. I think they are race baiting!

This also exposes the truth about him not wearing the Flag Lapel Pin while running for the highest office of the USA. It is not in him to be proud of our Country and he will not bend his personal principals with the expression of a simple Flag Lapel Pin. His religious teachings don't have any respect for our Country and since he could not express his opinion his wife just had to. They are only proud of his accomplishments and how far he reached within our Country or should I say, in spite of our Country. How can anyone even think of tainting our White House with this type of canidate, it is too easy to vote for someone else. I do not like Hilary but at least she loves our Country. It is totally rediculous to make excuses for such an important office.

The hate speech that the Obama family listens to is no different than the hate that is taught to children in the mid-eastern countries to hate westerners. This is not about race, it is about judgment and about Obama's hatred of America.

I am arfaid for America's future if Obama becomes our president. As a former Marine and an American. I anticipate the racial wars ahead. I see it happening even now in my town. The races are on edge. Obama is expected to win not because he deserves it but because blacks (sorry, African American for those actually from Africa.) belive he(they) deserve it. When someone is given something because of their race well, I become a RACIST. They (blacks) don't want to let go of the past and WORK here in the present. They prefer to prosper on the backs of their own people by keeping them ignorant.

Joe Jennings

As a U.S. Senator (collecting a salary paid for by us) why did he not help his Pastor understand that his employer was not committing these false & misleading alleged crimes against african-americans? All of the honest working stiff's that I know would proudly defend our employer's of a gross slander. Sure he has something to hide!

Jim Millett
2008-03-19 22:28:03 ET

Mr. Obama is hiding extremist views. He maintained his friendship with the Reverend Wright because he agrees with him. And his wife agrees with him. If America is as evil as they portray, why do we have an immigrant problem? Why did hundreds of thousands of white Americans die to end slavery in the War Between the States? Why did Truman end segregation in the armed forces? Why did successive white presidents support civil rights legislation? This was all an attempt to make black America feel accepted and part of the country and today it's still not enough for the Reverend Wrights of America. I don't get it, and I think there are millions of white Americans who don't get it. What is it going to take for black Americans to accept America as their country? If they don't like it here in America, there is an alternative.

I believe the Obama's are racist to some extent (they have both let comments slip out to that effect). I feel sorry for any white man that might be anywhere near the front doors of Obama's church after one of Rev. Wright's sermons talking about how the white man is to blame for all the evil in the U.S.K.K.K. of A. He would probably be a dead white man if he was spotted.

2008-03-19 22:28:40 ET

Is this the "CHANGE" Obama is talking about? "Rev.Wright?" Well, he hasn't really told us what the CHANGE is! Let me share something MY Pastor shared: "Where hate is preached, the Holy Spirit is NOT present." I serve a God who Loves! One who loves the likes of this angry man. He is probably mad at God for birthing him black. I can love the man, but hate the sin of Hate! Our biggest weapon is PRAYER and there are lots of people praying for our Nation. I'm one of them! God Bless America and forgive us!

The media seems to be overlooking the influence of Barack Obama's spouse. Michelle Obama is most likely the one that dragged him to this church and cemented a relationship with Reverend Wright.

In contrast to Obama's comments that he believes in the decency and goodness of the American people, Michelle Obama's "stump speech" offers a different view.

In her standard stump speech delivered at the Pee Dee Union Baptist Church in Chataw SC in January of 2008 she made the following comments:

“On behalf of my church home and my pastor, Reverend Wright, I bring greetings.” and she went on to say:

"We're a country that is “just downright mean, we are “guided by fear, we’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents"

Oh...yea... and who can forget that in her 44 years, this is the FIRST time she's ever been proud of her country.

Looks like Barack chose the wrong church, the wrong pastor and just maybe, the wrong wife.

A man who does not respect the American flag or the National Anthem is a man that has the same values as, Rev. Wright. I truly believe if Senator Obama, becomes president he will cause great harm to our country. If he does, Rev. Wright will come out of hiding and will be one of his top advisors. When I first heard of Obama, I though that maybe he would be a good choice, because he would represent all Americans. But the more I heard, I realized it was not the case, all I heard was, the comment "as a black man." I guess being born to a white woman, doesn't count.
I love my country and God Bless America and all of it's people.

I remember as a child hearing and singing God Bless America. Even today as I hear it I am moved. I beleive anyone that has a spiritual leader that has these radical views should never be given the time of day. Obama by supporting this pastor shows he believes in this pastor and what he preaches. If he didnt he should have lefted the church.
GOD BLESS AMERICA :) AND OUR TROOPS :)

2008-03-19 22:30:03 ET

Along with the Rev. Wright issue, Senator Obama in my view does not honor the Pledge of Aligence ( honoring our flag ) and refuses to were an American Flag on his lapel. He is fast to belittle anyone that says anything stupid about people of color and yet will not say anything if issues are reversed. For 20 years he sat in this church with his family and allowed and or accepted these untruths about this country. Sorry Senator as much as I like you, you can not lead this country and or bring it together.

Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing. If a person went to a church and his or her pastor preached like that and they stayed there for 20 years -- they believe exactly as he does. If so called Pastor Wright hated America so bad, why didn't he pack up and leave here. No one held a gun to his head to stay here!! I do not trust Obama as far as I could throw a semi-truck and trailer. America is doomed if he is elected as our commander-in-chief.

Mary
2008-03-19 22:30:25 ET

Keep looking through those tapes of Rev. Wright's sermons; you'll find Obama in attendance, most likely standing up, chanting and carrying on in agreement. That's all America needs is a President who is filled with hate. Good ole Al Sharpton is doing his usual radical spin, another one who is filled with hate. What a hypocrite!

I think Barack Obamas dream ride is coming to an end. If the democrats think that John McCain won't tear him up over all of this in the general election, then they are sadly mistaken. Hillary Clinton is now the only one that has a chance to win for the democrats in November. WAKE UP PEOPLE. As I said on this comment board 2 nights ago, we are committing voter suicide if we let Barack Obama win the democratic nomination. Even though I am a lifelong democrat ( voting for over 34 years) if Obama wins the nomination I will be voting for John McCain. We CANNOT have someone who is even remotely associated with Islam extremists living in the White House.

2008-03-19 22:31:08 ET

Al Sharpton needs to get a real job. They (the blacks) "wonder" why we don't like some of them. It's people like Sharpton, Obama, Wright, and Jackson, just to name a few. They twist the truth for their benefit. They poison the minds of people. God help us all!

Not only did Obama attend this church for nearly 20 years, his wife Michele did also. Based on her recent controversial statements I'm interested in knowing also what she believes? Afterall, if her husband was elected as President she would be our First Lady. Many compare her to Jacklyn Kennedy of which I think personally is an insult as Jacklyn Kennedy was a woman of true elegance and grace.

I do believe Obama agrees with Reverand Wright's views, him and his wife have been covered in secrecy by the left wing media, and now it's all coming out thanks to Fox News and honest reporting.

One point Obama was in support of Imis to be fired on the spot for "just words" without looking at him in total...

Now he is asking us to look at Wright in total and not "just the words:" Obama said he would not let go of his friendship with Wright over "Just Words:"

Obama is as two faced as they come. America this is who you want as President....Open your eyes! Obama wants The American People to trust his judgement...

No matter who is president its not worse than this stupid President that everyone in this blog probably voted for.. look at your house thats about to be in Forclosure.. Your poor judgment put this president in office... Look at your high price health insurance and gas for your car and all the other issues... you have.. YOUR poor judgment as American citizens caused this mess.. YOU are the ones that created this problem by putting Bush in office.. Obama can not be worse than whats going on now.. To say you are affraid of Obama.. and not BUSH... look how stupid you people are... Bush is a War Monger..... and a fool.. and YOU voted for him and you will probably vote for McCain and put the U.S in bigger turmoil...

This is not about race. Obama is trying to make it about race in an attempt at distraction from the real issue. He knows he can defuse the issue if it's about race, but he knows he cannot defuse the real issue, which is Rev. "Wrong"s hatred of America. Does anyone believe Obama would have attended any church for 20 years if he disagreed with the pastor. Of course not, and neither would you or anyone else. I think this is proving there are a lot more people out there that hate America than most people suspect.

Barak Obama is finished as a serious candidate to be President of the United States lead the free world... and justly so! Were the words of his "Pastor" uttered by a white man or woman of the Christian faith from the pulpit they would have no congregation to minister to in America today! Parishioners would run, not walk, to the exits! America is trying to moving beyond race but Obama is telling us we (not he) should re-examine our beliefs, and consider the deep seeded racial divisions in our society. No society in the world has done more to move beyond racial divisions than America in the last 50 years. His own lack of racial tolerance which has been taught to him by his own "church" and it has placed him in the untenable position he now finds himself. You are judged by the company you keep. Barak Obama has kept the wrong company for far too many years.

When I first heard Rev Wright's God ---- America I was actually sick to my stomach. Personally I feel that the pulpit is there to be filled by a person whose reason for being there was to preach the Word of God and win souls to Christ. A lot of the church's in the South all hold political rallies. I have never been in a white majority church and EVER heard a political speech. We pray for our country, our leaders and our boys in harms way but NEVER have I ever heard such as this man said. I really thought it was a joke someone was playing I couldn't believe a "man of God" would ever act like that.

Purposely or not , he will not adress the real point. Why he would keep this man as a spiritual mentor for so long, knowing what is in his (wright) heart. I now have wayyyy too many questions about his JUDGEMET. Now I don't really trust him. John

Some say that what Sen. Obama's paster says and thinks has nothing to do with what Obama thinks. When you place your memembership in a church you give money in support of that church. Shame on you Obama for supporting such hate! It was your decision to join that church. I certainly
do not want you making decisions as our president!

Yes he is hiding. Why did he say he had never heard divisive comments from Rev Wright last friday and then yesterday he admitted that he had. and then half way through his speech he said again that he never heard Rev Wright utter such comments. Is this just me not understanding something here? or is Barack trying to lie and say what he wants us to believe at a certain moment!!!!!!

I hope the media doesn't give him a pass, it is very important we know Obama's beliefs prior to giving him a Presidential vote. This is about his deep foreign policy views (Louis Farracan, Syria, etc), Racial view (not a black christian church but black liberation church...anti patriotic & racist) and his judgement. Obama's favorite character on t.v. is a GANGSTER?! If Obama & Rev. Wright were white they would be crucified by all...no one would be defending them. I fear for our country if Obama is elected President.

David
2008-03-19 22:36:16 ET

He is trying to change the subject because he doesn't know what else is out there. He's scared to death that somewhere there is a video of him clapping and cheering at one these sermons so he can't make any definitive denials that could be shown to be false. And for those on here who are also trying to change the subject, this isn't about GWB or the Iraq War and since Obama wasn't elected to the Senate until 2004 he didn't have a vote on the Iraq War so please stop the irrelevant spin

Claire

The Democratic National Committee should force Obama to resign from the
the election campaign. He is a a force to fear in our country's future His speech was very offending to the white population. He is a racist and he showed it in his speech.
Does he not think there are poor whites who struggle??????
Does he think all whites are wealthy???? Does he think all whites should pay because slavery existed many many years ago?????? He needs to resign now.

Mr. Obama has had Mr. Wright as a mentor for 20 years. What did Mr. Wright mentor Mr Obama over those 20 years? Mr. Obama lied when he said he had never heard Mr Wright say any of those comments at the church and the next day he says that he had heard him say that those comments. I can never trust anymore who lies for his political gains. I can't call Mr. Wright a reverend. If he was a true reverend he would never say those vicious comments of the United States. If he feels that he is not treated fairly here then he should move to another country. There are many people in other countries that would trade with him in a heart beat. Racism exists in every country in the world and I think many people here in the U.S. think that it is only here. Please don't talk to me about black values. Values are values no matter where you come from or what your skin color is.

Birds of a feather flock together, and these 2 birds have been flocking for 20 years. I never trusted Obama or his wife. Always thought they were radicals, and now its a proven fact. Suddenly, he was running for President of the USA. I'd like to know who's behind this man's sudden run for president?
I believe he's there for the purpose of dividing the Democrats. Is this man truly an american. His name is Husein. I loved Don Imus and they fired him, even though Don Imus always gave to the sick, downtrodden, and loved America, yet all of the so called black leaders requested him fired, now they're trying to save Obama who's acts are far worse than Don Imus. Black people are their own worse enemies. I am black and proud of it. Until, black people stop trying to play both ends against the middle, they will always be proven childish and petty. What black people are not understanding is, that this man is running for the highest office in the USA and he appears to be offended because he has to explain himself. My thoughts on his speech is, this was not an oratorical contest regarding race, however, it was about why a man that has the adacity to run for President remained a member of this Crazy/Preacher, so called uncle's church for 20 years. Used an analogy comparing his Grandmother to this radical prejudice fool. Like I said in the beginning, birds of a feather flock together and these 2 birds have been flocking for 20 years.

Religion of a canidate is not a concern of mine but viloent extreamist views his religion preaches should be a concern of all of us. I am a Soldier that has served in Afganistan to fight extreamist views.

What is the difference in a Preacher that is a U.S. citizen making Anti American statements and the statements of the extreamist that we are currently fighting against. Is the reason that Senator Obama wants to pull the military from Iraq and Afganistan because he might hold the same viloent extreamist views and encourage them after he does make it into office.

By the way I am not a fan of Senator McCain, and prior to this information Senator Obama would have instantly had my vote. I am going to have to re-look my own judgement because I had evidentally decided before being given all the information on Senator Obama.

Sid Morrow
2008-03-19 22:37:53 ET

The reason I will not vote for Obama is not because of Obama or Wright, but because I have seen hundreds of people cheering and dancing and whooping and hollering and laughing and clapping their hands in approval of the racist and anti-American hate rantings of a so-called preacher. These people are young and old and mostly black, and I don't know why the media has not addressed this. People I have talked to certainly are influenced more by the preacher's compliant audience than the principals themselves.

2008-03-19 22:37:54 ET

Who's waiting in the back ground to be in his cabinet? Over the Justice Dept., the Secretary of State, etc. We all should start worrying about that -- and what credentials does he have to even run for president? Most of his time in the Senate he has been on the road the last year and a half campaining...

Blacks today associate whites of today with slavery as if we’ve all owned a slave when in fact we were not even alive or born. NOT all blacks but the al sharptons and Jessie Jackson’s new black panthers types. Yet Obama doesn’t want us Americans to associate him with the Reverend that he has sat with for 20 years.

Priscilla Lowry
2008-03-19 22:38:39 ET

I do not believe anything Sen. Obama says. I believe he lied about his pastor and tried to downplay the whole situation. I cannot understand for the life of me why Sen. Obama says that his pastor taught him about Jesus. From what I saw on the news, he taught him a lot of negative attitudes about our country.

I am now listening to Rev. Al Sharpton saying that Rev. Wright did not attack any one race or gender. He repeatedly brought up "rich white people" and criticized them. I am white but I am not rich and do not appreciate anyone generalizing the whole white race. I could go on and on using examples but as far as I'm concerned, Rev. Al Sharpton is "off the wall" regarding his defense of Rev. Wright. It seems as though in Rev. Sharpton's eyes, if a white person like Imus makes an inappropriate comment he considers it major but whenever Rev. Wright rants and raves such as "God damn America" which is also very inappropriate, Rev. Sharpton doesn't see that as major.

Its about Obama's Judgement and obviously you are not black so you are taking the message out of context..... Obama has always shown good judgment in his life .. IF HE DID NOT HE WOULD NOT BE IN FIRST PLACE NOW.... So why his pastors thoughts should be important to electing OBAMA? Obama is the one that would be answering that phone call at 3am.. NOT the PASTOR.. AND I WOULD WANT SOMEONE WHO VOTED AGAINST THE WAR TO ANSWER THE PHONE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT PERSON HAD BETTER JUDGMENT THAN BUSH, HILARY AND MCCAIN.. NOW IS THAT RIGHT OR WRONG?

America's biggest problem right now is too much of the "wrong experience" exist in Washington, D.C. I think it would be wonderful if Senator John McCain would win the November Election. America Needs 4 more years of the type of government that we have now . Hopefully the price of gasoline will go down to $1.25 a gal. or as high as $4.75 a gal.

Maybe homes foreclosure will end, and once again the stock will reach 20,000 points. As we all know that the economy problems is of this great nation is Champion by a Republican Administration and in some cases helped along by the Demoncratic Party.

I hope and pray that Senator John McCain win in November so that he can fix the mess that this Administration Team have got this country into. I think only a rebublican can straighten this mess up.

This Obama person is TROUBLE! He has just been exposed by his "preacher" for who he really is and what he stands for and he is in a state of panic--
One last thing--why is it that when a white person makes a remark , they are called on it immediately? This lunatic has screamed racial slurs towards the white race for over 20 years and now has been exposed, and people like Obama and his troops just don't think it was bad enough to really "do " anything about it...talk about being a hypocrite!! Obama is wearing the banner for that one.....

Obama has continually surrounded himself with people like pastor Wright, Farakaan (trips to Lybia),his wife, Black Panters, has changed his few and statements as close as four days apart. do I think he's hiding more about pastor Wright? You bet.

In the beginning, Obama lied and said that he had never heard his pastor make remarks like this. Then he admitted that he had. Do we want a LIAR in the White House again? We've had enough of that. I think he should be made to bow out, his beliefs are that of his pastor. Why can he not disown him? There is much more to be found out about him; but don't depend on him to tell us. His wife had to get into politics to be proud of America, and when she was asked if Barrack was a muslim, she said "not that I know of". What a stupid answer, she knows!

Two good choices. Now, if he could possibly pull this off, we are in trouble. As a Mother, I CANNOT IMAGINE SITTING IN CHURCH WITH MY CHILDREN AND ALLOWING THEM TO HEAR SUCH HATE AGAINST THIS COUNTRY. I WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY USHERED THEM OUT. And Obama won't denounce him!!!!!!!! Shame on him. He must have something on Obama. Another generation being taught to hate. Imagine if the Pastor at Hillary's church were saying these things. There would be a riot.

If Rev. Wright finds America so despicable, why doesn't he give up his U.S. citizenship and move to Africa since that is his most loved and favored nation? I think this brings to light that this type of hate is being preached in black churches throughout America while white people thought that America had mostly overcome racism. Remember that we do have a black Secretary of State.

The broader context is the Black Liberation Theology practiced by Trinity church. The real question for Barack Obama is not "Does he support Jeremiah Wright?" but more to the point, "Does he believe and support the Black Liberation Theology as written about and explained by Cone?" In his "race speech,"Obama referenced the basic idea of the theology in his explanation of his initial coming to Christ by recognizing himself in the stories of certain oppressed individuals in the Bible.

Al Sharpton has a great MOUTH!!!! Let a white person say about blacks what the Rev. said about whites....Al Sharpton would be going crazy! There is such a double standard that even the media is AFRAID of Blacks. I was so surprised to hear what hatred was being preached in Black church....talk about never leaving the 1950s and 1960s. I thought we were beyond that mentality! Racism goes both ways! I think the white community has moved toward seeing the world as "people". Maybe the black community should analyze their mentality...this race is dividing the country....we are going backwards!! I am afraid after hearing the hatred in that preacher's voice...

I have found myself to be hurt, angry, disappointed and have lost any confidence in the Obama Campaign. The other item that has shocked me is how the Black news persons on the Networks have had a terrible time denouncing Pastor Wright. Most cannot, or are afraid to. That concerns me even more. Yes Pastor Wright is a racist, he is preaching hate of white people to thousands of people. I am appalled and saddened. I had higher hopes for Obama. This has changed my mind completely and nothing he can say or do now will be able to change that. Facts are facts. White hate is white hate. Please tell your guest Rev. Sharpton that WE ARE ALL THE GOVERNMENT, both black and white.

This man is both black and white and could have represented everyone. Instead he chose one side of his heritage and threw his own White Grandmother under the bus. I have no respect for anyone who could tell the world about a private conversation with his/her grandmother. Did his black Grandmother ever say anything about white people? Im sure she has but did he talk about that? No. Should he talk about it? No, he should keep that private also.
Why couldn't he have gone to a church that represents ALL people. My church has all cultures in it and we unite as Gods children.

What about the people he helped within the South Chicago area, were they only blacks or did he help anyone that NEEDED help. Poor people come in all colors.

Why is their "black" colleges? Isn't that discrimination against everyone else? I think that the Government is allowing discrimination to continue and is causing problems by letting ANYone to set up an organization, school, etc. that discriminates against anyone based on race, gender, etc..

One other thing on my mind. I thought that a church could not talk politics or they would loose their non profit organization status? How are these "churches" getting away with this?

My family is mixed of many races (white, black, hispanic, asian, Native Indian) and we teach our children to embrace who they are 100%. Not just a part of themselves. It's ashame Barack was not taught this.

The snips of sound bites that has been brought to our attention regarding Obama's friend, mentor and pastor, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. do not include all 20 years of speeches. Sure, I realize there were some good words from time to time coming out of Rev. Wright's mouth but I just feel there is a lot more out there we do not know. Obama's wife, Michelle said herself, that it was the first time she has been proud of her country. I believe Michelle meant every word she said and now I can see why, she was listening to Rev. Wright. Of course Michelle had to dance around her statement and try to cover it up but I feel deeply that the first time she said it, it was not a lie. I am sure that there were many a time when the Obama's sat in the pews and heard their friend, mentor and pastor Rev. Wright pew many hateful words. Obama should have left 20 years ago if not sooner but he chose to stay. Obama has no one to blame but himself, he made his bed and now has to sleep in it. I certainly will not vote for Obama and I don't think Obama is the person needed to lead our country, the United States of America and it's people.

The discrimination is black against white when it comes to Rev. Wright and his followers. The Rev. wants parishners to soak it up and spill his poisonous message to others in the world. Barack's wife has learned it. He calls himself a Christian. What Bible does he refer to? The bibles I have read do not preach hateful messages -- and delivered by a Reverend from the pulpit in a Church no less. The Shame of it all, and they don't see it. The black people say they want to do away with racism and then preach racism to their congregation. It appears they are blind to their hypocrisy. Mr. Obama is blind to it and his speech proves it.

Lets look at what we know about Obama. We know his real father was a radicalist. He never really knew his father though. But so was his step father , which leads me to believe that his mother had like beliefs. There are three people who are is his life that have radical veiws. You can't tell me that his pastor was a 20 year fluke. What kind of change do we have in store if this man gets in office.

I do not understand why you continue to have Al Sharpton on your program. He is clearly a racist of the worst kind. The white man is ALWAYS wrong; and the black man has issues. Rev. Wright is a racist. It seems very clear to me. I was a great fan of Imus and still am. His comment, made in jest, (though wrong,) was uncalled for. He lost everything over it. Rev. Wright, on the other hand, continuously makes comments about this Nation, Which I Love, and he should also...especially since he makes the kind of comments that he does and is not hanged or shot for it. I bet he wouldn't of made those comments a hundred years ago.

I do not believe that Senator Obama did not hear personally hear the hateful preposterous comments made by Rev. Wright. during their 20 year relationship.
If Rev. Wright could so comfortably speak in front of hundreds about white supremacy, white racism, conspiracy theories about the USA and disdain and hatred for the USA, do you not think that in private conversations these views were expressed to his follower, Senator Obama? Senator Obama has Rev Wright as a mentor, father like figuure and inspiration. Obama embraced Rev. Wright, it was not just an occasional minister/parishioner relationship. Obama has selective amnesia because the truth of what he saw and heard during his relationship with Rev Wright would not sit well with the overwhelming majority of Americans.
What does Senator Obama really think and believe? Why does he seek counsel with Rev Wright and how does he explain his "relationship' with a known terrorist (Weatherman)? His candidacy is now almost as frightening as the blindness of the American followers who hear his words and fall into a cult like trance. God help America! We need it.

I can't imagine someone being my mentor and spiritual advisor for 20 years and not knowing how strongly that person resents the County that I hold dearly. To me a spiritual advisor is one that teaches love and toleration and forgiveness in all matters of life. I can't imagine how anyone could be so misled for 20 years by another individual. No, I do not believe Obama. Does he expect us to believe that he never had a personal conversation with his Rev. concerning issues such as retribution and race. The Rev. obviously feels so strongly about these issues he freely preaches them in a public forum. We don't know much about Obama. But... anyone with common sense should know enough not to trust him with our future. Either he was totally fooled, denied what should have been evident, ignored it for 20 years, or is simply lying. Given common sense and the fact that Obama is no less a politician than any one else, it looks like it is the latter.

Obama has NO experience as a leader. You cannot use the war as an excuse. the war has made us safer. It will protect us from future attacks. People should not bash the current president because of the war, YOU are not in that position and YOU do not have experience either. Also about he war, there were more people, more AMERICANS that were killed at Fredricksburg in 14 minutes during the Civil War than the total during the Iraq war. Also in the Bible it says that when the Jews went into war they kill everybody. Its called the casulties of way. Nobody complains about that...i wonder why? Also Obamas father has links to radical Islamist....makes me wonder... And SLAVERY!!! If it werent for slavery, the blacks would still be looking for breakfast with a stick. It did more good for them than anything. And why is it whites are the only people who are racist. Blacks have all black colleges, the NAACP, black college funds and a BLACK miss america. If a white tried to get in or get any of these it would be racist!!!!!!!! WHAT HAS AMERICA COME TOO?????????????? Obama has NO experience to lead this country. We need another Ronald Reagan.

Obama's links to Wright have to be considered as Obama himself has referred to Wright as his "mentor", i.e., someone who he apparently wants to model himself after.

I don't know much about the senator. His work in senate and his voting records does not give me sufficient information about him, and does not help me to understand this man and his political views. I have not seen any thing that will give any indication that he has tried to extended his hand to the opposite party in order to workout important issue. So by getting some information about the people he associate with and friends with for 20 years helped me to understand there he is coming from. Pastor/friend is very important figure in person’s life. A specially, then you have very close relationship for 20 years. I am an emigrant, who came to America with nothing but with a dream to succeed. I love this country of opportunity, and will not trust anyone who can be friends with the person who condemns this country.

If people would just watch those little children over in Iraq clapping & dancing in the streets because of OUR BRAVE MEN & WOMEN who have went over there and fought for them!

Obviously he is hiding behind the belief, that hatred spoken from a pulpit, will have no long term negative effects on his daughters.
This, of course, would be very disturbing to Michelle and Barack, because they do love their daughters. But how could they allow their children to ingest this spiritual poison. I agree with Mr. Obama, that Mr. Imus, and his racist remarks were reasons for dismissal, but he has a double standard.
Obviously, the Obama's don't think Reverend Wright's brand of religion IS Toxic, or they would have found another church. He has allowed his daughters to be filled with hatred. Snippets of hatred, or volumes of hatred.
No excuses. Wrong is Wrong.

I have to say that it is very refreshing to actually find people who realize the true character of Obama. I'm in law school right now and out of everyone there I'm one of the very few who are not Obama maniacs. I know that even bringing this topic up at school would cause me to be burned at the proverbial stake. This incident reaffirms my belief that Obama has absolutely no judgment. He has made judgment the key of his campaign and now he is the prime example of what a lack of judgment looks like. I hope that more people wake up and see Obama for who he really is. Finally, what confuses me is why Obama wasn't personally offended by the racist comments made by Wright. Obama is half white; he grew up privileged; went to the most accredited schools in this country, so why would he go to a church that discriminates against part of his own history?

It is unrealistic to believe that a man who attended a church for almost 20 years had no idea of his pastor's racial views, especially when videos of those views are sold in the church store. Does Obama truly believe that "we the people" are stupid and can be easily tricked by lame explanations? How about some honesty Obama! I'll start, you say you are the candidate for change and you are but unfortunately it is a change for the worst. I am so disgusted by the whole situation and the double standard that resides in this country had this been a white candidate there would be no question of did he know or does he agree. So why should it be different now? It shouldn't! I thought the idea behind the civil rights moment was to bring equality to all but apparently we were all wrong.

There is no doubt that there is much more to Obama's past including with his uncle wright. It's SO obvious he's got more to hide, from the beginning he's never allowed to be interviewed with the media, at least the media/network that really asks questions of substance! Even the debates were a joke! But when more comes out, he'll be telling more of his clever lies, making more excuses with his smooth talk and charm!! and some want to believe in him so bad, they fall for his every word and make excuses of their own. He's causing such separation right now, what would he be like as 'our president'???

Something Obama said reminded me of how Jesus looks at us as human beings, "As imperfect as he may be I can no more disown him". Obama is doing what a christian should do and that is forgive just as he forgave his grandmother for comments she made about his own race and just as Jesus forgives us. Also Obama's views about America are not the same as Rev. Wrights, he has said many times that he loves America, and thats the whole reason he's running for President. I have friends and family that have said things that I would never agree with but I would never disown them.

Are you kidding me? he said WHITE AMERICA very cleary. Yoy seem scared like the rest of the white media. Get real and get American. If any thing it seems to me that the Black community is more racist. The lso called leaders will not go against their own kind of which now they have seperated. And you keep talking about Obama's denial. Its not denial, he got gaught. I got to tell you I did like the guy, But forget it now. And has for Black suffering. When do you let it go. They get more then equal choices now. Macain suffered directly with pain and he put it behind him

Barak Obama pretended to be surprized by the comments.
Well - the sermons have been sold by the church. Is he telling us he never purchased and never listened to any one of them? Pastor Wright was his mentor, his spiritual leader - and Sen. Obama never cared to get one or two of his tapes - for inspiration or moral support? Those tapes were sold by his church and he was never told by any of his fellow parishioners what they are about?
Watch the videos and observe the audience. Are they shocked, stunned? No - they're enthusiastically applauding. Clearly, this kind of sermons was neither surprizing nor unwelcome in this church. And we are to believe that Sen. Obama not only haven't heard any of them himself but never has anybody even just mentioned them to him? In some 20 years as a prominent member of this church, Sen. Obama never figured out what was going on?
But OK - let's assume that Sen. Obama told the truth.
What does it tell us then about his suitability for office?
How competently does he manage his election campaign? What caliber of people has he entrusted with running his campaing? They realized a year ago that Pastor Wright might spell trouble for their candidate. And since that time, not a single one of his researchers and strategists ever considered checking out tapes sold in their candidate's church, just to make sure there is nothing there that might come back to haunt him?
Either incredibly naive and incompetent, or quite far apart from the image of impeccable honesty he's running on.
Take your pick.

I actually thought that Obama was the better of the 2 evils (not voting for either), now I feel he has an agenda that is bigger then the Clinton's ...he has a double standard based on his comments about Don Imus. WHO is Obama? No one really knows..the majority of his vote is from the youth, they are all still in college and have never paid taxes..they don't even know what a tax is yet!

Birds of a feather flock together, and these 2 birds have been flocking for 20 years. I never trusted Obama or his wife. Always thought they were radicals, and now its a proven fact. Suddenly, he was running for President of the USA. I'd like to know who's behind this man's sudden run for president?
I believe he's there for the purpose of dividing the Democrats. Obama, his wife, and his crazy Pastor are anti-americans. In my heart I felt that he was from the Middle East, and, I never considered voting for anyone other than Hillary. Blacks are their own worst enemies, always hypocrital, and in the end looking silly and childish. We may as well give the presidency to Bin-Laden, thats how much I trust Barack Husein Obama. By the way, I am black.

This changes everything for me. He exposed his children to this, I'm assuming this is what he wants them to believe. Surely he knew how this man felt about America? Yet he wants to be the president of America?
He calls this man his mentor; look up the word in the dictionary. Teacher is in there. Therefor we can assume that he has been taught well by the reverend.

If Obama is the nominee, America is in more trouble than we are now. There is NO way that I will ever believe that he didn't know or hear what Rev. Wright said. You have heard that old saying "me thinks you protest to much", well I don't think he protested at all! His speech, while eloquent to me was an explanation and not really a denouncement. His wife Michelle scares me as First Lady also, after the remark she made. All you need to do is read both Michelle's and Obama's Thesis. Read his Book! Think about the remark his wife made about "for the FIRST time in my adult life I am PROUD of America"! Then think about the 20 years as members of that Church, subjecting their daughters to Rev. Wright's HATRED and RACISM, with the WHOLE congregation standing, applauding, smiling and shouting Amen!! I am also amazed that Obama was absent just happened to be absent, every time he Preached these controversial Sermons. Sorry I don't beleive that!!! I BELIEVE THAT OBAMA IS TRYING TO HIDE MORE THAN WE KNOW AND THAT IS HOW HE REALLY FEELS ABOUT AMERICA AND "WHITE" AMERICAN'S AND I PRAY IT COMES OUT BEFORE HE IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!! This man in the White House as President of the United States and his wife Michelle as First Lady is scary and I believe it will open America up for more attacks on us, not only from the outside, but from the inside. I FEAR FOR AMERICA AND ALL AMERICANS IF HE BECOMES OUR PRESIDENT!

If you do not like what America has done to proctect YOU and YOUR children and YOUR family I suggest that YOU leave it. Find another country that is "better". You wont find one. Move to Iraq, or Niger, or Bangladesh, you will quickly learn why they want to come to America. She has payed a mighty price for freedom, Love it or leave it. You need to stop being NAIVE and GROW UP. All you people GROW UP and OPEN YOUR EYES. If you side with osama you are a bunch of left wing bureaucrats and terrorist.

Greta: I think this is a very big issue. It seems that there is a big portion of the black society that have very negative views of what they call White America. One thing is for certain. These so called black churches need to he investigated. These churches keep thier black congregents in bondage. There is no need for the younger generation to be brainwahed with old limitations. New generations have the ability to be freed of the past. They create intitlement mentality in their victims. White society is being held to a very high standard relating to race issues. I think that black society is getting a free pass. After seeing what goes on in so called "black churches", It is very clear to me that many blacks hate whites, and they go around saying the opposit. This issue should not be allowed to disappear. This country and the white people in it, deseve an apology from somebody! As far as us accepting the man at his word..why do they deserve any more than they give our president?

Obama is nothing more than a wolf in sheeps clothing. Blacks and young people are being duped by his silky smooth speeches of hope and change. Hope in "what or who" and change to "what". He is about big government, higher taxes, liberal judges and would likely harm Israel. Obama has set uuder the preaching of a bigot for 20 years and apparently saw nothing wrong with what he heard. This country will be in a perilous condition if he is elected president.

There used to be a day when I believed the majority of Americans where somewhat, intelligent. When I read some of these comments and concerns I ponder afew questions; did European Americans (EA)enslave Africans and African Americans (AA)? Did EA men rape AA women over a 400 year period?
Did EA oppress AA? Did EA deny education to AA? Do you think this history that was filtered through to generations after generation have an affect on the begotten? It is less than a 1/2 century ago we were dealing with major racial issues and it is this era that Rev Wright manifest his anger and resentments.
It is unwise to believe that over a 20 year span that all the good that Rev Wright has done over his tenure can be ignored because of a few outbursts of rage and rantings.
Karl Rove is a Fox News correspondence; how hypocritical for him to correspond any point of view when he was partner and crime with Bush when they lied to the American people to trick Americans to go to war in Iraq? When I see Karl on TV I quickly turn the channel because he really brings the ones credible Fox news into a politically biased light; just look at who owns it!

I think we are finally getting to know Sen. Obama and this is the tip of the iceberg!! He exploited what his Grandmother said to him for his own personal gain! The one time he talks about the white side of his family in public and this is what he offers! Nice. Bringing America together? I don't think so. I am white and have friends of many colors, as do my children. I do not believe that the majority see this country the way he would like us to believe. I see this country has made great progress and will continue to do so without the likes of someone like Obama trying to take is back to the past. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD . The more I listen to his speech, the more I see him trying to place blame on someone else other than Rev. WRight for his terrible, hateful sermons. It was actually more frightening than inspiring to watch the media drool over his speech (they really want this candidate) I found it full of excuses for very bad judgement and behavior, with no accountability for his support of this attitude and belief that it is justified! Sorry Obama. I voted for you in the FLorida primary, but will pray everyday that you do not get the nomination. America is not as bad as you would like to portray her! I am very proud of this great nation and will continue to look for leaders who feel the same pride!

Linda Kleinschmidt
2008-03-19 23:06:27 ET

If Rev. Wright were a sincere spiritual advisor to Obama and really cared about his feelings and Obama's family and the problems his comments have caused for Obama, Rev Wright would have been there in attendance when Obama made his speech. He would have then talked himself aobut the "context" of his sermons and explained why he said what he said. He would have apologized to Obama publicly and to any Americans that he offended with his "provocative" language. But he didn't do that, did he? That tells me that the Reverend is narcisstic, selfish, and has only his own self-interest and image in mind. He doesn't seem to care about Obama and certainly not as much as Obama apparently cares about him.

I hope eventually we do elect a black as President. Obama is not that candidate. He has shown a serious lack of judgment and candor on the Rev. Wright issue,

It's also revealing to hear what apparently at least a portion of black Americans really think about their country and fellow Americans in the privacy of their church as revealed in their comments about Rev. Wright and their responses to his vitriol . I find that personally sad and disturbing.

I really thought my children would be watching history being made, a smart, good, black American in the race for the presidency, a man just like their daddies. I feel the kids have been cheated, America has been mislead. I do not understand such hatred coming from the mouth of his minister, in a church. I have plenty of black friends, have attended black Sunday services and funerals, and never have I heard such filth and anti-white, anti-American rantings. My pastor preaches love, care of the poor, the messages of Jesus' love and forgiveness toward people of any/all colors. I'm sorry Obama is not the man I believed him to be.

Greta- It is my opinion that Obama is hiding alot, some of which is probably a little scarey. It is clear to see he has no ability to make any kind of a good judgement call. If he has lied about his affiliations with certain people and groups then what else has he lied about that has not been discovered YET? I really hope that voting America can see this man for what he really is. My opinion is he is just as much of a racist as are his friends Pastor Wright and Al Sharpton. I pray to God that America shows the Super Delagates that Hillary is the more favorable candidate for the demo. party. Perhaps the Illinois Senator would make a better television evangalist than the polititian. Just remember this Obama has less than four years under his belt as a senator. He really is to green and to dishonest to be President of our great United States of America and I say to all who read this - GOD BLESS AMERICA let me say that again, GOD BLESS AMERICA the land that I love.

Mr Barrack Hussein Obama (some believe that mentioning his middle is inappropriate-it's his name isn't it?) was not forthcoming with his speech yesterday. He should have condemned all of his pastor's teachings. If anyone thinks that his pastor's comment isn't promoting (reverse racism) think again (fyi-I'm asian and married to a wonderful afro-am woman. Obama himself said his pastor is HIS MENTOR and Obama speaks highly of him and say he has no influence in his beliefs and life? Huh, was I born yesterday? And his slogan is "Change? Sorry, I but Obama will drive this country into the ground. Obama is keeping secrets of his actual belief of this country. 20 years of listening to that kind of teaching does not influence you? Come on Obama! Wake up American voters, don't be a lemming. Beware of charismatic speakers like Obama, he says all the right things with a voice that is commanding, convincing.

Suppose that for 20 years, a white candidate attended a church whose pastor was a grand wizard of the KKK, and said that this pastor was his mentor. Would any of the people who defend Obama say that such a pastor's words must be taken in context? Could they claim that this hypothetical white candidate would not be influenced by his pastor's racist views? I think not.
Obama says that he cannot disown Reverend Wright. I find that I have no problem disowning Obama.

Should we believe that all Catholics are sympathetic with pedophiles because some priests were convicted of molesting children? Its to bad that we can't focus on something that has more substance than this. Shouldn't we focus on innocent people who are starving, a war thats being fought and children that need education?

Liberal Democrats brought up RACE and it is so sickening! Sean Penn and his Hollywood Liberals must be mad about that or do they think that is OK as long as Obama is playing a Role! The Man of Hope has left me shocked...I CAN ONLY ASK "JUST WHAT IS HE HOPING FOR?".. AND HE IS BRINGING HIS KIDS TO THIS HATE SPEECH? ANOTHER GENERATION OF HATERS IS BEING CREATED...

This is the last straw for me..my wife has actually cancelled all the mentoring sessions she does in Roxbury Mass..SHE SAID IT APPARENTLY WAS USELESS AND NOT APPRECIATED OR UNDERSTOOD. I WILL NEVER HIRE ANOTHER BLACK PERSON EVER! AND I DO SEE HOW IT WAS SO EASY FOR THE LIBERALS AND THEIR BLACK FOLLOWERS TO ATTACK PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO HAVE ACHIEVED..LIKE CONDI RICE, MICHAEL STEELE, AND CLARENCE THOMAS...I GUESS THEY DO NOT GO TO REV. WRIGHT'S CHURCH SO THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED...

To end..if Obama is nominated I will never Vote for him..and if he were ever elected I will join all the rich Liberals in Western Mass who NEVER PAY TAXES AND GET AWAY WITH IT...EVEN IF I END UP IN JAIL..IT WILL BE WORTH IT NOT TO SUPPORT SUCH A SHAM!

i JUST HAD A FUNNY THOUGHT...IS THIS WHAT THE DEMS HAVE CAUSED THEMSELVES WITH ALL THEIR PRACTICING AT GETTING RELIGION OVER THE LOSS OF THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION? THIS MUST BE THEIR NEW RELIGION...BUT IT SURE IS NOT ONE I WOULD FOLLOW ...OF COURSE WHEN I THINK OF IT DURBIN AND DORGAN ARE FROM ILLINOIS AREN'T THEY...THEY HAVE SPOKEN LIKE THIS ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE ALONG WITH SEVERAL OF THEIR PALS LIKE MY OWN SILLY SENATORS.

I ADVISE THEM TO TOSS THEIR BIBLES...THEY ARE REALLY LOSING THEIR MINDS AND IT IS FUNNY TO SEE! DEVAL PATRICK THE BLACK GOVERNOR OF MASS. ALSO ATTENDS ONE OF THESE CHURCHES IN BOSTON.. THUS FAR HIS CAREER IN MASS. HAS BEEN A FAILURE DESPITE ALL HIS YES WE CAN FOLLOWERS! WHAT AN EXAMPLE AND WHAT BAD LUCK TO HAVE HIS NAME ALSO MENTIONED AS A FRIEND OF OBAMA'S !

I saw your interview tonight with Mr. Sharpton and as always he deflected every attempt to answer any tough questions. You attempted to have him respond to the fact that Rev. Wright was referring to white citizens and Sharpton tried to deny this. Sharpton suggested Wright's comments were directed at the Gov't. If he is to be on tomorrow night you should press him regarding Wright's reference to "rich white men/people" who have somehow kept the black population down. Here he refers to "white and men" and not the government. It is impossible for me to understand how a pastor could be allowed to preach the hate he does in any church! It is more troubling for me to understand how his congregation could allow this. My conclusion is that there remains much hate in the black community that has been fostered by Wright's and many church's like his that promotes the racial unrest in this country within the black community. Sharpton, Jackson, Wright and men like them would be out of business if soemhow racial hatred were eliminated. This begs the question in my mind that these "leaders" of the black community continue to promote racial baiting to continue their very reason to continue as the voice of the black community and earn a very subsatntial living from it! I never believed that Obama could be elected because we had not yet learned nor understood who he is and where he came from politically. He comes from the same cloth as all the other politicians and to think he is somehow different or a savior for politics or this country is laughable. Unless he withdraws he will probably win the Dem. nomination and if not we will see more racial accusations that the nomination was stolen somehow. In either case the Dems. have again managed to lose rather than gain support. McCain wins hands down against Obama!

Like MANY Americans; I too am disappointed in the present Administration and could easily be swayed to vote Democratic but based on what Democrats have offered as their BEST Presidential material (Clinton and Obama), I must say I'm not convinced to take a leap-of-faith so many of the Democrats seem to be willing to do.

Help me understand, Democrats offer the scorned wife of an adulterous husband, both whom demonstrate they are corrupt and an ex-muslim who attends a radical church and also has had corrupt dealings with a Chicago slum-lord..... these two DO NOT make responsible Presidential candidates? This is tantamount to putting a fox in a duck-suit to guard the chickens.

Obama has had opportunity to repudiate Rev. Wright's remarks yet he (pardon the pun) white-washed the Reverend's anti-American, anti-government, racial remarks saying that simply, "I don't agree with the Reverends remarks." Oh, that makes ME feel he's not racist!! If colors were reversed (Wright was a white preacher and Obama were also white attending a church talking white supremecy); I too would be attached by the Rainbow Coalition, Al Sharpton, ACLU, NAACP, ABC, MSNBC, NY Times, Boston Globe, ect.... undauntedly.

If Obama has attended this church for 17 to 20 years we must assume by Reverend Wright's upcoming retirement he's been there quite awhile. Why hasn't Obama changed churches if he disagreed with its preachings? It's NOT what this candidate has said that really bothers me; rather what he DOESN'T say.

This election will very likely encumber the newly elected President with an inherited war in Iraq; a failing American economy (and its currency abroad); high unemployment; growing unrest in Central and South America; Iran nearing completion of nuclear capability; unrest in Lebannon, Palestine, and Israel; unbridled illegal immigration; and a HUGE trade deficit...(just to name a few HOT tasks that must be resolved) and which candidate NOW seems most capable? NONE !!! So why have these real ISSUES NOT been discussed during this campaign? All we hear is what this candidate said about the other candidate but VERY LITTLE on key economic, labor, global relations, security, immigration, prison reform, social security, trade deficit, etc.... so Americans will have to "trust" a candidate after voting?

I automatically discount comments from contributors who claim others to be "un educated", "idiots" and the like when they can't even structure a literate sentence in English.

And if people aren't bright enough to connect the dots between a spiritual advisor of twenty years and his congregation's core belief system, they shouldn't even be taken seriously. I expect others to assume I have the same core belief system as the church I attend on a regular basis. I don't agree with EVERYTHING that is taught from the pulpit, but if I felt offended by core principles, I would leave and seek guidance elsewhere. I would not tolerate race baiting or an irreverence for this country from ANY preacher. My congregation is multi-ethnic and we celebrate each other's differences. In addition, we seek to tear down barriers rather than erect them. Christians should understand that Jesus came to level the playing field for all.

The intelligent people on these posts Black or WHite try and make decisions based on morality, faith, truth, etc. Than the radical only look at skin color, like some radical blacks, and thats the scary part. THe Imus thing reallly got to me and Obamas interview with Major G. on Fox where he lied about knowing and being at the CHurch and than said he had during the stupid speach of his. Didn't blink and eye. No apology for his lies. I think that he thought he was going to get a free pas and no one was going to dig into his past. You just gotta check out his voting record in the senate. Of course people like TYRONE will say that its bushes fault. Or maybe Feracon dropped out of space ship and cast a spell.

What I would like to say is about the phone call at 3 am in the morning . He made the remark about it that it should be the one with the best JUDGEMENT. I question his JUDGEMENT when he stayed in a church for 20 years with a so called Christian pastor cursing ,taking Gods name in vain in the pulpit cursing America and its people. We don't need someone like that. Someone that has sat and listened to a pastor with those kind of words. If I ever had a pastor speaking in the pulpit that kind of stuff I would tell him about it and be gone from the church that day and disown him

Look in the mirror people, before you are so eager to judge someone else, and instead of thinking on such a small scale, try looking at the bigger picture. I'm surprised at how easy it is to sway someone's opinion. One story and everyone runs with their tail between their legs. I thought Americans had more integrity that that.

Your question of holding Bill Clinton's wife responsible for his infidelity...is a legitimate one. The populist response should go like this; They'll BOTH be in the White House. The President and first lady (if Hillary is elected Bill would be first man ?) represent America and the team is only as strong as its weakest link. I subscribe to the old saying, "beside every great man is a great woman." If the Clintons regain the White House, America will have an adulterous first man and President who is corrupt and will never release her manuscripts to the public, nationalizes healthcare at a cost 5-times what present taxpayers pay each year. Do YOU trust your government with "carefully" handling and accounting for this much MORE of your money?

I guarantee Hillary has already picked her friends for healthcare positions with nice FAT salaries in new government administration offices and vehicles with fuel too... Of course they will first have to go to Italy, Greece, France, Canada to see how their healthcare systems are run (for comparison)...

Mr. Sharpton said that Pastor Wright's teachings are directed towards the GOV'T. Mr. Sharpton a lesson in U.S. Gov't. Our U.S. gov't is of the people, by the people, for the people (or somewhere along those lines in the US Constitution). EVERY AMERICAN IS THE U.S. GOVT. Therefore, Mr. Wright is directing his anger towards us all who are not black because all of his teachings are reverse racism. I think he is not different from white extremism. Barrack Hussein Obama - what do you really think of this country? Obama is not proud to be an American, even his wife is not proud to be an American. And they both want to reside in the symbol of America (The White House)? If the chickens are coming home to roost, I will not give the key to the hen house to Obama because he'll let the foxes in.

To America, you prove Mr. Obama point, you hate people who differ with you and this Minister served this country only to be called a racist. If you people who are all up in a frenzy regarding Rev. White were to meet him, and stop judging him, maybe some of the God in him will rub off on you. Your problem is not with Sen. Obama, you are afraid to look in the eyes of someone who has paid their dues in America and calls it like it is. America is not all roses, we have a lot of problems and you have proven with your hateful comments race is one of them. We are all racist, blacks, white, chinese, hispanics, indians, and other, it is what make up America, and instead of finding ways to hang this Minister, why are we not trying to solve this problem of race, which has nothing to do with Sen. Obama. How many people including myself has family members, church members, co-workers, friends who has made racist comments, or gay comments, or gender comments which we have laughed at, or just not in agreement to what was said but these persons have been in your life over 20 years and during that time you have not bothered to correct them when the statement was made. Fox has opened the doors to let all the negative comments be made without trying to bring the country, which is in a time of war come together, and by the way all races are fighting for us in this war. You don't have to vote for Sen. Obama but lets at least try to come together to solve the problem and not throw stones, I don't believe Rev. White is a racist, if so, read your Bible God says a lot of things you may not agree with but we serve him and ask him for help. Let's have positive conversation to get along, and have Ministers of all colors to discuss what has been taken out of context. If someone over the waters were to read these comments, it would be easy for them to suggest America which was know as the world's greatest country, can't get along with themselves, therefore leaving us open for disaster.

He said he'd fire Imus if he was employed by him. That spoke volumes to me. This he said while attending the biggest racist church in Illinois. Shame on you Obama.

I WAS RAISED AS A DEMOCRAT AND WAS FRIENDS WITH PRESIDENT
HARRY TRUMAN AT AGE 13 AND MEET AND KNEW PRESIDENT JOHNSON,
I WAS DETAILED ON SPECAIL ASSIGNMENT IN ST LOUIS POLICE DEPARTMENT AFTER PRESIDENT KENNEDY DEATH IN DALLAS, TEXAS. I SAW
A LOT OF RIOTS AND IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN AND ALSO WATTS RIOTS IN CALIFORNIA . THIS IS JUST A START OF WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING IN THE
U.S.A.. IF OBAMA LOSES TO CLINTON WE'LL HAVE RACE PROBLEMS, IF OBAMA LOSES TO McCAIN WE'LL HAVE RIOTS IN AMERICA.
THE COLOR RACE WANT US TO FEEL SORRY FOR THEM BECAUSE OF SLAVERY. THEY WEREN'T SLAVES. THEY BLAME THE WHITE RACE FOR THIS HAPPENING. THE CAPTAINS OF THE SLAVE SHIPS WENT TO AFRICA AND
TRADED WITH THE NATIVE CHIEFS, AND THE CHIEFS WENT TO OTHER
TRIBES AND CAPTURED OTHER AFRICANS AND TRADED THEM INTO SLAVERY. THE SCHOOLS TODAY BURY THE HISTORY OF THEIR OWN KIND. I HAVE TALKED WITH SLAVE OWNERS AND SLAVES THAT WERE NEAR 100 YEARS OF AGE IN 1966. THE OLD WOMAN SLAVE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
HER OWNERS. SHE TOLD ME ABOUT HER LIFE BEFORE HER HUSBAND DIED
AND OF HER LITTLE SON SHE HAD BEEN 13 YEARS OF AGE IN CIVIL WAR.
I ASKED ICF SHE HAD BEEN MISTREATED BY HER OWNERS. SHE INFORMED
THEY WERE KIND AND CARING FOR HER AND SHE HAD BEGGED TO STAY
WITH THEM EVEN THOUGH SEE WAS THEN A FREE PERSON. SHE STATED FREE TO DO WHAT? I TALKED WITH THE SLAVE OWNER DAUGHTER AGE
96 YEARS. I ASK DID YOU BEAT YOUR SLAVES? HER ANSWER WAS NO, WHY WOULD YOU IF THEY WERE BEAT UP OR SICK THEY WERE UNABLE TO WORK. IF THEY GOT SICK YOU GOT A DOCTOR FOR THEM. THESE WOMEN LIVED ACROSS TOWN FROM EACH OTHER AND THEIR STORIES WERE BOTH THE SAME, AND NEITHER HAD A PHONE WHERE THEY COULD TALK TO EACH OTHER.
IF OBAMA GETS IN TO THE WHITE HOUSE IT WILL BECOME THE BLACK
HOUSE. THIS COUNTRY WILL BE IN BAD SHAPE. REV. WRIGHT WILL MUST
LIKLY BE SECRETARY OF STATE.
IF PEOPLE DON'T WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES THEY MAY BE PUSHING
UP THE ROSES. I STATED EARLIER THAT WE ARE IN FOR A LOT OF TROUBLE BY NOVEMBER ,2008. IF OBAMA LOSES TO CLINTON THEIR WILL BE AN UP-RISING. IF OBAMA LOSES TO McCAIN THERE WILL BE AN UP-RISING. THE
PEOPLE OF COLOR WANTED INTAGRATED SCHOOLS IN THE 1950 IN U.S.
AND NOW THEY WANT THEIR CHURCHS SEGREGATED AND NO WHITES AT
REV. WRIGHTS CHURCH BECAUSE THEY OR ANTI-AMERICAN AND PREACHING IT. IF OBAMA IS SUCH AN EDUCATED MAN , YOU WOULD THINK HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE SEEN THROUGH REV. WRIGHT. HOW COULD OBAMA BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH OTHER ENEMIES OF THE U. S.
OR WOULD HE TRY. MAY BE THIS WILL END UP IN ANOTHER CIVIL WAR HERE
IN THIS COUNTRY.
THE PEOPLE OF COLOR WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED THEY WANT TO KEEP
THE WHITES FEELING GUILTY ABOUT SLAVERY. THEY WEREN'T SLAVES !!
IT'S A SHAME PRESIDENT LINCOLN DIDN'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE
THESE PEOPLE BACK TO THEIR ROOTS JUST THINK OF THE WONDERFUL
NATION THEY COULD HAVE MADE IN AFRICA AFTER ALL THEY DON'T WANT
THE WHITES.

Anyone who believes that Obama would belong to a church for 20 years, yet not be aware of the views and hateful, racist comments of his pastor and mentor is ignorant beyond words! You don't belong to a church for 20 years if you don't believe in and share the same views. Obama & his wife are allowing their 2 young daughters to be subjected to this hateful rhetoric. The Obamas are nothing more than America-hating racists, who don't have a patriotic bone in their bodies. They have an agenda, and it is *not* to unite this country, but to divide!

To those commenting about posters "jumping" to conclusions... or making "hasty" judgements...

The process of electing a representative or President is suppose to include making judgements about a candidate of choice, is it not? Those who defend Obama's "choice" or "judgement" in churches have thus far offered a poor argument in defending him. Obama maintaining his attendance in Reverend Wright's church begs our scrutiny BECAUSE he is a candidate for the highest office in OUR land. As such, responsible voters MUST judge carefully who we choose to put in office (and this includes husband AND wife together). I wouldn't vote for a candidate who's husband or wife were alcoholic, adulterous, untrustworthy, etc... as these do NOT represent the BEST of what America has to offer.

#353 - You are reading one thing. You have absolutely no idea of the entire context of the dealings and workings of Jesus Christ. Start reading your Bible. THeres more to it than 10 words. Rev. Wright may have accepted Christ as his Savior, maybe be Saved and wind up in Heaven but he will be paying for those sins. Christ said we must confess our sins. Wright hasn't done that because he's still spouting hate. Have you ever heard Jesus speak. Just start reading your Bible and you will find out that Jesus words are just a "LITTLE" different than the so called "Reverand" Wrights.

OBAMA THE ANTICHRIST? I DON'T THINK SO. HE'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT!

HE JUST NEEDS TO MAKE A PILGRIMAGE BACK TO AFRICA, AND TAKE ALL HIS ANTI-AMERICAN PALS WITH HIM.

Greta,
From the very beginning I had doubts & questions of Obama! I received emails of him--one where he is standing in front of an American flag with Hillary Clinton! She has her hand on her heart,but I notice HE DOES NOT,and I understand he WILL NOT wear the little flag pin on his lapel! My question is HOW WILL HE DO THIS AS PRESIDENT OF THE US for he will be doing alot of this if nominated! In his address on RACE he said he could not disown Wright for he was one that helped him find Christ,but yet what I have seen on TV was nothing of Christ & the congregation was laughing & supporting his DEMEANING & DEUROGATORY comments! Also,I cannot believe that Obama lets his daughters listen to this kind of message in a church where they are being taught of HATE of the US!! Obama stated also that around the 50's & 60's when segregation was going on that Wright had been angered over this! Well,EXCUSE ME,I thought we had gotten through all this,but I guess not! Now after almost 60 years later I turn on the TV to hear this man in a church saying BAD things of the US of America---I am very ANGERED myself! If I went into that church & heard this I would not have returned! I cannot see OBAMA as PRESIDENT OF THE US--we knew very little of him from the beginning,and to even think we could TRUST him with our military! Lets wake up people-- GOD BLESS AMERICA & our troops! WE MUST STAND TOGETHER OR DIVIDED WE FALL!
Greta,we love you & your show! All I can say is you GIT R DONE with all the news!

Thanks,
Martha

Yes I do think Obama has more to hide, but I also think Hillary does too, she's just better at hiding things. I really wish the media would stop reporting this as a race thing. We all have the freedom of speech, but what scares me, is that democrats are about to elect a man for president that does believe in the anti-american things we heard, we heard it in one of Michelles speeches and Obama lied about it at first. I believe it was over 600,000 men (americans) died during the civil war to free slaves. Americans have made mistakes and will continue too, because americans are not perfect. I am not a demorcat and will vote with my party because of the issues, but my point is: please stop the racist talk (unless more information is found out to pretain to it), it does no one any good. I do hope the churches that do talk like this in their church will learn, this does not help their community and if it continues, how can we truly united.

#452 Trent - You hate Fox News because you don't want the truth. Go to CNN and listen to their "tip toe through the tulips theme". Don't you think most of us hate hearing these things, but in order to vote for the President Of THe United States Of AMerican, to put a Man in office that doesn't hate his country, A Man Who WIll Protect the Men & Women that are protecting YOU, try looking past your own little self and think of our world. Think of the good of our nation. There are always those on these posts who are stuck in only "their" world. Well this position of power is about more than you and I. CREATE stories. That implies that they made them up. Get a GRIP here. These are facts that I Thank God I can hear so I CAN MAKE A VOTE that might make a difference. Your position is your own and you have the right to post it but let me tell you "people like you are a huge disapointment". My father faught in WWII and my Husband during VIetnam for your right to hide your head and the sand and "be afraid". I'm glad the men in my life weren't. THEY WERE BRAVE!

Nothing Obama said from now on is going to make us change our mind on him now. I wish he will just leave and disaappear instead of wasting his time & money campaingning. He is not going to be nominated. Not with this racket carrying on against him as long as he is there. So why doesen't he do us a favor & resign, & spare us the agony.

WHO IS BARACK OBMANA? IS HE ANOTHER POWER PLAY BY THE
SATANIC CULT KNOWN AS ISLAM, TO CONQUER AMERICA & RELIEVE
US OF YOUR CULTURE & FREEDOMS? TO SUBJECT AMERICANS TO
WORSHIP ALLAH & EXCEPT THE WRITINGS OF ELIJAH MOHAMMED, ANTI-
SEMITE, MURDERER, PERVERT & THE GREATEST FALSE PROPHET OF ALL
TIME. EITHER YOU ACCEPT ISLAM OR LOSE YOUR HEAD. I BELIEVE THIS IS
VERY POSSIBLE. READ ON FOR I OF MY REASONS. THE DEMISE OF
LIBERISM & FREEDOM As the Liberals and Democrats continue to figure
out methods to remove America's military and political presence in Iraq, Afghanistan
and other places in the world they are without a clue what an awesome responsibility
America has to all peoples of the world to maintain and introduce freedom and liberty
to as many of the people and countries that we can.
This format is necessary if freedom is going to survive in America. If liberty
and freedom are lost, or the chance thereof, in these other countries it will more than
likely be lost in America sooner or later, and once it is gone, I believe this would end
freedom in America forever. If the liberals have their way and we surrender to Islam and
if Islam is able to conquer America as they promised they will, with the help of the
liberal Democrats, impose their evil death cult on the people of America, the
Democrats, their Icons and all their simpleton friends, backers and women stand to
be the biggest losers.

To CB Jones:
I respect most of what you had to say #443 except several points in your words below,

"If you people who are all up in a frenzy regarding Rev. White were to meet him, and stop judging him, maybe some of the God in him will rub off on you. Your problem is not with Sen. Obama, you are afraid to look in the eyes of someone who has paid their dues in America and calls it like it is."

As you referenced, "you people" begs to infer that you too catagorize folks into at least two groups, "us" and "you" and this, by your own words, can be misinterpreted by many. Shouldn't it really be "some" as not ALL posters here fit in your description of "you people."

Secondly, if we were to meet Reverend "White" (Wright) I sincerely disagree that any man who spouts such words of hate and racism has very much "GOD" in him any more to "rub off." Besides, I left the congregation of a church when the church appointed a gay priest... I didn't believe some interpretations of scriptures were in line with what I wanted for me or my family....my duty, my choice. Obama too has had a choice, has he not?

Third, you said, "...you are afraid to look in the eyes of someone who has paid their dues in America." Just what do you mean by Obama having "paid his dues in America?" Exactly when has a man or woman "paid his/her dues?" Is this directed at his being a black man, muslim, taxpayer, citizen, or exactly what? You infer that he has paid some sort of debt and therefore is "entitled" to our support? I can only hope you can offer a better argument than this before any responsible voter could support Obama...actually YOU should be MORE critical of those you choose to support. Paying some sort of dues is just insufficient as an argument in favor of YOUR choice.

THEY CAN'T BE PROUD OF AMERICA BECAUSE THEY WERN'T HERE WHEN AMERICA DID ANYTHING GREAT. WELL, THEY WERN'T HERE WHEN THERE WAS SLAVERY EITHER. BUT THEY DON'T STOP BELLY ACHING ABOUT THAT. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO HATE ME. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A SLAVE, NEITHER HAVE ANY OF MY ANCESTORS. THEY DON'T HATE US BECAUSE WE ARE WHITE, THEY HATE US BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK.

2008-03-20 00:33:54 ET

Tyrone, freedom of speech is why you are able to say the trash you have and that is because of the great country we have that people liek you are trying to continually divide because you don't have the intelligebce to know right from wrong, good judgment from poor judgment, anti-Americanism vs. true Americans/ As we have all observed, you have viciously attacked a lady from Texas without proof os such views or knowing the situation. You, like Wright have displayed your hatred for this country and many of the people that have been part of making this country the great country it is. Because of your inability to move forward and let this nation heal, we will all continue to suffer. Not just blacks, but all AMERICANS. This whole issue is relevant and if you are too lame to see that then perhaps you need to become more educated. In addition, I have worked in a government setting that is primarily Democrats and very liberal however, after alll that has become known over the past weeks, the majority of people (of all colors) say that this has actually shown Americans that we are still quite divided because of people that preach hatred and then the followers that feel hatred is their right, and continue to demonstrate how they are so deprived. Yet we as Americans support many of the anti-Amwricans and racists with our tax dollars. Tyrone, you think your so smart, justify that one or perhaps you are one of those that we support. If you can't see the harm Wright has done and the influence that 20 years has made on Obama then you are the one that is blind and needs to oprn your eyes. Many of us have opened our eyes in time. Thank God and God Bless this grea country that allows people like yourself yo display such hatred even though you have the privilege to live in the besy country in the world. If America isn't good enough for you perhaps you should move to a country where you can live under dictatorship. Is that your idea of how a country should be run?

Folks they HATE white people and I was watching the stream running across the bottom of the screen while Hannity was on, and they want ALL blacks released from prison, for us to pay them for them having been slaves, etc......& now THIS idiot Obama and his "rev"--WAKE UP AMERICA its getting scary out there-- Can you even imagine if a KKK member was to come on tv and start ranting about things?? Al & Jesse would fall all over each other getting to the microphone first--The Klan cannot speak about anything, but the Panthers can--.........how one-sided is this?
Obama should quietly leave the room--I think everyone can see where he is from and what he stands for--He is only stirring up trouble that is best left alone. THIS is NOT a person that needs to be in a position of authority--if he was to be, we are surely doomed....God forbid he gets any further with his campaign.

Most of you missed the point of Obama's speech on race. He was making a point of how older black people still feel the pain of discrimination from their experiences and the stories told by their parents. He didn't throw his grandmother over the railroad tracks as Karl Rove said - instead he was trying to compare how his own grandmother sometimes spoke even though she loved him and tried to point out that was his explanation of his pastor who spoke in such a harsh way but who had been a successful pastor for 20 years.
Rev. Falwell and Pat Robertson and many Evangelical preachers speak in this way, gear up the excitement and some people like this type of preaching.

2008-03-20 00:55:50 ET

What Obama is hiding is that he is a member of a "church" that promotes "black liberation theology" J. Wright himself referred to James Hal Cone's writing's on Hannity's show as a core of his beliefs and black liberation theology-if you read Cone's writting about black liberation theology it clearly states "ONLY blacks are chosen by God", "ALL whites are responsible for white oppression", "the white church is a manifestaion of the anti-christ", "it's true blacks hate whites but black hatred is not racism","if God is not for us AND against white people he is a murderer","the task of black theology is to kill gods that do not belong to the black community"-these are James Hal Cone's views-
bio from wikki follows:
James Cone was the first person to create a systematic Black theology. He felt that Black Christians in Northern America should not follow the "white Church", as it had failed to support them in their struggle for equal rights.

Dr. Cone has explained the his theology as follows:
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the DESTRUCTION OF THE WHITE ENEMY. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of BLACK PEOPLE TO DESTROY THEIR OPPRESSORS here and now by ANY MEANS AT THEIR DISPOSAL. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.

Some of Cones quotes have drawn controversy. Barak Obama's former minister Jeremiah Wright was inspired by Cone. Although Obama has condemned some of most controversial statements of Wright as needlessly divisive and distorted, Wright's ministry is founded on the black theology that Cone helped to create.

"To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people." [Black Theology and Black Power, pp. 139-140].
"While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism." [Black Theology and Black Power, p. 15]
"All white men are responsible for white oppression." [Black Theology and Black Power, p. 24]
"Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man "the devil." [Black Theology and Black Power, p. 40]
"If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist, the white church seems to be a manifestation of it." [Black Theology and Black Power, p. 73]

Mr. Obama should answer the people of this country that he hopes to lead as to why he has not rejected ENTIRELY this "church" and it's radical racist-anti-American leader. Flowery, poetic speeches will no longer make the grade!!!

For so long Obama had America snowballed. Now this controversy is hitting him like an avalanche, and he is not handling the negative press all that well. I was never going to vote for him to start with, but now hopefully all these people that voted for him will see him for who he really is, just another politician who will say whatever it takes to get elected. He denounces the statements said by Reverend Wright but he stays in his congregation for over twenty years?, i do not believe Obama has addressed this to the American people honestly or even partially. He will never do this because he knows doing so will destroy his political career. He claims to want to unite America, but all he is really doing is creating a racial rift that will cripple the Democratic Party for a very long time. Perhaps this is a blessing for America, because the thought of Obama as President is down-right scary.

After listening to Obama's Pastor, and now hearing that this is normal black theology taught in many black churchs, how are whites and blacks supposed to come together and reconcile our differences. How can blacks ever reach out and forgive white people if they hear this hate speech every Sunday from the pulpit?

I now understand why so many blacks are angry, and blame whites and people in power for all there problems, instead of accepting any personal responsiblity for there own actions. They hear this hate and blame everyone else mentality every Sunday from there trusted spiritual leaders.

tla
2008-03-20 01:35:42 ET

Obama has fooled the majority of this country. Everyone, including the white community accepted him at face value while he was coddled and supported by the majority of news stations/papers.

Obama has been caught in a lie in terms of what he was aware of and what he had heard in Wright's church.

The fact that he continually supports Rev. Wright is proof that he he shares the Rev.'s racist and hatefilled views. Not only this, Obama throws his white grandmother, who practically raised him, under the bus in order to save his spiritual advisor and political aspirations. It surely allows a clear view of just what kind of judgement he has now and would have as president of the United States. Where Obama places his loyalty clearly identifies the fact that racial hatred is more important to him then his own grandmother.

All of this clearly illuminates just where racism today lies. I am white with Native American heritage. I see my children in school with their friends and they do not see color. They accept all races as equal and that is how it should be. The saddest statements that I have read or heard throughout this whole issue is that this is typical of black churches across this country. I don't believe this. I have a very good friend who is a black preacher. I have attended his services many times and never once have heard any teachings or rantings along these lines.

Racism is wrong. It is just as wrong for blacks to harbor it as it is for whites to. If any other candidate who ran or is running for president had of sat through one speach of David Duke, their career would be over. I am sick to death of the double standard. We are all equal today. Slavery is long gone. Get over it and promote peace among the races and not hatred.

Obama should be finished in this competition. His true colors have been shown. It is my hope that everyone, including the black community, will not support any candidate that promotes or supports racist views.

Obama conveniently made this about race..This is not really about race its about supporting An American Hater. Making This man who hates America his spiritual advisor, his mentor and his family member as he so elequently said.
A releationship of 20 yars..I think Obama feels the same way, he has slipped on a few occasions like not putting his had on his heart as Amerians were saing the pledge of alligence. Not wanting to put our flag on his lapel, and his wife saying for the first time she was proud of America, all this is the influence of this rediculously hateful preacher. The sadness is that Obama stood there fore twenty years, let his children listen to these hateful words towards America. Bottom line, do we want a president that thinks of An American Hater his friend, his uncle, his religious insperator and worse than anything his mentor. Lets open up our eyes and say NO to Obama becasue we need a president that does not think Hating America is just part of a personality like his white grandmothers. He easily threw his grandmother under the bus to make it seem like this is all about racisim..ITS NOT ABOUT RACE, ITS ABOUT THE BAD JUDGEMENT OF MAKING WRIGHT (a man that hates America) HIS MENTOR...WHERE IS REVERAND WRIGHT NOW???HIDING LIKE A THEIF IN THE NIGHT..HE NEEDS TO GET ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AND BEG FOR FORGIVENESS...I SAY NO NO NO FOR OBAMA AND HIS ENTORAGE

A releationship of 20 yars..I think Obama feels the same way, he has slipped on a few occasions like not putting his had on his heart as Amerians were saing the pledge of alligence.

Obama wouldn’t salute the Amerian Flag, nor wear the Flag pin on his lapel but when trying to justify his pastors hate America remarks he has eight United States flages in the back ground. I am not ashamed of this country and I never have been, but I am ashamed of the people who think this kind of behavior is acceptable and over look it just to get a black man elected to the highest office in this country. I had nothing against this man, but I have plenty against his believes.

Is there any doubt among rational minds that Obama's pastor embraces a radical ideology and calls it Christianity? The question is why did Obama only denounce him rather than disown him? If elected president, Obama will bring his spiritual "mentor" into the White House. Incidentally, Obama never voted against the war nor did he vote for the war because HE WAS NOT,AT THAT TIME, A SEATING U.S. SENATOR!!!

Debbie
2008-03-20 01:38:16 ET

It's a shame that every January the public schools teach Martin Lurther Kings diversity to the children who have no idea of color, then we have Reverend Wright preaching and teaching racism. Why is Obama so proud of his black half what about his white half. He should have presented himself as a white/black man. The only reason he plays the black side is to use the race card to get where he wants, just like the black women with children who gets her rent paid, gas bill, etc. I was a single mother with little income never got any help. That's another story.

To Tyron-Obama never had a vote on the war. He was not in the Senate when the vote was taken. Obama made a speech against the war. Since he has been in the Senate he has voted on the war the same way that Hillary has voted. Obama has not made good judgement for 20 years when associating with Rev., Wrightt for hating America.

Why are the Black people of America suppose to "reach out & forgive" White people? If it was not for the White American people, than they may still be inslaved in their own country of Africa. They should be Thanking White Americans! Do they not understand that we gave them the freedom they did not have? Do you think they would be going to great schools? What about making all their $millions for learning how to & play "White" American Sports?

The racists are people who sit for 20 years listening to hatred against white Americans, do or say NOTHING and feel they should be President!!! Doesn't sound like CHANGE I can believe.

Take a good look at black liberation theology. It isn't Christianity as most of us understand that term. Developed in the U. S. by James Cone, it is the view that Jesus is the personal savior and liberator of the oppressed black person, that Jesus will free them from their oppressors, the whites who are the cause of their oppression. Obama is portraying his church to be simply a Christian Church that happens to have a fiery pastor with SOME views he doesn't agree with. But this is not a Christian Church as most of the white community understands it. Someone needs to ask Obama if he believes in black liberation theology.

You say it is only the racist who say they will not vote for him. I never planned on voting for him because of his FAR LEFT stances on the issues. Put Colin Powell in the race and i would vote for him in a heartbeat. Its people who believe a radical such as Obama would destroy our country, race has NOTHING to do with it. Perhaps you are one of those bleeding hearts who HATES people who care about America's security.

To: Annie#232- and Tyrone #11- Barack Hussein Obama's father is Black Muslim from Kenya, Africa he was not a U.S. citizen. He come to Hawai to study. Meet a white girl from Wichita, Kansas, married his mother son Barack was born. Mr. Obama had to go back to his country due to some kind of political problem. Little Barack was born in Honolulu, Hawai. Mrs. Obama joint her husband in Kenya. Divorced him when Barack was 2 years old, I understand the divorce took place shorthly when she went to Kenya. Mr. Obama had 3 wifes the Muslim religion beleive in bigotry, Barack,s mom remarried with another Muslin from Jakarta, Indonisia, the second husband had 4 wifes. Barack Hussein Obama attended muslim schools.He does have several half brothers, sisters uncles due to fathers's multiple wifes. See New York Times web site for exact details on Barack Hussein Obama family's history and biography.
TYRONE #11 - Barack Hussein Obama concealed his identity to YOU, YOUNG VOTERS, AFRICAN AMERICANS AND ALL CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOW? He never disclosed his Muslim faith, his white family, his huge family due to Muslim beleive in BIGOTRY, his middle name, He does not pledge to the Allegiance, and frankly he cannot sing our beautiful NATIONAL ANTEM, HOW DID HE PAY FOR HIS EDUCATION? MARRIED A BLACK GIRL BECAUSE HER ANCESTORS WERE SLAVES, HE IS A LIAR AND I THINK HE IS GOING TO STEAL OUR FREEDOM. TYRONE, you need to travel outside of our continent, you will come back and kiss the ground of our U.S.A, if you thing the U.S.A is treating you bad, then go Outside of U.S.A maybe Africa, Algeria, Durfu, Afganastan, Kosovo and many other countries you will learn who we are!! STOP AND THINK!! WE, AMERICANS OUR OBJECTION IS TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY, THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HE IS THE RACIST BECAUSE WHEN YOU CONVERT FROM MUSLIM TO CHRISTIANITY IT IS A COVER UP FOR AN ATTACK. A MALE MUSLIM IS ALWAYS A MUSLIM IT IS IN THE KORAN. Educate yourself before you call every body " IDIOTS" EXCEPT YOURSELF!!! DO YOU HAVE A DISTURBING FAILURE?

But before I mentioned that , Barack only had a 16.5% chance in being the first black person voted into office, since he is only half black?

Reverand Wright sounds like a speeker for the Black Panthers violent movement from the 1960's and Senator Obama is acting like a card carrying deeply involved member activist that is fully committed and will destroy our democratic party. Obama is not too far left but he is actually too far (Reverand WRIGHT). If Don Imus had to go then (Obama DEFINATELY GOT TO GO). Just drop out. All Obama is doing is hand feeding the Republicans the election. And for the record WOMEN were enslaved way before African Americans. GO SENATOR CLINTON. And if Michigan and Florida are not counted it seems to me that would be (TAXATION without REPRESENTATION) for millions of voters in a Democratic country. That's hitting the nail on the head.

i think people are really playing race card instead of thinking what to bring the country forward. At first, people were talking about Obama being a Muslim, now he Belongs to Anti- American church. What is really wrong with American. Pastor Wright is actually the only Pastor who will call a goat a goat rather play to the Gallery. Obama cannot be held responsible for whatever his Pastor says. I have never seen anyone stand up to oppose the Pastor in the church Before. Sean Hannity has been attacking Obama openly.

Race is and will always be an issue, even if Barack happens to become president (God Forgive us) or not. We are a melting pot of all races, creeds and nationalities and of coarse there will always be tension amongst the white man. I just dont understand the black people complaining about slavery? They are better off that it happened. If anybody should be upset of not having much and left out, it would be the American Indians! This was ther land to start with.

There is nothing fair or balanced about this question or site. Some of you spew as much hate as you say Rev Wright does. Most of you lean right & there was NO WAY YOU WERE GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM EVEN IT WASN'T FOR REV WRIGHT!!! I guess Jerry Farwell or Pat Robertson blaming 9/11 on the feminiest & gays means nothing. And before any of you say that neither of them were spiritual leaders for any Republican Presidents, they sure as hell all reach out to them for their support. Keep him out of the White House, he might put us in prison camps or let terrorist destroy our country. Stop drinking the hate cool-aid. The story from some news sight claiming to have proof was at one of those surmons where Rev Wright was preaching turned out to be totally false. But you people hear wouldn't let a little thing like truth get in the way of you hate for Barak Obama. And this is for you Garry # 510. Thank you for for letting those slaves come over here & work in those cotton fields & if they didn't work hard enough hanging them!!! And I want to thank you for bashing their heads in the 40's, 50's, & 60's b/c they wanted the same rights you have. What were black people thinking, that maybe we are entitled to the same rights as white people. I didn't realize how much of a debt of gratitude we owe you. Where can I send the check??? WHAT A JACK-ASS!!!!!!! As for Debbie # 512 my family for 4 generations has served & fought since WWII in the U.S. Army & the United States Marine Corps. so you could have the freedom to write that idiotic post!!!! Post #507 Barak never ran as a black candidate. Race was never mentioned until the right wing media & the Clintons had a problem with African Americans overwelmingly voting for him. Debbie I'm so glad that you understand that having a name like Barak Obama is having such an easy time becoming President. I guess the same white woman that lives in the trailer with her kids while her boyfriend abuses her has black people to blame for that too huh??? You are a wonderful human being...

From the beginning of the Presidential race the candidates were referred to as the first woman running and the first African American running. Obama and Clinton made the same references and how history will be made. By the way you can make the check out for all your gratitude to Trinity Church.

Both fathers are non U.S. citizens and did not reside in the U.S .The mom was a white ethiest from Wichita, Kansas. He attended Madrasa school. Rev. Jeremiah Wrights did convert Barack Hussein Obama to Christianity 20 years ago. The problem it is not the religion, nor the color, it is the extremist muslims terrorism, we must be vigilante. Why take a chance? We will have a Black president someday, why take a risk with Barack Hussein Obama he concealed too many secrets. He is not black nor white, he is not Christian or Muslim, He is not racist or racist? Too dangerous to be near the BUTTON!!!!! BUSH IS FIGHTING THE WAR IN IRAQ - WITH BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, WE WILL BE FIGHTING THE WAR IN OUR SOIL. BEWARE AMERICA!!!

He must be of "COLOR", she has not posted in hours!!!LOL.

Heres a serious question?
If Barack was in the olympics as a runner and the American team had no room for him to run in the olympics, does he have dual citizenship with Africa (from his Fathers side) and would he be able to represent Africa????
If so, I thought if wanted to becaome a United States President, that you were to be 100% American?

Just a reminder please try and do the poll question to the viewers if they think
Barack Obama should continue in the Presidential Race or should he step down. Curious on what the answer would be. Thanks for letting us participate!!!!!!!

Lisa in Michigan
2008-03-20 04:10:46 ET

Garry #586 Yes he would be able to represent Africa(thanks to all of Oprah's donations and schools) remember her heart led her to Barack Obama not his color. And if you accuse him of not being 100% American that I suppose would be considered racist. Maybel that question could be best answered by Antwon or Jeremiah Wright and if they can't answer the question they can blame it on the Clintons. They seem to be responsible for all of Obama's demise.

About the illegal aliens issue.... boy we can go all night on that one with pretty much any candidate.

Lisa in Michigan
2008-03-20 04:34:46 ET

You'll laugh I'm sure, but I am a Hillary Clinton supporter. She has evolved well, and has done alot of things since being 1st Lady and in the Senate. Economy was good during the Clinton years and I truly believe she can turn this country around. Can't blame all of Bills indiscretions on her. Everyone always brings up NAFTA but seriously we need some trade for this country to survive, but it does need to be looked at and revised and I believe she can do that. Plus she has proven she can stand with the "Big Boys" and that's a good thing. Hell she couldn't do any worse than Bush, after all he calls the war in Iraq somewhat romantic. That's another Moron!!!!!!!!!!! I believe she would be effective and a strong President.

Garry
2008-03-20 04:41:17 ET

Wow!! What are you, a politician or what? I've never talked to a woman that was so involved with politics. You make me fill stupid. I am a Bush supporter and I do not believe the war is a joke. I will vote for McCain now that Huckabee is not running. I really thought Huckabee would of made a decent if not good president. One thing forsure, nobody could out debate him.
I guess that you know a bit of me, that you will not want to keep chatting? Am I correct.

Lisa in Michigan
2008-03-20 04:42:21 ET

Yes there are a lot of muslims here, especially in Dearborn. I don't believe in illegal aliens having valid drivers license's, I believe if they are allowed to enter here the have to take the proper steps in becoming a citizen, and English is the primary language. If people want to learn other languages that's fine but English is the language here learn it and use it. Save the ethnic languages for at home. I speak Polish but it was for my grandparents but I never expected stop signs, telephone recordings etc. to reflect that. Other countries don't change their language for us.

2008-03-20 04:46:34 ET

Well Garry thanks for chatting it has been fun. My son should be waking up at about 7:30 am and I'm sure he'll be ready to go. Tune in tomorrow I wonder what the topics will be. Hopefully the headline will say Barack Obama has decided to drop out of the race for the good of the Democratic Party!!!!

Garry
2008-03-20 04:47:19 ET

But Lisa, She Cries!!
I don't want my president to start tearing up when times get tough. And how can we afford all this healthcare she is promising to all Americans? That is going to cost more than what we are spending on the war in Iraq.

Yes, we do need some trade in this country, but it needs to go both ways.

Garry, Hillary may occasional show an emotion but let's face facts either George Bush is still an alcoholic or his brain is the egg in the frying pan. Before I had my son in 2006 I worked in The Emergency Room at Henry Ford Hospital and then went into Private Practice with one of the Doctors. People use the E.R. just as you would go to your Internal Med or Family Prac physcian. Do you have any idea how much this costs?????????????? What has Bush done?????????? And god forbid McCain admits to not knowing much about the economy. Its up to the ins companies to lower rates so individuals can purchase(fat chance) thanks to the wonderful Bush economy, Maybe Bush can borrow more money from China to help us pay for that too!!!!!!!!!!! And companies love to hire people contingent or part time so they do not have to offer insurance to employee's so with this booming economy of George Bush people cannot afford. But if people go to the E.R. for basic care, people with insurance have their rates raised to cover people without insurance who rack up E.R. costs because they have no other choice. Maybe Universal Heath Care is not the answer but something needs to be done, people need healthcare. You are correct trade does work both ways, this is why it needs to be revised to benefit the U.S. jobs not send jobs out of the country. Maybe Bush should cry and the American people might actually say something good about him. Hey George this Bud's for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am willing to give Hillary's healthcare a chance it does cover more than Obama's.

For anyone who thinks the Good Pastor was only speaking the truth and for Mr. Obama, let me ask you this: WHERE IS PASTOR WRIGHT NOW DAYS? Why isn't he out there in the public eye clarifying his noble sermons? He sure enjoyed running his mouth when he was preaching but where is he now when people have questions? And where are you Mrs. Obama? You've been stating your children are your main priority-----why don't you tell us why a great Mom such as yourself would take her children to listen to the hate spewed by your pastor? Come out come out wherever you are!!!!

My concern is that Rev Wright would remain as Obama's spiritual advisor if he is elected President. Would they be praying together in the White House for God to damn America? Or, coming up with a Whites only HIV virus? How can a Presidential candidate align himself/h erself with a spiritual advisor such as Rev Wright? Some "uncles" are just abusive and hateful. One should avoid them.

Steve
2008-03-20 07:26:33 ET

I would be curious to know how many white people go to Rev. Wright's church. If Obamba is not a racist as he claims, I would think there should be a good mix. What do you think Greta?

Obama & Hillary would pull out of Iraq. Thats their words NOT mine. That means that the Brave Men & Women who have died to free these "REAL enslaved" people will all be in vain. The Iraq people ARE leading a different life and are worried about our leaving and Osama taking over. The surge is working! God BLess THe Men & Women of our USA. I'm so very proud of you all! You have freed Iraq! Their very freedom and lives are because of your bravery. I just Ollie North on Fox and had tears in my eyes and just had proclaim my admiration to you all! My husband served during Vietnam and my Dad during WWII. I could't be more proud of my family and others who have served. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Keep praying that those cowards do NOT get into office. There is HOPE!

To Gary & Lisa in Michigan. Whether it's from Rev Wright or people like you who have these stereo types & hatred the races it's wrong. But to see the hatred that Gary spews in this day & age is sad. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REV WRIGHT OR YOU GARY!!!!! For your info Gary MY MOTHER NOR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY HAVE EVER BEEN ON WELFARE!!!! Might I remind you that there are more whites on welfare than blacks. It's not too hot in the kitchen Lisa in Michigan. I do have a job. It's keeping you safe from the criminals that are behind bars in the federal prison system. Which for your info the majority of the prison population happens white. It takes more than a few misguided people like Gary & you to keep me from repsonding to these stupid comments you've made. Like I said earlier I my family for four generations defended the right to have the hate you do for blacks. Lastly, no Lisa in Michigan there was no misprint. Gary said Blacks should be thanking white america for our freedom. So I was just thanking him for all the blood that we spilled for wanting equal rights like whites back then. You all need to get a life!!!!!!

My point exactly. I've never said white people have opressed me in any way in any of these blogs. Terrorist don't care who they kill. We are all the enemy to them. It is for that reason I thing that racism needs to end. I do not hate white people The fact that I would lay down my life for anyone white, black, green, yellow or purple makes no difference. We all bleed red. I was asked why I asked why blacks & whites see America with two different experiences.
I gave her some examples why. I live in a 90% white area & my kids attend a 90% white school. If I was the racist you claim I am that wouldn't be happening.

2008-03-20 12:03:14 ET

It should not have taken this long for americans to find out about Obama. We already know Clintons background, yet no one checked into Obama's. I've felt all along he was hiding something and that no one would "dig" for the truth. He wants change, yet what change? I've never heard him say! I find it very worrisome that the black panthers identify with him. Doesn't that worry others? I know there are white racists, but no one talks about the black racists in this country. I assume that it not POLITICALLY CORRECT' TO SPEAK OF HOW THE BLACK COMMUNITY FEELS ABOUT WHITES. I am not a racist, nor do I associate with others who make racist comments. I am not running for president of the USA. If Clinton was listening to David Duke spew venom for 20 years , she would be crusified by the press. I just keep hearing that Obama gave a speech likened to MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. I HAVE A DREAM. I think not!!!!!!He should drop out of the presidential race. This man has never put his hand over his heart for this country's flag, while standing next to others doing so. Until now he's been given a free ride. It's time that this pied piper's followers see who they have blindly followed. I would also like to know what Ted & Caroline Kennedy think of the man they endorsed now. Of couse Sharpton & J. Jackson will still support him. That tells me they only think a racist is a white person. Shame on them. The Dems. need to step in and get rid of this racist Obama. We are not the KKKA, but the USA. We would never let a white racist get this close to the Oval office.I think Hillary should ask John Edwards to run as her vice president. Voters in VA would love to see this happen. We are all created equal ,but apparently Senator Obama doesn't think so. Keep up the good work and thank you for continuing to talk about this subject. Do we as americans want a president we don't even know? Someone who makes excuses for their friends racist comments. I don't. My minister preaches about the bible not politics!!!!!!!!!!! Question: Who would want David Duke for president? Not I. Isn't it just as insane to vote for a black person who for 20 years listened to these racist sermons and said nothing? In my district our rep. endorsed Obama, although his distrist voted for Clinton. The american people will remind these ellected officials in the future, that our voices should count and we will be heard.

#610 - GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ballot should read " Black White White. That way some of the Black Americans could just check the Black box and not find out anything or know anything about who one is voting for. If Anthony, as he states served in the Military (and those who do - DO serve ALL people) than why is he voting for Obama? You can't be a TRUE AMERICAN and LOVE YOUR COUNTRY and vote for someone who belongs and agrees with his so called reverand who is as anti American as Osama B. You can't have it both ways Anthony. Your either for America or Your Not. You can be in a position of power in this country, but that doesn't mean you not seathing with loathing for whites and our great USA. Your obviously making a good living and you don't have to be PRO USA to work in any legal system. No one surveys you for a job nor would people like you actually speak the truth if they did.
GOD BLESS OUR GREAT U.S.A. AND PRAY THAT OBAMA KEEPS DROPPING IN THE POLLS!

I believe he's there for the purpose of dividing the Democrats. Obama, his wife, and his crazy Pastor are anti-americans. In my heart I felt that he was from the Middle East, and, I never considered voting for anyone other than Hillary. Blacks are their own worst enemies, always hypocrital, and in the end looking silly and childish. We may as well give the presidency to Bin-Laden, thats how much I trust Barack Husein Obama.

Anthony: I think differences is a mute point. This is about a Man or Woman running the greatest country in the World. So your black in a white community. I don't see the point? So you might like steak and I might like chicken. This is about integrity, honesty, hatred of WHite Americans, civil uprising when a particular race feels its been stepped on EVEN if their not, quoting slavery when not one of you has EVER been a slave, reparations (which just makes me want to puke), HAVING to hire a person not based on their qualifications but their color, watching SOME of the people in New Orleans acquire things that no white person would when they've been torn from their homes due to "acts of nature", having a Presidential Candidate being endorsed by the Black Panthers (and don't say that Obama took that endorsement off his website so its ok - MY QUESTION IS "WHY" WOULD THE BLACK PANTHER LEADERS ENDORSE HIM???, attending a church for 20 years, a Church that is full of white hatred, racsim, and American Hate AND the Hate of God . Just because your intelligent Anthony, doesn't mean you know your Bible. Don't cherry pick a few things. You better sit down and start reading ALL OF IT. Obamas Church is NOT a church of God. If you think it is you are much past reason and no one here will ever change your thinking. I feel kind of sorry, if you have kids. They will acquire your views, no matter how much you wish to hide them. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE TROOPS THAT FIGHT TO ALLOW "ALL" OF US THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE. Can all of you imagine our White House with the Likes of Wright sleeping there, or Fericon or the Black Panthers. We are so in trouble!
Let me add - that there will be those fools, out there who will say its because we hate blacks. I'm just saying now "GET A LIFE". The intelligence factor of some - well, I guess that I don't even have to bring that up. The majority of you get it. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - Whats so terribly sad is that there are so many African Americans who are hard working, intelligent people who want the same as all of us. This is a nation of many colors. We ARE ALL THE SAME on the inside. We experienced discrimination and pain.
We are now facing the biggest war ever. The hate for ALL AMericans, black or white, are high. I'm rather tired of bringing up "any" of our pains but the NEW PAIN of today is whats important. Our very lives are at risk. Quit looking at the past. We need a man who won't pull out of the war in Iraq. Its an abomination to the men and women who have died to save and bring those people to freedom. If Hillary or Obama get in to office, and pull our troops, you'll have more to worry about than your mortgage, what happened 150 years ago or whether you get a raise this year. Being DEAD!!!!!!! Start focusing Anthony on the hear and now and if your a True Christian American you'll rethink your vote for Obama. Of course our great nation, with its wonderful freedoms, allows you to vote for the man who will bring us all down. Don't complain Anthony IF he gets in AND that happens. Your vote will count as 1 of many that brought our country into the pits of hell!

They are wise to the hate of Obama and his followers, have researched and made decisions based on knowledge not color. THey too love America. We are all together in the hate that Osama spills and as Americans have to unite. If McCain doesn't get in for the Presidency we may not survive. I'm older but I fear for those that are young. Although McCain wasn't my 1st choice I think he is the BEST choice. We need a fighter not a quitter. Obama thinks pulling out of Iraq will just keep the bad guys away from the USA. If any of you feel that way you better start building a bomb shelter. THe bad guys want Obama or Hillary in because they WANT to take over Iraq. Its just the truth. They are out to get us and BEING A COWARD LIKE OBAMA will destroy your wonderful country.

I wonder if has his wooded or plastic arm over his heart as if pledging allegiance to the flag? NOT! I do wonder how many fools out there will be spending their hard earned money on that piece of crap? Maybe Osama B., Wright, The Black Panther Party, Anti-WHites, etc. etc. I have to leave now and go puke! Another thing that makes me puke is the "rock star thing". What are these kids thinking? Well, their free to vote and will find out IF HE WINS how much they will REALLY pay for that vote. Of course all they seem to hear is "Big Credits On College Tuition". Everygroup that Obama talks to he promises them whatever they want to hear. Those young people don't realize that they won't be retiring at 62. They'll be working until in their late 70's. Their too young and dumb to think of anything but today. When their still working at 80 and still trying to pay for all these programs they were so happy to pay for I'll be chuckling in heaven.

#613-617 BJ Hill - I also totally enjoyed your comments. My husband and I, and we're white, supported Alan Keyes. My husband and I were speaking about that this a.m. wondering why he just didn't get anywhere. We came up with the same conclusion, He's Christian And Too Conservative. My point isn't because he was black either may I say. Alan Keyes is a brilliant, Godly, Man who would have done so much good for our Country. But we never heard anything from the Black community rising to the call. We don't hear much about him anymore. He's just too Christian, but thats what we were looking for. A man that lives by his convictions, who believes in the principles of the Bible, which may I say Wright or Obama do not. Theres nothing in the Bible I have read that is even close to Wrights bible. We are certainly a nation in trouble.

THE GREAT BLACK AND WHITE HOPE?

Is Obama the man to CHANGE America? I think not. Only a black or white American man or woman can CHANGE the racism in America. There can only be an American who changes America. Not an african American, hispanic American or irish American. Obama has nothing to offer me an American. If he wants to mend wounds between white and black America he has to not only denounce his preacher, but he has to denounce affirmative action which the liberal white and black racist threw at America called “CHANGE”. What has changed since the 60’s and 70’s? I think quite a lot. I look at the United Fund charity. Why is it that the United Fund had to have a competitor The Black United Fund. Did the United Fund not care for black and white? It was made by Americans not whitey. I and black America can not unite any where except on the battlefield where both black and white face a common enemy. Blacks want to keep segregation going. Most of what was American has been destroyed by white liberals and black activists and socialist sympathizers. I don’t think anyone in this forum is happy or proud of slavery. Obama would have to denounce all organizations in and out of the government that has the word black or african American in it before I could vote for him and he can’t do it. If Colin Powell were to run for president he would get my vote in a second. He has been on the battlefield and faced the common enemy. God damn America? No. No. No. God Bless America. I hope she survives.

To downwithobama in your post #607 you called me an "Intelligent Racist". My point was that if I were a racist & had anything against white people I wouldn't live where I do or have my kids attend the school that they do. I give you that this election should be about integity & honesty. Besides Rev Wright's stupid comments what other African American has said they hate White America? I would never be so stupid as to defend his comments. I have no problem with the election being decided on the issues. I just don't like it when the races are pitted against each other. There is good & bad in all races. No I was not a slave & neither was anyone in my family. I don't want reparations, that's a loosing cause. Although most of you do not agree with Affirmative Action b/c you feel that it caused whites jobs. That may be true but it was created b/c back then blacks weren't getting a fair chance at the "American Dream." Good bad or indifferent this is where we are. What I'd like to know why is it that the only place we can get along is on the battlefield?

Today Borack was talking about his Grandmother and her racial comments and than quoted that she was like "the typical white person". Offensive, YES. He just keeps digging his own grave. How about that Anthony. Still going to vote for this man that you think "isn't" racist?
I think why this is turning into a battlefield Anthony is because it just appears so obvious what Obama stands for. I wouldn't want a President who spoke this way about Black Americans, because what would that say about the person. It would actually put me into shock and the Black Community up in arms. Thats how we feel about someone who thinks that "the typical white person" (HIS WORDS NOT MINE AND "NOT" TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT") were spoken today on the air. I heard the whole thing. Than he speaks about joining the races. Come on, this isn't rocket science here. But you do have an absolute right to vote and feel the way you wish Anthony. But thats the views of most of us WHite Americans, that he is a closet racist, but not anymore. Today he came out of the closet!

May I say one more thing please. If Borack Obama stated that racist comment AND wasn't running for the highest office in the land, I'd pass it off as just a foolish comment.
But I Don't Want THe President Of The United States of America Being Someone Who Thinks, that I'm just a typical racist white person. The man in the White House is in control of all of us and I just don't want a racist running the Land I Love. Might I include (lack of love) for some of what I consider some idiots that are in the Senate.

#627 - HAHA oh yes I heard that one. I like that Obama is speaking to the media, he continues to get himself into trouble. Speak more Obama because the more you do the more you go down.

His poor grandma - side not - when do you think the last time he actually saw her.

Obama will lose middle of america white vote and that is actually he chooses the president. Liberals go democrat, Conservatives go Republican then you have moderate middle white america. Go Obama Go speak more because we are having so much fun each day discussing your downward spiral.

First Obama could not vote against the war since he wasn't in the senate. 2- in his book Audacity of Hope 2003 - he states that he may have been wrong on the war. 3 - quoted in 2004 that his and bushs views are not that differnet regarding Iraq. 4 - 2004 He states at the DNC convention to a reporter that he doesn't know how he would've voted in 2002 if he were in the senate.

The man has wavered about his I am against the war from the beginning. Apparently he sounds like a typical flip flopper politican. Obama is using this anti iraq rant because of the emotional issue and that 60 - 70% of america would like to get out. But don't lie Obama we have your past quotes.

I think Obama can bring the United States together to work as one and get things rolling again. Thanks to the young Americans who are getting out to vote. Everyones' vote counts. I haven't been inspired by a presidential election since JFK. This country is the greatest piece of land in the world and the people of this country need to get rid of all the negative comments and go vote for the candidate of their choice. MY choice is Obama, the candidate whho is going to bring our country together. Get behind him and we can all make it work.

#631 Shirley - you have a right to your vote but you are so disallusioned. God help our country if Obama gets in. Dear Shirley, if you feel that a man who attends a church that thinks so lowly of the white race will bring us together I feel great pity for you. The sad thing is that you will find out too late what your vote will mean. As for those young college students; when they must work into their 70's b4 retiring, it will be too late. I pity our country and those who must live with the decisions of those who will not see or seek the truth. Although many wish to make this an issue of color it IS an issue of values, morality and the love for ones country. Shirley: I doubt with all my heart you would attend a Church or any organization that spews words of hate and deciveness because by what you say you truly wish to see this country united. I too wish that, but it will not happen with Mr. Obama. Mr. Wright stated that woman have a right to kill their babys. Is that the kind of man you wish in office? Look in your baby's fact please dear Shirley, and think of that also. May God Bless You & Our Country.

I am glad this exposure came when it did. It adds another part of the tapestry of Obama's real personna. Put together with his family..immediate and extended, and then his schooling in Islamic schools, and then his choices of acquaintences and friends, a disturbing tapestry is filling out that reveals a man not running for office to protect and guide his country in safety, and according to our own traditions and values, but for some agenda that has been deeply rooted in his convictions and aims that would nurture his secret drive to REALLY change America. When he voices with rousing feeling, his aim to bring change, I am afraid the change he envisions is more in harmony with our enemies, than with our founding Fathers'. I genuinely wonder if his loyalty lies with Islamic beliefs and aims.
Greta, why don't some of you news sleuths dig into his upbringing, family mentality, schooling, groups he belonged to,...he looks for all the world like a threat to our nation, in sheeps clothing. Thanks for doing what you can do.

The question has been raised as to whether Obama can sit in a church for 20 years and not be influenced by what he hears - well, I have been listing to racist remarks and unfair treatment by whites for over 40 years and by right I should hate every white person on earth - however, their racism hasn't turned me into a racist. I know some of the most racist people on earth and yet I am unmoved by their comments. I only pray for them and believe it or not some of them are really good people in other ways. There is some good in even the most ignorant people. The Reverend Wright issue was an eye opener for me. Racism hasn't gone anywhere - now I know why America cannot be what it could be and probably never will until the hearts of man change. Reverend Wright isn't a racist - the racist cannot handle the truth.

GLEN BECK' I WATCHED YOUR STORY ON THE PASTOR WRIGHT LAST NIGHT AND I AM AMAZED AT WHAT WRIGHT SAID IN HIS SERMONS. THE MAN ANTI AMERICAN ANTI GOVERNMENT AND ANTI CHRIST. I CAN'T BELIEVE OBAMA AND HIS WIFE HAVE GONE TO THIS CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN A PART OF ALL THIS ANTI AMERICAN CRAP. OBAMA HAS ALOT OF AMERICANS FOOLED. HIS WIFE ISN'T MUCH BETTER. SHE MADE ASTATEMENT THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE SHE IS PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. DURING THE GOOD AND THE BAD TIMES IN OUR COUNTRY I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. IF THEY ARE BOTH UNHAPPY WITH AMERICA THEN THEY SHOULD MOVE TO IRAC AND SEE WHATS ITS LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE. INSTEAD OF KNOCKING THE COUNTRY SHE RESIDES IN. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. GLEN BECK WHY CAN'T THESE4 SERMONS BE AIRED ON THE REGULAR CHANNELS THAT ARE COVERIBG THE ELECTIONS????? LET THE WORLD KNOW WHERE OBAMA HANGS HIS HAT.. TONY OF CALIFORNIA

Obama can't help himself. But to inject the race card. He claims to be black while being 50% white because of his white mother. Why won't he say that he is biracial, which is what he really is? This bull that John McCain said he had a funny name and didn't look like other presidents in the dollar bills is a lie. McCain never said that. Obama must be having a bad dream. We know he is green and unexperience; dodged military service; don't want his patriotism questioned; Has duel citizenship that he still retains in Kenya in SE Africa where his father is from; is related to Odinga who lost in Kenya; even tried to engaged in politics in that country while running for president of USA. On the other hand McCain put his life on the line for your freedom and mine. Has Obama done likewise? Deeds speak louder than words. Get real.The president shall have power of the military, our nueclear bombs, how many, where they are ,etc. McCain won't tell. Will Obama tell?After all he also owes loyalty and allegiance to Kenya also.
