Obama better start waking up and distancing himself from Wright very soon or this is the end for Obama, and the rise of Clinton.
Rev Wright appears to be of a mixed race? Is he and if so, what races?
There are caring patriotic people in this country that probably have threatened Rev Wright for his dispicible anti-American comments.
I believe he is trying to reiterate that he is being lynched by the white community, by claiming security issues. Also, That Obama campaign doesn't want him talking.
he is setting the stage for a law suit again the media and LORD only knows who else.
Greta,
Who would so vehemently dis america and still want to live here. I have some suggestions on where Rev. Wright might want to live.
Link this with Obama's wife saying she was not proud of this country. Why does this man want to be President of this great nation with that baggage?
Why didn't you ask "All of the above."?
Have you all watched the whole video? Getting the full story before passing judgment. I'm very disappointed with FOXNews on this one for not bringing us the full truth.
How can anyone vote for a person who's pastor damms the country he's trying to be president of?
I think the Rev. is just trying to get the "pity" vote for Obama by making people think he (Rev.) is in fear of his life. He should be in fear of his soul!
As a white American, I am offended by Jeremiah Wright's comments...how can he be a man of God and preach the hate towards whites as in his sermons...the beauty of this is he is sure to face the wrath of God for using the pulpit to promote his hate for white people.
I am a lifelong Democrat and an Italian so now I am even madder at this Wright guy. Seems like the only people he likes are those that agree with his positions. I won't vote for Obama.
I am sure that Rev. Wright is presently hiding in a hole but just wait and see where he is if Obama is elected. I would bet that he will be invited to the White House and still be Obamas mentor. If Obama will not rid himself of him after 20 years, you can be sure we will see his face quite often and I can't imagine what he will be saying then.
Greta this is a judgement call on Obamas part, and probably shows hes true character..There are also other things in Obamas past that hasn't come to light yet about the weather underground group. I think supporters or defecting to Hillars campagin very quickly.. Plain and simple he's not electiable...

Why would anyone serioulsy consider a person who supports any type of long standing and deep seated racial feelings about America.
This is a very important topic and people should not forget about the Reverends comments. They were Racial and damning to America. Also for Obama to regard him so highly is frightening, and Obama will bring this man as a spiritual advisor if he gets to the White House. I can't believe people in their right minds would vote for Obama!!!!!!!
It would seem to me that if a person really supports their church/minister your contributions would reflect that. How much money has Obama given to the church and why is noone asking that question?
The citizens of this country need to wake up to the fact that was Rev. Wright has been preaching for over 20 years to Obama is what Obama believes.
He did hear all of the comments. What kind of fool does he take the Americans for ??

Since Obama gave his church a check for $27,000+, Wright owes Obama a big favor. Staying out of the light is one of them.
your dripping is boring - lies, lies, are a much bigger concern.
obama's wife probably threatened to cut his jewels off if he didn't shut up. now to being serious obama's campaign has silenced him. they cannot afford for him to open his mouth hopefully the damage he has already done will end obama's hopes of being president
Obama is done for. John Mc Cain, last man standing, becomes president of the greatest nation in the world??!
Obama may have lost many Italian votes. Thanks to his religious mentor.
It is very clear that Obama holds the same ideals as Mr. Wright. (He does not deserve to be called Reverend) Anyone who thinks otherwise is extremely naive!
Wright is not capable of speaking any other way after 20+ years and will not be able to control his wicked mouth. Obama knows what he is capable of saying and is probably praying that he does not open that mouth again until after the election in public presence.
Obama can never be elected with his radical anti-American preacher who he will look to for advice and as a mentor. The ranting preacher we all saw over and over will just not go away - NOW with this new recent article bashing yet another American group - after 20 years you would have to be aware of the general message. I question his judgment and backgroung - I just cannot vote for Obama.
It is sad that it has taken something like the Rev. Wright story to FINALLY get the media to start looking more deeply into the OBAMA campaign. To bad we're not talking more about Obama denying Michigan and Florida to re-vote. Sucks big time!
I think Obama doesn't want Wright questioned. People would probably find out the Obama was aware of some of Wrights statements and had heard them before. I mean really....20 years.
Obama needs to show HIS patriotism by dropping out of the race. He is paving the way for McCain in November. One vote for Obama in the primarys equals two votes for McCain in November.
WHY IS THERE NO INVESTIGATION INTO THE BADGERING AND HARRASSING OF THE BLACK SUPER DELAGATES, BY THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT OBAMA OR THEY WILL LOSE THEIR SEATS IN CONGRESS, THE SENATE ETC. THERE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS FROM POLITICO 2/29/08 WITH QUOTES FROM THE DELEGATES SAYING THAT THEY WILL NOT BE FORCED TO SWITCH FROM HILLARY CLINTON. THESE THREATS MUST BE ILLEGAL BUT I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT AN INVESTIGATION. WHERE IS THE MEDIA ON THIS?
I am suprised Rev. Wright's church can still maintain the tax exempt status.
I do not believe that Rev Wright really cares about Obama's campaign, but his own hide. Obama's campaign wouldn't pressure Wright to stay away, because he is staying away. Since Rev Wright feels about whites as he does according to his "sermons", he might think he will get shot at.
I'm still trying to figure out why Rev. Wright's schedule is making breaking news? I'm wanting information on what the candidates plans are on affordable health insurance, not Rev. Wrights's schedule. I would really appreciate Fox News gathering that information for the American people.
Obama blew it. He supports racists and it has cost him a chance to become President. The democrats are so angry with Obama and his ties to Trinity. Hillary supporters will make certain that Obama looses in the end and vote for McCain. This issue wont rest until Election Day.
Wright, I refuse to honor him with the title of reverend, is the torpedo that will sink Obama. Can U envision that man as spiritual advisor toa sitting president? Impossible!
HOW COME IT'S NOT OVER FOR OBAMA NOW?
Obama says that the media has taken just a few statements out of a lifetime of the ministry of Rev. Wright. How many statements do we need to see that this man is a racist and an America hater. A person who is not racist does not make such statements. And the extremity of the statements would not be made if he didn't believe them. Now we hear there are more racist, America hating statements that have come out. I am not surprised, and I think the media needs to keep digging. Obama is still making excuses and not accepting responsibility for his associations.
Greta,
Pastor wright truly believes what he says and if he gave a speech he would not change for anyone including Senator Obama. The news would be even greater in the morning. That is why:)
will vote for mccain before obama and i am a democrat!!!
There is more than just Senator Obama's association with this Reverand and his venamous language. The fact is that Senator Obama first lied about his direct knowledge of the Reverand's views and then in his now famous "race" speech, finally acknowledged he had heard some comments. He has turned his back on his own Reverand on at least three occasions - he must have a reason. This is the continuing concern of all I speak with about this matter.
Thanks Roy!
What he hell is wrong with the media ???
Do they think he is made of Gold?
I agree with Justice. The media needs to STOP already........ When you put the information out, put the entire video out keep the media honest! Enough already!!!!!! The real issues of our country are being ignored are being ignored!
I wonder what the Kennedy's think of Obama now! They are Catholic's and Wright's latest comments reflect upon the Catholic religion.
Well said, J Scott!!!!
We are not making a big deal of this. Wright spoke against the USA. And I believe used God"s name in vain for his purpose, whatever it may be. What is his purpose?
I'm sure that his safety is in peril given much of American would like to lynch Wright for those 30 seconds you've replayed again and again. I think the bigger issue is: Who cares why Wright cancelled his sermons! While America does care about the character of their presidential candidates, I don't think that has pastor cancelling sermons merits "BREAKING NEWS" for two nights in a row and Fox not talking about anything else. I can only assume that Fox has a bias against Obama, for one reason or another. I would think that if it were political, that you would have the same bias against Clinton, but the news about her repeated outright lies have gotten little coverage. Yet, ANY news you can find in which you can use the words "Reverend Wright" seems to be breaking new and gets giant headlines. Will we be getting breaking news tomorrow night informing us that "REVEREND WRIGHT PEED TODAY"?? Can please move on to relevent important news and at least pretend like Fox is "Fair and Balanced", which, by the way, is the biggest joke of any media company.
The full story if you care: http://youtube.com/watch?v=QOdlnzkeoyQ
Obama is starting to behave like an experienced Washington politician. Wright will misteriously die soon....
Greta, regardless of what some of your guests may say, the Rev. has seriously injured Obama. As my husband just said "They are all crooks". Of course, they're politicians - but, crooks don't frighten me - Obama does.
I believe that he is also being pressured by the Democratic Party to sit down and keep his mouth shut.
there is no way Obama could go to church and not know about Wrights beliefs. I have not heard anyone ever express such anti American statements. We cannot let anyone associated with this rhetoric/slander be in a position of power.
Why didn't you ask,
"Oprah paid him off to go away for a while"
I would sooner vote for MICKEY MOUSE FOR PRESIDENT then Sen. Obama. By attending a church for several years, he endorsed and supported the "reverend's" views. He is now backpeddalling (sp?? which should be obvious to anyone qualified to vote. I am not a fan of Hillary either, which leaves this election a distressing prospect.
By the way, if Hillary does not get her proper amount of sleep (a joke) she could make another "mistake" that would be damaging to this country, which would may have serious and long term consequences. I am moving to Jerusalem where there is less controversy and I'm not even Jewish!!!!!!!!!!!
Greta - It is very clear to me the public wants to hear from the good pastor yet he is avoiding the media. I wonder what else he has to say but is afraid to cause the good senator from Illinois additional problems.
Even if the Wright controversy quiets down the damage has been done. Voters entering the polling booth will not want to take a chance that O'bama has the same beliefs his pastor does. Regardless of what polls say lets see what the decision is by the voters.

If this guy hates america so much , maybe he and osama bin laden would make good company.
Greta, Sen. Obama said in his speech today, regarding the "stupid remarks" by his pastor, that the hateful and damning of America had to occur during the times he did not attend. How absurd to think that would happen in 20 years of attending that church....give me a break !!!
Pastor Wright does not want to be asked any questions, by the media or concerned citizens, re his controversial sermons, beliefs and hatred of American.
Ann,
Mary,
Bonnie
This connection of Obama with Rev. Wright is not over. We will probably learn more. Obama knew about all of this or his wife did. How can he possibly think that the smart people of the USA cannot see this truth?? We are selecting a President for our country. Let's be more cautious this time about who is really able to straighten out all of the problems that we now are facing.
I believe Obama thinks like Rev. wright. He's pulling a fast one on America!!!
He'll be laughing all the way to the white house.
I believe Obama thinks like Rev. wright. He's pulling a fast one on America!!!
He'll be laughing all the way to the white house.
I believe Obama has the same beliefs as Wright does. He is trying very hard to hide them so he can be the President. For Obama to up hold Wright in these horrible comments is a disgrace to our country. I can't even imagine what this world is going to be if Obama should be elected our President. Come on people look at this candidate very CAREFULLY. We didn't know much about him before but thank GOD it's coming out now!! He should not and must not be our PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course Rev. Wright is done talking for now...Obama's campaign is tellinghim to cool it. This man should move out of this country if there is nothing here he likes! This is why the primaries are set up the way they are time frame wise. America got caught up in a movement not good judgement!
The REAL problem for O'bama is the party is over and the downfall has begun. Twenty years listening to such hatred and discontent spewed by Pastor Wrong has ruined any trust the citizens ever had in him. His Presidential run is over.
I dont trust Obama anymore, not at all. After admitting last week that he had heard Rev Wright ranting and raving, he now says today that he has never heard him. Flip ... Flop Rest assure, if Obama wins the Democratic nomination this Democrat wont be voting for him, and neither will the other Democrat members of my family. I think of the three, Sen Obama and his family are the least patriotic towards the United States.
I am so sick and tired of the media publicizing Rev. Wright all the time! He's not running for anything, so who cares?
Let's put the focus back where it belongs: Obama and Clinton. Obama can only speak for himself; Clinton can only lie for herself. GET BACK TO THE IMPORTANT THINGS - WAR - ECONOMY. Please media - back off on all the negative. Viewers are quitting watching. Forget what Michelle Obama may say. YOU ARE FEEDING AND FUELING IT ! Let's get professional and dignified again for the sake of the United States. Accentuate some positive !
Rev.Wright's views of the United States are the same as obama's wife
Obama said in his speech that people "talk" differently in their own home with their own family. Are we to believe that, over a 20 year period, Obama didn't " talk" frankly with his "uncle" about race relations in America? Doubt that. I wanted to believe in Obama but now I just don't trust him.
The American people better wake up and pay attention to this Reverend and his relationship to Obama. Obama is running for the President of the United States. You do know what that means should he get in? He has control over every button in that White House. Today Obama called the Reverend his past reverend. What that hell does that mean? I'm norry but he said all along that this man was his Mentor. You do know what means now don't you? Someone you look up to etc. God help us all should Obama get elected. I wasn't voting for him in the first place but his Pastor scares me. And he also is a worry for Obama otherwise Obama wouldn't be trying to silence him. Lets hope when it's time to vote the american people do there research and make the right choice.
Obama's campaign is deader than fried chicken.
Regardless of whether you see an entire video or read an entire speech of this so called reverend (I see a hundred of them asking for money every night on television), it does not justify what he said. He is a racist, and Obama should be ashamed of himself to be associated with him. And, he also should be ashamed of insulting the intelligence of the Ameican voter.
Obama considers Wright his mentor, close friend etc. Has Obama's thoughts and ideas been formed by his association with Wright? If so, isn't this type of thinking mandated to be brought out into the open for all to examine? Yet many consider it minor and that Obama should not be battered like this. Let's make him the most powerful man in the world and then find out that the new President is actually a closet racist!
The problem is not Obama attending the church as a U.S. citizen, the problem is that a "sitting" Senator should not be publically associated with a church figure that "trashes" America and various ethnic groups. It's that simple.
Trying to get a read on Obama's character is like peeling an onion...as the layers come off the stinkier it gets. Remember when your Mom told you that you are judged by the company you keep? Well, that was true then and it is true now.
Obama cannot hide behind the incredible statements that he never heard the pastor speak in derogatory terms. Obama has a lot to answer for: He claimed to be a professor; he was not. His association with Rezco needs much more scrutiny - the purchase of his house through a sweet deal. He is an opportunist who will (as he accuses Senator Clinton) of doing anything to get the nomination. There is so much money behind him. Where does it come from? How could his mother bankroll his education? Has anyone looked into that?
NOW, THIS IS A NO BRAINER. SENATEOR OBAMA DOES NOT WANT THIS ANTI-AMERICAN PASTOR TO BE INTERVIEWED BY THE PRESS. HE DOES NOT WANT US TO KNOW WHAT THE BLACKS SAY OR THINK ABOUT THE WHITES. IF THAT WAS A WHITE PASTOR SAYING THOSE THINGS ABOUT BLACKS THERE WOULD BE AN UPRISING. MY PEOPLE WERE NEVER RICH ENOUGH TO OWN A SLAVE AR IMPORT THEM. I HAVE NEVER BEEN UNKIND TO A BLACK OR A PERSON OF COLOR. BUT, IT UPSETS ME THAT IN A CHURCH A PASTOR WOULD MAKE REMARKS ABOUT MY RACE AND MY COUNTRY. HOW DARE HE???? AND HOW DARE OBAMA KNOW WHAT HE WAS SAYING AND NOT LEAVE THE CHURCH. AND HOW DARE HE THINK THAT HE IS FIT TO BE A SENATOR OR THE PRESIDENT OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY?
Claire, I agree with you 100%. The media is making a big deal out of Hillary's Bosnia crap. They are ignoring the fact that Obama LIED about Wright. Obama LIED about the Rezko ties. It's more than his judgement that should be questioned. What else has Obama lied about? What else is he LYING about?
I think Obama holds the same beliefs as Wright. His wife Michelle obviously shares his hatred of whites and AMERICA.
WE TEACH CHILDREN TO BE CAREFUL OF THE COMPANY THEY KEEP, SO WHY WOULD WE NOT JUDGE OBAMA BY SOMEONE HE CALLS AN ADVISOR FOR 20 YEARS!
My Grandfather is Italian and I'm really mad now. I'll be on the phone with my mother first thing in the morning! Wright shouldn't have messed with Italians. We have tempers!
When will Fox news LET IT GO! You Greta and Shaun have rode this dead horse enogh. Let it go. If you want to be truthful to your viewers, olay the tape in its entirety. You and your news channel are bashing Obama because he is 50% African American. Talk about the issues. you are infatuated with Obama. Admit it, you and shaun. If you weren't reporting negative stories on Obama, what would you talk about. God bless Obama. Touch not the annointed one, if Wright is called of God, leave him be.
I really think it is both the answers. Also how can this man be called a minister when all or what seems to be much of his message is anti-white, anti-Christian.
Were any white minister to say this kind of retoric, they would be denounced by everyone and Rev.s Jackson and Sharpton would call for them to be banished from the church. Why don't they condem this type of hate speech, that is what it is.
To sit in a church for 20 years and not know about this pastor, shows lack of judgment, lack of character, lack of backbone to walk alway from this type of hate speech. This man, Sen. Obama wants to POTUS and he can't walk away from this pastor. I know this is not anyone I want to lead the USA.
If Obama is the best the Democrats have to offer, we, the USA is in deep trouble.
Hate speech is just that, there is no way to whitewash it away. This man, Obama, is in favor of this type of speech by his inaction.
How does one voluntarily attend a church for decades, consider the pastor a friend, spiritual advisor, and mentor and then separate oneself from the teachings/sermons of the pastor? I am not a Clinton supporter but she is spot on re: Rev. Wright!!!!
Obama has amazing speaking ability, however, "actions speak louder than words." Why would anyone sit there and listen to this poison?
Greta....im a democrat....if Obama gets the nomination...im registering as an Independent...AND voting for McCain...I dont understand why Obama is still pretty much backing his "uncle"...the american congress needs to follow and adopt (former) Prime Minister Blair's call for any anti american sentiments/comments and expell them...were in a time of war...and the So called Rev. Wright's comments arent helping us at all...Im surprised Obama hasn't dropped out of the race...im a full blooded Native American...we need someone like Hillary or McCain...AN ACTUAL PATRIOT...and to add...not a wife whose "never been proud to be an american, till now"
REV WRIGHT'S CHURCH OF HATE NEVER SAID ANYTHING BAD ABOUT WHITE HONKYS OR THOSE GARLIC NOSE ITALIANS. THOSE WHO SAY I AM "TOAST" ARE RACISTS PLAYING THE RACE CARD.
Aloha,
This again speaks to Judgement by Senator Obama, by joining and remaining in this church for Political Gain.
I feel sorry for Children, including Senator Obamas, who have been forced to sit and listen to these ranting racial "Sermons". It is SO sad that these children have already absorbed racially demeaning and inflammatory comments into their developing intellect. The racial divide continues onto the next generation.
I have reconsidered my vote for Senator Obama, and now consider his message of Hope and Change, just more of the same, only with a different spin.
Aloha from the Rainbow State of Hawii.

This elction was for the Democrats to lose. Obama the racist and Hillary the "Queen of Denial" have finished themselves off. Add to that the DNC playing games with the rules and you can stick a fork in the Dems. They're done! Only one question remains. Who will be McCains veep?
We can't have a President who stands up for anyone that denounces our country."GD America".It is apparent Obama isn't the person he presents himself to be.
Thanks
Obama has so much baggage behind him now, I can not see why any person would want to vote for this man. The only reason I see him getting elected is because this will be a racist election. People should sit up and realize this is an election to get out and express your choice because if not, oh well. Racism is playing to much of a part for this Presidential Election for people to think their vote does not matter. We should all vote, even if you against the person you don't want in office.
Wake up, big trouble is brewing!
Worst trash I have ever heard and B.O. is shutting him up to try and stop more of his hate speeches from getting out.
if i were him i would be worried talking down the italians, this scumbag our noses are garlic noses, f him at least we can look down ours theirs are tooooo big, hope he visits an italian neighborhood in nyc soon and see the reception he gets, blacks like him keep me racist
i believe obama and his pastor got busted and now he must hide to make sure their hidden agenda of getting him to the white house is realized.
he will start preaching hate again after he wins but that will not happen because there are many of us blacks who loves this country.
20 years is not 20 minutes and if he gave to that church, then he believes in the message.
this to me is more serious than a lapse in memory by hillary over the bosnia issue
Obama needs to Pack his bags (and his racist wifes bags ) and go find his pastor.
the three of them need to get their asses out of this great country.
they dont belong here.
God bless america

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/21/AR2008032102539.html
Not only am I shocked over Wright's words, but I'm also alarmed that there are many who seem to have the opinion....what's the big deal? This is a very big deal indeed! Obama's speech and radio remarks only made things worse. His comment of "typical white woman" showed me the heart of the man. I would never vote for Obama, I would consider it un-American!
Obama was very quick to throw his WHITE grandmother under the bus to defend Wright. How quick will he be to throw all WHITE AMERICANs under the bus to the Islamic radicals or the black radicals? How quick will Obama be to change the country's name from United States of America to United States of Black America?
Obama has been a member of Wright's congregation for too long. His ideas and thinking must have been influenced by this evil man.
I believe Michelle Obama thinks the same way Rev. Wright thinks and that is why she has not been seen in public since the Wright exposure. Barack was trying to save his marriage by his racial speech and not really rejecting Wright.
REV. WRIGHT HAS GONE UNDERGROUND BECAUSE OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN HAS TOLD HIM TO LAY LOW UNTIL AFTER THE CAMPAIGN AND IS PROBABLY FEARFUL OF WHAT WILL COME OUT ACCIDENTALLY SINCE THIS IS SO DEEPLY ROOTED IN WHAT WRIGHT PREACHES AND WHAT HIS FOLLOWERS BELIEVE. NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES TO SUPPRESS WRIGHT, OBAMA KNOWS THAT IF HE GETS TALKING IT WILL COME OUT IN SPITE OF HOW MUCH WRIGHT TRIES TO SUPPRESS HIS HATRED OF THE WHITE RACE. PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIT IN HIS CHURCH WEEK AFTER WEEK ARE NOT JUST CASUAL CHURCH GOERS, THEY ARE BELIEVERS AND FOLLOWERS OF THESE TYPES OF BELIEFS. ONCE PRESIDENT AND OBAMA STARTS PUTTING THIS TYPE OF PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER, IT'S TOO LATE THEN. WATCH OUT AMERICANS. DON'T FORGET, THEIR CHURCH BELIEFS THAT YOU PROFESS WHEN YOU JOIN A CHURCH STATES THEY OWE THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO THEIR MOTHER COUNTRY AFRICA. I WANT A PRESIDENT THAT OWES HIS ALLEGIANCE TO THE USA.
First and foremost, Reverend Wright is a typical Afro-American individual, "blame it on the white-man", its so sad of this type of attitude, specially from a preacher.. Yes, he will crucify and hurt the Obama Camp. What else is out there that Sen. Obama has not laid out.. Folks, America is face with many challenges ahead, thats foreign and domestic issues and AMERICA NEEDS A STRONG LEADER WITH EXPERIENCE NOT JUST 2yrs IN THE SENATE!!!!BUT EXPERIENCE IN HOW TO MANAGED A FREEWORLD. THESE IS NOT A INTERN OR WILL TRAIN YOU ON THE JOB(OJT)TYPE OF PROFESSION. ITS TIME TO ELECT AND PUT SENATOR MCCAIN AS PRESIDENT TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
What race is Wright anyway. He must be part mexican because this is the only race that he has not critizied. He is definately of a mixed race just like his friend Obama. I quess we should just call him a Wrightocrat, with hatred for America, the country he has prospered in and been free in all his life.
having once been a clinton supporter, I have become an obama supporter mostly because at this point there is no republican worthy of my vote because of this economy and the arrogance seen by bush, chaney,and mccain. I have found hillary to be a liar and fear the only phone call the would respond to is the one informing her that bill in the west wing with monica.
There is no way Obama can win now. I know there is more we haven't heard and already I've learned enough.
Greta, it seems to me that no matter what Obama does or says, people still seem to swam around him. I DON'T GET IT!!!! What is wrong with this picture? I think Obama is going to be our next president because people just can't wake up and see him for all the things he stands for (Wright)? Pastor Wright is keeping a very low profile and I say its because Obama wants him in hiding so the media won't be able to confront him. Who knows how much dirt the media could get from him. Wright?
I definitely believe Obama's people want to keep Wright behind the scenes...if they don't alot more may come out about Obama...and also, they do not want any reminders of the last few weeks...why is it that people can brush this unbelieveable racist situation with Wright and Obama...and yet, jump on Clinton for a comment that she obviously didn't mean to say...I mean, why would she risk her campaign ?? she wouldn't!!!! It is not that big a deal!!! But, it seems to be blown way out of proportion!!! Yet, Barack Obama is the least experienced candidate with extremely poor judgement in his associations with Wright and Farrakhan...and people are beginning to think well, maybe it is o.k....NO!!! It is not o.k....do people really know who these men are???? and who Obama really is???? These men hate the United States of America and Obama has known this and accepted this for 20 years...now, what does this show us???Come on everyone...do you really want this man to be the person to trust to protect your children, your grandchildren....I truly believe that if we were to start the primaries all over again...he would not have gotten all these votes....stop it now!!!!!!!! He is just another smooth talker, who has done nothing for this country that is good.
Whether Obama disavows or disowns the pastor isn't the major question. I fear that Obama has been inculcated with the pastor's Afrocentric, black liberation, collectivist theology (in fact, sought it) and because Obama is never specific in his speeches, we have no idea what he plans for America. His promised "Change" may not be at all what his adoring followers visualize.
OBAMA WENT/GOES TOO THIS CHURCH MORE THAN 20 YEARS, YOU ARE THE COMPANY YOU KEEP. I WOULD NEVER WORSHIP IN A HOUSE OF THE LORD WITH A RAVING LUNATIC RANTING SUCH HATE, AND DAMNING THE USA! OBAMA KNOWS/KNEW AND IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE RELEASE ALL TIMES HE WAS IN CHURCH AND THE VIDEOS OF SERMONS. I'M NOT THRILLED WITH THE BOSNIA THING BUT THAT IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET TO THE HATE OF OBAMAS CHURCH, AND OBAMAS LIES AND HIS WIFS AWFUL REMARKS.. I WIL VOTE REPUBLICAN IF HE'S OUR PARTY NOMINEE. HE IS A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY AND SHAME ON HIM AND HIS WIFE FOR BRINGING THE CHILDREN TO THIS HATEFUL RANTING. THIS IS HOW IT SPREADS AND WHY WE CAN'T HEAL. STEP DOWN NOW OBAMA.
Rev Wright is avoiding the public because he realizes that the media is looking for an excuse to negatively influence voters against Obama. Can you all find something on Obama, besides, he is the one running for president. We're sick of Wright. I think the more Wright statements are played the less its going to affect Obama against McCain, because it's getting old already.
Wright's words are no worse than Michelle Obama's comment "...for the first time in my life, I'm proud of my country." Do you really want a First Lady with questionable patriotism? Do you want a President that's MENTOR is one of the worst racists in this country? I'm done with them.
Besides the fact he's hiding from the media who gives the real news, he's trying to keep the heat away from Obama. Because it's so obvious there is more to know about both of them! if they both can avoid any further confrontations Obama doesn't have to tell more lies and keep from accepting responsibility for his actions these past 20 years, as he should do!! unbelievable how some people want this man as president, is that the way our society is going? Deceitful, dishonest, disloyal, unpatriotic and the list goes on.......
Greta, I am afraid it Obama or Clinton gets in office, we are all doomed. She can't tell the truth and He is not doing what he needs to do to distance himself from the racial comments that has not been backed up with evidence that what his pastor is saying. I know that in politics there is no such thing as being 100% honesty. I am praying that McCain gets in with no problems. I just want to see this all over with.
I love the way Obama has doctored the hate America sermon Wright gave after 9/11. Wright is now claiming he repeated Peck's words from an interview on FOX the day before. CNN investigated and found out Peck WAS NOT on FOX the day before Wright gave his "America's chickens have come home to roost" sermon.
More Obama lies to cover up Obama lies and Obama's racism.
I understand that Obama was raised as a Muslin by his step father. His mother was a atheith. He was introduced to rev. Wright by his step father. I heard that he was sworn as Illinois state senate by a quran. I know of several black meetings they run down the whites and blame them for their problems. I believe we bring most of our problems on ourself. I am a Democrat but will not vote for Obama.
30 months in the fed. senate coming from the south side of chicago. listening to anti-white anti American hate speach for 20 yrs. visiting libia with farakan. hanging with enemies (weather underg) etc,etc. How could any American vote for anyone coming from this background???
There is no one of fair and sound mind that would ever vote for someone that attended a Church or club or any type of association for a 20 year period where its leader frequently and vehemently spewed anit-white and anti-Amercian hatred. Also, if a "hero" of this organization's leader was an individual (Farakan) who also was aniti-white, anti-semitic, and anti-American, what does that say about the organization. Clearly, Senator Obama voluntarily attendied this Church, and clearly knew what his Reverend stood for. He is tainted by his repeated and not occassional association with this Church. First Senator Obama said he had no knowledge of the Reverend's speeches, then he said "of course I was aware" but I did not agree with him. Basically, I supported many of Senator Obama's goals and admired the way he ran his campaign. Now, I beleive him to be a racsist, a hypocrite and a liar. The snake in the Garden of Eden had a golden tongue, but he was still a snake.
Wright is on the run. BHO cannot afford another UNCLE Wright speech.

Wright is not afraid of anything or anybody, that's obvious. I am not sure what his "plan" is, but whatever it is he is regrouping to outsmart in his mind,"white man", you can be sure in just a small amount of time, he will tip his hand. This sort of hate IS STILL being taught in black homes today, the man is smart, he is preaching AND teaching. Race is still alive and well. I really believe most white people wanted to and wants to put these issues behind, and alot of black are "closet" racists, they are continually being taught to educate yourself, rise to high office and then turn the tables. I was told this by one who believes this to occur, many years ago. I see this happening, it took an Obama to bring it out and out it will come.
Obama is running on his ability to make good judgements (being against the war vs Hillary voted to go to war) Here is why that dosen't hold water- He was unable to make a good judgement in regard to his church he attended for 20 years - We need a president that will not take 20 years to be able to make a judgement call! Hillary and Obama tell lies
Great interview Greta! Hillary was speaking like she is already a village Chief!
Rev. Wright should seize the opportunity to share the Gospel he is called to. This is your time Rev., lets hear it , that voice crying in the wilderness. Christ wen tot the cross for what he was called to. Is the Rev. ready?
I teel that its a pure sin and shame the way this so called pastor has sent his lamb out to the wolves,and just hid back in his den and left him at their(mercy}.
Buts thats the kind of serpent he is.
This goes to Obama claiming to be a Christian. I acceped Christ as my Saviour back in 1971. That made me a Christian then and there. Afterwards I joined a local Church and attended every service they had. After about 8 months I decided what they were teaching was contary to the Bible. I left that Church and found one that taught the word of God. It didn't take me 20 odd years to see what the other Church and the Pastor were teaching. If the Senator is truly a Christian he should know the truth from false teaching.
Why would he want to further damage his "Manchurian Candidate" ?? This is the closest any of his 'flock' have progressed in political position. Incidentally, I believe the "Reverend" to be on "Sabbatical Leave" rather than "in retirement".
Obama must never be permitted to enter the White House. Finally the Democratic Party are showing their true colors; they care more about their own political power than they do about anythign else in the world, and they will lie, cheat, scheme, defraud and put us all in danger to achieve their political status. They are a sick bunch.
I think it's interesting every time Obama and his campaign people say we have taken the speech out of context. We have onnly heard thiry seconds of a speech out of twenty years. Please do they think we are stupid? And then to have his wife say it was the first time she was prooud to be an American. Sorry something is not right here.Do you see how they live? Why is she not proud to be an American. Didn't make a good living here in our Country? Looks to me that they have done very nicely. I hope when he starts to lose it doesn't become racial because it will make me physically sick. That's a great concern because you have people like Sharpton and Jackson out there just waiting in the wings to make this a racial thing.
re:107 Eugene, give the Monica situation a REST!! Are you jealous? If Hillary can stand by her man then you need to BUTT out. Wright?

Hillary and Obama tell lies
I was under the impression after an interview I saw with the Pastor of the church in florida celebrating its 10th anniversay of it's church that they felt that their church preached hope and that they are now aware of the current controversy that it would not serve their purpose.
Obama is running on judgement... His past association with Rev. Wrong is evidence of poor judgement. His continued association with Rev. Wrong is evidedence of poor judgement. His characterization of his Grandmother is of poor judgement. Rev. Wrong has better judgement and is trying to protect Obama from further controversy. Obama has no experience, has poor judgement and will lose the election if he becomes the Dem candidate.
I understand that Obama was raised as a Muslin by his step father. His mother was a atheith. He was introduced to rev. Wright by his step father. I heard that he was sworn as Illinois state senate by a quran. I know of several black meetings they run down the whites and blame them for their problems. I believe we bring most of our problems on ourself. I am a Democrat but will not vote for Obama.
Greta, why are you and the rest of the media downplaying and ignoring the fact that Obama LIED to the American people and the world about Wright and Rezko?
I'm "TYPICAL WHITE PERSON" who thinks we shouldn't have a bold faced LIAR as President.
This is something that needs to brought to the media's attention.
liberals like him will bring down america, and he will start with treating italians and all others bad that he hates then start on the military to take it apart to show what a good person he is to the rest of the world then we will be at the chinese and russians mercy, from a weak, racist ass liberal running the country
Is it really coincidence that Obama went on a "family" vacation at the same time that Rev. Wright supposedly disappeared? They are also both back on the scene--another coincidence! Also, the photos of Obama's trip showed Obama in the forefront and blacked out the rest of the people in the photo!!! Could the "uncle" have been on this family trip and in the background of these photos? Obama stated that he attended a service on Easter but who gave the sermon and where?? If it was on the beach, it could have been Rev. Wright. Obama seems to protect him at all times so I would lopve the answer to some of these questions! Obama denied hearing or knowing of Wright's philosophy about the country, racism, AIDS, the government, etc. but in his race speech he admitted to hearing these controversial statements and also to being aware of Wright's philosophies and yet he stands by this man!! I know that he was against MI & FL revote, (or other solution), and the only people standing up for us is the Clintons! Therefore, I will only vote for Hillary Clinton as the democratic nominee; otherwise, I am voting for McCain and I am an Independent. My step-father is a "dyed-in-the-wool Democrat", according to his family, and he stated this evening that he will vote for McCain! Prior to this he stated that he would vote for Hillary Clinton only in the Democratic party! It's amazing to me that so very many people are definitely going to vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee. A great many people are saying that they will never vote for any Democrat other than Hillary Clinton! Since both candidates are running so closely in the polls and Hillary is ahead in superdelegates, and has been all along, why doesn't Obama withdraw??
I wonder if Obama would want his children to associate with others that had a bad reputation. Most of us believe that we are known by the company we keep. Sometime we get in a situation we don't feel comfortable with but we don't just keep going back. As a statement on Geraldine Ferror when she said he would not be ahead if he wasn't black, I believe this and it proves the whites are trying to put the race issue aside but this doesn't seem to be what he is doing. The pastor seems to be against the whites. I think this has put them back a lot. Why can't they do what the whites are doing and forget about color, thats not what important. Being president has to be for all people what ever color. This as well as other things really scares me.
It would be a sad day in American history if a person like Mr. Obama gets in the white house. If he does, it shows me that the American people don't have enough respect for themselves let alone the country. Why would Mr. Wright be afraid for security reasons, he was loud enough when he was in amongst his followers; or should we say he was really loud when he was running his mouth in front of his CULT. Any person sitting in that building and listening to such vial and racist comments full of hate can not convince me they know the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. Why did Oprah leave that church? was she fed up with the wild mans' comments.
I can't believe that in all the years that Obama has been going to Reverend Wrights church that he has never heard at least some of the foul words coming out of this mans mouth. Even if Obama was asleep in the pew how could he not hear the yelling and foul talk. It is hard for me to even call Mr. Wright a Reverend. I can't believe that a man of God preaching in a church could say and do some of the things that we have seen and heard. A preacher like Mr Wright breeds nothing hate. I don't think this is what Jesus would do!
The issue about Obama Pastor will not go away and will continue as long as the Senator continues to be proud of his relationship with this America hater. Only a fool will believe his argument that the Reverend only show his real sentiments in a few segments of his preached Sermons. The Reverend statements not only reflects his trend of thoughts but also how his parishioners felt about applauding in agreement. How could we believe that after being a member of this church under the guidance of this America hater for 20 some years never stood up and debated these degrading and racial preaching with the Pastor or with members of this church until now that this issue became a matter of character by association for the Senator?
It is not the candidates themselves who have made this a 3 ring circus, but the media. I have never seen so many "so called" experts come out of the woodwork in my 57 years. They have all become Psychatrists analyzing every word. I am sick of the media, and watch the news very seldom now, and just read the news on my homepage or a few blogs...like Gretawire.
This has gotten so bad that now MSNBC is talking hateful about Fox, and Fox is talking about MSNBC, the candidates are trying to hang each other...GAWD help this nation, and come quickly Lord Jesus!!!!!
Rev. Wright will be a millstone around Obama neck for the time that he spends in the senate or any place else in his life. Can you see a company that worked with the public putting this man in an office where the public will see or talk to him? The way the blacks are acting, he will do well in the black community. As long as they want to be, separate from the whites

Lists his charity giving for years, LESS, LESS than 1% - while he made $1.65 mil dollars. These days, he spends $1.5 million a day. Does anyone see ANYTHING WRONG with him running our country??????
And now tonight, I'm hearing Obama speek on TV in a news flash, talking about his FORMER pastor. FORMER, what since the tapes came out as to what he's been listening to for 20 years. Does he think we are that stupid?????
OBAMA, BO, HUSSEIN, PLEEEEEZZZZE STEP DOWN, OUT OF THE ILLINOIS SENATE!!!!
BO wants to shut his pastor up is why his appearances are cancelled. He just wants to sweep him under the rug but I don't think he can find a BROOM STRONG ENOUGH for that chore.
Rev. Wright is like opening a can of worms....now what?
This is not over until it is over.
-Hillary is going to win this election.
-No one cares what Hillary remembers her national policy appearances to be.
(Everyday men say things regarding their past. They always over dramatize things. In particular something of a potential danger to impress women. So…a woman embellishes…. and suddenly everyone is horrified…why? Because this a perfectly MANLY trait?
Now America is seeing you for you really are Obama! You are nothing more than a Black Racist! Don't believe the NBC polls America, they are so far off in favor of Obama it is pathetic! America knows what we get with Hillary, she is not perfect and may embelish a story or two, but she LOVES her Country and doesn't lie about that! Why does Obama feel so strongly about not wearing the lapel, because he knows that if this doesn't pan out (which it won't) he has to go back to his militant anti American camp! America is smarter than he is giving us credit for! Get behind the candidate that has a chance not the one who will give hate a chance!!!!! CLINTON '08
Rev. Wright is the biggest racist of our time. I feel that Rev. Wright is a coward and does not have the guts to show his face on programs like Fox News, to face the music.
Rev. Wright and anyone in that church that listens/agrees w/the trash he spews from his mouth needs to get the hell out of our great country. It makes no difference where they go, just get out!
I was so ready to vote for Barack Obama until I heard all of this filth coming from his pastor. If Barack would have denounced Rev. Wright and took his children and family out of the church I would have had no problem voting for him. Now it is clear that to elect this man would be a vote for a race riot, in proportion the likes that have never been seen in our country or another Civil War this time between black and white instead of the North and South.
Between Rev. Wright and Barack's wife, the man does not need any enemies. The two of them have done more damage to his campaign and his image than Hilary or anyone else could ever do.
It is a sad situation for the Democrats this go around. I can't vote for Hilary because she did not divorce that jerk husband of hers after he humiliated her and their daughter. Now Obama. Guess I am going Republican and vote for McCain. Seems he is the only truly qualified person to run for President. I really feel that Sen. McCain actually wants to protect this country and not just his own personal interests like both of our Democratic candidates. Our National security is absolutely the most important aspect. If we don't stop terrorism and illegal immigrantion, this country is not going to be worth protecting. Without National security our economy won't exist anyway. There won't be an economy to even worry about.
We need to take back our Christian faith, our language and our rights.
By the way Fox News is absolutely first rate and I really cannot watch the broadcasts from NBC, CBS, etc anymore. Thanks to all of you for bringing fair and balanced reporting.
Sincerely,
Beverly
I have watched the whole video and others. I was offended. I did not own slaves. I am not a racist. My family has been in this land since the 17th century with roots in Pennsylvania. There are grave yards in Pennsylvania that have my relatives in them that fought and died in the Civil War to end slavery. My family's dues are paid! I tire of the victim chants. Whites in the British Isles were captured and sold as slaves by the Vikings. We got over it, so should the Negro race.
Obama needs to drop out. He has no credibility. When you consider his wife's comments along with their religious teachings and the whole idea from the begining that he will not wear a flag lapel pin, he is that congregation. The simple thing about that lapel pin statement is that he is not prowd to be an American and he can not bend those imbeded principals. His preacher preaches hate, his wife stated their position and it is too easy to vote for someone that we know and recognize as proud Americans. How can people be foolish not to recognize the truth.
I'm sure that many people were concerned about Michelle's famous comment, along with Senator Obama's refusing to wear the flag pin or saluting the flag. It was only a matter of time that we learned where this was all coming from. Rev. Wright has been very influential in their thinking. I would never vote for someone who doesn't respect our country.
If Rev Wright keeps talking he is going to let it slip that if Obama is elected president he will proable be one of is advisors since Obama thinks these commits were taken out of text,this kind of text does not belong in church.A man who has god with him it does'nt matter how tired or how much stress he was under God would not let him speak that way.That was his true feelings comming out and that does'nt happen over night.The church should have to check ID'S and make sure no one under 18 is admited.Do you suppose Wright has something something on the Obama?I hope it comes out before it is to late

Greta -get out of foxes bias politics it well ruin you.
Obama is playing the race card again. First he was tired of the "nagging" questions about his racist hate filled pastor. Now, we've taken 30 years of great preaching and turned it into 30 seconds.
Obama, Heres a clue. Those 30 seconds of hate filled racist G D America have said more to the American people about Wright than those thirty years of hate filled racist sermons you listened to every week for twenty years.
THE WRIGHT ISSUE WHICH CANNOT GO AWAY WILL NOT GO AWAY. NEITHER SPEECHES ABOUT RACE, NOR ENDORSEMENTS BY JUDAS RICHARDSON CAN SWEEP UNDER THE RUG THE FACT THAT OBAMA LIED, THAT HE HAS SHOWN HE HAS NO JUDGEMENT TO LEAD, AND THAT HIS UNITY SPEECH IS ALL ABOUT UNITING ONLY ONE SEGMENT OF THE ELECTORATE AGAINST ANOTHER: ONLY LOOK AT THE TURNOUTS SINCE SOUTH CAROLINA AND WHO'S VOTING FOR WHOM.
IF THE BLEEDING HEARTS, WHITE-GUILT RIDDEN ULTRA LIBERALS DON'T THINK THEIR "WONDERBOY" DID ANYTHING WRONG BY NOT DISAVOWING ALL THE ANTI-AMERICAN, RACIST, HATEFUL, MILITANT BLACK POWER THEOLOGY HE'S BEEN DIGESTING FOR 20+ YEARS, AND STILL CHOOSE TO SUPPORT HIM FOR THE NOMINATION, THEN I WILL VOTE FOR SENATOR MCCAIN IF SENATOR CLINTON DOES NOT WIN THE NOMINATION!
I RATHER HAVE A PATRIOTIC PRESIDENT, ALBEIT REPUBLICAN, THAN A CONSPIRER AGAINST THE AMERICAN VALUES WHICH BY THE WAY, ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE ALLOWED TO RECTIFY HISTORIC POSITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ABOMINABLE TO THE BASIC TENETS OF OUR CONSTITUTION: THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.
KENYAN-AMERICAN OBAMA CAN RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF HIS FATHER'S COUNTRY (KENYA), HIS AFFILIATIONS SURELY ARE MORE PERTINENT TO THAT SITUATION THERE THAN HERE, THAT WAY HE WON'T HAVE THAT "TYPICAL WHITE" GRANDMOTHER MAKING RACIAL SLURRS TO HIM. NOR, LIKE HIS WIFE "I'M-PROUD-TO BE AMERICAN-FOR THE FIRST TIME" MICHELLE WILL NEED TO CONFLICT OVER BEING A "MINORITY" IN HER OWN COUNTRY.
Obama knew what was being said and obviously agreeded with it. Now that it's being made public he is trying to down play what was said and trying to get us to believe he never heard those kinds of comments. What kind of fool does he take us for? Both Obama and Hilliary want us to believe all the junk they tell us when the truth is so obviously. Wright is NOT a Reverend. He is a hate monger and if he were white and making racial comments the news media and black activists would turn the country upside down. Imus's remarks were tame compared to Wright's comments but most of the media and blacks don't think it's wrong. The difference between what is said and who said it seems to come from different worlds. If Wright hates this country so much why has he been here all his life living in the "terrible" conditions he has had to endure. Why don't he move to some country that is better suited to his ideals. The answer is, he is lying. Like many racial activists such as Jackson and Sharpels he makes a good living getting people to believe all of their difficulties in this life is someone else's fault. They are victims. White people can't understand because they haven't walked in their shoes. Well, they haven't walked in white people shoes either. No one ever gave me anything. I grew up with little except the love of TWO parents and a hard work ethic. I have been successful because I worked my way through college and worked a lot of hard hours to progress. Many times I was passed over by a black with less education and experience because our company had a policy of promoting blacks over whites in order to meet their "diversity" goals. So I worked harder and smarter to succeed. I didn't resent the blacks who were promoted. It wasn't their fault, it was management and I became part of that same management. I didn't agree with some of the policies but I was responsible for it's implementation and I did my job. I would voice my opinion when I felt someone was passed over whether they were black or white. I'm not racist. I'm for fair play no matter who it is. Wright, Jackson, Sharpels and others are satisfied only when they get it all their way. Fair play has nothing to do with it. How can they put Reverend if front of their name when they cheat, lie, and steal? And no one seems to care. I was deeply offended by Wright's remarks but I'm white so it doesn't matter.
SEN. OBAMA MADE HIS CHOICE BY TRYING TO TURN THIS REV. WRIGHT THING INTO A RACE " SUBJECT", WHITE'S AGAINST BLACK'S",,, SEN. OBAMA BETTER WAKE UP,,,,,,, THE RACIST IN THIS IS REV. WRIGHT,,,,,I'VE ALREADY TALKED WITH 300 PEOPLE THAT SAID IF SEN. OBAMA IS NOMINATED,,,,THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN NOV. ,,,,,,I HAVE A BUSINESS AND DEAL WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE,,,,,,,,ALSO WHY IS SEN. OBAMA NOT WANT MI. AND FL. ELECTION DONE OVER???? I THINK HE WANTS TO STEAL THIS FROM SEN. CLINTON,,,,,THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE,,,IF ALL PEOPLE DIDN'T GET TO VOTE,,,,,,,IT SHOW'S WHAT A CHEAT HE IS..........
Rev. Wright, is giving us an insight into the thinking of Sen. Obama. What else can we conclude from him refusing to separate himself completely from this Anti-American, Segregation Prone absolutely vile speaking man.
Obama will win this primary against Hillary so everyone just calm down. The bad things that Hannity has done will be revealed to the media soon, he has some smoking guns!
If Senator Obama is serious about wanting to be the one elected to run on the Democratic Party for the Presidential election & win the Presidential election. He needs to cut all ties as quickly as possible with Rev. Wright and the Church he has been attending for 20 years.
One question that I haven't heard being asked is: What if Senator Obama wins the Democratic Party nomination but, looses the Presidental election. Will the race card be used for the reason he lost? Will Rev. Wright as well as the black community use the "White Person" excuse for Obama losing the Presidential Election? Could , if it is a Bama VS. McCain in the Preidential Election become a Black VS. White Presidential Election?
Fox News and especially you Greta know that because of your news bits and not allowing your viewers to hear or read the full text of Rev. Dr. Wright is deplorable and now today you mention the Trumpet without reading or checking before you speak. What has happened to investigative and informative reporting? Please someone BUY FOX NEWS and maybe replace it with a soap opera.
Hopefully most people realize that Obama and the RACIST REVEREND have more than just an association with each other; this is not just guilt by association, this is a 20+ year MENTOR/FRIENDSHIP relationship and it makes me sick when I hear people make it sound like it's not a big deal.
It is a very big deal when the man who claims to be someone who wants to unite America looks up to someone who hates America, nothing makes sense to me, the whole thing really stinks & I DON'T TRUST OBAMA.
I wonder why all of these America haters stay in America; if you all hate it here that much, go back to your homeland, we don't want you here!
GOD HELP US ALL IF THIS MAN BECOMES PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Greta, please go back and show the media coverage where Obama said he had not heard those inflammatory comments and then in his "prepared speech to make white people feel guilty", he said he had some of them. WHY IS THE MEDIA NOT ASKING HIM THAT QUESTION. MAYBE WHEN THEY DEBATE, THAT QUESTION CAN BE ASKED. HE IS STILL GETTING AN EASY RIDE!! THE BOTTOM LINE, OBAMA BELIEVES EVERYTHING HIS PASTOR SAID - HE "CRINGED" WHEN HIS WHITE GRANDMOTHER SAID THINGS, BUT DI NOT "CRINGE" WHEN THIS CRAZY MAN SAID THEM????
Obama is exposing his daughters to his racist hate filled pastor who hates America. If he doesn't hold the same beliefs as Wright, why is he raising his daughters up and exposing them to the man's preaching hate towards white people and hate towards America?
Well it is like the old saying goes the apples don't fall far from the tree . Obama sat there for 20 yrs and listened to Rev.Wright's false teachings and never heard a thing.It is obvious that Michelle Obama has the beliefs of Rev Wright but Barack HUSSEIN Obama does not and never heard any of the negative teachings of Mr. Wright. I hope the media keeps digging,they have just scraped the surface and there is much more to learn about this man. I think that Wright is getting pressured by Senator Obama's campaign. After all with Teddy Kennedy as another one of his mentors the Obama camp could get by with almost anything,Teddy did.
Hopefully most people realize that Obama and the RACIST REVEREND have more than just an association with each other; this is not just guilt by association, this is a 20+ year MENTOR/FRIENDSHIP relationship and it makes me sick when I hear people make it sound like it's not a big deal.
It is a very big deal when the man who claims to be someone who wants to unite America looks up to someone who hates America, nothing makes sense to me, the whole thing really stinks & I DON'T TRUST OBAMA.
I wonder why all of these America haters stay in America; if you all hate it here that much, go back to your homeland, we don't want you here!

What a joke. I have been a member of a 8,000 member church for 15 years, fully understand its doctrine and have had the senior pastor over to my house for dinner on 3 occasions.... and I am working stiff, not a Senator. To think Obama was clueless as to what a racist church he belongs too is to think Bush is an English Major.
Greta, the American people can choose the lesser of three evils. One wants to extend the Iraq draft for another hundred years, one is associated with a radical racist church, and another is sleep deprived. None of them are perfect, so I'm choosing the one with the least flaws and better judgment.
A pastor, Male or Female, no matter what race or creed should never ask God to Dam his/her people. The people are America. Rev Wright should be asking for God to have mercy on a nation that legally allows the murder of over a million babies per year. Oh, maybe he is pro abortion? Maybe that is why Mr. Obama is pro partial birth abortion? They do seem to agree on the issues. America, especially Christian America had better wake up.
I think its all the above the more Obama doesnt distance himself from this anti-american racist the worse off he and his party will be. America is done having the race card played
If Obama can still support his racist pastor, why doesn't he ask his pastor for his support for the Presidency? Because he is a hypocrite. You can't have it both ways. Obama has been caught in a lie, and does not want to admit it. Somehow he thinks he can say or do something wrong, and then act like it never happened, or that people willl just forget about it. Issues about Religion, Race, and Patriotism are very important to the American voter. Unfortunately, he has none. He is not getting my vote, or that of millions of voters.
Wright suffers from foot in mouth disease. Obama wants him far far far away
I believe Obama follows the muslim faith of hatred and his "change" for America is nothing less than the annihilation of Christians in America and around the world. His pastor cannot be blamed entirely for Obama's despicable hatred for anything American because they must share the same hate deologies. Obama must never be permitted to enter the White House!
Greta, I want to THANK YOU and FOX NEWS FOR TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA AND HIS HATE FILLED RACIST PASTOR. FOX is really the only news that isn't kissing Obama's butt. I can't stand to watch ONN(the Obama network news formerly known as CNN). It's disgusting they way they all idolize Obama instead of doing their jobs as journalists.
THANKS TO YOU AND HANNITY FOR STICKING TO YOUR JOURNALIST JOBS AND REPORTING NEWS!
Who cares? Really, this is so stupid...I'm sure he was threatened and is hiding somewhere, but why must you people constantly search out this stuff..this is obviously underground work done by the opposite campaigns and sent to you and you are into it big time...the reference to the "italians" is obviously an analogy to the Romans...so what, if he said garlic noses, he is referring to the biblical times when they persecuted the Jews (Galileans)...and the crucifixion was exactly the same as a public lynching....if you look at these statements that he makes they are simply analogies to make a point to modern times....
he needs to hide under the rock he came out under!
I will not vote for Obama after this came out about his Pastor. If, Hillary Clinton does not get the nomination, I will switch parties and vote for
MCcain in November. Greta, Do we really want someone as our President,
that sat there for 20 years, and listen to these Anti-American comments? I certainly don't. He also, allowed his children to listen to this, and I don't believe for one minute that he was not in church, when His Pastor was saying these things. He talks about uniteing the party, but how can he, when he has a
pastor, that keeps racism alive by the way that he talks about his own country.
Also, as far as all this mess about Hillary running from sniper
fire and she misspoke about this. That's no big deal, the point is she went there, and there could have been snipper fire, but all this mess with Obama is
different. We really don't know anything about him. McCain wants to keep the
war going and I really don't want to vote for him, but my husband and I both will vote for him if Obama gets the nomination. It's not that I don't want a black President either, I had african american friend's when I was 8 or 9, years old, back in the early 60's. I have always had friend's that were african american. Greta, I think that the news should find out more about Obama.
Thanks, Jean
Its difficult to get into Rev Wright's head so the vote is strictly an off the cuff opinion with little meaning. The media, as usual, has milked this issue to the hilt and just can't give it up. Hopefully, the people will get the privilege from our extremely anal oriented press to deal with some real issues that face our country. Sadly, the candidates are all weak and exhibit mininal leadership qualities giving the press plenty of fodder to continually milk and milk seconary issues. Wouldn't it be great if about June all three candidates together decide to say the hell with the presendency and resign their candidacy. I try to follow the political scene but it amazes me how unanalytical both the pundits with their poor articulation and poor analysis claim to be "experts". I chuckle at the assessments and the political spin is horrifying not to mention repetitious. There are many extremely bright people in our country who,like myself, must simply laugh at the whole political scene and how the media makes mediocrity out of stupidity nite after nite. Indeed, when it comes to this whole political mess of stupidity, the play on a word or single phrase is discussed for weeks and the drama that the media expresses on TV is worthy of a Oscar performance. Talk ,indeed, is cheap when it comes to politics and the media. What has happened to our country when our highly educated and diverse population is reducded to nothing more than having our thoughts and creativity being classified as liberal or conservative-that's it. Liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans, how diverse and creative. Our radio and TV talk show pundits clearly demonstrate that singularity, that oneness, that mediocrity and yet these same pundits with their spin and "expertise" are telling people much more intelligent than they how to live their lives. And the beat goes on and on. I'll stop here since I have some topics on cosmology, dark matter, dark energy and particle physics to read. I'll turn on the TV in about 3 days to listen to the same political mediocrity that's been milked for the passed week. Maybe there will be a different spin to draw my attention or should I say - a thought? I won't hold my breath! Joe Mayo MD/Ph.D
Denise is really on to something, I'm sure Michelle Obama feels exactly the way reverend wright feels, about us typical white folks. funny how we are holding black people down, just ask Thomas Soul, Condoleeza Rice, Justice Thomas, Coalan Powell,Bill Cosby, Tiger Woods and many many more successful People of color.
Thank god for Obama getting me back involved in politics....making sure he NEVER gets elected
Whats merky to me is: After 46 years of life on earth, with no father raising him; raised by grandparents in a "mixed" family environment...this is the best you got!! Where is the scandel; where is the cheating; lying on taxes; several women producing various children; I've been waiting on that! This man has been a man, a gentleman; a servant; a husband; responsible; reasonable; speaks for the public; aspired to the highest challenges and even after you labeled him a muslim(spelling). Now that you find he follows Christian beliefs; you tear him down. I find a comfort that a man in MIXED company (religion,family, politics) can rise/see above the rhetoric and has a message that some 14 plus presidential candiadtes (not simple at all) could not do. Not that I agree with Rev. Wright, Hillary, or McCain; but if you are going to hammer Rev Wright for in-justices against America, then shouldn't he be arrested and prosecuted for the slander against the USA? Likewise, I think it hypocritical to dump my pastor of 20 years ( maybe I've learned what to do and caertainly what not to do!)
If you run from the Word of GOD, and say you are a Christian...You are a straight forward hypocrit (spelling) .OBAMA is not! Get him on a real scandel or a issue that all understands; not just one that FOX (the American scale/judge) finds as defult.

Picture this: Rev Wright giving the invocation at Obama's presidential inauguration and other official events, presiding over holiday services, sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom, traveling with the president, as his spiritual advisor, on Air Force One to meet and greet officials around the world.
Who can put a muzzle on this guy? INCENDIARY, un-American, anti-white, anti-Jewish, anti-Italian, bitter, angry. Rev Wright is correct . . . . Racism does
exist in HIS church.
And because of people like Rev Wright lighting the fire, racism will continue unfortunately.
Jean I'M with you we need to get a web sight going "DEMS FOR McCain"
Will never vote for Obama due to his lack of experience and his poor judgment (Wright). Obama is NOT a uniter. If he were, he would be fighting for the voters of Florida and Michigan. In the end, if the Super delegates vote for Clinton to give her the nom, do not complain Obama, these are the rules.
GLORIA,
As many of us Christians know you should not take God's name in vain. In turn one should never compare what we are going through to what Jesus suffered through. I don't see Wright getting whipped to death, beaten. Racial slurs may fly with you Gloria but fortunately the rest of the country has reached the point at which enough of these anti American rantings is too much accept.
i believe the revenend wright is so wrong even if he thinks hes right hes wrong to spread such negitive spew from the pulpit in the name of christ is wrong just ask the lord in prayer & you will recieve an answer. so making a wrong statement in not right even if the statement is way wrong & you think its right. a racial statement is wrong even if its right cause it doesnt premote right thinking or a positive attidute even if its right, so its still wrong to make a wright racial statement in ones on mind is not wight right cause its negitive. the revenend wright was negitive in his approach to his personal right, its alright to think what you want just dont pass off on us the wrong even if you think your wright??? cause we have the right to believe were right its:
God given.
but that does not make it right to you or anyone cause you could think im wrong or am i wright?
sorry for the spelling im blue coller.
take care its cause its the right thing to do.

As the Obama campaign has pointed out, white America does not like to talk about race; this is why the currently polls show a negligent reaction to the Wright blunder.
However, they will get a chance to speak their minds at the polls in PA--I would not be surprised to see Obama get hammered.
This incident goes to show how green the Obama machine really is--they should have mitigated a solution to handling this long ago--surely they did not think the media would overlook Wright's flaming comments--especially when Trinity itself is marketing the inclusive DVD.
*******************
To Gloria Pfier - Obama was the first out of the woodwork to want Don Imus fired for saying nappy headed ho's. Yet he thinks its fine for Wright to say"'garlic noses", GD America, spew forth hatred for white Americans and America. I'm sure Italian's like to be called 'Garlic noses" as much as your or blacks like to be called "nappy headed ho's".
I'm still waiting for the Rev Wright to apologize to every GOD fearing American. remember the Imas thing and what the rest had to do,before Rev Sharpton came down our streets with his bus full of protesters...He"ll never apologize! What makes him so Amighty,? YOU know who the racist is...Its ones like him that stir up the blacks just to keep them down.Personally I and alot of others think he has very close ties to the Muslims (oops,am I allowed to say this,or will I be accusd of racism?) and ,why isn't Mr Obama coming forth and answering the questions about the slum lord he worked for and kept the Black people living in ghettoes while he collected BIG BUCKS..Where was his pity for the black community then?
Obama claimed something about his "white" grandmother. If so, what is his nationality? Is he black or white? If he claims to be black, which it appers he does, isn't he insulting his white ancestry by not claiming to be white? If he is black and white, he actually is both, which in reality is another race, whatever that is.
This is what we should be considering: If "Rev." Wright's comments had not been exposed, he would still be spewing racism and hate from his pulpit, and he would still be Obama's "spiritual leader" and "advisor". And that is who many Americans want to vote into the White House. Most here on this site are either conservative or have woken up to the truth. This controversy has not reached the sheep who believe Obama is a "great guy" and will change our country. Like we need a "rock star" to fix what ails us!
Look, the Rev Wright has talked this way for ages. He hasn't changed and for him to be silent it isn't for Obama's sake. It's because he is being pressured by Obama.
Obama is a person who does things for expediency. It was convenient to be "black" rather than "white", which he is fifty-fifty of each. Obama has made many misstatements about his past and this Wright issue is just another more noticeable one. He is in it to be President and I have no doubt he will do anything, include ditch his "uncle" and that is what I believe he is doing. Just not publicly. Wright is a person loving the lime-light and there's no way he is voluntarily staying off the stage.
Obama won't let the people of Michigan and Florida have their day in selecting the nominee and I am sure Obama is shutting the pastor's mouth, for expediency.
I'm still waiting for the Rev Wright to apologize to every GOD fearing American. remember the Imas thing and what the rest had to do,before Rev Sharpton came down our streets with his bus full of protesters...He"ll never apologize!

I think Rev. Wright is a Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton “Wanabe” at Obama’s expanse. All three of these men seem to be very motivated be profit and notoriety with no regard for common decency or honor. If they had any true regard for their race or for America they would try to help the situation and not hinder it. I think Senator Obama should distance himself from all three of these evil poisonious racest. Senator Obama could possibly bridge the race gap and make this country whole but he must first prove himself to be an honest man, especially to White America. The second thing he will have to do is completely disassociate himself from Rev. Wright. In conclusion I'd like to say that people like Jackson, Sharpton and Wright are the same as the KKK. They are all out to destroy this country by praying on the emotions of the mostly uneducated and poor people of America.
It is hard to believe that a man of God preaches such hatred. I worship a God of love and forgiveness and it is frightening to me to think of someone that has been listening to hatred of our country and almost everyone being our president. He is not being honest when he says he never heard any of it. His wifes statement of not being proud of our country until now, shows their true feelings. IT IS SAD FOR THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN. They need our prayers, not Wrights.(Can't say Rev)
I understand that there is a struggle in America for people to reunite. That doesn't mean that we can't do anything about it.
I THINK SEN. OBAMA AND HIS WIFE SHOULD LEAVE AMERICA IF THEY DON'T LIKE, ,,,HOW WE AMERICAN'S LIVE,,,,,,AND MAKE SURE THEY TAKE REV. WRIGHT WITH THEM,,,,,,,WE" PROUD" AMERICAN'S COULD GO ON BEING PROUD OF WHAT WE STAND FOR. ,,,,,,,
Why does Obama subject his daughters to the racist church he attends if he doesn't believe the teachings of the pastor? TUCC is an "UNASHAMEDLY BLACK CHURCH" who recognizes AFRICA, NOT AMERICA, AS THEIR MOTHER LAND.
Obama accues his white grandmother of being a racist and defends his pastor. Guess we know what blood he's ashamed of.
Birds of a feather, flock together....still holds true. I expect most everyone that would attend that church for 20 years, would hold very similar views, or they would have moved to another church.
Bev from Pa. I think he's stirring the pot.....He's making himself look like the Victim....Like us white folk are after him with threats.. I'm sure there have been threats againist our President and the Pope do they cancel their appearences? He's a White people hater....does he realize his Obama is some white ....
Seems Old man Wright, Obama and Oprah should be put on a slow boat to
Africa since they hate the the USA soooooooooooo much. How could true
Americans ever believe Obama or Oprah didn't know what this dumb a...
was about but yet they want to put a part of him in the white house...........
What a joke!!!! Oprah sure has kept her mouth shut......I'm sure she would
be glad to buy Obama the white house but we TRUE Americans want allow
that to happen. Remember Oprah "A Millon Little Pieces".
The truth is hard to conceal. Wright is staying out of sight for strictly political reasons. Obama has developed under his mentor and "uncle". People do what works for them! So WHAT did Barack get from his 20 year association with that pastor? Also, if he's like an "uncle" then I suspect Wright will be associated with Obama, even if he has officially retired from Trinity Church. Obama cannot win in November against John McCain. The democrats MUST take back the White House.
We need to be careful of this man! How racist could you be! This church says they believe in Jesus. Jesus was a Jew and loved all races. What kind of church says bad words and puts down others. If Rev. Wright and Obama don't like it here they need to leave this country and take their church with them. The church you choose to go to says something about your beliefs. I don't believe for a minute that Obama did not know what was going on. We need to find the dates he went to church there and find out what sermons were preached on those days. I am sure Obama would really be worried if we did that.
NO one has called Obama on his not hearing the comments Rev Wright said.
No one has called Obama on plagerizing "words don't matter"
Obama's speech on race took us back pre 60's when he has promised to take us into the future. What future? One that splits America?
I'm a black professional with two sons, a Harvad graduate and a Stanford graduate. I can tell you this would not have been possible if it weren't for the gains we made since the 60'S.
I'm proud of our country dispite our flaws. Race isn't the issue and we need to stop trying to have a dialogue on it but focus on helping America recover from this upside down economy.
Solve our problems not create a non issue.
Lastly someone needs to investigate what is being said in the black churches....it is scary if they are replicating the junk Rev Wright is preaching.
Please don't nominate a candidate who has shown such poor judgement.
I so wanted to believe in Obama.....NO more...
It will be President Mc Cain...a man that says what he means...Means what says..Not only Talks the Talk...but WALKS the WALK...
To bad the Dem's are just not able to tell the truth on any level...!!!
Billary Misspeaks...Obama has a nasty Paster, WHO has had his EAR'S for 20 years. Unless he was deaf....He clearly believes what Wright has TAUGHT..and Frankly...I don't want Bill as First "gentleman" ( used loosely) or a First Lady who has not been proud of her country until her husband ran for the highest office in our country...What a mess they have made....its comical to watch them blow up frankly.
GOD bless AMERICA...
ANY person who calls themselves a follower of Jesus Christ could NEVER be a member of a congregation that supports a "hate" message delivered ON EVEN ONE OCCASION.
I would like to know what % of churches adhere to this theology?
No denial can possibly excuse any member who has remained with this congregation.
My Bible teaches about the great grace and mercy God extends to all who believe in Him and seek to follow the example of Christ.
I attend a church that has members from all races ... my God looks at all men/women as equally precious in His sight.
I was shocked to hear this rhetoric spewing forth from a pulpit with a congregation standing and clapping with enthusiasm.
I could never sit through a service that departs from the word of God, cursing our country and another race with such venom.
IMO these followers have allowed the Rev. Wright to shackle their minds with hatred and blame toward other Americans.
The bible says those who are placed in leadership have great responsibility are judged for their actions accordingly.
Excuses Excuses. Once again Obama insults the intelligence of the American people. Regardless of whether his racist pastor said ONE racist or un-American thing, or ONE HUNDRED, it should not be tolerated, and he should have left this so-called church long time ago. For people to defend what this racist pastor has said or to defend Obama, they too are racists and should not be trusted. Even if he wins the Democratic nomination, he certainly will not win the Presidency. That is a fact.
Thanks for Fox News for exposing Rev. Wright, and why did no one else touch the story before you did?
I heard Hilary's speak tonight on your program and felt she spoke with great passion for our country and its needs. I was proud of her and I applaud her determination and dedication to our American ideals.
Wright is hiding out because his philosophy of Black Liberation Theology has been exposed. Wright is an agent in this country. He may have served in our military service but he is not a true American. One of the tactics of The Art of War is to divide and conquer. Wright hopes that Obama will be elected, so they will be able to unleash their views on our Country. Obama has too much in his past to be able to trust him. If you read his books, see his ties to Africa, the Muslims and where his true loyalties are, we cannot afford to elect him to the most powerful position in the World. They are attacking us from within, by trying to separate the races. The white people in this country had no idea that this was being endoctrined into the people in these churches. No wonder there is so much crime and hatred in this country with things like this being preached. If you continually tell someone they are down, they will never be able to rise up. So it appears that Wright wants to keep his people oppressed. I think if he is out of the country, he should stay out and if not, he should leave. We don't need people like him influencing people anymore.
You can not believe that obama had no idea what wright was saying for 20 years, give the americans a little more credit than that. I say get the dates obama was in church and you will see that he did lie. I can see now why his wife has made the comment, that she has never been proud until now. She was not proud when she had children or when her husband was elected to the senate? Maybe the reverend was on vacation with obamas. I just do not trust obama or opra. You can bet the Italians will not be casting a vote for obama, not any that I know anyhow. It is simple, he must agree with the church or he would have never stayed, I know I would have left immediately.
I AM INDIAN/ AFRICAN AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD THE TRUTH SO ELEGANTLY SPOKEN. AMERICA IS HIDING ITS DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS, AND THEY NEED TO BE TOLD ,Y KEEP PUSHING IT FURTHER AND FURTHER BACK IN OUR MEMORY LETS BRING IT OUT AND THEN THIS COUNTRY WILL HEAL, GOD BLESS AMERICA. IF WE LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD THEN WE CAN FACE IT,AND MAYBE SOME DAY LIVE WITH IT. YES REV WRIGHT TOLD THE TRUTH GOD BLESS HIM
freudian ??? "this is the first time in my adult life that i have been proud to be an american". Is that statement her Pastor's fault ??? Did her husband know her true patriotic feelings ??? what will we here during the 7th inning stretch of Obama's administration "God bless america"----I THINK NOT !!! you are whom you look up to, whom your mentors are... I thank God that the Jesus i know is not the one the rev. Wright introduced senator Obama to. I'd keep seeking and looking somewhere else cause thats a hate church with a hate message under the banner of a loving forgiving God !!! President Bush is not an oratorical giant like regan or kennedy (not U ted). But at least he has brought pride and respect back to the presidency compared to the clinton regime. How quickly we forget !!!
I believe Michelle Obama is the alpha male in the relationship and is a worse threat than her husband. Her influence on her "nice guy" husband is malignant. Save us all and I mean ALL from more video of: the dancing, prancing Pastor, even though most know he is just a showman selling some "snake oil" and from the Michelle Obama, real- life manifestation of the angry black woman sterotype, oh pleeezee. Hillary is no prize and tells lies and McCain is like a cocked gun waiting to go off. These are our choices? I choose none of the above.
For the person that asked have we watched the entire sermons of Rev. Wright. In some of his sermons yes I have. His calling Italians garlic nose is unacceptable. Just like it would be unacceptable if Italians made other comments about another groups ethnicity. I know Obama isn't responsible for the words that come out of Rev. Wrights mouth but he has used bad judgement with associating himself with this man as his spiritual advisor for 20 years. When Imus made comments about the girls basketball team Obama was one of the first ones saying he should be fired. Well Obama didn't fire Rev. Wright from his campaign until the comments were going to be shown to the public and that says a lot to me. Obama says that he didn't hear these words by Rev. Wright until he started running for President, yet still asked him to be a part of his campaign. I do not tolerate any words that are used to disparage any race, nationality, gender, and a persons sexual orientation. As President of the United States you represent all people and these kind of comments being made should not only not be tolerated the person running for President should reprimand the person making these comments and that has yet to be done. I have been a Hillary supporter but if Obama was to win the parties nomination I would have voted for him but after weeks of him having a chance to reprimand the horrible words being used against other nationalities and our government which Obama has not done I will not vote for him now if he goes on to be the Democratic nominee. I had great hope for Obama, I liked him a lot when he gave the 2004 Democratic speech at the convention. I am saddened that he isn't speaking up about the comments being made, we are all Americans and all want the same things in life and our country. I believe Obama has made a very poor judgement and this judgement call he made I think he will regret when he isn't being sworn in to be our 44th President on Jan. 20, 2009.
What is it about this guy?This reverand Wright controversy should have canned his chances,but people think this isn't a big deal! WHY!!!!!!! If OBAMA believes in this guy even though he is racist and divisive, anti-american and hate filled, then OBAMA should have left his church a long time ago!!!!!!! I dont want OBAMA or anyone he looks up to for spiritual advice anywhere near the White House!!!!!!!!!! Once OBAMA is president, we are stuck with him for at least four years,even if his character changes completely!!!!! George Bush promised anything and everything to get elected and has done exactly the opposite of what he ran on. DO WE WANT ANOTHER PRESIDENT LIKE THAT???????? What are you thinking????? VOTE HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greta, I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your interview with Hillary Clinton tonite. She will make a good president. Also, thanks for breaking the story on the reverend. The americans need to know everything about obama. I wonder who is he. We really don't know much about him and where did he come from. I think he is shady and what is his agenda, no one really knows. I think the americans need to wake up and smell the roses. After 9/11 you can never be too sure. Also, thanks for being fair and balanced, it's more than anyone can say about msnbc or cnn.
Greta,
Let’s say Hussein was a White Presidential Candidate who went to an all white church for 20 years where his Pastor / Mentor expounded the virtues of the KKK and HATE for Black people in his sermons and it was exposed to the public. Would he be able to continue his quest to be the President of the United States of America, and not have to disavow their personal relationship / friendship?
I think NOT!
Obama must NOT be elected and is the most dangerous person in over two hundred years to seek the Presidency of the United States of America!
"Beware of False Profits which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" Mathew 7:15
Greta,
Referring to #21!! If Obama gave $27,000 to his church then one has to think thats how Wright is taking a long vacation,and Obama most likely is paying him to stay out of the picture! If he is nominated,then you will most likely be seeing Wright suddenly appearing,and enjoying his visits to the WHITE HOUSE also! I feel there are more things that will come out on Obama in the next months ahead for I feel there is not to much we know of him anyway! Michelle Obama quoted a few weeks ago-- THAT for the first time she is proud of HER country,but she failed to say where her country is! I feel she & her husband DO NOT consider it to be the USA!! Why does Obama not place his hand over his chest while saying the Pledge of Allegiance? Who is funding his campaign? As I watch today,Obama is still defending this WRIGHT GONE WRONG! I cannot address him as REV.!!
Please try to have Mr Ken Blackwell,a columnist for the New York Sun on your show so he can air out his issues on Obama! There are so many issues that need to be answered before its to late!
Thanks,
Martha
Political correctness has gone too far under the guise of diversity. The white people are required to accept the black culture but the black people only denounce and show hatred for any and all white heritage and culture. White people are supposed to accept the black peoples opinions without question, and should be ashamed of their heritage and culture. I say that this is a two way street and if there is ever to be any reconciliation between the black and white races then both have to accept each others heritage and culture without any animosity. Also the government needs to stay out of the way, they are part of the problem.
I cannot believe that Obama expects the American people to believe that he did not know what was going on in his church. What kind of leader will he be? Does that mean he will not know what is going on in his administration if he were elected president? What can be said about a man who claims that a racist is his mentor. What has he actually learned from Wright? I will not address him as Reverend in the religious sense but as a Preacher of hate against his fellow Americans. If he does not like it here in the USA, please LEAVE. It is amazing to imagine that young children may be listening to and absorbing this racist hate. Where are the white Al Sharptons and Jessie Jacksons?? Why isn't someone carrying on in the same manner the black leaders would if a white minister had spoken in such a manner in of all places a church? Does church mean something different in Wright's world? GOD IS LOVE FOR ALL PEOPLE. WHY IS WRIGHT HIDING?????? HE NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE. MAYBE HE ISN'T APOLOGIZING BECAUSE HE IS NOT SORRY. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. BUSH WAS NOT A GOOD CHOICE LAST ELECTION. HAVE WE NOT LEARNED FROM OUR MISTAKES AND DOOMED TO REPEAT THEM. DOESN'T HISTORY TEACH US TO LEARN AND NOT REPEAT?? THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!
How racist could you be!! I don't know what God they (Obama and Rev.Wright) worship, but it is defnitely not Jesus Christ. Jesus was a Jew. Jesus Christ made each and every person in this world. He planned the exact day and time each person would be born. So, by hating a race of people, you are hating God's creation. Look how close many people were to voting for someone like this. If Obama and Rev. Wright don't like it here (in a country that allows you to have freedom of speech) then they need to leave and take their fellow church goers with them. We do not need people in our country like this.
Gee, folks. Can't we all just get along? :)
All Obama wants to be is The First President of the New Africa of America. So there's nothing wrong with that, is there?
And Obama's wife had admitted to everyone that she has now been proud of "this country" for the first time in her life. Now that's a start, isn't it?
Unfortunately, according to her, "this country" isn't "her country," since she gives her loyalty to Africa and not to the USA. For some reason, she thinks the USA is the White People's country. . . . Hmm, then why would the Obamas want to be president and first lady of what they consider to be a White People's country?
Yes, step up people, and vote for a black racist and anti-American for our President. Not.
The media does not get it! It's not only that Obama defends his pastor, the
truth of the matter is that he believes and agrees with him. All you have to
do is listen to him in his camaigns. Yes we can! It's our turn! To whom does the media and all of these other idiots think he's talking to? He's not talking to all nationalities, he's only talking to to the african american people period.
We don't need a president who believes in Mr. Wright's sermons in the White House.
I am very disgusted with Fox News!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When Rev. Wright made those comments about the American people he was not referring to every American. He is only referring to those Americans like all of you on Fox News. It is very clear that all of you are trying to destroy Obama! ( A Black Man)
It is not Rev Wright who would has hurt Obama; it is the negative media on Fox News day in and day out! Are you guys that afraid of a Black Man being your President? Please talk about the real issue (health care, retirement etc.). Obama made a very nice speech about race. It is unfortunate, that you guys refuse to give him any credit! The American people are not fools! They know what Fox News is doing. Please let us make our decisions on the real issues of our country and not based on what a pastor said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Imus made his one comment, boy oh boy there was hell to pay, sharpton, and jackson did not stop until they had this man fired. Why haven't we heard one word from these 2 men? Even obama had a few comments to say. I guess you should be careful how you choose your words. Well I am here to tell you NOBAMA and that is coming from the garlic nose.
Obama admits to hearing anti white American sermons by saying "The media is picking out the worst 30 minutes, no 30 seconds of a reverend preaching 3 sermons a week for 30 years"Wonder if he realized what he said on national tv and how mant people heard it or was I just hearing things?Somebody let me know.
I HOPE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT WAS NOT MADE BY AN AMERICAN INDIAN OF WHICH I AM ALSO OF THAT DESCENT. I BELIEVE YOU MAY HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM IN BELIEVING WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN. PLEASE DO NOT USE GOD IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS WRIGHT(NOT REVEREND OF GOD). GIVE ME A BREAK.

I AM PROUD TO AN ITALIAN, IRISH, INDIAN AMERICAN. THANK YOU FOX FOR REPORTING THE TRUTH AND NOT PUSHING IT UNDER THE RUG LIKE SO MANY OTHER NEWS STATIONS. THEY ARE JUST EMBARRASSED THAT THEIR POSTER BOY IS NOT AS WONDERFUL AS HE APPEARS. THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THEIR HOMEWORK AND WANT IT TO GO AWAY. WELL. IT WILL NOT BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE THE TRUTH ABOUT A MAN WHO COULD BE PRESIDENT.
After 20 years you've got to know what your pastor believes in, and since Obama regards Wright as his uncle, well, one has to assume that Obama is a racist to a considerable degree (though maybe not as much as Wright). I can't understand why many whites still support Obama. I'd vote for Colin Powell or Condoleezza but I'm very afraid of what America would be like if Obama becomes our next president. I'm an American who was practically forced out of Venezuela because of Hugo Chavez. I hope not to have to flee to Canada next!
I'm still waiting for the Rev Wright to apologize to every GOD fearing American. remember the Imas thing and what the rest had to do,before Rev Sharpton came down our streets with his bus full of protesters...He"ll never apologize! What makes him so Amighty,? YOU know who the racist is...Its ones like him that stir up the blacks just to keep them down.Personally I and alot of others think he has very close ties to the Muslims (oops,am I allowed to say this,or will I be accusd of racism?) and ,why isn't Mr Obama coming forth and answering the questions about the slum lord he worked for and kept the Black people living in ghettoes while he collected BIG BUCKS..Where was his pity for the black community then?
Greta
I am a Democrat and am appauled at the judgement of Barack Hussein Obama, he will never get my vote. I think if a lot of the voters in the past primaries had knowledge of what we have learned in the past two weeks he would in no way be leading in delegates or the popular vote.
Why don't you take a poll of the people that have already voted & see if they would have changed their vote with this new discovery.
Why should we care what Obama's preacher said. Obama didn't say it and really its not that big of a deal people are just making something out of nothing trying to make him look bad but he is still okay in my book. Obama this Obama that Obama MAN get over it FOX noone cares you guys are such instigator. but can't look at yourself!! In the bible it says "judge not, ye be not judged. for with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."1387pg Matthew 7:12
message to OBAMA your doing great don't let noone put you down. Fox is just hating but me, my family, and friends got faith in you!
#8 Justice - My Dear Justice - how can those words be taken out of context? I fear your hiding your head in the sand.
Remember, the people we are friends with, look up to, love, admire, attend Church with a rather racist pastor for "20" years, see as a mentor ARE the people we tend to emulate. You have not been deceived or lied to by Fox News, only the so called Rev. Wright and Mr. Obama.
I think he's under pressure and does not want to be questioned by the media--h has much to hide beyond the words he has spoken. In regards to Obama, he's this man is his spiritual leader, mentor and guidance since he was around 22 years old. Only God know how Obama at an early age has been influenced. He cannot distance himself from this man because although he objects to the extreme statements this man has made, Obama feels the same way but in a more civilized manner now at age 42 and running for President. Furthermore, Obmama would probably like to be in the position to make some of the changes this man thinks should be made in regards to the "white government" etc. and if President, I don't dought that he will make this attempt and furthermore I can tell that this man did this on a regular basis by the congregations reaction. People don't act that way when a preacher says something extreme, they usually have that look of shock--like, Did he really just say and do that? on their faces. It was evident by the reaction that this has been going on for awhile. I believe that Obama, his pastor and his congregation have every right to believe what they want however, when your message is judgement and change well, in the light of what we saw and heard regarding not only the words of his pastor, all commentators (in support of Obama and his pastor and saying that this is common in all black churches) that have spoken in the media and Obama's continual support and flat out telling the Country that they need to get over it because he will continue in the philosophy of the church, it concludes to me clearly what change Obama wants for this Country and also reveals Obama's judgement (clouded since age 22). Greta, your interview of Hillary was impressive. You were respectful and yet to the point. You didn't come across as bias in anyway whatsoever--I respect you for this--seems clearly that there is no hidden agenda. Hillary might have mis-spoken, but so has Obama and others but it doesn't come close to the associations that Obama keeps.

#12 Marilyn - The only people Wright likes are Black Americans. I fear that the fact Obama emulates, looks up to and loves Wright is the possibility he may be a closet racist with a hidden agenda for becoming President and running the most powerful country in the World. Obama has a right to attend any Church he wants but doesn't have the right to attend AND be my President. He does keep the lie going by still stating he never has heard these comments, but anyone above the age of reason, 5 years old, certainly will not believe him.

I am a life time Democrat who is totally disappointed that we cannot get a single person who is honorable as a nominee. We have a person who hates the very country he lives in and all people except blacks. THIS GUY IS A DIVIDER NOT A UNITER. We got a woman who cannot tell the truth. She is as much a liar as he is a racist. So I will be voting for John McCain in November.
#35 Yvonne - I think the 1st thing would be to look at ones moral and ethical background; if one does not have these basic principles what makes you think they'll do anything else for "you"? Without integrity Yvonne, there is no leader. Its what you start teaching your children when their young, and without those things, they may grow up to be selfish and a part of a "me" generation that doesn't care about other important issues and values.
#48 XME you are so incorrect. I've had Fox on all day and the leading story regarding the dems. has been Hillary NOT Obama. Thats the fact of it. We are not voting for dog catcher but for the highest most important post in the country. One can not make a judgement call if one doesn't have all the facts. Voting on emotion will be a waste of a vote just as voting on "color" or "gender" is just plain foolish.
#155 Clifford - THANKS BE TO FOX for giving us the truth as NO OTHER stations have done. Maybe you want to base your vote on emotion or some other facts but most of us want the TRUTH
PLEASE GRETA, I WILL ASK AGAIN PLEASE DO A POLL TO THE VIEWERS IF OBAMA SHOULD STAY IN OR RESIGN FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. I AM CURIOUS TO SEE THE RESULTS, AS ALWAYS GREAT SHOW, I AM A CLINTON FAN AND SHE DID A GREAT INTERVIEW.
#69 Lorrie - Maybe you haven't watched the news for weeks b4 the wright issue, but all it was "was" positive about Obama. Now the truth comes out. I feel pity for you and others who are not accepting of all truth whether good or bad. Thats what we must have to vote. ALL facts. You have been paying too much attention to Boracks "tiptoe through the tulips and lets get along" retoric. He isn't what he stated all along. Its just totally frustrating to me as a voter to hear people in the "me me me" mode. This concerns our country, its honor, its integrity, its very being. You won't have to worry about the economy, your job or health care if we do as Obama wants and pull out of Iraq. The bad guys will be here; well they already are, but it will get worse. If we're dead, won't really matter if we can get free physical exams. And the way he feels about white Americans, Italians and the like the divide in this country will be greater than we've ever seen it. The divide is here now AND getting worse. THe news Lorrie just states the truth; if you choose to put your head in the sand I truly feel sorry for you.
IF YOU AGREE WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT, PLEASE SENT A COMMENT ASKING GRETA TO LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE. I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did any of you notice when he was speaking to a group of people about the Wright scandal how he was tripping over his words and stuttering. My mother use to tell me "you will always remember a truth but forget a lie". His smooth image is changing now that he isn't the hero he was trying to proclaim. He is no here, just a man who for 20 years has been seated in a racially divided Church and adoring a man who is a racist. Its sad for him and his family, but we all suffer the actions of our decisions. He's 20 years too late explaining.
Is Obama still using the song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours???" at his campaign rallies???????????
THANK SO MUCH FOR YOUR WONDERFUL COMMENT!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!207.
By: Lew Roberts | Mar 26, 23:07
NO one has called Obama on his not hearing the comments Rev Wright said. No one has called Obama on plagerizing "words don't matter" Obama's speech on race took us back pre 60's when he has promised to take us into the future. What future? One that splits America? I'm a black professional with two sons, a Harvad graduate and a Stanford graduate. I can tell you this would not have been possible if it weren't for the gains we made since the 60'S. I'm proud of our country dispite our flaws. Race isn't the issue and we need to stop trying to have a dialogue on it but focus on helping America recover from this upside down economy. Solve our problems not create a non issue. Lastly someone needs to investigate what is being said in the black churches....it is scary if they are replicating the junk Rev Wright is preaching. Please don't nominate a candidate who has shown such poor judgement.
#207 Lew - A man with a voice of reason!!! Being a Black American, your words of wisdom may have some influence on others. I am a white 60 year old woman. I and my husband had supported Alan Keyes for President but unfortunately that brilliant man got no where. Probably too conservate and too Christian. I'll never be able to figure out why the Black community didn't stand up for him more. He would have been an awesome leader. NOW HE would have united not divided. Lew, you understand this isn't about color of skin, as so many keep deflecting the real issues back to. We all must unite as our children and grandchilden stand to suffer much from who is running this great country. I have never been to a Black Church, or should I say ALL Black Church. I watch In Touch Ministries and his congregation is very mixed and he speaks from the "BIBLE" as it should be. The head of about 107 Baptist Churches in our state is a Black Man and he just came to our CHurch and preached and visited recently and the man had such a moving sermon. He preached Bible teachings, told a story about his battle with cancer and his faith, and brought tears to many eyes. Its not color really of our skin, its following the BIBLE teachings of Christ not the version that is man's version and rewritten by MAN to the hate and non-teachings of Christ. God BLess You Lew and God BLess America.
#228 Sue - With you its about the color of skin and to most of us it isn't. You have obviously not read anything that people here are stating. No one says "I'm Not Voting For Obama Because He's Black", no Dear Sue - only you. Please Dear, read the issues. Poor Poor Sue.
what galls me is if oboma is President Mr Wright will have free access to the white house and all of the whites that he hates will be paying for him to live it up and laugh at how stupid the people were for puting oboma in the white house.When you go to a church it is because you belive in what that church teaches,other wise why would you go there,he new and I belive he belived in him,or he would have never stayed and listen to all the hate.
Who cares what Rev. Wrights reasons are? He's not running for president and I'm really tired of the media trying to keep it alive for ratings purposes. The constant statements about should Obama have left his church are spurious. Obama has said that he was never present for any of these statements. End of story! Either you believe him or you don't. Dodging Rev. Wrights racial and government slurs are minor when put against Clinton's outright LIE about avoiding sniper fire in Bosnia. Come on folks, this is approaching ridiculous. Words do mean something! The words of each individual candidate. Not there pastors, husbands or political advisors. None of whom, by-the-way, will be answering the phone for either candidate at 3 a.m.
he cannot keep his engagements because those rich and priviledged white folks have withdrawn their cooperation to any group who sponsor him vis-a-vis TEXAS CHRISTAIN UNIVERSITY .( they give christainity a bad name ) .
I think Wright cancelled his apperances for security reasons and probaly pressure from Obama campaign group. I also don't think Obama should be judged by those comments even though very few of them were untrue if any. Are you going to ban every black kid in that church the past five years from having a chance to be president 40 years from now. You have to be black to understand what black americans go through. Wright quoted somethings an ambassador said and voiced his opinion on what he thought Bush and his group should be waging war on and they were all good wars to support. He is intitled to his own opinon. I know some blacks don't try but niether does some whites. Obama still has my vote and I'm sure thousands of other blacks will still vote for him. I can promise you my family will vote for him.
I'm tired of these dumb polls that you have Greta. Please stop and just discuss the issues objectively. Did you notice that your opinions are always so 'carefully' woven into your questions? Why don't you just tell everyone whom they're to vote for and end this poor excuse of fair and balanced journalism. Don't tell me...you voted Bush TWICE!!! Right? BTW..where's Bill O'Reilley. I have some words for him also.
Rev Wright: NO WONDER MICHELLE OBAMA FEELS GOOD TO BE AN AMERICAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE!!! THIS MAN IS THE WORST RACIST I'VE EVER EVEN IMAGINED...
REV WRIGHT HAS BEEN THE BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND FOR SO LONG HE FEELS LIKE BILL CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE... (BEYOND QUESTION)
OBAMA'S FOLLOWERS KEEP SAYING YOU CAN'T CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS... BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE TO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THEM. I AGREE WITH THE ALL OF THE ABOVE STATEMENTS.
I THINK THIS WHOLE SITUATION SHOWS (which scares me) THAT DEMOCRATS DON'T CARE ABOUT MORALITY, INTEGRITY, OR HONESTY. THE COMMENT THAT THEY EXPECT EVERYONE TO LIE...
MY FATHER POSED A QUESTION TO ME ONE DAY: IF YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG, AND YOU DON'T GET CAUGHT - - - IS THAT OK?
IF YOU READ THIS AND WANT TO DISCUSS IT FURTHER YOU KNOW HOW TO CONTACT ME.
ASK A FEW OF YOUR FRIENDS... LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES... I BET YOU KNOW THE ANSWER FOR EACH OF THEM.
I hardly think he is being pressured by Obama. We have already seen which side of the fence Obama comes down on. He clearly refuses to take a stand against this racist person who claims to be some kind of preacher. You are known by the company you keep. It is clear to me that the "Reverend" (and I use that term very loosely) Wright's primary goal is to get Obama elected to the White House so that he will have someone on the inside and as the leader of our country who can further propagate his hate filled message. Do not be deceived Obama and the "Reverend" Wright clearly have an agenda along with all of those far left leaning liberals who want to see this country turned into a socialist nation and communist agenda. They are fools and foolishness has a price...are we willing to let this rhetoric espoused by Obama and "Reverend" Wright mislead you. We as a nation are in the fight of our life and we need to take our country back and return it to those who have our best interest at heart. I say if you don't like this country and all of the good and freedom that our country represents, then don't let the door hit you in the back where the good Lord split you on your way out.....GET OUT!!!! we want those in leadership in our country who are for americans not for the hidden agendas leading us down the path of socialism and communism.
anyone that would go to a church that the minister would say the things this
rev wright has said does not need to be in the white house running the greatest nation in the world. obama had to hear what he said he's been going there 20 years. read revelaton
I believe Obama was not honest in his remarks regarding his pastor. He stated the minister was retiring he failed to mention he was continuing on as associate pastor, after stating his minister was retiring he reinterated he was not leaving his church.
This comment tells me he is not willing to disassociate himself with his minister. If he were my pastor I would be physically ill hearing the statements he made in his sermons. Obama said the media was putting 30 years of sermons in 30 seconds. I believe we would be apalled if we were to hear all of his sermons. I believe Obama was in attendance when some of these statements were made. This man is not onlyhis pastor but also his friend, I am certain he was aware of his feelings during the past 20 years.
I am ashamed of Obama for having a 'family friend' who is so open about his racism. I was even more upset and disappointed when I read that Obama was so vocal about Imus' comment last year about a Woman's Basketball team; yet he has remained silent for the past year about his pastor's comments; I beleive that he has only spoken up against Wright because of his status in the current Presidential Campaign. I would be very disappointment with Democratics who vote for Obama after this issue. I am not a racist, and I thought that our country was so much further than this Pastor's comments, on several occasions. Going as far to say that the US deserved the 9/11 attacks. I would not have wished those attacks on any nation; it is an act of violence that no person shall ever have to endure. I have family that live in Illinois who share the same views that I have, and are appauled that these comments were made. I definitely do not want a President or Leader at any level who can 'overlook' or have selective hearing when racial or unethical comments on one or multiple occasions. I do not believe that Obama has never heard Wright make any of these comments; especially after Obama states Wright is like an uncle to him. To me, that means these two have spent a great deal of time together, most likely outside of the church when they both would be more relaxed and comfortable and able to speak their minds freely. I will now be voting for Clinton; but if she is not the Democratic Nominee, then I will be voting for McCain. I am proud to say that I have never voted for Bush, and I will be more than happy to say that I have never, nor will ever vote for Obama. Before the Wright issue, I was not 100 percent committed to one nominee and was still reading up on both candidates; after this, I am now 100 percent sure that I want Clinton.
#255 Karl - Now Hillary is certainly no saint. This is also not the 1st time she has lied.
I might ask a personal question of you Karl. Are you a Christian? Do you attend Church? I'm not stating this in a cruel way, but your comments tend to make me think not. When we go to Church Karl, we go to hear the teachings of Jesus Christ. I never hear in my Church hate of any group or color of people, G.. Damn American, that the Government infected blacks with aids, that the KKK leads up to the whitehouse, and so on and so on. Most of us here would state with absolute certainty that they would leave any Church OR organization that preaches - teaches that type of racial hate. Your right, we either believe Obama or we don't, but to actually believe he didn't know about these rantings of WRight and the association with Fericon, The Black Panthers, etc. are rather like hiding ones head in the sand because the facts and truth really really hurt. I miss Church on occasion but can tell you the mission of our Church. Whom we look up to and love is often whom we emulate. These behaviors will be brought into our WHite House. I Love My Country and don't want to see this hate brought into the most powerful position in this Country. IT WILL become highly racially divided and lead to more hate and division than you can imagine. You state that Rev. Wrights and Obamas following are "minor". That statement literally scares me that you as a votor would put such a low regard on something so important. You have the right as an American to vote for whomever you choose, but you may change your mind when a racist becomes President and you helped put him there. Than it will be 4 years of that "hate" and "division". God Bless You and help you make the correct decision, one that builds our Country up and does not bring it down.
GREAT JOB, GRETA,
We simply cannot believe people want to put this guy in the White House. He is a liar, racist, definitely has ties with, the "rev", rezco, farrakhan, the "new black
muslims", nation of islam,etc.,etc. If he didn't, he wouldn't beat around the bush. He continues to attack Hillary, Bill (he isn't even a candidate),Chelsea, mccain and others...Why? Because he's trying very hard to get the real questions directed at him put aside. He's a PHONY, from the word,GO !!!
Today, some commentators on FOX said they doubted if the people who claim they're going to vote for mccain in NOVEMBER, if obama gets the nomination.
GUESS WHAT ? I want to bet any of them paycheck for paycheck I'll vote for mccain, if obama gets it and....I'll want their checks.
If AMERICANS think there is hatred & racism now, wait till obama, wright and farrakhan get the WHITE HOUSE...!!! ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE...!
Is it worth the chance ???
#258 Kevaun - You Just Have No Clue! You've been hitting that koolaid far too long, your brain is rotting.
Greta,
Thanks for your interview with Hilary. You should ask CNN why are they so hard on Hilary and take up for Obama. Is it because they are afraid of Roland Martin, a CNN contributor. Obama has lied about being a professor, so why are they on Hilary. They only project lies about the polls. Obama said today in a speech that he never heard Wright's comments, he said Tuesday that he did hear some controversial comments from Wright. Why don't you guys broadcast this. I am an African American woman and I would not sit under a Pastor like that. Why don't you ask Roland Martin why is he telling the blacks to vote for McCain if Hilary is the nominee in November. That's not right, Roland is just as racist to me. They just want Wright to keep quiet because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. They are afraid Wright will say something damaging and lying about security issues. Keep speaking the truth about Obama, we don't know anything about him. CNN should be criticized for sugar coating Obama. I use to watch CNN and now they don't report facts, they only show favoritism and this is why fox is the #1 news network because you guys speak facts. I am voting for Hilary because I think she can turn the country around. Race doesn't matter to me, and I am a Christian and the church I attend has NEVER preached racisim, we preach Jesus Christian. I am a black woman who love everyone regardless of race. Obama should quit the race because I know there is more that will come out about him. Every actor has to lay his part down sometimes. I love your show Greta. Obama is a liar also, and why are the Obama supporters so full of hate and anger.
I can tell you this I am a conservative but if I weren't and had to vote for either Hillary or Obama you can bet I would vote for Hillary b/c at least I know who she is, she might be a crook and lier but at least she is not evil and Obama scares me wouldn't surprise me if he would give our country away...first nationalize health care, nationalize currency, nationalize religion, ....I don't know but sounds like the Anti Christ to me...everyone better be very careful before voting for Obama...he does have roots in the East and you better be wary.
The meaning of Obama
O is for outrage people now feel
B is for bad judgement you have shown
A is for Allegience to the flag which you do not show
M is for misleading people to the obvious lies you have told
A is for admiring Rev Wright as your true spritual adviser whom is nothing more than a racial divider and hater among many races.
Wake up, people can stop this man. Remember if Obama takes the White House so does Rev Wright!!!! This is not the kind of change we need, and Obama will not bring any type of Unity to any race but the one he admits to being.
whatever the reasons why rev. wright cancelled his trip to florida and texas, is to avoid being question or his controversial ugly sermons in the pulpits w/ or w/o obama's attendance, we will not find out fr obama how many times he heard or witnessed wright ugly rantings against america and americans racist remarks and about 9/11, aids, drugs and maybe more if u will get all his transcripts or videos to investigate, coz obama spoke at the rally again today that the media only took 30 sec of wright sermons , on this obama is still trying to defend wright's ugly remarks, and look what he remarked at geraldine ferraro's speech- obama right away responded to ferraro's racist remarks as racist. he was fast in criticising ferraro and as hillary's supporter, and now obama had delivered how many speeches of explanation about rev. wright and still u dont get the real truth, so he failed in explanation. good u have hillary guest tonight and i've waited for this moment,happy to see hillary and i voted n cauced for her in houston texas, so is my 19 yr old son, my sis, my neighbors for hillary. and obama and his camps n supporters one is george soros heard he rejected the re-votes for florida and michigan coz hillary might win, so last week they said no more re-votes, unless the delegates is split 50/50 as mentioned by chris dodd n obama's supporters. thats not fair, coz floridians voted by the million for hillary and got more than 100,000 votes more that obama and why they will divide evenly??? and in michigan, even obama removed his name in the ballot, he endorsed to his supported to vote against hillary and instead vote "uncommitted" so hillary will lose in michigan. now, coz hillary won the bigger democratic leaning states n big red states like texas n big swing states that deserve the supports of more superdelegates to her side, its not bec. obama won the small red states that dont mean a thing, the reason hillary's delegates is less coz all the states n districts she've won was penalized to a lesser delegates like here in texas, the hispanics districts got only 3 delegates and black districs got 8 delegates and the same w/ nevada and calif etc coz the dnc rules they will penalized districts that didnt exercise the right to vote last 2000 and 2004 and that affected the hispanic districts coz they didnt vote only this yr 2008, but the black populated districts coz dnc claimed that they voted those yrs so they were not penalized, and i think that ruling sucks. if not these rulings hillary shld have more delegates.
Reverend Wright has enough courage and the right to speak his mind; he is in the sanctuary of HIS church. It is his right of freedom of speech to preach a sermon to his congregation on any subject. Not every member of his church will agree with his beliefs, but why is it so hard to believe that members of the church can still respect the Reverend. Catholic priests have for years and continue to molest and rape children, and the Pope and the church have paid money and looked the other way. Catholics remain true to their spiritual leaders, and continue to attend mass and service. I haven’t heard Fox asking why Catholics still support the church and continue allowing their children to attend mass and services, when there is a serious chance they could become a victim of molestation. Not very many of these priests have been tried and convicted I might add--due to the Pope and officials of the church cover-ups and millions of dollars paid out to the victims. Why are Catholic candidates not held accountable for the serious and real crimes of the Catholic Church? There are a lot of Catholics in the Senate, and past presidents who are also of the Catholic faith. Get real people, Obama has nothing to do with his spiritual advisors beliefs. Reverends, pastors, priests and the Pope are all human beings, they make mistakes and they say things which are no politically correct. Obama, nor any other candidate running for public office should be held accountable for a pastor, reverend or priests sermon, thoughts or beliefs.
By the way, why is Fox not reporting McCain's affiliation with the questionable preachers he has requested support from? You have also not mentioned that the former President Clinton asked Reverend Wright to come to the White House with other clergy after he asked for forgiveness in his transgression of adultery, and surrounded himself with spiritual advisors, including Reverend Wright. Hillary Clinton was also present—standing by her cheating husband. Why was Reverend Wright asked to attend a White House event? I’m sure the character and ethics of a visitor to the White House is scrutinized, right?
In closing, it is my opinion that Reverend Wright is cancelling all of his public appearances for none of the reasons listed by Fox; he's cancelling because he is not a politician, he is a preacher and he does not have to publically explain his religion or his sermons, outside the walls of his church to anyone other than his congregation. Apparently, Reverend Wright is a man of great restraint and will not play into the hand of the media. God bless him!
whatever the reasons why rev. wright cancelled his trip to florida and texas, is to avoid being question or his controversial ugly sermons in the pulpits w/ or w/o obama's attendance, we will not find out fr obama how many times he heard or witnessed wright ugly rantings against america and americans racist remarks and about 9/11, aids, drugs and maybe more if u will get all his transcripts or videos to investigate, coz obama spoke at the rally again today that the media only took 30 sec of wright sermons , on this obama is still trying to defend wright's ugly remarks, and look what he remarked at geraldine ferraro's speech- obama right away responded to ferraro's racist remarks as racist. he was fast in criticising ferraro and as hillary's supporter, and now obama had delivered how many speeches of explanation about rev. wright and still u dont get the real truth, so he failed in explanation. good u have hillary guest tonight and i've waited for this moment,happy to see hillary and i voted n cauced for her in houston texas, so is my 19 yr old son, my sis, my neighbors for hillary. and obama and his camps n supporters one is george soros heard he rejected the re-votes for florida and michigan coz hillary might win, so last week they said no more re-votes, unless the delegates is split 50/50 as mentioned by chris dodd n obama's supporters. thats not fair, coz floridians voted by the million for hillary and got more than 100,000 votes more that obama and why they will divide evenly??? and in michigan, even obama removed his name in the ballot, he endorsed to his supported to vote against hillary and instead vote "uncommitted" so hillary will lose in michigan. now, coz hillary won the bigger democratic leaning states n big red states like texas n big swing states that deserve the supports of more superdelegates to her side, its not bec. obama won the small red states that dont mean a thing, the reason hillary's delegates is less coz all the states n districts she've won was penalized to a lesser delegates like here in texas, the hispanics districts got only 3 delegates and black districs got 8 delegates and the same w/ nevada and calif etc coz the dnc rules they will penalized districts that didnt exercise the right to vote last 2000 and 2004 and that affected the hispanic districts coz they didnt vote only this yr 2008, but the black populated districts coz dnc claimed that they voted those yrs so they were not penalized, and i think that ruling sucks. if not these rulings hillary shld have more delegates.
It is shame that most of you in this chat room are one sided. To arrive a definate conclusion, you will need to listen to both sides. Pastor Wright is a very intelligent speaker, he said "God damn america" for treating his citizen inhuman. God damn America for killin innocent citizens in Iraq. If a Pastor does not criticise the government i wonder who else will do that. In South Africa, Bishop Desmond Tutu criticized apartheid which was injustice to the blacks, during that time, he was locked up by the Goverment and criticise by media, today we all know he was telling the truth. In the Bible, Paul formerly known as Saul before his baptism was criticised by turning in to christianity and for speaking against the Government, today he is the foundation of New testament. In the Old testimond, Prophet Jeremiah was known for criticising his people and calling them names like Prostitutes. Any Pastor represents God, you don't expect Pastor Wright to keep quiet after seeing all these going on. Besides he has serve this country deligently in the Military for several years. Please use your Judgement. Do you agree on 100 percent on what your Pastor says? How many catholics have abandoned Catholic Church with all these Priest Molestations and Law Suits? Personally,I'm a Catholic, I will remain a Catholic until i die. Whatever, the priest says does not in any way represent my views or what i do. So please Use your judgement.
#271 Sheila Dear, this isn't about voting in a priest or a reverand. Its about a man, Mr. Obama, that is running for the highest office in the land, who attends a black church that condones hatred. If you attended Church you would understand how most of us feel. AGAIN, we attend CHurch because we follow or believe in the teachings of that particular Church. Speaking of Priest's that have molested children is not what this is about. If we were discussing various religions you'd be on topic. The Parishioners Who Attend A Particular Church EMULATE the preachings of its preacher or minister or spiritual advisor or mentor. Whew! This is so simple and some of you are way off in la la land and not getting the issue here. If you can't see the writing on the wall your either to young or have dug your head in the preverbial sand pit. Best of Everyting My Dear~
B.o. should not waste gas money coming to Ky,Hillary or McCain will be the winnner in this state.President Clinton was a big hit yesterday.One lady came
all the way from Fla. just to bring her Mom who also lives out of town just to be at the rally.The Clintons aren't perfect,nor McCain,but we know one thing for sure,they are not racist.I am for Hillary,but will vote for McCain if she doesn't win.I was never forB.O. and won't run him down.I can't get past the
the racist tapes,and I don't think we should.The word of God teaches love,not hate.Sen.Clinton is a strong lady,and very smart,I think she would be a great
President,She stands strong,had she been weak,she would have already been
history a long time ago.God knows she has been put over the road,only a real leader could endure what she has and keep on going.My prayers are with Hillary.May God continue to Bless AMERICA.Thanks Greta.
Please listen to the whole sermon of Pastor Wright in order to Judge if he was wrong or right. By the way, FoxTV is one sided always against Obama. If need a good news that is balance listen CNN or MSNBC. It's really sick that Sean Hannity is showing his worst on Public TV, one can always see the bitterness of Sean Hannity.
#273 Mike - Did you ever hear of the division of Church and State? Again a non Church attendee. Ok, here it is, a Preacher, Reverand, Minister, Priest IS NOT to discuss issues of government in order to keeps its tax exempt status.
Another thing, IF YOU KNEW YOUR BIBLE I'D NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN, is that Jesus did not preach racial hatred, did not believe that killing of the unborn was ok (Rev. Wright feels that a woman has a right to "choose"-sorry, just not a "GOD" thing), stated man will not lie with man nor woman with woman, as Rev Wright thinks its ok. There is more, but might I sugges you pickup a BIble and start to read. If you did you would understand the truth, but without knowledge of Jesus Teachings, you'll just not get it. Sad MIke, because your missing out on so very much. Might I add Mike that slavery no longer exists, in fact this country has more rights for Black Americans in some ways than it does for WHites. We no longer hang people. Wright keeps the sore festering and will keep our country divided. You may wish to read 207. Very wise man there!
#276 Mike - I know the truth hurts sometimes Mike, but if you want to hide from it, in the end you'll only succeed in hurting yourself. Do you know why the ratings on CNN and MSNBC are so low? People are tired of the liberal media. We care about truth, our Country, and making the right decisions. Fox isn't perfect, but its the best thats out there, unless you want to be dissalusioned into a state of "tiptoe throught the tulips and all is sweet and wonderful". Thats Obama singing his pretty words.
#274. I wonder when last did you have racial debate with the opposite race without seeing the bitterness. Well we need the racial wounds by showing love to one another.
DEAR KISS-JUST THINK | Mar 27, 02:03,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENT. I TOTALLY AGREE. I AM QUOTING WHAT I HEARD MONTEL WILLIAMS SAY AND WILL NEVER FORGET. "SPEAK WITHOUT OFFENDING". I THINK WRIGHT HAS OFFENDED MANY AND DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ENOUGH TO APOLOGIZE. HIS WORDS ARE FULL OF HATE, WHETHER FOR FIVE SECONDS OR FOR FIVE MINUTES. LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS AND HOPEFULLY WRIGHT'S WILL SINK THE OBAMA SHIP IF WE NOT LET THIS GO AWAY. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
#280 Debbie - your words are also very true - Ditto - GOD BLESS AMERICA!
#273. Kiss. I am white man, i read my bible with full understanding and comparism with todays life.We don't treat Blacks equally like a fellow whites.
Most Presidents, Senators and myself are Catholics. We have never been held accountable for what our Rev. Father says. You can see this is real Politics tactics to kick this blackman out of the race because they know it will make us whites more racial hateful of Obama and besides we whites have highest number of votes. For two weeks now the media are still playing 30 secs video clips of Wright criticizing America. this is sick.
#278.Cap- I listen to CNN, FOX and MSNBC, ABC and also read Yahoo news everyday. Fox is really Bias for all ramification.
#279 - Mike - Yes, their full of hatred because some are being taught to hate and that somehow someone owes them. If you think the vile words of hate WRight spews out is bridging the gap of racial divide, my gosh Mike. I just can't believe YOU'D believe that. No one I know of every had a slave (now my white grandmother had to scrub floors for the business people on here street to feed her children), hung a black man or women, etc. Bill Cosby has the right idea. Quit blaming others for your problems. Stay in School. I didn't go to any fancy school, but I learned my abc's. Quit having a bunch of kids in and out of wedlock. The problem today is so many take no responsibility for their actions. Its always someone elses fault and you know what Mike, with that attitude, they'll always be the victim from PLAYING the victim. A majority of white Americans had no special priviledges. Our Great Grandparents and Grand Parents of many different nationalities came here broke, broke as dirt! They never asked for anything BUT they worked hard. My white husband grew up in a 2 room house. Poor as dirt. Outdoor toilet. Walk miles to school. An orange for a Christmas Present. Does he complain? Whoa is me. Someone owes me because we were dirt poor and didn't have anything, MATERIAL? NO. He thought he was lucky. He loved his parents and siblings and they loved each other. When you keep playing the whoa is me sob story you'll get no where. Let me say I certainly know some white people who do the same thing. I could name one in my own family. Gets real tiresome after a while.
Its sick we are out here criticising Wright, when he is getting more and more popular and recognised by great thinkers for his ability to speak his mind which is the foundation of America. there was a big crowd at Florida where he was supposed to be a guest Speaker. Blacks and whites turned out to listen to him, but he decided to boycott because he is sick of the media who always ill inform the people.
#283. Do u think anybody that sat on the pews of Rev. Wright church is not qualified to be President of America or is not a true Patriot of America? Use your Judgement.
#282 Mike - Not accountable Mike, but would you attend a Parish where that filth was been spewed? I really bet, as a Christian, that you wouldn't. What frustrates me so much is the few that believe this is color issue. The only time color came up was when I (we) heard Wrights sermon. Let me tell you Mike, I couldn't believe the hate towards the white race. I was appalled and angry but also sad. I believe in Christs teachings which tend to lead me away from Clinton and Obama. They do not follow Biblical teachings. Has nothing to do with color and on these sights its not been brought up. Mike, your an intelligent man, stop and search your heart; do you really believe a person would attend a church or any organization that said these horrific things over and over and KEEP attending if they didn't believe in them. I'm 60 Mike and please trust me, it wouldn't happen. You or I would walk out and never return. You know why, because its not how we feel and and its not what we want our country to be thought of. Hateful and divided. Mike, I and my husband supported Alan Keyes, who is black. If you know the man he is nothing like Obama OR Wright. What I don't understand with people such as yourself and a few others is why so few supported Keyes. What a man he is Mike. Honorable, brilliant, BUT NOT a racist hate mongor. Obama is the most liberal Senator and thats what people want; to get as far from Christianity as they can get. Well they have it with Mr. Obama. Let Alan Keyes run again, AND AGAIN we will support him!
#274-MIKE,
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHERE SOMETHING HAPPENS AT MY JOB IN DEALING WITH YOUNG AFRICAN AMERICAN ADULTS WHERE THE RACE ISSUE IS BROUGHT UP. THE YOUNG GENERATION IS LEARNING TO USE THE RACE CARD WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT GOING THEIR WAY. WHERE ARE THEY LEARNING THIS? PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT RAP MUSIC. GIVE ME A BREAK! MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK IN THE CHURCHES. I WOULD LIKE TO WALK IN A BLACK CHURCH CLOSE TO MY HOME TO LISTEN TO WHAT IS BEING SAID THERE. I HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST SEVERAL TIMES BY AFRICAN AMERICANS. MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S AFRICAN AMERICAN HUSBAND DAMAGED THEIR DAUGHTER BY THROWING HER AGAINST THE WALL. SHE IS PERMANENTLY BRAIN DAMAGED. MY VIEWS ARE NOT BASED ON SKIN COLOR. I LOOK AT THE PERSON. ONE OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN YOUNG ADULTS AT MY JOB CONFIDED IN ME THE OTHER DAY CONCERNING THE FACT THAT HIS DAD TOOK HIS MONEY TO BUY DRUGS. MY HEART WAS BREAKING FOR HIM. I DO NOT SEE COLOR. TRUE AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE A PERSON WHO CLAIMS A RACIST AS HIS MENTOR. MENTOR DEFINED: a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. DO YOU GET WHAT I AM SAYING?
#284 - Mike please tell me why you support a man that damn's America. If you believe that to be just like the Rev White why do you reside hear in America??????? There a other places you can reside with Rev White, and the whole Trinity Congregation. And in your new place of residence can spew all the racist hatred you can think of. You maybe sick of the criticism, but we are sick of racial haters like Wright and possibly yourself, spreading hate, anger and racial tensions.
we need racial healing because even those black kids unborn, by the time they grew up and understand that blacks were not allowed to sit on the same sits in a bus with whites, were not allowed to use the same toilet, where not allowed in the downtown area. This will always renew that racial wounds. I am a white man, i am speaking from the heart. we need to love one another so that those racial wounds would not be renewed.
#285 Mike - Truthfully I would not vote for any man or woman who believed in the teachings of Wright. I feel truly sorry for you if you feel that you would. I am so fearful of people such as yourself - I know you have a right to your opinion, but fear you will find out too late the consequences of that ignorance. Maybe Debbie #287 will get through to you as to what we are trying to say. I just get disgusted with you and others detracting from the real issues here and making this about "color".
#289 Mike - Your living in another time and age. That is no longer going on. How can anything heal when one lives in the past. I had been so hurt as a child and if I lived continually back there I could not live here in the present. If you keep pulling that scab off nothing will ever heal. Of course there are some that want to live back there. They love to hate, to pity themselves, to find any excuse there is or to blame anyone they can think of for their own failings. We are responsible each, for ourselves. Its part of growing up and if you don't or won't take responsibility one is living as a child and certainly not a grown up.
#287. we all get discrimated everyday, but how do we healed those racial gaps? if you go to church that should be your judgement. Meanwhile, you will need to listen to full preaching in order to arrive at more concrete and concise decision. God Bless America as we love eachother and treat eachother as one. God damn America if we treat people unequally.lol Thats what Wright said, are u offended? think smart Debbie, i know you are intelligent.
#289 - Mike Dwelling on the past is why racial hatred continues. Time to move on those situations no longer exist. People are teaching the black kids hatred, that is why they are involved in serious crimes as adults. Lack of education and role models are the main reason. If the African Americans do not move on how will any of these issue's ever end???????????????????????
#289 Mike - If you keep drilling into those childrens heads "hate" how will things ever change. You speak of love - well, my advice is to teach ones children that. That what happened in the past IS IN the past and that we should get along and accept each other on their integrity not the color of their skin. We whites risk skin cancer, only to have that same beautiful brown skin as some African Americans. We are all the same inside, except if our hearts are black with hate, anger and you owe me!
#292 Mike - Using the Lords name in vain - thats also a sin - based on the Bible I know.
#291. I'm a catholic. do u think i accept all what the priest says? do u think i am resposible for priest molesting kids? of course NO. Do u think Wright preaches God damn America and hateful Sermons everyday? if yes, where are the tapes ? meanwhile, have u listen to any full sermon of Wright? Cutting someone sermon bit by bit is useless. That is wright's view it does not in anyway represent our President to be, in person of BARACK OBAMA who will use his divided race to heal Americans racial wounds.
Mike: It will never ever be a perfect world. We have worse to worry about. Osama and his bunch of dandy's are using woman and children strapped with bombs to kill us. THey hate us in the name of their so called god. They would and will do whatever it takes to destroy us and the country. I know of no one Mike who goes through life without suffering. You can not rate ones suffering as worse than anothers. No one gets through life without pain and agony. I just get weary of going over and over things that no longer exist when the threats to our country are far worse. Vote for Obama but start building your bomb shelter.
#207 - Lew Roberts: You are truly a wonderful man who speaks with great intellect and from the heart. May God bless you and your family.
#296 - Mike - if you found out the particular Priest at your Church was molesting children would you leave? I would. Would I think ALL Priests did that type of think? NO. Teaching 1 sermon with hate is 1 too many. When I attend Church it invigorates me, makes me feel closer to God, teaches me right from wrong. I can tell you this with my hand on a Bible, if one time, my Pastor said even 1 sentance like Wright's I would have walked out DURING the service. I feel badly that you feel this is somehow appropriate in the house of the Lord or would somehow condone this type of behavior for even 1 minute. I pray the Lord speaks to your heart, not so much about Obama and Wright, but about his word and his love for you and what he wants "from you".
MIKE #292,
I WOULD NEVER QUOTE SUCH A FOUL MAN. AMERICA SHOULD NOT BE DAMMED BY GOD FOR ANY REASON. I DID LISTEN AND MY EARS DO NOT DECEIVE ME LIKE YOURS DO. IF YOU FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT HIS WORDS, WHY DON'T YOU AND THOSE WHO DEFEND HIS WORDS LEAVE OUR AMERICA. WRIGHT IS INCLUDING ALL OF AMERICA IN HIS HATE SPEECHES. I THINK YOU ARE UNDER SOME KIND OF DELUSION. I, AS A PROUD AMERICAN, DO NOT WANT TO BE DAMMED FOR THE ACTIONS OF A MINUTE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!
Obama is not capable of healing the racial wounds that divide America. He told lie upon lie when called upon his relationship w/Rev Wright. He sat there for 20 years along w/his unproud of America wife and let their two children listen to that crap the Rev was spewing. Obama has not earned the right to be President of our wonderful nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way priests that molest kids are prosecuted.
#296 Mike - Your views do frighten me I am afraid to say Mike - only because your a votor who may, unintentially, but without careful thought, help to really hurt our country.
#302. KISS - JUST THINK | Mar 27, 03:15
OH MY!!!!!!!! YOU TOOK THE WORDS BELOW DIRECTLY FROM MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!
MIKE , I TOTALLY AGREE TO THE INFINITE POWER. WAKE UP!! IT IS NOT TOO LATE. WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU SEE THE TRUTH. YOU ARE OUTNUMBERED. I WILL ASK MY TRUE, LOVING, AND COLORBLIND GOD TO ALSO HELP YOU.
#296 Mike - Your views do frighten me I am afraid to say Mike - only because your a voter who may, unintentially, but without careful thought, help to really hurt our country.
Obama coming from black dad and a white mom symbolizes the love we whites should have for the blacks. Obama himself cannot heal racial wounds without us supporting him. Obama did denounce his Pastor comment, do u exoect him to throw him under the bus? Obama did denounce his grandmom's comments about blacks, do u expect him to throw her under the bus? If he does, he is someone who is not strong enough for his judgement and he will be viewed as someone who is ungreatful. we all have friends who are very racial, do we abandon them? I'm afriad Kiss, you are leading us to America of 1950's. Please use your judgement. I beleive you are intelligent.
#302 KISS - JUST THINK AND #301 Lisa in Michigan,
WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO HELP MIKE. THANKS!!!
MIKE, DID YOU VOTE FOR BUSH? IF YES, YOU CAN REDEEM YOURSELF BY NOT SUPPORTING OBAMA WHO HAS A RACIST AS A MENTOR.
#304 - Mike Obama denounced Wright's words because he had no choice. He still keeps stating he won't disown Wright, his church by the way the new pastor seems to be in awe of Rev Wright. So what exactly did Obama denounce?????????? Obama should just Denounce He Candidacy in the Presidential Race!!!!
#304 - Mike - Dear Mike - It is you who are in the 50's and might I say back 150 years. Please, come into this century. Busses are now "driven" by black people! There is afirmative action which gives them more often times than the white man who is sometimes better qualified. Obama is black, was ahead in the polls, and was halted dead in his tracks by attending and adoring and looking up to a racist pig! Sorry, got a little caried away there. Actually that pretty much sums up Mr. Wright. An educated "pig" but none the less a "pig". When Obama so disrespectfully disrespected his Grandmother he called her another "typical white person". Come on now Mike. You just have to see the writing on the wall here. Why would this man denounce the loving woman who helped raise him when what she said was to him, PRIVATELY, speaking Grandmother to Grandson. How appalling that he would, to protect himself, THROW HER UNDER A BUS! He would do that to his beloved Grandmother. What he did to her alone, makes me quite ill. Some of us here are trying to show you another perspective. Of course you may be pulling our legs just a mite?!!!
Debbie & Lisa - I hate to say it but I don't think he's listening...... He of course has a right to how he feels, but I've never been as frightened of a Presidential Candidate as I am of Obama. Mike, just for the record, don't insult me and the rest of us by saying "its because he's black". Please oh Please don't. I'm tired of typing those same words over and over and over.
Where are the Kennedy's, John Kerry, Maria Shriver, and Oprah now? They all seem to be in hiding. They are all pathetic.
Good Night You Guys - Its been fun and hopefully maybe we touched a heart or two. God Bless America.
#304 Mike -- Obama did throw his Grandmother under the bus. That was the disgusting part. No grandmother deserves that. My feelings for Obama have nothing to do with the color of his skin but the fact that he stood by and said NOTHING while someone else was promoting hatred between blacks and whites.
YES, I AGREE KISS-JUST THINK. ENJOYED THE DEBATE. MAYBE WE CAN TEAM UP AGAIN WITH LISA. WE SEEM TO BE THE ONLY ONES UP AND CARING AT THE MOMENT. GOOD NIGHT AND MAY THE LOVING, COLORBLIND GOD ALWAYS BLESS OUR WONDERFUL AMERICA. I AM A HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEACHER ON SPRING BREAK AND LOVE LIVING IN AMERICA.
DEBBIE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA
TERI,
THINK MIKE LEFT US.
Pastor from Tampa church was on the news here saying he cancelled Wright . Not that Wright cancelled them . No real good reason , just too much going on . ??? OBAMA SHOULD BE DONE !!!!! ............... .JCG .
Oh my! Obama was not the eloquent, articulate speaker while making excuses for himself recently; he stuttered, he spluttered, he hummed and hah'd! I am so grateful to fair and balanced Foxnews for exposing his deception to the American people! Thank you Greta, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and anyone else involved; you are doing an outstanding job!
When Obama first started My first thoughts was something was wroung with this man. I had bad feelings about him and I think their is alot more to be found out about this man. I think this is just the start and I hope you will dig.
#313 Debbie - Just checked back this a.m. Hope you have a most wonderful vacation Debbie. I agree, it was enjoyable discussing this important issue with you and Lisa. I hope Mike thinks it over. Maybe he was just pulling our chains!!! Anyway, enjoy your vacation. It's always over too soon. God Bless You Debbie AND Lisa.
#317 - I believed in this unknown senator at the start of his campaign, but the more speeches he gave, the less I believed in him. And then wham! the truth emerged and we can be thankful to Foxnews for bringing us to our senses before losing our our great country to the evil forces that prevail in our sometimes sick society! I say sick because of the folks still standing by him regardless of the dangers he poses to our freedoms. I still feel he has ties to the evil muslim world.
Why does everyone believe that Obama just can`t believe in everthing Rev. Wright says. Look at the comments Michele Obama has made, She may be a believer in Rev. Wright. She has never been proud of AMERICA until NOW!!!Who would want her for OUR first lady??? TWENTY YEARS of Rev. Wright`s preaching and Obama NEVER heard the racism against whites,jews & italians. Should all non blacks get in line for Rev. Wright`s racism??? Lets not forget his ANTI-AMERICAN speaches...
I keep asking the questions but it seems no one will answer ??????????
WHY DOES ABAMA NOT WANT TO WEAR THE PEN INDICATING
THE AMERICAN FLAG?????????
WHY WILL HE NOT PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART WHEN
PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE OF OUR WONDERFUL FLAG?????????
WHY DID HE STAY IN A CHURCH WHERE THE PREACHER DIS=
PLAYED SUCH HATRED FOR WHITES IN AMERICA?????????????
KNOWING ALL OF THIS, HOW COULD YOU VOTE FOR A MAN WHO DIS-
PLAYED ALL OF THE ABOVE ??????????????????????????????????????????
I do not want to hear anything else from any of them including the canidate who I at first admired. we are not stupid . Mr Wright has no excuse that is good enough for me. Isn't it always we are wrong and we are racist. In all my 62 years there is no good enough excuse to be a pulpit bigot. They incite on the pretext of " helping to educate their people " Now what does Mr. Obama say about the new statements his friend/Uncle made. Jews/ Italians/whites What else can you ignore.He is wrong. He knew how he was. I bet he Heard it all . No I do not think so., do not want to hear him . That man likes himself at the cost of everyone else. He preaches to thousands and lives like a king. Yeah he's really got to do a speech on Fox. We do not want to hear anything that he says. You have other reverends on that I'd rather hear from.
I believe Rev Wright is laying low to maintain his "status quo" financial and political hate inspired life... Just like the defendant of a trial, if you don't speak you can't hang yourself. Let your friends prove your innocence..
Right?
#8 Don't blame Fox cause they are bigots. They seem to hate everyone .They hate all of us. Now are they to blame Fox because we do not like what is said. They should get real. Thank God for Fox.
This is SICKENING that we would annihilate a Romney w/Morman beliefs & crucify him w/our media from the left yet give the pass to this so called Senator who has dealings w/a criminal in a land deal, for 20 years he breaks bread w/a racist Black Reverand & his personal friend & so called Uncle, trash his grandmother who happens to be white & is thrown to the wolves by her 'lovely' grandson, and we have to be p.c. correct about every word or jesture toward a black or brown individual or be classified as racist...blah, blah, blah. We've all heard the rhetoric in the past & present about the history of the Black, etc. & its about time someone turned the tables on this whole conversation...stop the nonsense. Remember what Booker Washington wrote about his own race...& pull yourselves up w/out all the handouts. There's been plenty of that & all it does is create the individual who is expecting more & more & more. Look where we've gotten now. What a crock. The pendulum is swung too far & it better start swaying back or we will never recover from the Obama/Hilary Socialist agenda facing the future generations. I think Obama's not only a liar & a cheat as Hilary is, but a true racist since he played it cool from the get go to 'not' play the race card & I wonder why...maybe because we would locate all this racist 'uncle' reverand speech that he never heard. Hey, I heard recently that he would get all the tapes of the Rev. Wright, his buddy, his uncle, whenever it was that he could not be present for his racist hateful sermons. There's way way tooooo much we don't know about this phoney & thanks to the liberal 'not free' press, we never would have known anything had it not been for Greta & the likes of talk radio....thank God for small favors. I'm sick of all the phoneys running around being p.c. on the television. Give me Mark Levin & Michael Savage & Fox for learning the facts of history & our future. Hopefully it won't be with the Socialist Obama or Hilary. Pretty scary to think we'll have Wright as Obama's right hand man & Hilary's will be no other than Lewinsky's lover, her husband. What a great ticket. There's an old saying about Dems & Republicans...the double standard is that Rep's have a moral standard & since the Dem's don't...anything goes. Whatever...we should all remember kennedy & chappaquidick...or however you spell it. Total double standard all across the boards w/dems.
Hey Teri, you forgot Michelle Obama! She has also been laying very low!!!!
COUNT THE VOTES OF FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN
The petition
Please sign the petition so the voices of all 50 states are heard. Michigan and Florida have been disenfranchised by the DNC. The voter's should not be held responsible for the flawed leadership of the DNC.
The UNITED STATES consists of 50 states and all voices from every state should count.
South Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire held primaries earlier then they were suppose to and the DNC did not penalize them.
A double standard seems to be the DNC's practice.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED -- sign the petition so we can nominate a candidate that reflects the voices of all the people of the United States.

I am an American and I love this country just as much as the next person - but we have to be honest with ourselves and admit that there have been some awful things done in the name of our government, and maybe that is the point that Wright was trying to make. Maybe I wouldn't have said it quite the way he did - but it's getting rather tiresome hearing everyone so shocked at the idea that the U.S. has ever been involved in anything sordid, when the facts are, we HAVE. If we REALLY love this country, we have to face these facts, so that we can be sure not to repeat our mistakes in the future.
#328 Jennifer - Face them? We've been hearing about it for so long I think I'm deaf. We have Osama to worry about now and their band of killers. A little more important to come into THIS century and face the terrors of today. A little more important I THINK! The past is what history books are for. There are NO slaves alive today, no hangings, all are allowed on buses, etc. Lets quit whining about the past AND LOOK TO THE FUTURE AND THAT INCLUDES ALL OF US!
When someone has something to hide they RUN.... Run Rev Run....and close behind should be Obama and then Michelle.
If he understands "contracts", he'll keep a very low profile.
ALL OF THE ABOVE WOULD BE APPLY IN MY MIND lynn
Please allow me to correct myself.... all of the above minus the last one would be his motive. America wake up OBAMA is not anything like our late John F. Kennedy. 20 years and he does not agree with 85% of the rev. views??????
