GRETA, WHEN YOU INTERVIEW WRIGHT, YOU SHOULD LET OBAMA SIT BESIDE HIM AND LET THEM LOOK AT EACH OTHERS EYES AND WE CAN TELL YOU WHO IS LYING AND HOW BIG LIAR THEY ARE...!!!

Lisa W

Would love to hear his explanations!

If only he would tell the truth about how he really feels

I WOULD like to see the sermon in its entirity...I think the media IS taking it out of context.

Chris
2008-03-27 22:14:06 ET

I've seen one too many of "Reverend" Wright's hate speeches. An interview sitting next to Obama would be interesting, however.

Betty
2008-03-27 22:14:19 ET

We have heard what Rev. Wright really feels and thinks...why would we want to hear it again? If you had him on he would just tell lies anyway to defend himself.

Theresa
2008-03-27 22:14:21 ET

I have seen 2 of the tapes uncut or unedited......they did nothing to change my mind. He said what he said and it was not taken out of context. If people want to see some of it, I will post it on You Tube.

I have no desire to ever hear another word from Rev. Wright. I would like to hear more about Sen. Obama's views on race, his church, etc. He is the one running for office, not the pastor.

Maggie
2008-03-27 22:14:35 ET

I think the Rev. Wright should explain what he meant. I would like to watch the whole sermon. I think it would be very beneficial.

Joyce
2008-03-27 22:14:37 ET

I have heard all from Rev. Wright I am interested in hearing and more! We shouldn't give this ignorant biggot any more air ti me.

Why would I want to seem him when hes had time to prep himself . Hes said enough already

Lester

I would also like to see one (or more) of Rev Wright's sermons, full episode!

The liberal media accepts Obama’s “I wasn’t in the pew!” defense regarding the Reverend Wright scandal. Church affiliation reflects the deepest longing of the soul so Americans will continue questioning Obama’s attraction to Black Liberation Theology taught at Trinity Church by Wright and Moss. Thoughtful Americans realize that Barack Obama has absorbed and imbibed Wright’s Black Liberation Theology for twenty years and smoothly communicates Wright’s teachings cloaked within the ideas of change, unity and hope.

Sure it’s possible however unlikely that Obama never sat in the pews while Wright delivered anti-American, anti-Israeli, anti-Italian, racist, paranoid, and hateful teachings. Let’s assume Obama is telling the truth and never heard Wrights divisive remarks. Certainly, Obama learned something from his spiritual advisor and church membership over twenty-years. Certainly, Obama absorbed a deep and subtle understanding of Wrights teachings over a twenty-year period. Certainly, Obama imbibed the teachings of his mentor in the church office, around the kitchen table, on the telephone, or at wedding and Baptismal ceremonies. Certainly, the undercurrents of Wright’s strong anti-American, racist, hate-mongering teachings influence the thoughts, words, and actions of the entire Trinity congregation. Just consider Michele Obama’s anti-American comments. Certainly, after studying with his spiritual advisor for twenty years Obama applies the fruit of his knowledge to his life, work, relationships and Presidential campaign. Certainly, Obama doesn’t expect Americans to believe the only times Wright used hateful language was caught on video and then distilled in a 30-second sound bite. So, the question isn’t whether or not Obama sat in the pews while Wright spewed inflammatory remarks rather what are the core teachings of Black Liberation Theology that Wright preaches?

"out of context" that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. It's not the whites with all the racial ideas anymore. It's the blacks putting these crazy ideas in the community. There is no way you can take "GD America" out of context. That's not a true church it's a racial breeding environment that will bring nothing but hate.

martha s
2008-03-27 22:14:45 ET

I have heard enough of his hate for America and do not need to hear anymore. He is the definition of a black supermist!!!

John
2008-03-27 22:14:45 ET

Greta, How ridiculus that "context" keeps being cited by these liberals. Had this been a repulican's pastor of 20 years, he'd have already been forced to to resign from office.

Glenn
2008-03-27 22:14:46 ET

What I like to see is the whole sermen first, with out the media spin

Gene P
2008-03-27 22:14:46 ET

Would expect to hear excuses for not taking responsibility for what has been said.

san
2008-03-27 22:14:52 ET

I can hardly wait to hear the Rev. rant for a longer time than the sound bite. Dear God where are my ear plugs. Get the excedrin. Kooky Rev. he is.

Traci
2008-03-27 22:15:04 ET

I would not want to listen to either more hatred and "blame the white folk" JUNK or an attempt to lie his way out of the mess . is hatred is so obvious it hurts to watch him!

Joy
2008-03-27 22:15:04 ET

I have to agree with Phil that when you do the interview, Obama should be sitting next to Rev. Wright with the camera on BOTH of them. However, I really don't know that I would waste my time to watch. You have better topics for your show!

florence
2008-03-27 22:15:05 ET

I don't need to see the Rev. defend his sermons, but I would like to see the entire sermon to see if it was actually taken out of context.

2008-03-27 22:15:07 ET

I think Greta should give Rev. Wright a chance to explain himself.

Sue
2008-03-27 22:15:07 ET

Wright should not even be given the opportunity to broadcast nation wide. He is full of hate.

G Davis

I have seen and heard ENOUGH of Rev. Wright to convince me he is Rev Wrong!

Michelle H
2008-03-27 22:15:10 ET

I would like to be able to view the entire sermons with the offensive statements.
Where can we do that?

Belkis
2008-03-27 22:15:13 ET

words, just words.... They speak for themselves! This is NOT a race issue, its an anti-american issue and one of judgment.

I would like to know what portion of scripture was being taught at the time.

Scripture and verse please.

Ben
2008-03-27 22:15:17 ET

I watched an attempted interview ( Hannity?)with him and all he does is filibuster and will not answer any questions

2008-03-27 22:15:17 ET

i would like to here from Wright's own mouth how he defends and justifies his comments.

Ed Hobby
2008-03-27 22:15:19 ET

This, of course, depends on who does the interviewing. Larry King would play softball with him. Sean H. would do a good job.

Gayle
2008-03-27 22:15:20 ET

I've heard enough from Mr. Wright.

Chris
2008-03-27 22:15:20 ET

Yes i would love to see an extensive interview with him. But i do believe that there is no chance of him changing the publics opinion on him. What will more than likely happen is he will talk himself in circles to try to justify his anti-american banter.

Darrell
2008-03-27 22:15:23 ET

I would only like to see an interview with Wright if Bret Hume or Hannity or Major does the interview. Greta, you let your interviewees get run all over you.

Frances
2008-03-27 22:15:25 ET

I am sorry, but there is nothing that man can say, that would justify the hatred that he spewed in his sermons.

mary stuman
2008-03-27 22:15:28 ET

Greta is there a way we can get a copy of these sermons thereby judging for ourselves. I can't see where the media is at fault but would still like to read the sermons. I love the idea about having rev wright and Obama on at the same time always watch the show and love the legal panel guys. mary

Valarie
2008-03-27 22:15:30 ET

Thanks Greta!!!! Finally, something fair and balanced!!!

Judy
2008-03-27 22:15:33 ET

I've heard more than I need to hear from Wright. Even if the statements are "sound bites" there is obvious hate poring from this man.

Allen
2008-03-27 22:15:35 ET

He can explain all he wants, it's all there in black and white!!! No pun intended.

Debbie
2008-03-27 22:15:37 ET

I would like him to explain the difference between the "Black Gospel" he said he is preaching and "The Gospel" of the bible. There is only ONE Giospel

Debbie
2008-03-27 22:15:37 ET

All I've heard is "30 second sound bites are taken out of context". I would like to see what "context" there could possibly be for speaking so crudely about America and the American people.

maggie wheeler
2008-03-27 22:15:38 ET

I would LOVE to hear someone get some real BIBLICAL explanation for what he says about "daming America"......WHERE in the bible is that said. What does he have to say that? Did God not teach LOVE? How is the hate/discord that comes from his sermons in anyway biblical?

Joyce Kelley
2008-03-27 22:15:38 ET

I don't want to hear anything further from a person who so vehemently says "God damn America"!

Diane Bielecki
2008-03-27 22:15:40 ET

The passion at the pulpit is not always popular.... but a man of faith sometimes has to use language which captures the urgency!

Connie Olsen
2008-03-27 22:15:41 ET

I pray that the truth will be revealed, but I believe we all need to be on our knees in prayer. Hopefully, (if he agrees to an interview)the truth will be obvious. It might be revealing to have the 2 appear together.

Steve
2008-03-27 22:15:41 ET

It would be a waste of airtime; Wright will justify himself much as all racists have always done. All of this baloney about threats; just a diversion to take the heat off himself and become a matyred pitiful soul.

Barbara Kaye
2008-03-27 22:15:42 ET

I would really like to hear some of Rev Wright's comments that didn't make it to the tape. The more we hear (Rev Manning, etc), the more horrifying it is.

Sapacey
2008-03-27 22:15:46 ET

I think the fact that Obama didn't stand up to what Rev. Wright was saying was awful. I know I've stood up to many people that have said racist things in front of me. (I"M white) What would the world be like if we all let things go that were uncomfortable for us to confront?

Jan Hensley
2008-03-27 22:15:46 ET

He has proven he is a racist even if we haven't heard the entire "sermon".

roger cummings
2008-03-27 22:15:47 ET

You better have a time limit on the answers or you will be preached to for hours on your first question and you better have hours set aside for the interview or you will be charged with not understanding the explanation.

Linda S.
2008-03-27 22:15:48 ET

Greta,
I'm just so tired of hearing about Rev. Wright. I'd really like him to disappear from the media altogether...

donna
2008-03-27 22:15:49 ET

Greta, there would be no honest answers to the questions... just the same old dance around the "real" issues... all of the "out of context" talk is nonsense.

Winona Fleenor

I would like to hear his scientific explanation of how HIV/AIDS was "invented."

Bruce
2008-03-27 22:15:54 ET

I doubt if you'll ever get the coward to agree to an interview. Greta, please follow up on this "context" talking point that all of Wright's defenders repeat over and over. Is there any way the entire sermon can be heard, so that the rest of us can understand this "context" thing.... I don't get it!

Craig, East Lansing, Michigan
2008-03-27 22:15:55 ET

I just watched your guest spin the "out of context" argument in regards to the good Rev. Wright. Even when you pressed him to give us the "in context" version, he was "deer in the headlights."

The cancellation of the Rev. to pick-up his award was for the safety of Barack Obama's campaign, not the safety of the church.

carson
2008-03-27 22:15:57 ET

after what I've heard, I need no more.

Peggy
2008-03-27 22:15:57 ET

I agree with Phil

Cindy
2008-03-27 22:15:57 ET

Greta: you were magnificient in talking with the Reverend. It is, of course, reverse discrimination and I was stunned to hear his audacity when saying that we have a lot more work to do in this country regarding race. Why is it impossible for them to admit that they harbor resentment against whites and that some preachers apparently encourage it?

You are the best; always respectful...

Sue G.
2008-03-27 22:15:57 ET

I have heard all the hate and raceism that I want to hear. Also, Obama has to share his views......after all, they have been "CLOSE" for 20 years.

Sharon Wright
2008-03-27 22:15:59 ET

I have not yet heard any one questioning where the forgiveness is. Even if the message is taken out of context, it is still hateful. Aren't our spiritual leaders suppose to forgive and spread the word of forgiveness... not hate?

David
2008-03-27 22:15:59 ET

No additional interviews are needed. It is very clear to me where Rev. Wright stands.

Ron
2008-03-27 22:16:06 ET

Leave it alone already. Religious nuts all over this country have pastors that say ridiculous things every week. They keep right on going to the church...especially if it is a big well known church in a particular community. This does not mean people are being spoken for by their pastors. This is reaching a level of hyperbole that is beyond silly.

Barbara
2008-03-27 22:16:06 ET

I would love to hear what Mr. Wright and Obama have to say about reverse racism in this country. This subject is rarely traveled and many people believe this is a big issue.

vicki milner
2008-03-27 22:16:07 ET

I want to see an interview with Rev Write and Obama side by side, both at the same time. That way they can both explain to America where they agree and where they disagree in their views. I am getting sick of Obama hidding behind the apron of this racist bigget!

Jim
2008-03-27 22:16:08 ET

Already heard enough from that character... that's for sure.

carol m
2008-03-27 22:16:08 ET

i would also like obama's wife to be there to explain her comments!!!

Bill Kepraios
2008-03-27 22:16:10 ET

I believe that Rev Wright has done a lot of good in his community and he deserves to be allowed to explain his views and remarks. Soundbites are not an adequate description of a man's entire carreer.

I am not pro or con about him but I think he deserves a fair appearance to explain his views.

Kris
2008-03-27 22:16:11 ET

Not sure if I want to watch an interview or not.......he would be on his best behavior...the best way to tell his true beliefs would be to watch some his sermons in their entirety.

Bob
2008-03-27 22:16:13 ET

It's astonishing how all of these so called Pastors are defending a Racest, who finally put the true face on how Blacks view Whites.

Marcy
2008-03-27 22:16:14 ET

He won't talk to you because he knows he's been caught - he'd rather let his minions take the heat!

ben
2008-03-27 22:16:14 ET

I agree with no. 1 coment.

David Dunning
2008-03-27 22:16:15 ET

Theres no doubt in my mind that the "Reverand" Wright could parse his words and fabricate an explanation that would suit the liberal press and allow them to cast aspersions at conservatives for not forgiving his diatribe and accusing us of misunderstanding him. I don't want to hear his minutia of thought.

Jim V
2008-03-27 22:16:16 ET

The pastor has already gotten too much press. We already know that there are racists in America as well as unpatriotic & unappreciative citizens who have access to microphones. Obama could have put this behind him early on. He chose not to. You are who you associate with.

Hector
2008-03-27 22:16:17 ET

I can't believe how so many people can defend such hateful speech because Blacks were so mistreated in the past. Sen. Obama needs to explain why he stayed at a church like that, not why someone speaks like that. Rev. Wright is not running for president.

2008-03-27 22:16:17 ET

What for? We've heard all we need to hear. I've read his reprinting of the Hamas Manifesto in his newsletter. Don't believe me?

http://jewagainstobama.wordpress.com/2008/03/20/obamas-church-reprinted-hamas-manifesto/

And I've heard him state unequivocally that Italians are ancient Romans. He isn't even educated enough to know Italians did not come on the scene as a people until 500 years AFTER the day of Jesus.

He's a racist crackpot, there is no reason to give him a forum to spread his twisted hatred.

Lee
2008-03-27 22:16:18 ET

Write is a ranting blowhard whose hateful antiamerican, racist cjomments
lead me to ask "why does he still live in America?" You can always move
Rev.

Robin
2008-03-27 22:16:18 ET

I don't think listening to anymore Wright is necessary. Any thing he says at this point will be no more than "damage control".

Patty
2008-03-27 22:16:18 ET

I don't think we'd anything but more of his rhetoric...what would be the point? We've heard enough of it already, and I think we can put it in context pretty well.

2008-03-27 22:16:19 ET

I think everyone knows his true feelings and nothing he can say will change that,he is a racist and if a white person had said those things they would have had them in court.

Anna Nichols
2008-03-27 22:16:21 ET

No explanation needed when you say GD America. That sentence says it all about the hatred of America. Wright and Obama have the same thoughts. They are out to get America from the inside out.

TruthtoPowe
2008-03-27 22:16:24 ET

I really wish the media would speak about why we have 4,000 dead soldiers, a poor economy, and a housing crisis. I believe if we devoted as much time to the real issues as we have on Rev. Wright the United States could get something accomplished. Rev. Wright is not running for President.

anna
2008-03-27 22:16:25 ET

Not no, but hell no! I do not listen to David Duke and will not listen to any other hate mongers regardless of who interviews them. even though you have a great program, Greta.

pmc
2008-03-27 22:16:25 ET

How in the world can anyone take Rev Wright's comments "out of context?" His remarks ARE context!

Karen D
2008-03-27 22:16:26 ET

If interviewed, someone should ask Rev. Wright why he wasn't praying for America.

Jeremy
2008-03-27 22:16:27 ET

Wright should take an interview from someone. He needs to explain what he meant, not run and duck from any interviews or the public. What is he doing having second thoughts about his sermon that day.

Evelyn Castro
2008-03-27 22:16:28 ET

You shouldn't give airtime to a non-patriot.

hfinkel
2008-03-27 22:16:29 ET

u should have publicized the la times article highlighting, his hatred of Jews, Italians, and Whites. Reverend Wrong, is not wright

Jan Hensley
2008-03-27 22:16:30 ET

He has proven he is a racist even if we haven't heard the entire "sermon".

Milly
2008-03-27 22:16:35 ET

I've heard enough from him already!!!

JonJon
2008-03-27 22:16:35 ET

I think you should definately interview both Senator Obama and Rev. Wright together because I do not believe that Sen. Obama did not hear these sermons. In my opinion, Sen. Obama has not addressed his role in this controversy. If he would just come out and be honest with America, maybe he would not have such trouble with this controversy.

phillip t
2008-03-27 22:16:38 ET

It is extremely obvious that 'Reverand' Wright is a racist and bigot of the first order. His condemnation of the USA and of white people of this country is absolutely counter productive for any healing in this country. It is also quite obvious that Senator Obama condons his actions and his words.

christine
2008-03-27 22:16:38 ET

Why watch someone who hates white people. If the white people got up in church and talked about blacks like they talk about whites, We would never hear the end of it. I am sick of all this racism. From whites and blacks. I did not have anything to do with slavery. Neither did my mother and father. So get off your butts go to work and quit depending on the government to take care of you. that goes for both sides whites and blacks I dont owe any of you anything

Steve K
2008-03-27 22:16:40 ET

I would no more care to hear his racist rants than I would care to listen to David Dukes.

Jeri
2008-03-27 22:16:44 ET

I would like to see an extensive interview to understand this Pastor and his comments in order to coordinate my voting choice for the Democratic candidates.

Veronica J.
2008-03-27 22:16:45 ET

Not interested in seeing anymore of this nonsense! Seeing the complete video will not change anything that he's already said. In fact, he may continue to make a "FOOL" of himself and his race!

He is just one of those pastors who gets rich off the backs of "POOR FOLKS"

Joan Bonar
2008-03-27 22:16:48 ET

I think your interview tonight was interesting. It's everyone else's fault. I have never been to a church who spoke like that about any race and certainly not the country. I would have walked out.

Another Dave
2008-03-27 22:16:50 ET

I've heard his sermons and all I need to hear from this hate monger, I don't need to hear more.

Tim
2008-03-27 22:16:50 ET

Greta: Don't need to see or hear more than I've already seen or heard. Context is loud and clear.

2008-03-27 22:16:55 ET

I would like to here the whole speech to actually see what he said before the snipet and after the snipet. that will let me have an honest view on what he has said. I really believe if you cut out the whole speech you can make it appear in an unhonest and inflamed way.

Ana
2008-03-27 22:16:56 ET

I think he should come on and explain what he means...maybe I'm missing something. All I hear is a hate filled message.

Joan Lieberman
2008-03-27 22:16:57 ET

I do not have to observe any interview with this man. He spews hatred in his Church and has for a long time. Obama has been going to this Church for 20 years and clearly is aware of his views. This explains all I need to know. I would never vote for any person to be President of America that respects a man who shows hatred for America!

Farell C
2008-03-27 22:16:58 ET

Yes,along with Obama and Obama's wife and have her explain her Thesis at Princeton

Darryl
2008-03-27 22:16:58 ET

I would like to see this interview, as long as it questioned him about all of Wright's statements as seen on YouTube, not just his "GD America" line.

And I like Phil's idea above, but of course it won't happen.

Linda Gibbs
2008-03-27 22:16:58 ET

GRETA I WOULD RATHER SEE ONE WITH OBAMA WITH A WELL PREPARED LINE OF QUESTIONS THAT HE CAN NOT WIGGLE OUT OF....
I WOULD GET A TRIPLE 6 NUMBER ON THIS MESSEAGE

Duane Wendelin
2008-03-27 22:17:00 ET

Phil is right on. Sen. Obama and Rev Wrigh should both be involved in the "live" interview in the same room.

SANDRA
2008-03-27 22:17:01 ET

LET HIM EXPOSE HIMSELF FOR WHO HE REALLY IS, THE INTERVIEW SHOULD BE DONE BY SOMEONE IN FOX NEWS NOT CNN OR MSNBC

staredown15
2008-03-27 22:17:07 ET

I think that the media has been quite unfair in not providing the full context of the sermons. I have listened to one of them and it is not as it has been projected to the general public.

Ron
2008-03-27 22:17:09 ET

The videos shown on Fox and other outlets were distributed by Trinity. This wasn't some undercover hit job. I have heard everything I need too from this man.

S Hall
2008-03-27 22:17:10 ET

When you say GD America three times....then I have no respect for you(Wright) or any other person who says, "You took it out of context!" Let's stop the silliness!

Debra
2008-03-27 22:17:13 ET

I disagree, you have to understand the difference of the black experience in church and the white experience in church. Why don't you interview The Clinton's paster that was on msnbc today who said he supported Rev Wright maybe he can explain it to you.

Donna R
2008-03-27 22:17:14 ET

Did any of you that voted "yes" see his interview a year ago on Hannity? He was rude, egotistical, and would not shut up long enough to be asked a simple question. He is so full of himself - I believe an indepth interview would just anger us "typical white people" even more.

Tavia
2008-03-27 22:17:15 ET

As an african american woman who is well educated, and have very close friends of all races, who are like family to me, I feel that most white people have never tried to understand black culture. Stop blaming black people for the problems perpetuated by white people. If a child has been abused and never received help for that abuse that child will most likely sturggle throughout life. Well white america, we are your abuse child. Stop treating us like a dirty little secret and take responsibility for the people who helped create. A lot of my white friends are upset with other white people. Most of my white friends have invested years in black people, be it here in america or africa. Can you say the same.

Greta, I've already heard as much as I want to hear from the "Reverend". What I've heard is despicable at best and no matter what the rest of the "sermon" is about leading up to and following those statements, nothing could soften those blows.

I would like to see him put these soundbites into context that makes it okay to spread hateful lies about our country. This man is leading many astray.

Dont see how anything we heard from wright could be taken out of context. He hates everyone but black people. Obama has to know what kind of man Wright his and he is ok with it, but the public is not

larry giantomas
2008-03-27 22:17:16 ET

I have not heard one Black pastor denoune the outrageous lies that Rev Wright made and that I see on TV.. The excerpts from his sermons were lies, inflammatory racism but not one Black pastor will denounce what he said as racial lies... they all defend the Rev.. do theyh all agree with him? Thatis why I could never vote for Obama whom I liked at first. I am not Black

Monique
2008-03-27 22:17:16 ET

By associating himself with Reverend Wright Obama shows the kind of leader he would be. A weak, spineless, antisemite, and a racist who glorifies himself as a unifier. He is full o s---t! I know that if he is chosen as the democratic candidate, it will assure Mc Cain's victory! God Help us. Monique

2008-03-27 22:17:18 ET

I cannot believe the defenses some of your guests have about Rev. Wright. How anyone can deny that Wright's church bulletin are full of hate? Well, this "garlic nose" voter will never support Obama for president....he lacks the judgment and credentials necessary to hold that important role.

God Bless America !

Please do not waste the time............the "race card" masters have one and only one tactic, and it will never vary. They will hit you in the face with a bag of crap AND fully expect you not to smell it!

hal
2008-03-27 22:17:23 ET

Greta,

You just asked one of Wright's associates to put his outrageous comments in context. Instead of attempting to do so he repeatedly asked that these comments be looked at in context. A new manifestation of global warming, the "circular snow job".

janice
2008-03-27 22:17:23 ET

I dont think an interview is necessary, I saw his comments and there is absolutely no racism in it. fox news needs to stop this!!!

tessa
2008-03-27 22:17:24 ET

I'm just not sure why the media is AFRAID to listen to the entire speech Rev. Wright was giving. Tonight, Greta, you even said God Damn America...what if someone took those 3 words and decided to judge you on them? Listen to the entire speech and then comment on it. Unless you do, you're guessing and that's not journalism!

Kathy
2008-03-27 22:17:24 ET

Greta,
In fairness I would like to hear Rev. Wright in his own words, however I find it hard to believe they would be his own words. I'm sure he would be rehearsed to the max and the Obama campaign would be writing the script.

Thanks,
Kathy

In or out of context should have never been said
2008-03-27 22:17:27 ET

In or out of context The words he said should have never been said

2008-03-27 22:17:29 ET

Why bother listening to the spinmeisters trying to say it was taken out of context. The truth is that what was said IS THE CONTEXT!!!

Paige
2008-03-27 22:17:30 ET

Greta - I guess an interview would be interesting, but would allow for time for Wright to develop spin. What I want is to truly hear the CONTEXT of the Wright's controversial sermons. Wright and Obama supporters say Fox is taking it out of context. Ok...so what's the context? Let's get to the truth of the matter so we can all know what we're dealing with...with no room for excuses.

Susan Hodgkins
2008-03-27 22:17:31 ET

I am sick of being politically correct because I am white. The Civil War was over 150 years ago, so get over it. Why do white people have to put up with this name-calling?

mary mcanerney
2008-03-27 22:17:31 ET

I'll bet Greta will never invite the minister who was on last!
You know, Greta, I have been watching your show for years, although I am a Democrat the issues of a presidential race didn't come into it until recently.
I watched because I thought you were a fair interviewer.

However, Greata, you are embarassing yourself. If you are being told to go with this incessant hounding of Rev. Wright, save yourself and quit or refuse to do it.

What a shame Greta.

Mary, Cleveland Ohio

Diane
2008-03-27 22:17:32 ET

This explains why blacks are attending white churches. Rev. White's comment was a disgrace to any Christian in America. This nation was founded by Christians. We as Christian do not use God's name in this respect. He is a disgrace to all of us.

Bernie
2008-03-27 22:17:36 ET

Greta, it would be nice to hear his explanations for some of the things he is talking about. If he is truly a man of God then why is it that he introduces politics into his sermons. If he feels things are wrong then he should fight for change instead of throwing around the blame. Martin Luther King was a prime example of that.

2008-03-27 22:17:37 ET

No, I personel would not want to hear another word from his pastor, and Ithink that Obama agrees with his mentor and spritural advisors theology, especialy his wife Michelle.. If Obama thinks if IF he gets the nominee he will become President, then that is the ODESITY OF HOPE.

Kathy
2008-03-27 22:17:39 ET

Rev. Wright is a racist. If a white reverend would have ranted as Wright did, there would be a massive public outrage. The blacks always want to be victims. That way they can justify and blame their behavior on whites.

caroltom
2008-03-27 22:17:43 ET

Greta, Why has noone asked the most important question. As Christians, do we not understand the 10 Commandants. Rew.Right took the Lord's namein vain. It's a commandant. If you are a Christian, you should know the 10 commandants.

VoteResponsibly08
2008-03-27 22:17:43 ET

Obama's support of this Mans hatred is enough to not want to watch this horrible man in action.
The bottom line whether you say these horrible things in the middle of a speech, you said it and the words are hateful. So his speeches are not going to convince America that he does not hate America, that we deserved that we were attacked during 9/11 and that he feld we deserved such a tragedy. No Obama's irresponsible Judgement supporting this man is unforgivable..Twenty year he has supported him and continues to do so.
I will never vote for Obama...What happen to our love for America that they do not see that Twenty Years support of anti-American can be President of our Nation!

Kelli Mattingly
2008-03-27 22:17:44 ET

I've heard enough from "Reverend" Wright. My opinion has been formed and will not change regardless of his reasons for saying the things he does.

barbara
2008-03-27 22:17:46 ET

Greta, your Wright on! I also agree with what Phil says. Greta, why do you have people on your show that side with Obama? He's a snake and needs to go curl up under a big rock!

Robert
2008-03-27 22:17:48 ET

It breaks my heart to hear those HORRIBLE WORDS COME OUT OF REV. WRIGHT'S MOUTH. I dont care about the rest of his sermon. I dont care about polls because Obama will have to face the music about his 20 year relationship with Rev. Wright. Everyone knows that the media is Pro-Obama and will continue to give him a pass no matter what.

JIM
2008-03-27 22:17:49 ET

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL EVER HAVE ANY BLACK PERSON AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID . THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR A CHANCE TO HAVE A BLACK PERSON AS PRESIDENT AND THEY WILL GO TO THE EXTREME TO TRY AND INSURETHAT IT WILL BE THIS TIME. THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT WIL COME OUT LATER ON.

Louis De Jesus
2008-03-27 22:17:52 ET

I do not want to hear any more crap from this guy. What he said is enough to understand him. I do not believe this goes on in most black churches. That is also crap.

George Del Monte
2008-03-27 22:17:54 ET

Greta, if you do the interview, please hammer away at having Rev. Wright put his words into context. I don't know how long his recorded "sermons" were, but if only you could have them played from start to finish, then THAT should shut up the talking points about sound bites, out of context, "the rest of his message", etc.

Susan Bray
2008-03-27 22:17:56 ET

That man has nothing to say that I care to hear. He has made it clear that he is racist, anti-american, bigoted, and antisemitic. There is no way his comments have been taken out of context. Reverend Wright's comments are a true reflection of the majority of the Black community. And I certainly don't want a man for president who has been close to someone like that and considers him to be a father figure.

Jean Rogers
2008-03-27 22:17:56 ET

His type comments go on in a lot of black churches. I think we, whites, need to know what we are up against when it comes to fighting racism.(be it reverse or not). What I am interested in is JUST WHAT are we supposed to do to make things good between the races. We can not undo the past, or it seems, get past the hatred they have for us. It's Sad.

Pari Hession
2008-03-27 22:17:57 ET

Greta, I voted "no" but I want you to know why? I have lived in this country for the past 32 years and never knew how black hated whites this way. I didn't even know what n***r meant and had to ask my friends what it meant. I don't want to watch anymore of Wright's because I don't want to know about anymore hate in this country.

LIZ
2008-03-27 22:17:59 ET

I do NOT want to hear more of his racist Anti-American attitude. There is no explanation that can change my mind on this even if he were to talk for hours.

Darell
2008-03-27 22:18:05 ET

I'm wondering if they ever talk about god, jesus and forgivness at that church, or is it all ranting against America.

Jane
2008-03-27 22:18:05 ET

They've got this guy buried so deep no one will be able to find him before November. Why are they hiding him? I am truthfully shocked at the black racism from these churches and pastors. Is that what the black people that I pass on the street and sit next to on the metro thinking? What a shame and how sad. The light of exposure needs to keep shining on this until they are too ashamed to keep it up.

Barbara Thrasher
2008-03-27 22:18:05 ET

I do not think I need to hear any more of Wright's comments. I have heard enough of his rantings and I don't see how those rantings could have been taken out of context. As far as I can see, Fox has done a good job on exposing how Wright is trying to cause race divisions more than anyone I have heard or seen in a long, long time. I have black and white friends and I am white and from the deep South.

Joy
2008-03-27 22:18:08 ET

This interview could be dangerous to those average white people like me who up until now could not conceive of becoming a white racist...his comments so far make me wonder if I have been wrong to think of black people as just "people". I sincerely hope he is the exception to his race rather than the rule.

Kathy
2008-03-27 22:18:12 ET

Greta,
In fairness I would like to hear Rev. Wright in his own words, however I find it hard to believe they would be his own words. I'm sure he would be rehearsed to the max and the Obama campaign would be writing the script.

There is absolutely never any excuse for an american to say God D-- America. If someone is upset with our leaders and their actions, they can mention that without d-------our country. If they have no love for this country,they should leave America.

Phil Grey
2008-03-27 22:18:13 ET

I would love to see a fair interview. However, I have already seen Reverend Wright's expanded comments from one of the sermons in question (versus just the snipet). It did not change my opinion at all. His comments were racist and anti-American. The phrase 'out of context' - it's getting old.

Charles Gardner
2008-03-27 22:18:17 ET

I'm sure you could find better news than that.You people seem to just cover four or five things all day long,and some times all week long.
That is piss poor news reporting if ya ask me.As a matter of fact there was no reporting anyway.
I'll close for now.

2008-03-27 22:18:17 ET

Greta, All those so called "Out of Context " remarks from Rev, Wright were taken from a DVD he was selling to his parish congregation. They are not sound bites over twenty years. For sale top the young and old.

Thanks

2008-03-27 22:18:18 ET

Obama worries me. I can't tell when he's telling the truth and when he is not. He is a brilliant speech maker and motivator. But do we need a speaker/motivator in the White House? And Obama said he didn't like some of the stuff Rev. Wright said. I want Obama to sit down beside Rev. Wright and hash this out. Your show would be the perfect place to do it too!

Love ya Greta!

Deb
2008-03-27 22:18:19 ET

I think Rev. Wright has said it all - why polute the airways with any more of his racist views towards anyone that is not of his liking.

Obama has admitted to listening to his rantings and his credibility is zero in my book.

We know Hillary and at least we know what we are getting - flaws and all.

Jack Moore
2008-03-27 22:18:19 ET

There is not much time left for the USA to see who will be the best candidate all because the media is so busy trying to up their ratings by showing junk that has nothing to do with who is best qualified to be commander and chief.
I wish we can see whos best instead of watching all the mess, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, lets please move on in a fair manner PLEASE!

John Rintamaki
2008-03-27 22:18:22 ET

Lets run the whole cd of Rev Wrights sermon so this whole smoke screen of context can be put to rest. I believe a full viewing of the sermon would expose the context for what it really is.

MaureenJM
2008-03-27 22:18:28 ET

In answer to #6, I would like to see the video in its entirety for all to see the message was NOT taken out of context!

William
2008-03-27 22:18:29 ET

No I don't need to hear more the words speak for themselves. Being a pastor myself I KNOW how much context is important. But some words don't need context.

Geraldine Ketter
2008-03-27 22:18:30 ET

Lets match up some of his sermons for the last 5 yrs with Obama's attendance. I would be glad to hear some of his other sermons also. I dont get this business about out of context there is only one way to take what he says and thats not good.

Matt Burnette
2008-03-27 22:18:31 ET

Rev Wright and some other black leaders will not let go of the past. i don't need them to try to explain why. Like Laura Schlinger's book says, many blacks and lots of other people too need to "Stop Whining and Start Living"

Donna
2008-03-27 22:18:34 ET

Hello: I watched the news release about blacks afraid to attend school due to shootings. I also heard teachers are not showing up for work (afraid) due to shootings. Reverend Wright and other hate filled people (blacks) are the reason for all this crap. Blacks have the exact same opportunities as whites. Work for your riches, don't expect them to be handed to you.

your guest tonight said nothing! he never made any sense, he just went around and around about nothing, just another idiot who thinks we are stupid morans who can't understand when someone is putting us down!
why would I want to listen to more hatred from a man who was already spilling hatred about America, Whites, its ridiculous, that Reverand is a joke, he is as bad a racist as the racist who lived in days long ago!!! time to get over it!!! This is America, i am not rich, nor to i have any money, i could not afford to go to college, but I am not a racist, I believe we all deserve to go for whatever we want. If you don't think America is fair then get out! Try living in Iraq, or Iran, see how racist people are then!

Fran
2008-03-27 22:18:43 ET

As white middle class Catholics in our 50's we see the media acting as judge and jury. Greta remember God said, " Who ever is without sin throw the first stone." so why are still throwing stones? The level of media is disgraceful.

PBaggett
2008-03-27 22:18:44 ET

Mistake to give him a larger audience to spread his hate. In context or out of context GD American is GD America. Taken out of context my ___.

2008-03-27 22:18:44 ET

Sorry, I think Rev. Wright has said more than enough.

mike
2008-03-27 22:18:52 ET

I heard enough of what the so called preacher had to say.
Why dosen't Greta air the Thesis that Michelle Obama wrote while at Princeton
and how inflamtory and anti white, and anti AMERICAN that is. If You Don't have it I'll send it to you.
Thank You,
Mike

Emily B.
2008-03-27 22:18:55 ET

I find that I would rather hear more about this from the Rev. himself and not his friends. A video of the sermon would also be interesting, though. Quite honestly, I'm annoyed by this.

Judi
2008-03-27 22:18:57 ET

As far as I'm concerned, he can continue to hide under the same rock he's hiding under now. And how did he get the title Rev?

KathyP
2008-03-27 22:18:58 ET

I am tired of hearing about how these rants of Rev Wright were taken out of context. Why dont we listen to the whole damn DVD being sold in the lobby of the church to get the "real" meaning of what this psycho was trying to get at. I guess what he is saying is too nuanced for most of us to understand.

FredGM
2008-03-27 22:18:59 ET

Yes, I'd like to hear Rev. Wright's explanations. What, I wonder, makes an otherwise educated and intelligent American citizen promote over-the-top conspiracy theories like "AIDS was created by Whites," or that God should "damn America." Each comment is a small piece of a whole cloth that we've all become familiar with, and that we all have dismissed. Or so I had thought.

Ginger
2008-03-27 22:18:59 ET

I want to be fair to Rev. White, I would like to hear more about what his message is. Right now he seems as racist and radical as any one I have heard, it certainly sounds hateful, not rhetoric that I would expect of a minister. I have never heard this kind of speech given in any church I have attended.

2008-03-27 22:19:00 ET

Who the H E L L cares?????????????

David Brunt
2008-03-27 22:19:01 ET

As a Christian the offense here has nothing to do with race. It is for anyone and certainly a pastor to use my Lord's Name In Vain and from the pulpit no less. I am furthuer offended that ministers across this great nation of ours are not in an outrage.

george smith
2008-03-27 22:19:02 ET

i would like to see this interview if Greta or I'Reilly gave it . i would not like to see Colmes gave it. As far as raciam goes, the black people continue to promote raciam everyday by not being americans, but african american!! why must they always seperate themselves from American?

Carroll Collins
2008-03-27 22:19:02 ET

The right reverend Wright has been given too much face time on T.V. already. Most clear-thinking people are aware by now that he is a vile racist. What else is left to be said? Nothing !!

linda
2008-03-27 22:19:03 ET

WHAT I HEARD THE FIRST TIME AROUND WAS PLENTY...WE ALL KNOW THE PROBLEMS... NO ONE IS WILLING TO SPEAK OF THEM IN A NORMAL FASHION TO WHERE HATE ON EITHER SIDE IS NOT SHOWN..PERSONALLY I DON'T FEEL AMERICA IS READY FOR OBAMA...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING HAVING HIM AND HILLERY RUN AGAINST EACH OTHER...AS THE WORLD TURNS..NO...AS THE WORLD LAUGHS...

Nancy Miller
2008-03-27 22:19:03 ET

He will never allow you to interview him because he has
no defense on the issure. As a pastor, it is deplorable
language and I have talked to many friends who all agree,
that we would not spend a minute in a church with a pastor
speaking like that! So that tells tells you where Senator Obama
is coming from.

Jim Boatright
2008-03-27 22:19:06 ET

I would love to see that interview, but I would hope you don't pattycake with him. I would hope you call him what he is, a racist

Jason
2008-03-27 22:19:07 ET

Wright is a racist and I don't want to hear any prepared statements or rehearsed responses from him. The truth was spoken and his heart was shown while he was in his comfort zone with his equally racist audience.
As a white public servant, if I went to a church or belonged to an organization that spewed the hate that Wright regurgitated, I would be fired. Obama is an underqualified closet racist that has no business even being considered for a city councilman much less president. Obama supporters have no idea that they are spreading racism and blindly follow him. Hitler also had these type of followers.

Linda
2008-03-27 22:19:08 ET

NO ! it wouldn't do any good now ! he just isn't credible any more ---he don't know what he's doing. culture says a lot

Rick
2008-03-27 22:19:08 ET

I'm getting tired of the black community trying to change the subject by putting down the media for asking honest questions. Rev. Wright made the comments, he was sincere about his feelings, which is his right. If I as a white American said those things about blacks I would be labled a racist. Rev. Wright is just as much a racist.

Karen from WV
2008-03-27 22:19:09 ET

Would like extensive interview with both Wright & Obama together!

Sandy
2008-03-27 22:19:09 ET

I'd like to hear Reverend Wright try to justify in an hour long interview the 30 second snippets we've heard such as how "white people" introduced the aids virus to the "black people".

2008-03-27 22:19:13 ET

Why was Immus raked over the coals and blacks dismiss racial slurs about whites from the pulpit as taken out of context?

john mackowicz
2008-03-27 22:19:16 ET

I would love to hear him and/or Obahma give us some more BS explanations about what we "typical white folks" don't understand about what goes on in black churches.

2008-03-27 22:19:16 ET

no i don't want to hear an extended interview with this rascist, hatemongering,poison spreading blashphemous man who calls himself a Christian. i am so sick of hearing about "the black church". this is wrong, Christ never spoke of skin color. we are all God's children. men like "reverend" wright are fomenting the very thing they profess to be against. that being rascism. if some blacks who say they want everyone to be colorblind, i suggest they stop supporting the BLACK entertainment tv., miss BLACK america, the naacp, BLACK history month etc. etc. etc. if white were inserted in each of these -there would be an uproar over rascism.

Sandra McDanal
2008-03-27 22:19:17 ET

I have already heard more than I want to hear of his evil satanic rantings. He is a disgrace to everything that represents spirituality, the goodness of mankind, and the teachings of a higher power, no matter what you choose to call it.

Ward Saemisch
2008-03-27 22:19:17 ET

Do not give airtime to this thread of bias, bigotry and hatred. I don't believe it would be an honest and helpful interview, but a rather lengthy diatribe of nothing. Don't call a witness unless you know all the answers beforehand!

Ruth Hill
2008-03-27 22:19:17 ET

I am sick to death of the incidiary comments of Rev Wright. Giving this hatemongerer more publicity is wrong. Are you going to interview Al Quida leaders next to let them explain why they hate America? I don't think so.
He should be ostracized.

Lynn
2008-03-27 22:19:20 ET

This man has said quite enough and I have no desire to hear anything he says. and I can tell you, he will NEVER EVER do an interview. So why has he disappeared, coincidence........I think not.

So anyone notice how Obama stutters? He speaks like someone trained to control it, but it comes out anyway.

Diana
2008-03-27 22:19:21 ET

Greta, you were very fair in your interview allowing that gentleman to have the last word and insulting you at the end of the interview. A direct interview with Reverend Wright would prove what he is all about.

Sharon
2008-03-27 22:19:23 ET

I think all the media should listen to the Wright sermon(s) in it's entirety because the bible speaks of God damning on several areas on which it means "God condemns" a lot of things we do. This would include America also. And I am proud to be an American but America is not always right. We all need to face that and stop over reacting when someone has an ill feeling towards America. This is one man's opinion and we are giving him so much power over us.

Ashley
2008-03-27 22:19:23 ET

I don't feel that he owes us an explanation but I do feel the right and smart thing to do would be an extensive interview. I feel that's the best thing to do if he's really concerned about his safety and after what it's done, an extensive interview is the least he could do for Sen. Obama.

Joe Leffelman
2008-03-27 22:19:25 ET

Rev Wright can say anything he wants. It's his church. It's tough to hear all of the AMENS! knowing that the entire congregation is not pro black but anti white. Reverse discrimination... What a concept!

Obama either agrees with him, lied about his beliefs or is too dim-witted to notice the dogma. Either way, he would suck as a president for all of the people.

Dona
2008-03-27 22:19:28 ET

I would like to view the ENTIRE sermon much more the
an entire interview, or both. He does seem dangerous from what you
have shown us. Let's see the rest to ensure that this is truth and not
just truth by media.

Delbert
2008-03-27 22:19:29 ET

It's still a free country, so if you want to listen to that maniac go to his church.
As for me, I've heard all I want to hear from him. Greta, if you enterview him, I'll watch Nancy Grace that night!

jane
2008-03-27 22:19:29 ET

Rev Wright sounds like a racist...he turns my stomach. He probably is in hiding because in an interview he cannot hide his true colors.

Ed
2008-03-27 22:19:35 ET

It is amazing ti me that your guest continued to argue that the reverend's comments were taken out of context. In what context does "G D America" become OK? This is racism at its worst. How can the black community possibly condone his comments? If a white minister had made those comments we wold be having a very different conversation.

I feel discusted every time I hear that short clip so no I would not like to hear any thing else from him and for that man to defend him and say that you know it is true what that pastor said part might be true however we do not say gd America or hate America like they do. If he feels that way about America why don't he goes to were he came from.

Greta, the only ones who possibly break "Rev" Wright, would be you, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. Would love to see the show and the take down. Cherie

2008-03-27 22:19:44 ET

The problem is the churches are not allowed to be preaching political issues.
The ACLU is busy taking down crosses in our parks and in our schools, why
are they not busy checking up on these churches which are interjecting
politics in their sermons. They should be losing their tax status.

Lets match up some of his sermons for the last 5 yrs with Obama's attendance. I would be glad to hear some of his other sermons also. I dont get this business about out of context there is only one way to take what he says and thats not good.

Nancy

Don't you wonder why he won't explain his comments? He certainly was verbal enough before...

2008-03-27 22:19:52 ET

I can't understand why you all seem to be falling over backwards defending Obama. Obviously over the years he must had heard the anti-A,erican rantings of his Pastor. Is his Pastor as influential as he says he is? If this is the case, the Obama is a racist, and it will be a disater if he becomes president.

J. Lewis
2008-03-27 22:19:54 ET

What your guest were asking Americans to do was to ignore what was said and to let them explain away what was said. It is difficult to say this with out sounding racist, but what was seen of Trinity UCC, is typical of a lot of black churches. All black churches do not subscribe to this form of ministry.

Bob
2008-03-27 22:19:56 ET

Absolutely not. I think he has said enough. We know what he is. Obama should be offering a believeable, truthful explanation, for a change.

It's about time you allow your listening audience to hear the whole Sermon. I vowed to never watch your show again after you would not allow the whole Sermon air and let the people decide. This is an example of the racial divide because whites seem outraged and blacks could care less because this type of behavior goes on in black churches often. We have learned to appreciate the good and disregard what we do not agree with. You must be Republicans that keeps feeding the media with this clips. You will have to answer for this!

Michael Erway
2008-03-27 22:20:01 ET

After attending a church for one year, I understand the beliefs of the pastor, and I didn't attend Harvard. I don't believe that Obama has been honest with us.

Diana
2008-03-27 22:20:01 ET

The central message you, FOX News, and all the other news outlets are missing is that this is a man of the cloth, a preacher. His basic message in that sermon was one of PEACE. Would you like a man of God to come out in favor of killing (justified or not), bombs and war? Have you all forgotten Jesus Christ? Do you honestly think Jesus would say, "Hey, bomb such and such country"? When you look at it from a godly perspective, the taking of life is plain wrong.

The Rev. Wright isn't alone in damning America. Other people who have supported Republican candidates like McCain, for instance, have blamed 9/11 and natural disasters on Americans. Where was the constant 24/7, wall-to-wall coverage and outrage then? This is utterly ridiculous. There are more important things happening in the world and you do an injustice to the intelligence of Americans in covering this false outrage story to the extent you do. The story should have died a week or more ago but you resurrect it for ratings. It's sad and so is your cable news network.

We need to be careful what we ask for. because we just might get it. Just because Obama is black doesn't mean he will be a good leader. I have never heard him say anything of substance to demonstrate leadership capability. But I have heard plenty to make me question his actual patriotism and whether or not he will lead us down a racial war from which we may not be able to return. We won't have to worry about Al Qaida. We will destroy ourselves from within. The country is not ready for this yet.

Greta, I voted yes, however, I do not believe it would change people minds about his beliefs/views concerning the USA. IMO Rev. Wright lives in a very distant past and he himself can not get past his hurts and anger of that past. He does not see/understand how far we, as a nation have come with the issue of race.
Sincerely,
Susan

If you don't air the whole sermon then black people still have an excuse in saying that it was taken out of context, so give it back by airing the whole sermon so they have no excuse. Thank You!

Hunter Comstock
2008-03-27 22:20:23 ET

I don't care to listen to another thing this bigot has to say.

2008-03-27 22:20:25 ET

Regardless of excuses or explanations, Rev. Wright's comments show racial bigotry and incites racial division. Overcoming racial bias will only be achieved when the blacks realize that not all whites are racists. There have been great strides in correcting the wrongs of the past and offering opportunities for the black community to better themselves. Harboring on past slavery will never achieve racial equality as so many blacks desire and plead for. Slavery was then, freedom is now. Let's all work for the now!

2008-03-27 22:20:26 ET

I would like someone to ask Rev. Wright if he is familiar with the second commandment......."Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless......that taketh His name in vain!"

I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY MORE OF THIS (REV. WRIGHT OR CROSBY FROM HANNITY AND COLMES). I AM A CHRISTIAN BLACK DEMOCRAT WHOS VOTED REPUBLICAN THREE OF THE LAST 4 ELECTIONS. I FEEL THAT SOCIAL INJUSTICE ASSIDE, A MINISTER OF GOD IS REPRESENTING CHRIST AND IS TO FOCUS ON THE HUMANITY OF US ALL AS OPPOSED TO OUR RACE WHICH IS FOURTH OR FIFTH DOWN THE LINE AFTER GENDER, NATIONALITY, AND CULTURAL ISSUES. IT IS TIME FOR BLACK AMERICANS WHO CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIAN TO GIVE THEIR BITTERNESS AND ANGER TO GOD TO HELP THEM WORK IT OUT. I WAS BORN IN VIRGINIA AND WENT TO SEGREGATED SCHOOLS THROUGH THE THIRD GRADE AND KNOW WHAT RACISM IS TO BOOT, BUT I BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD AND LIVE BY IT. SO SHOULD WE ALL WHO CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS.

Nasir
2008-03-27 22:20:32 ET

Hi Gretta,
I see your program almost everyday. I think Mr Wright's hateful comments is not regarding race but "hate America"....Obama should have known that a long time ago. Its too sad that it came out at this time. Its about "judgement"...

Derek
2008-03-27 22:20:33 ET

I agree with Reverand Myron Cloyd. As much as Pastor Wright railed on America, your show, Greta, has followed his example. I used to like and respect "On the Record." An unbiased perpective of issues and events. But everytime I have turned your show on since the spectacle of Wright's sermon-- which I thought was refreshingly honest (I am white)--that is all I see. You seem to be the only show that is stuck. You have become old news.

Too bad!!

Bernice
2008-03-27 22:20:33 ET

I have seen the online video of Rev Wright in its full context. He has expressed his dissatisfaction with white america explicitely. I wish that Rev Wright could understand the racism card has got to stop being played and join the Human Being's of America. There are people in this country who refuse to play in the racist game. Isn't this country gloriously standing in a more honorable place than it was in the 60's?

If Obama and Rev. Wreight has had such a close relationship for nearly twenty years what kind of relationship can we expect them to have once Obama is President. Would the White house then become the Black house?

Jenna
2008-03-27 22:20:38 ET

If the Reverend thinks that the 30 min. video will justify Rev. Wright's intense dialogue- than by all means play the video. No matter the race, religious beliefs, or one's personal opinions about the government- should anyone EVER "Damn America" becuase they wouldn't be alive today.

Chris
2008-03-27 22:20:39 ET

Greta,
I believe we should not waste the listners/viewers time with an "in-depth" interview with this Reverend. It is quite clear where this person stands with the white population in this country and the "sound-bite" comments speak enough for what he really believes. In addition this would allow him to bolster his views on national television. He is certainly not ashamed of having made these "sermons" in church and having them being documented, that he would in turn utilize another avenue to voice those views.

Julie
2008-03-27 22:20:40 ET

I would like for someone to ask Rev. Wright just what is the US government doing NOW (not 40 years ago) that would warrant it to be Damned.

Darlene Longballa
2008-03-27 22:20:41 ET

I would keep asking simple questions and not leave the question till it is answered without skirting the issue, as so often happens. Darlene Have an interviewer who can do this well.

Bev
2008-03-27 22:20:43 ET

I have heard enough of Mr. Wright (he does not desire the title of Reverend!). Nothing he could ever say would justify that sermon. I have never heard such a tirade of hate and yet again in a Christian church!? Unbelievable!

steve
2008-03-27 22:20:44 ET

What is the point for an explanation. His words were specific and clear and giving him an opportunity at this point would only cloud the issue and be a repeat of Hussein's address that was designed to instill caucasian guilt.

After all, we are merely "typical white people"

Just in the 1970's of this Great Nation...Could that be why Rev. Wright syas what he says about this COuntry... It has been ran by white men for 200 years and it is in a mess... Can anyone talk about that! Any black man that goes against OBAMA is insane!

And If I was there I would of left that church and never came back again.
Thanks LMR

A Miller
2008-03-27 22:20:48 ET

First and foremost I think you should show Rev Wrights full serman. Also, How could anyone say Obama supports reverse racism, when his mother is white. We all know someone who we may not agree with their views or statements. People can't find anything on obama, so they are just going after people he knows to try and cast a negative shadow on Obama.

Kate

Why would I want to hear this man spit filth on a national show? For anyone who really has questions, all they need to do is listen to the whole sermon. This guy has serious issues with the U.S. and it's policy. But I don't need to hear him defend himself, if were an Obama supporter I would want to hear from him again and see if he correct's himself and admits he knew what was being said inside those walls. Being from AZ... Go Sen. John McCain. F them always playing the race card. Sick of it.

Etta
2008-03-27 22:20:59 ET

There is NO excuse good enough for GDing America. All Americans did not do any thing! If he wanted to GD some one , He should have GDed the people in the White House at the time. But that doesn`t excuse his racist views on all whites , We had nothing to do with what happened to the slaves that AFRICA sold themselves, some were their own relatives. Very POOR JUDGEMENT ON OBAMAS PART TO INVOLVE SMALL CHILDREN FROM THE TIME THEY WERE BORN ! NOT GOVERNMENT MATERIAL AT ALL, i would be afraid for him to even lead the Boy Scouts ! He should be asked to vacate the Senate post also !

No I have heard enough from the Wacko Wright- this isn't about him anyway- this is about Obama, a potential President of the United States who, if he considers Wright his mentor, must be a racist (anti-white, anti-Jew etc). Even an interview with Obama is not enough because he is just going to continue to lie and change the subject. This man needs complete vetting NOW- the more that investigative journalists can dig up now will benefit the whole country.

Sue
2008-03-27 22:21:05 ET

I have no interest of hearing anything Reverend Wright has to say. As far as I'm concerned he has already said more than enough. No matter how unhappy he is with the government and the people who have been elected to run the government, there is no excuse for saying "God Damn America" and the other things he has said.

bob
2008-03-27 22:21:07 ET

Greta, I think we have all heard enough of Mr. Wrights racist comments. There is no way this man could convice me his comments that his vicious attack on whites is anymore than a black racist pig. Jesse jackson is not as stupid as this man and Al Sharpton isn't that dumb either. I think this man just got caught in true form of the deeper feelings that they want to rule over the whites. How can anyone think this man is not full of hate and no words can explain it away. Are we to feel sorry for these people; I have heard MORE than I care to hear they need to go to another country where they will be appreciated. Oh, I forgot they don't have welfare in Africa,

kay
2008-03-27 22:21:07 ET

Kenneth McCallister

If you set in a church for 20 years and listen to this B.S. , then you believe it and are a racist.

2008-03-27 22:21:12 ET

Let' s hear Wright spit out his venom against a country that gave him more than any other.
Let's hear his hatred against the micro state of Israel who has to defend itself and survive against over 1 billion Muslims who want to reduce it to ashes, so to satisfy their own self hatred and ignorance that Wright associates with.
Then let's hear what Obama has to say...

Steve S
2008-03-27 22:21:13 ET

2008-03-27 22:21:16 ET

Greta,

We think the American public has heard enough from Rev. Wright, Sen. Obama and Mrs. Obama about their racism and hatred of America. They don't deserve more TV time to lay more excusses on us. We'd like to hear from Americans who may be critical of their country but love and support it.

Let American's hear the video in its entirety. I am sick and tired of guests saying that Fox is taking Wright's words out of context. I'm also tired of an Ivy League nominee such as Obama playing the "can't remember" card on sensitive race issues.

Donald J Gnaedidnger
2008-03-27 22:21:24 ET

These preachers spread hate and cannot completely answer your questions because they cannot defend their case through Christianity. This is the problem with free interpretation of the scriptures. for instance, being conceived in sin does not make a person have a proclivity to be a bad person. It is not Christian to value any person from his or her parents or grandparents. It is only their behavior that makes a difference.

janet

I AM AN AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE, AND I THINK WHAT REV. WRIGHT SAID WAS VEREY DISGUSTING, AND HE NEEDS TO EXPLALIN HIMSELF, ALSO OBAMA NEEDS TO BE RIGHT BESIDE THE REV AND DENIE IT TO HIS FACE. OBAMA IS NOT TRUTHFUL IN ABOUT THE CHANGES HE PROMISES, TRUTH IS IN THE PUDDING AND AS AN MISSOURIAN, SHOW ME, AND ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN THE MOUTH,WHICH HE HAS ALOT OF.

As a Marine, I am particularly offended by his "G-- D--- America" remark. I have two combat tours, and watched fellow Marines die on the field of combat. In my Marine Corps we only had one color of Marine -- Green! We all bleed red. I expect an apology to all Americans for such an inexcusable remark. I am a "born again" Christian, and cannot imagine any American uttering such a remark, let alone clergy.

Peggy Burton
2008-03-27 22:21:34 ET

Alex
2008-03-27 22:21:39 ET

If you were to show more than a snippet of his sermon you would likely not need to have an extensive interview. Furthermore, your sudden desire to know the whereabouts of Rev. Wright is silly. The man has received death threat on himself and his family due to the ignorance of individuals who chose to take out their aggression against Sen. Obama on anyone who they believe might be able to add fuel to their fire. I'm curious to know if Greta has yet to sit down and listen to/watch a sermon of Rev. Wright in its entirety. This only goes to show the poor job that is being done by those in the media. Your slighted views are responsible for the death threats on Rev. Wright and his family, and it is extremely unfortunate how you will go to any length to accomplish your conservative agenda. Lastly, Greta your interview with Al Sharpton last week proved how limited your knowledge was on the content surrounding Rev. Wright selected sound bites. I really wish we could put aside agendas and report the whole story, not just the part that furthers one side's goals.

Mary Metzger

Shame on you! You continually try and inflame the racial wars that exist between whites and blacks instead of encouraging peace as Obama has done. That is exactly why whites and blacks don't like each other now. You are truly racist. Rev. Wright owes America NO explanation. He simply exercised his Freedom of Speech. If Obama you feel , after twenty years, absorbed hate what do you feel African Americans absorbed after 300 hundred yrs of White America hateful tactics? That is WHAT Rev Wright expressed!!!!! MAY YOU BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony M
2008-03-27 22:22:00 ET

He's had too much time to plot out a 'politically-correct' response to the outrage. I'm going to guess anything said now would be disingenuous. Besides, he should apologize to us Americans who pray to God for His blessings no matter what the sins of our leaders, not our damnation. Who begs for such things from our Creator on any level with good intentions in mind?

pete

John

This is so typical. The America he is talking about is the America that did the following:

Rape, stole, & volently killed our ancestors from Africa..
Give a white woman probation for running over 5 black kids.....but gives a black man jail time for hurting dogs.....the black man doing life while the white gets a slap on the wrist......the american that gives drug dealers more time in jail than a serial child molestor....this is an unfair America...the way men, women, blacks, hispanics, and other races see America is extremely different....and SOME white people just go around acting as if it never happened.

That is why we need Barak.....your show and the media is a prime example why......

Christie
2008-03-27 22:22:10 ET

Why do defenders of Rev. Wright say things he says are taken out of context? He hates his country. He hates white Americans. Why give this hater even more publicity? How could people go to church to worship only to learn to BECOME racists? He is disgusting and should be ashamed.

John
2008-03-27 22:22:12 ET

We should be able to listen to Rev Wright entirely for educational purposes. But those who did not receive critical thinking skills it will make no sense anyway. I suspect that would be half of the listeners

Tom Riley
2008-03-27 22:22:14 ET

What Wright said is clearly the way that most blacks feel in this country, and it is nothing more than reverse discrimination. It is ok for blacks to say what they want no matter who it offends, but let a white say the same thing and all hell breaks loose. The white community is afraid to say this for fear of not being politically correct and offending the black community.

It is time that we as whites stop taking the blame for the racism in this country and put the blame where it belongs, with the black population.. All they want is something for nothing.

2008-03-27 22:22:20 ET

no black person presented in Fox admits the comments were pure hate. Including the wife of Obama that is proud by the first time on her life to live in America. America is great. If they don't like here they should leave...NO country would allow them the freedom to express their incendiary verbiage for the country they live on like US. That "pastor" sits in our values with hate and emotion and devotion....what he expects us to do...laugh on that! I am glad all that hate has been exposed.....

I don't want to hear any more of the Rev. Wrights hate speech.
He said enough and I will not vote for Obama.

Art Vieira
2008-03-27 22:22:24 ET

I would like to hear his sermon in full context...this would satisfy those who claim "he was taken out of context" and those who say "he spews nothing but anti-christian and anti-American hate speech". The entire sermon would give America a sample of the kind of pastoral guidence Senator Obama chooses to receive his spiritual direction from.

Speaking of Rev. Wright and Obama together

Why not ask Bill Clinton to speak to all of the african americans about calling Barack's run a fairy tale and having Charlie Rangel call him names and having BET Johnson introducing Hillary and speaking about Barack that way.

Charles Trump
2008-03-27 22:22:26 ET

I love Fox News ,but we will never get a honest replly, Wright said what we are hearing and now they are trying to tell us the true Americans that we dont unstand what we are hearing.
They are stering the RACE pot and that is all that needs to be said.
God Bless America.

Blessings & cursings come from the Bible. WHy would he even want to curse his home/America?? What kind of pastor preaches this stuff?
And most of all.......it would be great if he would stand like a man and pastor and talk w/someone and really answer some questions.......EXPLAIN THE WHY'S OF HIS SERMON. OR is he just willing to hide?
Be a MAN and face/back up what you said.......or is would he be out of his safety zone by stepping out of the chruch & into another arean where what he said could be explianed.
IF he has nothing to hide WHY won't he come to the front and be honest?
The bible talks about integrity of a man......
He has a LOT to explain about to all of america....you know....that country that he just DAMMED! Shame on him!
"TO CONDEMM/PUNISH"........THAT'S the definition of DAMN... so WHY ...WHY...WHY would anybody in their right mind want to DAMN the nation they live in?? It's like asking for trouble~!
Bottom line is........he needs to answer questions......not give excuses or dance around the truth..........back up what he says & be a MAN OF GOD........answer, say the truth......no more lies!

correct in his comment. Be the first Greta and your ratings
will soar.

2008-03-27 22:22:38 ET

The truth can be found in the full sermon. As a black christian who attends church regularly, the ministers have a text and a theme all of which was missing and left this audience to infer. Listen for yourselfs people, its just that simple, but this is America where we judge first and find out facts later. His sermon spoke of the laws that enslaved blacks and how it was writting in the executive branch and legisltative branch of government and he goes on to say how american looks at itself with pride to stand and sing "God Bless America" when in fact God condems "enslavement" and other acts of carnage done by americans (indians, a-bomb, VD experiments on blacks), so the opposite of "God Bless American is God Dam* America". Hopefully a light goes off for you but somehow I doubt it. I heard today even Hillary Clinton's minister (white) said WE all could learn from Rev. Wright and that's because he LISTENED TO ALL OF THE SERMON. If you just open up your prejudical minds maybe maybe we all can get along and work together for the good of MANKIND, not just America. AMEN.

Terry K
2008-03-27 22:22:38 ET

Greta,

It seemed to me that you gave a very clear invitation for the gentleman that you interviewed to state what he believed Rev. Wright was really communicating - that has been "taken out of context" - but he did not take advantage of the opportunity to do that. Since the primary complaint of those defending Rev. Wright is that his statements were taken out of context, why don't they just explain what it is that he was really saying? I haven't heard an explanation yet -- all I have heard is the repeated complaint that his statements were taken out of context -- and on it goes.

Eric
2008-03-27 22:22:38 ET

Greta I have to correct you. There is no such thing as "Reverse Racism." Racism is permeading this country and Rev. Wrights comments are inflamatory, racist comments directed at all euroamericans and other white people. It is a shame that it took so long for the news media to breach this subject and report the truth.

Simon

No useful purpose could come from witnessing a black racist obfuscate public opinion through the clever use of the socialistic propaganda that is the essence of Liberation Theology.

Ginny
2008-03-27 22:22:44 ET

Rev. (?) Wright seems to me to be a racist hate monger and frankly I don't want to hear anything else he has to say. His kind of rhetoric only results in creating a further devide between the races in this country. Obama's choice to choose him as his "Mentor" speaks volumes about what kind of person Obama really is.

Barbara
2008-03-27 22:22:44 ET

Please stop broadcasting so much about hate. Many people you have interviewed regarding Rev. Wright do not have the goal of bringing people together. Giving them media time to tell people to listen to the anti white, anti American preaching of this man is ridiculous. The black ministers are all saying the same thing Mr. Barack said in his speech. They are adding nothing of value and neither will this man who has established the fact that he hates white Americans lumping us all in a group. I believe that is prejudice. No one should give importance to it anymore than one should lend credence to KKK.

Brina P
2008-03-27 22:22:45 ET

Greta,
Can I say you are the most fair reporting news person I have ever come accross and because of you I turn on the news (your show) every night at ten o'clock. You ALWAYS give both sides a fair shake. How dare the friend of Rev. Wrights say your show is not reporting the facts entirely. You above any other reporter I feel always gives the accussed the chance to come on and set the record straight. I hope you are on for many years to come as I enjoy you and your show a great deal. A loyal viewer

2008-03-27 22:22:48 ET

Let all of America hear the full sermon. We will judge if Rev. Wright's comments were taken out of context.

I asked a black women friend of mine what she was taught as a young girl to believe about whites. Her statement was, "We were taught to fear you from the womb". She asked me the same question I had asked her but changed the race to black. I answered, " I was taught not to ever use the "N" word or they would cut me."

Their is much mistrust between the races and Obama is not the man to make the changes necessary.

kirk leitke
2008-03-27 22:22:50 ET

As a white American I resent being labled a racist simply for my skin tone. I coached a baseball team for sixteen years and had five black children starting out of nine, and at time was confronted for it by both white and black parents. African Americans should do what Martin Luther King said, and judge me by my character and not the color of my skin. If African Americans are going to use his words whe it is beneficial to their arguement then please do so when they judge white's.

Wendell Gunn
2008-03-27 22:22:51 ET

God damn (condemn) America in context: Wright means that sometimes, instead of "God bless America", one should say "God (condemn) damn America for the atrocities it has committed. This is hyperbole to make a point and a pararation, and not anti-Americanism. I love America with all of my heart, and would not have left the church when Wright spoke. I have not heard one sentence, taken in context, that is hateful, anti-America or racist.

Anthony Driver
2008-03-27 22:22:53 ET

Please further expose Wright for the racist he is...he is not a Reverend..nor should he be a mentor...I believe Obama and Michelle are both racists and intend to guide this country in that direction...anyone who subjects their own children to this type of so called religion for twenty years must also think and follow footsteps of leader...Obama is a fraud.

Scott C.

It would be a great opportunity to understand his "taken out of context" defense! I want to know if he can explain his position to a racially diverse audience.

Virgil Rogers
2008-03-27 22:22:53 ET

There is actually a law that prevents this type of rhetoric from taking place in churches that have tax free status and frnkly I don;t understand why this priviledge has not been taken away from this church. I have never heard any form of politics discussed from the pulpit in the churches that I have attended over the years but apparently this is acceptable behavior in Black churches. It is not only appalling but scary that the blacks feel this way about a country they are living in where their wildest dreams can come true if only they will work for it.

Melissa
2008-03-27 22:22:54 ET

I cannot say I would "enjoy" seeing the interview becasue of all of the horrble things Rev. Wright says, but I would like to be more informed of what he says so that I can better argue against these terrible, outlandish, and racist remarks. But, in order to tolorate watching this mean man, I think I will have to drink a beer or two. (Don't usually drink, but listening to someone like Rev Wright calls for at least a few drinks!) Heck, perhaps Obama spent his years going to the church drunk and that's why he cannot recall "hearing" any of the comments by Rev Wright. :-) Just kidding!

Stella
2008-03-27 22:22:56 ET

I would watch an interivew with Rev. Wright, or is he entitled to be called,
Reverand when GOD Preaches Good not evil words; God LOVES Everyone
and for a Preacher to be saying all that we heard if it's a 30 second sound bite
or a 30 minute speech; We heard what he said and there is nothing that can be said, such as it was taken out of context... It's a SHAME that not only we,
the Americans are watching & hearing all this fighting going on, but it's a
disgrace for the whole World to hear this bitter talk among Americans...

This is just unbelieveable...
My Prays to our Country!

Open Minded
2008-03-27 22:22:58 ET

Rev. Wright may enlighten us with his views. His contextual references to history as a basis for his views and words will not surprise anyone. I believe you will find that he is 99% "thus said the Lord" and 1% "fallen soul" just like the rest of us ... including you Greta. Thanks for at least being open to a dialogue versus a one sided media lynching.

By the way, Obama did not say what Rev. Wright said ... Hillary did say what she said about sniper fire in Bosnia and denied what whe wrote and said about NAFTA ... shift your fire to the real lier.

jeff
2008-03-27 22:23:03 ET

if obama isn't a racist, why not have him say so in front of his pastor? if hillary clinont had gone to a kkk rally then she would be branded and cast out.
what's the difference? obama should answer questions with rev. write by his side answering the same quesiton then we will know....

Wright would have nothing to say of interest to me. I've heard more than enough of his bitterness and disgust for anyone of any other color than his! No thanks, don't waste our time with an interview with him. Its Obama that needs to come forward and tell the truth for once and admit what he's been up to these past 20+ years. I heard when he was in college 'he seeked out his friends' and some of those choices weren't exactly ideal outstanding citizens, and Wright is one of those choices he's made to follow for his moral, religious, values way of life!

Ike Moradshahi

What is really fearful greta, is that from the interviews from other black pastors is that this is "normal" happenings in their churches across america.
If this is true, there will never be harmony between the races because the black leadership does not want it and is doing everything to keep the "race" issue boiling. Thank God not all black pastor preach this way and many black people don't want that kind of church.

Vinessia

No I would not like to see an extensive interview with Rev Wright because it doesn't matter what he says, the media will make sure that it is not fair and is bias, especially the Fox News Network. I think Rev Wright should be left alone so that he can retire in peace. He has done more good for this country and community than ANY media person who is unable to be objective. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say that I am ashamed to say that I am an American because of the media's hypocritical role in this situation. Obama's spiritual advisor IS NOT his political advisor!!!

There is absolutely nothing that either Wright or Obama can say to explain these vile sermons away. The "Rev" is a hater and a racist, and BHO is steeped in that very same hateful ideology. Please lets not give either of them anymore chances to excuse the inexcusable.

2008-03-27 22:23:45 ET

How could these preachers get up and agree that this kind of hate is in Black Churches. I will never believe it. I would like for these people to tell the truth. They are worse than Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson the worst haters of whites than anyone These people really make me ashamed of them.

Henry J
2008-03-27 22:23:54 ET

My understanding of Reverend Wright's comments is that America has done a number of things for which we should NOT be proud, that in many ways we have NOT behaved as a Christian nation, that we are complicit in world terrorism, etc., etc. And that therefore it can't and shouldn't always be stated as God bless America; Reverend Wright believes that with respect to some of America's actions it more accurately could/should be stated God damn America. So, yes, I believe the public would be better served if longer excepts of the speeches were broadcast, dissected and discussed. Honestly, though, I'm not sure I trust the Fox network to do a "fair and balanced" editing. Your bias is blatantly evident.

CERTAINLY we should have an opportunity to hear not only an extensive interview but Reverend Wright's speech in total.
To disquise the total comment by Reverend Wright with only a portion of his statements otherwise
defined "yellow journalism".
Jounalism is supposed to be neutral and objective
To show only a portion of "speech" is slanted and subjective,
only reflective of the media's shortcomings.

glenn
2008-03-27 22:24:33 ET

He will not agree because of one reason. He is guilty due to all the inflamatory unpatriotic statements in his sermons . He is caught red handed and has nothing but exuses for his anti-semic views like Feracan. He thinks that he can say what he wants all these years and can dodge the unveiling of who he really is now that he has been exposed nationaly. This will hurt Obama since he knows exactly who his preacher is and all the views he has been preaching to his congregation for over twenty years, (including Obama) who prayed dumb about it, but now has jumped on the band wagon of switching gears and saying that it is a race problem that still exists. He needs to listen to Bill Cosby. I challenge you at your new company to contact Mr. Cosby who is a wonderful and talented American. He will tell Obama and those who are taking up for Reverend Wright that they are dead wrong. They are going to lose the election if he is the nominee or vp, or should I say a majority of white people who were favoring Obama, now see who and what he really thinks deep down inside. Hillary was right, he was not being scrutinized or looked at , while she was. Most people dont know much about his deep down real thought, but 20 years of sitting and listening to Reverend Wright (actions) speak much louder than his quick talking retorick to save himself since he know he will say and do anything now to save himself. It will not work. He cannot regain his status now that he did not tell his pastor he is wrong. His judgement is not very good. I dont want a President who thinks like this.

Ben
2008-03-27 22:24:38 ET

I say "NO" to allowing that racist pig another opportunity to disrespect our wonderful country. Rev. Wright had his 15 minutes of fame and fortune and the chicken Sh&^ blew it! He is no more a Christian than the devil himself. Rev. Wright (Rev. Wrong) needs to take his congregation and leave this country. I am sure that being the coward he is that he has already fled the country.

You were giving him the chance to do exactly what he said was needed, but yet he refused to answer. That tells it all to me. He has no answer... so bring it on... and let us see Wright say more of his lies.

Bonnie Goldstein

I don't want to hear anymore from the Rev. Wright nor do I want to hear Louis Farrakkhan and now I don't even want to hear from Obama -
I wonder why no one has asked Obama if he would be inviting the Rev. Wright
to the Whitehouse. I keep picturing the Rev. Wright at the swearing in holding his anti-semetic bible & swearing in Barack. O Lord, save us from
4 to 8 years of the Black Experience by people who have had all the advantages life has to offer. (good Schools, familly ties - money for books that no one has even read (Monica Lewinsky all the clinton tomes and now
the 2 Obama books. ) At least we all know Hilary is a liar -- we know really nothing about Obama and his connections.

I have heard enough of this hateful, racist man. Obama can not say that he has not absorbed this man's teachings in the last twenty years. His wife and children have also learned these hateful things! Maybe they were watered down. I hope that children were not allowed in the main sanctuary while this type of hate speech was being uttered from the pulpit. As a former secretary of an Assembly of God church, we were both white, black, native indian in members. But we were Christians united in our faith and love for Christ. Rev, Wright is mostly Rev. Wrong!

Nancy

That a presidencial candiate is even associated with such a hatefull racist and that that canidate is still in the race is distubing. They've nominated a man whom said nothing of substance all the way through the primaries, they've nominated him on charm and now that he's just about locked into the race, we start to find out who he is. I yelled at the tv after hearing praise from the public for his long uplifting speeches, "He said nothing" and now here we are. I told you so.

2008-03-27 22:25:33 ET

This is a message I sent to Hannity and Colmes.

Sean,

I was able to listen to reverend Wright’s sermon on the radio that FOX has made such an issue of. I think FOX has done a great injustice to reverend Wright and Barak Oboma. The sound byte does not reflect the focus of the sermon at all. Sean, you of all people, being a good Catholic should be agreeing with reverend Wright. He is preaching on the immorality of America, which I totally agree with. I think FOX would be fair and balanced to direct viewers to a website where they could listen to the whole sermon or where the whole sermon could be watched. FOX has sewn division between the races with this issue by partially telling the story. By the way, I am a white conservative.

Sincerely,

Cecil C. Rhodes Jr.

There is NO reason to have him on. As we can plainly see, HE is already playing the "victim card" as he has cancelled all his speaking engagements because he is in FEAR for his life. Give me a break. My Father once told me, "show me YOUR friends and I'll tell you what kind of person YOU are." Obama came, we saw and now we know. Don't waste your time or OURS trying to get an explanation from Wright. It won't work.

I want OBAMA to be sitting next to him! It is a disgrace to America to have Obama running in this election when he has attended a church that hates Whites, Jews, Italians and the Government !! GOD HELP ANYONE WHO VOTES FOR HIM !!

As a person of color and a minister myself, I am DEEPLY disturbed by Rev. Wright's comments. As much as I feel that this man should NOT be given airtime to spread his racist attitudes, I think he should be interviewed in order to be exposed. There is no excuse for his racist rhetoric and his preaching (sadly) continues to keep the racial divide alive and well in this country.

Senator Obama is certainly between a rock and a hard place on this issue. He needs to not turn his back on the African American community, but at the same time, he SHOULD turn his back on this clearly racist person.

If the Reverend has nothing to hide, and certain people deem that his hateful words were taken out of context, then why not "clear his name" via an interview? These several sermon tirades ran for periods certainly long enough, without editing, to further prove he spews dangerous hatred. Americans are not idiots!

Cindy
2008-03-27 22:25:51 ET

I believe it is Mr. Wright, I will not call him Reverand as I do not believe that God would have a man like that speaking those words in his name, is the racist.

Does anyone care that the economy is shot to hell, there are people in Iraq that are dying in a war that should have never happened and that America is in possibly, the worse state it has been in in decades? Why is this so important. Senator Obama and Rev. Wright are two different people, and Sen. Obama cannot and should not be held responsible for the views of another. We have all been associated with people with views unlike our own. Let's get on with what this election is really about - who will be the candidate that will lead us to a more sound ecomony, better healthcare and will get our troops home to their family instead of fighting this sensless war.

Greta - Thank you for continuing to represent the majority of Americans who are appalled and deeply disturbed by the hateful and vicious words of Rev. Wright. This is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed fully. The close association and high regard that Obama has for this man for 20 years cannot be ignored. The fact that Obama may very well be the nominee for President of our country frightens me to the core because there is no excuse or explanation for his allegiance and loyalty to this pastor and his anti-American views and accusations about our country. I implore you to persevere as you maintain your high level of professionalism in your search for the truth. You do a great service to our country. Sincerely, Beverly

I am a white american woman. I have been going to church all my life, and I have NEVER EVER heard ANY of my pastors berate America, any particular race, or gender. Rev. Wrights comments ARE NOT normal and I am very interested in seeing how he will explain himself.....which is exactly why he has been in hiding this long, trying his best to come up with a decent explanation!
Politics has NO place in the pulpit, no matter your color or cause!

Alice R

I don't want to hear any more of his hate towards America and the white race.
Obama must agree with some of this if he sat there for 20 years.
If you do interview him, please ask him if he is now or ever was a member of the Black Muslims.

2008-03-27 22:26:10 ET

I cannot say I would "enjoy" seeing the interview becasue of all of the horrble things Rev. Wright says, but I would like to be more informed of what he says so that I can better argue against these terrible, outlandish, and racist remarks. But, in order to tolorate watching this mean man, I think I will have to drink a beer or two. (Don't usually drink, but listening to someone like Rev Wright calls for at least a few drinks!) Heck, perhaps Obama spent his years going to the church drunk and that's why he cannot recall "hearing" any of the comments by Rev Wright. :-) Just kidding!

The comments Rev. Wright made should never be made in a CHURCH. I feel the only reason he made those comments is for sensationalism and to get more money from his congregation. He knew they were inflamatory, controversial and that is his style. People of faith do not talk like that! Rev. Wright is not a uniter, but is a divider. His church does have a wonderful outreach program in the community, but its pastor has a serious problem.

Carol
2008-03-27 22:26:30 ET

Greta, I think that we should see more, for the fact then they cant say we only heard snippets. However, if the extended view is as bad as the snippets, then Rev. has some explaining to do. White people were to go around saying things like that in their church, Well, pardon the expression, but there would be hell to pay. There were more than 'African Americans that were in slavery. There were native Americans also, Some of my ancestors went through just as much. So I say lets give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't want someone running our country that believes these things or feels this way about other nationalities .

Shawn Tickle
2008-03-27 22:26:45 ET

I would love to see Rev. Wright try to contextualize "God Damn America." To contextualize the idea that white people invented aids to destroy black people in this country. To contextualize the idea that 911 was a understandable and justifiable response to American Foreign Policy choices. To contextualize the overt anti-Semitism of the Black church in America. I would love to see him defend this notion that white people just don't understand the "Black Church."

But, I do not care to see him continue to rant and rave like a lunatic, nor do I want to listen to him defend himself by yelling and screaming insults at the people who ask him the hard questions. I have already heard him do that and have no desire to hear him do so again.

And, God bless Greta for asking the hard questions and for actually looking the defenders in the eye and asking how do you "contextualize 'God Damn America.'"

God bless you Greta!

I watched Greta's show today and she did not get an answer from the last gentlemen when she asked what the Rev. Wright meant when he said "GD America". For a Minister is use the verbage in any content is very objectional to me and I'm sure any other Christian.

I really believe that with Rev. Wright's recent statment, even though they are just sound bits, that we are seeing reversed racial bigetry and that is a very scary situation.

Pat Perry
2008-03-27 22:27:10 ET

Please do not interview Wright. He should not have such a dignified forum such as yours to spew more of his vile views. White people and black people will never be able to meet on common ground as long as there are people like Wright who continue to feed hatred to young or susceptible minds.

I would like to see Reverend Wright explain the 30 seconds of comments I've heard while he is setting next to David Duke explaining his 30 seconds of comments I've heard. I would like someone try to explain thier relationship with either of the two men, whom are both prime examples of racism in this country.

Hillary is a untruthful super nagative swindling unexperienced kind of person that will do anything she can even, breaking the rules of the democratic party for which she says she cares so much about, she is a soar loser, someone who seems to think that the office of President of the USA belongs to her or is owed to her. I would respect Hillary better if she came back to realizing that the democratic process of elections is what this country was built on, and not
on someone trying to change the rules or play dirty politics to get there.

It is only fair that the entire sermon is played in its entirety rather than just a small portion. Although I ackowledge the understable shock and awe of hearing an american citizen state "GD" America, I cannot help but believe that not sharing the entire sermon does not allow individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision as to what message Reverend Wright's sermon was trying to convey. Once individuals are allowed to review the entire sermon, they will find that Reverend Wright's statement "GD" America was stated in a biblical contexts based on biblical beliefs, history, and dogma.

Informed Viewer
2008-03-27 22:27:25 ET

I voted to hear the reverend in the poll, but in reality, he is just another racist and anti-American fraud. I find it hard to believe Jesus would be in support of his hatred. Trent Lott was forced out for telling an off color joke while the reverend was taken out of context. Have the government schools actually dumbed down this country where this kind of stupid crap can be justified? Is the meaning of "is" really that complicated?

No wonder we are where we are as a country! If we are going to be in Wonderland, I want to hang out with Alice.

jUDY nEIDRICK
2008-03-27 22:27:27 ET

The guy you just interviewed who blamed the media, of course, did state one thing correctly...Wright has already said what he meant.To give him media time to explain his racist rantings is like interviewing Charles Manson to see what pain was in his little heart when he murdered those people. This is the explanation about Wright: OUT OF THE MOUTH, THE HEART SPEAKS. His race is african-american, but his heart is BLACK. He might be called reverend, but he is not a christian. Being a christian is more than in name only, but the scripture breaks it down for us: "You shall know them by their fruit". The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control.

Moriah Jordan
2008-03-27 22:27:37 ET

Rev. Wright does not deserve free air time to spread his anti American and racist views. We have seen enough of his "shining personality" and to see anymore of his anger and hate invoking messages would be an injustice to our heroic serviceman, the 9-11 survivors and the many unfortunate people suffering with AIDS. I, for one, am not so IGNORANT that I can't see HATE in the first few minutes of a persons verbal expressions, so I guess all this talk about Obama not knowing what his "mentors"views were after 20 years of being his friend, makes him not just ignorant, but really very stupid. And the last thing this country needs, is another stupid president!

Unless you're multiracial there's no way you're going to be able to "feel" the pain others do when they encounter racial bias. The only people that have an issue with what the reverend said are "white." Where are the hispanic and asians on this? They are on the side of the african american becuse they also "feel" the pain. This is real people, not a political issue.

I would be intrested to know( in his words,) how he really feels about america and the race of others in america, to get a feel of what senator oboma finds so captavating that he would spend 20 years attending his sermons and call him his spiritual mentor. If he thinks it was taken out of contex then put it into contex for us all

John W
2008-03-27 22:27:48 ET

I would love to hear this interview only if Mr. Wright is not allowed to "spin" the words I have heard him say on TV! I am white. There are black people who are welcomed and worship at the church I attend. We all worship as Americans and there is no need for the racists and treasonist words of a Wright!! Although my church is predominately white, these words would NEVER be used. I dare say that in predominately black churches, this would not be the case. Bigots transcend race!! It matters not whether Wright said these things once, twice, or all the time. ONCE is too many and not to be excused!!

"Love one another" is a phrase out of context, but I could tell the character of the source. Likewise, " I have a dream..." is another phrase out of context, but that person had a loving heart. "GD America" is a phrase that the source gets to view his own hateful words. It is what it is. If the previous 2 examples stand alone ... so does Reverend Wright's words.

I would like to see the extensive interview, although it wouldn't make a bit of difference to me what his statements are, he is a racist there's no doubt about that, and as far as I'm concerned senator Obama has heard these types of sermons many times from this reverend. This is an outrage, which makes me think the American people deserve an honest, dedicated non-racist President.
Frankly, this racist thing is only present because of people like that, I don't see color I see another human being. Everyone should. Love ya Greta keep up the good work! Thanks, Lucille

Greta,
It seems to me that the sound bites captured speak for themselves but I suppose the media clips of Mr. Wright (I struggle w/honoring him in reference as Rev until resolved) could have been taken out of context. Perhaps an interview is in order. If he resisists an interview, then again- I think this action would speak for itself as well. Is it possible to get & broadcast more of his controversial sermon to allow viewers to determine the validity of the claims that the short segments previously broadcast are taken out of context and that he actually is a non-racist, God-fearing, all-race-loving Christian Pastor as his supporters espouse? In any case- I appreciate you and the FOX folks doggin' this to help us determine the truth and true motivation behind our potential Presidential candidates agendas. Thanks a million!

Had this been a white pastor at church attended by Hilary Clinton making making similar comments toward America and other races, Al Sharpton and others would be calling for her to quit running for president. The excuse that comments were taken out of context would not be plausible. A double standard exists.

There is no space in church for this type of language! If he felt so strongly about his beliefs, he should have used another podium, not a place created to worship, a place where we bring our children. Both Obama and his wife should have left that church the same day they heard about this pastor’s antics and certainly after their children were born! How could they allow their children to experience this type of hatred? By attending this church they implicitly approved of it and told their children it was ok to hold that hatred for people of other races. I'm neither white nor black and have very seldom been treated different because of my race. This is indeed a great country! Shame on both Obama and his wife because they're well educated and should know better.

It is so very obvious by the hateful comments of your viewwes that common sense can not be compared to spiritual sense. By listening to that 10 second blit you have labeled a man of God as someone who does not love his country and because Obama was or is a member of his church he would share Pastor Wrights views. At least I know Obama attends a church! Try playing the entire sermon! Listen to the entire sermon then make judgement. Rev. Wright did not speak one word that was not the truth. The media has played this as negatively and in the most limited way. You should be ashamed of yourself to call yourselves journalist!!!!!

Greta - I think if there is nothing to hide and the horrible things we have seen the Reverend Jeremiah Wright spout in 30 seconds spots, the best way to address it and let the voting public decide is:: have the whole 30 MINUTE speech on television during family hours - 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. so there would be no reason for ALL the people to miss it and have Senator Obama and family and Senator Clinton and family sitting up front watching. I believe it would bring some honest discussion - both sides. I have not - yet - accepted Senator Obama's explanation of the speech.

Lavina Burgess
2008-03-27 22:29:52 ET

In my church, our minister didn't teach us to hate, but... only to love one another, no matter what race; black, white, or yellow. Reverend Wright should be ashamed of himself for preaching such hate. If America is so bad, why is it... that so many people are trying to come to as he says it... (GD) America?

Gail

The excuses I hear Sen. Obama and Rev. Wright use to blow this off are not convincing. I am really tired of seeing the racism card being played.

Greta, you were very gracious to the Reverends tonight. I can't wait to hear the whole sermon 'cause I'm of the opinion that those remarks cannot be taken out of context. I hope you reinterview these Reverends and have them stammer and stutter when it's apparent that it was NOT taken out of context. While it is possible that this shouldn't be a campaign issue; it is, however, an issue the American people should pursue.

R Barry

I agree that he needs no more air time. We know what he is by what he said and what he has written. How could it possible be "taken out of context". He is a bigot and it is fortunate that we have learned who Obama listens to. This is not the sort of person who can inspire. Obama has done damage to race relations in this country by attending this church and not speaking out on this outrage.

Joel
2008-03-27 22:29:59 ET

As an Army retiree and being a "white" person, I spent several occasions (Funerals) in all black churches throughout the south. I never heard the type of sermons or messages (at least the ones in mainstream media) preached by Wright. The people I met were some of the most god fearing, gracious, and compassionate people I ever met in one place. At the ripe young age of 49, I have seen racism around the world and around this country. It comes in many flavors by all colors. However, racism is (IMO) not a dominate thought in the majority. Yes, it and genderism are important issues and topics. Neither are as bad as they were when I was a child. I bet that 20 years from now they will not be what we see today either.

They won't get better by preaching hatred in any form.

It is unfair to only show the words that can inflame, it seems designed to hurt Senator Obama. There seems to be 3 videos with upsetting rhetoric, yet if the entire messages, or at least a greater portion of them were shown, one might conclude that the pastor is not at all unpatrioctic and perhaps not even wrong. Since he was a marine, it is very possible that he served in Vietnam. I hear a lot of draft dodgers and others who avoided Vietnam accusing him of unpatriotism. We had the experience of many priests doing bad things over very long periods of time unknown to their flocks.

SteveH
2008-03-27 22:30:08 ET

I am surprised to hear what Mr. Wright has to say in the pulpit. I can't imagine how this language would be used in any message about Christ's Love and compassion for ALL mankind. I have heard lots of fire and brimstone sermons and even in local black churches. However, this is abuse of the freedom of speech. I can't see much difference from what Mr. Wright said than what must be being preached in the radical muslim congregations. Mr. Wright's former church must approve of his style of preaching or he would have been set aside by the deacons long ago. I see so much rebellion in our youth that I would think our spiritual leaders would be preaching a much more tollerant message.
I can't see how this language and style would help the lives of anyone. But, there is a "righteous judge" before which we will all stand some day. At least according to Christian teachings!

P. Cartwright

Does Rev. Wright ever preach about God? Or does he always just spread hate. Just look at his mannerism that man is evil. I am immensely astounded that Christian's sit to listen to his opposing words against the word of God. It's disgraceful, it gives us Christians a bad name.

Donna
2008-03-27 22:30:17 ET

Hey Greta! Just to say, I just love your show, you're always very fair about issues. About Rev. Wright... Yes i would watch his interview and even more so, while i was watching your show this evening, i'd like to see the whole sermon given by Rev. Wright, where he GD's America, just because they keep saying 'sound bites'. I'll bet i still feel the same after listening to it all! Also, I've heard guests of yours and other Fox News shows, trying to give reason for this type of language and saying it goes on all the time. The only thing their telling me is that Barrack feels the same way they do and he doesn't like me or you. And he hates America! I'm still needing to see Barrack wear a lapel pin and put his hand on his heart as he says the Pledge Of Allegiance!! That may convience me... maybe!

How can that church maintain their tax free status with those kind of words being spoken in the pulpit? When our leaders are so intent on not allowing anything referring to God on government property....isn't this politickng mixing church and state?

Greta, I have heard guest after guest state that Reverend Wright's comments were taken out of context. Is there some reason FOX will not air his entire sermon of hate. I am sick to death of hearing it said over and again, "...he was taken out of context."

And by the way... God doesn't know race- he loves everyone- so why is race brought up in church? I'm glad that I have friends from all backgrounds and I'm glad that I grew up ignorant of racism. I always thought Racism was a social issue of the past- and as a "Caucasion" I have experienced Racism quite a bit. I will teach my children one day to have love for everyone as I do.

I voted for the interview but it should be conducted by a fair balance reporter or reporters. I am tired of watching and/or hearing preconceived interviews with an agenda in mind. I am very much interested as you are to hear the rationalization of so much hatred for this country (by the way I am a citizen by choice and not by accidental birth in this country which I love with all my heart and will die in it proud of my choice), and by the racism of Obama Pastor and guide for the last 20 years.

HELLO NO! Are we all not wanting to get over racism! This chap here is ignighting racism. His remarks are racist and full of bigotry. Pastors are supposed to create harmony and show the love of Christ. Wright shows hate and division. If a white pastor were to share these same commets would he be questioned for encouraging hate crimes.!!!!!! I don't understand why someone would even want to speak publicly like this. This stinks of reverse rasicm.

There are many issues during this campaign that are very derisive to the nation. But Rev. Wright's remarks, taken out of context or in one sermon were blasphemus even if they came from just one sermon. I know they are from different dates because he had different clothes on in each scene. But I repeat, just one of those statements, in text or out, are full of hate, venom, racism and blaspemus. Despite the cries of some of the Black ministers and their followers that America is still a racist nation, well you bet we are but i for one do not believe the white folks are the ones with the most issues with race. Great strides have been made in recent years in the race issue, the fact that Obama is running is one example.

The thing I have the most difficulty dealing with in the Wright-Obama issue is that just one of the "sermons" where Rev. Wright says GD America. There is no excuse, reason, or hope left for someone who would use God's pulpit to spew out such hatred. There is no explanation or reaon or hiding from the truth for Sen Obama to keep going to a church where such venom comes from the pulpit. And his 6 and 9 year old girls have no business learning that kind of language.

Be assured, Rev. Wright, America is going to be judged as a nation and at the rate we are going God just may treat us as he did Sodom and Gomorrah. But it will not be because of racial division, which we have too much of still, it will not be the laok of morals where living together before marriage is so prevalent, it will be because we have turned our backs on God by our actions and words.

I think there should be a panel of about 6 ministers of different faiths having a meeting of the minds, of course Rev. Wright shoud be there and pray a lot and see if somehow he can justify saying GD America. He was taking the Lord's name in vain, dear God what have we as a nation come to?

Frances
2008-03-27 22:31:26 ET

Rev Wright, from all the reviews I have seen on Fox, I feel he's perpetuating hate and division into the children of his church, friends, and anyone who will listen. Wright is not only a racist, he is inspiring hate for our country, the greatest in the world, America. Imagine 30 years of forming young lives into repression with the words of hate and lies hiding behind the cloak of religion.

Most of the children in his congregation of the day, would probably not hear the amount of hate and racist in each of their individual lifetimes as they have experienced to date in his words, no matter their age.

For Barack Obama to expose his daughters to Rev Wright is admission of
lack of personal character, racism and disrepect for his country.

Would the word Hate Monger fit Rev Wright? I think so.

Thank you

If this is indeed the feelings of the black race towards white people, we have a much larger problem at home than we do abroad!

I have heard more than enough of Rev. Wright. Why in the world would Fox be willing to provide a forum to allow this Facist to spew his hate to a worldwide audience. Rev. Wright & Obama are two liars whose chickens will definately come home to roost in the November general election. It is a sad day for Democrats when the best they have to offer is two Ivy League liars both of whom are non-electable. Obama should choose Rev. Wright as his Vice Presidential running mate.

Robert Ward
2008-03-27 22:32:08 ET

I think the message in its entirety would be necessary to see if what the media
is being unfair to Mr. Wright. I would like to make this decision for myself
without being misled by the media or anyone else. I feel that this would give every American who is concerned about this matter the chance to make up his own mind about his inflammatory remarks. This is simply a matter of getting the whole story to see for myself what his message is all about.

2008-03-27 22:32:21 ET

I found it amusing that the pundits and news broadcasters said that they needed to find out what dates the reverend gave these speeches, and if Obama was there on those dates...give me a break. This reverend married Obama and his wife, baptised his children, and he has been going to that church for 20 years. Obama knows the mindset of the reverend and is fully aware of what kind of beliefs, and what kind of person the reverend is. I believe this is a scary proposition that we could have a "white hater" as president , just as it would be if we had a "black hater". The president should be above that type of mindset. Thanks for your great show Greta! Deb

Wright is a typical example of reverse discrimination. I don't feel I owe anyone anything other than normal respect nor does the representative government of the USA. The people doing all the rabble rousing have never been slaves. I have never had slaves nor has my family. We were poor working folkes and farmers and anything we have acheived has been through hard work and the sweat of my family's collective brows. My children are not given the education opportunities at no cost that the blacks are afforded. I must use extreme care in any opinions that I voice should I be labeled as racist. Rev Wright is typical in his views as are most of the blacks you have interviewed. I feel this is a sad state of affairs and these opinions should not be allowed on th public airways. I am a veteran of twenty years of military service for the country I love and whose laws I abide by. If you have such strong fellings of hate as demonstrated by Rev Wright and many others I feel you should be invited to depart this land of the free.

I'm as baffled as you how any of Rev Wright's supporters can think that hearing any part of the sermon before or after "GD the US KKK of A" can put those words in any other context than "hate speak". I do thank you for giving them the opportunity to try. Insofar as their comments about "Fox News" it's been pretty clear the other cable news outlets simply think that not covering this story is in the best interest of the candidate they support. Please don't give up til we get an honest answer from Rev Wright or his protege Obama.

I personally believe their wires are crossed. THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR SUCH RETORIC COMING FROM A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. The pigpath of setting "the black church" apart as a seperate entity is repugnant sidestepping of the most nauseating
kind. Referring to it being the pastors church is probably an indication of the
depth of the problem with the organized church. Jesus said " I will build my church".

re:115 Tavia, this is the problem in america. I do not consider myself a racist, but race will always exist as long as black people live in the past. Yes, what the white people did to the black people years ago was WRONG. When I watched the movie Roots, I was astounded and ashamed for the way the black people were treated. We are living in a different world now, no matter what race we are, there are endless possibilities out there for everyone to prosper.

In all of the snippets that we have seen about this reverend, I have yet to hear him say one thing about hatred towards Whites.

Rev. Roger Thrasher
2008-03-27 22:33:32 ET

Neither Obama or Wright give an impression of upholding Christian values for this country. I cannot imagine a President of the United States who will not pledge allegiance to this country. No news media to this point has brought this aspect out about Obama. He makes me almost ashamed to call myself a native son from Illinois. I do not believe Wright needs to be intrviewed as his comments have sufficiently expressed his viewpoint as being a racist.

It has opened my eyes to the hatred that exists in the black community and I am concerned it will again result in violence. I cannot imagine this country being led my a member of such a church and can only hope voters understand the facts of this matter. I am grateful to you for not backing down and continuing to provide the information necessary for the truth to be known.

Rev. Wright's sermons remind me of the religious schools in Pakistan and other middle eastern countries. This is truly "hate speech" and most of us realize that and this "taken out of context" defense is just a smoke-screen. I would love for Rev. Wright or any of his defenders to explain HOW this is taken out of context. They won't because they can't ! Racism is truly being exposed where it lies....

Myron Cloyd is a joke. He is trying to blame the media for Wright's comments. Typical reaction when busted by blaming others instead of codemning the comments. I bet he would take the opposite role if a white person said something wrong. Cloyd needs to be educated that slavery ended in the US but it still exists in Africa. Get over it! Whites were slaves too! The word slave comes from slavic people forced in slavery to fight and die for another race! We are trying to be a better society, except some blacks don't want to put it to rest because that is the source or thier fame/power!

If Obama was a member of this belief that blacks should "GD America" then there is a big ISSUE!

Why would anyone want to hear any more of his nonsense? My pastor would NEVER say such things from the pulpit--in fact we are pentecostal, but he does NOT ever mention from the pulpit who to vote for, but he wants people to accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour. That is the cry of his heart, as well as of his congregation. He needs to read the 13th chapter of the Book of Corinthians. It is often called the "love chapter" and he seems to be missing this--and all the "good works" that is mentioned that his church will not get him into heaven. If anyone is racist, HE IS!!!

Jackie Miron
2008-03-27 22:34:32 ET

I'd love to see an interview with White (he doesn't deserves the title "Rev") Many Obama supporters say these things are "taken out of context"--but that is ludicrous. What about "GD America" and all the other horrific statements made by him about the government and white supremacy could be taken out of context?... White's statements however are not the issue here. We are aware that there are false prophets in this world and that we need to run from them. The real issue is Obama's judgement. If this isn't poor judgement on Obama's part, then it's a bunch of lies. So there's only one conclusion.... Obama is either not at all credible, or he has extremely poor judgement. Obviously, neither of these is a "quality" the majority of American people would like to see in a presidential nominee. He sat and listened to this rhetoric for 20 or so years--so he'll have to show much better judgement for the next 20 years before this will go away. He is not truely an American Patriot.

I just find it rather peculiar that most of these posts are filled with just as much hate and division as is accused of Rev. Wright. I have yet to here Fox News and all it's reporting staff atleast acknowledge that the Tuskeegee Experiment was comprised of injecting men of color with syphilis. Therefore it is plausible to consider that America would do the same with HIV AIDS. Even if it isn't true, atleast acknowledge the plausibility of the thought. And for those of you who choose to judge this man based on the media's spin and not look into it for yourself, shame on you as an American. I am not saying that I agree with everything that I have heard, but even the Bible says, as quoted by Sean Hannity himself, "Judge not, lest ye be judged". Look it up! That's scripture. Stop being so judgmental and atleast try to get an understanding even if you don't agree....especially if you consider yourself to be a Christian. What would Christ do? If you feel this man is in error, pray for him. But make sure you have taken the time to listen to all of these sermons in their entirety before you pass your judgment. Also, it did not surprise me that Greta did not take the time in her "Fair and Balanced" interview of Hillary Clinton about the fact that she told an outright lie of her Bosnian experience, yet Major Garrett interrogated Barack Obama with his questions about his church barely giving him time to respond. FOX News is far from Fair and Balanced. God bless you all and God bless America.

Sharon
2008-03-27 22:35:10 ET

Why is the media acting like they are so perfect. I go to church every sunday and some of the comments the preacher make I don't agree with. But I have to have enough wisdom to know if this man is trying to impose his thoughts or replace his own opinions with what the bible is saying. If you are a real student of the bible then you would know that Wright was speaking from a lot of his personal experiences especially about race and not where the bible speaks. Is the pulpit a place to express such strong opinions? No I don't think so. Should I leave the church if the preacher says something I disagree with? Only if he continues to teach what is not in the bible.

Billie
2008-03-27 22:35:17 ET

Out of context? Wright's words are plain and simple english....we in the US speak english...so what's not to understand.

I agree totally with Terri. White America is tired of being more or less blackmailed by the liberal media and the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. The elephant sitting in the living room of America for the last 30 years has been racism, but the only racist has been depicted as white against black. The only crime is white on black. I would like to hear an apology by the Rev. Wright to White America, but I don't think I will live that long. Obama may not be a Muslim, but he is affiliated with another radical group, and I just do not trust him.

2008-03-27 22:36:11 ET

It interesting that both obama and wright were in the islands. Would have been a good time for them to collaborate. Obama has been the one from out of the blue in fact, reference to the "anti christ" referenced in revelation. Check with some of the theolgy experts on referenced information (their Bible) and it being of a different format than the King James version or Living bible. Twenty years is too long to be in this brain washing doctrine. It is very evident obama sought this group out because of his not belonging to either the white or black group. Found it easier to seek out black race due to ability to gain fame versus just being another white. Also, where is his mother or grandmother he references. Has anyone ever interviewed them?

Keith Lance
2008-03-27 22:36:12 ET

In general, the media spends a great deal of time apologizing to the blacks for the discrimination they have endured. Now, the blacks are very critical of the media, in general, for its coverage of not-so-reverend Wright's reverse race tirades. Although it is their desire, they can't have it both ways. In a full interview the host could not counter Wright's venom. A radical will not answer questions.

2008-03-27 22:36:14 ET

Greta don't forget Dr Wrights sermons are on CD and DVD and they are sold and they are heard. His Books are in stores to be purchased. He is bound to have a following. Some black churches I have no doubt are a haven for
hate for America. There are just as many if not more that are more in keeping with the Christianity we know and understand. He wants a hyphenated Amerca full of hyphenated American's. That is a big mistake.

Rev. Wright does NOT owe anyone an explanation of what was said in his church. If parrishners aren't questioning it, who are you. From what I've heard, it sounds as if they audience was enjoying his message. This prolonged airplay of Rev. Wright has gone on too long. I think it's time to talk about other campaign issues because it is very clear that America is NOT ready to talk realistically about the issue of racism. And if you've never experienced it, you probably would do better not to comment on it because it's something you can't relate to.

On another note, I have been to Rev. Wright's church and he is a great leader sna doing outstanding work in the community in which his church is located.

2008-03-27 22:36:20 ET

There is absolutely no justification for the remarks Jeremiah Wright made about not singing "God Bless America" but God Damn America, God Damn America, God Dam America nor any remarks he made about the rich white people, the 9/11 or any other racial remarks this racist bigot made. My church teaches me not to use the "Lords" name in vain so I don't know what Bible this inhumane piece of garbage is reading or preaching from but it is not the St. James Version of our Bible. I think Barack Obama has completely ignored the horrible example this man has set and remains to set for his audience. I question Barack Obama's judgment; I do not appreciate his lying about his acquaintance with this so-called preacher and it appears he has more respect for this animal than he has for the people he is politicking to rule. We are in for a rude awakening if Obama is the nominee for the Democratic Party, but I will not vote for him if he does succeed.

I believe Rev. Wrights words were not taken out of context at all. I'm sure Obama also believes the same way as he does unless he didn't go to church very often. I'm appalled about a lot of the things Rev. Wrights friends or other Pasters are also saying. Christian lives they are not living at all, and have broken a lot of God's words.

Cheryl Greene
2008-03-27 22:37:34 ET

I believe the media continues to harp on this issue rather than real issues. Rev. Wright's sermon in its entirety states God damn American "if". Why isn't the "if told when playing this snippet. I'm so sadden by the sensationalism of this issue by the media. Furthermore, I don't think anyone can fully expand on the issue of race within America, because one person's attempt to do so offends many. We, as a nation, is so rooted in different experiences, perceptions, and bitterness whether America wants to admit it or not. Will the words of one man define the caliber of another, and does strong objections of this nation make us less of a nation. I pray not!

I believe the media continues to harp on this issue rather than real issues. Rev. Wright's sermon in its entirety states God damn American "if". Why isn't the "if told when playing this snippet. I'm so sadden by the sensationalism of this issue by the media. Furthermore, I don't think anyone can fully expand on the issue of race within America, because one person's attempt to do so offends many. We, as a nation, is so rooted in different experiences, perceptions, and bitterness whether America wants to admit it or not. Will the words of one man define the caliber of another, and does strong objections of this nation make us less of a nation. I pray not!

Wright’s sound bites started all this. Obama tried to take racial resentment to another level in his speech. Having worked in the black community in the 60’s and 80’s, I can follow Obama’s logic. I don’t agree with his conclusions. Obama has been taken out of context and the media has not treated his speech fairly; however, it is absurd for one to believe that over the span of his exposure to the teaching of Wright that he somehow missed it. Conservatives are missing the opportunity to challenge Obama on addressing racial issues in the 21st Century, and have succumbed to reaction to Wright’s rants. FOX, Hannity, Limbaugh, and of course Greta need to match Obama’s rhetoric on a higher level and not play into liberal hands by dignifying a discussion about Wright’s blatantly vicious words. Wright’s message would be “interesting” to hear in context, but it is not a news story anymore. Interviewing Wright only feeds racism!

Yes, context is important but I cannot imagine any "context" where you use the Lord's name in the way that Rev Wright did or does either in or out of Church. He is doing his Ministry nothing but harm by teaching Hate and Division between the Races & I do NOT want to hear anything else from him. There is no "Context" for the speech he has used in God's House. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to this issue.

Barak Obama spins truth like cotton candy. I do not believe his life and views have not been greatly affected by Wright. And I am appalled that people think his motives are pure. This is so very sad...a man who is actually being considered to run this country and he won't even wear an American flag pin or cut off his relationships with desperate, evil men. What is happening?

I would ask this "pastor", and I use that word lightly....how he interpets a few scriptures.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue."
"He who walks with integrit walks securely"
"Hatred stirs up strife"
These six thing the Lord hates, A heart that devises wicked plans, A fals witness who speaks lies."
I WOULD HAVE TO ASK BIBLICAL QUESTIONS....IF HE IS THE "PASTOR" HE CLAIMS TO BE HE WILL GIVE YOU HONEST/BIBLICAL ANSWERS!!!!!!
SEE WHERE HIS HEART REALLY IS. IF IT'S TRULY IN THE RIGHT PLACE HE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM.......NONE.....IN ANSWERING THESE QUESTIOINS!
IF HE STATS TO PLACE BLAME..............YOU HAVE THE ANSWER.....THE TRUTH AND BASIS OF WHAT HE REALLY IS ALL ABOUT.
ASK HIM BIBLICAL QUESTIONS.......AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!
He gives good Christian pastors who are called of God.....a bad name.
This is one reason why most people hate Christians and churches.......because of him, good, honest Christians who serve God are given a bad name!
God is watching him anyway, and someday HE WILL STAND BEFORE GOD TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT. I SURE HOPE I'M THERE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF "TRUTHS" HE SCRAMBLES FOR THEN!!

Try to find the About Us page on the website of Rev Wrights church! It's no longer the way it used to be before all of this. Rev Wright doesn't have a relationship with God at all and absolutely no understanding of the Word of God!!! We really need to pray for him. He would never say those things whether in or out of context if he truly was a man of God, a LOVING God who has blessed America! You can't talk so hateful of those you pray for. We are suppose to pray for our government! Love NOT hate!

Dona M
2008-03-27 22:39:46 ET

It is so very obvious by the hateful comments of your viewers that common sense can not be compared to spiritual sense. By listening to that 10 second blit you have labeled a man of God as someone who does not love his country and because Obama was or is a member of his church he would share Pastor Wrights views. At least I know Obama attends a church! Try playing the entire sermon! Listen to the entire sermon then make judgement. Rev. Wright did not speak one word that was not the truth. The media has played this as negatively and in the most limited way. You should be ashamed of yourself to call yourselves journalist!!!!! I dont know what passages Rev. Wright referenced but study Psalm 137......

George Cook
2008-03-27 22:39:47 ET

Greta, The Rev. from Houston just now asked that you run the full sermon to put it "in context". You asked him three times to "put it in context" for you and us and he would not. He would not even try.

The fact is, Rev. Wright is a Black Liberationist. Google it to find out all about it. He and his church are Black Liberationist- they believe and teach exactly what Rev. Wright says in "the sound bites". Anyone who attends that church for 20 years has to be a believer in BLT teachings as does his wife and his children are being indoctrinated in it. If you go to a Catholic church for 20 years, what are the chances that you are not Catholic? The same with Judism or Baptist. There is no way the Obamas are not full believers in Black Liberation Theology. We all heard it from his wife-"never before proud of America".

BLT is Marxist, Socialistic and Communistic in its teaching and calls for redistribution of wealth and power as the only solution to the horrible racism that is America today.

As I hear many Blacks defend Rev. Wright, is it possible that most Blacks believe this way? Is this taught in most Black churchs?

I think what the Blacks being interviewed are saying (but they won't actually say it) is that Whites think racism is a much improved and a minor problem in America in 2008, but it is not at all improved and the Blacks are as oppressed as ever and it will take revolution for Blacks to gain equality.

That is why Farracan receives a Lifetime Achievement Award from Rev. Wright and his church.

White America finds this shocking.

Please Google BLT and connect the dots for yourself.

In one sentence: Barrack Hussein Obama - and his Pastor who preaches GD America - what more do the American people need to know? This is a credibility issue but more importantly, a National Security issue and should not be taken lightly. I would like to know just how much money he has given to that church - his tax info is out - someone needs to check to see how much he paid to finance Wright's trip to Lybia to see Kadafi.

For all those who say Rev. Wright hates his country, why then did he serve honorably in the military and why was he commended for his help when he assisted with an ex-president during surgery? Yeah, that really sounds like someone who hates his country... sure. You keep deluding yourselves just because you disagree with a few things the man has said. The comments I've read here are sickening and not very Christ-like at all. The only one who has something to be ashamed of is you, not the Reverend. You're sliming the man and his entire life's work with glee all because he said something in his own church that you disagree with. Imagine if you heard the thoughts of millions of Americans out there... your brains would explode with the faux-outrage.

This is a page I copied from the website:http://www.tucc.org/about.htm. I got that by following a link from another article on the Black Value System after reading that Obama had to pledge his allegiance to this when he became a member of the Trinity Church!! I also have found that the Black Value System has "disappeared" from the Trinity website recently, (during Obama's campaign--when the trouble started about this controversy). I just wanted you, Greta, to see this and make of it what you will. Notice the 4th principle that Obama swore allegiance to:

United Church of Christ Statement of Faith in the form of a doxology

We believe in you, O God, Eternal Spirit, God of our Savior Jesus Christ and our God, and to your deeds we testify: You call the worlds into being, create persons in your own image,and set before each one the ways of life and death. You seek in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin. You judge people and nations by your righteous will declared through prophets and apostles. In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Savior, you have come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to yourself. You bestow upon us your Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races. You call us into your church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be your servants in the service of others, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil,to share in Christ's baptism and eat at his table, to join him in his passion and victory. You promise to all who trust you forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, your presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in your realm which has no end. Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto you. Amen.

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

A congregation committed to ADORATION.
A congregation preaching SALVATION.
A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

I'll never vote for Obama no matter what happens!! I think this country will be in for a great shock and a downfall like we've never imagined. I would never want Michelle Obama to be our First Lady either considering her views and previous papers written in college. Thanks for the great comments form PJ of the Sunshine State. I am also a disenfranchised voter in the Sunshine State and as such will only vote for Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee, otherwise I am voting for McCain to vote AGAINST Obama!!!!!!!!!!! I hope others will do the same!

How ironic that Obama has opened up the existing reverse discrimination that many whites have struggled to deal with for years. Has Obama forgotten that his Harvard Degree along with his wife`s degree & all the privledge that has been theirs, was provided by many typical whites, who didn`t have the same offered to them ? Does he and his wife not understand that their opportunities were provided by those who fought and died in the Civil War, wars being fought,and possibly wars in the future? If they don`t ,then all those typical whites that helped provide his education, those that gave their lives in wars to improve or maintain justice for all people has been in vain. How very disappointing! The mills of the gods are really working overtime!

Even the Mafia gave large donations to charity and did some good works!

Let's cut all the "dancing" out...Any thinking person knows the liberal media doesn't give a darn about fair & balanced reporting. Read # 15, terri & # 16, drew's comments who took every word out of my mouth. The Obama's of the world used this particular church as a front to get his black voters to cover his back since he could never pull off this without them. That took place long ago during his 'planning' years at this presidency. My wonder at all this racist agenda of the news media is this...no one EVER covers the fact that their are Black Racists and have been forever. So enough with all this white racists comments all the darn day long. Call if like it is for a change. Obama used his Black church constiuents to further his goal. Sort of like what Farakan did with his groopies...I'm so sick & tired of no one speaking the truth anymore. This P.C. nonsense within the Democratic party is just starting to show their true colors which is use the middleclass to pit them against themselves to further THEIR own agenda & just SCREW us no matter what the cost....& I mean us...the United States of America. Some 'lazy thinkers' in our population will follow any words that fit their minds for that time...just to FEEL GOOD. Some of us know there is a bigger picture & following the Dems will just bring us all under. Mark my words. They aren't the old democrats of yesteryear....they fell by the wayside long, long ago. What you have now are the Socialists/Marxists of the future if you vote them in. Might as well bend over & kiss your rear ends adios.

Newt was absolutely right when he said the Rev. Wright wasn't saying anything different than what college students hear all the time in classrooms from their leftist, America-hating professors. I have difficulty believing that Obama is anything but the same. He's just being packaged differently, much like the smelly, long-haired radicals back in the late '60s who did their damage and then traded in their shoddiness and Che attire for a haircut and business suit. Obama needs to be exposed, and pressuring Wright may be a means to that end.

It is total BS for Obama to say he didn't know his pastor felt the way he does. I sat under my pastor for 9 years and there were some things I disagreed with him about but if he felt as strongly as Obama's reverend about some things...I would have left that church by now. You don't sit under someone for YEARS and not know how they feel about most big issues. Poor dems...you guys don't have much of a choice to vote for this year do you??

As a White Christian American who has Italian heritage, I find both rev Wright totally racist towards all but blacks and Obama is totally in aggreement with his views and disgusting so called sermons of Hate! In no way do I think the wright guy would be anymore honest than Obama has been as they have one objective, that is to have Obama as president of the country they damn. Wright is hiding to let his views die down only for Obama at his request to lay low, and look America it is working. They are snowballing us!!! Do not elect nor trust Barrack Obama, let him go back to his uncle.

Gary

Obama is trying to play both sides of the the racial concepts. Non-vilonet passive MLK style vs the agressive confrontional style of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ala African Liberation Theology of preacher Wright. What everyone thought they were hearing was MLK style coming from Obama, but now we don't have a real clue where his JUDGEMENT will ultimately fall when he might get into the oval office. For me that just can not now happen.

Jim
2008-03-27 22:42:00 ET

Rev. Wright's anti patriotic, racist hatred wouldn't be tolerated if he was white...No one would be making excuses for him...or say he had a legitimate point of view! More information about Black Liberation Theology needs to be stated first, then the interview with the Rev...I would like to see Obama & Wright both on camera during the interview. Obama has such a close relationship with the pastor that he regards him as a 'mentor' an 'uncle'...he was definitely influenced by this pastor over a 20 yr. time period. We should know the character of anyone running for President. It should not be swept under the rug, too much is at stake for the entire country. Rev. Wright is a reflection of Obama's values, otherwise he would have run not walked out of that church 20 yrs. ago! If Obama & Rev. Wright were white there wouldn't be a need to justify or clarify the anti-patriotic, racist beliefs we feel he speaks or the seriousness of our concern for a sitting President associating with and holding close people of this ilk...it would be obvious he was antiamerican racist bigot!

Louise Wilson
2008-03-27 22:42:01 ET

No more of Wright! I've been a bible reader all of 60 years.....there is no context to which his words could be used. HIV being invented as genocide to kill blacks?? I think not! God damn America....not once but repeatedly? Hhowever, the bible is very explicit about how a pastor (shepherd of his flock) is to lead and believe me it's not how he does it. He preys on his black congregation, inciting them to hate whites and the United States. I care not to hear further from this man. The bible does mention his kind of minister and it is called "flase prophet." He will be called to account by someone far greater than us! Barack Obama has spent 20 years absorbing this man's teaching and he cannot have us believe he did not. He is not fit to become the President of the United States! It would be the worst possible choice probably in our countries history!

Ed
2008-03-27 22:42:20 ET

I believe that Obama should be held accountable however, I fully understand Rev. Wright's comments. Many in this country may not know that it is a documented fact that the United States government experimented with the syphillis virus only on African American males. so Rev. Wright comments about Aids being directed to minority communities is not that inplausible.
Also the United States attacks on other countries and nations while done in the name of freedom have left many people around the world mutated, disfigured and genetically marred for the next 200 years, so when Wright talks about"chickens coming home to roost" there is an element of truth in these comments. There is absolutely no doubt that "shock jocks" such as Rush and Sean and Bill O'rielly are playing the race card in reverse. The goal is to have particulary White America becime so infuriated by these 15 second sound bytes that the obvious option will be to DAH will vote for John McCain.

I would be more inclined to agree with comments expoused by a media outlet that had"no dog in the race" meaning you bring "fair and balanced information"
from a neutral perspective.

I would submit Rev Wrights words are harsh and divisive yet true. However it is so plain to see that the conservative movement is molding and shaping this to create an air of racial division in a much more offensive subliminal manner.

Rush Limbaugh whom refers to himself as GOD is the main character in this plot. Let us not forget Rush is an addict in recovery this is a reality not a smear. He is an addict with X amount of days since the last drug high.

We are a nation with a very short memory. Rush says I am not ever going to talk about my addiction and we accept that. Bill O'Rielly the same thing I refuse to ever discuss my "failure of judgement" and we accept. Dick Morris
the same thing Fox brings him on to talk about the Clintons as some sort of expert. yet we do not consider the fact that Bill Clinton threw Morris under the bus and did not defend him through his "failure in judgement" period so does one think the comments we listen to from him are going to be kind? so let us look at the total picture and those that are trying to orchestrate these acts for their own gain. they are playing us like puppets playing to our fears and our emotions. Fox is definitely not running this campaign because they love their audience and want us to be well informed.
Does racism and bigotry exist you better believe it however as Obama has stated we can use this election to MAYBE begin to stem the tide.
God Bless us all.

2008-03-27 22:42:34 ET

It would be interesting to see Wright and Obama together trying to justify and explain the "sermons". The problem would still be a judgement call, are they telling the truth or will they think they are talking to ignorant, white, Americans that wouldn't know any better? I cannot believe that Obama thinks that "us dumb white Americans" believe that he did not know what was going on! If that is the case, he would probably sleep or whatever through that 3:00 call.

So enough with all this white racists comments all the darn day long. Call if like it is for a change. Obama used his Black church constiuents to further his goal. Sort of like what Farakan did with his groopies...I'm so sick & tired of no one speaking the truth anymore. This P.C. nonsense within the Democratic party is just starting to show their true colors which is use the middleclass to pit them against themselves to further THEIR own agenda & just SCREW us no matter what the cost....& I mean us...the United States of America. Some 'lazy thinkers' in our population will follow any words that fit their minds for that time...just to FEEL GOOD. Some of us know there is a bigger picture & following the Dems will just bring us all under. Mark my words. They aren't the old democrats of yesteryear....they fell by the wayside long, long ago. What you have now are the Socialists/Marxists of the future if you vote them in. Might as well bend over & kiss your rear ends adios.

To think Obama agrees with all the comments made by Rev Wright he would have to hate the other side of himself. Don't forget he is half black and half white. I don't belived it is possible to hate yourself.

Why are Black Leaders saying that Fox News is taking what Rev. Wright said out of Context? Can someone tell me when someone says "God Damn America" in any sentence, what other context could it be taken?

Lucy
2008-03-27 22:43:33 ET

Why give him more chances to spin his words. They are, what they are. He is a racist and obviously anti-American. People who sit in his congregation undoubtedly have the same beliefs and opinions, or they would not be there. Knowing about Obama being a follower for 20 years, gives me great cause for concern about his motives.

Joan
2008-03-27 22:43:43 ET

I could care less what he says. He is a racist. If I would say that about black people I would have to go to court then go do community service. And that Obama wants to be President? He sits in church and listens to that crap and wants us to believe he doesn't feel the same as the preacher?

Barbara
2008-03-27 22:43:50 ET

this is continued from the previous posting as I ran out of characters allotted!

Since Obama has already pledged his allegiance to the Black Value System embraced by Trinity United Church, as referenced earlier today on this site, I can see why he has such a problem with pledging his allegiance to this country now!! He can't pledge his allegiance to Africa 1st and then pledge allegiance to the USA because it suits his political purpose at this time. How would that look??? I guess Michelle Obama has also pledged her allegiance to the Black Value System of the Trinity United Church and its 10 pts.: #4 stating that she has pledged her allegiance to Africa and further down to African-American Education!

I would also like to know where Rev. Wright has been and if he has been with the Obama family on the family vacation instead of giving his scheduled speeches;
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?? This issue should be the end of Obama as it impunes his character greatly!

When there is a claim that something is "taken out of contex" there then usually follows the argument that puts it in its proper context. No one who claims "this has been taken out of context" has even tried to puth forth a plausable arguement for their case. This is because they have no answer. The context is one of hatred. Come on people! Its not like Fox News is edeting these clips and making him say something that he's not. Its sad that some people can't call a spade a spade and just admit that he's wrong. Maybe Don Imus was taken out of context.

Reginald
2008-03-27 22:43:56 ET

I am concerned that either Obama adheres, at least to some extent, to Rev. Wright's views, or that Obama disagrees with Rev. Wright and was unable to make a supposedly difficult decision to leave his "uncle". Either option is an indicator that Obama is a poor candidate for President.

I just dont understand how obama been goin to this church for 20 years and he claim he dont really know himor seen him but now he is running for president which i hope he wins, he has alot of negative stuff to say. Also he suppose to be so CHRISTIAN he shouldnt be using foul language or talking negative about ANYWAY for that matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of all I have heard said about Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright's . I have not heard anyone say anything about this preacher breaking the third Commandment,....THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'......I looked it up on the internet and it says GD is taking God's name in vain.So here you have a preacher breaking one of the 10 Commandments in front of his congregation.. What kind of preacher does that.No wonder he retired..

My mind is boggled by this entire situation. Face it, Greta, a white candidate with a white preacher in this situation would not only be out of the race but a castout in the beltway to boot! Classic example of the ongoing acceptane and embracement of reverse racism. Bring him on PLEASE, because this racist, egomaniacal zealot will be incapable of stopping himself from spewing his venom. Let the American people see another example and maybe, just maybe, some will see the light. Make sure you have a few "garlicy italians" on the set to get him going!

2008-03-27 22:44:44 ET

I think a tough but fair interview of Rev Wright is needed. I think it way past time that America hold accountable the race hustlers that hide behind a pulpit and deal with their selfserving hateful and devisive racial rhetoric that has been ignored if not supported by the media for years. The intervew Greta just had with the "friend" of Rev Wright was just a puff piece that rates up there with ET (nauseating). Unfortunately I can't think of single person of color that would be objective enough or a white reporter that has the backbone to ask the hard questions.

A. Wines
2008-03-27 22:44:45 ET

Yes I would like to see one of Rev. Wright's entire messages from his church..just so everyone else can see that nothing was taken out of context.
I believe Rev. Wright has always preached racism against whites..and I believe Oboma knew about it all these 20 years...that makes him a co- conspirator..especially since he contributed money all those years to the church.. which also paid Rev. Wright's salary.

Stan
2008-03-27 22:44:55 ET

I think that everyone should read Pat Buchanans rebuttal to Obama's reasoning. It was in last Saturday or Sandays Ocala Star newspaper. It was the only time I ever agreed with Buchanan. He hit the nail on the head. Wish I saved the article.

2008-03-27 22:45:04 ET

Greta, why is Wright continuing to be called "Reverend" by the media? There is nothing to be revered about an individual as hateful as this man. And why isn't his Christianity called into question? He is a terrible advertisement for his so-called faith.

Jeff

Anybody who can go to the same church year after year to listen to his garbage preachings, must have the same feelings as the reverend. Why else would he go there with his wife who is not exactly a praud American.
Obama is a lawyer and a great speaker, so was Hitler, Mussolini and Lenin. People were following them and what happened to the world under them.
I can't believe that people are even voting for this man.
I want to see a white person to go to the curch and listen year after year that how evil the black people are, he would be called a racist.

2008-03-27 22:45:28 ET

Do Obama and Rev. Wright think we really believe their line of bull? How can Obama ever in his right mind think he will be elected president when his spiritual advisor for decades says the US be damned!!! How stupid do they both think we (whites") are? If you had told me two years ago that a Republican had a better chance of winning the 2008 election, I would have said you were nuts. Between Hilliary's "mis-statement" about her Bosnia trip and all the bickering between the Democrats, they have just handled the election over to McCain.

2008-03-27 22:45:52 ET

Greta, - My wife is a Republican and likes you; and, I'm a Democrat and like you too! My comment is, I hope the Democratic Party wakes up before it is too late and realizes that conservative Democrats and Independents are prepared to vote for McCain should Barack Obama be the Democratic nominee. I'm a church-going Christian and can tell you that it only takes a few sermons over the course of a couple months to know what your pastor believes about most topics. So, to folks like me (@ 20 % of Democrats), Senator Obama has a very serious believability problem! Keep up the good work. Harold in Bakersfield

Presenting the unedited film version taken during service, when derogatory comments were made by Rev, Wright, will help Americans to fully understand Barak Obama's make up and decide if he can be trusted to be our president?

Fox News needs to show that news being presented are neutral and factual.

Sidney
2008-03-27 22:46:05 ET

I can tell by reading a lot of the comments and listening to you Greta, that most of you (including you Greta) don't have pastors at all, not to mention a 20 year relationship. Your obvious hate for any Democrat or Liberal minded person is what should be reviewed on air. Name your church and pastor and let the world take a look at how perfect he or she is.

Lee
2008-03-27 22:46:11 ET

Its hard to write the letters R E V in front of Wright...not my definition of a Rev. however, an interview would be interesting. The more he and Obama speak the more their negitive feelings and opinions toward America are displayed. I'm betting he'll never give you an interview. Love the show and your disposition as a journalist.

It is very strange how america can exploit African-American through violence in the negative media coverage, but we want to slander a person based on an incomplete sermon that has been broadcast. I would not like to see this man be slandered, because the truth will not be allowed to be revealed. The truth is racism is alive and well in America. If your not the culture experiencing the racism how can you understand what he is saying. After hearing the whole speech I did not her one comment about hatred. Get the story straight. Be fair6763

Lucinda

I for one am tired of hearing the whole thing. So many other things are going on in this world to talk about. Any man who uses God's name in vain does not need to have everyone talking about him all the time. He can use God's name in vain but your net work beeps out nigger and continues to use God's name in vain over and over and over again. It would be great if you could beep that out also. Rev Wright is a racist jerk and Obama is one for sitting in the pew for 20 years listening to him. Do you think that doesn't get instilled in ones mind?

Jane Phillips
2008-03-27 22:46:38 ET

I would like for someone to explain to me why Obama chose to deliver his speech in addressing the issue of Rev. Wright's "GD America" as a race issue??? To me, this is not related to race; rather hatred to America. I have never heard of any preacher of any race using such language & subject of this nature!!!! God forbid that we could have anyone as such leading our country.

Jay
2008-03-27 22:47:36 ET

I don't know how you can possibly believe that Obama was not aware of what was said in that church by pastor Wrigt, unless he comes up with yet another story like he was asleep in the pew while Wright ranted. His supporters likes to say that the clips on TV are from two or three sermons ect... however I noticed at least seven different robes that he wore in these clips, does he change robes multiple times during sermons?? Lets just tell it like it is... If this was a "white" church saying these things the NAACP, Jessie Jackson, and AL Sharpton would have the doors boarded up before they could pass the plates on the next Sunday morning, however since this is a "black" church we are all told we just don't understand. I can honestly say that if my current pastor did something like this I would make it known I was not happy and that I would not be back. If he can't tell the truth on this issue how can we believe anything else he says much less being the leader of this country.

No way would I care to hear another word of what sounds like a racist, anti-american has to say. Think about it people ,Obama did not have his hand over heart during pledge, his wife made her comments about america being mean, and she was proud for the first time of her country,yes their pastor(questionable with such hate) has instilled a negative view of white people and america in his congregation. I am shocked to find that such hate is still there, it sounds a lot like the radical muslims. God bless America!!!!

The Black American experience is different than every other ethnic group in America. Our government enacted laws that striped us of our rights. In the last 15 years in New York GlaxoSmithKline used black children in foster care with HIV to experiement with drug treatments without informed consent. There is the Tuskegee Syphilis study that denied medication to African Americans. There is a history of government abuse of rights that continue today. There are harsher and longer sentences for African Americans vs Whites for the sames crimes. There are current studies that show if all variables are equal except for race if you are black and seek medical care you receive unequal treatment vs that received by whites. The members of the black community are not surprised by these findings because we live with the knowledge that living in the USA means living with unequal treatment. I travel and refuse to stop to eat in many small cities because I am always afraid someone will do something to my car or to my food. Two years ago I was with a group of 3 peers and we stopped at a store. My peers went into the shop a head of me. We all needed to use the restroom. When I went in I was told the restroom was outside near the gas pumps. I went to this restroom and it was FILTHY, I couldn't use it!! I went in to the stop to discover that the other 2 white women I was with were allowed to use the nice restroom within the store. The store clerk did not know we were all traveling together. I am only 44. This is the American experience that we live. There is a "privelege" that comes with being white. You don't know it because it is your normal state of understanding. African Americans don't go out looking for racist behavior but when it occurs we are rightfully indignant but not surprised. Dr. Wright is an exceptional biblical scholar. I have heard him preach in Columbus, Ohio and he communicates this knowledge well. However, he like many of any race can get caught up in the emotions of life. Even within the writings in the bible there are harsh words that are written. Good people are caught making decisions and statements and God doesn't turn his back on them. I have said things to my husband in the heat of an argument that I don't want to have replayed for the world to comment on. I think we are very narrow minded to impose upon Barack Obama a higher responsibility for his pastor than the USA is imposing on President George Bush. He should be impeached for all of the lying and criminal acitiviy that he is done. Where is the apology for Slavery that our government still has not given African Americans? They gave an apology to the Japanese along with a check for $20,000. Over a hundred years of slave labor....Jim Crow....Lynching.....Separate and Unequal schools....Housing Deeds that don't allow blacks to purchase property....Unequal jail terms......Unequal access to health treatments............Tuskeege Syphilis experiment............HIV GSK experiment ..............When these questions are answered and an apology with reparations are made then I will say to America I am Proud that you stood up and finally made right all of the Millions of wrongs that have been done to my people, my family, my ancestors.....but I will not give you my children. This is the test for this generation.

Greta: Rev. Wright is not a pastor of God but Satan. He is a Blasphemist of m Lord. He delivers messages of hate at the pulpit. He has no business in the church. The church has become a haven for black meetings to deliver messages of hate against whites. People like Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Jeremiah Wright are not messagers of God but Satan and hide behind the cloth of Jesus. SHAME ON THEM! Alice Walker-Greenwood, Ms.

Shawn Johnson
2008-03-27 22:48:19 ET

I live in the Chicagoland Suburbs and have know people who attend his church. Wright is a man who has a Phd, speaks several languages, served in our U.S. military as a Marine, and has done countless things in the Chicago area community. He serves to educate, enlighten and inspire. If after over 30 years of service to his church and his community these questionalble few statements stirke this much fear in the minds of so many Americans, we have a lot of work to do. Sometimes the so called pride in our country does not allow us to see that this country has not been perfect. In my opinion Rev. Wright is only calling attention to the ills that America ignores on a daily basis for communities like his and many others. For all of you who do not want to hear anything about why he said what he did, you are chosing to live in a state of ignorance. I don't totally agree with exactly everything he said, or the way he said it, but people should try to listen with a more objective ear. We all have people who speak more candidly or straight forward than we mihgt, but the relationship we have with them allows us to look past the way they may come accross to others, they would probably hear something important. Then go ask someone of color how they feel about it and start some real dialogue. Stop being affraid to acknowledge some ugly truths. Stop just criticising what you think he was saying and find out what this man has done. Actions do speak louder than words. I find it interesting that there is all this talk about Rev. Wright and his inflamatory sttements as a black pastor but if someone would take a look and google an article by Frank Schaeffer, who speaks about his father making the same or worse claims as a republican pastor and being a hero??? It begs some questioning. SJ

Susie
2008-03-27 22:48:31 ET

I would like to have Rev. Wright explain how his remarks could not be taken as racist remarks, and why he thinks white people owe black people, and why reverse racism seem to be ok with him. The people today are not responsible for what happened 100,200,300 or more years ago, and should not be asked to pay with racism towards them. When they talk about slavery they never tell the whole truth as to who started it, who took took them out of Africa, where all slaves were sent to, other countries besides America, and that not all African-Americans are not relatd to American Slaves. If Rev. Wright wants racism to stop start with our children, don't preach hate, racism to them, so why does he?

Carolyn Cline
2008-03-27 22:48:34 ET

I have heard enough from Reverend Wright,. I am not interested in hearing another word from him. The man is a crackpot.

He is off the rails and none of us has an obligation to listen to his ravings and try and figure out what supposed point he has.

2008-03-27 22:48:56 ET

Yea, I think I'd like to have him interviewed. But not by someone who would give him softball questions like you, Greta, give the Clintons when you have them on your show. Since you and they are personal buddies, when you have them on, it's like a half-hour ad for Hillary. Don't deny it. You know it's true. But I digress .... I really respect the way you question people on your show. Your attroney background shows through when you try to get to the bottom of issues. (It's just when you question the Clintons... Or rather when you DON'T question them that you fall short.)

As far as the "REV" Wright ... I suppose finding out what relationship he thinks he has had with Obama would be interesting IF he is truthful. Maybe you could pry it out of him?

I could not believe that any ordained minister, whether Pastor to a black or white church, would use such words and project such thoughts from the pulpit.
I heard only hatred from the mouth of this man. How could any person sit under this type of "preaching" for more than one morning? I would have been out of that church door in no time flat!! He is nothing more than an
antagonist to the people who sit under his ministry - and I cannot imagine that our Lord Jesus Christ could be pleased with any of those rhetorics. His church may be noted for doing many good things but they will be remembered for their Pastor who is a disgrace to the American ministry.

I am really tired of people who keep trying to make excuses for Obama for associating with a so-called minister for 20 years who does not preach about Christ but instead preaches pure unadulterated hatred for America and rich white people. Obama and the so-called minister live in million dollar houses. I think they are both gigantic liars and hypocrites. It is pretty scary to hear what people listen to in black churches in this country. They keep telling everyone we need to understand. Is that because you haven't explained this or you think we that we are just too stupid to "understand"?

I seriously believe it would hurt rather than help either one of them. Actually I don't want to see anymore of him. The man is a instigator of racial hatred and if everything we are hearing now from the "black" church spokemen is true it is easy to see why this "racial" topic never dies. They propagate it themselves and swim in the waters of self pity. None of them living were ever slaves. Get over it!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!! I do not think we should allow him, that SO CALLED pastor/reverend, ANY kind of opportunity or platform in which to continue his supremacist, arrogant, anti-christian "preaching"..........what a joke he is!!!!! It is truly sickening to see him over and over saying that junk. IF a Caucasian made these kind of remarks about Afro-Americans, the blacks would be ALL up in a wad making idiots out of themselves!!!!!!! Just like their Miss Black USA (or Miss Black America........whatever they call it). If America had an exclusive all White Miss America, EXCLUDING THEM because of their color.........what a joke and racket they are making of themselves!!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!!! NO!!!!! PLEASE DO NOT have that person......he's not even worthy to be called a "man", much less a Pastor or "Reverend"!!!! A REAL man, a TRUE man of the ONE, TRUE God of the ONE and ONLY Bible, would never speak such words as this "wright" has!!!!!! He's an embarrassment to America.......honestly and truthfully, an embarrassment!!!!!!!!!

What part of "God Damn America" do you not understand? In context or out of context, Oboma could not have gone to that church for any length of time without knowledge of the preacher's hateful teachings. The preacher should be tried for treason, and Oboma should be banned from public office. I agree with Hilary, I question his patriotism.

Please, please, please play the entire sermon before Rev. Wright is invited. This way, your entire audience can know the entire truth/totality of the Sermon, of which is based from the Book of Luke. I have seen/heard the entire sermon, thanks to CNN contributor Roland Martin. Also, invite Roland Martin on your show Greta, so he can give his honest views, being that he is the ONE MAN that had/has enough insight and diligence to post the entire Sermon on his website so we can all be better informed of the TRUTH! I think the media is taking this out of context also. And, stop questioning Obama's reason for staying with the church. In my opinion, we as Black people, do not leave our churh because we may not like what our pastor says, but remember the bigger reason we attend church is to fellowship with other members of the church, not just the Pastor. Members of our churches are like family! There is much more to our churches than just listening to a Sermon. Networking, fellowshiping, praying together, volunteering in the community, feeding the hungry, etc. Please do not think that everything the Pastor says, we embrace. I pray for the annointing of the Pastor first, then, if the Sermon touches my spirit,. I am grateful. However, it is up to me to have that personal relationship with my Lord, not up to my Pastor. My pastor cannot bring me closer to my Lord, it is personal, for all of us. Enough is enough. Stop with all the right wing negativity, racism and rhetoric. Moreover, I deeply feel, because we have an intelligent, forthright Black man running for president, there are White people that do not want that to happen. Lets face it Greta, there will always be racism in America by White folks toward Black folks. Moreover, why hasn't Fox News mentioned the fact that Hilary Clinton's pastor is facing 3 yrs in prison for molestation. Why haven't I seen or heard that from Fox News? I thought Fox News was (was being operative) fair and balanced. I think and know not! Remember, Obama is the running for office, not he pastor. Lets get real! Stop the hate and move on to the real issues like, education, economy, the war, housing, homelessness, etc. My God, so many more relative/important issues re our nation called America. This is really crazy! Makes me want to move out of this country. Thank God I am in the planning stages for retirement. Caribbean sounds good right about now. Retirement cannot come soon enough, especially if this is the type of negativity American News Media is about.

2008-03-27 22:50:14 ET

Greta: You tried but failed. You will never get any of these apologists to admit that what Wright spews is hateful, disgraceful and anti-religious, no matter which faith is represented. They all display the same venomous, negative regard for the non-white community. They use the word "context" as though it makes them immune to shameful behavior. My one consolation: the many decent, intelligent black personalities who appear on Fox who balance out these people.

Rev Wright is not going to lead this country. It is Obama, Clinton or McCain. I wish it was someone else, but this is the pityful choices we are left with.
The canidates need to focus on the key issues or the ecomony, a failing financial structure. The failing medicaid, the failing social security. The failing war, the failing congress, the failing senators, the failing goverment. NOT a nut case like Rev Weight. Let him go die in hell and let try to pull this country together before we all sink with Rev Wrght

Gene

Sen. Obama should be ashamed of exposing his children to a pastor who preaches lies, hate and bigotry under the guise of "liberation theology" and leaving the impression with them that this is all right. What Rev. Wright preaches has nothing to do with liberation or theology. It is just old-fashioned.

brings forth good fruit but a corrupt tree brings forth corrupt fruit wherefore by
their fruits ye shall know them. So sorry Rev but our prayer group and all our
christian friends say their is no good fruit on your tree ,but hatred , malice
anger, strife, unforgiveness, pride,sowing discord among the brethren,one of the 7 things God hates and the worst is you used the wonderful name of our
LORD IN VAIN.THEREFORE ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE YOU ARE A FALSE

I would like to hear a "healing dialogue" that consists of how Biblical principles can be applied to this whole situation. I don't think an Interview per se would accomplish any purpose. However, I am glad that we are having a dialogue about why race relations are not improving. I thought church was a place to worship God, seek His guidance, and follow God's ways no matter what. It is the scripture that is being taken out of context, and not being presented as guidelines for growing a better way of life. It appears that there are different guidelines for how much politics can be presented from the pulpit in Black churches compared to white churches. How does the new "hate speech" legislature apply here? This has certainly been offensive. It would seem that if Obama wants to lead our country and improve diplomacy with others countries, then he could demonstrate his leadership abilities in helping resolve this issue.

Debi

Rev. Wright should never have been ordained or awarded a church to preach to considering the vile hatred that comes from his mouth which is (as all Christians should know) not the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Even small children are taught to love thy neighbor (not to spew hatred from a church pulpit of all places!) Jesus taught us to respect and tolerate the differences of our brothers and sisters here on earth, amessage that Rev. Wright has failed to preach and practice.

He is black and I am white so we are probably not related (thank goodness) but he almost makes me want to deny my maiden name!

Thelma
2008-03-27 22:51:43 ET

No matter what explanation Rev. Wright gives, he will never be able to answer honestly why he feels his message unites the Black and White communities. Clearly, Whites are NOT the ones prejudice. Consider the number of White people who were willing to vote for Obama despite his color. The Black community dumped President Clinton, the "first Black President," without even blinking. This is how they say thank you. If I sound disgusted, I am. I never ever thought Black people hated me, but thanks to Rev. Wright, I know they do. My feelings will never be the same for the Black community, at large. If Obama is the Democrat's nominee, I will vote for McCain, and I am a lifetime registered Democrat.

Randall
2008-03-27 22:51:52 ET

WHAT YOU DO IN PRIVATE IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE. OBAMA STTING IN A CHURCH LISTENING TO HIS PASTER FOR 20 YEARS IS OUTRAGEOUS, AND IS A PRIVATE ACT. NOW, HE ASKS US TO FOLLOW HIM AS OUR PUBLIC LEADER... I DON'T THINK SO. I HOPE THEY BOTH REPENT AND ONLY THEN WILL I CONSIDER VOTING FOR HIM.

I do not care to hear anything further from Rev. Wright. "Out of context" continues to be mentioned. Regardless of what the topic of his sermon was, the fact that Rev. Wright said "God Damn America" is not only shocking but very painful. It saddens me that any American would make such a horrific statement. For a man of the pulpit to rant this kind of a statement is completely demoralizing. I do not hold Obama responsible for Rev. Wright's vicious statements, but I am very concerned about Obama's judgment to continue attending church there. It is good that Rev. Wright has decided to retire.

2008-03-27 22:52:26 ET

Greta, I think you were right on the money with your point about judgment. We may never know what Obama truly believes in his heart, but we can assess his ability to make prudent decisions. A substantive interview with Reverend Wright could go a long way toward helping the voters get a more meaningful picture of Senator Obama's involvement with this man and his church.

It boggles my mind how when a white person with a microphone and a captive audience (Don Imus) makes a single comment that could be viewed as racist, he is condemned in every way, shape and form. But when a black person under similar circumstances makes even more venomous remarks it's simply dismissed as, "... he's being taken out of context...". Perhaps Don Imus' comments were taken out of context as well. After all, it was just a "single sound byte" from thousands of hour of time spent on the radio (sound familiar?). He's done so many good things (sound familiar). (I'm being sarcastic here if you're not picking up on it.)

All this is, is the same old double standard that many within the black community have as it relates to the ugly world of racism...It's okay for blacks to bash whites and any other ethnic or racial group they see fit, but as soon as a white person does on ANY level, it's met with outrage.

I have to admit, Obama had me on the fence or should I say fooled up until this all surfaced. Now, I would NEVER vote for Obama simply based on the circumstances surrounding him and his pastor.

this whole thing seems to me like either obama is not so religious so he never really went to church, which explains why he didnt hear thos comments... or he heard them and ignored them and lied to us that he had no idea what rev. wright said...

if infact obama did not hear rev. wright hear anything like this in 20 years, then one must wonder what obama would miss in the 4 years IF he was elected as president....

Obama. began his campaign saying he wanted to unite America- all I see so far is he's pitted whites against blacks and vice versa. Obama is the most dishonest candidate in the race- he's a smooth talker and a good liar. Too bad so many voters can't see him for what he really is and the danger he brings to America if he were elected President. He already has the country riled up over race issues, including me who has never been a racist, and frankly didn't think of him as a black man, but just a Democrat candidate. Now he's the anti-Christ, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Beware!

2008-03-27 22:54:35 ET

I see there's truly different views of America but there's only ONE truth in any situation and in many instnces Rev. Wright drew references to situations that are agreed upon by many no matter the complexion of their skin. Many leaders around the world have taken people for granted. America and any other country that has suppressed and/or oppressed their people at any cost has all RIGHTS to be ashamed.

Maria
2008-03-27 22:54:40 ET

Just Because Sen Oboma attended Rev Wrights church doesn't mean that his views are the same. and you cant make him guilt by association. and it does not mean that he did not give oboma spiritual guidance. the only reason why fox is playing these snipits is to brainwash the american people that are behind oboma to change their minds about him and switch to hrc . this should not be nothing new because you know that racism does exist in this country. because if it didn't it would not be played out this way. your fox station is so busy trying to bring oboma down and this is not even his words. nor is it his charater. the racism that exist just dont want to embrace the change of an african american president. why dont your station play the sniperfire that hillary went thru that she said out of her own mouth which she states is a mistake .play that over & over but keep in mind these words came out of her mouth But the words of Rev Wright did not come out of Oboma's mouth. Oboma has addressed the race issue and we know that it exist because we see it thru what the media's play daily exspecialy on fox news. and greta when someone like a guest is invited to interview with her if they are saying what's true and of broader mind and are a Oboma Suporter she want's to cut them off --america needs to open her mind.

My children watch the election results with us.Do you all realize that the news the way you report it is affecting their views?We teach our children to love everyone regardless of their views or skin color.You are no better than some of the negative views expressed by Rev.Wright.Join in with Obama and unite the country.Don't use the power you have in the media to teach hate.Stop hiding behind the media to push negative.Do you at Fox have anything positive to report on Obama?I don't allow my children to watch Fox,MYSELF included.

Since Obama thought Reverend Wright was a good man who preached Jesus helping him come to Christ etc, Then why did Obama say he might have to distance himself almost a year ago from Wright? Also why did Obama say in his first speech he gave that he didn't hear any racist statements from Wright.Second speech as Fox news pointed out he did say he heard some things he didn't agree with? If this was Hillary's pastor she'd already be asked to step down for this.Why is Obama getting a free pass for his 20 year association plus his pastor giving Louis Farakahn an award?As we all know Farakahn is a well known racist.I do not believe Obama,to say in a 20 year span he never knew or heard any of these racist remarks or the anti american statements this was only a lie to save Obama's campaign. There's too much we don't know about Obama,people are too eager to accept what they see without checking out what their buying.

I believe that Obama should be held accountable however, I fully understand Rev. Wright's comments. Many in this country may not know that it is a documented fact that the United States government experimented with the syphillis virus only on African American males. so Rev. Wright comments about Aids being directed to minority communities is not that inplausible.
Also the United States attacks on other countries and nations while done in the name of freedom have left many people around the world mutated, disfigured and genetically marred for the next 200 years, so when Wright talks about"chickens coming home to roost" there is an element of truth in these comments. There is absolutely no doubt that "shock jocks" such as Rush and Sean and Bill O'rielly are playing the race card in reverse. The goal is to have particulary White America becime so infuriated by these 15 second sound bytes that the obvious option will be to DAH will vote for John McCain.

I would be more inclined to agree with comments expoused by a media outlet that had"no dog in the race" meaning you bring "fair and balanced information"
from a neutral perspective.

I would submit Rev Wrights words are harsh and divisive yet true. However it is so plain to see that the conservative movement is molding and shaping this to create an air of racial division in a much more offensive subliminal manner.

Rush Limbaugh whom refers to himself as GOD is the main character in this plot. Let us not forget Rush is an addict in recovery this is a reality not a smear. He is an addict with X amount of days since the last drug high.

We are a nation with a very short memory. Rush says I am not ever going to talk about my addiction and we accept that. Bill O'Rielly the same thing I refuse to ever discuss my "failure of judgement" and we accept. Dick Morris
the same thing Fox brings him on to talk about the Clintons as some sort of expert. yet we do not consider the fact that Bill Clinton threw Morris under the bus and did not defend him through his "failure in judgement" period so does one think the comments we listen to from him are going to be kind? so let us look at the total picture and those that are trying to orchestrate these acts for their own gain. they are playing us like puppets playing to our fears and our emotions. Fox is definitely not running this campaign because they love their audience and want us to be well informed.
Does racism and bigotry exist you better believe it however as Obama has stated we can use this election to MAYBE begin to stem the tide.
God Bless us all.

Dont you think its about time to move on, in this counrty, its suppose to be fair but what you and the rest of the media is doing is wrong, you can call it news or whatever you choose but your constant attacks on sen. obama shows that you are not fair and balanced. whats your goal ? to bring him down to get ratings I always thought you were different. We have very serious problems in this country And if a person honestly looks at the three running for office and who can best help this country the choice is clear thank you julian

Hey Thelma. Don't think that black people hate you. I know plenty of blacks that are the kindest, non-racist folk that you'll ever meet here in Seattle. Don't let one ever tarnish your general outlook. Be objective and fair always to the people you meet. I'm a conservative and know even liberals that are despised of Wrights' actions.

Please, please, please play the entire sermon before Rev. Wright is invited. This way, your entire audience can know the entire truth/totality of the Sermon, of which is based from the Book of Luke. I have seen/heard the entire sermon, thanks to CNN contributor Roland Martin. Also, invite Roland Martin on your show Greta, so he can give his honest views, being that he is the ONE MAN that had/has enough insight and diligence to post the entire Sermon on his website so we can all be better informed of the TRUTH! I think the media is taking this out of context also. And, stop questioning Obama's reason for staying with the church. In my opinion, we as Black people, do not leave our churh because we may not like what our pastor says, but remember the bigger reason we attend church is to fellowship with other members of the church, not just the Pastor. Members of our churches are like family! There is much more to our churches than just listening to a Sermon. Networking, fellowshiping, praying together, volunteering in the community, feeding the hungry, etc. Please do not think that everything the Pastor says, we embrace. I pray for the annointing of the Pastor first, then, if the Sermon touches my spirit,. I am grateful. However, it is up to me to have that personal relationship with my Lord, not up to my Pastor.

If Obama went to this church for 20 years he must have either slept through the service or he was not listening.. Oh wait I am so dumb!!!!!!!!!!! Rev Wright only talked like that when he was sure Obama was not there. If it was reversed coming from whites the NAACP would be screaming along with Sharpton and J. Jackson and they would be on thier way to the Supreme Court. But since it is not reversed they are dripping with sweetness and honey, and yo white people should not be so hard and drop it. I am a registered Democrat but I can and will vote Republican.

I would like you to ask Obama why would you expose your children to the haterd that is taught at the church by Rev Wright. As I tell my kids you are a product of the environment you live in. Come on Obama you atttended church you called him a friend , he married you and your wife baptised your children he was on your election team as an advisor and you expect America to believe you never knew the Rev spoke such haterd for America and white people. Come electin day you will find Americans are not so stupid to believe your lies

Apparently this venom that Rev. Wright is spewing has been done in many other black churches by invitation for many years! How naive we are to think that all the social programs for negroes that taxpayers supported over the years since Lyndon Johnston's "Great Society" was initiated have not only NOT been appreciated, they haven't been ENOUGH to satisfy them. Obviously, they want even more "gimmies." When will they learn that the path to respect and acceptance lies in their own efforts, such as: staying in school, obtaining an education; observing moral standards of legal marriage, legal birth, etc.; lawful behavior, and taking an honorable role in society. I am sick of the whining and expect them to take responsibility for themselves. If they don't appreciate America, take a look at where their ancestors came from and see how much better off they are now.

I believe that Obama should be held accountable however, I fully understand Rev. Wright's comments. Many in this country may not know that it is a documented fact that the United States government experimented with the syphillis virus only on African American males. so Rev. Wright comments about Aids being directed to minority communities is not that inplausible.
Also the United States attacks on other countries and nations while done in the name of freedom have left many people around the world mutated, disfigured and genetically marred for the next 200 years, so when Wright talks about"chickens coming home to roost" there is an element of truth in these comments. There is absolutely no doubt that "shock jocks" such as Rush and Sean and Bill O'rielly are playing the race card in reverse. The goal is to have particulary White America becime so infuriated by these 15 second sound bytes that the obvious option will be to DAH will vote for John McCain.

I would be more inclined to agree with comments expoused by a media outlet that had"no dog in the race" meaning you bring "fair and balanced information"
from a neutral perspective.

I would submit Rev Wrights words are harsh and divisive yet true. However it is so plain to see that the conservative movement is molding and shaping this to create an air of racial division in a much more offensive subliminal manner.

Rush Limbaugh whom refers to himself as GOD is the main character in this plot. Let us not forget Rush is an addict in recovery this is a reality not a smear. He is an addict with X amount of days since the last drug high.

Thank you for asking the questions we all would like answered. What about the children in that church. Does Obama go to church with his children and wife? I cannot imagine people in the congregation who are all jumping for joy at his hateful disgraceful remarks. He is the most predjudice person. I would want him to explain every nasty word that has come out of his venimous mouth and how his words are taken out of context. This is supposed to be a man of GOD. A preacher using the name of the Lord in vain. It is unbelievable how other preachers are defending him. I quess this is going on all over. Even Rev. Lawson from Houston (who marched with MLK defended him. I guess hatered is being preached all over. One of the latest remarks is against the Italians calling us garlic noses. I saw a snippit of the view. He is not looking at Joy (who has defended him agreeing his words were taken out of context. hE KEEPS LOOKING AWAY AND DOWN WITH HIS EYE LIDS FLICKERING LIKE SCOTT PETERSON. We do not pick our relatives but we do pick our friends he has made a very poor choice in friends(uncle). Please keep asking your questions. We are going back instead of forward. We are talking about a man who wants to rule our God Bless the USA. He is attending this church with his children and wife. Is this what we want to teach our children. This is where it all starts with teaching the children. There also are other families with children listening to this bigot while the congregation is jumping for joy as he spits out his venom. As you can tell I am MAD MAD MAD. Keep up the good work and keep asking questions. No one else has the guts. Good Job Greta.

I thought the question to vote on was whether or not we would get an opportunity to listen to one of Wright's inflammatory sermons in its entirety. And, thus, removing the arguement that his comments were taken "out of context".

I did vote "Yes" to the question here which was about having Wright on your show to explain himself. However, I feel that you will get nowhere trying to get serious dialogue from him.

Let's see one of his sermons and then have commentary.

How downtrodden can some of these people be when they make 1.6 mil in one year (The Obamas)? Also, I have now heard (but not verified) that Wright is building a 20 million dollar home in a suburb of Chicago. I would like to be that downtrodden! If he is a truly a man of God and wants to help "his people", his money would help a lot of poor blacks in the Chicago area.

i have this comment about racism. if someone doesn't make a point of the color of his/her skin. i don't think about skin color. really the racial divide is going to continue as long as some can profit from it. like bet, miss black america, black history, black business month, etc. these entities clearly exist because of profit. if blacks really want whites to be colorblind, they must stop supporting things which promote color. isn't this common sense? and slavery was bad, it was generations ago. move on! i had ancestors who were kidnapped and brought to america as servants. my ex husband cheated on me. i refuse to be a victim -i am not defined by my history. and while i'm ranting, if blacks hadn't been brought here by slavery, they'd still be in africa right? would that be better than living in this great country however it happened that they got here. as for me, i am sorry my ancestors were servants, but i see that i am now blessed to be here, and though the history was bad -some good has come out of the bad. why don't more blacks look at it this way? ( after reading this -what color do you think i am?)

My reaction to Rev. Wright's "God damn America" sound bite as shown repeatedly on television was one of complete shock and disbelief. However, after viewing the full speech on YouTube, I have to admit that those same remarks lose their shock value when heard as part of the whole sermon.

I now understand what the Reverend who was interviewed by Greta earlier tonight meant by "context". It really does matter. Of course, shock value means higher ratings so its understandable that the media wouldn't want to pursue that line.

if you do interview him, ask him extensively about the home he's building.

he'll probably do an interview, but an interview on al sharpton's radio station.

This is to comment on one posted comment about why do blacks refer to themselves as African Americans and not just Americans. As a black persons I would love that too. You must understand American history to know the answer to this question. Why are blacks still considered "a minority"? Why are statistics still seperated between blacks and whites? We have "the black vote" which is considered very important. Why?

2008-03-27 23:00:19 ET

Greta, Rev. Wright seems to be a man full hate and bitterness rather than the representative of Christ. His words and actions are clearly the opposite of a biblical mandate to love and forgive your enemies. It is not credible that Mr. Obama sat under his preaching and teaching for twenty years and did not at any time hear the words of hate and poison Paster Wright spewed into the congregation. Clearly Rev. Wright has major issues with the best country in the world, America. Mr. Obama's link to the teachings of Malcom X is frightening at best and would definitely fracture the many years of progress for civil rights in our young democracy. Rev Wright should be asked to explain his "hate speech" about our American Family. We are not perfect, but we are a giving and caring people. We have multiple cemeteries on foreign soil to prove this.

Everyone talks on the Bosnia issue w/Hillary. Do people not remember that from the very beginning Obama was hiding the Reverend. I do not understand why this is not a truly truly serious issue w/people. What is wrong w/voters????? People can you pound this through your heads you cannot have a 20 relationship with your " Pastor/Spiritual " advisor without sharing the same views!!!!!!! At First Obama stated on 2 or 3 occasions he did not hear the remarks of Wright, and at his big racial speech he did. Does this not constitute a huge LIE?????????????????? Do you people realize when Obama let the Chicago papers finally interview him on Rezko, Obama is more explicit about his relationship w/Rezko and how he now admits to Rezko funding more money to his campaign then he previously admitted to. Why are you people still voting for the man, an ADMITTED LIAR BY HIS OWN WORDS????????? There is still so much unknown about Obama, how can people truly think this LIAR can change or unite anything. Wake up people you hold your own future in your hands. Don't cry after it is too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Obama and Wright were to sit together on an interview it would be so well rehearsed the truth is something that will only be shared by Obama and Wright. Obama cannot say the truth on Wright he knows it will cost him the Presidential Race. Reverend Wright does not deserve any air time just deportation since America is so unfair to him.

Mike
2008-03-27 23:01:36 ET

There are questions that have not been asked. Senator Obama stated he did not hear the comments “while sitting in the pew”. If he was absent it seems logical that he would have watched the DVD and therefore been made aware of the comments. The senator stated that his minister brought him to Christianity. Where was he before he was brought to Christianity?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, HE JUST HAS A PLATFORM TO SPEW HIS OPINIONS AND HATRED; WHEN SCRIPTURE TEACHES US TO FORGIVE AND FORGET. MOVE EVIDENCE THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT TAUGHT THERE IS THAT ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE FOX SHOWS I SAW; OBAMA UNTIL 2006 ONLY GAVE 1% OF HIS INCOME TO HIS CHURCH WHEN SCHRIPTURE TEACHES US TO TITHE WHICH IS 10%. MALACHI 3:8-12. WE ARE TO BE GIVERS ABOVE THE TITHE AND EXPECT A RETURN ON OUR GIVING, AND I GURANTEE YOU CAN NOT OUT GIVE GOD. I'VE BEEN WALKING WITH THE LORD FOR 33 YEARS AND CAN ATTEST TO THIS. LUKE 6;38 2CORINTHIANS 9;6-9. I STRONGLY OBJECT TO HIS REMARKS AGAINST THIS COUNTRY; HE NEEDS TO TEACH ON 1TIMOTHY 2:1-5 WE ARE TO PRAY FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY. FROM WHAT I CAN SEE THAT CHURCH IS COMMITTED TO AFRICA. I DID GO VISIT THE SITE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. PERHAPS THEY SHOULD GO TRY LIVING OVER THERE. I GIVE THEM 6 MONTHS AND THEY WOULD BE SO THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO GET BACK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot even believe that Barack Obama is even in the running. All of these people standing behind him, throwing their support behind him......not one of them can state anything substantial that he can do for this country. He is an embarrassment to this Country and shame on these Dem's for even entrtaining his church full of bigotry. He wants change. OK what are you going to do for me besides raise my taxes to give to others who sit on their backsides doing nothing. Barack needs to move to a socialist country to live, because that is what he is trying to turn the USA into. Wake up people. Are you kidding me. Is this the role model that you want your children to look up to. I was born and raised a Catholic, I have NEVER heard a priest say anything as inflammatory as what his church preaches. I have NEVER disagreed with anything a priest have ever said in sermons in my church. I will not even let my small children listen to any of the rantings of these alleged religious people. I recieved my LIPA bill yesterday. The lowest in nearly 10 years. My usage was $79. Guess what. I have to pay $179. $100 tacked onto my bill. It's called a surcharge. Just because. Is he going to pay that for me. I raise 4 children in my home. I should be commended for my conservation of energy. Instead I am being punished. People are being forced out of their homes on Long Island. The younger generations that we are raising wiil not be able to remain on Long Island. What will Barack do for me? Raise taxes, that's what. He admits it right off the bat. Wake up people. Let's not even touch upon the corruption in the school districts. Why is it that ALL of our school districts are NOT investigated. Because nobody cares. Barack's not helping me. We're going broke and nobody cares. I cannot wait to leaveLong Island. I am going broke and will not be able to afford to put my kid's thru college. Our hard earned money should be to support our own families, not to pave the pockets of the corrupt. We need to pull together and start electing some credible officials into office that are not surrounded by all this dysfuntion. I still cannot believe that Barack Obama is even being entertained as a candidate. This is like a bad dream and all you people out there need to WAKE UP!.

Noting that JUDAS could say would change my opinion of him.

The Black American experience is different than every other ethnic group in America. Our government enacted laws that striped us of our rights. In the last 15 years in New York GlaxoSmithKline used black children in foster care with HIV to experiement with drug treatments without informed consent. There is the Tuskegee Syphilis study that denied medication to African Americans. There is a history of government abuse of rights that continue today. There are harsher and longer sentences for African Americans vs Whites for the sames crimes. There are current studies that show if all variables are equal except for race if you are black and seek medical care you receive unequal treatment vs that received by whites. The members of the black community are not surprised by these findings because we live with the knowledge that living in the USA means living with unequal treatment. I travel and refuse to stop to eat in many small cities because I am always afraid someone will do something to my car or to my food. Two years ago I was with a group of 3 peers and we stopped at a store. My peers went into the shop a head of me. We all needed to use the restroom. When I went in I was told the restroom was outside near the gas pumps. I went to this restroom and it was FILTHY, I couldn't use it!! I went in to the stop to discover that the other 2 white women I was with were allowed to use the nice restroom within the store. The store clerk did not know we were all traveling together. I am only 44. This is the American experience that we live. There is a "privelege" that comes with being white. You don't know it because it is your normal state of understanding. African Americans don't go out looking for racist behavior but when it occurs we are rightfully indignant but not surprised. Dr. Wright is an exceptional biblical scholar. I have heard him preach in Columbus, Ohio and he communicates this knowledge well. However, he like many of any race can get caught up in the emotions of life. Even within the writings in the bible there are harsh words that are written. Good people are caught making decisions and statements and God doesn't turn his back on them. I have said things to my husband in the heat of an argument that I don't want to have replayed for the world to comment on. I think we are very narrow minded to impose upon Barack Obama a higher responsibility for his pastor than the USA is imposing on President George Bush. He should be impeached for all of the lying and criminal acitiviy that he is done. Where is the apology for Slavery that our government still has not given African Americans? They gave an apology to the Japanese along with a check for $20,000. Over a hundred years of slave labor....Jim Crow....Lynching.....Separate and Unequal schools....Housing Deeds that don't allow blacks to purchase property....Unequal jail terms......Unequal access to health treatments............Tuskeege Syphilis experiment............HIV GSK experiment ..............When these questions are answered and an apology with reparations are made then I will say to America I am Proud that you stood up and finally made right all of the Millions of wrongs that have been done to my people, my family, my ancestors.....but I will not give you my children. This is the test for this generation.

Black or white, anti-American dialogue is just that and it should not be preached or taught to our children. Adults can make decisions on what they will and will not believe, but we are poisoning our children who have to sit in churches or schools and listen to this. No different than the terrorist schools...hate is hate. I suggest those who hate this country so much and feel so disenfranchised, should leave and not come back. There are many countries to welcome them.

The association of Rev. Wright and a candidate for the President of the United States is not some passing item of curiosity. The objectivity and unbiased approach to leading our great country should not be a matter of whether the candidate can win a popularity contest. And, I hope it does not come down to that. We need a President we can trust to make the difficult decisions correctly, based on the wellbeing of us all. I am deeply concerned about the recent events, particularly those relating to this preacher, his clear vicious message, and his relationship with the candidate.

Rev Wright and Obama are racist! Obama would not even be in this race if America would have known about his racist background. America needs to wake up and realize that Obama is not a leader but a racist!!!

My pastor cannot bring me closer to my Lord, it is personal, for all of us. Enough is enough. Stop with all the right wing negativity, racism and rhetoric. Moreover, I deeply feel, because we have an intelligent, forthright Black man running for president, there are White people that do not want that to happen. Lets face it Greta, there will always be racism in America by White folks toward Black folks. Moreover, why hasn't Fox News mentioned the fact that Hilary Clinton's pastor is facing 3 yrs in prison for molestation. Why haven't I seen or heard that from Fox News? I thought Fox News was (WAS being operative) fair and balanced. I think and know not! Remember, Obama is the running for office, not he pastor. I WOULD like to see the sermon in its entirety...I think the media IS taking it out of context.

Mr. Wright and Mr. Obama do not deserve to be interviewed anymore. The hate message is very clear there is nothing to clarify it is not out of context.
Obama has the same believe as Wright, since that is the reason people go to
church to form their ideals.

I've heard the extended version of Reverend Wrights sermon and it still hasn't changed my opinion of him and his preaching. He may be a minister, but as far as I'm concerned the things he has said is immoral and not something a true christian and especially a man of God would say.

Attending the church for as many years as Barack Obama did, he had to have heard what Reverend Wright was preaching, reading what he was writing and heard the things by word of mouth. For me, this and other things we have learned about Mr. Obama makes me question his judgement and character.

Michelle Ray....Can I buy that ticket for you out of the country? Your facts seem a little biased. Everytime I turn the TV on it's the blacks that are moaning about racial hatred and inequality. While I agree that Rev. Wright is not the man running for President, his teachings will affect the thoughts and beliefs of all in his congregation.

2008-03-27 23:04:29 ET

I would like to hear the sermon where he says"God damn America". My personal feelings are that he should be shipped out of American to some other country. He probably would then realize quickly that American is one of God's more fortunate countries. We have so much to be THANKFUL for. I know God blesses America, and blesses me personally. If I were Rev. Wright I would be thinking about my salvation right now, God giveth, and God can take away!!!!!! It's time to drop the racial crap, and live as Americans, black, white and green a like, making a better nation.That should be priority for ALL Americans.

Rick
2008-03-27 23:04:44 ET

I agree with including Obama in the interview... I would also like to see Mrs. Obama included as well... my guess is that she may hold many of the same views as Rev. Wright based on her "never been proud of being an American" statement.

After viewing the other posted comments, I find it interesting that Wright is being called a racist by individuals who have not heard the entire sermon. Furthermore, some of the same individuals are stating that Wright's statements were lies. Greta played other portions of the sermon the second time she spoke with Al Sharpton about this issue. There was nothing in the sermon that had any racist tones. In fact, Wright "claims" during this same sermon that the United States had to add amendments to the constitution to give blacks and white women the right to vote. So, I ask those who are not informed about the entire sermon, is this fact or fiction about our nation's history? Wright furthermore "claims" that there is a glass ceiling for white women in corporate america where white males historically make more money for the same job than blacks and white women. Is this fact or fiction?
These are just two examples of Wright's "claims". Again, I am certain that some of his sermon will make individuals uncomfortable; however, the uncomfortable truth brought to the fore-front usually makes individuals uncomfortable. We are a nation that does not like to be reminded of our tattered past unless it serves a political or damaging purpose. "Obama sat in the church for 20 years where his preacher has used racial rhetoric"...How can he do that and expect to be president?....THIS IS NOT A QUESTION OF JUDGEMENT BUT CHOICE...We have former presidents that were slave owners....We may have recent presidents whose ancestors were slave owners as well and may have participated in Jim Crow (Lynchings)....Nope, I don't have concrete truth of either but how about we ask them about their family tree or about some of their friends. Since we want to question an individual about his/her affiliation (judgement), we should ask all candidates about their current and past affiliations(judgements). Maybe that should be the first question we ask any presidential candidate: "Do you or have you ever been affiliated with a racist, terrorist, felon, convict, etc.? " That way we will know what kind of people our candidates are...We will judge them based on their affiliations with others....Oh yea, Thomas Jefferson had slaves, but "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal" ...NOT UNTIL WE PASSED TWO ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS (15th Amendment...the right to vote regardless of race, color, religion, (gender not included)....19th Amendment (the right for American women to vote) So, I guess one of Wright's "claims" during the sermon is proved FACT. Watch the sermon and JUDGE for yourself.

Rev. Wright does not deserve to live in America! Black people in America are so blessed to be Americans no matter what the price paid for them by their ancestors. Our ancestors paid a large price as well! Blacks need to get over it or go back to their native Africa and see how they could have been. If I were Black I would thank God every day for being an American! Rev. Wright is doing much damage to his people and he should in my opinion be tried for treason!

It isn't Rev Wright whom we need to hear. Nor is it Mr. Obama! We already heard all we need to from both of them to know what kinds of people they are! It's time we stand up against both of them and tell them that we will not have the likes of them elevated to high positions in our country. Yesterday Senator Obama attempted to defend the Rev's behavior and diatribes. How can a man who wants to be the president of this country explain how he could (not would) be connected with a preacher who preaches hatred toward white people, and a congregation that supports that preacher and his hate-mongering!It is unthinkable that we would even consider this man for the presidency. If Mr. McCain had been a part of David Duke's church, liberals would have already had him dismissed from the nomination process. When are we going to wake up and see what is being done to us right before our eyes. Conservatives and all others who love this country need to take off the "kid gloves" and start shouting from the rooftops how we feel about those who hate all that this great country has stood for since its inception. Somehow,these types of liberals have succeeded in intimidating us, thereby quieting our voices. No More! Enough is enough! Let us never forget what we all know - one is known by the company he keeps, and in this case, the company one "cannot disown" because "I find no fault in him"!

To all interested.
Go to www.newsmax.com and search an article entitled "Obama attends hate America sermon"

It was written by Ronald Kessler. Apperently, there is proof Obama heard Wrights preaching.

A freelance writer Jim Davis witnessed Obama in TUCC on July 22, 2007. Even Obamas staff admits he had an "appearance" in Chicago that morning. They wouldn't admit he was in church.

Davis said that day in his sermon Wright blamed the "white arrogance" of America's Caucasian majority for the world's suffering, especially the OPPRESSON of blacks. He went on reffering to the "United States of White America" Davis said Obama could have walked out but he just sat in his pew with his Secret Service detail and nodded his head in AGREEMENt!!!!!!!!!!

If anybody knows how we can get his SS schedule for that day let me know. I'm told it is a public document. My email is ldog70@comcast.net

I took a previous poster's challenge, went out to YouTube & listened to the clips there from Rev Wright's sermons and feel even MORE strongly that he is just pushing White Racism. All the things he sites about slavery, Supreme Court, etc. are well in the past. He needs to let go and realize we are in a new Millineum and if everyone would just pull together, look to the future and learn from our past mistakes things Could Change. But by continuously looking to the past and blaming all the Ills of today on the past we will NEVER be able to make changes that will move us into a Better future.

When are you all going to do your jobs and report the news. This is not news. It is only a ploy to place your judgement on a man because there seems that there's not much else to go on. This is just another trick you all have played on Americans who watch television to hear and see what's wrong with the world. I've read most of these comments and I can't believe how naive people are. I don't know Wright and would be willing to bet that none of the commentors do either. Yet we are all willing to discredit and condemn one man because of the words of someone who is supposed to be close to him. Wrights soundbites means obama has poor judgement. This idea is so ridiculous. Maybe we really do fear African-Americans. That may be the only reason why this has gone so far. God and everyone else knows that McCain and Clinton have a lot more baggage than Obama does, but there missteps have not gotten as much attention as this ridiculous Rev. Wright issue. I question every politician's judgement, so if this is the only thing that you have on Obama he now has my vote. I was a voter caught between Clinton or Obama. They are very similiar with their ideas and because of the status of our economy I was leaning towards Clinton but now that I see what is really happening. I'm voting for the Black guy who everyone wants to ridicule because he went to a church where the pastor said God Damn America. Jesus Christ!!! (not in vain)

FOR PETE'S SAKE......If Reverand Wright believes in what he preached from the the pulpit at his Trinity Church, then he ought to be man enough to come out of hiding and stand up for what he believes in! I keep hearing that his remarks have been "taken out of contest". Well, if that's the case, there is no better person to "put things in contest" than the very Reverand Wright! It doesn't say much for a so-called "man of th cloth" who won't come out into the light and defend his beliefs!

Greta, what you need to ask him is what in the world about sen wright inspired obama to write his book. nothing this ugly black racist said could ever inspre me and therefore, I am grossed out that he could be the next pesident. These types of fear mongers are changing the rules of the English language because they are uneducated and prefer to speak ebonics. I do nt want to speak ebonics, and I don't want to change the rules of the english language where n word can be spewed forth by rap artists, and whte men sent to prison for saying. america needs to stand up to this filth. Greta, you need make that point and not be weak about it. Obama worshipped this man, why isn't anyone speaking to that????You need to be tougher on the black church reps that claim it's the media's fault as you are falling right into the wag the dog motif that is hurting america. There is no circumstance that any of what sen wright said would have anything to do with context. Moreover, he sold videos with this speach!!! This goes for Michelle Obama as well. These black racists are ugly and are sending a bad message for America and you need to expose them for what they are in their hatred of white people.

In comment to Michelle Ray's speech. I am a white person and i live in the south and it is people like you and the Black Reverends that keep racism up and going. You in your speech that you just posted in here said that the white people keep the racism up. You really need to listen to Rev. Wright, Rev. Jackson, Rev. Sharpton, Rev. Farrakahn spew out their mess and then say that Black people have racism also against white people so until we all get together it will never stop. I am a blood donor and i just gave blood to St. Jude hospital that went to a little black girl with sickle cell and need blood and my blood was a match so I guess you can say that i am a racial person HUH ?

2008-03-27 23:21:11 ET

Just to read these comments show that there is a major divide. And maybe the divide is between even blacks and white. FOX you need to get off the Rev Wrght junk and get to the issues. Rev Wrght is not the issue because he is not running for presdent. No true american agree with Rev Wright. And you should not judge why someone sat in a church all those years. Heck. It's time to move on. Look at the bad shape of the congress and let remove all of them both repubicans and dems. Look at the report card on the congress. That not Rev Wright.

89% of the time congress strickly down party lines. Not the will of the people. Rev Wright did not vote. Rev wright did not cause a war or the collaspe of our financial system. Rev wright is not causing welfare. FOX. GET off this issue and report the news. Right now your are living up to your name as the Fixed News Network. Fair and balance only when you want it to favor your agenda.

I'm getting turned off to Fox, the bigot Saen Hanity, and many other events. You in fact are driving me away from your repubican party. I wish we had a good independent news station. And not one consumed with bias rather than reporting the facts. Take a poll of how many times a day you damn Obama and I'm not a supporter, but if I want anything negative on Obama or Clinton simply go to Fox news. Get on with you fair reporting. And please please. no more of the nonsense of Rev Wright or even making the dumb dumb statements about how many time other stations did NOT mentioned that the failed governor of New York was a Democrat. We don't care what party he is or was. He was simply another failed politican and not a poll of democrat vs republican. You can tell that to O'Reilly.

I don't think White deserves to talk. He apparently has said way to much and I can't believe he is a man of God. Preachers don't preach hate and Obama very well knows what is going on in his church and I'm sure he was praising to the message that White put out. I am sick to death of some of his kind playing the race card and starting trouble. Guess in time the real person comes out of his shell. I am glad this has surfaced before it was to late Beware America and hopefully we will vote for a proud to be American. Shame on you Rev. White and all the excuses your followers are putting out to cover up this mess... I think he should leave this country that has treated him and others so unfairly..

I have heard all I ever want to hear or need to hear from from Rev. Wright. I can't think of "any" subject used in a sermon would require the statement "God D___ American" used three times in a short outburst. I think the overwhelming support Obama has received from White Democrats in the primary elections, proves Rev. Wright is still living in the past (1960's).

Open your eyes & eras America
2008-03-27 23:24:19 ET

Can't anyone see what is happening here. Obama will not give up his so called "Reverend" Wright because he needs Wright's people to vote for him. Obama and his wife both knew what they were doing when they joined their church. "Mr" Wright took Obama under his wing for this time now. He told Obama educate yourself and we will make you president. Mr Wright is the organizer for Obama. He tells his people where to go and what to do. If you noticed on his preaching in the background all the "HI Fying" being done. All the church is clapping and cheering with whatever "Mr" Wright is saying. I wish the people had their own sense and make their own minds wether it be Obama or Clinton. And if the people going to that church where Mr. Wright preaches, can sit there and agree with him, God help you. Your children are going to grow up with the same hate Mr. Wright has. We are now in 2008 people. It's like someone wrote before me. Everyone has to get a job, educate themselves, be responsible for your actions, get off drugs and all the things everyone blames someone else for. And Yes, Obama has to be like Mr Wright. He sat for "TWENTY YEARS" listening to Mr Wright. He has to be like him. Yes, if anyone speaks like that we all should walk away. A church is to Love and Serve the "Lord". Mr. Wright if you want to preach do it for God not for yourself or your people. Everyone should be your people. I'm glad I'm not your people. I make my own mind and don't have to listen to you. Obama has to because he needs your help.

2008-03-27 23:24:41 ET

Tonight's guest wouldn't answer your question, so I will try.
When Reverend Wright said "God d""" America" I believe he did it with a two-fold purpose. On one hand he was saying that he wants God to punish our country or government for it's sins just like the Bible states that God has done before. This is the part that is a legitimate part of a pastor's sermon. But, on the other hand, he made these comments in a way that bordered on profanity to show his complete disdain for our government. He used this shocking phrase to get the members attention while he reeled them in to agree with his opinion. As a Christian, I resent the way he has used his pulpit as a megaphone for his political and racial views. Of course, it was the choice of the church members, including Barack Obama, to sit and listen week after week to this pastors' sermons and opinions. It's understandable that a church member may not agree with everything that their pastor utters, but it's another to be a continual part of a congregation that agreeingly slaps him on the back as he spews his most controversial & hateful comments.

What possible good could come from interviewing this racist, hatemongering preacher again? When Sean Hannity interviewed him, he was totally arrogant, would not answer questiions and talked over Hannity and acted like the impolite, egotistical jerk he is. Why would you want to give him more exposure to try to justify his racist, anti-American ideaology? I also question why you invite all the "African Americans" guests who will not answer your questions and spew their ridiculous justifications for the despicable statements made by Mr. Wright. I believe that Barack Obama is dangerous due to his obvious reluctance to disavow or distance himself from this anti-American mentor and I also believe it is imperative to try to get a copy of Michele Obama's Thesis while at Princeton in order to know how she hates our wonderful country that was reflected when she admitted never being proud of the USA until her husband's success in the running for the nomination for the Presidency. How can any American feel confident in having someone whose allegiance to our country is so in question be our Commander in Chief??????? Just the fact that he will not wear a pin of our country's flag or say the Pledge of Allegiance to our country, speaks VOLUMNS !!!!!!!!!

Had the tables been turned and this message been preached from a predominantly white church, I think the out cry would have been extremely different. The NAACP, Jessie Jackson, and Al Sharpton (notice Rev is not in front of their names) would be outraged, demand an immediate apology, and call for the preacher to be stripped from the pulpit.
Where is the NAACP and Jessie. I’ve only seen one interview with Al. Greta, you and Glenn Beck are only a few that seem to be appropriately outraged for this blatant racism. I agree with the folks above, it is racism and I WANT A FREAKING APOLOGY!!!! More so than that, I want to see the NAACP, Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton to be hounded for their “lack of leadership” in the black community. They need to be hounded for their hiding on this issue. We always see these folks out when stupid white people make racial comments. Where are they now??? This is a huge issue among the Americans, and it is ludicrous to think anything different. Most in the media are trying to sweep this under the rug. Thank God for FOX News, at least they have not rolled over on this RACIAL issue. Rev Wright made angry, racial slurs from the pulpit. Shame on you Rev Wright, the leader of this church. Shame on Barack Obama for his lack of judgment in allowing this man to be his “spiritual leader” for 20+ years. This issue really questions Obama’s character and discernment that are certinaly necessary for the president of the U.S.A. Oboma, you’ll never get my vote!!!

I'm ready to scream!!! Our first amendment rights are in jeopardy, because as soon as we say anything about another religion, we're labeled racists and bigots. Frankly, I'm tired of this. We are misimformed about the hatred and violence taught by the Islam faith. It is the mission of every Muslim to find all the infidels and kill them. I don't know whether Obama is Muslim but he grew up in a Muslim home, and those roots might be strong. The fact that he associates with a person who in his own statement didn't do enough to terrorize the US, scares me. Did you know that anybody who practices the the Islam faith (Muslims) has engrained in their brain that the infidels must be obliterated. To the Muslims--the infidels are anybody who is not Muslim--especially the Jews and Christians. There a pockets of Muslims throughout the U.S. (yes, right here) that were secretly cheering about the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and all the other attacks that the Islamic terrorist groups take credit for. But, out on the streets in front of the general public, pretended to be sad and terrified by it. Muslims are the fastest growing reliqion in the World and before we know it, they'll have enough population within the U.S. to elect our President. Pretty scary!!!!! *** Vote for McCain***...He's the only one right on foreign policy!!! This is AMERICA and our great country was founded on CHRISTIAN beliefs.

It is so,so, sickening that all we have to talk about is Rev. Wright's comment. If you want to know what goes on in Black Churches, get up Sunday and attend one. Folks ,why are a lot of you so surprised? Most racism is in churches. How many of you go to a predominately black church. If we were all so non-racist we would reach out to all races and want to go to churches that represent America. How dare we question what people say in their churches. I think this is simply a ploy by the republican media to destroy Obama in any way they can. I ask you in all honesty,who is being racist. Why don't you have a poll that ask, "Is the media responsible for a lot of the problems and division in these pesidential primary races . How do you guys rest at night with a clear mind. Oh, I forgot, it's your jobs! The media is doing an over-kill. The people are becoming bored and will see you for what you are. Enough already. Obama all the way guys!!! He is for the people, all people.

What a pair? Obama and Rev. Wright. A minister, that is if you want to call him one, who preaches hate, dispises white, Jewish Italians, and damns
America, and Obama who listens to this trash for 20 Years, and doesn't denounce him, but has no problem putting down his grandmother. What do they say about birds of a feather, flock together. Obamas' bird was Reznor,
the soon to be jailbird who conveniently made a charitable gift that consumated the purchase of their present residence. Wouldn't we all like those type of friends. "I showed him the property prior to the purchase. Why?
For what purpose? Why didn't you show it to your grandma, a typical white person? Then we have the Reverend. After 30 years of preaching, he is having
a modest 10,000 sq.ft. home built. After you hear the details of the financ epackage, I think its time the IRS looks into Trinitys' operation.

Forget Rev.Wright's comments...just look at the Church's website and doctrine...it is a black separatist doctrine..the Obamas have supported this Church for 20+ years...they obviously support the doctrine or they would not be members. How can a black separatist lead our Country towards "one nation under God"... he communicates CHANGE but yet after a 20+ year relationship with his pastor, he has not been able to CHANGE Rev. Wright's views he says he does not support, how can you expect him to CHANGE the minds of strangers?

Greta, I don't want to hear any excuses for his racist, anti-American rants. There is no way to put those words into a context that will make them sound rational and justified. I would listen to a sincere apology that admits that what he said was wrong and BEGS for forgiveness.

Greta, when you go to church you are taught to love one another, to be understanding of one another, you are taught kindness, caring and to be tolerant of one another. You also learn about God and Jesus' teachings.

What in the world does Wright's church teach? From what I saw, nothing but racism, and hatred being spewed from Wright's mouth. Turn that around and let a white Pastor say this about blacks, we would never hear the end of it, ever. (very, very unfair.)
I am so sick of the whining and racist comments of some of these black leaders about the past and what is owed to black people. Stop it! It's getting old and ridiculous. It's time to let go, teach love, understanding and move the heck on.

The hatred that spewed out of Wright's mouth was despicable. This kind of preaching, if you want to call it that, is why some black people cannot move on. It is literally thrown in their faces over and over again. Why is Wright brainwashing his congregation to be hate-mongers like him? Wright is a pathetic person. I'm sick of the "out of context" remarks from all these pastors and people defending this hateful man. You must think we are all stupid listening to your ridiculous remarks defending Wright. The man is "nuts."

I do not believe Obama. He has not told the truth. Obama admires Wright, a person he has listened to in church for 20 years and hasn't heard any of Wright's garbage talk. Amazing, isn't it?!? Don't tell me that Obama didn't know what was going on. Does he expect us to believe him. Many want this man to be President of the US. I definitely don't. Just knowing that move-on.org is backing him is scary enough.

I agree with Phil (#1). Greta, if you have Wright on your show you have to have Obama on also and sitting next to Wright.

Greta, I love your show. You at least have the guts to find out the truth and give
us the people the truth. Greta and Fox News Rocks!!!!!!

CONGRATS SONYA

I KNOW THERE IS NO WAY TO SAY MY COMMENTS WITHOUT SEEMING RACIST. AS SONYA STATED THE BLACK EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA IS UNLIKE ANYTHING THAT ANY PERSON ON THIS PLANET HAS EXPERIENCED. PEOPLE PF IRISH DECENT TALK ABOUT THE DISCRIMINATION THEY ENDURED, ITALIANS AND EVERY POSSIBLE ETHNICITY TELL THERE STORY.
THEY DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE. WE WERE BROUGHT HERE IN CHAINS,
WHITE AMERICA CASTRATED OUR MEN RAPED OUR WOMEN IN FRONT OF US SEPERATED FAMILIES, TARRED AND FEATHERED OUR MEN AND WOMEN FOR THE PURE FUN OF IT.
HERE'S WHAT WHITE AMERICA JUST DOES NOT GET.

I CONSTANTLY HEAR IT WAS NOT ME OR MY FAMILY THAT ABUSED YOU.
I AM TIRED OF BLACK FOLKS COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED 400 YEARS AGO.

HERE ARE UNREFUTABLE FACTS.
97% OF CORPORATE AMERICA IS RUN BY WHITE MALES
THIS IS DUE TO THE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION OF THE PAST.
WHITE AMERICA CONTINUES TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF PAST DISCRIMINATION.
THAT IS A FACT
OF COURSE THERE ARE WHITE AMERICANS THAT ARE SUFFERING DUE TO ECONOMICS AND A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER ISSUES.
THAT IS WHY FOLKS SUCH AS RUSH AND SEAN PLAY TO THEIR AUDIENCE
BY INJECTING LITTLE BITS OF VENOM THAT APPEAL TO THE FEARS AND EMOTIONS OF WHITE AMERICA.
OF COURSE YOU DO NOT OWN BLACKS ANYTHING PERSONALLY.
BUT WHITE AMERICA OVERALL BENEFITS JUST BY BEING WHITE.

THE PLAYING FIELD CAN NEVER BE LEVELED BECAUSE YOU HAVE A 400 YEAR HEAD START.
IDIOTS POINT OUT THE ACCOMPLISMENTS OF COLIN POWELL, CONDELIZA AND MAYBE A HANDFUL OF OTHER TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL BLACKS.
THESE PERSONS REPRESENT MAYBE ONE HALF OF ONE PERCENT.
RATHER THAN ACCEPT THE FACTS ANGRY WHITE PEOPLE RESORT TO INSULTING US, TELLING US TO GO BACK TO AFRICA AND POINT OUT OUR AREAS OF FAILURE.
IT IS STATISICALLY DOCUMENTED WHITES COMMIT MORE CRIME THAN BLACKS.
BUT THIS IS NOT THE POINT OF MY COMMENTS.
BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT STATE OF WHERE WE ARE AND I WILLSAY UNDERSTANDABLY
WHEN A WHITE MAN IS UNEMPLOYED IT IS EASY TO PLANT A SEED THAT THERE ARE SET ASIDES FOR BLACKS AND THAT MAKES THAT WHITE BECOME ANGRY.
AND YES THAT PERSON SAYS WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED 400 YEARS AGO.
THIS IS WHAT BLACK AMERICA CONTENTS WITH EVERYDAY.
I WOULD ALSO ADMIT IF THE SITUATION WERE REVERSED AND BLACKS RAN CORPORATE AMERICA WE WOULD BE DOING THE VERY SAME THING THAT WHITE AMERICA IS DOING. BUT WE DONT.

I WOULD ONLY ASK THAT WHITE AMERICA TRULY LEARN ABOUT WHAT AMERICA HAS HISTORICALLY DONE TO BLACK AMERICA AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE FEEL AS WE DO.

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.

Sign the petition at: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/countFLoridaandMichigan

All the furor created by visibility of the "Wright Sound Bites" is doing a lot to sensitize non-black America to the anger that thrives in a large important sector of the black race.

Some of us believe this kind of purging and sensitization will benefit all of America and make us a stronger and better Nation.

I just hope Reverend Wright will use your show to continue his ministry. but spin it just a bit to help us understand.

I believe he is a great man, with a message that is needed amongst all who love America as their home. I hope that there can be a way for him to convey that message beyond his own oppressed race.

Keep going Greta this is a wonderful opportunity for your show and us other loyal Americans.

Very Respectfully,

To G.P #370: I appreciate your honest comments, and the fact that you are a person of color and not defending Rev. Wright and his racist remarks is refreshing for me to read. It pains me to hear the Black community say that Rev. Wright is "misunderstood" or "his words were taken out of context." What Rev. Wright said was truly offensive and racist to me, a white female, and there is no other way to interpret what was said. Rev. Wright would do a great healing to himself, and all of us that were so offended by his remarks if he would take responsibility for what he said by acknowledging his wrong doing and apologize...what a great way to retire! YES, I would love to watch the interview and allow for call in questions from viewers. Come on Rev...the truth will set you free! P.S. Shame on you #47!!!

Greta let's not give Wright any more press-he does not matter and is just a lunatic. Obama, however, is a possible President and his background needs to be looked at long and hard, his associates, his friends, his money dealings and his voting record scrutinized. I think the Wright thing is serious, but we are all sick of hearing him spew his hate-he is so full of himself and full of crap.We need to keep the focus on Obama before its too late!

Obama is a brilliant orator and has spoken himself out of the situation he finds himself in regarding HIS reverend and HIS church. Are we too dumb to see that? Clinton on the other hand is not smart enough to know that the actual events in Bosnia were recorded! Did she think that all present at the time are dead? John Mccain is the only decent one of the bunch. He reflects the true values of the American people.

If not you, then Hillary's campaign should ask Obama to expose Michelle' Obama's thesis and plahy it over and over on Fox as freedom of speech implies, and any other writings that reflect the "couples" hatred for the United States of America country that got them to where they are attemping to overtake with out taxes. I agree with the previous comment who suggested these racists should go back to Africa if they believe in the message of hatred of white people and these "Black Speeches" that are made in "Black Churches". Excuse me? I thought discrimination based on race was....outlawed? When is sen wright going to be prosecuted for hate crimes? and obama for conspiring in the plot of the hate crime???

2008-03-27 23:56:05 ET

What a pair? Obama and Rev. Wright. A minister, that is if you want to call him one, who preaches hate, dispises white, Jewish Italians, and damns
America, and Obama who listens to this trash for 20 Years, and doesn't denounce him, but has no problem putting down his grandmother. What do they say about birds of a feather, flock together. Obamas' bird was Reznor,
the soon to be jailbird who conveniently made a charitable gift that consumated the purchase of their present residence. Wouldn't we all like those type of friends. "I showed him the property prior to the purchase. Why?
For what purpose? Why didn't you show it to your grandma, a typical white person? Then we have the Reverend. After 30 years of preaching, he is having
a modest 10,000 sq.ft. home built. After you hear the details of the finance package, I think its time the IRS looks into Trinitys' operation. This person is
to be a man of God, and yet what he spreds is the word of hate & racisim. I
wonder how many of his poor people in Trinity are aware of the style of living he entertains. He could learn about Chrsitianity, and giving, from Rev. Billy
Graham. Then we have Hilary. What can you say that she hasn't said, or did, according to what day it is. To sum it up, the democrats have something to really look forward to in November. If you are brain dead, want your taxes
raised, that doesn't effect only the wealthy, and you like more programs, so the dead beats can still look for handouts, and want either a pathological liar or someone that not only doesn't know right from wrong, not to mention "NO Experience" , then pick your "STIFF". You demos can'tget it right.

Rev. Wright was only repeating what was said by an AMERICAN AMBASSADOR WHO IS WHITE.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/21/meet-the-white-man-who-_n_92793.html. Rev. Wright don't want to come back on Fox only to have them to show bits and parts...taking out of context what he really said. Also, why did we hear little or nothing about an AMERICAN DIPLOMAT, who is SUPPOSE to defend AMERICA when he said, why WAS NO ISSUE MADE?

REV.W. spoke about government'black genocide.
President Clinton's apology for the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment to the eight remaining survivors, May 16, 1997. HERE ARE OTHER cases of black genocide:For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis.THE NEWS COUNT ON THE PUBLIC NOT KNOWING OUR HISTORY. SO if this happened 36yrs ago, and lasted for 40 yrs, what is so shocking about BLACKS believing it can happen again with AIDS. that is the rev. was talking about and is talking about it being RACIST? FOX knows all of this! THEY ARE MANIPULATING the public to vote for HILARY, someone whom they believe they can beat because many republicans and many democrats hate or despises her. Why would they want OBAMA to leave his church? ANOTHER manipulation because a lot of churches have things going on that some people don't like or agree with but they don't leave for various reasons. Mostly, I like the singing in my church. THE CHOIRS ARE SO UPLIFTING, my family have belonged to that church long before the present minister ever came... and yes, sometimes my minister says things I disagree with, BUT I HAVE A MIND OF MY OWN; HE CANNOT MANIPULATE ME as the news are doing some otherwise intelligent voters.

UNICEF Nigerian Polio Vaccine Contaminated with Sterilizing Agents Scientist Finds
Scientist says things discovered in vaccines are "harmful, toxic"
WHAT DOES THIS SOUND LIKE?
De-population should be the highest priority of US foreign policy towards the Third World.¡± This sentence formed the hard backbone of NSSM 200. The memo went on to state that ¡°Reduction of the rate of population in these States [Third World nations] is a matter of vital US national security.¡± Why? Simply because ¡°The US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries.¡± In stating this the focus was exclusively, on the economic interests of the US.
The arrogant and cynical mindset that underscored Kissinger¡¯s document was nothing new. Third World citizens merely continued to be viewed as useless, lazy degenerates. Years earlier, in 1932, cancer experiments were undertaken by Cornelius Rhoades, then chief pathologist of the Rockerfeller Institute. The experiments involved deliberately infecting a number of Puerto Ricans with cancer. Thirteen died as a consequence. Rhoades explained away the experiments with the comment: ¡°The Porto(sic) Ricans are the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievesh race of men ever inhabiting this sphere¡­ I have done my best to further the process of extermination by killing off eight and transplanting cancer into several more.AND THIS:The drug,
Quinacrine, was widely used in third world mass sterilisation programmes - often
concealed as clinical trials.¡± Even though the World Health Organisation had warned the drug was unfit for humans, these trials continued with funding provided by private US foundations - concerned at the US national security threat of growing the third world population. Another drug, Norplant, was similarly used as a prolonged birth control vaccine in the poorest nations of the world.This led one health worker to bitterly state "It's cheaper for them [America] to use Third World women than to use an animal in a lab!"

I changed my mind--come to think of it, It would be best not to give the Wright guy a platform to spew more hatred and somehow attempt to justify any of his statements. He's the type that would absolutely not shut up and make sure his views are heard. Well, we've already heard his hate-mongering views. Heis the absolute epitome of Anit-Americanism. I can't believe we would consider placing Obama, a man who sat and listened to this stuff for 20 years and referred to this man (Wright) as his "spiritual mentor and the man who has had the most influence on my adult life" as the Democratic nominee---unbelievable. I thought the Democratic Party was smarter than that!

It would be a better county without you and others like you who are so unhappy here and do nothing but whine and create problems. To Wright and all others who hate America, leave the wonderful USA and live somewhere else in the world. All of these lefties and liberals who hate American will never leave because they have all the freedoms here that other countries don't. They wouldn't stand a chance in other countries.

Talking about Rev Wright and Obama's church is of much concern to millions of American, as well it should be. Yes, we all have freedom of press, etc., but the question is do we really want a PRESIDENT who attends a church that is anti-American, hates whites, Jews, and now Italians?

Italians are Jesus haters, I don't think so. He has lot the biggest population of Catholic voters, the biggest population of Jews, and the majority of the white vote.

Who does this man like? I have gone to many black churches, and never, never have heard hate preached from the pulpit. I don't care how you spin, black or white, it is totally not acceptable to preach this hatred in a church.

We go to church to learn the word of God, and no where in the bible does it tell you to hate any one. We go to church to learn how to love one another, and to live a better life.

Spin it however you want it church is not the place for this rhetoric.

He can be interweaved with or without J.Wright, I would never believed him and never trust him. Why Ophrah left the church and Obama,not.Sure,Ophrah didn't need J.Wrights political help,but Obama needed a "push". Greta, why no TV, channel would go to: http://reskowatch.blogspot,com.,there,you can read about Obama and his past. It's very disturbing. Also,read the Tribun Biography,there you also can find so many thinks he clame which are not true.But the media is silent and trash Hillarys Bosnia trip,like the biggest crime of the year.For me is not a big deal.Tell me only one politician, who never bended the truth. But as I said,if Hillary makes the smallest misstep, the media is crucifying her. Obama has a free pass,even with J.Wright, which is not fair.

Such language like G D should never be spoken in Church. Regardless of what the whole sentence was or what was said before or after. I have no respect for the preacher. That's not Christianity. What happened to forgiveness. He does not forgive or forget the past. The main basis of the religion. He is teaching hatred and discrimination.

greta you probably heard that 10% of people (black and white, etc) think Obama is Muslim......the internet has more on Obama using the Kuran when he was sworn into the Senate.....also Obama turned his back to the flag and slouched, and refused to recognize the flag...... some believe the Christian church is a political decision to hide being Muslim...

As someone who has seen the body language that accompanied Rev. Wright's "God DAMN America" remarks I'd like to challenge some screen writer to invent ANY context that could nullify them. He is too intelligent not to realize that if his critique had used the word "government" instead of "America" it would not have been memorable - or caused any consternation. I would have walked out if the pastor had been my own brother, (not just an "uncle"). Yes, I know Sen. Obama likely was not present, but he must have heard about it.) How naive have Americans become this year? I find it incredible (and VERY scary) that anyone with Sen. Obama's past could become our President with all the powers of that office & unlimited security clearance. How can this be a risk worth taking? Greta, have you thought about doing some historical programming re Malcolm X, Minister Farrakahn (sp?), etc. for your viewers who may too young to be knowledgeable about what they stood for?

I think all you people that have these built up and charged emotions need to get A Grip on your own personal lives, stop and think about the things you have done and said in your personal lives that did and would not past the test of public discourse. If you have any level of education you would be begging to hear the speech in it's full unedited state so that you can comprehend the truth of what he was saying and not the sound bites that have distorted your entire reality. Be Fair listen and learn what you don't understand instead of putting up mental brick walls holding yours eyes shut and being sppon fed by what we know to be a corrupt media hype. Think how our humanity works, we have a heard mentally that can do more damage if we don't learn to calm down and understand all of our rich cultures and differences, don't be led into hate by edited video, bleeps and blurps. Remeber there is only ONE race and it's called Human with a rich core of cultures.

Keep that in mind also Greta remeber Fox is fair and balanced. ;)

Predictions of God's damnation emanate from both black and white churches

Would God ever damn America? Is there anything we have done or could do as a nation that might court such severe judgment from an almighty, or is there a peculiar American exemption from God's wrath? The prediction of God's damnation for bad behavior is made in both black and white churches.

Clearly, no less an authority on such matters than the Rev. Pat Robertson, who didn't think the latter when he blamed the ravaging effects of Hurricane Katrina on the Lord's retribution toward those who "shed innocent blood." Robertson's reference to legalized abortion cited a passage from Leviticus that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright also might have been noting when he sermonized: "The government ... wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," a reference to African Americans sacrificed on ghetto streets.

While the "innocents" about whom they spoke are different, the scriptural reference seems to be the same. As Robertson put it, preserved in a video clip posted on the Internet by Media Matters: "I was reading yesterday... about what God has to say in the Old Testament about those who shed innocent blood...'the land will vomit you out,' " which he related to attacks "either by terrorists or now by natural disaster."

Robertson, a firm ally of Republican administrations, has not always warmed to the presumed GOP presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain, although the two recently have mended their strained relationship. However, in this season of pastor baiting, McCain has his own problem, having expressed his thrill in receiving "the endorsement of Pastor John Hagee."

Hagee, citing a planned "homosexual parade," had previously told National Public Radio that Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment of the people of New Orleans for "a level of sin that was offensive to God." Obviously, the almighty with whom Hagee is on intimate terms is in need of MapQuest, given that New Orleans' gay neighborhoods were among the ones least impacted by the hurricane.

Hagee long has been denounced by Catholics for labeling the Vatican "The Great Whore" and blaming Hitler's genocidal policies on his having "attended a Catholic school as a child." The one that has some current relevance to the Iraq disaster is Hagee's blasting the Roman Catholic Church for sponsoring the Crusades, which "plunged the world into the Dark Ages."

In a warning that imperial adventures lose some of their luster with the passage of time, Hagee wrote in his book, "Jerusalem Countdown": "The brutal truth is that the Crusades were military campaigns of the Roman Catholic Church to gain control of Jerusalem from the Muslims and to punish the Jews as the alleged Christ killers on the road to and from Jerusalem." What will future theologians say about Bush's crusade to liberate Iraq, shedding the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocents?

I know what the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. would say were he alive today, for it would be consistent with his denunciation of the Vietnam War in a sermon at New York's Riverside Church a year before his assassination. Recounting his difficulty in spreading the message of nonviolence and personal responsibility to the very ghetto youth that the Rev. Wright has worked with for four decades, King stated, "I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clear

No i would not like to see an interview with the racist idiot. The man has had too much media attention already. I guess the media has to expose him because of Obama. Obama is saying he would of quit the church if the rev would of continued being the rev. What a joke, does he expect us to believe him? Why didn't he stop going to the church like twenty years ago? The rev was not only the rev at the church , but he is also Obama's friend. Why would anybody want to hear what Obama has to say about race etc anyway? What do you expect him to say? Of course he is gonna deny his racist and un american attitudes.

Greta, I think an extensive interview with Rev. Wright would be a good idea. However, I recommend that you seek out a true man of God, one who correctly devides the WORD to be part of the interview. There is a possibility that some people might associate this man (Rev. Wright) with real Chiristianity. I would also like him to explain his Black Doctrine to the rest of the Country. The church is known as the Body of Christ. And when the head is sick, the body is sick! If JW has some deep wounds from the past, he needs to be delivered! I can't believe he isn't! And what's worse even, is that he is supposed to be helping others find healing and deliverence. Instead he is passing his bondages of unforgiveness, hate, intitlement to name a few down to future generations. I think that it would make a very interesting documentry investigating these so called "Black Churches".

Why should Rev. Wright "explain himself". What does he have to explain? Fox News is taking him out of context simply to gain ratings and earn commercial time dollars. It is as simple as this folks...look no further.

Fox News is doing America a huge disservice by running these five-second sound bytes of Rev. Wright. Rev. Wright is a good man. He is a man of faith and a spiritual leader.

Fox News and the other mainstream media is the cause for so much of the hate and anger we have against our fellow Americans.

It is time to turn of Fox News. They are causing us to hate one another folks...can't you see this?

Please people...we are Americans, all of us, and The United States of America.

We need to stop letting Fox News and the mainstream media tear us apart. We are one, united, together, and the greatest nation on earth!!!

I am having a hard time figuring out the difference between a person who
attends Pastor Wright's church for twenty years, and a person who attended
for twenty years, Pastor Butler's Aryan Nation Church in Northern Idaho.

Both Pastors preached bigoted, anti American government, racist, vile
garbage.

Is there any difference between congregation members, other than the color
of their skin? Both pastors preached hate and racism. Members who accept
that kind of hate and racism as truth, will sit and listen for twenty years.
Those who are disgusted by it will walk out.

What is the difference between Pastor Wright and the Grand Wizard of the
KKK?

What is the difference between congregation members of each church, other
than the color of the skin of the people they hate?

While I agree it would be enlightening to see an in-depth interveiw with Rev. Wright sitting across from Sen. Obama, the odds of this are probably infintesimal. That said, I recommend a complete playing of the "G-D" interview portions (specifically including the lead in to the remarks), as well as other interviews followed by an in-depth interview of Rev. Wright lasting between 30 and 45 minutes.

Bill
2008-03-28 01:17:58 ET

Laura,

I hereby call you out as an anti-American, anti-Christian fear monger. How do you respond to this? Would you like to do an interview to explain to America that you are none of these things? Should you make a public statement denying something that others put into your mouth?

Laura, please don't take the Faux News at face value. They are simply trying to create drama to sell air time, period. They will say, do, act, and plea anything in order to outshine the competition. This is not a news outlet, it is a tabloid. It really is.

You really shouldn't believe everything you hear, especially from Fox News for God's sake.

Read between the lines, think for yourself, do your own research, and draw your own conclustions.

And don't chase the tail that is wagging the dog my friend :)

Peace to all of my fellow Americans. United We Stand, Divided We Fall...

2008-03-28 01:18:13 ET

Greta, I've heard one of Rev. Wright's message in its entirety and I think the rest of the world needs to hear it also. The media has taken bits and portions and used it to inflame this situation and its ridiculous. I've been hoping that some of you guys would be responsible enough to take at least one message or how ever many and play the entire thing. I think this is only fair and then people can make a fair assessment. Not only that....you all have put people lives on the line with this game you're playing.

2008-03-28 01:19:32 ET

Rev. Wright is not only a racist, he prevents the advancement of African Americans by creating an environment of fear that the government and white race are trying to hold them back. Have you ever looked at how many AA's work at the government? Obama is showing his "colors" by his associations with Wright and the racist remarks his wife has made in the past. Obama would have been my pick before I saw the flock of birds he flys with. Hillary is the icon of corruption (Peter Paul, etc) so I predict that these 2 have already lost the race to the republicans!

stacy
2008-03-28 01:20:28 ET

first of all this instead of being outright racial the media is trying to find anything they can to degrade obama. this is a racial america and as a black woman you would have to be black to understand. also listening to 1 min of different parts of his speech is unfair. face is he is a very well educated black man and if he was white we would not have this problem. Hillary says she would have quit the church but her husband was having sexual relations with another woman in the oval office and I see she did not leave him.

Mikey
2008-03-28 01:20:36 ET

As a "Typical White Woman" as characterized by Barack Obama, I have absolutely no interest in seeing or listening to Mr. Wright (I find it difficult to address him as a Reverand, because of his hatefulness). His fifteen minutes have long been up. The media should ignore this hate-monger. Let him go off into the darkness. We have heard enough from this ignorant man. Sound bites, magazine articles, etc. It is enough. Obama should have distanced himself years ago from this man. For him to allow his children to sit in a 'church' and listen to the rantings of an obvious racist man, is beyond comprehension and leaves me with the belief that Obama, who has he has stated "was raised by two women. But I am grounded in the African community", believes what the supposed preacher spouts.

I cannot believe that in 2008, race is being played again, only opposite than in the 1800's. Now whites are being discriminated against. They are too frightened to speak up and say anything ill against Obama for fear they will be called 'racist'. Obama is getting the black vote and the white vote, from those that think it is more liberal to ignore his color of skin. He is not black, nor is he white. He is a mix, yet he only claims his black heritage. Odd, his mother and grandmother, both white, raised him, because his black father, left the family when he was young. Oh wait, would that make Obama's father "A typical black man" because he like many other black men, leave their family. Not sure that would be a politically correct thing to say. Heaven forbid if a white would say such a thing, they would be 'marked' for racism.

What Obama said about his grandmother is no different than what Don Imus said about Rutger's women's b-ball team, yet Obama is excused for his racist statement just as the so - called Reverand is. Reverse racism at best.

Why isn't something being said about taxing the obama/wright church. All they talk about is politics and hate for anyone that is not like them. My church is all about loving all people and God. Stop tap dancing and tax churches like obama/wright. The IRS would tax any white Rev. for having a political church and should have that same standard for the Wright/Obama church.

Jennifer
2008-03-28 01:21:51 ET

I would also like to see the Rev.'s sermons in their entirety - I don't think it is fair to show only the most shocking bits and pieces without letting us see the full context.
Furthermore, I would like to know - as long as we are talking about race, why is Obama the only one who has to defend himself as far as this issue is concerned? Did no one else think it was the least bit disturbing when Romney did his little, "Who let the dogs out? Who, who?" routine?
I think we need to see a little more fairness and balance on the news.

Jim
2008-03-28 01:21:55 ET

Jody Blackburn,

You really need to hear his entire sermon and you will see how truly out of context Fox is taking it.

Seriously, do yourself a favor and listen to it and then draw your OWN conclusions.

Don't let Fox think for you...you owe it to yourself to form your own conclusions my friend.

This is the prime example why Michelle and her husband, you know the guy running for president, feel the way they do. She has not been proud of the USA until just the last few weeks and her husband will not put his hand over his heart during the pledge. Rev. Wright has done a good job on those two. Obama can't be trusted to tell the truth. He didn't but then he did hear the things Rev. Wright has said. He will say anything to get the people to beleave him now.

Melinda Harris-Jackson
2008-03-28 01:24:14 ET

While I would welcome an in-depth interview with Rev. Wright, I am more interested in seeing the sermons in question played in its entirety on your news station. I have seen them and I must say that I was deeply moved by his candor and integrity regarding the word of God. It's painful to realize that this country has done so much damage to the world, in the name of God and power, but it's true. If one listens or watches his sermons with an open heart and mind, I believe that he would be better understood and appreciated for his honesty. He didn't lie; the truth just hurts. Play the entire sermon; it may exonerate your news station from being a biased, bigoted source of news, as well. God bless us all.

CHRIS
2008-03-28 01:24:17 ET

Obama said that Reverend Wright was his "mentor", to me a mentor is someone who you look up to, share the same values with, someone who you wish you could be like. That scares me that someone who looks up to Reverend Wright might be the one to pick up the phone in the middle of the night.

2008-03-28 01:25:01 ET

Yes I would like to see the whole sermon that reveren Wright has said and I completely agree with that pastor you had on tonight as I believe Fox news has really done an injustice here with only showing just snippets of his sermons not that what he said was inexcusable it is not but I do believe you should show the entire thing in context. Just to be fair you say your news program is suppose to be fair and balanced well then prove it and don't act this way. I feel you have been trying to condemn Barack for this he did not say it. I was a supporter of Hillary but have since changed to obama. I do believe him when he says he was not in church when these several statements were spoken, he also said he had heard incindiary remarks from him before and he did not always agree with what he had to say, give him the benefit of the doubt unless someone can prove otherwise which I am sure FOX news has been scouring the sermons tapes to see if they can crucify him.
By the way Greta I have always loved your show I watch it every night I will not however watch Mr Hannity ever again because of this thing with Reverend Wright. But I will still watch you. Thank you For all the good you do do. Virginia in Montana

#809 Bill - What do you think that they had a puppet, that looks like Wright, mimicking hateful words? I pity you having your head in the sand. I realize its hard accepting such hateful truths, but truths they are even though you'd like to spin it another way. Why don't you go and listen to the sentences he states. He thinks the kkk runs to the whitehouse. That white people injected blacks with the aids virus. To think that Fox is somehow conjuring this stuff up for ratings is by far the most ignorant, koolaid drinking, rant I've heard. Are you an attendee of Wrights church? If you are than I might understand? Or were you with Fahrakahn on his space ship?? Oh boy, I'm going to bed!!!!!!!! AND NO = I WOULD NOT WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER SICKENING FILTHY WORD OR ANY JUSTIFICATION FOR IT FROM WRIGHTS OR OBAMA'S MOUTH. NO CHURCH I'VE EVER BEEN TO HAS EVER NEVER SPOKEN SUCH CRAP. I'D BE GONE DURING THE 1ST SENTENCE AND MIGHT I ADD NEVER RETURN.

See this is why I hate Religion period, it is the one thing from the beginning of the bible all the way till present day that has divided men and caused many wars, that have not done anything but tally up the deaths. From the time of Cain and Able fighting about how to worship and give thanks for grain to who has the better version of copied and edited text and rituals. It's absolutely amazing how stupid religion is with all this ridiculous division among men. If God or Jesus was real we would be worshipping under the same roof and there would be no White or Black church. If the scriptures that people go to learn were right then this Shit would not be happening now right? I thought God and Jesus taught forgiveness and love among one another? I guess that is just a bold face lie after reading all this hateful garbage with people still referencing Religion. I here at this time reject all religions of any type for I can see now none of them follow the teachings that they preach in any church none of them! If they did then slavery would have never happened, and this ridiculous sound bite story would have never happened. Religion has caused us to go to a stupid war over what some other person believes after interpreting their understanding of copied and edited text. what a foolish world we live in.

All politican considerations aside, if you are willing to publisize and critisize the comments of a any man, let alone a man of the cloth, you should include those comments in their entirety. As of late i have seen nothing fair or balanced about your coverage on this matter, and if you are going to advertize just that, then you should be willing to do so.

Lynn
2008-03-28 01:26:44 ET

Why don't you have a joint interview, Rev Wright sitting and John Hagee sitting side by side. You can ask Rev. Wright explain his comments and Hagee can explain why he hates Catholics and actively preaches against and demonized them. I guess hate speech is tolerated selectively on Fox.

Rev.Wright would probably lie. I don't believe anything he would say now or Obama. They would do or say anything to get Obama the nomination. To little to late. In the beginning of Obama's campaign he spoke of all the things he was going to do for the black people. He did not mention Americans. I just disappointed that it took the media this long to cover the real story about Obama and his FRIENDS. The are very racist and unamerican. What would happen to our country if someone like Obama was president. He would not be loyal to Americans. America would be in grave danger. Greta please don't give up defending Americans. I'm just sick to see how others have become traitors to America. Wright should not be allowed to enjoy the freedom of our country if he hates us so. If there are treats against him, he probably started the treats himself to take the pressure off of him and Obama. Or Obama did it himself. I do not trust them and I never trusted Obama. He has lied from the beginning just to win votes. Please pray for our country. We need to stand together and strong against this evil force that treats us. Thank you.

#831 Jim - Its called common sense. When one is liberal one can not see bias if it hit them between the nose. I'm so glad that you seem to be so much smarter than the rest of us because you listen to PBS. I'm bowing now Jim, as you seem to wish us to do. All the schooling in the world Jim, won't help if you have NO COMMON SENSE! Too much koolaid I dare think.

It doesn't matter what else Wright said, or how many good deeds he has done.

Hitler, a dispicable, hateful racist, also did some good things for some people. Not many, but Wright hasn't done that many either.

Even if Wright had said only half of the disgusting things he has already said, he is a racist pig. Wright should be and is shunned by all intelligent people.

wright proves that black men can be just as mean spirited and hateful as a white man. You could excuse wright if he had no education and was a bum on the street, however, he is preaching in the church. Wright does not deserve the title of Rev. He is just another hateful person that makes big bucks while being a racist. No different than an white slave owner. Plus he gets the money tax free. Wright knows that if the people who follow realize that there is no racism by white people in this day and age, then he will be out of a job. Also, where is the evidence that Wright and his family are being threatened. Most likely another lie by Wright to get people up in arms. He is nothing more than a bully and a coward who is hiding. Tax that church for being political and not religious. The Bible says "do unto others as you would have them do to you." It doesn't say that inflame the masses and make them hate each other. The Bible also says that you can know who the false prophets are by what they say and do. Obama thinks of this false prophet as his father. So that shows you who Obama follows and it certainly isn't God of the Christian Bible.

#830 Lynn Its called "reporting". Most of us want to know the true facts and ALL the facts for electing someone to the highest post in this beloved USA. If whom you idolize isn't important, just go in the booth, close your eyes and press a button. Somethings that = truth and fact are often hard to swallow.

Jim
2008-03-28 01:33:51 ET

Well...WAAAAYY to many of you are WAAAYYY too ready to burn Rev. Wright at the stake! And without even listening to his entire sermon?!?!

This is why I hate religion, organized religion anyway.

And for God's sakes AT LEAST LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE REV. WRIGHT SPEECH PEOPLE BEFORE YOU GO OFF THE DEEP END! I know 20 minutus of self-educating may be too much to ask from some of you.

If Jesus landed here tomorrow you would have him up on the cross by Saturday afternoon.

Thank God I'm an Athiest!

May we all get what we deserve...

No I do not want to listen to anything That rascist SOB has to say. because I am sure he would tell one lie after another. The man hates White people and that is that. And as for as Obama to sit there for 20 years and listen to this person
preach the word of god . What a joke a true preacher does not preach Hate nor does he call our government uncle Toms, and speak hatred of the people in the whitehouse. This church breads nothing but hatred towards the whites.
And I believe Obama will say any thing to get his foot in the white house. What
else can he say. He all ready lied about sitting in church when Mr. Wright preached this kind of sermon. What a bunch of crap that is..........

Jeanne Elder

Corrine
2008-03-28 01:38:51 ET

The only way Wrights snippets wouldn't be objectionable is when he stated that white people injected blacks with the aids virus, is if it was preceeded by "I don't believe that" or if "G.. Damn American" was preceeded by "It is despicable to say", of if the KKK goes right up to the whitehouse by "It is hateful to think that".
I don't have to hear the entire sermon. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to get the facts of this man Greta. My Grandkids get it and their young.

I’ll bet I have watched an aggregate 5 hours worth of aired interviews where people who are friends of Rev. Wright have continued to defend him, stating that the media has taken the Rev. Wrights comments out of context. However, during the massive amount of air time these people are given, I have not seen one interview where the good reverends advocates take the time to put the comments into the right context. They spend the valuable air time attacking the media, rather than try to set the record straight.

Is Obama white or black? It seems like anyone who is half white is always considered to be the other half. Why? I guess Obama is suposed to be racist against his own mom and daughters. No wait!! Mabie he is racist aginst himself. You people are all so silly. White, Black, Dem and Rep. I'm glad none of you are running for office.

2008-03-28 01:40:17 ET

We might as well take the time to let Rev. Wright explain. After that, just move on to bigger and better things. Like, I don't know....THE ELECTION!

MESSAGE TO ALL AMERICANS! STOP BEING BLINDED BY THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO ELECT ONE OF THE DEMS BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS WONT' GET US WHERE WE NEED TO BE. I'VE BEEN TO IRAQ TWICE AND NOW I'M HEARING FROM THE REPUBLICANS 100 MORE YEARS. WE ARE NOT PAWNS AND WE ARE NOT EXPENDABLE. SOLDIERS ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND THEY DESERVE A CHANGE...

To all of those who claim that their churches only teach love and acceptance - please let me know which church you got to, because I've been looking for one like that! I kid you not, the last EIGHT churches that i have been to all have messages of intolerance bubbling below the surface. One good example is the issue of homosexuality - why don't you ask gay people how loving and accepting most churches are toward THEM! But I guess gay-bashing is a good, christian thing to do.

Corrine, I didn't say they should not report on Rev. Wright, my issue is selective reporting. Lets learn all the facts all all the candidates. Why not the uproar when other candidates supporters have a long history of hate speech and that candidate not only publically accepts that support but seeks it out? John Hagee is a hate monger, and uses religion as a backdrop to preach against a large segment of this countries population based on their beliefs. (sound familiar) I just question the media bias why they don't feel the need to pursue this topic everyday, all day and demand an interview with "Rev" Hagee.

Corrine
2008-03-28 01:44:41 ET

#841 - Jim - Somehow I knew you were no Christian. I wonder why....... When you follow Christ Jim you denounce the "false prophits". He doesn't say to hate them but to "denounce". AS Christians we don't attend Churches where the man is deriving pleasure out of hate and racism. THere will be many of these many b4 the end. I feel pit for you as you state things about Christians and don't understand. B4 you start critizing you should pickup and read the Bible. Did you see the new retirement home that Wright is building (over a cool million) for his retirement bought off the backs of a lot of poor. No Jim, I do not honor, those men who Preach Christ and DON'T live AS ChRIST wants. I hope the Lord touches your heart to understand the TRUE meaning. Christians are in an uproar because this man calls himself "A Man Of God". Read the BIBLE b4 passing judgement, without knowledge you know nothing.

#855 Lynn - The difference Lynn is that John McCain is not a member of Hagee's Church. Has not attended for 20 years. Does Not look at Hagee as a loving relative. The Black Panthers just endorsed Obama. I fear Lynn this man IS a follower of Wright. IF one attends Church Lynn, and I speak as a Chrisitan, please believe me when I say that to listen to ANY sermon that spills 1 sentence of filth, is to be a part of that filth. I would have walked out and I can say with much conviction the Christians from our CHurch would have also. God Bless You and I hope this might touch your heart just a tad.

Marge
2008-03-28 01:50:11 ET

NO! I do NOT want to hear anything further from this so-called pastor. I can't even imagine sitting in a church where a pastor screams hatred at you. Why do these people sit and repeat the last words in every sentence or say YES, YES to everything they hear . . . . it is as if they are hypnotized by the pastors voice. I have noticed this, also, when Obama is speaking. This is frightening to me . . . . if Obama gets elected, can we expect the "congregation" to raise their outreached arms to him and say YES, YES to everything he says??? The way people are acting is reminiscent of the way Hitler could mesmerize a crowd . . . only we'll be turning our country over to a muslim . . . . you'd better wake up Americans!! Do you believe "Once a muslim, always a muslim"? They kill you if you become a Christian. Think about that before you vote.

DJH
2008-03-28 01:50:54 ET

My opinion is...Rev. Wright will spin the issue at hand with freedom as his impetuous. Obama is a cunning socialist and rhetorician with a large following of mesmerized supporters who look for this kind of leadership to do the thinking for them. Obama will also spin the issue with this deceptive charm. Both men draw a population of people who are looking for some politically correct way to let their frustrations out, via tumultuous and sensitive issues, such as this one. FoxNews--I'd love to see and hear Bill O'Reilly and Greta Van Susteren together interview Wright and Obama at the same time! FoxNews--thank you for working so hard to gather the truth and then present the truth behind issues that the"regular" news media only tells bits and pieces.

Corrine
2008-03-28 01:53:12 ET

#855 Lynn - (PS) I understand WHY the Hagee thing isn't as important. Based on my previous statements. NOW, if John McCain's Church, of which he is an regular attendee was spilling those kind of sermons, that I'd want to hear. But some of these endorsements come from people the candidates aren't that close to. I want to know about their affiliations - the long term ones - and in depth. ESPECIALLY those that influence how they might run our Land. Obama frightens me as no candidate ever has. Its this pit of my gut thing. I went to his Church's website b4 Fox started reporting on WRight and it scared me bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I come from the south. I know a racist when I hear one. I saw wrights whole sermon for the first time today. Fox News does not take it out of context, but they don't show it in context either. It is very easy to take a 45 min sermon, cutt and paste bits and pices and get a reaction out of people. Religons have been doing it with the bible for thousands of years.

So Much ignorance. Many of these posts teeter on blatant racism. Read a littler more history outside mainstream books dominantly by white male, white eurocentric focus Get a little uncomfortable and expand your worldview. You will find the United States has a very violent, exploitative, greedy history. the constitution was written based on the fateful decision around slavery. The race issue has never been resolsved in this country. Look and listen around you to the ugly things people say about other ethnicities and races. You laugh. We never hear how many innocent pople we are killing on a daily basis in the middle east as they are collateral damage. We do a lot of bad stuff so wake up-listen to people like this minister and try to understand why so many people listent to him and are so emotional about the words.

AND why aren't all these people going crazy over the likes of Rush Limbaugh, etc. and the horribly racist, sexist, evit things they spew. I would like to shut their rv time off it is so offensive to the human race.

I wouldn't want to watch him heatedly try, in vain, to defend himself for a thoughtless, hateful and, yes, racist statement. I want it clear that I view his statement AS racist against white people. I also want it clear that I see that racism from white to black is still an issue as well. However, the reason I'm posting this is to state a rather neutral opinion on this matter. That being said....I feel that Americans tend to just take what the media says on an issue, pick a side and fight to defend that side for a little while until the next issue comes up. In all actuality, the media is completely, and I'm including Fox News in this, self-serving. It is, after all, simply made up of Americans that pick a side (or are paid to take a side) in a publicized event or situation and then blow it up as big as they can in favor of their views on the matter. I think that in this situation, even though he's made an ass of himself, it's pathetic that Americans, who constanly sing the praises of our freedoms (whatever) would threaten this preacher's life for his, while they are warped (in my opinion), opinions on the state of racism in this country. He's entitled to his opinion and he has the freedom of speach (just like the Dixie Chicks). Now, as far as Obama goes and his lack of getting up and walking out or saying something to the contrary, maybe he agrees with the preacher. If he does, it makes him NO different than any other white man in office. I mean, come ON, do you REALLY think that the war hungry cowboy from Texas ISN'T racist? If so, maybe YOU should run for office; :) you're just as qualified as the rest of them. The ONLY difference between Obama and the white guys is that the preacher messed up and stated a privately held opinion BEFORE Obama got elected;thereby making it hard on Obama (who knows, with the treachery in this country he was probably paid to sabatoge Obama HA). As far as his (Obama's) opinion goes on white people (IF he agrees with the preacher), it's not like he can do anything about it. The fact remains that the "presidents of the USA" are nothing more than a face and a scapegoat for the REAL masterminds behind this "great" country. It is my opinion that if Wright did agree to an interview it would be nothing more than a big showdown between him and whoever for the whole world to see. As it stands, the media is a big badass and the fact is what they believe, or maybe are even TOLD to portray as their beliefs (can't they be bought too?), is what the majority of happy little Americans all over the country are going to agree with. People need to stop, look at all sides (if choosing to take one) of an issue and then think for themselves. At this point I want to remind the reader that I am of the opinion that what the preacher said was a highly racist comment. That is my OPINION, I am entitled to it. He is, however, entitled to be of the opinion that I am racist. I cannot begrudge him that. It is, on the other side of the issue, my opinion that FoxNews (and I'm sure other stations), has a REASON for wanting him to step up to the chopping block and it's all about politics. In closing, people need to wake up and realize that the government CONTROLS us (albeit VERY smoothly) through the television set. It is by means of that box that we are told how "typical" society behaves and interacts. It is also what desensitizes us to the changes they choose to make, the opinions they choose to form about LARGE issues and it is also how they control (with hundreds of channels of entertainment) our moods. Smooth. Good luck Obama. At least you're a better choice than the hormonal woman who's already being caught in DUMBASS lies! Peace.

Out of context? If you say that the US Government started the AIDS epicemic and that 9/11 was a US Governemnt plot, and, etc., etc., etc. What context? Maybe the portions of those sermons that weren't aired would give us an idea of the context. Maybe the Reverend said: "Some people would say that..." or "I heard this comment that...." or "Our enemies would say that...." but the emotionalism presented during those clips would belay any mistake about his context: Anti-government and anti-USA I can accept as free speech but pure, unadulterated racism from the pulpit? What context justifies that? Jesus presented himself for crucifixion to end racism. Read that context in the Gospels and Paul's various letters to the first century churches and measure those comments against Reverend Wright's comments.

Betty
2008-03-28 01:58:45 ET

I believe the media has turned this into a three ring circus. Being a white woman in my late sixties I believe I have heard it all now. So what if Obama sat in Wright's church for 20 years. It doesn't mean he believes everything Wright said. I think people have been going to things for many years and filter out some of the things that have been said and take the good parts that they want to apply to themselves. I have a dear friend who is so right wing republican and spews things that are out of this world about Democrats. We have been friends for 50 years and I wouldn't give up her friendship for anything and I am staunch Democrat and have been for 40 years. In all other things except politics she is the kindest person I have ever met. I can see where Obama is coming from and I have to give him a lot of credit for standing up for his friendship. Not too many people would do that, especially in front of the world. I would rather see him in the White House instead of someone who lies pretty consistently and changes her positions depending on which way the wind is blowing. The only thing that would make me vote for her is to find out what color the next dress will be. I believe Obama is sincere in what he says and could reunite the country and hopefully the Democratic Party. When you think about it, wasn't there someone in the government that was a KKK member? He was elected too.

#869 Kay - I feel sorry for you and your thinking, but you have a right to feel as you do. Its just so sad. Thoughts don't mysteriously pop into our heads. We watch the news, we read, we investigate. Your making it sound mystical - as if outer space delivers news to us by some method other than what I first stated. To think that all are racist, is so very sad as so many aren't. This isn't a color issue but a moral issue. Your thoughts deeply sadden me.

I have been disturbed by Michelle Obama's comments a few weeks ago regarding her pride (or lack of) in our country. After hearing the comments from Rev. Wright, I understand where she is getting her belefs. When one hears the weekly drip, drip, drip from someone who has enjoyed our freedoms and condemns them, I'm not surprised that Ms. Obama sings his praises. I haven't had the priviledge of an ivy league education, being married to a senator, or living in a million dollar home; however, Ms. Obama should be thankful that she has been awarded these things. I must say that I sure enjoy seeing her daughters and hope that they don't inherit their mother's really skewed attitude of our country.

This man has the ability to send us to war, to put judges on the bench, to do lots of things and if you believe that Wrights teachings havn't affected Obama, I feel sorry for you also and am frightened by those that will vote for this man. Once he is, IF he is elected, I think you will all see just "what" you have put into the most powerful house in the World. WHen Fahricon, Wright, The black panthers show up there you might feel differently, gut than it will be too late.

#865 You said
The race issue has never been resolsved in this country. And it never will be as long as you have people like Wright preaching it in church. And let me say one more thing the slavery days are long gone and the black people are not able to let go of the past , and most of them never lived back then when there was slaves. So why keep the hatred up ?

I am annoyed by the bombardment of the coverage of the Rev. Wright story. Do I think that he is a reverse racist no. I believe that he was addressing the issues that most African Americans have with whites. Everyone has issues with the other race. Just admit it. No one talks about it because it is taboo. But one thing that I have noticed is how the news is so quick to accuse Obama of reverse racism or affiliations with reverse racist but failed to mention that his mother is white.
I am assuming that Barak Obama loves his mother as I do. I honestly believe that if he felt that Rev. Wright was discriminating and preaching dangerous material that was offensive towards whites, I believe that he would have severed his tides with him. After all he was raise by a white woman. I do not think for a second that Obama is racist.

Also to address the message about rev. wright damning the us. As a spiritual leader, it is his duty to point out that the US has completely separated from God. The US government is not sugar plums and roses. There is alot of corruption in our government. That is what I believe he is talking about. That is what he is damning.
I am tired of hearing about Rev. Wright. I believe that this is only taking us off of the subject. What about the war, oil, the economy. I want to know about these issue. Whether Obama is the Democratic Candidate or not these issues will not change. This will be old news but the stability of our country's economy is the major issue. Can we please get back to the original subject? THE STATE OF OUR ECONOMY!!!

Although I am a Fox News junkie, I truly believe Fox and other stations sensationalized a few words and if we hear it in the whole sentence, the whole paragraph, the whole sermon, it would be understood. Fox would do a service to get this whole sermon out there instead of trying to get viewers tuning in for the hysterics Fox and other stations are now creating. I absolutely HATE when Fox does it and they are guilty for other news stories that are given a twist that really isn't there. I prefer not to have Fox turn into a tabloid and Fox is getting close.

Greta,

I was taught as a child that saying "damm" anywhere was not only anti-christian, but vulgar. Hence, it may be one of the most vulgar terms to be used in church. It is as if you are using God's name in vain for personal gain. I am surprised that no one broke down this term and explained it piece by piece for discussion. Some may say "god damm" too easily and, unthoughtfully.

It just kills me to listen to all these news channels and people give Obama a pass! If these words had came out of a white preachers mouth, Jackson and Sharpton would have so many people rounded up protesting outside of that church its not funny. Let's not forget that they'd be on every news channel. If this was happening to Hillary, do you think she would be getting such a pass? I think not!! The media hates her so much that they would be airing this everyday on Every news channel!! This man was his MENTOR!! He is running for President, do you think he is actually going to say I heard these things? Why do you think he couldn't renounce him(I should say Wouldn't renounce him)? If he doesn't agree with his issues, why did TYPICAL white woman roll off of his tongue so easily? Or was that taken out of context? Give me a break!! Also who is taking these polls? I sure don't think they are right. I will not vote for Obama! I will vote McCain & i'm democrat!!

Corrine
2008-03-28 02:11:34 ET

Corrine, I'm sorry but that reasoning smacks of the prejudice that John Kennedy faced when he was running for office. People feared that since he was a member of the Catholic Church then the Pope would be calling the shots and shape his views and actions. I in no way agree with what Rev Wright said and do feel it is despicable, but trying to justify McCain seeking out and publically accepting an endorsement from someone like Hagee because he didn’t go to his church is hypocritical. Back to my original point, some hate speech is tolerated. I do not think John McCain is anti-Catholic ,I use it as an example as the bias and hypocrisy in the so called reporting on this race. I do not buy into the guilt by association theory. There is NO evidence in speeches or writings anywhere that Obama shares the views of Rev Wright, just as there is none that says John McCain shares Hagee’s beliefs. Because Obama didn't walk out of his church doesn't prove otherwise. Guilt by association is a slippery slope for everyone. As far as the black panthers endorsing Obama, I don't recall him seeking or even accepting this endorsement, and I would expect him to reject it the same as he did Farrakhan’s unsolicited endorsement. David Duke has endorsed McCain, does that mean McCain must have hidden racist believes because Duke likes him? No, that is ridiculous; same is true for Farrakhan or Black Panthers endorsing Obama. I too am a Christian and feel the need to point out and not justify any and all those so called men of religion who hide behind religion to spew their filth, even if I'm not in that church.

Oh my God, I can't understand why do most people find it hard to take a moment and step out of their box to see things from another point a view. Believe it or not, we as Americans are family in a bad relationship and no one is moving out. Would you all like to see this pain on both sides go away? Let us come together and have counsel. These are some of the reason why we as Americans will not be able to move forward and heal this country. We must have a open mind, no matter how the tone may come off. Yes let us get it off of our chest. Then we can settle down and constructively build a good relationship. We will be able to take our country back that has been wholesaled to other countries sucking the riches right out from us. We as the people of United States can truly unite. We the poor (white, black, Asian, Latin, etc..) can mobilize and demand the policy makers answer our needs. Right now they have us in delusion. We as Americans need to "GET OUR LAND AND BUSINESSES BACK FROM THESE FORIGN COUNTRIES". If you agree with me let us flood the networks with this type of message.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

The reason why we keep getting bombardment from the media abou wright is because news stations like FOX want this type of reaction. They know Obama has a good chance of beating Mcain. The only way Mcain can win is to put whites against blacks in a race war. Once race gets involved nobody will care about the other issues. And I think they have accomplished their goal. REP.

We have the potential of putting the worst man that has run for office in the highest post in the land, and your worried about the ecomony. If Obama IS as we think, you may not need to worry about money. Let me say that the economy is an important issue, but your letting them (he and Hillary) get to you. The economy is not that bad. Some people have made stupid decisions and purchased homes they couldn't afford. They were stupid. I'm 60 now and in my 20's and 30's had to make decisions about adjustable mortgages also. I decided what I could afford with WHAT I HAD! People want it all right now and the taxpayers that do the right thing shouldn't be penalized. We are NOT in a recession. Those candidates are just trying to stir the pot.

2008-03-28 02:16:15 ET

I think it's time we stop talking about Rev. Wright, & his theories, & start talking about the issues at hand , after all, it's not him who's running for president, but Obama. I think people should start realizing that all thse questions about the government being involved in 9/11 has already been asked before over & over again over these past few years. It's human nature to question these types of happenings. Why can't we leave behind these issues of the past, & deal with the current situations at hand, after all there are still some people out there who are still tormented from the horrors that occurred that terrible day. Why are they judging rev. Wright for him stating his opinions about this, when back then nearly half the country was saying these same things, Rev. Wright had the guts to come out and voice his concerns regarding this, rather than staying behind closed doors.

You don't neccessarily know what all we have done to people in other countries to make them want to attack us. They attack us because they hate our policies, way of life etc...What Rev. Wright said does not in no way change my opinions about Obama. You see only "closed minds" are offended by his statements regardless of whether they were taken out of context or not. Yes Rev. Wright should explain what he says, but has those Revs who endorsed Mccain explained their nasty words? Maybe Greta you should do a show on ALL pastors who preach more than just the "spiritual".

What is the difference between a person who attends Pastor Wright's church for twenty years, and a person who attended for twenty years, Pastor Butler's Aryan Nation Church in Northern Idaho?

Both Pastor Wright and the KKK Pastor preached bigoted, anti American government, racist, vile garbage.

There is NO difference between the racist congregation members either, other than the color of their skin.

Racist members of each church who accept that kind of hate and racism as truth, will sit and listen for twenty years. Those good people who are disgusted by it will walk out.

There is no difference between Pastor Wright and the Grand Wizard of the
KKK.

It will run down hill. Obama now that is another story. That man is as anti-american as the Rev. is. Is it not scarey to think of a sitting senator sitting in the pews and listening to hatred about the very country that hired him to represent the people.Obama can say he doesn't have the views the Rev. has but don't believe it. Obama wouldn't be in that church if he didn't have the same view's.A person can not be in a church for 20 years and not know how the Rev. views thing's,I don't believe Obama when he say's he had no clue how the Rev. was.If Obama get's elected president vision this, will Jessie Jackson,Al Sharpton,Rev.Wright be in his cabinet?

In this the 21st century with science making tremendous discoveries to better our world, our lives, how can educated people believe in a supreme being, god, and tout christianity? How does that work? Has anyone heard of a miracle lately? Not going to happen because now science can debunk any attempt at pulling the wool over our eyes. Miracles were mere magic tricks performed on a very unsophisticated society in what can best be described as the dark ages. Please grow a backbone, take responsibility for the good and bad that happens to you, enjoy the good, fix the bad, and quit rolling over and believe it is someone else's doing.

If the churches, any religion, didn't keep everyone, that they can, in line, how could they live off of you? Don't you just love the way the pope lives and all the wealth they hold close to them instead of finding a way to help the poor and starving in the world - I grew up as one of them but not anymore because I am able to see what they are doing. What a great business model they have. All because there was a mere mortal man who had a following, could fool people into following him by doing some magic and the story grew.

What liberals don't like about FOX is, Fox reports the truth about Republicans and Democrats.

Democrats don't like the truth, because it is almost always means trouble for them. Democrats like stations that only tell bad lies about Republicans and good lies about Democrats.

You left wing Liberals believe , if someone is anywhere to the right of Castro, they are a far right wing fringe dwelling conservative.

Obama is racist against anyone that isn't at least half black. You can tell by his view of his, as he puts it, "Typical white person", grandma.

What if McCain had ever said someone was a, " typical black person ", in a speech. Do you think we would ever hear the end of it. FOX would have lead the charge, because they are truthful, fair and honest. The liberal main stream media would be doing hand springs.

He was talking about his grandmas reaction to passing a black person in the street and holding her purse which is typical and the reaction of wright wich is also very typical for blacks who grew up in the 60s. he said they were both wrong but he still loved them both. u missed the whole point. brain washed by fox

Mark Hannity is a conservative republican, and admits it up front. O’Rielly is definitely not a republican. That is the kind of blatant lie some one reads on a left wing nut bag blog, and then repeats it. You need to actually watch O’Reilly every day for a week or two and you will see that he is irritating, but honest to both parties of which he is a member of neither.

I am a conservative, and I can assure you that O'Reilly is far from it. I am sure he pisses me off as much as he does you.
You just think that anyone who doesn't lie for Dems is a conservative. O"Reilly is just to honest for both of us.

You don't have to make an excuse Obama the racist. He said those words, and if McCain had said "typical black person", he would be DONE ... FOR EVER. Those words can not be in or out of context, they are racisit no matter when, how, or where they are uttered.

957Terry David If Mcain had a black mom and was half black and half white. And he talked about the problems of both sides he would not be done.

Terry David
2008-03-28 04:49:15 ET

Don't be SILLY.

I said if McCain had said, "typical black person", he would be done. A black man can say, "typical black person", or even the N word, and nothing is said.

Some black leaders can say racist things about Jewish people and white people and Wright will give them a life time achievement award.

Let McCain say things like that and every person in America would call for his head, including me.

Martha
2008-03-28 04:51:26 ET

It is amazing how the very people who condemned Rev.Wright for his hatred and racism are the ones who had equal or more hatred and racism in their own comments. I guess that is why Jesus said, "He who is without sin cast the first stone." How many people actually went to the Bible for an explanation for Rev. Wright's sermon? The Books of the Major Prophets:Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel and Daniel are about God's Wrath upon the "nations" who were disobedient. The prophets were concerned about the moral and political corruption of the nations. In the Book of Jeremiah; Jeremiah standing in the Temple told the people that the Temple would be destroyed and Jerusalem itself would become a desolation. Jeremiah's hearers were shocked [ Jeremiah 26:7-9]. They called his words blasphemy. Jeremiah was charged with being unpatriotic -Un-Judaistic. Today it would be Un-American. For his opponents it was "My country, right or wrong". For Jeremiah it was "God's will in my country' [Jeremiah 26:12-16]. God said to Jeremiah,"Do not be afraid of them. for I am with you". [Jeremiah 1:8] Sometimes we may have to endure ostracism and ridicule for Christ's sake, but His promise is sufficient. The priests and prophets,aided by the people, laid hold on Jeremiah and threatened him with death . But Jeremiah was delivered from the hand of his enemies. [Jeremiah 26:24]. The most uncommon thing in the world today is common sense. Spiritual sense, better known as wisdom comes from God through reading and studying His Word. Those of us who use the Bible as our Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, have a discernment and understanding of "prophetic sermons" as they apply to Scripture. The damn in the dictionary can be defined as : to condemn to an unhappy fate, the saying of "damn" as a curse. In the Bible the word "cursed" is used. Hosea 4:6 says "my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge."

962Terry David ...Black people can say the N word in a certain context and not affend each other. A lot of black people use it as slang. White people for the most part do not use the N word in everyday conversations. So whe they use it out of context like jokes or to be mean or to make a point people get mad. Thats the truth sorry if it makes u mad.

Terry David
2008-03-28 04:58:00 ET

Mark said .... But Obama made a good point. He was not being racist he was being fair and balanced.

I say ... You believe that because you don't want to understand. I don't buy Obama's bull sh-t. He would have walked out on Wright a long time ago if he was a good man. He would never let his children around a man like Wright if he was a good man. Like Bill Clinton, Obama will lie, cheat, break the law, or say anything to get into the White House.
Obama is not a quality leader, he is an old school racist, not worth the time it takes to say his name.

Terry David
2008-03-28 05:26:36 ET

Like I said, you don't want to understand. No one thinks of me as white, because of my hair and pigment. It makes no difference that my father is white and my mother is black. Many blacks don't think I am black enough. I am sure I've heard the words Uncle Tom, as much as anyone alive. I am sure Obama has had to live with the same garbage I have. Most peoples racism has only to do with how one looks, and believe me, both white people and black people are very capable of being racist. Because of my age, I have had to live through more white racism than black racism, but there is plenty of both to go around. I would never had stayed in Wright's church.
Obama did, and that tells me where his head is. He chose to let the white racists get to him more than the black racists like Wright.

mark
2008-03-28 05:35:09 ET

Obama is not racist. I listened to wrights whole sermon. I do not agree with some of it. I don't know if his grandma was racist or not. All we know is she made racist comments about blacks and did not trust black men. He took the good that he saw from both his grandma and wright. He was smart enough to make up his own mind about what he belived in. He saw the hate from both worlds and was able to rise above it. We are lucky to have someone like Obama running for President.

But I think the you chose to let the black racism got to you.

Terry David
2008-03-28 05:48:55 ET

That is where you are wrong. He did not raise above it. He stayed in the church of Pastor Wright, knowing full well what Wright believes. Obama lies to you, and you want to believe his lies so bad you put what your ears and eyes have shown you, along with your common sense, aside.

mark
2008-03-28 05:54:04 ET

Terry David
2008-03-28 05:55:36 ET

Greta,
I can't beleive Obama is still a US senator. If a white senator was attending KKK meetings weekly, there would be no question to his dimmise. Its clear with the media coverage on all this just how black america views whites. They preach hate and follow the preachings of MalcomX one of their great leaders. I remember one speach where Malcom x told his fellow black's to take the white tropyh away-their women. It seems they are doing a good job. They-the blacks in this country are united by what I feel are the head racists ie..Jesse Jackson, Rev Sharpton and Rev Wright, just to name a few. I remember when Congresswomen McKinney gave her speach after being defeated in her re-election and standing on the stage with a group of black man behind her saying"you crackers got what you wanted". Well if that had been a white person giving those racial comments Jessie,Sharpton, Wright and all the rest of the black community would be doing back flipps all the way to the supreme court shouting racism and demanding heads. Just like what they did with Imus. Its a double standard that might be coming to a head in this country.
Back to Obama, his own wife who attends wrights church made the statement, "this is the first time I'm proud to be an american" well that goes right along with Rev wrights preaching-doesn't it?. Obama doesn't wear a flag on his lapel, whats that tell ya? Wake -up white america!!!!!In closing, as a person I fell I am no better than any other on the planet. Blacks better get over it.

Jesus was labeled names for telling the truth just like Americans are labeling Rev. Wright. Consider Rev. Wright's age all the hate, injutices he had to go through being an American sodier(fighting a war for the rights of a racist courty and people). Consider what he and many other people of color had to endure at a time when they could not vote, buy homes in certian parts of town,could not provide for thier families because the color of their skin,consider one fouth human by the US government, watching bombs go off in Alabama every two to three days(little American girl getting pulled from the rubble),churches getting bombed, racial profiling, having experiments proformed on them by the US government(Tuskegee experiment) and the list go on and on. How do you expect some one to respond to this type of humane treatment. Can someone tell me who invented racism in America? Rev. Wright is not a racist he and many more people of color are products of racism. In the soud bytes Rev. Wright saids God has tought him how to love America. He has tought him how to love the hell out out America. Americans just don't want to face the fact that a new change is coming and no matter how Americans try to stop it they will not prevail, what God put in motion no man can stop .America's skit is up and her draws are dirty and God's going to clean them up.

When things turn out the worst for our Country they will have to suffer the consequences of their decision. Unfortunately so will the rest of us. Just because one serves his country does not mean that the decisions they make are "FOR THE GOOD" of their country. My father served as Sergeant WWII and My Husband During Vietnam.

I've asked my husband about that because I'm not the most politically savvy person out here, and he thinks that if we rec'd oil from Iraq in payment than IT WOULD BE about oil. I'm just doing the common sense thing here Mark. Let me say that I vote NO party but the man or woman. I just can't vote for any person who believes that abortion is ok. I heard Wright speak and state that "women have the right to abort and that right shouldn't be taken away". NOW that is what breaks my heart Mark. If you have children, look in their eyes, remember the day they were born and your love for them. The fact you'd lie down your life for them. Than think of the women who are using abortion as birth control. The excuse always comes up that if a womans life is in the balance. Well, thats different, but I'd bet you a zillion dollars Mark that those familys that HAVE to make that choice are just overwhelmed with pain. They want their babys to live. So to me how much money I have, whether I pay high prices at the gas pump, etc. fall in 2nd to the killing of children. After that comes the other issues.

Mark: When a person decides to join the armed service THEY make the decision. Most our courageous men and women. But the help with school and benefits initially might make people want to enlist. BUT, theres also the war issue. If you want to have 1/2 and not the other 1/2, don't join the armed services. Just that old common sense approach. I've known of soldiers that are so proud of the fact that they have changed these peoples lives, that taking out the monster was a good thing, that at least, down the line they may be able to live without fear. We have trouble understanding because we're free to say and basically, within reason, do as we wish. The dictator WAS a weapon of mass distruction. For the 4000 men and women who have died I will NOT EVER say this war was NOT worth it because to me to voice that would be to say they've died in vain. They have kept the war away from here, but I know in my heart of hearts that if Obama or Clinton get in, our men and women and civilians will be fighting the fight HERE. It will happen, the only question is when. There will be many more dead Mark. War is horrible and I don't believe there is anyone, unless their a damn fool, who likes it. BUT, as long as there are those who want us killed for our CHristian beliefs, who just can't get along, there will be war. War will never ever ever stop Mark. ITs people, not the country. Thats why WRight scares me and the fact Obama sat there and listened. ITs people like WRight, Osama, etc. that get people riled up and full of hate while they sit back, rich, and let all the others fight their war, THAT THEY CREATED. God Bless All and OUr Country!

#1003 George - I know that Mark thinks those are probably harsh words, but it is how things are in this country. The race issue is in reversal and white Americans are getting more and more upset. I heard obama's words on tv about his Grandmother. Appalling to me. Those were words she said in private to him, Grandmother to Grandson. BUT, he threw her out there to life himself up. SCUM, come to mind. Another harsh word. Than to say shes "a typical white person". I was actually a little shocked. Wheres the outcry from MOST of the white community. If a white person running for the presidency had said those same words, your right, they'd no longer be running for President. I Pray that Obama doesn't get elected. I Fear for our country at his hands. Its that feeling you get in the pit of your gut.

No such thing as out of context - the words are there GD Americans. If he don't like Americans - then leave. If Michelle isn't proud of America where she got her education and a great paying job - leave. They all should live in
a country where they will have to struggle more to just live. Then their attitude might reverse itself. But we are the crazy ones, if we vote Obama in as our president - Plainly, this family is not President material, his calm attitude and saying change, doesn't tell us what change he will actually do?
Think twice before voting for him. This is a serious alert. Muslium alert. Do we want a muslium background person to know all (all) our military information?

Muslim Background - The unfortunate thing is no one knows for SURE. I wish we did know more about his background. The fact that his church is so full hate for white Americans I think makes many question everything. Those who like him say NO, those who dislike say YES. Only "he" knows the facts and he wouldn't tell the truth about that for anything. I know his church is suppose to be "Christian" but the teachings are not of ANY "CHristian" Church I've ever been to or heard about.

1020.By: Corrine 952 The reason why obamas words about his grandma were appalling to you is because the truth is hard. He was talking about his grandmas reactions to passing a black person in the street and holding her purse which was typical and the reaction of wright wich is also very typical for blacks who grew up in the 60s. There was a lot more racial tension during those years. Some white people, still today are not comfotable passing a black person in the street alone. He said they were both wrong but he still loved them both. u missed the whole point.

1020.By: Corrine Obama is not racist. I listened to wrights whole sermon. I do not agree with some of it. I don't know if his grandma was racist or not. All we know is she made racist comments about blacks and did not trust black men. He took the good that he saw from both his grandma and wright. He was smart enough to make up his own mind about what he belived in. He saw the hate from both worlds and was able to rise above it. We are lucky to have someone like Obama running for President.

2008-03-28 14:11:02 ET

I don't blame, Greta, Hannity, O'reilly and Juan Willams AND other Fox employees for manipulating the public. THEIR very name MEAN smarter than a FOX; means they can out FOX people. FOX is out foxing people who are too lazy to read, learn and reason. People who rather take FOXES word. I see so many people who were probably OBAMA people "crossed"over to HILLARY, because of FOX. Fox is the most racist network on T.V. Unless a person is RACIST, they would not believe a word FOX says, especially HANNITY. Rarely does he allow a black person to complete a sentence. He never listens UNLESS he agrees with what that person is saying. Obama had hopes of ending racism and being one people; IOWA AND THE OTHER STATES THAT GAVE OBAMA A LANDSLIDE VOTE,had hopes of ending racism and being one people!

HILLARY thrives on division and that is why she threw in the race card. RICHARD MORRIS, their x-campaign manner predicted that is what she would do before she did it!

Bill went further with it and finding Reverend Wrights' 4 or 5 sermons and compressing them into an entirely different story, which went right along with the racism Hillary had started, except now they FOX would show that Rev. Wright practiced reverse racism .

HILLARY NOT ONLY HATE BLACKS, SHE HATES AMERICAN! Why else is she willing to destroy the two Democratic party. MAYBE because she wants us to be a socialist party. I don't know. But the way she was talking like at all cost she WILL NOT step out the race EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOT LEGAL WAY SHE CAN WIN WITHOUT CAUSING A MAJOR FIGHT IN NOVEMBER. She DID NOT CARE ABOUT MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA WHEN SHE WAS AHEAD and said so. OBAMA wanted to divide the MI/FL. delegates. MI.FL agreed...delegates would not seated because they voted out of turn against the DNC rule.

Back to Rev. W, FOX did not play the entire sermon so you could understand the gist. THAT was FOX's intention to make us think what they wanted us to think; one word added or subtracted from a sentence can change the meaning of the sentence...likewise with a sermon.
Since the early '80s BLACKS have believed the government was trying to kill off BLACKS because it is written so often and what is written can be seen For Instance, Katrina,& why is the war and starvation allowed to continue in Darfur? The Hutu and Tutu almost wiped themselves out. Where did they get the jeeps, guns amminition, cell phones and walkie talkies? Most Africans are dying of starvation;would they buy weapons in lieu of food? They didn't allow the war in Kosovo to esculate. Wonder why?

Rev Wright did not manufacture the words he spoke. The words he spoke have and is happening. Are you angry with him for telling the truth and agreeing with FOX because they twist everything. HOW can you do that when most of you consider yourselves Christians, especially Hannity, who calls himself a CATHOLIC religious person who was going to be a priest or minister or whatever. How could he bring these half truths to the public? ISN'T there something in his bible about bearing false witness? Greta, O'reilly, even Colme ARE as guilty as Hannity, WHO prides himself being the first one to expose a half truth. Half truth because we don't know what the rest of the sermon was.Why didn't Re I don't believe GOD is happy with us! Tonight, Hannity 1/2 defended Obama, only because the Reverend Ignorant Manning said Obama's white mother was trash his dad 'hored around with trash that was why Obama was trash. HAnnity 1/2 defended Obama cos that's the thesbian in him! Anyway Wright is getting a bad rap so Hillary can win, so McCaBUSH can finish decimating the U.S.A. FOX IS MORE UNPATROITIC THEN WRIGHT because they want TO HELP BUSH FINISH THE JOB.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/hildabeast.asp

it seems neither CLINTONS have much dignity and it seems that they both are closet racist. 1. If Hillary Clinton said "you ef'ing Jew bastard," I don't think it confirms Hillary's anti-Semitism. Rather it confirms what I always believed: She is a nasty piece of work who will say anything if it will achieve her aims. A year ago, she said Palestine should be a state, because she was talking to Palestinians. These days she says Jews are the greatest thing since sliced Matzos, because she needs Jews. And, 26 years ago, she said "you f***ing Jew bastard" because she wanted to hurt someone's feelings. What Jewish voters need to ponder is what she might say if the day comes when she thinks she can do without Jewish voters.

http://www.nationalreview.com/rapid/rapid071800.html

'Where is the G-damn efing flag? I want the G-damn efing flag up every efing morning at efing sunrise.' (From the book 'Inside The White House' by Ronald Kessler, p. 244 - Hillary to the staff at the Arkansas Governor's mansion on Labor Day, 1991) http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/hildabeast.asp

Sounds like HILLARY is CURSING our flag AND bible! Even minutes before Clinton's inauguration Hillary and Bill were screaming at one another about the "f---ing Bible" to be used for the ceremony. Does that give you a clue as to the character of these high priests of the gutter? So when either one of these folks places their hand on the Bible and swears an oath to tell the truth, to uphold the Constitution or make any other vow, just remember the contempt, the venom, the anger that underlies all the phony exterior.

The media is dividing the country. The media is only fueling the fire of racism. This story has cause more separation because it is only giving "white racist" the fuel they need to continue their hatred. I have read the blogs. Most people have place intelligent intellecual opinions about the Rev. Wright situation, while others have only used this an outlet to express their hatred for another race. Am I offended no. I believe that people are entitled to expressing their opinion no matter how small minded.
About the Rev. Wright story,
The media showed only a 30 sec sound bite and most of the time it was interrupted by the journalist filling in the blanks. The media trial him before giving him the opportunity to explain himself on national tv. After the media, ignited this hatred over rev. wright, they expected him to come out into public and explain it after recieving many death threats. I would not expect him to do that either. If the media would have used professional jounalism, instead of this bias junk, I believe we as viewers would have able to judge for ourselves, whether we should agree or disagree with Obama's decision to remain friends with Wright. The media when they first heard the story should have requested to interview Wright instead of publically hanging him. Then wanting to know why he said what he said. The media is putting the carrage before the horse in this case. Where have all of the professional none bias journalist gone? We are being detered from the real issues. Where is all of our money going? How is it being spent? What is the economic deficit amounting to? And how can it be balance? How much longer is the war going to take? Why are we the only industrialized nation that does not have a national health care program and we cannot blame it on the stability of our economy because the other countries have more stable economies than we do? (Canada, UK, UE, Japan) stable economies and Universal health care programs... These are things that I would like to see the media cover.

ps

OBAMA'S MOTHER IS WHITE HE WAS RAISED BY HIS WHITE MOTHER AND WHITE GRANDPARENTS....MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THAT OBAMA IS BI-RACIAL. THEY ALSO BELIEVE THAT HE IS MUSLIM. HE IS NOT. (I DO NOT KNOW WHY THAT MATTERS BECAUSE OF THE SEPARATION OF THE CHURCH AND THE STATE) THE MEDIA HAS FAIL TO MENTION THAT IN THEIR "WITCH HUNT" STORIES. WHITES ONLY SEE HIS SKIN COLOR. I WAS ALWAY TOLD THAT YOU ARE WHO YOU WERE RAISED BY. YOUR SKIN COLOR DOES NOT DEFINE WHO YOU TRUELY ARE. GOD I HAVE KOREAN FRIENDS WHO WERE ADOPTED BY WHITE PARENTS AND THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES WHITE NOT KOREAN BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS WERE NOT KOREAN THEY WERE WHITE. TELL THE WHOLE STORY PLEASE...

LOOK IT UP GOOGLE OBAMA...YOU WILL SEE PICTURE OF HIS WHITE BIRTH MOTHER...LEAVE THE MAN ALONE...HE CANNOT WIN ..HE IS NOT BLACK ENOUGH FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND HE DOES NOT HAVE WHITE SKIN FOR THE WHITE COMMUNITY..PEOPLE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!
DO NOT DEPEND ON THE AMERICAN MEDIA...IS IT BIAS AND WE ONLY SEE WHAT THE NETWORKS WANT US TO SEE...GO AND READ OTHER COUNTRIES COVERAGE OF THE SUBJECT..YOU WILL GET MORE INFORMATION....

Greta ask this question for once...

Why is it that congress has free health care (people who can afford to pay for health care) and the middle class, university students, and the poor have to suffer. I was a republican but after I spent 2 years a student with no health care. I changed my party. Quite frankly, i do not care about the rev. wright obama story. It is annoyance. I care about the direction of the economy. Why is unemployment so high? Companies were suppose to create more jobs from their tax breaks but now more companies are facing finacial instability than ever. The rich (fat pocket- i like to call them) are getting richer while the middle class are becoming poor. How is it that companies are bringing in trillions of dollars yet laying off employees? Where is that money going? Why arent companies obeying the laws of supply and demand? I am a student that is graduating this May and there will not be many places to work. Most student that I know are working at the jobs that they had before they attended college. Investigate something useful. Rev. Wright will be yesterdays news but our country dividing into two classes (the Poor and the Super Rich) is evident.

Gov. deserves none of?

If you want to give the Gov. more money, nothing is stopping you from giving your own money, on your own. TAX is another word for steal from the successful and give to the failure.

Work hard, Take care of yourself and don’t whine because others are more successful than yourself. If you are successful and want to give more, DO IT and stay out of my pocket. I give thousands of dollars every year
to charities I choose. No one is entitled to charity.

Let's not be diverted from the truth of what this is about. Most Americans are far past race. Everyone I know would vote for someone of any race, but not of any ideology. Race is being used by the radicals to divert our attention from their belief system.

Race has nothing to do with OBama's problems. His Socialist/communist/anti American views have everything to do with Obama's problems. The fact that Obama lies with style, and his lies are accepted by the most gulible of Americans and rejected by the intelligent Americans is the biggest down fall of Obama. The only people trying hard to make it about race are left wing radicals, which both Obama and Clinton are.

Maybe you just don't understand?!!!! Actually, I agree with you on most everything you state. Too many people expect handouts from the government which is all of us taxpayers. We make our own way and so should everyone else. It sometimes seems as if those who work the least obtain the most. Makes me rather ill! But I was raised to work and thats what I've always done. Too bad those ethics don't extend to everyone. Thats why Obama is so popular, he wants to give lots of $ to lots of programs and paid for by us. He gave about 6% of his income. HUH!! Most to his church. Rather sickening as he makes statesments about handing out "OUR" money to pay for all his programs when his giving rather SUCKS.

I have heard Rev.(and I use the term loosely) Wright spout his hatred enough.The only explanation he has is like Obama's "it is being taken out of context". I really don't see how what he said could be taken out of context...it was pretty straightforward. On the view Obama said specifically that he (Wright) is not his mentor(another lie) he said in his book and in a speach that the Reverand was a mentor and spiritual advisor. I would hate to have him advising me spiritual or otherwise. This has been going on for 20 years. He says that Rev. Wright is retired. Does that excuse him????

FOR OVER 40 YEARS MOST WHITES HAVE TRIED TO GET PASSED RACISM. NOT NOW...THIS ASSHOLE HAS SET RACE RELATIONS BACK 100 YEARS.
I BELIEVE THEY ARE USING THIS TO DISTRACT FROM THEIR REAL AGENDA. OBAMA IS MUSLIM. HE WAS RAISED A MUSLIM. HE WAS BRAIN WASHED FOR YEARS AND YEARS. THEY ARE TAUGHT FROM THE KORAN THAT ANYONE WHO IS NOT MUSLIM (MEANING CHRISTIANS & JEWS) SHOULD DIE. THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. WRIGHT AND OBAMA ARE BOTH WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING. THEY ARE POSING AS CHRISTIANS JUST SO THEY CAN GAIN LEADERSHIP IN THIS COUNTRY. WHAT BETTER WAY TO DESTROY A WHOLE COUNTRY THAN FROM THE VERY TOP.
WERE THEY TRUE CHRISTIANS...THEY WOULDN'T ASSOCIATE WITH THE LIKES OF LOUIS FARAKAN. ("WHAT HAS LIGHT TO DO WITH DARKNESS...")
THE BLACKS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE BEING DECIEVED...OBAMA IS 50% WHITE, 40% ARAB AND 10% BLACK.

I believe that Rev. Wright would not first accept the invitation, and if he did the interview would not be unlike the one he gave to Sean on H&C in that he over talked the interviewer and did not give one straight response. But rather he used the platform to further spread his hate filled vile thoughts.

I think the time would be better spent showing how great our country is and the great things we have accomplished and can do in the future.

No, I do not care to watch anymore of The Rev. Wright's garbage. He has said enough to let me know he is a racialist and has no respect for this country and or white people. Why would we want to give him a chance to lie and try to polish what he has already said. There is no context you could put those statements into and get another meaning. Why would his congregation scream and clap their hands after he made his statements, if this wasn't their feelings also?
And as for as Obama's relationship with him, I think you can pretty much judge a person's character by the crowd he hangs out with. He has lied to the people of this country, and he is not smart enough to know that we can trace most of his claims. Oh well, so much for a liberal.

Clinton Was Silent As Wal-Mart Railed Against UnionsClinton has been endorsed for president by more than a dozen unions, according to her campaign Web site, which omits any reference to her role at Wal-Mart in its detailed biography of her.
========
=========
==========
Wal-Mart's anti-union efforts were headed by one of Clinton's fellow board members, John Tate, a Wal-Mart executive vice president who also served on the board with Clinton for four of her six years.

Tate was fond of his favorite phrase, "Labor unions are nothing but blood-sucking parasites living off the productive labor of people who work for a living." ==========

Greta, I saw something on the news today about a white person who put on brown makeup to mimic Obama and held up some silly sign or something. The same way these looney's hold up signs of our President. However, in this case, certain people are calling the race card. Is this what we have to look forward to, if this guy becomes president? I am 57 years old, and I never knew the amount of racism in this country. I have never experienced it around me ever, but it seems to be festering in black communities. Many of them hate whites, as well as America. It seems they are very unhappy, and harbor a lot of anger. It is a shame that such young people in these communities are being fed this garbage. These children are being set up for failure by their own families and community. If their own churches don't help them receive deliverance, but pass this stuff down to the children, someone should step in and free them from themselves. How do they expect these children to succeed, if they keep telling them they don't have chance? I have many wonderful successful black friends, and I thank God that they were able to overcome being trapped like some others. The only reason racism still exist in this country, is because some people profit from it in one way or another. Slavery may have started for the profit of some white men, but the only reason it still keeps people in bondage, is for the profit of some black men.

It was Clinton's camp that downplayed its own trade bashing, reports the Canadian media
March 6, 2008 12:30 PM
A storm of reports in the Canadian media say that the Nafta-gate flap last week involving
Barack Obama was started by a key aide to Canada's prime minister - who told journalists that Hillary Clinton's campaign - not Obama's - had contacted the Canadian government to play down its Nafta-bashing.

HIL-LIAR-Y LIED ABOUT BOSNIA; what else is hil-liar-y lying to us about?

2008-03-31 20:38:16 ET

ABSOLUTELY. And I would prefer it if Al Sharpton and Barack Obama were there too... so that the topic of Obama's hypocritical treatment of Don Imus as compared to Rev. Wright could be REALLY be broached. You will definitely need to monitor everyone's mics, though, Greta... and be prepared to cut someone's mic off from time-to-time in order to allow reasoned debate to prevail. We know from previous experience that Al Sharpton will attempt a quasi-ebonics blathering filibuster, and I'm sure Rev. Wright will attempt to shout down HIS opposition as well. Obama might be strangely quiet under the circumstances... so you will need to shut off the others' mics and put Obama on the spot with some frank and carefully crafted questions... like: "How do you think the AIDS virus is ACTUALLY spread, Senator? Do you believe that white people have actually FORCED inner-city residents to share dirty needles when shooting-up, or FORCED them to forget their condoms when practicing unprotected sexual intercourse?" If he responds: "No, I don't believe that white people caused the AIDS epidemic...", then you can ask him why he never mentions the fact that his Kenyan father abandoned his family, while his white mother and grandparents lovingly cared for him. Then ask him how he could possibly gravitate to a surrogate father figure like the hateful, bigoted Pastor Wright after being raised by a family of nurturing white relatives. As a matter of fact, invite Oprah Winfrey to the interview, too. I'll bet she is absolutely chagrined by this turn of events.

I sure would like for him to come and explain himself. Why is it that the media lumps all black churches together? Just like there isn't a "white" church, there isn't a "black" church. There is only a "Jesus" church. that is one of the problems in the world today, we have forgotten who purchased the church with His own blood on Calvary. We surely have forgotten! We all don't share the same views in what is known as "the black" church. Maybe one of these days, we will get it right! Jesus said, 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one to another."
Come on, America, spread the LOVE!

DAN AND MILITARY DAUGHTERANDWIFE,

Please, get ahold of yourselves. OBAMA DID

NOT STOP MICHIGAN DELEGATES FROM BEING

SEATED HIL-LIAR-Y DID! IT IS ANOTHER ONE OF

HER LIES!!! OBAMA was in favor of dividing

the delegates in half. WHY IS THAT NOT THE

FAIR THING TO DO? DO YOU CARE JUST ABOUT

WINNING? DOES HONESTY COUNT WITH YOU?========

How is it fair that MICHIGAN and FLORIDA can

vote ahead of it's turn? WHY do you not

accept the fact that THEY AGREED IN WRITTING

that they would lose the delegates if they

voted in January instead of APRIL! THEY DID

IT KNOWING FULL WELL WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES

WAS. WHY WOULD YOU EXPECT THEM TO CHANGE THE

RULES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

GAME!!!?? Suppose you buy a car

for 45,000 dollars and when you go to pay

the last payment the car dealer say, oh, we

made a mistake theCAR should have cost 50,000

dollars. WOULD YOU JUST SMILE AND SAY O.K.

or suppose your favorite football team was
-----------------------------
winning but if the rules are changed during

the 4thquarter, the opponent will win. WOULD
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
YOU SAY O.K. CHANGE THE RULES? WHY are you
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
blaming OBAMA for FOLLOWING THE RULES, When
`````````````````````````````````````````````
Mich. said the delegates will not be seated,
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
EVERYONE EXCEPT HIL-LIAR-Y took their name
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
off the ballot because HIL-LIAR-Y and her
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Buddies thought they could pull a fast
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

democrats running only HIL LIAR Y'S NAME WAS
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
ON THE BALLOT? Yes OBAMA'S name was on the
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Florida ballot but he was not allowed to
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````campaign there. Campaigning```````````````````````````````
is important
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````because many people do not know him. Hillary
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
campaigning isn't as necessary because she
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
is already well known because of her husband
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
AND THERE-IN LIES THE PROBLEM as to whether

she can beat McCain, too many people know too

HIL-LIAR-Y WANT MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA TO HAVE

A REVOTE SO THE DELEGATES CAN BE COUNTED. (she only wanted this AFTER she fail behind Obama)

She CLAIMS it is unfair to disenfranchise

over 2 million voters. IF NOT SEATING THE

MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA delegates is cheating

over 2million voters, WOULD it also BE

CHEATING VOTERS if Hil-liar-y can sway the

SUPER DELEGATES

to chose to NOMINATE her over OBAMA, over

WHOM 22 million people voted for? WOULD THAT

also BE DISENFRANCHISING or "cheating" the

voters EVEN MORE VOTERS than she pretend to

be concerned about?

DO YOU FEEL LIKE HIL-LIAR-Y is

treating us like we are fools?

Hil-LIAR-y said if we don't get the vote of

Michigan and Florida the DEMOCRATS CANNOT

WIN THE ELECTION . LIES,lies and

MORE LIES. ALL THE STATES WILL HAVE

DELEGATES AT THE GENERAL ELECTION. Michigan

and Florida will not be allowed to seat

delegates at the PRIMARY ELECTION.BUT THEY WILL DEFINITELY BE SEATED AT THE GENERAL ELECTION.

HIL-LIAR-Y AND BILL SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PIT BULL AND BULL DOZE THEIR WAY IN THIS ELECTION. What would be unfair is if MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA'S DELEGATES ARE SEATED IN THE NOMINATION WHEN THEY ILLEGALLY HAD A VOTE OUT OF TURN And was TOLD that if they insist on voting they would lose their rights to the delegates.

=======================================================================================

TO RE-VOTE OR SEAT THE DELEGATES NOW, would be saying the DNC DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR OWN RULES AND like hil-liar-y THEY ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY. MAYBE ALL THE STATES WOULD LIKE TO VOTE OUT OF TURN! Wouldn't that be choatic!? WHAT IS THE POINT IN MAKING LAWS OR RULES IF THEY ARE OPENLY DISREGARDED? IS HIL-LIAR-Y AND BILL MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY? Are they more important than this country? IF THEY ARE, then we shouldn't have an election. just lock the oval office put them on a throne as the monarchs and forget about these long drawn out expensive elections! OTHER-WISE let us follow the democratic rules.

Florida and Michigan will still be able to vote in the general election, ...

what do you think?

DAVID: Let me explain it you so maybe you'll get it. WHEN the priests were found out about they were taken from their churches. The Priests didn't exactly state during a sermon that they were molesting little boys! DUH! So its hard to do something about something you don't know about. THAT doesn't mean ALL priests are bad. The bad guys were taken from the churchs and replaced and people kept going to the churches because the bad guys went bye bye. Wright was preaching hate, America injected aids into Blacks (funny how Wright didn't become HIV positive. hmmmm), etc. etc. SPEWING HATE. PARISHONERS KEPT AND DIDN'T QUIT THE CHURCH WHILE WRIGHT WAS SPEWING HIS CRAP NOT LIKE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. Maybe you didn't know but THERE IS MORE THAN ONE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ONLY 1 CHURCH OF WRIGHTS. If you don't get it your just a big dummy.

Why is'nt John McCain's relationship with Rev. John Hagee being cross examined? Rev Hagee has used much stronger "hate rhetoric". Many of you sound very racist to me. Especially because you would rather vote for 4 more years of foreclosures, corporate welfare, school shootings and high gas prices before you even consider a more qualified man in the White House, simply because of skin color.
