Has Senator Obama done enough to address the remarks of Pastor Wright?

After investigating further I found HE (obama) did hear Wrights rantings and lied to us on national tv. He was seen by a jounalist in 2007 who saw him while attending the church, nodding and grinning to the ravings of this lunatic, hate mongoring, racist so called minister. No one can belong to a church for 20 years, claim his pastor to be a spiritual advisor, be like a father, have his children baptised, be married in a church and NOT KNOW the mission statements of the establishment. We are not a stupid people. Major G. from Fox interviewed Obama and Obama sat there and lied to us. I don't know his agenda but is NOT about uniting this country.

Extremely difficult to believe that you are part of a congregation for 20 years and not know what was going on in his church. His explanations are so vague. If he can coldly lie to us now, how much he will do it as President?

Yeh, now Obama is going to giving a speech or excuse for his association with Wright.
I wonder what kind of crap he'll come up with. He'll state some more lies like he did with Major / Fox interview. Newsmax.com - Jim Davis - Thursday - 8/9/07 - Davis attended the church, Obama was there, Davis saw him, Wright was spewing his horrific comments, Obama was nodding and smiling.
What kind of lies will he come up with on Tuesday?
Some Black Americans wouldn't believe the truth if Christ told them.
Do any of you really believe that Jesus would speak this way and he was crucified on a cross.
Do you think he would hump his podium while spewing about sex before marriage?
Do any of you read the Bible?
It says "Man will not lay with man nor woman with woman". And you openly accept this.
You will pay for NOT following the BIble. NOT MAN.
We are to be in the world NOT of the world.
Wright and Obama are filled with hate. Jesus wasn't.
Shame on you and all those who beleive his crap!

I dont think he will give any rational explanation but he will double talk like he does about everything. I feel this has exposed him for his true colors and i ay thank God, and o by the way God bless America.

Newt Gingrich had the experience and sense to see that what Rev. Wright said was not racist BUT was certainly inflammatory and divisive rhetoric which is typical of some of the very left-wing views often spoken by the educated elites in our Universities.

Now I don't completely agree with Newt on that BUT I give him credit for seeing what Wright said as what it is, ideological rubbish!

Put a fork in him hes done, he can thank his leader for that. Mccain will beat him in the general election.

I find it hard to believe he'll make comments tomorrow in direct contradiction to his Friday "I never heard these comments". After that 85% of the public siad he lied. Now tomorrow he'll admit to it? deny it more? The guy has lost 17pts in favoribilty in two weeks. There is no way he can convince white middle america he is a good non racist guy after spending 20 years with this man. PA will destroy Obama.

It is great to have a Black Man run for President - just not one with all of this baggage....

Research Hillary Clinton's background when she was 20-40 years old it pales in comparison to Senator Obama's.

More reason to bring Ralph Nader back in the race. A man with a sincere interest in helping all of middle America. Are these the best three candidates we can find???

Nothing can explain this away... it speaks for itself. Examine this by switching the players; had a white person done this they might as well disappear off the planet.

From what I have seen and heard from Ref. Wright all I can assume that Mr. Obama had to agree with what Rev. Wright said to have gone to his church for 20 years.

As a white Obama supporter, I am pretty taken aback by this. I can't understand why he would stay in a church where the pastor had such hateful views. I also can't understand how he could stay and listen while half his family was put down like this. I have to see how my support goes from here out/

I believe it has exposed a side of Obama he was trying to conceal - an affiliation with such characters as Farakhan and now his "pastor". Thank God this came out now and hopefully supporters will see the facts!

The American people would have to be brain dead to accept any explanation by Obama that would attempt to say "I didn't know he was like this"
Obama is toast as far as the general election is concerned.

I am stunned by the preachers comment. I am also stunned that we are at the end of the primaries and not one damn word has been said about the Senator's association with a racist, slanderous man posing as a "religious leader"???? Are you kidding? Where the hell were you guys 6 months ago with this story?

It just stinks. I have lost all faith in believing that Obama has ANY ability to run our country.

I'm not registered democrat but the more I have learned of Obama -- I am screaming for Clinton! There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY Obama did not know what his Pastor represents!!! NO WAY!! If he was that close to his Pastor... I guarantee the way he preaches is the way he believes & therefore is a part of his normal conversation. I agree w/ the first comment. He is a LIAR!

I will forget about Pastor Wright's remarks....in 20 years.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I am white, voted for Obama once, won't twice.

Barrack Obama is either lying about not knowing the kind of messages Jeremiah Wright was preaching or he was actually ignorant to the fact Jeremiah Wright spread these kinds of messages ...either way it proves him unfit to represent the country as a whole.

I've never felt so divided ...the irony is Obama is supposed to transcend race and unite the country. I feel betrayed.

This is not an isolated incident. Obama's wife has never been proud of her country (until her husband became a viable candidate). Rev Wright has given an award to Farakahn. The evidence is mounting that Obama is not a uniter, but has a specifically black agenda. Too bad, we need to be united, but this is polarizing.

I think Obama should "fold, put the cards down, and step away from the table;
maybe have some nachos. He doesn't have to go home, but he can't stay here." (Thank you to Comcast advertising )
His politcial theology sure isn't Christian....

Despite Rev Wright... Obama stays far above politics as usual and comes out of the weekend ahead! Case in points:

McCain Defends Obama - Bill Clinton follows!

John McCain just earned a lot of respect from Barack Obama. Though philosophically they differ, these gentlemen are true examples of great Americans from one side to the other. With this type of attitude, change is taking place and bringing a new breed of American politics to the media. The big question is will the American media encourage and support this change or sacrifice it for a divisiveness that most mythically believes will increase ratings.

Obama Expands Delegate Lead Over Clinton

As Campaign Manager David Plouffe Saturday night, the incredible turn-out and support at Saturdays Iowa county conventions resulted in a net gain of 10 national delegates for Barack Obama. Many of the gains came in the form of John Edwards delegates who decided to realign with Obama.

Actual Texas Results give Obama 6 delegate win!

Obama Total Earned Delegates 99

Caucus Delegates 38 Primary Delegates 61

Clinton Total Earned Delegates 94

Caucus Delegates 29 Primary Delegates 65

Actually, if you include both the caucus vote and the primary vote together, Mr. Obama not only wins the delegate math, but also the caucus and very well could pull out the popular vote in Texas. Obama may win by tens of thousands of votes. If you have a problem with counting the caucus vote in the popular total, then you have a problem with the sate democratic party.

Jim

the sadness in his eyes after covering the issue of the church yesterday was so evident, for any afro-american this should be a happy time but not now.
if this was a white person, with white comments it would be a hate crime. why are things so unbalanced? the double standard has to stop.

As a white person it scares me to think that people can hate other races like they do.

Senator should appear and be questioned by the media. A prepaired speech drafted by an aide is totally unmeaningful and answers nothing.

Media only reports what it wants to report. When will Fox news start reporting news of interest to all people and not just some people.

Your so called news slogan is not true to many Americans of many of the different races. You are the Republican network with conservative mouth pieces.

We don't need opinions. Just do the news and let us decide for ourselves.

BTW, why isn't Fox when it comes to anchors more of a reflection of what I see on the streets. C'mon your pure white and light black. We all see it.

Just an honest opinion.

Obama has duped America. After reading his book, Dreams From My Father, I suspected Obama might be a racist. You can see the undertones throughout his book. Now that I know he has been in such a racist church for 20 years, there is no doubt. This man cannot possibly bring America together. He should withdraw from the presidential race to give the democrats a chance.

It's more than a bit naive to believe anyone is going to willingly sit for 20 years under the teachings of a pastor with whom they don't agree. As presidential hopeful, the teaching of Barak Obama's pastor is VERY important--specifically because it diparages America generally. One would not willingly partake of that if they didn't believe similarly. AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!

This is a sad commentary on Obama and his history with Jeremia Wright. I was intererested in Obama as a candidate. There is no way you can belong to a church for 20 years and not have understood the fabric of Wrights discusting remarks about America. How could he have stayed with this Church. No wonder Obamas wife seems to be anti american. I can't imagine Obama in the White House.

Wright makes me feel extremely disapointed that anyone can harbor so much hate for what occurred generations ago as late as the 60's and WWII. Obama cannot be believable at all saying "he heard none of this???". I was hoping for Obama....not any more. I'll wait for undamaged goods.

How can people not use the word "racist" for this pastor??? How disgusting - No wonder there is so much hate in the world and it's not just by white like the media tries to portray - Now the truth is finally getting out - Thank you Fox News for bringing this out - please continue - We need to be united as a people and it's obvious with Pastor Wright this is not the case. Obama, if he was smart, should have seen this coming since tapes are always available of sermons by Pastors.

Wow...His lead just went down the sink...remember...Behaviour never lies....
Don't listen to what people say....listen to what they do....and have for 20 years...too bad...

I heard your sound bites and I think white people are just shocked to hear the truth. Interestingly, I've heard white people after 911 say some of the same things that Wright said. This reminds me of the segregated south where blacks were prevented from speaking their minds. Wright is just not a step-n-fetch it kind of black man. What about the conservative white christians, they've been saying for years that Americans would be judged for our past.

I think that all of this is much to do about nothing. What the minister stated was nothing but the truth and it is the blindness and denial that has folks up in arms and only pretending to be outraged. We as a people(nation)need a different paradigm when it comes to the discussion of race and in dealing with people of other nations and how we interact with them. The man told the truth and shame on those who are pretending to be insulted. What are you all hearing?
This is not about Obama, it is about those of you with other motivations trying to take advantage of a situation of your own making.

I think we now know where all the hate comes from and the young blacks in this country involved in gangs and crime. They have grown up with this hate filled speech. They can not possible feel any self-esteem. They call this motivation. I do not understand their interpretation of motivation with hate filled speech. They are being taught to hate white people.

Obama has proven his "words" are lies.

Now you wonder what kind of "Change" was he talking about.

America wanted their votes back.

Barak Obama is DONE! Their is no way he will get the white votes who once saw him as a man who transends race. He built his campaign on unity and now he looks as if he associates with anti-American racists. No way he can be the ruler of the free world with associations like this!

Please Keep up the good work. I will not vote for BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The upsetting part of this to me is that a minister would preach such hatred using the name of Jesus as part of any service. I can't help but wonder if this was turned around and Hilary Clinton's pastor preached such hate.

He and his staff are trying to make us believe Rev. Wright's statements were taken out of context, However, anyone can see this was not a one time occurance. All his speeches are filled with hatred and hostility. It's absolutely impossible Obama never heard any of his pastors remarks, being in his parish for approximately 20 years.

GLAD THAT FOX NEWS WAS ON TOP OF THINGS AS USUAL I AM REALLY GLAD THAT THIS CAME OUT

Obama is a bald faced liar. After twenty years he has to know about his pastor's political ideology and I think he subscribes to his ideas wholeheartedly. Wright is a racist and a socialist... so is Obama and his wife. Sticking with his church for the past many years shows me a lot about Obama's judgment. Anyone with half a brain running for public office, especially the presidency, would have distanced himself from this preacher long ago. Qualified to be President????? No way! No with his judgment.

Nothing Obama can say will help me trust him and his wife. We all heard what
Michlle feels, I wonder where all this came from, who has she been listening
to. You can't go to a church for 20 years and not know what Wright's true
believes are. You can't address Wright as an "Uncle" and have him marry you
and baptise your children, and not know or hear about all that was said through the years, give me a break. I am hispanic and the best thing for Obama to do is step down, he can't be trusted with our future.
God bless America.

As far as I am concerned Barack Obama has put the last nail in his coffin when he lied to the American people saying that he never heard this stuff or was aware of it ! What comes to my mind is a picture of newly elected President Obama being told of a terrorist attack. He trys to calm the citizens of our country and then calls his spiritual advisor Rev Wright who appears with him on TV and sings" God Damn America, land that I hate....." I could never trust him to have our best interests at heart.

Since Senator Obama says he wants to move past the "old school" actions and words that used to divide this nation, then he should face the same scrutiny and consequences as any white candidate that had spent 20 years ( and having a very close relationship with the minister) in a church filled with such hate filled speeches based on racism and anger. He may want to be above divisive views on racism in general, but nobody, no matter what race or gender should be above cloe scrutiny when we may put them in charge of running this country for four years. He wants to be treated equally, so ... the mainstream press should treat him equally based upon the evidence.

I think Obama is just as much a racist as his Pastor.......I think his wife is or, almost is Militant.........I liked what he said, but we have enough strife in this world to have such a couple in the white house.

I would like to know if it is true that Ophrah Winfrey quit going to that same church that Obahma goes to because of the Pastors racist comments.

There is no way on God's green earth that a person could be involved with a group (church) for that long and not hear something about what is being said by their leader. That's just common sense. I suspect he will try to fess up tomorrow, but it will be too little, too late. And still he will try to skirt the issue and find some way to sugar coat his relationship with Wright. That's his only hope of surviving the chaos surrounding him now. When people back track they still leave a trail of where they've been and where they're trying to go.

I really don't feel that Senator Obama can do anything to make anyone feel comfortable voting for him at this point.

I chose none of the above. What he should say is .... his pastor's statements made him realize even more so the desperate need for unity between blacks and whites and that he will do everything in his power to do just that. Furthermore, it made him see that the wounds of the past, ie. slavery, were more damaging to his people than even he had realized. Healing those wounds will be one of his goals as President.

Like Greta, I have been a proponent of Black America for the last 40 years, and would gladly leave any church which promoted separatist thinking or personified black people as any less valuable than white people. It was shocking to hear an allegedly educated black pastor speak so vilely of any group of people based on skin color. As far as slavery goes, it occurred 200 years ago and none of the current white population had anything to do with it. As deeply as I regret people of any color being separated from family and their culture to serve without choice, any other culture, I have to say that it's time to let it go. Continuing to promote hate theology against people based on skin color is exactly what black people have accused white people of doing for years. It's time that we are a united people, blind to skin color, and working toward our common goals.

There is no way I want a man who belongs to a hate filled church to be our next president. I am shocked, stunned and deeply offended at the remarks made by Obama's pastor. Although it hasn't been proven, I believe Obama has lied and deceived America about his true beliefs. All of America should be very concerned about this man.

OBAMA LIES! Am I to believe the only time Rev Wright preached hate over 17 years was when Obama was not in Church? 17 years? Hard to imagine.
What did he think when Rev Wright went with Farakhan to Libya to meet with Khadafi? What did he think when Rev Wright presented lifetime achievement award to someone like Farakhan? What did he think when he pulled Rev Wright off the Invocation on his presidential announcement at Springfield, IL because his political team told him Wright was toxic? He knew about the Reverend and his message of hate for white America, you can't fool all the people Obama!

Dear Greta,
Not only is this political suicide but this man has chose to attend this church for twenty years. If he were president and lied as he has done while running for president, woudn't he be charged with prugery? He looked right in the camera and lied about his pastor and being there, he has lied several time about Rezko, he has lied about Nafta and Canada. He has put the racial divided not unite us. I think he is a very good con man, that is it. He has stole more than one speech. I just cannot see how the Democratic party could allow for him to run in he General Election.
Thank you, keep it up and don't let them silence you.

I watched your exchange with your African American colleague ( and friend) and saw the pain in his eyes as discussed Rev. Wright with you. It is devestating that the black community was abused once by its own country and now by Rev. Wright. Hate never unites and I pray that as brothers and fellow Americans we can rise above the moronic rantings of Jeremiah Wright.

I'm so disappointed in Obama. In his response on Friday, he parsed his words when he said he wasn't in the pews for the sermons that are at the center of the controversy. He also said he had heard a "couple of things" before he announced his candidacy. Yet, he went ahead and appointed Wright to his religion committee. He disinvited Wright to speak at his announcement because he knew Wright was controversial. Wright is very well known; his sermons broadcast on the radio in Chicago. He has said he had a very close relationship with this man. So how can he think we believe he didn't know how vile, anti-American Wright is? I didn't vote for Obama in the primary; I would have voted for him in the general. I would not do so now; I cannot trust him. And, what kind of judgement has he exercised as a parent, one's most important role, by exposing his young daughters to this hate-mongering?

I can't believe the news is making such a BIG DEAL of this. What is the difference between Obama and his church and the other candidates??????
I believe Obama is being picked on because HE IS BLACK. and I'm a
caucasian. The Clinton's have gotten what they wanted to happen in the
press, and I believe this problem is ALL THEIR FAULT. Hillary had to do something to gain some popularity. I don't trust Hillary or Bill and I don't put anything past them, anything to benefit them.
Has everyone forgotten what all happened while the Clinton's were in the
White House???? Bill lied himself about his affair. Both of them will look
you straight in the eye and LIE!
Gretta, I love your show and watch it every night. Except tonight-------I
will not watch it with Bill Clinton boasting and bragging. I can't believe you, Gretta, such an intelligent woman, that you would waste your TV time on
him. What's so special about interviewing Bill Clinton???? Next thing, you
will have Hillary on your show. I can't believe it! What a hoax they are!!!

I feel completely sure that once again Mr. Obama will push this issue aside and find something to blast Hillary with. I have said for months that he throws subtle racial comments to "rile" up the black community. I am without question a Hillary supporter, that has done my homework on her. I have studied him to the limits that are available. He has plagurized Hillary's healthcare plans and modified them and "made" them his own. He is a brilliant speaker. He is not truthful person, this has been proven by his comments to all of us last Friday. He lied then , and i feel heel will come up with a "brilliant "speach in the morning aswell.

I am disgusted by the excuses coming from most of the media (if they even report the story) and from Obama. If this were a WHITE minister spewing this type of hate towards any other race, it would be non-stop play on every news show and newspaper. I am shocked that this is what is considered a sermon. How does this kind of hate speech and filth lead anyone to Christ? Who could attend a church like this? And for 20 years! What a double standard there is in this country. There is racism here for sure and much of it directed toward whites.

The only way this would have been acceptable is if obama had walked out of the church the moment the pastor spewed such hatered. I know that that if my pastor did this today I would walk out immediately. You cannot support the man for 20 years and then say you don't agree with his comments for political gain. There are plenty of churches to choose from around chicago.

The comments made by this "so called preacher" are dispicable. He is a hate-monger and the rage that he has incited in his congregation is inexcusable. I don't care how many languages he speaks, the only language that is heard is that of hate for white people. I am not a rich white person, I am a proud white American who no more appreciates his hatred for me and my race than he would appreciate it if I said such inflammatory remarks about him and his race. He should be ashamed of himself and if he thinks that God is on his side, he is sadly mistaken. Shame on you, you sorry excuse for a man of any color.

Mr. Obama should withdraw from the presidential race. He lied to us on T.V. and as far as I am concerned has not credibility.

OBAMA WAS IN THE CHURCH WHEN WIRGHT MADE HIS HATE SPEECH _ CONFIRMED _ READ BELOW

http://www.newsmax.com/politics/Obama_hate_America_sermon/2008/03/16/80870.html

First I have to say I can't believe in anyway that Obama who has been friends with this pastor for over 20 years and not know where this man stood on the white race. He is as much a racist as I have seen either black or white.
To say God Damn america makes me sick. For a pastor to stand behind the pulpit and profess to be a pastor and use our Lords name in vein how dare he. I do not see a man with this kind of friends/mentors? could lead a country founded on God.
To me Obama has lied to cover the lies and the connections with people who are racist.

You could hear the hate in Wrights voice. NO way did Obama not know or his wife. I feel she comes across angry as well After all she has NOT been proud of America until now. Could that be that is becasue her husband WAS doing well in the run for President how does she feel now hearing the hate spewed on Tv by her Pastor?

I am a Democrat but I listen to 77 talk radio and watch the Fox News station. It's amazing how you all sit and behave in the "correct" way. Expressing how disgusted you are by Jeremiah Wright's comments when, over the last few days, you carted more black people on your show than I've ever seen. Are you going to dare to tell me that as you have been putting this together, it has been extremely manipulative to have these black folks on that under normal conditions, you wouldn't.

In fact, I'm going to record from here to the rest of the year and I would bet, I won't see this many black for the rest of the year. Please answer that.

Further, you speak about story's the media keeps alive for the sake of controversy do you not think that you actually care more about his than the people. and, that you are trying to sir the pot and create issues that don't exist. Finally, what part of this has to do with ratings?

As an objective observer, I feel a sense of disappointment over the Wright comments and how it may have changed history. This is overwhelmingly at least a 50 year set-back to African Americans and their future potential to reach political prominence. What a shame! I think it is devastating that one man can come so close to closing a gap and a supporter could not only dash his hopes but all the hopes and dreams of African Americans everywhere. The reverberations of hate will be heard for many years to come and The United States of America will be years away from healing the damage.

How can any man of God preach such hate against his fellow man and country? Obama now onlyseems to be a well educated, smooth talking, racist con man.

if he dont like usa y he isliving in usa?s.......................................................and mishal obama..y???????????????????????????????????

I'd like to know if he allowed his children to be exposed to the bigoted preachings of this pastor. Its every bit as abhorent as people who take their kids to white supremacist meetings. Disgusting!

I was wondering how long it would take the negro community to step up and knock Obama off his pedistal. Black folks think Black Power is agression, and acuse whites for all the things wrong with being Black in America. Yet they don't see that Black Power is Education, learning, and they have Black Hero's like Colin Powell, Obama, Oprah, Cosby, and we can go on and on. So how sad is it that this so called Man Of God should be the downfall of Obama. How ironic, just another example of Black on Black Crime, the crime of bringing down, another example of Black promise.

I have been a member of my church for 20 years. I could never distance myself from the views of my Pastor that would be hypocritical. If you disagree with the mission statement of your church you should find another church. I am wondering if 1. Obama has been dishonest about his attendance; maybe he doesn't really attend church at all or 2) he holds to and agrees with the views of his Pastor. This is political suicide because all Christians know that we are to edify others, not tear them down. Also God is not a respecter of persons and does not see skin color. The beauty of this country is that we can correct our errors and our social attitudes without fear of penalty and with the assurance of forgiveness from God if we repent. Pastor Wright needs to make a trip into the 21st century. A good Pastor with a TRUE calling from God does not bring division or promote radical religiousity. He or She seeks unity and as 2Tim 1:7 says; God does not bring a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind!

Not only does Barack need to denounce the rants of this minister, he needs to specifically state what he believes. What does he think about 911? Is the reason he did not vote with the other Senators and stand united with the united states on the vote to go to Iraq because he believes the US is to blame? Is this why he would be willing to talk with our enemy's? Would he be out there apologizing for America? I am proud to be American. I think this should not only remove himself from the Presidential race but he should resign from the Senate. Look what happened to Trent Lott and many others. This should not be tolerated by anyone, not even a black man.

I have gone to the same church for 20 years and if my pasture had a sermon like wright presents we would have run him off from the pullpit and he would have been no more!! The people I go to church with would caught this very early in his siemon!!

I don't think Obama can ever explain this away. Everyone keeps saying that it's just sound bites, but it is sound bites that come from more than one sermon. Obama refered to this man as his spiritual advisor. Doesn't an advisor give you advice? Obviously, if you are taking advice from someone you have to agree with their opinions on some level. I think Obama is more involved with this man than he is willing to admit now that he's running for president. There is no way he had a relationship with this man unless he agreed with him to some extent. Do you hang around at the same place and with the same people if you don't have things in common with them? Come on, let's get real. Wright is a racist and an America Hater. How long would McCain or Hillary be in this race if they had a white pastor that spoke this hate and preached this separation of the races. Let's be clear. A spade is a spade. This has really upset me. I had high expectations for Obama and the changes in America he could make. No changes, just a different mouth piece. I think it's over for him. I've talked to too many of the little people as the voter could be called, black and white and everyone's opinion is about the same. We feel like we've been duped by someone that's a great speaker. It's Over!

Pastor Wright is anti-American and so is Obama. He won't wear the flag pin, and he will not hold his hand over his heart while saying the pledge of allegiance.

Where in our approach to creating a government of the people for the people that we decide to disregard dissenting views?

Was it the way that Rev Wright preached his sermons what caused some Americans to be afraid, be very afraid? Is it the root thread in the Hillary 3am message that we see as "coming home to roost"?

I was wondering how long it would take the negro community to step up and knock Obama off his pedistal. Black folks think Black Power is agression, and acuse whites for all the things wrong with being Black in America. Yet they don't see that Black Power is Education, learning, and they have Black Hero's like Colin Powell, Obama, Oprah, Cosby, and we can go on and on. So how sad is it that this so called Man Of God should be the downfall of Obama. How ironic, just another example of Black on Black Crime, the crime of bringing down, another example of Black promise.

thank you fox news for being the only net-work covering this story.Iwish you would bring up the fact that Rev.Wright is also anti-semetic and anti Isreal and that Louis Faracant recieved a lif-time achievement award from the church.As a jewish american I will never vote For Obama and am disappointed in the Democratic party.

Happy days are here again! It is going to be lots of fun watching all of those dumb Democrats scurry around with THIS (Oh oh) race mongering junk. This might even catch some of those dumb Democrats' attention that the USA is at war. And some of them might even (hopefully) vote REPUBLICAN. And next apologize for being a Democrat to the rest of us.

Thank God this came out when it did. To 'Preacher'Wright I am grateful if this is what other black churches are preaching across the country. Seems like a lot of them are in one accord.
Wright you are so Wrong!
The truth is that God made us all and He Alone determined which color we would each be in this life. He obviously liked the colors He gave us, therefore who are we to, and why should we dare to judge another for the color of our skin. How foolish.

It is impossible to believe that he sat in that church 20 years without soaking up the comments and in some way agreeing with them His wife apparently speaks the language of their pastor. Can Barak live in the atmosphere of his pastor and "uncle" and even have his wife speak the language, without it becoming part of who he is?

I listened to the program tonight and why are the other achievements and programs not taken fully into consideration with Rev Wrights church. Let me reverse that-Was Don Imus given ANY CONSIDERATION for his phenominal contributions in money and time to poor/sick kids of all color at his ranch or other civic assistance-NO; THE BLACK LEADERS got him fired from his job and disgraced. His was but a few second time bite in time. Obama was two decades and you will NEVER convince me that he wasn't fully aware of Rev Wrights RACIST POSITION AGAINST ANYONE NOT BLACK. Remenber-Obama is 51% WHITE (HIS MOTHER). Yet he calls himself black; slap in the face to those not of color...think about it!!

I am white and I have been to black churches and have never heard this kind of rhetoric. Church pastors are supposed to teach love for all.
I dont believe that he attended this church for 20 years and did not know. Explaining wont help me decide. To be fair I would not vote for him anyway but it is not because of his color but for his liberalism. I was very proud when I thought that we had come far enough to have a black president but hatred doesnt look any better on a black than it does on a white.
I am sorry that this is the black man that was chosen to be the first to run. I am afraid we will have a mess now and set back unity for years.

Senator Obam can only repair the damage by having Rev. Wright arrested for sedition.

Sedition is a term of law which refers to covert conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority as tending toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel.

Obama: What is good for the goose is also good for the gander! That holds true for black comments against Caucasian, Hispanice, et al. You and Rev. Jeremiah Wright should be held to the same standard that other Americans have (i.e., talk radio shows hosts, politicans, etc.) had to attend.

Obama would have been better off if he would have just told the truth right away when he was first confronted about his knowledge about his pastors views. Instead everyone believes that he lied to the American people and now we think, if he is going to lie to us about this what will he lie to us about when he is President. We don't trust him or believe what he says now. He has lose our TRUST...

Simply impossible to believe that Pastor Wright only gave his rantings and ravings when Obama and family were not pesent. And even if Obama were not present, how could Obama not know of his pastor's views after associating with him for some twenty years.... Obama said the pastor is "family" to him. Obviously, Obama knew. If I attended a church where a pastor spoke in such degrading and inflammatory terms, I would leave the church if it did not represent my views. There is absolutely no way that Obama can explain or talk his way out of this. It represents the ultimate in hypocracy. Very sad and very troubling. Obama has shown very poor judgment and should have explained this in the very beginning, if indeed it can be explained. There is nothing he can say tomorrow in his press conference that will convince me otherwise. He is not who he says he is and I would be very fearful of a man like that leading our nation.

Not only does Rev. Wright spew racist venom and anti-American ideology, but the Trinity United Church of Christ that Obama belongs to PLEDGES THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO AFRICA and to uplifting the BLACK people! How can a member of this church, as President of the United States of America, be a President for ALL of America? How can he possibly put America before Africa? People must realize this particular church is NOT PART OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST religion that is well known in the USA. It is a BLACK separtist church! Further, I believe it is because of his affiliation to this church and his allegiance to Africa that Barack Obama refuses to wear a flag pin on his lapel, that he refused to put his hand over his heart during our National Anthem as all the other Democratic candidates did at one political event in Iowa. That was not a matter of "forgetting" or an "oversight" as Obama would have you believe.

It`s about time Obama has been "outed". He has been given a pass up until the truth about his church was revealed, For the good of the democratic party, he should withdraw from the campaign and let Hillary be the nominee. We would then have a real campaign between 2 legitimate candidates, even though I am not happy with either of them.

Corrine,

Obviously you did not do enough of research. It is obviuos your research end when you read the first article at Newsmax.com, well they recanted and that journalist is not so sure any more about him seeing Obama at the church on July 22.

If your investigation were so thorough, you would have found that Obama was speaking in a Convention in Maimi on that particular day; that says alot about the credibility of the journalist:

Disgusting, makes me sick to my stomach. Nothing Obama says will do any
good. Racism at its best.

Everyone think about this. Last year Obama and his campaign knew Wright was a problem when they asked him to not attend his presidental bid announcment. Given the stakes were big for Obama why did Wright continue to spew hate and racism and sell a DVD of the best of Wright when it could get back to hurting Obama. Was it just plain dumb or are Obama and wright so arrogant in their beliefs of this they just don't care. Obama is soooo egotistical that he thought this would not bring him down. I have not seen Obama this down since the primaries began. Look at his eyes the magic is gone.

I do not believe that Obama was part of this congregation for 20 years and did not know what was going on in his church. I too think Obama lied about not knowing about Rev. Wright's believes and teachings. Remember too, Wright is also a personal friend of the Obamas. I was saddened to find out about this. I will not vote for Obama as president of the United States because of his accusation with this man.

Toby in Alaska

We are a country with the ability to have Freedom of speech. Reverand Wright had his but what he said and how he said it makes me sick.

I am so confused as to who our next President should be. We are a country falling in so many ways. As a Repulican I have had to consider John McCain. I wanted to look at Hilary and Barack. But looking at Barack now makes me wonder how this man can stand before any of us and not realize who Reverand Wright is from all these years. That is just a blatant lie. I would know my mentor. If Barack Obama's mentor is Reverand Wright he needs to go back and reavaluate who he is

I have gone to church long enough that we do talk about sermons after church and we know who stands at the pulpit every Sunday. That is why we continue to go to a church we want to belong to.

But what makes me even madder is the control the church has on their people. To tell them not to talk to the media. Don't each and every one of us have a right to say what we feel. How could the church control their people. That church is showing their power and control over their congregation. They think the silence of their congregration will "protect" Senator Obama. That congregration knows Barack has attended church for years and years and he knows how that preacher can be. To never known he spoke like that is a blatant lie.

I do not want a President who lies. I did not have sex with that women is a quote we will never forget. But what Barack Obama has said will follow him throughout his career whether he is President or not.

No matter what he says tomorrow. The damage is done. Sound bites or none. Reverend Wright spoke it and it is digusting. Barack Obama lost my vote and my respect.

It is too late. He should have done it 20 years ago and separated himself from the hate message. How can he represent white people when he has such disdain for them?
If someone belonged to a racist group for a few years ten years ago it would be enough to spoil his chances. This man supported a racist organization for most of his adult life.
I am concerned for the damage it has done to race relations in this country. To see black people cheering him on in his hate speech is very sad for me and others in this country that thought we were trying to put racism behind us. That was an ugly part of our history, we do not need to resurrect it.
I am concerned for the younger generation that is being fed that in his church. It is a sad day for America when racism is flaunted this way.

How is it that we cannot see the God's judegment is beig poured out on America and the rest of the world with it? How is Wrights comments any more or less wrong than Hagee? Simple....Wright is preaching his politics and Hagee is preaching his reliogous beliefs.

Obama has bought into it, hook line and sinker - or he would have left long ago.

It's a shame that Obama (or anyone else for that matter) must answer for what others say or think. I wonder if Rev. Wright really loves all people of the world or just blacks. He speaks as if white people owe him. I was raised to beleive our riches come from God, not rich white people. By the way, I don't always agree with what my priest says, however, I am thankful no one demands that I answer for him.

Did you look at the congregation at Trinity United Church of Christ during Rev Wright's sermon?? Were ALL the people in the pews standing, clapping, shouting amen brother, tell it like it is?? NO!

Newt Gingrich had the experience and sense to see that what Rev. Wright said was not racist BUT was certainly inflammatory and divisive rhetoric which is typical of some of the very left-wing views often spoken by the educated elites in our Universities.

Now I don't completely agree with Newt on that BUT I give him credit for seeing what Wright said as what it is, ideological rubbish!

I once though that Obama could transcend race. But as my faith tells me and Obama tells us, Rev. Wright is his spiritual advisor. Do we understand what that means? I do and take my spiritual advisor very seriously. We are who we associate with, to some degree, especially after 20 years. It is also very difficult to believe that after 20 years of sermons he had no idea of these remarks and if he had no idea why did he pull him from the introduction of his campaign. I would not have done my spiritual advisor that way. Also, how do you take your children to services with that kind of language? I thought we were better and above this stuff. I feel for Ted and his interview with the parishoner. God Bless Tommy

Mr. Obama says he was never in attendance at any of these sermons, and was unaware of them until they recently came to light. How can someone go to the same church for 20 years and not have heard it or heard about it? With a congregaton of 8,500 surely he talked to someone, or did he never speak to another parishoner? That would lead to some SERIOUS credability problems. You don't disinvite YOUR Pastor to the biggest point in your political career, and say he can get pretty heated in those sermons, and not know. SO HE DID KNOW! I am appaled by those comments as an American. What ever happened to seperation of church and State? The IRS should take a hard look at this church.

a black man that wins the white house has not been born yet! why?
too much hate to sell; hate sells! ask these clowns listed below!

jesse jackson - rev al sharpton - the moron "N" word farachan, or who ever the scum spells his name and several others!

these boys have one agenda - sell and make money; and the poor black folk! eat it up! it keeps them hungry - non responsible - ignorant - and assures the whities to continue the hate!

the blacks have proven over and over and over again how ignorant they are and then here comes white folks like hillary who promises them more and more money! not because she wants to help as much as it is for the vote! americans can not deny it!

al sharton is now on greta and delivering more shit! can a black person ever admit that they are wrong or responsible for their actions!

if my cathloic priest ever spopke that way? u no the results!

obama is a "N" we know it and now they know it!

I"m a young black male 32 yrs of age, grew up in a black church, now part of a multi culture church since 8 years. I think that the certain media are doing all they can to bring B. Obama down. Look at the things they are using to try to cast doubt on the american public that he is not all that most people feel he is cracked up to be. Its pretty obvious he will win the presidency based on the last 8 years of horrifying leadership which i'm sure we as americans do not want to repeat by handing over our top position of our government to the repulicans again. And if he gets passed the Clintons its pertty much a done deal as far as him winning the whole thing. But as you can see certain media will not let this happen with out as some call it "throwing the kitchen sink" at him, because that's what it will take for those certain doubters to stop this movement. And as you can see even with all this negativity being thrown at him, he still is in a great postition to win the Dem Nomination. Lastly, if you took sound bites from any of the 15 years i attened the small black church, i would be in trouble also..lol. Come on people, the guy is our best chance as us as americans to reach a better place then we are now and we will only do that by understanding each others culture, respecting it and learning from it.

OBAMA HAS TOO MANY GRAY AREAS IN HIS WHOLE POLITICAL LIFE, LET ALONE HIS PERSONAL LIFE. HE IS NOT READY TO BE PRESIDENT, BUT MAYBE ONE DAY WHEN HIS LIFE IS PUT IN ORDER AND THE BARNDOOR IS CLOSED AND ORDERED, HE WILL MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT. UNLESS WE FIND OUT MORE DEVISIVE TRASH.

Barrack Obama had to be well aware of his Pastor's feelings and comments about America. His wife's comments certainly reflect the Pastor's influence. I have long felt that the Senator's eloquence in speech does not give a true reflection of the substance or beliefs of the man. There is no way of knowing what his policies and behavior would be in the Whitehouse. He is an unknown.

REVERSE RASCISM IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL AND THESE COMMENTS, THANK GOD, BRING IT TO THE FOREFRONT! ANYBODY THAT DEFENDS THESE COMMENTS ARE SIMPLY A PART OF THE "HATE AMERICA " MOVEMENT AND WE NEED TO WAKE UP AND DEAL WITH THESE TREASONOUS ACTS. BOTTOM LINE ----OBAMA IS A LIAR !!!!!---- GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

He's been lieing since he started, this information has been out since last year but the media now runs with it because they didn't want to face Clinton when they knew they had a bomb to unleash on Obama. There plan is working again, because the DNC screwed up. DNC should have back there best candidate instead of this racist bum. Lied about talking to Cananda, about Resko, about his church, and so much more! He's toast!

When the Rev. Wright was ranting about Obama being raised by a single mother, I noted he did not mention that Obama's father left the family and the father was a black man. Sen. Obama and his wife have done quite well for themselves, with a $1.6 million dollar home, his wife's salary is $300,000 per year, Sen. Obama's salary is probably $200,000. I was also raised by a single mother and I haven't faired quite as well. The Obama's certainly don't seem to be eating beans for supper each night! I was originally a supporter and waivered back and forth between Obama and Clinton. I am a Democrat and would NEVER vote for Sen. Obama. No children should have been in that church with all the hateful comments. I even turned the TV down when it is replayed and my four year old grandson was in the room

I am a Pentacostal Christian member of a very large (and loving) church. If any of my Pastors would spew this kind of hatred from the pulpit my family and myself would not return. I have tried to look at this from all angles in view of the fact that I really liked Obama but the bottom line is this - There is only one reason why any individual would sit under the teaching of any pastor for 20 years and that is that the individual likes and agrees with the pastor's message. Obama scares me now.

The damage is done. What every Obama says now to correct this situation will only make things worse. Obama must think we will believe anything.

I concur, the pain on your associates face was terrible. I know it hurt him greatly to do his job. But I praise him for his willingness to seek truth, regardless of where it leads. It's really too bad that Senator Obama didn't have tour freind as a mentor, instead of "Mr racist, whack-o 'pastor Wright'"

Medrassa schooling, Racist church, Marine?????, Anti American Pastor, a lot of "Presents" voting...Who is Obamma? Backed by Kerry and Kennedy.

What exactly can Obama do to counteract Rev Wright' comments?
Really, not much.
Although Obama is not totally Black, he is still considered a Black and attends a Black church. Let us remember that the Black Church was the ONLY place where a Blac could voice his/her opinions before the fall of Segregation.
No White person that I know will say, "Oh, Obama is half White."
In America, in the past, even one drop of African American blood made you a negro. Ridiculous? Yes, but it is true. It is getting better, but not because White Americans made it better. The most permanent change is made and will continue to be made by those people who are blind enough to a person'as skin that they will marry out of their race. They are the true heroes of segregation and their children will heal and make this Country strong. It will not be the Blacks, nor the Whites, because both races are prejudiced.
IT WILL BE THE CHILDREN--THE OTHERS, who will heal America and make it the New United States of America, with true freedon and equality for ALL!

As a democrat it is sad that I have to go to Fox to get the real news. I hope other stations investigate Mr. Obama actual attendance at the church during the racial remarks by cross referencing his church donations to his attendance via tax returns in which you have to give dats of donations.

As disappointed as I am in Obama's so called pastor, I'm just as disappointed in the lack of coverage from all the major networks regarding this hatred. If it were not for Fox news, this country would be doomed.

NOW THAT I HAVE HEARD PASTOR WRIGHTS SERMONS I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY OBAMAS' WIFE SAID THAT UP TILL NOW SHE HAS NOT BEEN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. WITH A PASTOR LIKE WRIGHT AND SITTING UNDER THIS KIND OF JUDGEMENTAL NEGATIVE SO CALLED PREACHING I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SHE HAS NOT BEEN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.BY BELIEVING ALL THIS JUNK.HAVING THIS KIND OF TEACHING AS THE SAYING GOES, GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT. ALTHOUGH OBAMA HIMSELF HAS HAD A PRETTY GOOD WAY OF HIDING THE REAL TRUTH OF THE ISSUE WHICH IS RACISM.

The damage is done. What every Obama says now to correct this situation will only make things worse. Obama must think we will believe anything.

I understand that blacks include in their preaching the unique history they have in our country. They have endured way too much wickedness from whites in some of that history. However, his preaching should focus on Christ's love and strengthening power and how divine it is to forgive. He instead preaches separation and division because of the past. There is probably no reasonable person who will believe that Obama and his family attended there all those years without hearing these strong ideas. For him to suggest such is dishonest and makes us all out to be fools. Not presidential material in yet another way.

I have very much respect for Ted Williams. I think he is a fair an honest man and was deeply upset by this news.

I am somewhat concerned about his comment that Rev. Wright has caused many problems for Barack Obama on ON THE RECORD. Please note - this may not be the actual quote. He may have been putting this in a different context - which I give him all due respect.

Barack Obama has caused many problems for Barack Obama. Just goes to show what happens when anyone is lifted to such a high standard, without investigating and asking tough questions.

In this country we have the ability to ask, question, dig, check the facts and too often we fail in this regard when selecting the legislative and executive branch that control our lives.

History is repeating itself on a daily basis.

I know "hate" when I hear it or see it.
How can you sleep through years of sermons... from a man that preaches hate and sounds like a racist.
This is the type of "judgment" Obama admires and the "Change" Obama wants for America.
Obama should be selling used cars. What a line of B.S..

The Emperor has no clothes

Joe

This Pastor is a disaster. He brought race into the race.

I was at a party on Saturday. As the topic of the elections came up, and inevitably this outrage, and Obama became tied to Wright. five of us democrats, all fence sitters before the weekend. All five, without equivocation jumped to McCain-end of story! Obama can say nothing that would mitigate this for it would only sound like, "My dog ate my homework" excuse. He is right about one thing though-words matter.

And another thing lets say that if there was anything at all to folks pretending to be oh so hurt and outraged; please, all you Roman Catholics are nothing but a bunch of co pedophiles and just as guilty as all the Church leaders who knew about the rape and molestation of children and yet did nothing and even tried to cover all of it up. It is nothing but an attempt at using a distortion in attempt to be rid of Obama. Those of you claiming you have changed your mind are lying and never supported the man in the first place.

I'm from Illinois and don't know much about Sen Obama. As far as I know he has not done anything for Illinois. Being associated for 20 years with the Rev. Wright indicates much about what Obama thinks and how he will run the country. In order to unite all peoples we have to put aside all differences and think and act as Christians. Many other ethnic peoples have been and are still discriminated against including white people. Mrs Obama must have had a miserable life being able to afford Princton and Harvard. My nine children couldn't afford this.

I always thought of Obama as a person who could bring the country together. But now I have second thoughts and will go back to drawing board.

Watch out for more silver-tongued spin tomorrow.
Even if Obama is trying to do the right thing [non pun intended], his followers are inciting a divisivness not seen for years...almost militant on the blogs.

If Mr. Oboma has been listening to this preacher for over 20 years he can't help but be effected by his thoughts and messages. He (Oboma) looks up to his pastor and believes what he says or he would have found a new church that wasn't a hate church against white people. He is running for the office of the President of the United States. An office that represents all people. Now Oboma can't fairly serve due to the years of being subjected to this and will hebe prejudiced against all whites.

The only person that is responsible for these comments is Rev. Wright. None of us agree 100% with what minister say. If I can agree 75%-80% of what a person stands for that is OK with me. Also, a lot of what than man says is true, yes, the Gov lied and let us to war, yes, the Gov lied and gave Black folks syphillis, yes balck folks can still not rent homes in certain neighborhoods and yes, we STILL have a race issues all across the US. We need someone to come forward and talk openly about race issues in this country. Secondly, in the Black community most our the Black movements started in the church by ministers. I believe Obama is sincere and I will support him in PA. I can not hold against him what church he attends, who he associates with in his neighborhood. You can he friendly with people but not share all of their views.

After attending a congregatiion for 20 years there is no way Obama can't talk his way out of this one. Does he think America is that stupid that he can attend a church for 20 years and then have this same Reverend on his campaign and not know any of these comments existed? It is far to late to denounce Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Now when you listen to the comment of Michelle Obama about being proud of her country for the first time in her adult life this was no mistake, it sounds just like a sermon Reverend Wright would give. For a man who states how he relies on his good judgement how can he explain Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko and William Ayers???? The comments the reverend made against Hillary and Bill Clinton were horrid, if any white person on the Hillary team were to make such racist statements her entire campaign would be in the news until dooms-day. Why doesn't the same policy apply to African Americans when they make such racist hatred statements???? Barack Obama is not worthy to be president of our wonderful nation. Barack Obama change we can believe in or "Just Words"? Wake up America and realize the irony!!! The truth always comes out in the end, is this the person we want for the democratic nominee, I think not. And believe me I'm sure Obama will have an eloquent speech prepared for his news conference, it's up to America not to by into this charade anymore and wake up and smell the coffee!!! We have suffered through President Bush, we do not need to suffer through Barack Obama and his good judgement ability!!! This kind of "Change" we do not need!

It doesn't matter what Obama says tomorrow he is finished. I am so thankful this came out now instead of after the general election in the event he (Obama) could have possibly won. I am a white middle class male and thought that he was the right man for the presidency. I know now that we as Americans have one choice for the general election and that is McCain. He has everything that is needed to be president of this wonderful nation that we take for granted quite often. Thank you Sean Hannity and FOX for exposing the truth about this so called man they call Obama. I guess I got caught up in the Obamania, thanks for bringing me back to my senses.

Because the president attends the Catholic church and is fully aware of what those nasty priests do to those little boys, does he condone the behavior? and... he gives 10% of his income for their efforts. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE!!!

How can all this Obama supporters not see this for what it is. Obama is a racist as is Wright. Why else stay at that church. Why have him perform your wedding and if Baptize your girls What is Obama teaching his girls? to be a racist? I will say it again I feel Mrs Obama does believe as Pastor Wright. Watch her campaign speeches. Watch her expressions. To me she always looks angry when talking about America.
Thank God this has all come out. Wake up America do we want a racist for the leader of OUR country ?

On the subject of Rev. Wright's church and all of the good his church has done as aired today, I would like to comment. As for as I am concerned the racism and hatred for America nullifies any good the church has done. I am sure Hitler did some good things too.

Toby in Alaksa

I guess he thinks Americans are stupid. To think that he was part of a church for over 20 years and not know the views of his pastor is totally unbelievable. His judgement and leadership are certainly in question.

He should step down, he does not deserve to be President of the United States. I am ashamed of the media for not scrutinizing him up until now. I give Hannity a lot of credit for taking the lead on this, and trying to get to the bottom of it.

Unfortunately, it is too late. Obama can not say anything tomorrow in his speech that will convince the American people that he doesn't share the views of his Pastor. His wife's statements, "The first time I am proud to be an American", Obama not pledging Allegiance to the Flag, his friendships with Resko, Farrahkan, and Bill Ayers sure complete the puzzle of who this man is and what he stands for. "Change", his slogan has finally be answered, and it scares me as it does thousands of people I speak with across the United States.

Al Sharpton's point does not answer or excuse Obama for this type of anti-American attitude. This is his mentor of 20 years, give me a break he is another politician trying wiggle his way out of this and he can't, because it is not just Pastor Wright, but all of the many associations he has that are shady to say the least. He doesn't deserve to be the President of the United States.

I as well as many others have asked the democratic party and Howard Dean personally to ask him to gracefully exit the race. We can not have this kind of man in the White House if we want a united nation under God.

He has cooked his goose, now it is time to live with it.

As a democrat i would never support someone who has gone to a church like this for 20 years and if he gets the nominee i will vote for mcaine, and chew my arm off later..lol.

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL

I dont think Rev Wrights words were anti American. I dont find his words hatefull. All he said was how he felt. Many believe that 911 was our foes striking back at the policy that the U S has.

America can not still deal with race. When you talk about the working class not supporting Obama, we dont say the real reason, which is that will not support a blackman for president and the Clinton campaign knows this. Every time they can some one from their camp will remind us that Barac is a black man.

We all know that there are more reasons that we went to war then what we are told. It is a facts that the government has performed some unauthorized research programs on black people. So when Blacks talk about being untrusting of the government it is anti American and unbelievable.

You only have to look at what happen to the Jene Six to see we have not come far from the past.

Minister Wright was only pointing out what he thinks. My Pastor says many things and many things I totally agree with and some I question.

It is just food for thought

First off, let me say that I am a 26 year old white man. Second, I am not offended by the pastors words at all. Third, i find it ironic that every time fox news goes to commercial they say they are fair and balanced.

Rev. Wright was just speaking his mind, some people are very ignorant and have no clue what life is like for blacks. It should be offensive to you, it should open your eyes to the lives they have lead.

As far as the comment about 9/11, Do you think we would have been bombed if we had never gone over in that region in the first place??? We are a bully to smaller nations and finally the lil guy got a sucker punch in. Our country needs to seriously adjust its foreign policy.

You can end terrorism by killing terrorists.

I CAN'T HARDLY LISTEN TO THAT MAN CONDEM ALL OF AMERICANS,THE EVIL THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS LIKE THE FIRE FROM HELL IT SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ME TO THINK WE COULD EVEN'T HAVE A MAN RUNNING FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE COUNTRY.I HAVE FREINDS OF ALL COLORS AND THIS CHURCH MAKES ME ILL AND HAS SET US BACK YEARS.I WHO DO NOT GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY,IF I EVEN'T HEARD
THAT MY PASTOR THINKS THAT WAY I WOULD OF WALK RIGHT OUT BEWARE THIS CHURCH REMINDS ME OF A HATE EVIL UNKIND PLACE.I THOUGHT YOU WENT TO CHURCH TO LEARN ABOUT CHRIST AND GOD IS A GOOD GOD NOT A MEAN GOD.HAS SOMEONE INFORMED THAT PASTOR IAM RALLY NOT SURE HE SHOULD BE CALLED PASTOR HES NUTS.AND I BELIEVE ALOT OF HIS SURMONS WERE LIKE THIS OR WORSE. GOD HELP US ALL WITH PEOPLE LIKE THIS RUNNING LOOSE. PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR VOTE CAREFULLY.

It is unfortunately too late for Senator Obama. He knew some time ago (by his own admission) the extreme hat-mongering views of a man he says inspires him.

I see this as a sad day for the African American community---with all the world watching to have swept so much under the carpet before the American public whom he asked to trust in his campaign of hope and judgment. His words ring hollow and he no longer credible. As for being the Democratic nominee? He should step down, as it is imminently clear that should he win the nomination he will cost the Democrats the White House--he is no longer electable in the general election against a red, white and blue American POW war hero with 20 years in the Senate under his belt (all while the Obamas were still in school).

Had the people known only a few weeks ago what they know now, he would not be ahead in this campaign, and the Superdelegates MUST take all this into consideration and vote with their heads not the numbers game Senator Obama has effectively played up to now. That is what they were created for.

It should also be remembered that the pledged delegates are NOT a guarantee until they are actually seated at the convention and can be changed beforehand

Where was his judgment for the past 20 years? That on which he has based his campaign. The recent revelations also explain a lot about the remarks made by Michele Obama.

Kennedy (Ted), had Chappaquiddick--and Obama has Rev. Wright, William Ayers, and Tony Rezco---ironic.

My first impression of Obama's wife was that she is an angry black woman Everytime I hear her speak my impression remains unchanged. Now I know where that anger comes from. As a female I have been discriminated against by some form most of my life. Most women have but the anger this "man of god" spews is anti any religion. Where did Obama have his head when the leader of his church preached such hatred? I sure don't want him answering the phone anytime in the white house.

To Pat,
It is a good thing for people to see inside all churches which pervert the Christian religion. To defend one church which is wrong, against another which is wrong, does not make either wrong, Wright.

There is absolutely NO way O'bama can do anything to distance himself from Rev. Wright and his message of hate. He chose this church because of this man. He stayed with him for 20 yrs. He KNEW what was in Wright's heart. This was NOT an accident. It doesn't matter how much good Wright may have done, this shows his hateful heart towards whites and America. His is an US vs. THEM message, not an us and we. O'bama's message is: Hope, change, future, and bringing people together. No way he can do that if he has spent 20 yrs. with his hateful man. He should have been vocally and very publicly challenging Rev. Wright's anger towards whites and America. He should've tried to change his pastor's message to one of forgiveness and moving on. If he couldn't do that, he should've left. He did nothing! He needs to STAY in the senate and prove that he can "reach across the aisle" and bring people together. He needs to stay in that church and CHANGE that angry mentality and prove that he IS THE agent of change and a real candidate that will represent ALL Americans. He has done NOTHING so far to prove he is willing or capable to do any of this.

I always try to step back and look at every situation from an objective point of view. I think that most of us do or have associated with people who have a strongly different point of view often times appalling to us. Many times we become creatures of habit and continue on with practices without really hearing what is said. Often times many of us fail to look inside our own selves prior to judging others.

Certainly the comments made by Wright were the worst of the worst; however after some research it seems that their chuch has done a number of things to assist with the problems and challenges facing their community.

I also find it difficult to belive that all 8000+ members have taken to heart and align themselves with the that type of thinking. If that was the case I believe it would have any community good works.

In reality many people join a chuch because their family has always gone there or it is near their home regardless of content. I believe the fact that the senator and his familiy attend church is commendable in a time when most churchs are losing members is commendable.

It is always disturbing to realize that we as a nation haven't come as far as we should have. I await the day when these types of discussion are not necessary and that people on both sides don't thrive on this type of negativity.

ok leave the man alone im white and a republican and i think enough is enough! so his pastor is a dumb ass that does not mean he is. he said he does not agree with him and has distant his self from him so lets move on and spend our time on electing mccain. his pastor has already knocked him out of the race.thanks, andy

And so we are supposed to believe we (caucasians), are ALL racial? I am not in the least racial, but I do believe that because of this kind of seemingly typical mindset of the Black community, we as America would be in trouble if Obama were to become President. This is the attitude of hate that whites are accused of, and we ALL know it is true that if a white person was to spout like Rev. Wright has been shown to do, we would be having to hear way too much crying out of prejudice. If Obama were to become President we would plain and simply be in BIG trouble.

I have openly campaigned against Hillary for 6 months and almost swore I would not vote for her. I am apologizing now to my friends for being so wrong.

When mr. Obama lied to us (no one can be as stupid as he thinks we are) about not knowing about any of those remarks, I was immediately relieved
that our state has not had our primary yet. I will pray for the mans soul,but I would never vote for him.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

If Obama was being cosidered as a Supreme court judge, he would never pass the the scrutiny of the Congress and Senate due to his associations with questionable people.

On Greta's show tonight, an interview was shown with the associate pastor. In it, he kept saying how the media never points out any of the good things the church has done (he mentioned a long list of things), but only focuses on the times when Pastor Wright has made strong statements against America. I find this ironic because Pastor Wright never appears to focus on any of the good things America has done. He only focuses on the skeletons in the closet. Sure, America has committed wrongs in the past as have all countries. No country is perfect just as no person is perfect. There's good and bad. If one is going to evaluate a person, place, or thing, then the evaluation should include the good and bad. So, the associate pastor shouldn't complain about how the media has left out the good things his church has done if his church (and Pastor Wright) are not going to include some of the good things America has done.

There is nothing Obama can do to separate himself from Rev. Wright without hurting himself with his core supporters. If he denounces his preacher he looks like a traitor and if he doesn't he looks like a racist. It is too late for Obama to say he didn't know his pastor and mentor of twenty years. It too late to kick him off the campaign or for Rev. Wright to resign. It is too late for Obama to leave the church. It is too late to say I'm soory!

You CANT end terrorism by killing terrorists.

What America sees are two things. First, should Obama get the presidency (and it doesn't look like he will even if he is the nominee) Rev. Wright will be calling the shots. In other words Obama wouldn't really be the president - Wright would.

Also, the statements that Michelle Obama has made in the past now make sense. It is very apparent she has been well indoctrinated and schooled by Wright.

I'm white and I am not racist. I have always enjoyed Ted on your show and find the suffering he endured to go seek the truth, well, difficult to see. I feel for him because I think he feels very let down by Barack Obama, and sorry to see that a person he looked up to, has fallen seriously short on "honesty and integrity." I am sorry Ted. May God Bless you.

Even if Obama can explain how these remarks are not his views, the whole siutation speaks to his judgment. I don't see how one can atttend a church for 20 years, call this person his mentor, and spiritual advisor and be so unaware. This alone would cause me to quesiton his ability to be President. This combinbed with Rezko, his relationship with Ayers and his wife, his service on the Woods Foundation which has been reported to have granted the Arab-American Action Network 75,000, all speak to poor judgement.

What happened to "words matter" and "judgement matters"........ enough said, I hope its not to late for the nomination to be turned around. Might this be why the super-delegates are not bound 100% by their constituents.?? I think is to protect the party from this trash.

You know a man like Obama could turn out freedom into a second civil war?
Don't laugh or say this is crazy. Go back and listen to Pastor Wright. (I hate calling him a pastor)

"The Audacity of Hope!
There is still yet a lot to say and hear about this man, "Barack", after all, his wife,"Never has been so proud to be an American, until now. Barack, does not feel it's necessary to show his "patriotism" by wearing the American Flag pin."Barack also disenfranchises himself from another controversial Louis Farrakhan. And the Weather Underground he has wished he could do more! And now, he wants to do the same, with his own pastor? He and his wife associated with for the past twenty years, married by him, and baptized his children by him.

He seems to be a "Penumbra! He cast a big shadow of light on one side of him for everyone, and then there is another whole side of him, that no one wants to see or hear about, and he really does not want this side known. Wake up..let's really look at this man, and his wife, and their source of inspiration, his church, his pastor, and everyone affiliated with him. There is so much more going on here! We feel everyone needs to disenchant themselves of him for awhile, he has been leading everyone down the road like a "Pied Piper" Get real, wake up to reality, and quit being so disillusioned by the whole "Barack Thing" Thank goodness we still have time to cast our votes, in November, we have some real time here to sort this whole thing out a while. Voting for the next CEO is not about popularity, it's serious, who is the most experience candidate here? AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE! We can't be voting for 'good looks'," nice smile" his manner of style, and how many young kids wants the new singing voice to be the handsome Barack! Maybe in ten years or more we'll take another look at him again, and then again maybe not, especially now with this new controversy . But not now, he has no experience! Hillary, and McCain are the only two candidates here. And both of them had worked very hard for our Country, and they both have the most experience, Let's really hang our Flag up High, and prove we can actually pick one that we feel is most suitable, and with the MOST EXPERIENCE! And then be so PROUD OF OUR CHOICE! AND BE VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

The HIlton's

Barack Hussein Obama's people are working overtime to write a slick speech tomorrow about this "wright" issue. Listen carefully to what is said and compare it to what was said on Friday night on Hannitys show. There's no way 20 years went by and he is not on film in that church. He is a LIAR!!!! Wake up America!!!!! Wake up White People!!!!!!!!!

Greta, you should really talk to real people on the street, especially in Black communities. The Lawyer you sent out to talk to the church was fine, but let's face it, he's a PAID Black face! Better yet, some of you Whites should visit a Black church sometime. We get irritated when Whites on these talk shows try to sound like experts on being Black in America. You cannot tell us what it is like to be a Black person in this country. You cannot milk a 400 year history down to a sound bite. Whites in America have never wanted to have a real discussion about race and never will. If Hillary's lies and racist ploys block Barrack from this nomination the Democratic party will lose a huge voting block. We don't have to vote. We will make it no matter who gets elected. When I can eat steak, I eat steak, but when I have to eat beans and rice, then beans and rice it is! We don't owe Hillary and Bill anything. He wouldn't have become President if it were not for the Black vote. Anything he did for us was well deserved. Most Blacks never like Hillary, they liked Bill. That's the truth.

I am outraged with the comments of Obama's preacher. He will never be able to explain this away with the American people. Now we know what his wife, Michelle, meant when she said those comments. She was sitting right there in church with him when she agreed with the pastor..Our country is in a bad shape to have to deal with this type of talk. It is just unbelieveable the things that Rev. Wright has said. God Bless America

How and Why has this man come to be an authority that Fox News would recognize? (Al Sharpton) A bigger bloviator I have never seen! His double-talk and circuitousness is more than tedious...it's nauseous.
Also, what if this poll were taken on CNN or CNBC? I think birds of a feather flock together, and while I would never watch any of those stations for the news, I'm worried that there are millions more ignorami out there than we think.

Obama needs to denounce Wright in unmitigating terms, and must denounce this church and totally disassociate himself from this church. No candidate for political office, no matter what their race or party, can be connected with any person or institution that so clearly espouses a message of hate and disrespect of others. This is the only direction he can follow to have any hope of salvaging his success in the general election.

i am italian! i am not proud to be an american because this country has not seen fit to elect an italian president!

doesn't that sound funny to you? it sounds ignorant to me!

I guess when Mrs. obama says it, it means more!

why? because americans as a whole are so afraid of the blacks! as for me? i think this calibur of blks such as sharpton. jesse farakhan and now this reverened are "N's" and are directly responsible for the black ignorance in this country and this holier, more deserving; righteous; denied at all levels is such bull cacca!

i am afraid of the blacks only because i am afraid my grand kids will have to support them! (this does not include the blacks that have gotton on with their lives; yet when push comes to shove? i believe they will all love us gone) then we could all be like africa and we know how well they are doing! what a jole this black plite bull is! bye obama "f'n N"

#59 BIG DEAL? YES ITS A BIG DEAL! ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY AND WANT THE BEST FOR IT! SOUNDS AS IF YOU COULD CARE LESS. It sounds as if because Hillary is a big liar whats the difference if Obama is a racist??!!! Wouldn't you denounce both? Since when do you have to accept anyone with such bad behaviors.
Its like saying well this guy robbed the bank so I guess if the other did also, so what.
Come ON!
I don't like Hillary, but do you reallly think that its Hillary's fault that Wright is a racist, white hating, pulpit humping, piece of crap and Obama is a follower.
What the heck are you thinking? Having an opinion is one thing but your thinking is just like the black population. It ain't my fault, its someone elses.
I, as a voting adult, have a God Given Right to know everything about the man or woman that is going to run The United States of America.
Because he's BLack IT HASN'T COME OUT for this long??!!!. If you had watched any of the news for the past several months he's gotten a pass on everything UP until the time his wife claimed she wasn't proud of being an Amercian in her adult life until now. They've shut her down after this anti American Comment, but still it got covered under the rug and was forgotten in a day. I was shocked. If any white candidate had said this type of thing they'd be hung by their b....s! Not just in USA but in the world.

After attending a congregatiion for 20 years there is no way Obama can't talk his way out of this one. Does he think America is that stupid that he can attend a church for 20 years and then have this same Reverend on his campaign and not know any of these comments existed? It is far to late to denounce Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Now when you listen to the comment of Michelle Obama about being proud of her country for the first time in her adult life this was no mistake, it sounds just like a sermon Reverend Wright would give. For a man who states how he relies on his good judgement how can he explain Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko and William Ayers???? The comments the reverend made against Hillary and Bill Clinton were horrid, if any white person on the Hillary team were to make such racist statements her entire campaign would be in the news until dooms-day. Why doesn't the same policy apply to African Americans when they make such racist hatred statements???? Barack Obama is not worthy to be president of our wonderful nation. Barack Obama change we can believe in or "Just Words"? Wake up America and realize the irony!!! The truth always comes out in the end, is this the person we want for the democratic nominee, I think not. And believe me I'm sure Obama will have an eloquent speech prepared for his news conference, it's up to America not to by into this charade anymore and wake up and smell the coffee!!! We have suffered through President Bush, we do not need to suffer through Barack Obama and his good judgement ability!!! This kind of "Change" we do not need!

You know, it is really disturbing that Obama never talks about his white mother. If I were his mother or any of his white relatives, I would be
extremely offended. Granted I am aware that his family members have passed. Point being, which part of his family was there for him? His white parents and grandparents. Surely, not his black father who visited him once. Why can't he identify with them? Are they a part of the white elitist group that Rev. Wright spouts about? If you are trying to unite a nation, why do you put your mother's race and your race on the back burner?
If this matters... I am Scottish, Irish from Alabama. My husband was born
in Mexico. We have a six month old. If my son "forgot" about me when he was running for president and our heritage, I would be sad and confused. I never would want him to forget his father and his heritage, but how is Obama's seculsion not decisive?

For Years the church preached that Slavery was right according to the Bible.

Minster Wright is not talking about dividing any one.

This just gives those who don't want to vote for a black man a reason not to and not feel bad.

Minister Wright is not Obama. Assign the words to the person who said them.

We keep hearing comparisons of Pastor's Wright's comments to a person's hair dresser's beliefs or doctor's beliefs. It is an absurd comparison. Typically, a person's hair dresser or doctor do not have a large impact on their spiritual beliefs. Also, the comment has been made that Catholics who belong to a parish led by a pedaphile priest can not be expected to uphold those practices. The difference there is these priest practice these behaviors in private, not from the pulpit. I do not buy Obama's statement that he had no idea of his pastor's controversial philosophies.

Thanks for all you do.

We can now vote for vote for David Dukes for President as he was just influenced by Nathan Bedford Forrest and the Klan? I have seen a bit over my 50 years. Let us put the shoe on the other foot. Imagine a white candidate (male/female) attending services/leadership from one that preached all evil came from blacks and was in the same position. I would argue their careers and possibly life would be over. This country would not tolerate it. The black community would be replicating the riots after the Rodney King verdict. Al Sharpton would be quite critical not making excuses if the candidate were white. Making excuses for this Pastor is the same as making excuses for the Nazi party or those African tribes that sold their slaves to slave traders. This type behavior should not be tolerated in this country. Hate speech is hate speech not matter how you pretty it up. I would not vote for David Dukes for President and I can no longer vote for Obama for the same reasons. Dr. King must have his head in his hands and crying tonight. This was not his dream.

By the way - don't blast Michelle Obama either until you have walked in her shoes - I can guarantee you that being a Black female in American has been a heck of alot different from gowing up a White woman!

How disappointing. I really believed in Obama and his message. I began to have doubts when I heard his wife say that for the first time in her adult life she was proud to be and American. How much has the Rev. Wright's teachings have rubbed off on her? Someone is between a Barack and a hard place. So sad.

I can not believe that Obama would sit in a church where the hate towards whites were so hateful. Obama's white grandparents raised him and sent him to the best schools in the USA. How could he disgrace his white grandparents and his white mother by not leaving that church many many years ago. He had to know about the anti white anti America theme Rev. Wrights church believes. How can this man Obama unite us as a nation. He is full of it, he will change his spots if elected. He has lied about many things already.For the first time in my life, I am scared for our nation. God Help Us.

#152 You can't end Terrorism by supporting it either.

nothing obama can say can adequately justify 20 years attendance at a church where hate-filled anti-american speech gets a standing ovation every week. recall, if you will, scenes of another hate-monger's rants 60+ yrs ago. to say i was "never in the pews" when the hate speeches were made, is almost as weak as "i was just following orders".....

Obama recalls his upbringing all the time. He never say weather his black grandmother or white grandmother, white mother or black anything is who he is referring to. He doesn't bring up race. He just speaks. The Media and others brings race in to it.

"By: Eric Dawson | Mar 17, 22:30
Because the president attends the Catholic church and is fully aware of what those nasty priests do to those little boys, does he condone the behavior? and... he gives 10% of his income for their efforts. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE!!!"
Bush is not Catholic.
Eric, there is a lot of difference in being Catholic and being Protestant. You can choose to go to a different Protestant church with in the same denomination. Each pastor brings his own beliefs and teaching to his church. Protestant pastors are handed down what that have to preach on from "The Church" . Obama does not have to attend Wright's church. If you are Catholic, I know you don't understand. It is not the same, believe me.

Toby

Dino: I don't even know all the nationalities in me. German, hungarian, maybe more. Everybody hates him because he's Black? Give me a break!!! I'm german - does that mean I'm a nazi and killed jews? Same difference. Somewhere in all our pasts are people that probably didn't do the right thing but it isn't our fault NOW. This is 2008. Slavery is over!

obama is toast and done with

Is it true that Obama was sworn in by the Quran instead of the Bible?
If so, why is he claiming to be a Christian?

OBAMA KNEW THAT HIS [UNCLE] THINKS,HATE,CONDEMS AMERICA.
WILL IAM PROUD TO BE AMERICAN AND LIVE IN THIS GREAT WONDERFUL
COUNTRY.SHAME ON OBAMA AND HIS UNCLE HA.WHAT GO AROUND COME AROUND.I SURE KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO VOTE NOW I WAS MIXED UP FOR A WHILE BUT CAME BACK TO MY SENSE GOD BLESS AMERICAN AND JOHN MCCAIN.GOD BE WITH US ALL

Tell me who you associate with and I'll tell you who you are!

I cannot believe this is getting so much media play. Sensationalism truly sells and I have to give credit to either a) Clinton's campaign or b) McCain's campaign who planted this ugly seed of diversion. Can you possibly be serious? Gretchen how can you remotely compare a white pastor getting up and saying racist remarks in their pulpit compared to what Wright said? From the bytes I heard I wasn't even remotely offended. As a matter of fact, he told the truth. This country is too concerned about "not offending" rather than telling the truth. Wright doesn't sugar coat his views and is a little rough around the edges; it shouldn't offend anyone and as Americans, we should all be ashamed of ourselves for even trying to compare the two very different cultures. You have no idea (just like I don’t) the oppression that still exists. You may have contributed to trying to make a difference but you-are-not black. You aren't reminded most times, daily, of all the horrible things that have been done to generations and generations of your people every time you get a side glance at the store, or question why you didn't get a job knowing you were more qualified. It is sickening to play this race abuse card on Senator Obama. This man can make a difference (in a country I might add that up until a little over 40 years ago blacks couldn't even VOTE in) and we have lowered our standards to crucify his pastor based on his lifetime of experience and his passion for uplifting his flock and encouraging his people. He isn't starting a race war. HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH. And like most truth, it is a jagged pill to swallow. It is time for America to get a healthy dose of its own medicine and I applaud Rev. Wright for his trailblazing ability to make it plain. Sen. Obama, believe me you have my vote. And shame of Fox and CNN and whoever else for trying to politically assassinate Senator Obama, it’s pitiful.

A fineley crafted speech only after we have been infected by these words is too late. The damage has been done I am appaled that Obama can look the American people in the eye after this. Along with his wife's words it becomes clear this Minister has had an effect. He wants it to go away too late.

I am so sick of the double standard in this country. In no way can Senator Obama or anyone else make any excuse for this mans behavior without making the statement that they agree with him. There are certain expectations of the President of the USA. One you have to be a patriot. You have to love this country and take an oath to defend her against all enemies foriegn and domestic. After embracing this pastor and his church for 20 years there is no way Senator Obama can meet that standard. Two, you have to be a President for all Americans regardless of race, ethnicity or religion. Senator Obama fails again. You can not embrace this pastor and his church for 20 years and claim to be a uniter and not a divider. Three, Senator Obama claims he did not know about this pastors ideology prior to FOX news airing this story. Strike three your out. This is about judgement. If he did not know he must of been asleep every time he attended church and from the hate that man was spewing I find it hard to believe that anyone could have slept through it. This tells me that Senator Obama has a real lack in judgement because he went along with this pastor and his church in this hateful attack on the USA and white people year after year. One argument for Senator Obama is "well he was not there" This does not excuse him from being a contributing and regular member of this church. Only when it stands to hurt his campaign does he denounce what he said. Remember the visions of all the members in that church being worked into a frenzy by this man. His words are what those people went there to hear. They were cheering him and patting him on the back for making racist, anti-American statements and Senator Obama is part of it regardless of what he say's. Its like the two guys that killed the Student body president at UNC. Only one guy pulled the trigger but because the other guy drove the car and they were together they are both guilty of murder.

Obama supporters should call for him to not only drop out of the race for President but he should also be forced to give up his Senate seat

I will be voting for Obama and I'm proud of it. Nothing of this high tech lynching will change my opinion. It's just typical that people just take what's fed to them and don't look deeper. Yes this pastor's comments were deplorable but they were his, not Obama's. Look at Greta's career in law. I wonder if she would like to be judged by the people she CHOSE to represent? Some of your say so easily that Obama lied. You have nothing to base that on. Just because you say it does not make it true. Obama will rebound from this. I can see the tide turning already. People who are using this to criticize him on this issue do so at their own peril. People are going to be fighting back this time and speaking out. No more Swift Boats for Truth will go unanswered.

Obviously, Senator Obama will have to respond. The question is whether enough voters will believe him. I question whether he is genuine or a truly a "wolve in sheep's clothing". That worries me the most. Is there a hidden agenda at play which covertly promotes the hate-filled rhetoric of his so called "pastor"?

I think Ted was absolutely right when he said that if Hillary had belonged to a congregation whose pastor regularly espoused this type of rhetoric, this country would be outraged and there would be no way she would be able to distance herself from it. But this isnt just a pastor of a congregation Obama attended every now and then. This was HIS chosen church. This pastor, by Obama's own admission, is his spiritual advisor, a mentor for almost 20 years and the person who counseled him before the most important decisions he has made, both personally and politcally. Even knowing all of this, Senator Obama only denounced him this weekend because it became public, not because he felt truly shamed or appalled by what Rvd Wright has been preaching all these years and now has sought to MINIMIZE it's importance and even DENY he even knew it! That is what Senator Obama's biggest probem is. What's worse, now we hear this is standard preaching in African American churches. I dont want this comparison to be taken out of context, but if we knew there was a mosque in this country having this kind of preaching with 8500 members agreeing with it, the FBI would be all over it. And if a white church was saying this, the FBI would be all over it too as well it should be and has in the past! We have radical (my opinion) conservative christian preachers in this country who I dont agree with either, but they dont say God Damn America or that blacks are the cause of everything wrong in this country. They usually have their own group try to cast blame on. I thought this country has come so far beyond the 60's and earlier and had made great strides in trying to achieve equality for all. I am disgusted by this. I can't pay for the sins of past history. Alot of white and black Americans sacrificed and died to help make this country better for ALL Americans, regardless of race and this type of rhetoric doesnt move us forward or unite us. For someone who wanted to President of the UNITED States of America, this is NOT acceptable. Senator Obama is just as guilty for being associated with it for 20 years and turning a blind eye, or according to him, a DEAF ear to it.

I will never believe a word he says. Anything at this point will simply be to try to save his campaign. As far as I am concerned, he's not trustworthy, and I think extremely dangerous. All we are going to hear from him tomorrow is a bunch of lies. He and his wife are racists. I hope this will be the end of him.

I have to believe that Obama knew what Jeriamiah Wright stood for. He went to that church for 20 years. Obama has lost his credibility and should drop out of the race. He cannot be trusted and he has proven this. He will be unable to win a general election. He is history.

correct typo.....Protestant pastors are NOT handed down from the church what they have to preach on.......sorry typo

Toby: Good point! There are so many Churchs in this country, but let me say, Obamas does not follow the Bible teachings. If a Church doesn't follow what Jesus / God teaches, which is stated clearly in the Bible, they are not real faith / Christian based Churches. Doesn't matter the denomination, thats the real rule!

To Corrine: That article you read was a LIE and if you go back, you'll find the writer has posted a response apologizing for it. I believe you've made an irational decision based on a false story.

If everybody can be judged by what their ministers do, why are we not judging Hillary's minister or McCain's minister? Why is this subject so one-sided against Obama only.

Is it because he's winning?

Two old adages come to mind:
"Birds of a feather flock together" and "I hear what your singing but I see you are dancing to another tune."

Mr. Obama must have a stronger alliance with his pastor than Jesus Christ otherwise he would have found another church to attend 19 years and 11 months and 3 weeks ago.

In my fifty some years in dealing with the public, I have found that looking at people’s friends, the people they are willing to take instruction from, and their actions when they think no one is looking tell a far better story about them than what comes out of their mouth no matter how eloquently spoken!

#171 Juanita ....It has nothing to do with being Black or being a woman. Are you proud to be an American?

Obama has lost all credibility. Why isn't anyone talking about what Newsmax.com emailed me today - that Obama was in Wright's church on July 22nd when Wright referred to America as "United States of White America" and lacing his sermon with expletives as Obama listened. Hearing Wright's attacks on his own country, Obama had the opportunity to walk out but Davis (Jim Davis a freelance correspondent for Newsmax.com, attended services along with Obama. See "Obama's Church: Cauldron of Division." Instead of walking out Obama sat in his pew nodding in agreement. Why isn't CNN carrying this story? This proves that Obama is lying and knew all along about Wright. Obama is no longer a viable candidate.

I'M POSITIVE MOST OF THE COMMENTS ARE FROM 'WHITE' AMERICANS. IT'S FUNNY TO SEE PEOPLE GETTING SO UPSET ABOUT RACISM. THE USA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RACIST SOCIETY. WE WILL NEVER HAVE AN HONEST DIALOGUE CONCERNING RACE IN THE COUNTRY.

I think Obama 'skirts' and sidesteps many issues, as if he doesn't have time to be bothered. I think this is just one more of those 'issues'. How will he sidestep and/or ignore issues that he can't be bothered with, once he is president? AND ... if his pastor wants to be so outraged about the 'rich white people', why isn't he outraged at the amount of money spent on Obama's campaign that could feed ALL the poor people and/or at least the children of this country, for a long time to come? Was it just the few rich black people that gave him all that money to burn? Or was it some of those horrible 'rich white people' that gave him all that money?

It will be interesting to see what happens when someone comes forward placing Barack Obama at one of his pastors derogatory sermons, which Mr. Obama denies ever being a part of. The fur will hit the fan. This could get real interesting, is he sweating yet? From Garden City, Mich.

Greta, I live in the "Bible Belt"...aAND...I am a "card carrying Republican"...BUT..the "preacher" is a BLASPHEMER!!...and in my opinion....Obama is a "Liar"!!!

I have always tried to be fair and considerate of other minorities..... Black people say white people are racist, but Pastor Wright has shown himself to be a racist. Kadaffi will be sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom. I don't trust him or his associates......Remember Obama used the Koran, won't wear the 911 flag pin, refuses to place his hand over his heart during the National Anthem...
I'm done with him.

All you have to do is listen to Obama's wife speaches... and you might notice some of her preacher's thinking process pierce thru her mind maybe?

Most Americans are not stupid enough to believe that someone could be close to another person for 20 years and not know that persons views, I would bet the farm that this hatred is preached in the vast majority of sermons this pastor held and in his every day life communications as well , they are not isolated. No one can have such radical views and only show them a few times in 20 years .Nothing Obama can say would be believed. This is about the only thing that the democrats could have done to cost themselves the White House this term, they handed the Republicans thier 4 leaf clover on St. Patricks day.

Racism is alive and well thanks to the likes of Jeremiah Wright and Al Sharpton.

From his radical stance on abortion to his prominence in the corruption scandals that has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media, Barack Obama is not fit to be Senator -- not to mention the next President of the United States.

Obama has declared his presidential intentions, but it is up to well-informed and energetic people like us to spare our nation from the scourge of a far-left President Barack H. Obama

Barrack Obama has shown his TRUE colors to all Americans both white, black, yellow and ALL with even as much as he has tried hard to deceive, lie, and hide ALOT of his so called wrong dealings with people!!! Renzo, Barrack got his dream house BUT lied to America UNTIL he was caught, and he lied about this 2-3 times!!! His minister?!! Please how DUMB does he think the American people are??! He on the other hand is a GREAT LIAR & CON MAN as a politician, NOPE he has nothing to do with "CHANGE IN WASHINGTON!" He is WORSE!!!

Come on everyone! Obama is half white. Do you really think he is a racist. A lot of white people don't understand anything that is going on right now. They are all upset because Wright was talking bad about Racist White People, NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE! If people don't really think that this country has been is is still now run by racist white people you are crazy. There are a lot less then 50 years ago, but they are still entrenched in our Country. If you don't believe that the Tuskeegee Experiement happened you are crazy. Wright sounded hostile, but when you grow up in a time when you can't sit in the front of a bus or can't stay in a hotel because you are black, then you are probably going to hold some hostile feelings. Blacks are held down in this country... Not only by racist white people but by them selves. I don't by into the victim mentality and that is what Wright was preaching about. "You are a victim and God will make it right." That is the real BS happening to America. We should be upset about that ideology, not that Wright talks about some dark times in our American History. Willie Lynch was real. Powerful Rich White Men put a process in to the hearts of all Americans to degrade and tear down the black man. Thank God for the real American White People that woke up and now believe people are people no matter what color. It's time for black America to wake up as well. Slavery is the root of a lot of America's Race problems, but it isn't something we can blame on our current situation in life. One last thing to say about this topic. Some of Wright's words are harsh and may seem very un-American, but if you really listen to them, some (not all) are true. Look into your heart. If you have never felt negativly about black people just because of thier skin, he wasn't talking about you. If your skin crawls to even think about black, brown, and yellow people, then he might be talking about you... But only if you have economic or political power. Because for real these people don't like the poor white people almost as much as them not liking colored people.

You are all so overthinking this. Listen the reason this is difficult for Obama is its what he blieves. If you are innocent you come out and face the media and directly to the point deny and reject. McCain did it very well for the NY Times rumor last month and the story died. Obama looked like a kid who just stole the last cookie on friday. This man marries a women who has similar views like his pastor. He is backed and supported by Resko, William Ayres, George Soros all anti american sentiment folks. He goes to kenya and supports the opposition leader aligned with a local militant muslim group. You don't get yourself involved with such folks if you don't share similiar feelings. For move on.org to support him and the New black Panthers (check our his campaign website for there webpage endorsment.) then the message of uniting is a bunch of cr_p. He has leftists view points that are not aligned with middle of white america and he knows to win you need the white independent voters come november.

If you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

This man might do some good things but the bad outweighs the goog.
Punch into www.relevantbibleteachings.com and check out all the questions and then decide if that now resigned pastor was a christian pastor.
thanks.

I have never been into politics before now, but this is amazing. Obama stayed in a church, where he knew what was going on. America, do not be fooled, this man has more ghosts in his closet, at least we know all about Hiliary. Even if u dont like her, she is safer than Obama. Please save America. Vote against Obama.

Not knowing someones philosophy after 20 years of association is hard to believe. He is not being truthful in my opinion. TV personalities have lost their jobs for " racist remarks " and his supporters are saying reporters are being unfair to Obama ?????

I am stunned! I feel as though racism is becoming a black thing! Blacks can say whatever they want about whites and it's OK and suffer no backlash. I don't get it. They are breading white haters! I'm sick of hearing racism as a black EXCUSE. Obama won't get my vote.

Brad Pitt and Bill Clinton, looking relaxed and healthy, brilliant as always, are involved in creating programs, like the New Orleans University, where fantastic ideas which will benefit our world and our future are taking form.

this message is for juanita johnson who thinks because i am not black i could not possibly understand!

the problem is not because i am not black! the problem is you blacks need to get over slavery and get on with your lives!

it's the reverends blatant blame on whites and the gov is where the problem lies!

i have been going to church for nearly 40 years and have never heard such garbage!

my priest talks about giving loving and jesus's love for all of us! he never talks about the white house - 911 except to pray for the survivors and the deceased relatives!

why do blacks get so colour blind when they are on the defensive? and yet when anyone else criticizes them all of a sudden their colour blindness re appears! it scares me that you can not see the truth!

i guess that's why you still blame the whites; ask yourself why so many of tyour boys are in jail; so many mothers and children without fathers etc. etc. etc.

get up and go to work and educate yourselves! ask condolessa rice and colin powell and read thomas book (supreme court justice) he talks about how sad the black situation is in this contry! get on with your life and stop hating!

you spread hate! look what good it has done you? obama is a biggot and now we all know it; and you defending him proves that many blks still hate! how can anyone love a person who hates so much ms johnson!

Mr. JD Jackson:
Yes, he brings up that he is a black man all of the time. Rev. Wright
speaks that he knows what it is like to be a black man raised by a single
mother. Does Mr. Wright reference his mother as white? No! Why? Because it is a black church and apparently under his eyes (which I disagree), then
nobody else would be able to relate. I agree with some issues and respect Obama as a candidate;however, don't talk to me about unity when you have been committed to a "Wright" message for 20 years. It's that simple.

Respectfully,

Marjorie

Wright is anti-American. I don't see how Obama can defend him on anything. We should look carefully at Obama and not vote for him. This is too serious. Wake up people!!!

Lets here what Obama has to say about this issue. The Pastor is'nt the one running for President.

#186 - oh but we can prove it you just don't want to spend the time to investigate. Newsmax.com - Jim Davis, Thursday, 8/9/07. He attended the Church, heard the filth, saw Obama grinning and a nodding. If you "Cared" to know the truth, I guess I would if it was a candidate I would want running my country, you'd at least investigate.
What does Greta as an attorney have to do with any of this???
THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We aren't voting for the dog catcher in putnam county here!

Mr. Wright is not a minister of our Lord Jesus. He preaches hatred and is a scarey man. It appears that his "church" is a cult full of hatred and racism.
I'm not an Obama fan and this latest supporting hate monger and attacker of Americans and the United States with damnation nailed his coffin shut for me.
Positive Prayer for our Lords blessings is what our nation needs. Prayer Power!
Say, I need Jesus in my life - gotcha. That's all it takes.

I feel Obama is not genuine. I think he was sent by the Muslim's to
try & be President to destroy America. I also think his pastor is
part of the plan, sending out hatred for America & the white people.
No wonder Chicago has a high murder rate.
We better all pray Obama does not get in as President.
A preacher should be preaching the gospel & getting people saved,
not this hatred.
Fran

I'm very shocked that Obama was part of this chruch for the past 20yrs. I could never be a part of a church who pastor would make disgusting and horrifying statements as Wright did. I hadn't planned on voting for Obama but my sister plan to vote for him. After seeing the videos of Wright, my sister won't vote for Obama.

#197 - you don't even deserve to vote IN MY OPINION! but you'll be able to as sorry as that is

Michelle Obama says she has never been proud of America until now - doesn't this seem to come right out of the mouth of Jeremiah Wright? She has never corrected her comments and her husband has not addressed them. I'd say these facts cannot be simple coincidence. Where there is smoke, there is fire.

the american people need to know the truth about obama true beliefs. maybe obama would like to get some extra money for his candidacy. my suggestion would be he should go on the new fox show "The Moment Of Truth. How about it obama? there was a time when a man's word was his word not today, people will lie untill they get caught (no fear of God, they don't believe in God). anybody can say they are a Christian, but Jesus Christ said you will know them by there love. (actions speech louder than words). not all can say Jesus is Lord, also beware of wolves coming in sheep clothing. remember mr. clinton statement "i did not have sex with that women" let not have history repeat itself. dave, syr ny

goddamn america....just words? the white man invented hiv to kill the black man....just words. jesus was a black man killed by the romans who were italians and white europeans....just words? obama just became unelectable.

When I look for a church family I look for one that supports and reinforces my beliefs by teaching the Bible not hate. I certainly would never continue in any group for 20 years if I did not agree with their teachings!

IT IS WHAT IT IS! IT NOW TIME FOR HIM TO QUIT! HE IS NOT WHOM HE APPEARED TO BE....MOVE FORWARD AND LEAVE THE RACE....YOU CANNOT CONTINUE TO SMILE.....

I REALLY WANT TO THANK HANNITY FOR DOING HIS HOMEWORK JUST LIKE HE DID IN THE 2004 ELECTION WHEN HE EXPOSED KERRY FOR HOW HE LIED ABOUT THE VIET NAM WAR CRIMES. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT SHAWN? YOU GOT MY VOTE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND SPEAK THE TRUTH.

America IS ready for a Black President... we're just a little nervous.

Watch Obama's temperment and message... he has yet to break his consitency. Let's the breathe!

Obama has done enough. If we are going to scrutinze his pastor and his 20 year relationship, then let's make this criteria across the board!! Hillary?? McCain?? Let's see your church attendance!! Err... Tax Report??? Obama is not a muslim, nor a racists... Let get real folks!!!

Wright's comments were totally unnecessary and I acknowledge it as offensive to the Clintons!!! I believe he was trying to make a point on the Clinton's integrity Wright comes from the struggles of the 60's, and has the guts and tenacity to illuminate some of the struggles that exist today... yes.. that includes race and gender... His style was incineray and illarticulated however.

MEDIA BE CAREFUL!!! I truly believe that the perseveration of Wright's comments through the media is also unnecessary; and if not checked, will eventually lead to a culture who will unfairly, unjustly, and incorrectly judge Obama of reverse racism, through association.

The truth is, the most segregated time in America is 10:00am Sunday morning.

Eric Dawson - noting like speaking from a position of ignorance. The President does not attend the Catholic church. Even if he did, his tithes to the church do not pay for sex for priests. Nor do priests preach that molestation is a good thing. BUT, Wright preaches HATE. No comparison! Nice try!

we can not afford this man! and now I know we don't want this man. How unchristian and I am BLACK.

God Bless America...we are really going to need all God's help!

Face it...there is still slavery ...of women.

My mother always told me, " you are known by the company you keep!" How true is that statement. After twenty years, Barrack had to have known,not only his pastors feelings,not also the congregations feelings! There is much hatred and anger in that church.

after 9/11 I HEard AmeriCa crying.. one of the newspapers showed
an artists depiction of THE STATUE OF LIbeRTY CRYING.. I THINK SHE
WOULD HANG HER HEAD in shame today.
.

Obam has betrayed white America, after all we have done for him and blacks ie affirmative action, preferential treatments, quotas at colleges welfare SSI disability aND A trillion $$ WORTH OF OTHER THINGS WHITES HAVE GAVE BLACKS AND THIS IS HOW HE THANKS US?

#183 - You people scare me to death! You don't think humping on the pulpit immitating Clinton and Monica is NOT spiritual, spewing black power, hate of the USA. I wish people like you would go live somewhere else. You don't obviously love your country and are blind to this hate! God help us for people like you will destroy us all. A fool is born every minute!

greta
i am finally resting in knowing that he is not the dream child everone believe he was. I had told my family , that we need to know more about this man, and i felt even stronger about it when I heard his wife comment. I had wonder what was behind what she said. and now I know where it all has come from .
you dont go to chruch for 20 years and not know what your pastor is about.
and i believe as things come forth we will find out he is not what he has represented himself to be.
People better wake up and really take a hard look at where they want this country to be in the next four years.
God Bless and keep up the good work

20 years is a long time to be brainwashed.

I thought I was an Obama supporter even though I was always leary of the speeches that his wife, Michelle, would give. I could always feel she had an underlying dislike for whites and the country. Now I know where she got this attitude. There is no telling what he holds deep within him after 20 years of being yelled at to "damn America." I cannot support him because I fear that he will not be the "uniter" he says he would be. I have never heard such hatred come from a man who speaks for God and is Obama's mentor.

This is the highest public lynching during my lifetime and I am 57 years old.
Greta and Ted Williams went to Durham, NC and commented about the Duke Soccor Team and the young black "lady" whom the team hired for a strip party. None of the medical records for this lady ever came to the public to be viewed. Everything about the stripper was wrong and Greta shared in the downfall of someone whom she did not know - call this murder if you want. Lawyers are shown how to defeat even the most innocent person in court. I think Greta and Ted have a track record for participating in the "murders" of persons who have a less than popular character.

Greta has to play the race card as well as Hannity, Colms, Bill, and Hillary Clinton. Senator Obama has always worked for the poor. He does not have a track record of sexual infidelity like Bill Clinton with Hillary agreeing for him to have these excursions. I am shocked that the videotapes on You Tube have not been shown all over the world like the one of Rev. Wright. SHOW THE TAPED INTERVIEWS ABOUT THE ESCAPADES OF HILLARY CLINTON

I was raised in a baptist upbringing and went to church everytime the door was opened. I still attend church and have never heard a pastor say anything about race, politics or about the country. I'm 54 yrs. old and I wasn't aware churches did that. Boy, do I feel dumb or naive. I am in shock and realize now why so many black youths are in trouble. That is not teaching them to love everyone or the world. I am a democrat but I will not vote for Obama in the general election. I cannot vote for someone that has though beliefs. I don't buy he doesn't believe that either to attend the church for 20 yrs. I truly believe that Obama's political career is over and positively this race is over for him. He has really disappointed alot of democrats. The democrat party must be aware that there is no way this man can win at all now.

What a disgusting circus this campaign has turned into. Obama didn't have me fooled from the beginning! I still think he is a wonderful speaker. A man of many words but an empty dialog. He actually says nothing at all. Does anyone really believe Obama didn't have a clue as to what Rev Wright is really about? I am thankful all of this has been exposed now. I think he is done. Hillary may be intelligent, so are a lot of people but she can't be President of the United States. I think she is a fake. The only truly experienced and honest man with so much integrity is John McCain. We will be safe with McCain.

I am very disappointed in Fox News. This channel has consistently pounced down on Senator Obama. It is very clear you folks are either all Republicans or cheering for Cinton!

I am very surprised in your comments, Greta...and Hannity! He interrupts all of the time especially when he's at a loss....

I am a white man and quite frankly not offended by Reverend Wright's words other than his uninformed view of the origins of the HIV virus. I think Fox news and you Greta Van Susteran seem to have a vested interest in creating controversy about this. In fact your consistent and repetitive use of the adjective "incendiary" is in itself inflammatory and self-serving in your search for ratings.

Greta are you really surprised that African Americans still talk about slavery or the Tuskeegee experiment? Are you surprised that someone says that our executive branch of government lied to and misled the American people in order to go to war in Iraq? You seem to be surprised or dismayed that anyone would bring this up. I can only believe that this is only your act because surely you are more intelligent than this.

Yes racism is still alive in America but it seems to be represented by Fox News' reaction and use of Reverend Wright's sound bites rather than Reverend Wright himself.

By the way Barack Obama is not Reverend Wright. Let Obama speak for himself.

I just heard you call it a "scandal" Greta. Is this really a scandal? Please are you a journalist or are you trying to be a Bill O'Reilly bookend? You are better and smarter than this Greta.

well if Obama is 1/2 white why didn't he write a book about his mom and grandparents who gave him private school education young and tookl care of him when his father left him at 2. Why not talk about her today. Obama is part of a black church by choice. He is proud of the black part of him but I fear embarassed by his white side.

I do not believe this man was slamming America as a whole... but If this country continues on the way it is going "God will Damn this country" We have pushed Him out of this country for far too many years. And now because a Black preacher has the guts to stand against what is going on in this country people are gonna get all wired up?.... Nothing that man said is not true. Is there not all that hatred in this country.... Is there not still a KKK organization. Do we not have white supremist in this country.... I believe Senator Obama is goint to do what he can to stop a lot of that.. I believe his campaign would do everything possible to stop racism...It is interesting to see that the media is slanted... but the media always blows stuff out of play. And it should not be held against Obama for what another man says... no more than the people that sit in a Catholic church under a man that sexually abuses children should be held accountable for that pastor.... But God says in His word that we will pay for the sins we commit... ANd America has been commiting sins against God for a long time and thinking they are getting away with it...... God does see all.. ANd He knows all...... ANd I believe Obama is the best choice for a country that is gone so far from its roots... AND by the way..... I am a white woman.

Hey Corrine.....There's some Crazies out tonight.

I would like to say one thing about Obama saying he was not present when his pastor said all those racist comments and if he had known about them then he would have left the Church. Well I don't know about him but I can tell you that I've been amember of my church for 12 years and I also support my Church with all that I can so believe me when I tell you that if my Pastor had made those types of comments when I was not there I KNOW that I would have been told in some way or another. When you love and support your church along with your family you will ALWAYS know what goes on when you are present or when you are absent!!!!! Think about that really deeply if you are still in doubt.

I find it hard to believe that anyone who attends a church for 20 years wouldn't know what is said by the pastor. Maybe not everything, but certainly the tenor of what the pastor believes. And Obama says Rev Wright was a spiritual advisor and mentor. Hmmm

I just can't conjure up an image of the POTUS sitting in a pew, listening to these radical ideas and giving them credence by his/her presence.

Obama says he wasn't there when those comments were made. He also claims Rev. Wright was his mentor and the minister was very passionate about his anti USA feelings and so it appears to me that Obama had to know his beliefs. Apparently his wife Michelle was influenced by the pastor because of her comment that "it was the first time she was proud of the USA in her adult life.Obama shows he does not have the good judgement to be the president of our country. He also does not have the experience because he was only in the senate 2 years and one of those years were spent campaigning for president.

Sen. Obama can not undo these comments, His continuing to attend this church supports such actions of this type of teaching. Lord help us all! Why would real Americans give him their votes or trust now.

This country will never be equal until we are all, not African Americans, not Asian Americans, not Hispanic Americans, not Caucasion Americans, But just plain AMERICANS! That will take everyone. I think everyone knew that these issues would surface in an election, why does everyone seem surprised! I do think that too much damage will be done for Obama to overcome.

The blacks want us to be color blind, but are they? I think when you look at how for Obama has come in this presidential race, it proves that America is color blind.
But, after the teachings of his pastor and close friend Rev. Wright has come to light, it proves it is not the whites who are racist.

Toby in Alaska

#244... Senator McCain will have adults in his cabinet, too.

Greta I know hate when I hear it!!!!

I am a 34 year old hispanic woman married to a white man. I attended the Free Barack Obama rally in Dallas last month, and left feeling hopeful. It was cool to take part in a historic event. But after the Rev Wright controversy, I feel absolutely deflated. My generation didn't experience, racism like the years before. So when his pastor says these things it's hard for us to understand. We can't relate, it just sounds like plain old hate no matter if he's a church leader/ community servant. The man posed as a servant of God, but I just see him as another fallen angel, that disobeyed God.

On several occasions Jesus and God essentially said : "You are known by the company You keep" . . . and also : "You will know those Who truely love and believe in Me (Jesus and God) by Their "fruit" . . . . We are condemned by Our own "words" and "actions" . . . .

I am beginning to calm down and re-look, listen and read the statements made by Rev Wright over the past 10 years and guess what?? I now believe that this is much ado about absolutely nothing other then an attempt by the right wing of America to once again paint everything done by the non-right as crazy, wrong and, dare I say it "unpatriotic".

I know several elder Americans that have the same view as Wright or take the opposite view but are equally on the fringe from most Americans. I speak to them on a regular basis and have yet to neither denounce nor repudiate them because their impact on anyone that listens to them is absolutely minimal. What I do try to do is analyse what they say, why they think what they do and what can I do to correct or improve their perception of America and life in general. But most importantly what part of our system and society do they perceive as being so repressive, so unfair!

Where in our approach to creating a government of the people for the people that we decide to disregard dissenting views? Was it the way that Rev Wright preached his sermons what caused some Americans to be afraid, be very afraid? Is it the root thread in the Hillary 3am message that we see as "coming home to roost"?

Did you look at the congregation at Trinity United Church of Christ during Rev Wright's sermon?? Were ALL the people in the pews standing, clapping, shouting amen brother, tell it like it is?? NO!

I am an American patriot! I am not a light-weight American whom talks a lot of talk about duty honor and country but has never served a single day in the uniform of our great nation! Whom of you believes that wearing a lapel pin of Old Glory is all it takes to be a good American citizen? Ever seen a North Korean? Probably not. Every North Korean of a certain level is required to wear a lapel pin with the photo of their beloved leader, Kim Jung Ill over their heart!

I'm a confident American with the God given ability to analyze, synthesis and wade my way through the crap that people like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Rev. Wright spout off about. Sean and Rush are phony's, and while I am at it so is Ann Coulter! At least Rev. Wright served in the USMC. I watch Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, BBC and PBS to try and get a balanced view on the world and I am not surprised to report that if you want news, real news you can get it from the BBC and PBS.

Newt Gingrich had the experience and sense to see that what Rev. Wright said was not racist BUT was certainly inflammatory and divisive rhetoric which is typical of some of the very left-wing views often spoken by the educated elites in our Universities. Now I don't completely agree with Newt on that BUT I give him credit for seeing what Wright said as what it is, ideological rubbish!

I think tomorrow provides a great opportunity for Sen. Obama to either rise above this current problem facing his candidacy and create new momentum, OR if he does not address this issue completely, then while he will maintain the majority of his current base of supporters, he will still lose those that have been on the fence. I hope he does make a historical speech because I would think we are moving forward as a nation that wants to become united and respect fellow citizens regardless of race, gender, creed, and so on.

We really haven't had a leader that inspires quite the way he does in some time. Also if he does not rebound and loses the democratic nomination, I suspect he will still be a great leader in our nation, and he will try and unite Americans. Because as he puts it, with the current problems we face as a nation, we must be united and not divided.

BTW: I want to make the point that as a white person who has attended church all my life in the south, I have noticed that in all white congregations, how church members are often cold to non-whites that may visit the church.

And I have noticed in these churches how even "poor" people are treated differently. I call it the rhetoric of silence. The preacher(s) do not speak about how to help locals. They are afraid to visit neighborhoods where latinos or blacks live. There is a prevailing silence because these fellow church members I think are afraid of people that come from different ethnic backgrounds. And really it was through my participation in bible classes that I really try to help them think outside the box and challenge them to step outside their comfort zones. Some people like me and get what I am trying to contribute. But I feel I must walk on eggshells.

But I believe that in all fairness Greta you have attempted to contextualize for viewers Trinity United Church of Christ and Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I understand your shock, but you live in a different region in the country that welcomes diversity. It is not so in other areas of the country. But unfortunately, people cannot look beyond the sound bites. Sen. Obama is not a racist, who plans to paint the White House brown, but perhaps make the White House a rainbow? And aren't we all the same color on the inside?

As my wise grandmother always told me in regard to spiritual matters: "We are all trying to get to the same place."

I wish people were more culturally sensitive and aware because I understand Rev. Wright's audience, and I do believe this congregation does do great things. But I do agree with him that Washington is controlled by the elite, which are wealthy white men.

Hey, just ocurred to me that we haven't heard anything from Ted Kennedy or John Kerry....just to name a few. Where are his supporters????
Duh, I think they need to re-evaluate their priorities. What next when Obama drops out of the race????

Sen Obama claims that his relationship with Rev Wright was that his pastor was more like an uncle to him. With that close of a relationship, Sen Obama knew exactly what his pastor's beliefs were. And for him to say that he was never in attendance when any of these statement were made will be, I'm sure, thoroughly checked out. Why did no one pay attention to this sooner??? We knew about it. Seems no one cared until it was finally plastered all over the internet.

kevin # 207 you do not speak for me so stop with the white people garbage!

i don't need a history lesson from you! i am voting for a person who's ideas as president i agree with!

perhaps the black people have not forgotten history; so be it that is their choice! I supect that many have!

keep speaking about the black people like they are separated from the american society and they will be treated as such! don't u know anything about human nature kevin?

the problem is not slavery; the problem is many blacks have not let it go and how easy it is to blame someone else for your short comings!

i suppose the 60 some percent of blacks in prison is directly related to slavery? how about they broke the law? ghee what a novel idea? all americans have choices; which one will u make; which one does the black man make every morning? being kewl; hanging out or supporting his family; i know that's 2 white for some of you! how sad!

This does explain why he removed the American Flag from his lapel.

Why is it that some black people don't get that racism works both ways. These people in this church are being taught to hate white people. And this goes on all the time in "black churches"? I have watched both Creflo Dollar and TD Jakes and unless I missed something, this is never the type of teaching that goes on when they preach. I wonder if "Rev" Wright can back up what he has been saying with some scripture - perhaps he has a different Bible, or from what it sounds like, he doesn't use one at all. What an abomination.

Forgiveness is the Christian way, but how about this "Rev" and his hooting and hollering congregation start with an apology for all of the people that have been offended and hurt by the "Revs" preaching. You KNOW they'd be marching in the streets if this were a white preacher. The double standard is disgusting. "We" can do this (and get away with it) because "we" are black, but "you" cannot because "you" are white. Yuck!!

Why the media is associating the preacher's words to Obama. Why can't we see the good things people do and stop giving too much attention to negativity. There is so much to talk about at this time. Stop judging people by what others say. Let's judge the man by what he says and does.

Barack and Michelle Obama are obviously racist, and anti-American. They would not have attended that church and been friends with Wright for 20 years, if they weren't. Would you bring YOUR children to a place where someone is spewing that kind of hatred? Not unless YOU agreed with it!

I am saddened to know that any Christian would stand in a house of GOD and preach the message that I have been hearing from that Mr. Wright. Anyone that preaches damnation to my country, should never be called the "Rev." I 'm sorry, he is not preaching about the "Jesus" that I know and love. The hatred in his heart has shown through. The Black Christians that I know and worked with have been loving, kind and good people. Everyone has some prejudice in their hearts, but what Wright is preaching is hatred and falsehoods. Obama and his wife, Michelle should be much too smart to be fooled by this rehetoric. If you can't salute the American Flag, nor wear the lapel pin for our great country, perhaps you would be better suited in another
country.

I am extremly sorrowful of the hate and deceitfulness of this Reverend. He has lead his congragation into the pits of hell. He is defintely seperating whites, blacks, and any other race from joining together. Obama most likely knew all about this and in his mind could over come and join people together. TOO BAD there ARE so MANY WOLVES AMONG THE SHEEP. If it walks like a duck, quacks likes a duck IT IS A DUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evil is among us and look ,listen closely THEIR WORDS WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH. GOD BLESS AMERICA .

I WILL NOT VOTE IF OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE IN DECEMBER!! Not t to insult anyone's intelligence but I did not need to see this Wright fiasco to feel this way. The guy has always been a phony and those of us who actually did some research before blindly voting knew that before the news media decided to fall out love with him.

SHAME ON THE OBAMA CULT AND ON THE OBAMAS!! I'm sure Michelle is proud of her country now that they blindly financed her husband's illegitimate campaign.

He needed to come out a year ago to distance himself from Rev Wright. I sympathize, but anything would be too little and too late.

Don't you love those criticizing Barack that cheated on their spouses when they were in office.

We support Barack but will support McCain if Hillary wins.

Enough of the Clintons.

I can't comprehend why many of you are calling Obama a racist. How can he be a racist when he was raised by both his mother and his grandparents who are white? The real racist are those of you who can't look pass the color of his skin.

He is SO over! Hillary will now get the nod. McCain will win! Hurray!

WHEN will the liberal media actually COVER this story? MSNBC, in particular Keith Oberman, still seems completely enamored of Sen. Obama.

Obama remained in a racist church for nearly 20 years. It is a sad day for Blacks in this country to have a man such as himself running for President and claiming to be a Christian. He blew it. Even if he beat out Hillary there is no way Obama he can win now. The Hillary supporters are so sickened by Obama's ties to this church that they'd rather see McCain as their next President. Obama has known these allegations to be true of his church for a long time. He is a smart man and knew these kinds of views were being expressed in the church and yet he never walked away. To say that he didn’t know any of this was taking place only makes Obama look guiltier. He is not fit to be our President. He should be forced to resign as the Senator. He has poor judgment when it comes to the people he chooses to mingle with. This is something that will reamin in the minds and hearts of Americans forever. Be sure of one thing, this issue will go on until election day!

My mama always said be careful of the company you keep.

Obama cannot be trusted. "Words matter". I would never trust him now.

Its over for Obama.

Always thought Barack had issues with race and loved to play the race card. This explains it all.

Even if BO did not hear them personally from the pew, he must have heard about them. He must have heard questions or comments about them. OR are we to believe that this hate-filled ranting about the USA and "rich white people" was so common at Trinity Church that members didn't even comment on it? Unbelievable and illogical!!

Finally, if it is factual that BO had no idea that his spiritual mentor and leader for so many years held these views, then he certainly abandoned the man who is "like an uncle" and denounced his views in very short order. He just found out about these sermons and in a matter of 24-48 hours, this close friend and pastor of 20 years was "thrown under the bus" to save his political career. I am as fundamentally revolted by that disloyal expediency if it truly happened that way as I am by the obvious economic and racial "victim" stance of someone who, with his wife and children, has done very well by using the opportunities offered in this "mean" country.

"MY MENTOR"...

These 2 words alone sums it all up for me!

Obama (early on) chose these two words (among others) to describe what Rev. Wright "means to him".... mentor: teacher; guide; instructor; trainer; tutor; guru ...

Yet Obama has the audacity to expect the American people to (NAIVELY) believe that his "mentor" HAD NO INFLAMMATORY ANTI-AMERICA INFLUENCE ON HIM!!!!!!

20 years! 20 years! "MY MENTOR"! ... SCARY, FOR ALL OF US!!!!!!!!

The women in my office can't stand Hillary and will never vote for her - ever.

Thanks fox news for geting OBAMA out of the hiding. I can't trust CNN & MSNBC any more. I watch FOX news for truth.

I think his best bet would be to tell the truth, in 20 years, we know he heard some of it.

Being honest would not make it all better, but I would respect him more.

#183...Some would say that Hitler and Castro were "sensational". Yes, they are one in the same. They promote hate...what is next? The black master race??? I am sick and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ tired of being blamed for this crap since I am a white male. I almost didnt get into medical school because they had to take a certain percentage of minorities with FAR LESS qualifications. Yes, #183, plenty of people weren't offended by Hitler, either...if you aren't offended by hate, then you are a hater yourself. Do us all a favor and move to Cuba or Venezuela where you can live in your fantasy world!!!!

Good think we have not voted yet in Oregon. My vote will be for Hillary.

Mr. Obama comment about Pastor Wright makes no difference. The choices we make is a reflection of who we are. So obviously this pastor is a reflection of Mr. Obama. Also, it is ridiculous for Mr. Obama to deny knowing this pastor hate for whites, after twenty plus years of closely associating with him. Obviously Mr. Obama will condemn Pastor Wright remarks. But common sense says it all. Mr. Obama knows who Pastor Wright is, and Mr. Obama espouse this Pastor beliefs behind closed doors.

The relationship between one's church and pastor are very ingrained into one's philosophy. If Obama went to this church with this kind of pastor, there is no way in the world I would vote for him!!!

Fox News MUST keep digging into Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and John McCain until all that can be exposed has been. We don't need a president that can lie to the people.

Greta I know hate when I hear it!!!!
I am a 34 year old hispanic woman married to a white man. I attended the Free Barack Obama rally in dallas last month, and left feeling hopeful. It was cool to take part in a historic event. But after the Rev Wright controversy, I feel absolutely deflated. My generation didn't experience, racism like the years before. So when his pastor says these things it's hard for us to understand. We can't relate, it just sounds like plain old hate no matter if he's a church leader/ community servant. The man posed as a servant of God, but I just see him as another fallen angel, that disobeyed God.

OBAMA TRIVIA
============

Here are some less known facts about the brilliant orator and presidential hopeful:

- His first name Barak is a specific Arabic first name and his middle name Hussein is
a specific Muslim name

- he used alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine during his teenage years to
"push questions of who I was, out of my mind"

- according to his own claims both parents were declared atheists

- Despite the fat that he claims that he has never been raised as a Muslim, in the
various schools he attended in Jakarta, Indonesia, he was registered as a Muslim;
also, according to his sister Maya Soetoro, "the family did not attend the mosque
for regular worship, but for communal events"

- his father was a polygamist, as he was already married with a child, in Kenya,
when he married Barak Jr.'s mother: Ann Dunham; before divorcing her, he married
a 3rd woman, Ruth, while studying in Boston, MA

- his father's 3rd wife, Ruth, finally left him after he repeatedly
flew into whisky-fuelled rages, beating her brutally

- four years after his father's death, Obama Jr. traveled to his father's ancestral
Kenyan village. There he learned the full story of his father's life and met some of
his relatives

- after his father, he has 6 step-brothers and a step-sister

- after his own told recollections, he was tortured by fellow pupils - who let out monkey hoots -
and turned into a disenchanted teenage rebel, experimenting with cocaine, marijuana and alcohol
However a former classmate, Alan Lum, radically contradicts Barak's claim:
"Hawaii is such a melting pot that it didn't occur to me when we were growing up that
he might have problems about being one of the few African-Americans at the school. Us kids didn't see color. He was easy-going and well-liked."

- While at Columbia University, his book claims, "no matter how many times the
administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt
correspondence (about) niggers."
But one of his classmates, Joe Zwicker, 45, now a lawyer in Boston, said:
"That surprises me. Columbia was a pretty tolerant place.
There were African American students in my classes and I never saw any evidence
of racism at all."

- Why would a devoted Christian from Chicago name his daughters: Malia and Sasha ?

- According to Chicago Sun of Feb 13, 08, a volunteer setting up an Obama office in Texas
had a Cuban flag with a picture of Che Guevara tacked up in her office

- the Italian translation of the book "Audacity of Hope" was published with an introduction
by Walter Vetroni, a former leader of the Italian Communist party

- One of Obama's good friend, campaign contributor and advisor is Tony Rezko, an Arab American, born in Syria, who is currently facing federal charges of attempted extortion, money laundering, and fraud; Obama had actually received nearly three times more campaign cash from Rezko and his associates than he has publicly acknowledged

- Obama's spiritual leader and counselor is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who said in the
newly disclosed video that the 9/11 attacks were brought on by US "terrorism."

- One of Obama's fervent supporter is boxing champion Floyd Mayweather,
who was in fact several times convicted for violence;

- Barak has close association with the domestic terrorist organization
members William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as with Luis Farrakhan and
the Nation of Islam seniority

- he repeatedly ducked controversial stands in an apparent attempt to make it easier
to be elected to higher office; as a state senator in Illinois,
he voted "present" rather than "aye" or "nay" nearly an astounding 130 times

- he is endorsed by former Black Panther Charles Barron, and by Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the "Nation of Islam"

- Obama is the most liberal of all 100 senators and has absolutely no military, executive or foreign policy experience

#92 - maybe he was or ok so maybe he wasn't at the church. i guess you'd believe that a man would belong to a church for 20 years and know nothing about what his pastor believes in. Maybe you'd like to buy a bridge in arizona that I have for sale. Common sense thats all you need, common sense. God Dam America! Obama knew nothing. Oh give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I forgot, we gave aids virus to the blacks too.

How could he continue to go to a church that professes the hate for my kind and still run for president?

Greg: One comment. Obama talks about the future... Not the past. Are we
really wanting to revisit the 60s? No... Senator Obama wants to move on
and so should we--or so his political platform rallies behind. If the tables were reversed, Hillary would be swept under the rug! What the hell is a mentor then? A word? Is a mentor just a word? Is African American spirtual mentor committee just a committee? Come on... If you want to go the 60s route, vote for McCain. Moreover, if you go to church for 20 years, then how in the world are you going to denounce your pastor? The congregation is pissed at the denounciation of his OWN church.
***REMINDER... US OF KKK A... Are we moving forward???

Greta -

I have always thought that you were level headed! Except HIV Rev Wright's comments were not off track!

Read this story from The Huffington Post. You might find it enlightening.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-schaeffer/obamas-minister-committe_b_91774.html#postComment

I believe Obama is lieing, and as I have said all along, I believe Obama is a phony. By the way, I am an African American Male voting for Hillary!

Nothing Obama can say now will make me believe he knew nothing about the hateful rantings of his Rev. (especially since the sermons were taped and for sale) or that he doesn't share some of those same views. After all, he referred to rich white men, in his book, as cigar smoking crackers according to what Hannity quoted from this evening. Hatred is alive and well in Chicago's Trinity church.

juanita, wake up! yea its different for white women, thats because all your men want that white women botty and not their own kind! be very scared america!! i am a dem, but if he is the one for our party? i and many others will vote for mccain!!!! hands down!!

But the priest who sexually abusees children does not preach his beliefs on the sexual abuse of children from the pulpit.

I wonder if Obama will surround himself with advisors who think like Rev. Wright when and if he is elected president...

It may set race-relations back 300 years!

Just as he doesn't wear a flag pin on his lapel nor stand for the national anthem--his true colors are showing ..he will follow his pastors belief...and be a hater ......and there will be more to come......hmmmmmm. I wonder what Oprah is saying now??/

This is the same Islamic venom we have heard for years from the Farakaan camp. I cannot see America giving Obama a free pass on this, he IS in their camp, might as well confess up!

Where are Obamas celebrity endorsers? Where is oprah? didn't she attend this church then leave because of Wright? OOPS now that wouldn't look too good. I have said from day one this is not a christain church. You don't speak like this on the pulpit with such political viewpoints and gyrate your hips when saying clinton screwed monica. He is a leftist racists from the 60's not a religious leader. Obama has aligned himself with a well known black libertarian and then says Oh I didn't know.

As a pastor's wife for a very long time, my experience has been that those who disagree with the pastor find another church--quickly. There is no way Obama can explain standing behind this man. We need a patriot for our President--not an America hater! This helps us to understand Michelle Obama's comment about America as well.

I have not decided who I am going to vote for. I do know it will now not be Sentor Obama. The situation with Obama has truly disappointed me. Obama states he has gone to this church for 20 years. Know that his pastor has taken this congregation from a small group of people to the size it is today. Which means Obama has know this pastor personally enough to know his value system. His pastor did not become this person since Obama has started to run for public office and certainly not as recent as Obama's run for the president. Also if you are away from your church and that church makes dvd's or tapes of their sermons one would be inclined to get those dvd's or tapes. I would not sit under a pastor who had this kind of prejudices. As a Christian we are to strive to be as Christ is. Christ was the God of all people not a selected group. Even when we do not agree with our government we are to pray for our government not condemn it. Preaching hate only fires the flames of racial divides. Obama is running as the man of all people. Supporting a church which preaches such hate contradicts the man he is claiming to be. He has stated he has not heard any of this rectoric. I believe he is being dishonest. We should strive to choose the best man or women for the job. Character is an issue.

I am African American and a Pastor for over 15 years. Politics have existed in most African American churches as they had no where else to go. Most politicians Black or White visit AA church all across this country because they realize that it is the place we congregate. The AA church has been a political platform for years - Martin Luther King is a great example. Although I cannot take credit for a pastor's service and his total commitment and accomplishments from a sound bite, evidently the church offers more if over 8,000 members attend. Oprah was also a member until last year - will she be judged the same way, as being an African American, yet having universal appeal. I bet you if I search, there have been other famous democratic candidates who have visited that church, because of the numbers of AA there. There is a double standard. Obama is bi-racial - and provides the best of America. As a pastor, I wish all my members listen and adhere to all I say, but that will never happen. Hopefully, that my personality gives them balance to make good choices and they know the difference. They take what enhances them spiritual and socially for themselves and their families. As an African American my political influences have not been those leaders that are on television, but I judge them by their character and a desire to unite. It is funny the very thing Obama wants to do and have been saying over and over to unite American across racial lines, is being used against him. It it suceed, what does it prove. Do we believe the man or the continual desire to discredit him, based on association, hopefully all our associations, good or bad gives us the choice to make the right one. The smoking gun shoots only if we allow it to do so. The media is not building this racial divide. I hope we don't fall for what is instance - but what Obama has been building and we should continue to build with him. DCR

As far as I'm concerned Obama can NOT explain this away. Everything that's happened up to this point now fits. I always felt there was more to Michelle Obama's "finally proud" statement. I honestly believe Oprah feels the same way as the Obama's. Unfortunately, I feel this hate speech is in more black churches across our country then we can imagine...which explains why the topic "racism" never dies in this country, because many so-called black leaders keep fueling the fire.

Obama should withdraw from the campaign. He knows full well that his pastor is a militant who hates white people and the United States. Jeremiah Wright is a dangerously angry pastor who is trying to motivate his congregation to riot. It is difficult for me believe that any thinking person would be overtaken by Obama's and Wright's hateful deceit.

I believe Obama is lieing, and as I have said all along, I believe Obama is a phony. By the way, I am an African American Male voting for Hillary!

This but just one of the lies he has been cught in. When You lie with dogs you get fleas. Don't expect that it can be passed off as out of context as we do not understand the Black mans experience, that is further insulting. This Whole thing points out indeed that the Blaack Community and it churches are just as racist as Whitie.

Senator Obama has financially supported a controversial ministry for years and is clearly aware of his pastors beliefs. He can not fool me or make me feel any better about his association with his pastor by saying that he was not in church when those things were said. What type of Change is senator Obama really promising afterall he has been mentored by pastor Wright.

I was a huge Obama supporter until the comments from his Pastor became well-known... UNACCEPTABLE racist comments. This is a church he attended for TWENTY YEARS. To say he was unaware of these type of comments are not credible. If Obama is the Democratic nominee I will be voting Republican for the first time in my life.

Rev. Wright is the David Duke of the Black Race. As an American Indian I have experience racism first hand. If Senator Obama sat in the pew for twenty years and thought this speech is fine than he should not be President of the United States. He should pack his bags and take his wife and children with him to Africa. He can run for President there. He will not be bothered by crackers, or red "N" as my race is referred to by Black Americans.

Again you can't say anything about him, because if you do it's racist. Enough!! If that was Hillary's minister she would be crucified. Rev. Wright should be put in jail for the way he talks about Hillary. Did anyone ever hear about reverse racism? The Obama people play the race card al the time. Geraldine Ferraro was dragged through the news wires for her comments. I am Italian-American. I know what she was saying, and so did everyone else. God forbid. It's all race,race, race. Keep throwing softballs at Obama. Did we all forget women are minorities?

People closely associated with the Obama campaign keep attempting to brush aside the words of Jeremiah Wright.

To those people I say, you simply can't do that. This is not a simple case of guilt by association.

I heard it said on Fox news tonight by Dick Morris that it was like hearing words of your hair dresser and people such as that; that you associate with those people but do not necessarily have to agree with what they say. The relationship with Obama and Jeremiah Wright is profoundly different than a person with their banker or their hair dresser, and so forth.

A person's spirituality and the alignment of a person with a spiritual leader/spiritual advisor and spiritual body goes to the core of a person's being and existence. That being the case, one can only come to the conclusion that Senator Obama and his wife at the least condone, and at worst back and promote the hateful sentiment that Jeremiah Wright brought forth, and the sentiment that apparently a large part of the congregation agree with, according to the video footage of the congregation applauding, laughing, and shouting in support of.

There is no way Senator Obama did not know the beliefs of Jeremiah Wright after twenty years of belonging to the congregation that Pastor Wright led. That is why Senator Obama uninvited his pastor from an event, because he was afraid Pastor Wright would cost him Jewish votes.

If Senator Obama does win the White House, I have to wonder if this is not the type of people he will surround himself with. Senator Obama is now only distancing himself because he has finally been caught and exposed in his identity with a racist "religious" man and body.

Obama can not denounce his church now because he will lose the black vote. He has been trying to get their vote for 20 years. Thats why he joined ,and stayed in Rev Wrights church. If he does not denounce his church, then he is labeled a racist.
But the scary part is he will get the nomination. Lets just pray Americans can see through the fog. Lets make the smoke clear and see who Obama is.
God Bless America

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE SEE WHAT THE MAN IS DOING. THANK GOD THAT HE IS BEING EXPOSED. THE PASTOR IS A MOPE. THE WHOLE OBAMA THING IS A SCAM. WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE BACKING HIM. THE YOUNG FOLKS AND THE MISINFORMED UNEDUCATED WILL ARE VOTING FOR THIS MAN.
THE DEVIL IN DISCUISE. THEY WANT TO GET HIM IN AND BANG THEY GO US. IT IS ONE THING TO BE A BIGET, IT'S ANOTHER TO BE ANTI AMERICAN.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLACK POLITICAN OR ACTOR THAT WILL STEP FORWARD AND SPEAK NEGATIVE ABOUT HIM. THEY ARE ALSO A BUNCH OF SHAMS.
DUMP THIS GUY FAST AND LET'S MOVE FORWARD.

Sen. Obama must take the American public for total idiots if he thinks he can claim that he did not know of Rev. Wright's radical, militant and anti-American positions. Sen. Obama is always quick witted and quick tongued on every issue - he is certainly fumbling his way through this matter. If you look at Michelle Obama's statements, which we have heard, and consider the 'unknown' character of Sen.Obama, I think the American public better open their eyes. I believe Obama is a very dangerous and devisive individual.

Hi Greta.
Obama is over, praise the Lord. How can we trust his ability to answer 3 AM phone call when he couldn't make up his mind for 20+ years? Either He is absolutely unable to make any decisions or he really is like his pastor and confedant Reverent Wright. We don't need him in any case. One more thing: For 20 years Obama hadn't heard any of his pastor's remarks.
I recall another thing: "I don't know this woman, Monica Luinsky" - Bill Clinton. Remember this remark? It looks like all democrats have to think hard about their party's future. First, they lie, then they deny. It looks like we don't have other choice this year but John McCain. God bless him.

Some years ago I was a volunteer on a multi-“star” benefit in New York City and met many performers whose work I had admired since I was a child. One Oscar-winning actress, who also had successful careers on stage and TV, was one of the nicest, sweetest people I had ever met; so I was surprised at the reaction of the other volunteers to her name. It turned out that this sweet lady had a manager who was “a [frigging] SHARK”—and the word “frigging” wasn’t used, if you know what I mean. I later met him, and they were right--he was just doing his job, but they were right. That sweet lady could afford to be sweet, even in a snakepit like show biz, because she had a shark protecting her. (Please excuse my mixed metaphors.) Sometimes you can’t get a good picture from looking at just one person; you have to look at a whole system: employer/employee(s), husband/wife, parent(s)/child(ren), etc. Any family therapist will explain to you how it works: One person is assigned to be the “family hero,” one the “bad boy,” one the drunk, etc.

Senator Obama is known for his sweetness. Maybe he can be sweet because Rev. Wright and Mrs. Obama are willing to carry less attractive characteristics in the system that includes all of them.

I feel very sorry, and very sad, that Rev. Wright has had the kind of life that would provoke him to say such things. And while those words may not have been entirely typical of Rev. Wright, I have a hard time believing that they were entirely isolated. Sometimes love requires us to ignore the words that people use so we can hear the feelings behind them—not just the anger, but the hurt that lies underneath the anger. Sympathy, however, does not make that kind of destructiveness all right; I would not take my own child into such a setting.

The American people better wake up. . .News media too biased too long. How would the News Media be handling this matter (Rev Wright) if a Republican uttered one sentence like Rev Wright? Clinton more or less rode the coat tails of President Reagan, and most of the things Clinton takes credit for was the result of President Reagan's Presidency . When President Bush took over, he more or less had to clean-up after Clinton. We all know what Clinton did while in office--or the lack of. Hillary keeps talking HEALTH CARE--well they held the presidency for eight years, so why doesn't people have the health care she seems to think everyone needs. We should THANK GOD every day for President Bush---we don't know what America might be facing! Clinton reduced the military, etc. After 9/11, Bush had to rebuild the Military, form all kinds of security, etc. etc. etc. --nothing was in place! The Goverment's job is the DEFENSE OF THE USA. AND THAT'S WHAT OBAMA WANTS TO DO AWAY WITH! GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH!

I find it appalling that Barrack would refer to this idiot as "his spiritual leader", If mr. Wright were truly preaching the word of God as all ministers should, there would not be such hatred in his sermons. I can't imagine Jesus uttering these words. I would also like to challenge Mr. Wright to quote th scripture of"God damn America" in the Bible. I would like to know the book Chapter and Verse. Idare him and Barrack to do it. My father always told me that "Birds of a Feather, flock together".

THE REV.WRIGHTS RANTINGS ARE DISGUSTING AND HATEFULL BUT WHAT IS EVEN MORE DISTURBING IS THE CHEERING FROM THE PASTORS CONGREGATION. HE HAS PLANTED THE SEEDS OF HATE IN THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF HIS CHURCH RATHER THAN THE MESSAGE OF FORGIVNESS OF SINS;THE REASON GOD GAVE US HIS ONLY SON. HOW CAN OBAMA AND HIS WIFE EPOSE THEIR CHILDREN TO SUCH HATRED AND RACIST TEACHINGS? I JUST DON'T SEE HOW SENATOR OBAMA DID NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF MESSAGES WERE BEING DELIVERED IN A CHURCH HE HAS BELONGED TO FOR 20 YEARS.

Hey Bryan My Buddie!! Good to hear from a friend. Barbara thinks I've actually made my decision based on 1 thing!
Most understand the truth, its just the nuts that make excuses for anti-american retoric.
I wish those who want Borack would leave our Glorious USA as they don't deserve to live here!
If you believe in un-american retoric and ok it YOU ARE UNAMERICAN!
We gave blacks aids = these are so stupid and sick I'm going to puke!

The Reverend's comments, whether in context or not, is what it is. Those statements are inappropriate..the end, period. INAPPROPRIATE! And even worse, there were probably kids in the church listening to this, what kind of message is sent to the kids and younger generation listening to this hype on a Sunday?! A presidential candidate is held to a higher expectation and anyone linked to a person of this calibur (Rev. Wright) is simpy wrong. The media has a duty to inform the viewers about this information and more should be done to investigate immediatedly. BTW, Obama insults the public's intelligence to state that he did not know about Rev. Wrights position until a year ago. Any church member knows and is connected to others within the church intimately and people talk,.....to say he did not know is again, an insult.

Question is will Obama's wife be by his side tomorrow? That will be telling. If not then maybe the coverup is in place. Its easier to lie when the person closet to you and making statements against america is not there.

Rev Wright really does not surpise me after reading Michelle Obama'a Princeton Thesis.............Barack Obama has choosen to surround himself with very controversial people............William Ayers, (known terrorist) Bernadien Dohrn, (known terrorist and 1970's most dangerous woman in America) Tony Rezko, (currently under Federal Trial) and Frank Marshall Davis, (known Communist)................I think we can all see a pattern here............What kind of judgment would Obama bring to the White House?............I urge everone to read Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, Princeton Thesis.............http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.

You haven't addressed the fact that if Obama is a member of this church, he not only is associated with the pastor but also with the other members of the church who I saw in the videos were cheering the pastor's controversial remarks.

How "active" in the Trinity church is the Obama family? Perhaps he is only a "member" to be able to say that he is a Christian? Perhaps he hasn't really attended this church very much....when interviewed the other night he sort of avoided the question about his attendance, making excuses about his attendance (or lack thereof). Is he only a Christmas/Easter church attender? I would be interested to know what Obama really belives about being a Christian.

All of you defending Obama deserve him as your President.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/17/opinion/17kristol.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

What Wright said is very much in line with what Michelle Obama said that “this is the first time she is proud to be an American.”

“a journalist who has written about Wright’s ministry, claims that Obama was in fact in the pews at Trinity last July 22. That’s when Wright blamed the “arrogance” of the “United States of White America” for much of the world’s suffering, especially the oppression of blacks. In any case, given the apparent frequency of such statements in Wright’s preaching and their centrality to his worldview, the pretense that over all these years Obama had no idea that Wright was saying such things is hard to sustain.

This doesn’t mean that Obama agrees with Wright’s thoroughgoing and conspiracy-heavy anti-Americanism. Rather, Obama seems to have seen, early in his career, the utility of joining a prominent church that would help him establish political roots in the community in which he lives. Now he sees the utility of distancing himself from that church. Obama’s behavior in dealing with Wright is consistent with that of a politician who often voted “present” in the Illinois State Legislature for the sake of his future political viability.

The more you learn about him, the more Obama seems to be a conventionally opportunistic politician, impressively smart and disciplined, who has put together a good political career and a terrific presidential campaign. But there’s not much audacity of hope there. There’s the calculation of ambition, and the construction of artifice, mixed in with a dash of deceit — all covered over with the great conceit that this campaign, and this candidate, are different.

With no particular dog in the Democratic fight, many conservatives have tended to think it would be good for the country if Obama were to win the Democratic nomination, freeing us from the dreary prospect of the return of the House of Clinton. Now I wonder. Might the country be better off with the cynicism of the Clintons than the conceit of Obama?

All voters ask of any candidate is the truth. Not out of convenience or necessity, but right up front before we vote. Too late for me.

Greta,this is political sucide I think this is high tec lynching the media is trying to divide the blacks race.The media are making their living on these remarks,
The media is trying to bring Obama down .Fox news is terrible .I don't like everything fox does.I like Bill O Rielly, I don't agree with everything he said I agree with some of things the Pastor said white america must acknowledge there is a race problem in America.I must say Most left wing america dosen't want a black man for president,I would vote for him 1,ooo times if I could.

Sen. Obama has every time I've heard him speak been so articulate until he failed to convinse me that he didn't know about Rev. Wright's retoric and that he does't subscribe to this way of thinking until he was pressed on the issue.

Good Bless America...but not republicans. America can do much better.

Barbara: Have you watched the news at all??? Obviously NOT. Clinton or McCain's preachers aren't IN THE NEWS SPEWING FILTH ABOUT THE USA. I don't even know who they are. Take a pill

Sen. Obama can not undo these comments, His continuing to attend this church supports such actions of this type of teaching. Lord help us all! Why would real Americans give him their votes or trust now.

The notion that he "wasn't there" or "was surprised" by the hatred that his pastor of 20 years espouses so freely does not hold water. You cannot sit under someone's teaching Sunday after Sunday for that long and not know what he stands for. That is, unless Obama never attended the church on a regular basis and is just using the church to say that he's a Christian. I'm not sure which is worse. Both are abhorrent. Having an endorsement & taking a photo with someone are totally different than having them be your spiritual advisor. He has backed himself into a corner. I just hope the American people aren't foolish enough to dismiss this one. This guy would be a dangerous individual to elect as the President of the United States. Wrong direction...

Again, this absolutely amazes me. for all of you who are saying that there is nothing that Obama can do to separate himself from his Rev. you never intended to vote for him anyway. Let me ask all of you this question. How many of you celebrate Christopher Columbus Day? What racists you all are. your entire life, you've known what Christopher Columbus did to the indigence people and yet you celebrate him in spite of the slaughtering of an entire people. HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ABOUT ASSOCIATION. YOU'VE ALL ASSOCIATED YOURSELVES WITH A MURDERER. STOP BEING REDICULOUS.

fox news leads the coverage of the obama racism issues and i thank them fot bringing into more of the media light we dont need another racist in power ( no matter what the color) i can tell you from the 4 news orgs cnbc,fox ,cnn and msnbc fox news is the only one to have any courage while cnn and msnbc do all they can not to cover the racism of oboma and his connections to the likes of farrakhan and the weathermen ( not to mention defending and working with rezko a known slumlord) the sad part is that it took a presidential run to bring to air his racism and that his racism didnt come to light before he gained the power of a senator this is the cost of political correctness overriding honesty had the media,s been honest instead of politicaly correct a racist wouldntve had the chance to hold one of the most powerful possitions on the planet

Senator Obama has not watched his associations closely. He is guilty of endorsing his "ministers" views by not quitting this church. When did this so called "minister" decide to retire? Before or after Obama got word of this all coming to the attention of the entire country? Guilt by association!

I find Rev. Wrights comments radical, hateful, hostile, disgusting. I have NEVER in my entire life heard anyone regardless of color EVER speak such vile words. Obama has been friends with Rev. Wright for many years and there is no way that this type of vile spirit has not been revealed in the past. Sorry, I just don't buy it!!!

It is almost impossible to believe that he sat in the church and was very close friends (like a father) to his pastor for more than 20 years and was totally unaware of his outrageous unAmerican and racists comments. In addition, his pastor married him and baptized his children. I strongly believe he has lied to Americans and should not be running for president. It is absolutely discusting. He is constantly talking about his judgement as qualifing him to be president. Well. . . if he had good judgement. . . And what about the Tony Rezco issue? Is he also calling that good judgement? He is so full of it and I am sick and tired of hearing his empty and false messages of hope, change, judgement. He has been talking out of two sides of his mouth. I am a lifelong democrat and can NOT and will NOT vote for Obama if he gets the nomination. I would think there are many other AMERICANS who feel the same way.

I find it difficult to accept that Obama was not aware of the white hate speech of his minister. As a Senator, he claims to know a great deal about what is happening in this country. If he attended this church for 20 years, he had a responsibility to himself, his family and then his constituency to be aware of, and refute hate speech in any and all the groups to which he belonged and donated funds This would include his church affiliation. I suspect that Obama does believe in the hate America and hate whitey first. For instance, it is easier to blame AIDS on white America, rather than accept the responsibility for the sexually permissive behaviors, which are the real cause of AIDS. False aniti American hate speech is awful. How does this church avoid being taxed..since it funtions as an arm of the far, far left Democratic Party?

I'm an evangelical Christian. The Jesus I know taught unity, love and reconciliation. I've gone to the same church for 24 years and have had the same pastor for 25. First I was shocked, then horrified at what I heard Mr. Wright espouse. This is not the Christian religion I know. It is nothing less than hateful rhetoric. If Obama wants to get along in this world and even have a chance of being elected, he needs to leave that church. What harm is he doing to his children if he chooses to stay? I'll feel so bad if he stays.If he's elected President by some stretch, I will be very scared.

Mr.Wright may be Pastor for 20 yrs, but does he understands the meaning of pastor ? after watching his video i was shocked, he is demonising the people.
People go to church to perform preyers that gives good relief and comfortable to every soul in the name of Jesus.
If pastors like Mr. wright continue to preach in that style, iam sure With in this country many people get will Mad and terrorized by this kind of Anti people, Anti-American, and racial preachings.
For God sake please keep these kind of demonising preachers away from Public.
I don't want to blame Mr.Obama on this issue.

Corrine....Hey I just saw you comment. Sorry us rich white guys were having our weekly meeting and trying to decide on another disease to create.

Instead of saying "Where is Waldo?" how about saying "Where is Rev. Wright?" Find this man Fox News! I would just love to see him defend his hateful remarks. Don't tell me Rev. Wright doesn't know about this news. Why doesn't Obama produce Rev. Wright! My God this man is hateful. Senator Obama, I don't believe you for one second that you didn't know your Rev. views. I was going to vote for you and I am a Republican. You make me sick! I thought you were a Great Man trying to get everyone together no matter what race you were, Bull! You are like your friends is what I was taught! Come on "Where is Waldo and Rev. Wright?" Come out of hidding Rev. Wright!
Thank You
Karen Atassi

So far I haven't heard a plausible Obama comment re the Rev. issue.
NO WAY do I believe he was unaware of this preacher's hateful sermons.
one final word from me:
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Obama's an idiot, and a joke of a Presidential candidate... and now that its been proven that he's affiliated with this jack-ass, racist clown - Wright... hopefully these UNINFORMED & blind Democrats will see him for who he really is!!!!! Anyone who believes that Obama wasn't aware of, and/or in conjunction with - Wright's views... is 12 bagels short of a baker's dozen, and an IDIOT!!

I am furious that CNN is not covering this story at all. Lou Dobbs did on CNN - but I haven't seen anyone else do anything but cover it up or brush it off. Democrats watch CNN and WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS - VOTERS NEED TO KNOW WHO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA REALLY IS AND WHO HE IS LINKED TO. I am a democrat and am embarrassed to be one right now. How could a man with a Muslim father and step father, who is the student and mentee to this nutcase Rev. Wright and his anti-American and anti-white campaign, and whose name sounds like a terrorist - (Hussein Obama) - how is this man being so heavily supported by the democrats during a terrorist age? This is straight out of the twilight zone. If it comes down to it I will vote for McCain instead of Osama - I mean Obama.

I was beginning to lean more towards Obama, but after hearing his pastor's remarks, I am definitely turned off by him. For Obama to stick to this church and all the hateful sermens, this is appalling to me! Afterall, he was raised by a white family and his African-American father left him when he was two years old. It looks to me like Obama is dividing Whites and African-Americans, his advantage being African-Americans. And the comment by his wife that she's proud of her country for the first time in her adult life, well that's just bull too. I live in Pennsylvania, and I will definitely cast my vote for Hillary Clinton.

There is an old saying, "We're known by the company we keep." If Obama didn't agree with the philosophy of this so-called church and its leaders, he would not have continued to be a member. With Wright's teaching, it's no wonder Michelle Obama was not proud of her country. Just think of the hate her children are being taught! Obama claimed to unite. Blacks and whites both blindly flocked to see him. No one knows what he truly stands for...."change" .... change to what? Osama?

#285 in ref. to your "almost not getting into med school comment" welcome to the world of being black. Poor you. Main word in that sentence is "almost" what about all of the people that NEVER got into school BECAUSE they were black? No one is blaming you for anything but the facts are the facts. Wright said nothing that offended me (that I heard on the air). Fact is, white people can't accept that we yes WE created this nightmare and we are only reaping what we sow. Thank God there are some of us with a brain stem left that actually BELIEVE that all men are created equal and want to strive to make this nation better... do you honestly think you will get that with Hillary???? I would consider that a fantasy world. I consider this reality. I don't breed hate, not even remotely. I just don't feed into this whole rip Obama apart because some people's little toes got stepped on.. put a band aid and suck it up.

I HAVE AN IDEA. LETS HAVE A NATION WIDE AND SEE THE NUMBER OF VOTERS THAT WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR OBAMA IN NOVEMBER THAT HAVE SUPPORTED HIM IN THE PAST..

Obama always talks about words and how they are important eat your own words and now he wants to give the nation a racism speech. I call bull shit on this!!! Like so many bloggers before, its not what you say but what you do and going to a racist church for twenty years and hanging around a professor who at one time bombed the pentagon is crazy.

This issue is even bigger than just one church. Rev. Thomas, who is a denominational leader in the United Church of Christ has publicly defended Mr. Wright's remarks. Apparently, this church agrees with the message of Mr. Farrakhan, that God has chosen the black race to rule the world. Farrakhan's open support of Barak Hussein Obama reveals that he doesn't see Obama as a Christian, but a Muslim. Al-queda training manuals reveal that they train Muslims to come to America and pretend to be "born again." Obama seems to have been through this training.
Wake up America!

Individuals attend a certain church because they share the value system of the pastor and other members of the congregation. By lying about his presence at hate filled sermons, Sen. Obama has lost all credibility and integrity. He clearly lacks judgment and undoubtedly has not been candid to the American public. If a white minister had made similar remarks about blacks, the story and would have been 20 times larger and the white candidate would have had to immediate withdraw from the race. Although I was an ardent Obama supporter, I am now supporting Sen. Clinton for President.

#242 - Hillary problem is just a trifle different that HATING AMERICA. DO YOU GET IT??? Hating the country your wanting to RUN! THerapy maybe?

You gotta agree that Hillary must be doing a happy dance watching FOX lately knowing FOX is bringing out all this about OBAMA--this DNC is going to be very interesing this year and for John McCain he just has to sit back and watch the democrats self-destruct!!!

Just two principles are applicable here, Greta (with regards to Obama and his "mentor, as he considers Wright)..."birds of a feather flock together", and "we are judged by the company we keep". Obama must share his pastors' views else he would attend a church where he was being "fed" good spiritual food, rather than this hate-filled garbage!!!!
It is terrible the way the "black churches" as they have referred to themselves in separation from "white churches" (I suppose). Our country is being forced by this mentality to choose sides...black vs. white, by people like preacher Wright and all of those who agree with him and his hateful and hate filled attitude and speech! (By the way, I'm sure you well know, the Bible teaches being a peacemaker, and not to stir up strife).
Greta, keep up the good work you and your coworkers at Fox News do each and every day. 90% of any TV watched by me is Fox News!!

I can't believe the comments . You democrats should not be taken or fooled
by the republican tactics that are being used against Obama. this is just a ploy
to stop him from being nominated the republican are using you guys and it is working. Don't be fooled.

Mr.Wright may be Pastor for 20 yrs, but does he understands the meaning of pastor ? after watching his video i was shocked, he is demonising the people.

How stupid does Barrack Obama think the american people are , that they will
believe him when he now denounces the words of the pastor he listened
to for 20 years ? Although he might not have been present for every cermon
of this pastor , but he certainly must have known what the pastors views were. Now suddenly Obama denounces him and claims to be appolled by
these cermons . Anyone decent who would have been appolled by the words
of this pastor , would have left this church a long ,long time ago .
Shame on you Barrack Obama . You will never be my president !

Despite his oratorical gift Barack Obama has exhibited only clumsy, stammering, disingenouous denials. Obama has repeatedly avoided denouncing or distancing himself from sources of hate and bigotry until he has been absolutely pushed up against a wall -- i.e. re: Louis Farrakhan during the national debates, and now as he faces consequences of his long-standing commitment to and support of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Whatever else he may do, it is incontestible that Wright preaches racist hatred, bigotry, and divisiveness. He rants and he lies. Since when does one impart hope and courage, self-confidence and pride of identity, belief in the ability to accomplish, by teaching hate and convincing people that they are poor victims in a country whose great purpose is to destroy them??!! Barack Obama has been committed to and supportive of his Church and this pastor for more than 20 years. It does not take a rocket scientist to "get" that the man who has presented himself to be "the man to unite and lead with change" is but a carefully crafting marketing character that doesn't exist. Worse, someone has "pulled back the curtain on the Great Wizard (remember Oz?) and revealed not just an ordinary man, but one who buys into anger, divisiveness, lies and bigotry that only provide excuses for those who don't attain all they want.
This is not an issue about not understanding black churches. Animation and participation and excitement are not the same thing as eliciting vicious outright lies, poisoning minds, exhorting hatred, and encouraging victimology.

To Bod in Fl. #295
HIV/Aids started in the "Gay" community not the black community. The problem was in the early 80's no one in power cared about the all the Gays dying from AIDS so nothing much was done about it until it started to show up in the heterosexual community.

in forty years how far has America really come?. from the 1968 race riots to the race hate spewed from the pulpits of the countrys black 'christian' churchin 2008. As a uk resident i was as deeply shocked and astonished by what i heard as anyone else and find it very hard to believe that obama has totally been in the dark as to what his preachers political views are and by saying he has never been present when these sermons were delivered;This is definitely going to come back and bite the senator in the bum big time!!!!

I like the guy Fox showed being interviewed on Bill O'Reilly's show with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth saying that he believes in whatever Pastor Wright says. I think if this "pastor" told his bunch to blow up the White House they wouldn't sleep a wink before finding some dynamite.

He has a lot of education but someone forgot to give him some common sense! With education and his position in this church comes responsibility. He should've thought about his remarks before he even thought about uttering them from the pulpit. Somebody forgot to tell him that it doesn't matter what his message was supposed to be. It's the impression of what his message was when this treasonous hate monger decided to preach this hatred. This is commonly referred to as "Reverse Disrimination." Nobody has asked the Marine Corp whether they endorse his comments? Lee Harvey Oswald was a marine as well. He should not have embarrassed the Corp with the kind of behavior and still call himself an ex-marine! I have never attended a black church and as fair as I would like to think I am? I cannot for the life of me begin to understand how this could possibly be a black thing that only blacks can understand? The only purpose that his sermons have served so far is to continue to keep alive the slavery issue to hopefully continue to increase or continue black special interest! He has the same agenda that Lewis Farrakhan, Malcom X, and the like, and that is to stir up social unrest to try and make Whites pay for the transegressions of the past; eventhough, I have never mistreated anyone of any color in my entire life. I am an american. My heritage is german, Irish, Native American Indian, French, and to quote my grandmother, "the rest is Scandinavian Hienz 57." I spent 18.5 years of my life serving in the USAF and retired as an E7 (Master Seargent). I feel that Rev. Wright, which is a misnomer in itself, should've stayed in Lybia with Muammar Khadifi. What proof does this finatic have to backup this propaganda he is using to criciticize the United States. Anyone who has studied history knows that he is committing treason by making accusations that have no historical evidence and if he has the evidence he has a responsibility to our nation to expose it!!!! Otherwise, as my mother says, everyone is crazy different!!! But, that does not excuse him or the government for letting this nut case to continue his rampage!!! He needs to be prosecuted for treason and let him prove his accusations. Otherwise, put him in exile, put him in prison for life, or execute him as per the law and be done with it! He has hurt Obama for life and if anyone is stupid enough to believe that they can compare this lunatic to any other "similar" situation is truly in "La La Land!" Obama must have been told not to show up for these surmons for fear that they might jepardize his political career. Otherwise, he lied! Who would trust him after that? There is a silent majority in this country that fear this kind of politics and Obama will pay the price! That is the biggest shame of all! And I for one will say this, if Obama gets elected, and Rev. Wright or anyone like him ever step foot in the white house, much less spend the night? There will be irreperable damage to the Democratic Party and black politics!

It does not ring true that he did not know. I belong to a very large church of 24000 people. When anything unusual or controversial is preached, I hear about it whether I am there or not -- and I've only been a member for 4 years. The idea that a 20 year member, a man well known and with power, would not hear / be made aware of such statements, even if they are just off the cuff "sound bites", stretches credulity. Someone would tell him whether out of concern for the church or more recently concern over his political career. Does not ring true. American people will know in their hearts that things don't add up; that's why we turn to the people for our juries -- the common sense and wisdom of the people.

To his supporters who think republicans are stupid for falling for this, WHO IS MORE THE FOOL the church who burned copies of the DVD of wright and sold it to ABC and FOX to be aired? Now thats stupid. This is real factual info not slanderous gossip. Obama supporters can't deal with it so they want ot move on well guess what if we get our wish Obama will move on back to his hom in chicago.

If Rev Wright introduced Obama to Jesus, one wonders what Obama believes about Jesus. Did Wright teach Obama that racism was part of Christian theology? This needs to be investigated in detail-broad strokes and generalities are insufficient. Was Obama baptized by Reverend Wright? Does Obama believe that Reverend Wright's hateful sermons describe what Jesus would have said or done? What if a white (yellow or red-skinned) pastor spoke this way about black people. Is this not racist? Why did Wright recently resign? Was it so Obama could say Wright was his "former Pastor"?

Obama is done. How could he not know what his pastor was like. If he could lie about this now what type of president would he be. Thank heavens for Fox News for addressing this issue and bringing it to our attention .

BAD JUDGEMENT BARACK! With some 20 years of association with Rev. Wright you didn't know of his hate mongering obsession? This is an example of judgement that will remove all possibility for you to become the Democratic Nominee. America alleged to be no better than AlQueda? Our American government is responsible for HIV? That our American Government injected AIDS to kill Blacks? This is totally Anti-American in my opinion! Shame on you Barack Obama.

Some Americans are not ready for a black president, the news media
is making sure of that. They play this over and over to make sure all
the gullible racist voters hear this story ! Was McCain asked to explain
John Hagee? Was Hilliary asked why she was a Goldwater Girl for the
Republicans, or why she continues to hide her tax returns? Hilliary is for
Hilliary and will do anything to "win". Win she won't ! Don't you think for one
minute that the African American community doesn't see and understand
what white america is doing, John McCain will be your next president,
we will all stay home. 100 more years of brothers, sisters uncles, cousins
will die in Iraq-and because of your readiness to blame someone for
another's comments. Thanks to you we got George Bush, now thanks to
you we will have John McCain. Americans will never ever learn to not
be a patsy for all the others who brainwash you into doing their evil
deeds. So go ahead blame Obama, you were looking for some reason to
do that anyway. Take a real close look at Hilliary or McCain, but you won't
will you? Afraid you may find something? Lots more baggage than Obama.
I'm Thankful that some people out there can still think for themselves, and
not be lead by the nose by the news media. Wake up Americans, this is
truly our chance to get past those things that divide us-PLEASE !

Sen. Obama should resign from this election -- period.
How can anyone trust him. He will never bring America together.
With a mentor like Wright who needs enemies.
I wonder how many black, latino and white people would take back their vote
now that we are truly getting to know Sen. Obama
I am tired of him saying Hillary voted for war. She voted to have the inspectors go to Iraq to search for WMD. The President took on the war even though they did not find WMD. Hopefully he will be man enough to resign
before he brings more discord to the party.

I have to admit I was starting to favor Obama and then I heard the rantings of Pastor Wright. If my pastor would conduct himself in this manner I would find another church to attend. Pastor Wright seems unstable and is filling his congregation with hatred for whites and the United States. I find Pastor Wright's comment that the United States is resonsible for AIDS completely absurd. This is insane.

I am also disappointed in the sugar-coated coverage the major networks and some of the cable channels have provided to the public. These news sources refuse to give accurate news. They continue to stick their heads in the sand when something just the slightest negative is said about Mr. Obama.

Also, I wonder if the media would have put the Pastor Wright story out there six months ago, would Mr. Obama still be in the lead for delegate votes?

Did the major networks and some of the cable channels bury the story? Makes me wonder...

Barack Hussein Obama born muslim, his conversion to christianity at age 26 will be difficult to be loyal to his new religion. I wonder why his white grand parents have been distant ? Barack's first name,middle name and last name is pure muslim not even African. So the black americans did not know that he was translucent, now that they know, they are disappointed because they prefer a black president with both black parents. Barack is sneaky and a liar he is an extention of Jeremiah Wright . He wants to get in the White House at any cost, so he can turn our Country around to Muslims and terrorist.
Please young people Black and White you will have time to pick a good Black president one who can protect you and our country. BUT NOT THIS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!!!!!

I am a 50 y/o white guy.... Sen. Obama got my attention a few years ago as the keynote speaker at the DNC... I liked him then and began expecting great things from him.... However, Mrs. Clinton got my attention nearly 16 years ago and like-wise I began expecting great things from her, ( I've waited more than ten years to vote for her in this race), I voted for Hillary when our primaries came around in Oklahoma.... I WAS getting ready to vote for Sen. Obama this fall... I believed he WAS going to be our nominee.... even though I didn't know him.... I will wait now... I want to know him at least eight years before I trust him with my country. I believe he can NOT now win in November....

When you preach "black liberation theology" this is what you get. All white people are not racist, nor are all black people; however, racism does exist in this country. How can we ever get over it with such hatred being spued by a minister of the Gospel? I don't know what Bible he preaches from, but the Bible I read does not teach that Jesus was a poor black man, oppressed by rich white people and that America should be damned. I just don't think that you can associate with a man for 20 some odd years and not know how he believes about certain things. Maybe this theology is why Michelle Obama states that this is the first time in her adult life she is proud of her country.

I find it impossible to attend a church for 20 years if you don't believe in its teachings. This church teaches hatred. We should have all realized when Oprah backed OBAMA that he was a racist only looking out for black America. If a white candidates preacher,minister or pastor would have made any racial comments about black Americans so blatantly full of hatred , well that candidate would have been tried and convicted by Rev. Al Sharpton and the whole black community. Racism goes both ways ... I am tired of the double standard in America. America is definitely ready for a black president, just not this black man. America is also ready for a woman president, and I do believe this is the woman. GO HILLARY!!!

Jenna. I absolutely believe in Republican dirty tricks. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM HOWEVER. If the Republicans were smart, they would wait to fan the flames until the Gneral Election. Anyone calling attention to this issue right now does so out of genuine concern for a SERIOUS issue we should be examining. Between Obabma's militant tendencies as a youth, to his wife saying several months ago that black voters needed to "come home to Obama" to her comments about not being proud of America until this year to Obama sitting in this clearly racist church for over TWENTY YEARS and calling the REV. a MENTOR...this is not the fault of the Republicans. It is the fault of an American Press who did not fully vet this candidate. By the way... I RARELY watch the Fox News as I feel it is SO incredibly slanted in their coverage, but I have been watching it significantly more the last several days as I feel they are the only channel giving this subject the coverage it deserves...the rest of the news media is catching up, but I feel will let slip away after the normal 2-3 day news cycle.

I heard Rev. Wright's comments and I asked myself, Why is it when Blacks talk about race in this country he or she is always labeled as hatemongers or some how UnAmerican. Maybe if America actually begin to work towards racial issues we wouldn't hear so much so called hatred. Let's start with officially apologizing for SLAVERY!!!!!!!!!!

I have been watching Obama's racist pastor rant behind the pullpit with hate speech propoganda...I am truly amazed. Wright is not a pastor preaching Bible principles i.e., Christ, Love, Hope, Faith etc..This man is full of HATE! If Obama has been affiliated with this man for the past 20 years he obviously has the same feelings that Wright has about whites, America etc. Who needs that running for president of this country. We have enough problems without taking racism back 40 years into the past. Obama needs to resign. These tapes should have been brought into the open months ago.

I'm glad you white guys, Bryan, are out there creating a new disease. It will give Wright something to advise Obama on - that us white folk are killing them AGAIN! WITH A NEW DISEASE. Maybe theres some aid's virus left.
What a pile of s..t!

All I will say is I voted for Obama in the primary ,but will vote for McCain in Nov. He is the only choice now.

From now on I think every elected person should turn over tapes from their church services and disclose spiritual affiliation so Americans can really know who they are voting for and how to vote on the issues and how to determine who will lead this country. Three weeks ago most of you probably would not have voted for him because he was "muslim". A week later he is a Christian. Give me a BREAK!

How many of you will benefit in the Fall from your current positions against Obama? How exactly does this help our economy? Do you really believe that a man born to a white mother and raised in a white family accepts the words of this pastor? If you do not want to support him then don't but please do not look for such a sorry excuse to not vote for Obama. Do not use this lame tactic to help the media propaganda determine the fate of our country at such a critical point in our lives as Americans. These same or similar games were played in our last election - we all got emotional and we all got what we deserve - George W. Bush and another Vietnam-like war that we may never recover from.

This pastor has said rather angry and unsettling things that cannot be justified. The issues raised by these tapes are issues that the races in this country are not prepared to deal with but they are certainly not political commentary!!

Finally, these attacks are not about Obama, it is about the black church and people in our country that continue to feel disenfranchised and abused by the majority in this country. Right or wrong, it is how many people feel and sometimes the only place that they can let their anger and frustrations out is in their church with others of similar experience. The church is sometimes the place that many black people in this country feel safe to "be".

Hey Fox News - why not run a "fair and balance" discussion on the black church. Invite Eric Dyson, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and ask them. But stop making Obama responsible for what other people do that he has clearly stated he opposes and denounces!

Take a deep breath people!

ET

While everyone is at it, it might be a good idea for those of you interested to
Google, Obama, Oginga, to learn more about his fine affiliations.
Sad, to be deceived by a silver tongued devil. Something we women know all about. But the well conceived Rock Star plan has begun to fall through.
Those who were putting lots of money into the "image" are rethinking now how to change all of your minds.
Will you let this will happen. Most sheep follow the trends. Are you?
I hope not. But why didn't those of you who supported him do your research before placing your blind vote. He will be the nominee, according to Morris, who by the way, has some dealings in Kenya, too. So there will be a long time to resell the damaged goods. Before the media is finished he will look like Jesus again, and the swooning will begin, the fainting. And the hate speech which so incites you now, will be quietly swept away. Reverend Wright has already been renamed "former Minister". But my friends
this kind of hate, cannot be called "former hate", And if there is a thing as repentance, the best way Obama, can repent, is to withdraw from his dreams of glory. But he won't. So it is up to those of you to not forget once the resell begins, and the reimaging, takes place. If you do forget, God help America.

God Bless America.
PS
I support none of the candidates offered by either party.

It is going to be very interesting to hear his hemming and Hawing tomorrow in his speach trying to side step this. THANK GOD it has come out in time to get rid of him. The democratic party should make him resign immediately from the race for President. He is a disgrace to his race. He has lied since day one.
ALL Super Delagates are required to vote for Hillary Clinton as they are there to keep a person like this from getting elected. Now is the time for them to do their jobs. Step in and give their vote for Hillary Clinton.

Some of you are so sad and racist even GOD himself couldn't help you. Why should he be held responsible for what someone else says? Rev. Wright is speaking from the true experience of this country's racist history!! That's a fact!! Nothing on earth was more cruel and inhuman than slavery!! There has never been an apology for that!! That's what Rev. Wright is angry about. Over 400 years and you're still racist!! You still don't play on a level playing field. You still discriminate. That's what's happening now. Barack was trying to live above discrimination. He wanted peace. But you poor sad people can't be helped. Should all Catholic politicians resign or apologize because some Priest in the Catholic church raped and molested little children. I never heard you calling for Catholics to explain why they didn't leave the church. Ron Paul (presidential candidate) said it was U.S. foreign policy that caused attacks on the U.S. That's what Rev. Wright said also. YOU'RE SICK. I feel sorry for you. Again some. Not all.

Corrine....by reading some of these Obama supporter comments I now know why America is in the trouble that it is in. These people are Freakin Idiots!!!

Is this why Obama doesn't wear a flag pin? Is this why he didn't place his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance? Is this the reason for Michelle's disdain for America? So many questions that probably can't be answered! And what is left but utter sadness. Just when we thought a wonderful man had appeared that we could ALL have faith in, that would lead all America to a new kind of understanding and government by all the people, now this!! And now, are we going to have to settle once again, for the Clintons?? Thank God we still have John McCain to lead us through, one man who is truly an honest and brave man. I hope he can just withstand any dirty tricks or lies the Dems may make up to bring him down!! God bless John McCain and God bless America!!!

Barack HUSSEIN Obama is REALLY a Muslim... and anti-USA!! He'll be the straw that broke the camel's back in sending the U.S. down the tubes for good! Our country will really be the laughing stock...

People come-on are we going to let this be the reason why we let Mc cain win
the presidency and the economy continue to be this bad and the war continues
for a 100 years. People lets get serious.

Donna: Your a fool! Hagee is NOT McCains minister, nor is "uncle", father figure, spiritual advisor. Use your brain - it only takes a small portion! There is a HUGE difference. Some of you - you just don't think!
As The Rev. Wright says: "Ridin Dirty" that said as he's humping the pulpit spewing about Clinton and Monica.
Gosh, golly gee, I'd just love to bring my kids to that church!

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA must step down. I feel really sorry for all of the true patriots who voted for this man throughout the primaries without knowing who he really was. They have got to be even madder than I am about all of this. Why did it take so long for this story to peak? I have been astounded throughout the primaries how the media has promoted and overly supported Obama. I blame the media entirely for turning tv into the nonstop Barack Obama show. CNN is one long nonstop commercial for him and has been for months. And now they are brushing aside the whole story about Barack's racist America hating mentor Rev. Wright - who is "like an uncle" to him and "helped him find Christ." THE MEDIA NEEDS TO COVER THIS AND MAKE EVERONE AWARE OF WHO BARACK HUSSEIN IS! I APPLAUD fOX NEWS FOR DOING SO. CNN- WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE FOR PROMOTING THIS AMERICA HATER AND FOR HIDING THIS STORY FROM THE VOTERS?

Now the issue for tomorrow is no more about the association, cause people already figured that out. The problem is that Obama denied it, and this is not the first problem he has tried to sweep under the rug, which comes back to his credibility as a person. All he had to do come out and tell the truth from the begining and it would not be in this mess. But as I say always, all of us, make oured and sleep in it, the way we made it. So Obama, has no one to blame but himself, for not being truthful, not for being associated with the crazy pastor, as we all have some cray family or friend around us.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright
thinks he was “God Damning”
America and White People,
but Scripturally he was
“God Damning” God
for allowing Black African Chieftains
to sell Black people to White
Slave runners, and he was “Damning God
for allowing the institution of Slavery
to exist in the first place!
And he was damning GOD for all the Wars that
have ever taken place.
It appears that Jeremiah Wright preaches exactly what he believes and most assuredly has shared his personal views with Obama, either in his living room or in Obama’s living room, at Christmas Dinners.

Rom.13 says:
[1] Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
[2] Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Had Slavery not happened maybe
NO present day Black African Americans
would have come to Salvation
through Jesus Christ our Lord….Just a thought.

The Bible tells us that GOD establishes Kings and Kingdoms
And allows mankind to carry out his WILL !

Question: "Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?"

Answer: Why do bad things happen to good people? That is one of the difficult questions in all of theology. God is eternal, infinite, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, etc. Why should we human beings (not eternal, infinite, omniscient, omnipresent, or omnipotent) expect to be able to fully understand God’s ways? The book of Job deals with this issue. God had allowed Satan to do everything he wanted to Job except kill him. What was Job’s reaction? “Though he slay me, yet will I hope in (not damn) him” (Job 13:15). “The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised” (Job 1:21). Job didn’t understand why God had allowed the things He did, but he knew that God was good and therefore continued to trust in Him. Ultimately, that should be our reaction as well.

McCain for President!!!!!!!!!!

After going to this horrible man's (Jeremiah Wright) church for 20 years, Obama knows exactly what Wright is. By Wright's own words he is hates America, Jews and White people. He is trying to move the people in his congregation to to also hate America and White people and Jewish people. I really think that Obama secretly believes all the things that his pastor preaches about hate is also in his heart. Obama will never admit that he is a clone of Jeremiah Wright. Why does Obama and Jeremiah wright keeping crying about what they think the white man has done to them. I am a white man and I have never in my life done anything vile to any black man or any other race. I have not blamed any race of people for my problems in life. I am so thankful that this militant Jeremiah Wright spoke out like this because it tell us exactly who he is and who Obama is. I have gone to church for 38 years and not one time has any of my pastors made any racist commnets at all. I mean at all. Shame on you Obama and Wright for trying to hide this side you your character from the American people.

Just 6 comments:
1-If a white person spoke like Rev.(?) Wright he would be arrested for hate crimes.
2-Egyptians, Babalonians, Romans, Chineese, Mongolians, Greeks, Germans (huns), Africans, Americans, that is "Everybody" at some time owned slaves. We have all had ancestors that owned slaves and were slaves. Get over it, I have the National Geographic channel on tv, Africans are still living in mud huts in Africa. I will submit that the lucky ones came to America. I dont see a whole bunch of people trying to leave the usa. Is the cup half full or half enpty?
3-If Obama went to that church for 20 years, give me a break, if he did not know, he is not perceptive enough to lead the usa. Not to mention he called Rev.(?) Wright his mentor.
4-If a lot of black folks actually feel this way then we have a real problem looming in this country.
5-Throughout history when ex-slaves took over power they never acted kindly towards the former slave owners. In fact retrubution was usually swift and violent.
6-Somehow all this time I thought that Jesus was Jewish.

Deann: So you want the war to end. As Hillary or Obama wants, FAST. Great. You just better build your bomb shelter. Too bad theres no vacine for radiation poisoning.
We'll just walk and sing throught the flowers. Get a life! Iraq will be taken over by Osama and his haters, and their coming here. Guess what THERE ALREADY HERE. Its going to get worse. If you have no life Deann, all the money in the world will do you no good! You'll be pushing up daisys. You better worry first about the safety of our country rather than your pocketbook. Hard to spend money when your dead DEANN!

I find it impossible to attend a church for 20 years if you don't believe in its teachings. This church teaches hatred. We should have all realized when Oprah backed OBAMA that he was a racist only looking out for black America. If a white candidates preacher,minister or pastor would have made any racial comments about black Americans so blatantly full of hatred , well that candidate would have been tried and convicted by Rev. Al Sharpton and the whole black community. Racism goes both ways ... I am tired of the double standard in America. America is definitely ready for a black president, just not this black man. America is also ready for a woman president, and I do believe this is the woman. GO HILLARY!!!

Just another few thoughts now that I have read some of the comments listed... If all you who are against Obama now were really for him before, what were you wishing he could do?.. Do we not all live in a country where racism has been a fact for years.... is this a new thought to you people? Where have you all been hiding your heads... ANd if you listen to that pastor, if you hear his words... not just the tone of his voice. dont you think you will hear him saying that it is time for it to stop....... That is what I hear Obama saying.. That he wants to make us one nation...... one ....not a black one or a white one..... just one....... you must all live in some sort of glass house where you will die one day..... ANd I wonder if God will be happy with all the things you have done to improve your race.. or your country..... To the woman who sais she is 54 yrs old and never heard her pastor speak of any of the things that this pastor spoke of .... where in the heck does she go to church... If your pastor is not preaching of what is going on in this world and about the sickness of this country as compared to what God wants it to be then your pastor is not serving you right.... He is just floating thru .... And what does he speak about.. Have you never read in the Bible where God says he will punish those who hate.... those who bring false witness against others... those who commit adultery..... those who kill babies....... PLEASE!!!!! Our country spends more dollars protecting the lives of dogs and cats and dolphins and whales then they spend on defending the lives of the unborn..... Our country (President Clinton hisself signed into our lives) the ability for a doctor to suck the brain tissue out of an unborn child in the name of research...... and you want to talk about sick...... That is as far from a country that serves God as we can get.... Jesus said suffer the little children to come unto me.. and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God..... How many of you Good Christian folks have supported the Clintons in their endeavor to Support Brainstem research........ PLEASE...... lets get real...... This pastor has put it out there on the line.... he has spoke the truth of this country....... and you want to blame Obama for what?...... he did not write that mans sermon..... he did not sign him into office... and as far as I am concerned..... if you did not hear the entire sermon, you are taking it out of context...... and we all know what that does to the Bible....... You can make the Bible say we should kill babies to advance the lives of people with Parkinsons disease..... PLease....... what is wrong with America is the media...... the media has blown this into something it should never have been...... I wonder what churches they attend.... Do they attend the same church that Hillary attends...... she and her husband ordered the deaths of infants 9 months of age in the mothers womb in the name of research..... maybe you should all go to that church... and hear what that pastor has to say about children........ GET A LIFE... God bless Obama..... and I hope he gets past this racial war that the media has begun..... !!!!

Can't wait until Obama's dose tomorrow of political cover his ass speech.

Unless he admits his true understanding and involvement in a congregation that teaches hating your country and other American's and offers some valid reason of why he would be involved ....OBAMA's toast.

Stay on this story....I believe there is more here than has YET come to light.

Why should Obama be responsible for what Rev. Wright says? ARE YOU JOKING? HE HAS NAMED REV. WRIGHT AS HIS TEACHER - MENTOR - EVEN SAID THAT WRIGHT WAS LIKE AN UNCLE TO HIM. OBAMA HAS BEEN A MEMBER OF THIS AMERICA HATING CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS. REV. WRIGHT HAS BEEN ADVISING AND PROMOTING OBAMA AS WELL AS PROMOTING ANTI-WHITE - ANTI-SEMETIC AND ANTI-AMERICAN HATRED. THIS SITUATION IS MORE SERIOUS THAN THE MEDIA IS CONVEYING. OBAMA HUSSEIN OSAMA CANNOT BE PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY. HE JUST CANNOT BE.

Corrine....digin one up from the 60's....Right On!!!!!!

Reverand Wright said in his sermon that Barrack was a poor black boy brought up in a single parent home. Would that be by his white mother and white grandparents? To vote for Obama now would be to endorce the reverand. Marlene, Las Vegas, NV

I think some people are being very anti-intellectuals when it comes to this Mr. Wright matter. At some point we have to be accountable for our own actions and stop blaming someone else for the actions of others. I don't think his comments were appropriate but i will not blame Mr. Obama for the action of his minister. i can say preachers are very influential people in our lives almost like a parental figure, but i can boldly say that both my parents have done and said things that i didn't agree with. If we are blaming Mr. Obama for his pastor's comments and want to announce him as a racist; then let's go ahead and say that since Bill has committed adultury the Clinton's are both adulturers if we want to be that ignorant about the situation. COME ON PEOPLE LETS MOVE BEYOND COLOR!
(Remembering is good if you don't let it be the fear in you)

I always felt like we did not know the real Obama and did not plan to vote for him. I am white and race is not the issue with me. I would have voted for Colin Powell had he chosen to run. Obama came on too fast, used the word change and people fell for it. He never has said what his change plans were. He just kept repeating the same things we all know, the economy, the war, schools, jobs, etc. Never said how to change all this. This has been around for a year and I believe the Obama people knew it was out there. They were just hoping it would be kept quiet until the election and then nothing could be done about it. I thank the news media for bringing this to light. I noticed four different outfits on Preacher Wright, yet all is mentioned are two sermons. I cannot imagine going the same church for 20 years, being very friendly with your mentor and not knowing what he stood for. That is unbelievable. I hope this is the end of the Obama reign and we can get on with Hillary as our president. She can do no worse than the men have done, but I think she will do better than the men.

There is an old Mexican proverb that says ,“Show me who your friends are and I will show you who you are.” We have seen Sen. Obama’s friends and now we have seen who he is. I am curious why Sen. Obama always refers to himself as “black.” I have never heard him refer to himself as “white” even though he is half and half. Why is that? Is he seeking political gain from being black? Is Geraldine Ferroro correct? I have switched my vote to Hillary Clinton and if Obama wins the election, I will vote for McCain even though I have never voted for a Republican.

#400 - Do you know why? Because he gave us free will. We use poisons on our food, we feed animals antibiotics and growth hormones, we overmedicate, we overdrink, we overeat. He lets us make our own choices. Boy, don't we just do a good job! War, well I hate war. But it will be here till the Lord takes some of us home. There are those who want us dead. I laugh when I think of Borack walking into Osamas cave trying to reason with a lunatic. You CAN'T REASON WITH LUNATICS PEOPLE. I wish it was so simple. Just aint going to happen my friends. We need someone tough in office because if we don't we're going to be hit and it will be worse than 9/11. Its going to happen, just a matter of when and who is at the helm people. Better star praying HARD>

Rev. Jeremia Wright's subversive behavior is TREASON! He hides malicious intent under the guise of goodness. "Beware of False Profits which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" Mathew 7:15

how can you bless obama when he sat and listened to a preacher dam america,and show racisim lmao you tell me after 2) years he hasnt herd this man say anything about these things ,get real_!

I think the majority of the people voting on this message is indicative of the bias unfair and unbalanced Fox "News" leadership. Talk about affiliation and influence. This is good! Let the venom spew from your poisened fingers. Keep it coming guys then ask the black church why they are sometimes angry!!!

Fox "News" is no different than the pastor at trinity church!!! Anger, hateful, spiteful, divisive, ... Four years ago they did the same things and we ended up with Bush. They played with your emotions and you took the bait!

Everyone is focusing on Obama's statement that he wasn't in the church pew on the day or days when Rev. Wright made those specific comments that have been reported. FORGET THAT! That statement attempts to speak to the larger question of whether Obama was aware of his pastor's controversial political tendancies, and attempts to answer that question "NO". I'm sorry, but one doesn't belong to any pastor's congregation, and especially THIS outspoken pastor's congregation, for TWENTY YEARS without learning about the pastor's political opinions, controversial or otherwise. And with regards to this particular pastor, one does not CHOOSE to remain in his congregation for TWENTY YEARS unless he agrees with the messages the pastor is delivering from his pulpit on Sunday mornings.

And even if we focus on these specific soundbites that have been repeated many times in recent days, Obama's claim of ignorance of them still reeks of disingenuousness when you consider the fact that these particular sermons have been publicly available through the church, as the media has readily obtained access to them. Senator Obama is a candidate for President, and he has a campaign staff that, among other things, is supposed to be looking out for Obama's best interests by watching out for things such as this that could foreseeably cause problems and heading them off BEFORE they become issues. Presumably, that would mean BEFORE Senator Obama invited Rev. Wright to be a member of his campaign's spiritual advisory committee, a position the retired pastor held until just this weekend, after the controversy broke. If Obama would have us believe that he TRULY WAS UNAWARE of these specific remarks of Rev. Wright, remarks he made from the pulpit and which were recorded and made available to anyone who wanted them, then that would mean one of two things: either this candidate for the nation's highest elected office is incredibly uninformed on issues that should be important to him, or his campaign staff is not doing the job they are being paid to do. NEITHER speaks well for Senator Obama.

The only thing that makes sense is that Senator Obama made a serious political miscalculation by associating himself politically with a man for whom he undoubtedly has great respect and admiration, despite the outrageous political views that he has regularly voiced from his pulpit, hoping that few people would notice or pay serious attention to a retired pastor from an obscure Chicago church. Of course Obama was politically obliged to disavow Rev. Wright's strongly worded anti-American views, now that they have been widely publicized. But Obama must have underestimated the general population's reaction to this controversial pastor and his sermons. Or perhaps he DID NOT underestimate it, which may be one reason why we know so little of substance about Obama's political viewpoints or his plan for America's future - apart from the standard liberal Democrat mantra. But Americans are learning more about him now, and it appears that the more we learn, the more problems Obama faces in his quest for the White House.

Obama's credibility has been damaged and in my opinion beyond repair. Between Senator Obama's wife's recent remarks and his pastor's history of preaching hatred and their close relationship for 20 years I would not believe one word that Obama says to try and control the damage already brought upon him. I would feel that whatever he says tomorrow in his press conference would simply be political damage control and nothing more. I am beginning to really believe that there is more to this man's agenda then we the public have seen and I fear what lies ahead if he becomes our president.

FOX NEWS IS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!

I get tired of hearing about how we have been repressed for 400 years, and it’s still happening today. The only people holding them down is the highly thought of political party that they associate themselves too, the Democratic Party. The Dem’s have big government telling everyone that the poor people don’t know how to live right, and don’t know how to support themselves. The government knows best, and just let me give you this, (money and programs), so you never learn to do for yourselves. You stay where you are, and I’ll stay where I am. Until they learn to support themselves they will never learn to be civil and, be a positive contributor of this country. When they do this, they will learn the importance of pride, and loyalty to this country or their country if they so choose. The naming of their race as Afro-American can only divide, and does not unify this country. If the identification of a Afro race stays, and not the human race we will never be together as a country. I know that slavery was wrong, and I would never do anything like that, and I would not allow it to go on without a fight to death against it. I just don’t know when I may stop paying for something I nor any of my mediate family, had anything to do with. The most that Obama can do is to fade into the sea he has sowed for himself. To say that he was not there when these things were said is a flat out lie. The pastor did not just all the sudden start rebelling in the ranting and ravings of a races bigot. If he only wants to help the black people then so be it just say it. I would have more respect for him for that than to sit there, and lie to us all. We would at least know where he would be come election day. At home with his black friends in Chicago going to the same church listening to the same sermons he has been listening to for 20 years. I believe this will be the straw that broke the camels back no pun attended (camel jockey) like the Husan his mama rode. A transcendor of all races is BS just like his pastor said. What a way a pastor of the good ole ways should talk. If he was the Christian that Obama, and all of his lackeys say, he would not be this way.

Racism definitely exists today. The question is who or what is the root cause TODAY, not in the past. I do not see white people supporting the need for a Miss White USA Pagent, a White College Education Fund, the White Hollywood Award Show, the White Caucuss in DC, White History Month, and the list goes on. Why? The African-American community would not stand for it --- so why are they doing it? If you truly want equality, all of these type of clubs or events must be removed from society. We are suppose to be one nation. With the younger generation, the African-American community needs to rethink where it is going with all of this. If the shoe was on the other foot and this would have been Hillary's or McCain's 20+ year pastor, the African-American community would accept nothing but the person in question dropping out of the race for President. If you want racism as a whole to disappear, the rules of the game have to be the same for everyone. If we want to live and work together, we as a nation have to one day eliminate all special rules and regulations that favor one race over another no matter what the situation (ie: college admissions, jobs, construction contracts, etc...). Listening to all the interviews on the various talk shoes, African-Americans attempting to explain that Black churches often bring up the past oppression that African-Americans have had to endure (ie: slavery, hate crimes in the 60s). Why? Are you wanting to make sure that all the young people learn to hate the white people for something they had nothing to do with? If you are truly a Christian, I thought the greatest gift a Christian could give anyone was forgiveness? If you constantly live in the past, you will never get to where you want to be because you will never be able to get past the hatred.

Jarvis, get real. I am a white man. I have done nothing to you or to any black man. You are really ignorant to expect the contemporary white man to apologize for slavery. Remember, there was as much white slave trade as black slave trade. Why is this never talked about by the black man. It seems that people like you give black people a bad name by crying, "Woe is me, I am but a poor black man." Michele Obama should be asked to move to another country one that she CAN be proud of.

#391 - Just wanted to let you know that slavery no longer exists. Just to inform you blacks made blacks slaves. White men fought to free them and shed a lot of blood!
Get over the slavery thing. We've all gone through lots of horrible things. No one in this day and age has experienced slavery. What about all of the Jews Hitler killed and mutiliated. I don't hear them out whining and crying. God Bless Them! They remember but I don't hear all kinds of hate and racism from them. NEVER EVER! I'm a German, they should hate me too.
I'm sick of hearing about the past. Its 2008, its a new day. Live in the past and you'll fill your heart with hate and anger and thats why your heart is black.
What do you think, life is easy for everyone but Black Americans.

OBAMA CANNOT BEAT MCCAIN NOW. NO WAY. HE IS DONE AND SO ARE THE DEMOCRATS IF THEY NOMINATE THIS RADICAL CANDIDATE FOR THEIR PARTY.

I believe Mr. Obama knows and has known full well of Rev.Wright's position and has intellectually basked in them for 20 years. His poor judgement comes out of the hypnotic "dances" of Hate that Rev.Wright has been spinning all this time. (And that goes for everyone else of like-mind in that "church" .. note a small "c" for church!) MARTIN LUTHER KING who I personally hold as a Modern-Day Founding Father ...would spin in Agony in his grave to see where the present day Black leadership is "leading" ! I believe Mr.Obama is NOT being honest here , But rather has been "Stunned" by the support and acceptance of White America ... The primary "ONUS" of racism is no longer with White America ...but with Black Leadership. YES .. JUDGEMENT IS 'KEY' HERE ! .... It is the easy way to sit back and hear and accept that another "group" of people is responsible for how you live and no amount of applauding and back-patting of an Errant Leader is going to make it true. MLK would have urged strongly to individually work to create one's own experience ! I can only end with my favorite Quote ... If You Think You Can...OR ... You Think You Can't ... You're RIGHT !..Henry Ford

Bryan: I just can't take those gloves off. THe german fighter in me i guess. Your right, some of these people are IDIOTS. I'd have better luck explaining this to my Border Collie, of course she's pretty smart! She sits, stays, understands words, BUT DOESN"T GET DOWN AND DIRTY!!!

Rev. Wright's remarks are not "racist" (he doesn't think that blacks are superior to whites), he preaches "race hatred". It is eye-opening that an organization that calls itself a "church" can "warp" the minds of so many people with untruths and succeed. How many other black churches around the country preach this white hatred and hatred of their country? Any white person pointing out that a large percentage of the African American population seems to have a propensity for believing absurd notions (OJ's innocence, Bush blew up the New Orleans levies, Aids and Crack Cocaine created by the US Government, Bush knew about 911 before it happened and/or had explosive charges placed in the Towers) is automatically labeled a "racist". What is interesting here is that even Hillary was disparaged by the Rev. White Democrats have long taken the black vote for granted. Appear in a black church on Sunday, clap your hands to the gospel music (off-beat), talk about how oppressive the Republicans are, and you'll get their vote. Now, with a black candidate in the race, blacks are quick to turn against their traditional white Democrat leadership. They are "identity voting" for Obama simply because he's black regardless of checking out his background, beliefs, record, or plans. (whites are guilty of the same "identity voting" also, Fundamentalists voting for Huckaby). What ever happened to the "informed" electorate that Jefferson said we needed for a healthy democracy? College students "educated" by liberal professors and Rev Wright-type congregations around the country that believe the government invented AIDS and Crack to kill African Americans form Obama's base. If Obama weren't in the race, all of these voters would be firmly behind Clinton. Clearly, these two groups are not "informed"! Yet, with our liberal media, how could anyone be expected to learn the truth? Activist socialist politicians speaking in vague, idealistic language supported by a majority of uninformed voters is a recipe for government tyranny.

Most Americans are in denial about some truth about their country, meaning things that are under the rug and that is why it is hard to dijest words like what the Pastor said. How about finding out the truth about some of these statements like educating one self about the political power of this country. They were harsh words, yes, but if one is educated not neccessary college level but on the political side of the USA then one will understand and accept that there is probably some truth to some of these words. All politicians have their own personal dirt, it is hard to find personal dirt for Obama so that is why the media is playing the 2 sec specch over and over. USA is a beautiful place but we must also remember it is not perfect either, there is alot of dirt under the rug, many would like to speak out but does not have the guts to do so, fear of back lash. We all know one thing it will be 4 times harder for a black person to be President of America, your Pastor or Doctor etc. does not determine the you.

I love my Pastor and have been good friends with him and the Pastor where we lived before we moved to Tampa twenty years ago. However, if either of them had spat out the kind of divisive commentary that Rev. Wright has, I would have tried to reason with them. If they wouldn't change their stand, even though we feel like they are family, we would have had no options other than to leave the church. I couldn't have condoned racism and bigotry by remaining in the congregation.

A billboard I once read stated "Those who live in the past, have no future". That greatly impacted me as total truth. By continually talking about the past and slavery, hate and resentment is stirred. I have American Indian in my heritage. I never give a thought to those of old, who "stole our land". Those responsible for these atrocities, like the slave traders are long dead and gone. What is the point? Why should those after them be held accountable for deeds they haven't committed? No one is trying to enslave anyone now. We need to love one another, forgiving each other, as Christ taught. Never did He say we should hang on to grievances or wallow in self pity.

I believe that Mr. Obama's disclaimer is insincere. It seems he will say anything until he has obtained the office of President; what a shame.

I am white, but have been a proponant of the Black race since a child. I would love to have the option to vote for a black person if there was somone I could trust and who shared my values; who wanted to unite as one.

Yes, there are still some who have hatred of the African American; very unfortunate! But so many, many Whites I know, would love nothing more than to be a truly "united" country, each man helping his neighbor become all they can be. and in turn, being helped the same. If there weren't so many people like the reverend, there would be more people who would want to unite. The Black race needs to take ownership for some of this racism and rise above the past; giving America a reason to want to propel them! They need to stop thinking Whites should do everything, and meet us half way. What is it with black pastors? People like Jesse Jackson and Rev Wright really should read their Bibles before calling themselves reverand. There is nothing reverent about spreading bitterness. Most of Jesus's ministry was teaching about love and forgiveness. I ask, WHERE IS THE LOVE?

Yes thank you Fox finally got it even .and what a shocker lol.now lets hear him talk about all this change he claims.change and why didnt it come out sooner.now al sharpton isnt racist either lol come on,us whites bend over to make it a fair race and we get dirt kicked in our faces

Greta,

I do watch your program, you have the same lawyers on your show and do disagree with them all the time. Why shouldn't Sen. Obama disagree with Rev. Wright. I think he might have been a little embarassed because he dosen't attend church that often. The Clinton's have a cross to bear and what about Mc Cain Rev. he's down on gay people, lets talk about Mc Cain and his church. Remember equilty? All need to have equal time. Don't forget "I DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN". The media need to leave Sen. Obama alone. He is a J F Kennedy in color. His plan for america is a good plan, Healthcare, Iraq war, taxes, education, jobs, housing and social security. I* beleive he wants change and he will help the american people to get just that, change for a better america.

How can loving, caring parents bring their children to this church to hear this venom? No wonder children grow up to hate and kill others. They've been carefully taught hatred and self-pity at church. Rev. Wright is not a preacher, he is an entertainer, along the lines of a rap artist.

Hey Bryan: Do you still have that picture of Wright humping the altar imitating Clinton and Monica "Ridin Dirty". I bet obama was at THAT sermon. Wonder what he was doing??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
SEEMS LIKE NETTIE THINKS THATS AOK THOUGH. HOW PROUD SHE WOULD BE TO TAKE HER KIDS OR GRAND KIDS TO THAT CHURCH. THAN HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO HAS BEEN A MEMBER FOR 20 YEARS. HOW PROUD WE ALL WOULD BE. spit, puke, vomit

I don't believe( "BARACK H. OBAMA") did'nt know what this "lunatic,maniac, crazy " pastor " is ranting for twenty years... He is "LYING" RAT and he is "DONE/CAPOT......
This lunatic pastor want revenge. He is not satisfied being free from slavery.
He should blame his "african chieftains" who hunted/ sold them to the "European Immigrants" of this country.

Thanks Fox News for having the fortitude to report the truth. CNN has tried to hide all of the treasonous speeches not sermons of Jeremiah Wright. The country should look into what motive CNN has to not report the facts and the truth. It is obvious that they are trying to elect Obama. Why? They don't give Hiliary or McCain any respect or any positive time at all. Thanks Fox News for being this country's honest, fair and balanced news station. I was always a CNN fan until this campaign began and I slowly became aware of the extreme prejudice that CNN perpetuates.

Connie, you are a wise person imho... who gives sage posts!

As far as I am concerned Barack Obama has put the last nail in his coffin when he lied to the American people saying that he never heard this stuff or was aware of it ! What comes to my mind is a picture of newly elected President Obama being told of a terrorist attack. He trys to calm the citizens of our country and then calls his spiritual advisor Rev Wright who appears with him on TV and sings" God Damn America, land that I hate....." I could never trust him to have our best interests at heart.

Obama is a hypocrite. He campaigns on unity and embraces hate and divisiveness. He is the most dangerous of all politicians. Black liberation theology has no more place in today’s society than white separation theology does. I am very troubled by the fact that Obama chose to indoctrinate his daughters with hate and vengeance toward America and whites. Obama should immediately withdraw from the campaign.

You are judged by the company you keep. Senator Obama has been a member of this church for 20 years. He got married by that pastor, his daughters baptized by him. With so many wonderful churches available, why did he select one headed by such a racist pastor?
As a white female, I now realize the Barak Obama is a fine presidential candidate for African-Americans but regrettably he is no longer a viable candidate for somebody like me.

Eric - oh golly gee - what is your problem - let me guess - Fox produced a person, made him look like Wright, dressed him in Wrights clothes, held a gun to his head, and made him hump an alter and spew racist comments and damm America. Thanks for the info. I thought that was the real thing. I also guess that Obama never attended that church for 20 years, married there, baptised kids there, mentored there, blah blah blah. I wish there was a pill to give you that would make you accept the truth. Your like Wright stating that the USA injected Blacks with the aids virus. I need a drink Bryan !!!

All this ranting & raving about Obama & his Spiritual Advisor. Does everyone agree with everything they hear when their ministers speak? It is about bringing down Obama. Sean Hannity boasts about being the first to break this news. Tell me did the Minister make a false statement? Everything or practically everythinghe said is true. I guess when he repeated it loud and clear, it did not sound too nice, but they are facts. The only questionable statement is about the Aids genocide bit. Now look, Hillary would prefer McCain to win than for Obama to get the opportunity to be President. She said she & McCain would bring experience while Obama only has a speech to bring to the White House. Yet silly blacks thinks she cares about them. They stand next to her grinning & looking like real fools. Anyone agrees with me there? But these are my opinions NOT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY's. Think you can condemn me for having these opinions? The Jews (I'm not antisemic, ok?) were not persecuted here in NY nor in America for that matter, yet their slogan is "never again" as soon as someone questions or says anything they do not like; but let a black person cry racism, something that is real here in America, the Jews, along with other well-to-do blacks, would call him/her "a trouble maker". I am not a racist, ok! Now, I am a very light skin black person, I have been mistaken for Ecuadorian, Puerto Rican, Brazillian, even East Indian, everything other than who I am. So I have been privied to a lot of hidden feelings by others; and there is a hell of a lot of racial prejudice in this country. Nothing must not be said or done publicly, just keep it subtle.
Let me read all the nonsense you al have to say. Obama should not make any statement to clarify a anything. Just let the jackasses bray.

#433 - McCain does not belong to hagee's church!!!!!!!!!!!! Hagee just endorsed him. I need a martini!

I am a white republican. I like Obama. This tawdry episode hasn't changed my opinion. Some person from Fox News, probably anti-Obama, evidently took the initiative to wade through perhaps a thousand hours of sermons and cherry picked a few juicy bits lasting a minute or so, totally out of context with the rest of the sermon. As a black minister said on O'Reilly tonight, you can prove any point you want by quoting the Bible. The only thing this proves to me is how corrupt an influence religion has become in politics. I am sure that the religious right is wringing their hands with glee over this one. Fox News broke this story and is doing its best to fan the flames. Fair and balance be damned.

#438 Color Blind - I'm dumb - am I being complimented or burned at the stake?

I am so happy to know that most people can now see what I have known all along about Barack Obama. Pastor Wright just did the American people a HUGE favor! Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle are most definetly RACIST! Thank God for this revelation. Hopefully, people will pay attention and not vote for this racist jerk. Maybe there's hope for America...afterall!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

Fox News has done well as a mouth piece for the Republican party. Greta, Hannity, Wallace, OReilly etc have spent way too much time repeating and re-repeating Wright's words, branding them as racists and anti-american. Fox 's slogan should be "We report, we decide"

Wright's statements may be extreme, overeaching, provacative, thought provoking, erroneous in some instances, but how are they racist and anti-american? Will not God and has not God in fact put a curse, condemned and scattered nations and individuals who continuously practice injustice and are ungodly? Every student of the Bible know that God punishes & rebukes those he loves when they fall out of line. God's blessing on this nation is obvious. Won't He put a curse on her if she continuously falls out of line?

Peter Peter Peter - You obviously don't attend Church. It doesn't matter if its ONE sermon. When your a Christian you don't attend, believe in, contribute to hate, anti-American views, racism extra. Do you know that even a little sin is the same as a huge one. Like I said b4, its all made up, everyones against Obama, we hate blacks, blah blah blah. I don't care who you vote for. Its just your stupid comment that makes me want to puke. I'm sure they spent, weeks, months and years just trying to down a black guy. Give Me A Break. Isn't it your bedtime?

I am sick of seeing Al Sharpten on Fox News. Why do you give him so much air time. He, too, is a militant and extremely prejudice man. Can't you tell that everything he says is crying prejudice. He has an angry chip on his shoulder. He says he hasn't come out and backed any candidate. He is a liar. He by all that he says in the interviews on Fox News is extremely defensive about only Obama. I am sick of all this talk of prejudice and how horrible white men are to the blacks. I am an honest black man but I am hear to tell you that no white man has ever shown me prejudice. My best friend is a white man. It is time we grow up and stop leaning on this slavery crutch. That isn't something any of my generation or the generation before me has experienced. WE nee to stand up like men and stop crying foul all the time. I am a black man who was going to vote for Obama but now I am going to vote for HIllary.

Rev. Wright has been ousted as the racist ignoramus his is, not the alleged highly educated, degreed military man who speaks several languages. He and the Obama's know exactly what they are doing. They played on the guilt’s of White race, the emotions of the Blacks and the ignorance of America's voting young.

These people are racist, not unlike the KKK. Replace the white sheets with speeches. The Wrights and Obama's breed racism and have been caught. The Black race has had to endure the backlash of these types of people from slavery to the present. People like the Obama’s and Wrights keep racial tensions alive. I don't like racist or those who promulgate it no matter what the creed, color, religion, sex or speech of the breeder.

Why is this man still being considered as our leader? He's racist, a liar and got caught being so--Do we need more proof?? REALLY! What? Why? Do we really mean to give Obama veto power!

I don't care if Obama wasn't present for all of these speeches or if Rev. Wright made thousands of speeches that were NOT inflammatory. It's the ONE speech that is inflammatory that counts and having the judgment and fortitude to know the difference to remove yourself and your young impressionable children away from such filth and racism. You don't make him a longstanding integral part of your immediate family and political association.

The Democratic Party needs to remove him as a candidate. This is my party, so far. I want Barack and Michelle out of my party. I do not want to be affiliated with this kind of hatred!! I want them out of my party. I am a 40-yrs of age black, female registered voter.

To the Democratic Party leaders, Hillary Clinton (and President Bill Clinton) is not a racist!

To the media, please stop referring to Rev. Wright as Obama’s former pastor when he just retired two weeks ago in anticipation of this story. He is still Obama’s pastor, advisor and mentor. He retired from the church, not Obama.

There is a healthy way to discuss racial divide. This is not it.

#443 Reilly - Its just that you guys LOVE using the race card whenever something doesn't go your way. Judge Judy fired someone on her crew after 8 years. Now he's suing because "its racism". WE ARE SICK OF IT! We hear it from Jackson, Sharpton and now Wright. You don't hear Juan Williams talking like a fool. He's intelligent and says it like it is. Does he use his race NO! But than he's an intelligent guy and most of us value what he says. He's not either sided - just EVEN sided.
Let me inform you since you may NOT attend Church. We usually just sing and listen. YES LISTEN! IF I don't like what my preacher is preacher I'd be walking out the door. Sounds like a hit tune Bryan!!! Are you out there - I need a friend!!
A 5 year old could figure this out, but some of you can't.
Your racist yourself - I can tell by your stupid comment about blacks standing next to hillary grinning as if they'd vote for her.
Your whats wrong with the USA. I wish some of you would go back to the country you came from. If You hate it here so much and think your so persecuted feel free to leave. I'll drive you to the airport.

Is someone using my name out there #450 or you another Corrine. That is not this Corrines post for sure

We all pick the people who we choose to associate with in life, and people with similar views tend to hang together for 20 years. Just as the good reverend preached about how Bill Clinton "did the nasty" to the blacks who voted for him the same way he did it to Monica, he has done the same thing to Obama with his insane diatribe. I do give Pastor Wright credit though for having the intellect to FINALLY see that white Democrats could care less about black people and have just taken thier vote for granted for decades while delivering NOTHING to make thier lives better. I seem to recall the Democrats promising to lower the "outrageous" gas prices when they were a dollar+ lower than they are today before they swept to power. Who would have thought 3 years ago are now "The good ole days"?

#450 your a refreshing touch of spring. not because of your vote because you take responsibility as we all should. Who cares what color we are, its how we lead our life that counts. If people are racist #450 their idiots. Turn up your nose and walk away, with dignity. I'm white but experienced some types of the same thing throughout my life. Its bothered me too, but as we get older, hopefully wiser, we see who the real fools are.

This is what it took to expose this farse of Obama.. Why did it take this long to expose his true colors.. Now people want to know what this great man is truly about??? Please....Change alright..He is DONE!!! Bye-Bye Obama!!!

Reverse Racism! What must the white person do to be forgiven for their sins and the sins of their fathers. I thought that was what Jesus died for. I didn't even have any family here durring the time of slavery. The one side was trying to survive as pesants in Ireland and the other side was trying to leave what was becoming a very bad situation in Germany and Russia. The heck with it all, make Greta president and she can have various "guest" vice presidents. Racism will never go away as long as children are being taught to hate as their parents hate. That goes for Jews and Arabs, Chinese, Japanese etc,

Give me a break..This is the United States of America. When are we going to demand Obama resign from both the senate and the Presidential Election. There is NO WAY you can represent the United States on day one when after 20 years you don't even know what the pastor said. No speech will dismiss this issue...its over Obama pull the plug.

There are so many religions in this country. We are so blessed to be abe to worship in peace . People need to appreciate what we have and where we are today. Most of our ancesters fought for this freedom. Whatever happened to, count your blessings, forgetting those things in the past and pressing on to the prize, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and also mentioned in the Bible-- Gal. 5: by their fruits you will know them(good or evil?) Mt. 6:12 and Mt. 18: 21-35 Jesus told Peter to forgive his brother 70 times 7 , because our heavenly Father will forgive us -. We will be forgiven as we forgive - remember the Lord's Prayer? mr. pastor wright- Jesus did not approve of prejudice on any level -prejudice from arrogant religious leaders is what killed Jesus. My Jesus said - forgive them-Father- they don't know what they are doing---as they were killing him. He took all our dirty sins upon him. Hate is the opposite of Christ like. God is a serious God. Get serious and repent of your arrogant self serving pride. This life is too short to dwell on everything negative- Philippians 4:8&9 -Whatever things are true, pure,just, honest, lovely, of good report etc... think on these things---what you have seen in me do-- and the God of peace shall be with you. May God always Bless( our Home) The U.S.A. A-MEN

Obama is LYING.
Al-taqiyya is part of his growing up life!
http://www.hauns.com/~DCQu4E5g/koran5.html
and his fakey FLAKY Pastor
who is a TARE (false Wheat) in Wolves Clothing
has taught him to perfect the Muslim teaching of
lying to non-Muslims.

I find it hard to believe that anyone could go to a church for over 20 years and not know the teaching of the pastor and not agree with him but continue to attend that church. Who does Obama think he is fooling?
Thanks Fox news for being fair and balanced and reporting the truth as it is.

Are you people stupid or just ignorant.... how many of you have children you raised in your home and you thought you raised them right. and now as they are grown are living their life and doing things against what you would have wanted them to do?... We are not and should never be judged by what or with whom we keep company...... And I am sure that in the church that I attend there are people of all colors who are racist... but I am sure that I am not a racist by any way shape or form.... I am sure that anyone who can say that because one of my best friends is gay, i must be gay as well, they are wrong. I do not believe God is for gay people.. i do not believe that Mr Wright said to hate America... he said to damn the things that America does that are wrong.. Listen to what he is saying... not to the tone of it..... is it right for a president to stand in front of a nation and say"i did not have sex with that woman"... that a blow job is not sex.... give me a break.... do you people think that because one man says something that all men believe it.... do you think that because one woman has sex with 100 men and charges for it that all women do it...... Did you vote for Clinton..... then you voted to kill babies .... did you vote for Bush..... then you voted for the war....... did you elect to support Obama? ... then you should know that he wants to eliminate the hatred in this country....... you are all here saying that he stands for that....... please... he cannot be held accountable for the things that every person that he associates with say..... I believe we would all need to hear the entire sermon to make any kind of a real judgement on that pastor.... I believe that man says what is really going on in this country..... and i believe that all who hear only hatred in those sermons have had their heads stuck in the dirt for so long they are afraid to lift them up and look at the sun........ so keep them there..... and vote in Hillary...... she already has shown us what she will do....... do all of you have jobs.... do all of you have insurance...... well she had 8 years to give it to you..... so you must right????, hahaha joke is on you....... or go ahead and vote in Mcclain..... what do you think he will do for us.... the same as Mr Bush.???.... Get a brain..... how much more can this country take of the stupid political BS that has been going on for years..... can you not see that this is media driven... funny how it has come out all of a sudden when MS CLintons campaign has begun to loose ground...... she can say all she wants that she has nothing to do with it... she can pretend she does not.... but please are we all that ignorant..... I hope not....... Obama is and will be the best choice.... buy his books and find out about what the real man stands for.... and to the stupid guy in #414 you surely are a white man.... if a black man has only 1/4 black in him this nation will always keep him a black man... if only because his skin is tan...... how ignorant to think he could begin to pass his self off as a white man..... would you buy that..... obviously you would not. A man should be proud of his parents.... and yet he has no choice in the color of his skin..... what nasty things would you say about him if he said he was white?...... i can only imagine. And last ....... you people need to listen to your responses to the Reverands sermon..... In it he speaks of how America is going.. And if you read these comments from all these people you will certainly know that he is right on with his comments.... There is and sadly will always be racism in this country... Obama wants to try to breach that gap.. but the media has just put the end to that .. and this blog is proof.... and I think that is sad.... because I truly had hope that maybe Obama could have done something.... he is a man that wants to help get this country online... and he is the only one of the three that probably could have done it.... SHame on you media!!

walk....quack....yep, it's a duck. it sure would have been nice if america had not been afraid to put obama through the wringer first, before 40+ states had already held their primaries and caucuses. but everyone played footsie with obama because no journalist or network wanted to be first and get called racist. sure, as a result, we almost got sold a bill of goods, but at least now we're seeing the former media darling with the big smile for what he's worth. i bet there's way more states than michigan and florida which want do-overs!!

OBAMA CANNOT BEAT MCCAIN NOW. HE IS UNELECTABLE AND THE SUPERDELEGATES NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

Well as far as I'm concern if Obama get's the nomination I would never vote for him. If the news media wants to paint this man as someone to untie this country, I can give the news a hell alot better then you. Why don't you start by reporting the news, like when you jump on Hillary at every turn. If this had a been happening to Hillary, you would have tar and feather her and gave her a one-way ticket out of the country. Do you guys have any idea how to report the news honesty, I doubt it. I will say this God Bless America and to hell with Rev. Wright & Qbama. You have created most of this situtation for the country by giving Obama a free pass on anything he does wrong.

Okay...I've given this a lot of thought...trying to figure out why this upsets me so much. I'm white. I have and have had some dear friends who are black. One of my very best friends in high school was/is black. We were as much alike as we were different. We've gone our separate ways since, but I still think of her often and with much love and respect. Rev. Wright's comments, his congregation's reaction and cheers and Obama's willful association make me angry and absolutely disgust me because for so long white Americans (maybe not all, but all I know) have been willfully and carefully trying to offer proper respect to our fellow black Americans--our friends, our neighbors and our co-workers. We don't know their tribulations, but we have tried hard to understand their plight, their obstacles and their needs and differences. We're not perfect, but as a whole, white America has been trying hard to do right by our fellow black Americans. I know I have. And now we see that we've been played as fools. The gleeful cheers by Rev. Wright's congregation to the hateful words he said about our beloved country and white Americans puts their social agenda in perspective for me. I am so sad to see they all hate us so.

Let's face it America, Racism is a Sin that will never go away in the USA. Racism is like a diseased sore that is epidemically out of control. Two wrongs don't make a right and God said vengeance is mine. Only God and GOD only can restore and heal this awful man made hatred. God is the real true judge of all people. There's no small sin or big sin. God is in total control of this election process Obama haters. Do you think it's strange that ever since the Republican party stole and cheated the vote in Fl & Oh NOTHING BUSH touched has PROSPERED. God is cleaning house starting @ the White House. It is so funny everyone making an opinion of God's chosen (Obama). We walk by faith and not by sight. Obama did not start or initiate racism no matter how you evil minded people disect it. The bible talks about this change across the board and the time is now. God said in his word (Bible) those who are first shall be last, and those who are last shall be FIRST. God's time is at hand to hold the wicked accountable for being disobedience and greed. God allowed Bush to get in office and he should be ashamed of the economy's condition. McCain is too old to answer a phone call at 3:00am.
America ought to be scared a senior citizen president. How unsafe is that? My real vote is for GOD............never trust man

MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS A PASTOR AND HAS BEEN FOR ABOUT 35 YEARS. AND HAS OPENED AND RAN A CHRISTAN SCHOOL IN FLORIDA. WE HAVE BEEN TO A LOT OF CHURCHES OF ALL RELIGIONS AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS. AND I CAN ASURE YOU OBAMA KNOWS ABOUT IT, THE MAN CALLED HIM BY NAME. AND FOR BLACK MINISTERS TO GET ON T.V. AND SAY THAT THIS IS HOW BLACK CHURCHES DO IS JUST A PLAIN OUT LIE.
AND IM ALSO TIERD OF PEOPLE ALWAYS POINTING THE FINGER TO THE SOUTH.I DONT KNOW OF A CHURCH AROUND HERE THAT PREACHES HATE.
SHAME ON SOME PEOPLE FOR SAYING THAT.
IM WONDERING WHERE THE CHILDREN WERE WHEN ALL THIS FILTHY TALK ABOUT BILL CLINTON, AND THIS MAN WAS HUMPING THE PULL-PIT! WHAT MESSAGE IS HE SENDING TO THESE CHILDREN? IT SURE ISNT LOVE,PEACE,GOD,AND HEAVEN.
THIS MAN SHOULD BE IN JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BY THE WAY IF YOU AGREE WITH HIM AND YOU DONT LIKE AMERICA AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR--------- LEAVE.-------
OPRA LEFT THIS CHURCH BECAUSE OF ALL THIS CRAP AND WRIGHT ATTACKED HER FOR IT.
THATS NOT A PASTOR THATS AN ---ASS.--- I THOUGHT PASTORS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY YOU WENT TO CHURCH AND WAS BEEING A CHRISTAN NO MATTER WHAT CHURCH YOU WENT TO. I HOPE OBOMA AND HIS WIFE LOOSES THIS RACE SINCE SHES NOT PROUD OF HER COUNTRY, AND AMERICA IS SO MEAN... .

Do you want a Muslim on the Sepreme Court? Then vote for BO HUSSEIN.
Where's Rev Al Sharpton? Where's Rev Jesse Jackson> Where's Oprah?
Maybe meeting with Rev. Wrong, Oh, so sorry, I mean Rev. Wright!
OBAMA IS A LIER, DREAMS OF MY FATHER?????
God Bless Greta for bringing this to light. Other news stations do not report this. WHY????
Go back to the shady deal on his house purchase, the same day Anthony Resko, Chicago, Illinois, purchased the lot next door. On trial, right now, is Anthony Resko, for shady dealings of his own in Chicago.
And what about his wife, Michelle, got a $200,000. raise when he went to the Senate. (what did he promise for that behind closed doors)?).
And now throw in the Rev. Wright. Attended church and does not know of the preachers beliefs.............This is hard to stomach for me. Someone has to be lying.

I want BO HUSSEIN to come forward and tell me what is this "CHANGE" that I keep hearing about - I don't know what CHANGE is because he never says what it is. just CHANGE, CHANGE? CHANGE? change???
Please, tell me what is the change??????????????????????????

As an active member of a church of my choice or over 50 years, I would like to ask Sen. Obama a few questions:
1. Did you ever question your Pastor about his beliefs toward all men kind?
2. Why, after all people are supposed to be working toward unity, does such hate filled speech have to be said at all much less from a pulpit where love is supposed to be the overall theme?
3 It does not matter to me if you were there or not during the "sound bite" segments. If you did not know the hate and theories this man preached after being in the congregation for 20 years....I would not want you as President because you are not very observant to your surroundings and I doubt you could be a discerning President.
4. I would not stay in a place I did not agree with the overall theology, so I can only assumer that you did agree and are now saying you don't, but only after the truth was out. Tell the truth and let the truth set you free.
5. How can your life be the example of opression in this country when you graduated from Harvard Law School?
I am offended by these remarks and this overall hatred that is taught in a place that is supposed to be a peaceful place, a calm refuge in the eye of a storm. How can any child be taught to love a man no matter the color os his sking when he is only taught to hate from his spiritual leader.
Just answer those questions, Sen. just use your words to answer those questions.

Did someone start passing out Kool- aide when I blinked?

I am a democrat and if Obama wins dems nomination, I will have to vote whole republican ticket in order for him to do less harm to our country...

The mind is a terrible thing to waste!!!

Could it be that perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, this was NOT the type of sermon that was preached week after week for 20 years? Could it be that maybe Sen. Obama's children attend childrens' church/Sunday school...as is common in Black churches - for those of you who insist on saying that the Obamas were exposing their children to questionable language?

How many times do you think Sen. Obama has been to church, this last year for example, while campaigning? Name one time that you have heard him say anything even remotely close to what Pastor Wright said in these 30 second snippets. HIS MOTHER whom he loved WAS WHITE....HIS FATHER WAS BLACK..HIS GRANDPARENTS who were a very important part of his life WERE WHITE...so if he agrees with Pastor Wright then is he denouncing, rejecting his own family - the people that raised him. Do you really believe that's the case?

Could it be that there are many REALLY good things about his church that are important to him, such as the great things that are done in the community and elsewhere that he decided to hold onto the good things and personally reject the things that he didn't like?

Could it be that the truth hurts? What did Pastor Wright say in those snippets, that YOU personally can unequivocably say is NOT true? Could it be that you just don't like the delivery? Have you ever been called the "N" word? Do you suppose Sen. Obama has? And how do you suppose he reconciled that in his mind being bi-racial? I have a friend who is so fair skinned that she has often been mistaken for being white. Trust me when I tell you that she has an amazing perspective about what SOME white people really think about black people - when they think they are talking candidly amongst themselves.

I believe it is entirely possible, that he chose to ignore and personally reject objectionable "over the top" rhetoric by this pastor during his 20 years. I also know that it is entirely possible to love and respect someone and NOT AGREE with everything they say or do and you rather agree to disagree on those points.

I believe that sometimes our associations are beneficial in teaching us what NOT to do? Or, that those associations/friendships provide motivation for us to make things better or to make a difference?

Could it be that we should just judge Barack Obama based on what Barack Obama has said and done instead of his pastor?

Ha anyone checked on whether or not the CLINTON's ever took money or support for their campaigns from Rev. Wright or his Church's parishoners??? I can't believe that Fox News doesn't have a file footage photo-op of the Clintons hugging this pastor while campaigning over the years for the Chicago Black vote.

Now that the true Obama has surfaced, I believe the taxpayers would gladly pay to redo Super Tuesday and revote!!! I bet Iowa, Wisconsin etc are eating their votes now!! Also people should stop blaming the Clinton/McCain campaign for surfacing this story, Barack Obama deserves all the credit. We can still save the Democratic Party, stop giving Obama the undeserved delegates. Hillary Clinton proves her experience is better than anything Obama has to offer. After his big speech tomorrow is Ted Kennedy going to sing?

The Clintons would take a check from Satan himself. Theres not a hard drive with enough space to hold all of the sleezy back room deals the Clintons have been involved with.

Gee whiz the only picture we have seen is Obama and Wright standing side by side grinning ear to ear!!! Stop blaming the Clinton's and realize Obama is a FAKE!!!!! But maybe we can blame the Clinton's for Obama's upcoming lies tomorrow!!! Hold that thought cc.

#473. As I said in a previous post I am a 38 year old white executive male and FORMER Obama supporter after learning more of his youth and affiliation with this Pastor. I also said that if Obama gets the nomination I would be voting for a Republican President for the first time. I am going to revise this slightly and agree with you...if Obama is the Democratic nominee, I will vote a straight Republican ticket to lessen the impact of any actions he might take. So incredibly sad...we Democrats had such high hopes this election cycle...only to have those hopes come crashing down around us. Heart-breaking.

Give me a break--close to this minister for nearly 20 years, so close to him that he refers to him as an "uncle" and he doesn't know him to be making these types of remarks. What on earth did they ever discuss in private conversations? What did obama hear from his fellow congregants??if he is active at all in that church, he would have friends there who would certainly discuss such inflamatory remarks!

Why should we believe anything Obama says anymore? I would not vote for him now if he was the only one running!!!!

In response to Linda, I guess Obama more than likely has taken a check from Satan, It has been proven Obama has contributed to Satan and listened to his preachings. Maybe we should blame the Clintons for that too.

#462 Pam - take a pill. This isn't about color or maybe you havn't gotten it yet. Do we care if he's green. Obviously you do. Show me your friends and I'll show you your future.
Get some therapy my dear!

chelle,#474, I truly belief you have been the one that hit it all on the head. Too bad there arent more people that feel that way.. I agree with you 100%.. And I pray that there are many more out there that feel the same. I truly believe that if the American people could hear this entire sermon preached from the pulpit it would raise a different mind set.. I feel these sermons have been taken out of context.... and yet, I hear in them the real message.. It is not a message against Americans... (as the media would have us believe) it is a message against the evil that exists in this country.. And I do believe that all those things do still exist... there is still a KKK out there.. and our government does nothing to stop it.. there is a white supremist group out there... and the people hate it but cant stop it... there is racism out there And God will one day judge us all for our part in it... What that preacher is saying is true... God will one day damn America if it does not stop going in the direction that it is going now, or God will have to say He is sorry to Sodom and Gamorha...... In those towns there were not 10 people that He could say were believers... ANd how far does this country have to go to get to that point..... how many more people have to be thrown to the wolves (media) before we can get back to where this country was founded. This country was founded on the Bible... and in every race.. there are those who say that Jesus was a blonde headed blue eyed man.... he was not.... there have been many that say Jesus was black. and I believe that i once years ago heard Opra say Jesus was a woman.. I may have misunderstood that ..... but if we all read our Bible ... we know that Jesus was a Jew...... And if he was a Jew he probably had dark skin.... and brown eyes..... and if so might he be able to be referred to as a poor black boy? Does that really matter? No i think it does not.... As long as in our worship of Him, we give him all the glory, honor and praise that is due Him (Jesus).... does it really matter what color he was..... or what race? He died for all of us..... He rose for all of us.... If people listen to Obama, I believe he stands for all of us in the wish that someday ..... someday when media does not exist... all men can be created equally.........Because we will all be judged equally...... And i believe it is a shame that this has put the pastor out of a job..... or put Obama out of the presidency...... I am a white woman. and even worse I am a Republican...... and i will vote for Obama..... because I still hope that he can accomplish what he says he wants to .... I hope that he can do something to get rid of the way this government is running... because from where I sit .. the real problems with this country are the way our government is thrashing the middle class people...... And i believe Obama has the best answers for us.......

Dear Jarvis, This is your official apology for slavery:

We, the White people of these United States of America OFFICIALLY, UNEQUIVOCALLY, and PROFUSELY apologize for something people we don't and never did know, did, to people you probably don't and never did know, back many, many years ago. We are SORRY our forefathers (or not) enslaved your people. You probably would've been much happier back in Africa where many more black people are dying of AIDS and Malaria, Dysentery, and Malnutrition, (if your family would have survived at all by now). We cannot feel bad enough that you were forced to work. I hated it as a child, when I saw Black people being ridiculed, laughed at, refused at restaurants, etc. It hurt me very badly, so I can only imagine the hurt and humiliation your folks felt. I know it is human to hold onto that hurt and anger, and yes, even hatred. But the same thing happened to our precious Saviour, and he said "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do". I didn't have it THAT bad, but growing up in a broken home without a father, moving from town to town, shabby apartment, etc., I grew some natural bitterness of my own.....until one day I finally realized that I was the one imprisoned by my own hatred. Yes, my bitterness hurt those who hurt me, but the one it hurt most, was me. After having vowed that no one would hurt me ever again, I shielded myself from pain behind an emotional wall. I was keeping hurt out, but unfortunately, that same wall also kept love, and any hope of happiness, out as well. I had to let go of the bitterness, the hatred, the anger, so I could truly start to live. I couldn't do that by myself. I had to ask God to help me. It wasn't overnight, but overtime, He came into my heart and made me a new creation. He showed me how to love again, and be vulnerable again. I did get hurt some more, but looking back after a few decades, I realize some of those hurts molded me into who I am today. God used those things to my good and gave me a strong character, which I am grateful for. I know I began this a bit on the sarcastic side, because of my frustration over the futility of a large part of a whole race hanging onto that kind of self-defeating anger. But I am sorry your people were hurt and abused. That was real and I'm truly sorry for them. I can't personally apologize because I am not personally responsible, but I wish with all my heart, that those atrocities had never happened. But honestly, we cannot go back in time and re-write history. We can remember history to learn from it and grow from it. We can only go from here. But we cannot do that if you won't let go, don't you see that? In the book of Job, he says, "the very thing I fear has come upon me". When we act out of fear, our own actions and reactions bring the things we fear, right into our lives. When we give God our fears, He turns things around for us and gives us, many times, the desires of our hearts. You can have revenge, but you can't have revenge and happiness at the same time. And whom do you have revenge against? I don't know anyone living now who owned slaves, do you? Can't we just love one another and let God heal our hearts? If we truly give Him our hearts, He will do just that! I pray that like me, you and others like you, including Rev. Wright, experience the freedom and sheer joy of being free from your burdens of anger and blame. May God Bless You!

I am surprised that Michelle married Barack and that Rev. Wright performed the service. He is half white!! Oprah's support of him surprises me as well. Interesting that both attended and graduated from among the most prestigious universities in the USA and Mrs. is proud of this "MEAN country for the first time in her life." If Americans are demented enough to put this man into the WH, will he be sworn in with hand on Holy Bible or Koran?? I've had strange! visceral(gut) feeling about him all along!!

#472 - Yeh Linda - the kool aid is being drunk by many. THe pastor hates whites, obama goes there for 20 years, = WHAT? Good days ahead. Some of you out there need some therapy! The sad thing is - your voting. SHUDDER,

I agree with you Corrine, about #462 comment.

Oh Yeh - We've all taken the sermons out of context. God Damm America. Oh, that must mean something else. golly gee. - Ridin Dirty - With a little humping there - mimicking Clinton and his concubine , gosh that must be out of context to. We also stuck Blacks with the aids virus. Gosh Holy Cow. Yeh thats out of context too. Are You People Brain Dead!

#488 listen long enough to "SOME" of these people and you'll be either an alcoholic or start using heavy meds. Does anyone care that this is not about his color - brain dead - their just brain dead - i'm heading towards the med cabinet NOW!

SENATOR BARACH OBAMA: DONE IN BY HIS OWN PEOPLE

It was very predictable that Seantor Obama would garner the overwhelming majority of African-Amercan votes once it became clear that he had a chance to win. But who would have ever predicted that the racist tirades of his own Reverend and mentor (Rev. Wright), with whom Senator Obama had a twenty year relationship, coupled with Reverend Wrights and his church's close and supportive ongoing relationship with Nation of Islam's Minister Farakkan, who calls all whites "blue eyed devils" may be the major factor that blow the Obama candidacy out of the water. If the behavior of Rev. Wright , the association with Minister Farakkan scares white voters from Senator Obama in the next states's contests, it may be necessary for the super delegates to step in to save a the hope of a democratic presidency. And then there is the reaction of numerous, powerful African-American Ministers to what they view as Senator Obama throwing his own minister "under the bus". Senator Obama and perhaps his candidacy has been put into a no win situation by his own people/their leaders.

That the mainstream media are still deferential to Senator Obama by their avoidance of CONNECTING the long standing Wright-Farakkan RELATIONSHIP DOTS and comparing the the vitriolic and racially hateful rantings of Revends Wright and Farakkan to the statements of Geraldine Ferraro speaks volumes about the mainstream media and their apparent DIS-EASE with race which is a form of racism. The mainstream media have also omitted apparent proof that Senator Obama may have lied when saying he never witnessed any racially hateful sermons by his Rev. Wright and that Minister Farakkan had received an award from his church for helping ex-offenders. A reporter was said to have witnessed Senator Obama in attendance of a July 22, 2007 sermon at which Reverend Wright spewed hatred toward the white race in content and tone and Rev. Farakkan in fact received a "life time achievement " award from Rev. Wright's/ Senator Obama's church.

Had Senators Hillary Clinton or John McCain had such close and ongoing associations with anyone of the racist likes of Minister Farakkan or anyone who spewed the racist hate akin to that which Rev. Wright has spewed, after giving the likes of Farakkan his churches life time achievement award, the mainstream media would have been all over McClain and Clinton. To compare the tone and content of Geraldine Ferraro's statement to that of Rev. Wright is ludicrous. Geraldine Ferraro was not even on the Clinton Campaign staff. She was a fund raiser. What she said was closer to insensitive than the racially hateful spewing of Rev. Wright . And Geraldine Ferraro was not Hillary Clinton's mentor of twenty years. It's scary what this double standard may say about the mainstream media-either biased or incompetent or a bit of both. For one to afford the mainstream media the benefit of any doubt, it would need to be based on the that mainstream TV media are based in the entertainment section of their corporation, that they are ratings focused show business and that the days of serious , competent professional JOURNALISM are gone and passe.

Although Senator Obama tried to minimize the Minister Farakkan connection in this entire matter (it makes Rev. Wright's comments appear more racial), he did, and quite courageously, repudiate Rev. Wright's racially charged statements.
And now a large group of powerful African-American ministers criticize Senator Obama for throwing Rev. Wright "under the bus".

If Obama and his religious mentor were white, and running down blacks as radically, how would that go down? What are they thinking? The word of God says- Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth doth speak--. Obama's Pastor is so full of hate it must be such a dark,sad, sick heart. He needs to ask Jesus in. Read this: Col: 3:8-11 But now,put off --anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not to one another, seeing you have put off the old man with his deeds-neither greek nor Jew---but Christ is all, and in all. A double minded man is crooked in all his ways---also in the bible. I am glad my pastor does not ever teach - hate but rather that we should love one another as god loves us- May God have mercy, that all those misdirected would find truth. Search the scriptures to see what is of God. The false prophet will be in hell before the devil. There is an accountability. God Bless America!!! Amen.

God damn Barack Hussein Obama and Rev. Wright. I never thought in a million yrs. I would say it but I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN if Obama is the democratic candidate and so too many other democrats to count. McCain is going to win because of all of this - and I blame the media for promoting the wrong candidate throughout the primaries.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot it seems to me that the African American community is singing a different song. When Bill Clinton compared Obama to Jesse Jackson in South Carolina, everybody seem to take offense to his statement and started blaming Hillary for what her husband said. Now comes Obama's Spirtial leader for 20yrs, making racially motivated comments, thaking the LORD'S name in vain, basicly saying that America got what it deserved on 9/11. The same people that said Bill was wrong are now wanting white people just to forgive and forget and not hold Obama accountable. Why is it that Hillary can be held accountable for what her husband says but Obama can't be held accountable for what his "friend, Pastor, mentor, the person that married him and his wife and Baptized their daughters, said? It seems to me that what is good for the Goose is good(or bad) for the Gander too.

I was an Obama supporter, I belived it was a new day and a new beginning in America. But this is like the Wizard of Oz. We are now seeing what is behind the curtain. This is a man that said he would unite us. This is a man that said he would unite the world. How can you unite a country as diverse as America if you spend twenty years listening and engaging in this kind of separtist hate rhetoric.

Obama has been fundamentally clear that he does not want us to see him as a "black" man. We have been asked as Martin Luther King has said to "look at the content of his character and not the color of his skin." How can Obama's campaign, the campaign I listened to and was excited by now say that this is typical talk in black churches. That Obama shares no responsibility for these words. How can we assume that listening to this language for 20 years does not affect his character.

Obama has been about ideas. Obama said "Words Matter." Well words do matter, and these hateful words matter.

I believe in an America that will someday end racism, white racism, black racism, muslin racism, ALL racism. I am ending racism in my world now. I will not vote for Obama.

I now think we were all wrong about Hillary, and were fooled! I only hope it is not too late.

(redo - typo - )
God damn Barack Hussein Obama and Rev. Wright. I never thought in a million yrs. I would say it but I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN if Obama is the democratic candidate and so will a lot of other democrats. Obama is unelectable now. He needs to bow out so that the democrats have a chance.

Obama is finished. If he is nominated Mccain will win. No one sincerely believes he was part of this church for 20 years and didn't know what it was about. He lied on national television. If he cares about the Democratic party, he would drop out now.

I watched the people in the choir and congregation as they listened to the hate filled sermon. A frightening thought occurred to me-------do all black people I meet on the street and elsewhere look at me with hatred because I'm white? Think of the impressionable children.

Obama has little experience, so he touts judgement. Where has his judgement been for the last twenty years? A church as devisive as his is a calling to people who have felt this way all their life. Twenty years of hate against others is deeply-ingrained by now. There is no changing, no matter what he says.

I would not be sitting in that pew for 20 yrs. listening to Rev. Wright.
Not sure what were Sen. Obama and his wife were thinking.
I'm proud of this country, and Wright has no business condemning and insulting America.
Dr. King is spinning in his grave, Wright just killed his dreams.
Obama's Pastor, just killed his chances.
Cecilia

regardless of race, belief or background - how do you sit in a church congregation for over 20 years when you dont believe what the pastor is saying? How in good conscience do you not walk out? The only thing that i can think is that obviously your NOT that in awe, or against what retoric that is being said . . . and as such how can I personally trust a man to represent a diverse country when your congregation has been so derogitory and down right inflamatory. There is no context, NO explination and NO way that i can forgive a man for saying 'God Dam America' and that HIV is a cleansing tool ? - i dont care if its a sound bite or not, in context or not . . . and Obama thinks that coming out in disagreement days afterward is fine - its NOT. How can a future leader of the free WORLD not have the dare i say jewels to stand up and publically denounce these things? Its too little too late. My decision is solidified and its not for Obama.

#495 former Obama Supporter - well said.

The Emperor isn't naked; he is a racist separatist Anti-American Anti-Semite with a Muslim upbringing and name.

The people who insist on distracting the public's attention because of excerpts from a few seconds of Rev. Wright's sermons (out of 36 years worth), are hoping to conjure up a "Planet of the Apes" style scenario to suggest, falsely, that White people should be afraid of a Black man ascending the Presidency. Senator Obama never made those statements. Senator Obama never espoused Black Nationalist/ Seperatist ideology. The agenda of Conservatives/ Republicans is to keep economic news off of the front page. Conservatives/ Republicans have no other way of connecting with the working and middle class masses.

Roy from Brooklyn, NY

Corrine, perhaps you are judged by your friends.... but, mine would tell you nothing about me..nor do my children reflect in their lives how they were raised.. so go stick your head back in the sand..... I have not made this about color.... the media did that..... sounds like you are too close to the Clintons to be objective on the truth here ...

# 491 yours is the best analysis of Obama's plight that I've seen so far!

Obama has little experience, so he touts judgement. Where has his judgement been for the last twenty years? A church as devisive as his is a calling to people who have felt this way all their life. Twenty years of hate against others is deeply-ingrained by now. There is no changing, no matter what he says.

Everyone knows where they were on Sunday, September 16th 2001! Churches had their largest attendance numbers that week. Its like "where were you when Kennedy was shot?"

Obama doesn't need to disclaim Rev. Wright's words. Obama can denouce the comments all he wants but it doesn't ever change the fact that he (Obama) endorsed him by attending there-enough said. We're not stupid, we get the picture.

The media is missing the point:When it was politically advantageous to attend there and get elected locally, he attended. Now that its politically advantageous to denouce Rev. Wright, he does!

I am appalled with the remarks of Obama's pastor. Talk about racist to the maximum!! What even bothers me more is that Obama has denied hearing any of these kinds of statements. He acts as if he has been in a totally different atmosphere for 20 years than sitting in a church pew. He acts as if he had NO IDEA of the kinds of racism that has come out of this church and its thinking. Normally a church this size would have CD's or tapes of the sermons to buy after each sermon. Surely Obama has heard something of this kind of talk in the past. After all he has referred to Rev. Wright as an Uncle. How can a member of 20 years have no idea that his "mentor" had these thoughts and preached in this manner. Obama in the past dismissed very quickly the honor that Rev Wright placed on Farrahan. It was very clear that this racist has given an honor by Rev Wright. Obamas longtime mentor and pastor may have done great things for the church and community, but he is also spreading hate toward our country and toward white people to his flock. Many ministers do wonderful things and lead people to Christ but normally they don't spread hate at the same time. Obama is his own man and his wife is her own person ....but they have supported this man and raise him up as someone to look up to and to be his mentor. This is a judgement call on Obama's part and one that greatly disturbs me. Obama has had "a get out of jail free card with the press" for many months. Maybe if he had been treated like the other candidates and question on his beliefs and values and his past had been scrutinized as other canidates have been both Democat and Republican- most of America would have discovered earlier this information. I have told my children for 20+ years "You are who your friends are and you are who you associate yourself with". You can't say that a racist is your mentor and later pretend you don't know what he truly stands for. As an earlier comment stated "if it talks like a duck and walks like a duck....it is probably a DUCK!

I am an Obama supporter. I am more encouraged than ever. I have personally registered 27 new voters in Philadelphia since Thursday. I will work until the March 24th deadline to register many more. Believe me, for every voter claiming to no longer support Senator Obama, there are 3 who understand the real issues. The statements of Rev. Wright have no effect on people losing their homes to foreclosure, or their jobs to economic policies.

If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and looks like a duck, it probably is a duck. This pastor clearly hates America and happily preaches to those who likewise hate this country. And in his congregation, most of whom show their utmost glee at hearing such vicious hatred of this country spewed out by this pastor, for the past 20 years or so it appears has been Obama. But Obama would have us believe he didn't really know what was being preached in those many years by this pastor - someone with whom he is so close, within and without the church. Now put together with that the reported recent comments of Obama's wife about being proud of this country "for the first time in my life..." despite all the advantages she has undoubtedly enjoyed in it, and what do you have? Undoubtedly a duck. Do not be deceived.

Oh Pam Pam Pam - Obama made this about race along with his Rev. Wright. You just gotta listen to the news my dear. Get that hearing aid turned up. Hillary, Obama - I'm voting for Scooby Doo! Phew, had to spit that sand out of my mouth. Yuk. Its awful too.
After reading what you wrote, You need to seek some kind of therapy or maybe have a lobotomy.

You know what America? What I have been hearing and reading for the last few days is startling. America is even further acting out just what Rev. Wright was preaching about, the injustices of this country. BTW he is absolutly right with all that he said. White America's problem is she don't want to face herself.
Because Sen. Obama did not leave the church is so irrelevant its not funny. What is relevant is what comes out of Sen. Obama's mouth, and how he lives. Look at him, study him. Look at his life and how he lives it. His life is wonderful and so far everything he has done, is and was for the people. There is noone who will say a nasty thing about him. He has been a helper and giver to all he comes in contact with. Now does this sound like a man who has hatred? I don't think so.
Lets suppose you try to get a job, and the person intervewing you, ask you what church you attend. Is that relevant to the skills you bring to the job? Now you get turned down because that intervewer does not like your pastor or the denomination of the church. Seriously ask yourself, is that fair?
Judgement? Well it seems to me that Sen. Obama has great judgement, because maybe he learned not only from his mother but from his pastor that there is a serious problem in this country that needs repair.
You all better think.

Roy get your head out of the sand and see the light for what it really is!!!

I once thought it would be great to have a half white half black man unite this country and finally get rid of race as an issue. I am sadly sorry that Obama has shown himself to be a flim flam man. By that I mean that he is not truthful. He sounds great in his prepared, read stomp speeches, but is not very fluent when the words aren't written for him. I think that is why is is giving a speech tomorrow instead of answering the press's questions off the cuff today. Who is this man? I don't think anyone we can trust to represent all of us--just the black community.

Pam, (462) Wake up, Honey! Those are radical "teachings". If Senator Obama had a friend with those ideologies, or even a family member, it would be different. But if those things were said as many times as Rev. Wright said them, and in obvious ways to stir the congregation to anger and passion, a principled person would not continue to attend. This is where the emotions and spirit of his family is being fed and nurtured. You don't allow that hate stuff to infiltrate your family unless you have similar ideas. You need to take the blinders off!

I am a 42 year old white male, recently retired from the military. I fully supported Obama until I heard this story. How can you be a member of a church of 20 years, hear this type of message and not support the pastor's belief. Obama is finished- GUARANTEED!

Roy - you will be soooo surprised coming Nov. You keep trying though. I give you credit. But you better look at the posts. You are in the minority ON EVERY POST. 27 voters. You'll need a couple more than that to clear this issue. You really think us tax payers should pay for the folks who bought houses they couldn't afford, or those that can't read a contract! Just in case you havn't figured it out yet, the PResident does't create business the private sector does. Some of you guys will believe anything. Maybe start reading a contract, don't spend more than you can afford and than expect us hard working people who had to work for everything pay for your stupidity. What a dope!

#509 - Roy, I have recently lost my job and am praying I'll find a new one soon so I don't lose my home, and I will not vote for Obama. I've changed my vote to Clinton.

James - Welcome home and thanks for your service. For protecting all of us even the dopes. Oops, i think i committed a social boo boo.

Corrine, the taxpayers are paying 30 billion dollars to bailout Bear Stearns. If taxpayers shouldn't pay for the poor judgement of homeowners, then we also shouldn't pay for the irresponsibility of investors.

#509 - I pray you'll find a job soon Roy. I know its hard, but we worked and put aside enuf to pay about 3-4 months of payments. I buy most things from garage sales and use the credit card system for rebates. For us it works because I pay in full each month.
My husband is self employed and will be semi-retired this spring. Its a bad time we're going through. Unfortunately some of it is of our own making. NOT ALL just some. God Bless and Good Luck.

#520 - sounds good to me! They won't take my phone call on that though. Darn!

Barack and Michelle Obama are anti-American..... I am happy they have finally been exposed for the persons they are. It is unfortunate that Obama has gotten this far in his campaign. He should stop his campaign.......You may not like Hillary or McCain, but they love America.

VOTE FOR HILLARY OR JOHN MCCAIN!!!! They love our country!!!

Enough, people! I cannot believe you think R/Wright's sermons are OK. Yes racism is wrong. We GOT that part. That is NOT what all that was about!. He wasn't preaching to the KKK! For pity's sake, he was inciting blacks against whites. I can't believe that you are so narrow minded and narrow focused to see the forrest for the trees. I am sorry your white Knight has blown your fantasies, but that's all they were. This man is charming, likeable, and a wolf in sheep's clothing. The rabbit is out of the hat. Just give it up!

How does attending this church make Sen. Obam less of a man?
Not a good judge?
a racist? a muslim? a anti jew?
anti american?
Did you all see the white people that were in the church as well?
Did you see anyone leaving?
That's because they know that the pastor is not a hate monger ot anti american. some of you have found a reason not to like Sen. Obama because you were looking for a reason to justify your real feelings. And That's what the Rev. was reffering to. And you all wonder why people around the world think Americans are evil.
These type of comments against a man who had done nothing wrong is ridiculus. .........Now I know how Jesus felt

Corrine, post #521--Thank you. "Words DO matter" and you've touched my heart.

Lots of people out there who think like you James Jones - good for you for allowing your mind to be changed in the light of new, undeniable evidence. The people who still blindly support Obama amidst this revelation about his true character and severe lack of judgement, remind me of the same people who still support George W. Bush after all of the irrevocable damage he has done to our constitution, our economy, and to our foreign relations.

Roy - P.S. Any idiot who goes out and takes out a loan for tons of money, with huge monthly payments, and NO leftovers is a damn fool. When your an adult and IF you don't understand your contract you find someone who does. People have been buying homes for generations and all of a sudden you gotta have the big expensive home that some of us dream of getting maybe later in life. But ya just gotta have it NOW. Whats wrong with a small starter home. I ain't a paying for "YOU" or whomever to live in splendor and stupidity. Then its crying and heartache, of "your" own making. No one, unless their rich, starts at the top. Thats a sure way to lose it all. pure and clear STUPIDITY! You have to be a "grownup" and think about possible illness, having kids, braces, etc. etc. Thats what happens when your a grownup.

#523, I wish you knew the real Hillary Clinton. Those who know her say she is a true _itch! She pretends to be so for the down and out and the little man, but those who work under her, she treats like absolute dirt! She and Bill Clinton are charming rattle snakes. Get prepared; the truth will come out on her, as well. Do I like McCain? Not particularly, but I'd crawl on hands and knees to vote for him against either of the two Dem snakes in the grass!

Bye Bye Bama !

I've been 'donating' to Obama's campaign and was very hopeful that a black man could actually help the chasms and bring us together BUT Rev Wright has changed all that. It would require 'the willing suspension of disbelief' in order to beleive Barack didn't know the vile, racist hate-monger of whites and jews he was being 'inspired' by....actually, Rev Wright inspired me too....to vomit!

Steve(512) I agree with you. good to see more people that feel that way. Diane, (515) sometimes radical is the best way... have you heard all of any of those sermons? ANd tell me of what you heard, any one of those little tidbits, which part of them were not true in todays society? Go ahead an tell me what part you have not seen happening today... Or perhaps you dont know history. maybe you do not know that our government did infect black Americans with syphilis? maybe you dont know there is still racism in this country. Maybe you live in a glass house. I dont know.. but I will wait to hear you tell me what part of that sermon (that portion of a sermon) was not true? I am all ears. If you are talking about the part where he said "God damn America", I believe God will Damn America for the injustices and the hate crimes and the policies that it has lived by. Those parts of our country that are so far from His word, from the way He wants things to be, you better believe that God will judge... So tell me , what part of those tidbits were false?

#526 - hang in there. Pray about it. The Lord always answers prayers or opens a door. Faith. And boy its sure hard sometimes. Your words helped me tonight too - its been just one of those nights!

Diane you are fussing about the pastors words but blaming Obama for being there. Wow So I guess you are perfect. How stupid is that? How do you feel about Robert Byrd?

I am a black female who attends both baptist and catholic churches. I find it hard to believe that you lack reality about race relations in america. Most white people do. america is and always have been prejudice toward other races especially toward Blacks. Slavery was an real/black issue for america. It contiune today in many states.the only different is that the plantations are gone. Obama is biracial. His mother was white. due to the 10 percent rule , he is classifed as black.Obama is not his pastor ( doctor wright) do we comdemn all catholic for all the priests that has sexual abuse children?

Pam - what about the humping thing! That was the best part of all. I bet the kids got the biggest kick out of seeing this so called "man of god" mimic a good "riding dirty" act. Gotta love it. I believed that part, hows that!

Now, I guess I'll vote for McCain, instead but I have to admit I will enjoy it will lying Hillery kicks Slick Willy to the curb when she doesn't have to put up with all his BS anymore....I'll feel her pain as soon as I stop laughing!!!

Obama looked us right in the eye and lied to us, yes. So, how could we possibly vote for him now? Not only is his minister a radical, but he was getting all kinds of rabid agreement from the audiences to these hate speeches. A man who takes his children to indoctrinate them into this mindset is nobody I want to head up my country. Obama is out of the question. It's a real shame too. I was pro-Obama beore this all came to light.

Yet Bill Clinton looked us right in the eye and lied to us too. He played us all for morons by saying that what happened between he and Monica wasn't sex,
but only after denying he'd had any sexual relations with "that woman." Liar.

Did he expect us to believe that he didn't believe that a sex act ending in ejaculation was NOT SEX??? Give us a break!

And now, America is poised to give him back the key to the White House, after shaming our country, the Whitewater coverup and everything else.

We can't vote for Obama, for fear we will be electing a Black Panther.

We CANNOT let the Clintons back into the White House either. Have we all forgotten that they stole items when they vacated?

What is left for us to do? I think we're left to staying away from the polls in November in droves.

Sad state of affairs.

Mary - give us a break. Do all Catholics speak of their priests as "like uncles"? No - most of the time Catholics don't even really know their priests. BUT ONE THING IS CLEAR - OBAMA and WRIGHT are VERY TIGHT. Obama said that Wright helped him to find Christ. Obama has been listening to his sermons for 20 yrs. This is not at all the same relationship that Catholics have with their priests. I should know I am Catholic.

Geraldine Ferro resigned over her comments after Obama and his camp ripped her to pieces and called her racist. He listened to this man's hate for 20 yrs. you cannot tell me Abama does not support his racist views. I have changed churches for differences in beliefs and this pastors views are unexcusable or justifiable. I am tired of the double standard. Africian Americans expect to be exempt from accountablity when it comes to racist words.
Israel is our closest supporter. His veiws seriously call into question Abama's ability to manage foreign policies. He lost my vote by standing by this racist who called Judisum a Ghetto Religion

It is ashme that the right use sound bites to try an defuse a positive black man. I myself see what Rev. Wright to be very true and all white americans should be ashame. Why? Because you have been so misleading for so long you have lost your ability to between truth and lies. If its not true what Rev. Wright say then PLEASE SAY Greta it is a lis on your show. Do you have the nerve to say it is a lis. I challenge you to do it. I bet you wont say it niot true What is said about your race by the Rev. Wright.

It's about 20 years too late for Obama to do the only thing he could have done. In the Early 1960's, in the early 1960's, there was a Communist much discussed on the news named Angela Davis. I'm sure some of you are old enough to remember her. She was arrested for several felonies and her supporters started collecting cash for a defense fund.

We were Presbyterians, then. When the local Presbytery sent Ms Davis $20,000 for her criminal defense fund, without mentioning it to the congregation till it was done, my parents stood up and walked out. They never went back; they were offended to the core. We found out over the next few weeks that about 90% of the congregation walked out behind us, and the church that had once proudly boasted two services in a huge and beautiful new sanctuary was reduced to holding prayer services in the library. It took the church an entire generation to revive itself.

If my parents, and their co-religionists, could do this, why couldn't Mr Obama? More importantly, why DIDN'T he?

I must conclude that Mr Obama does not actually disagree, and that he has lied to the American public in every speech he has made since declaring his candidacy. We're Americans; we know politicians lie... but this is unconscionable!

The economic slow down is by far the most important issue to most Americans who are struggling to make ends meet. Poverty is color blind. Barack Obama, because of his few years in the Senate, is not beholden to the special interest. Therefore, Obama will be the best advocate for working and middle class Americans.

#535 Mary - Well lets see Mary - I'm not Catholic, but if my Priest was screwing my kid - well I guess I'd leave. Are you for real??? Obviously you don't attend Church. As a member of a Baptist Church, I pretty much know the mission statements, I listen to my Pastor and "hear" his words, speak to other members. I pretty much have a handle on what is and isn't going on. As a Christian would I attend a Church of Which I DIDN'T Believe the Preaching? I can't believe you actually need that answer Mary. Maybe you'd attend. Maybe Borack didn't know what was going on for those 20 years. God help us if he attended the Church and didn't know about his mentor and NOW WANTS TO RUN THE COUNTRY! God help us. If he can't remember what went on there what will happen when he has to run a country? Golly Gee WHiz. Get a life Mary. Obama isn't running for dog catcher he's running for the highest post in the US of A. He knew exactly what was going on and your a dope if you can't see the truth. Do you think so many people on these forums would be so upset over the job of dog catcher. Well, I guess I would because I love my dog. She's black and white.

Oh, I'm so scared as a white person. I can't handle that after being brought over in chains on ships from my homeland, that those negroes would be so uppity to fight back. Why are they fighting back? We need to keep them down, in their place. Why are they using the same toilets as us? I don't want to catch their diseases. And, man, when my white preacher tells me that gays are the devil, the black man is the devil, that muslims are the devil, that anyone who doesn't look or act like me is the devil, well, goodness sakes, I believe my racist pastor more than I believe that uppity black pastor. Keep the minorities down. That's the only way freedom will prevail. Keep our troops in Iraq. It doesn't matter if hundreds of thousands of those muslims die. It's the white boys who matter. Go white America!!!

It is hard to compare lying about a blowjob to lying about belonging to a racist church and having a personal mentorship with the leader of an Anti-American Anti-White Anti-Semetic Church.

My mother taught me years ago that you are judged by the friends you keep.
as a white american this weighs heavy on my mind. I have a real problem with a pastor preaching such hatred in the house of god. God isn't happy about it either that i am sure of. I am proud of america and i am thankful that i was born in this great country. nothing can convince me that obama knew nothing of this hatred being preached in his church. NOT NOTHING! My vote is for McCain. I trust he will do all in his power to protect my country and my family.I can't beleive people are able to look past this and excuse it. It is not okay!

If a pedifile preached about his hate and humping of children and a Presidential candidate, sat, nodded, got spiritual advice and gave tidings to this man then he should definitely be exposed and his candidacy would be over. Of course, this isn'[t the way the Catholic Priets work but if they knew of their falings and went along for political expediency like Obama has then it should and will be over. White people can not trust him between, Michelle with a boulder on her shoulder when it comes to this Country and that vile, bigotted racist advisor....it's over.....HELLO PRESIDENT MCCAIN!

Did any of you know that in Hillary's younger days she had ties to the black panthers?
You all need to do your homework before you start to pass judgement.
Oh! BTW McCain is no saint either. Stop with your hate filled hearts, open your eyes. Remember we all will be judged one day. Noone knows the time or day. So make sure your house is clean.

Please believe that Borack or Hillary will be cutting back the Bush tax cuts and YOu WIll Have Your Taxes Raised. We're retiring but you who are working better be realllll scared. If you think things are bad now, just you wait. IT will get worse.

It is interesting how a lot of people are commenting against Dr. Wright. I am an African-American male and it is shame how when someone speaks against slavery then we are pro-black and racist. When African-Americans have been slaves over forty years ago and we were unable to read or write. When we speak an uplifting message then we are considered anti white. Do you know that Sunday is the most segregated day? Why do you think Southern Baptist does not get along with the General Baptist? There is still racism and ignorance out there. The media is picking on Obama because they cannot find anything in his personal life that is flawed, so they have to attack his church and his character. Interesting. I think people in general should grow up and just accept the fact that Obama is highly qualified and that there is a possibility that he will become the first African American president. If people are truly ready for change then the media should start focusing on the positive side of Obama and leave his pastor/former pastor out it. We need to wake up and see that the media is using all negative comments to damage Obama's race. It is time for change and the first change we need to make as a whole is our attitude and view on prejudice and racism. I don't think that Ameica is ready to accept a Black president.

Roy (post #543). There is a flaw in your logic. Obama is not color blind.

This is a vote for the President of the USA Steve. I guess I'll not descriminate, or check anyone out, just put that voting sheet b4 me, blindfold me and just let me put an x somewhere on the sheet. How's that steve, non judgemental enuf for you. Save your crap. Most of us want to make an intelligent decision on who runs our country.

I agree with Obamas paster and I feel america is making a big deal out of nothing. The first amendment protects Obama's pastor views and that don't mean Obama share the views. America is now hearing the truth and is getting mad because it is coming from a black man. Also America is getting mad because a black man is close to being president. No one is making a big deal out of McCain so called "Spiritual Advisor". The rich white men that run America don't want the black man to be president. This election has always been about race but its not Obama's fault. One of Clinton friends got on Tv talking about the only reason Obama is getting as far as he is because of his color is rascist. So white America please stop trying to find petty things to pin on Obama. *That is not the only pastor in America that talk like that, just look at John McCains spiritual Advisor. Fuck Bill Clinton, George Bush and the rich white men that run this country. They are all idiots and so are the people on the Fox News Channel. The words did not even come out of Obama's mouth.

hey hey hey

PLEASE, ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS - get off the website. We have heard enough from the preatcher!! There is nothing you, or BO HUSSEIN can say to correct the damage done.
BO HUSSEIN needs to step out of the Senate, as he is not fit to be a Senator for any american, and step out of the Presendential Race as he is just lowering the race for other future canditates. ONE ROTTEN APPLE spoils it for others.
And his wife, Michelle Obama, her comments are right in line with their hateful preatcher. Birds of a Feather do Flock Together.

Since the Fox Network can not dig up any dirt on Senator Obama, then your next route is to attack him on the pastor remarks. That is the reason our country is divided, because you guys hate to see a Black Man as president of the US. Ferraro and Bill Clinton played the race card, however all you haters kemp your mouth shut. I have attended a lot of Catholic church and many of those priest are gay. You are telling me that all the congregation are gay? HELL NO

It is bad enough that Barrack and Michelle have listened to this hateful man's rantings for twenty years but to subject their two young daughters to him proves to me they believe as Wright believes. One would not subject their child to this otherwise. Judging Barrack by his character, not his color, he is not the right man to lead our country!!!! Go Hillary!!!

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

The media isn't damaging Obama - OBAMA did this to himself by attending this radical separatist church for 20 years and then preaching union of the races while running for President. He dug his grave when he said that Rev. Wright is his mentor who is like an uncle to him and helped him to find Christ. Uh - what Christ would that be? AntiAmerican, AntiWhite AntiSemite - guess that is the AntiChrist.

Daniel - you'd like that I'm sure. they've been hiding obamas dirty laundry BECAUSE he's black for months. The cats out of the bag and its staying out and most of the smart voters are rethinking things. Wright hates whites and so does Obama and when you start spouting about racism start looking at your own race. Slavery is over Daniel. Get over it. The nuts out there who don't like us because we're women, white men (their now in a minority), black, white, thin, fat - ignore it. You'll not change everyones mind. AGAIN SLAVERY IS OVER! Black Americans get more of everything today. Just look at New Orleans. There have been natural disasters all over, even in my community. There were no paid motel rooms, no mobil homes, no nothing. So get over it. I get so sick of hearing that crap!

Mystichick, so what your saying is that you dont even know you pastor but you go there... you dont know he is molesting children but you take your children there ... as do all Catholics..... what a crock....... People can sit in a church. any church and listen to a man speak Gods Word and do not have to be 100% in agreement. You can have your children raised in that church and not agree with every word that comes out of the pulpit.... to tell me mystichick, how does your pastor address racism in this country.. does he ignore it...... how does he address hate crimes, does he ignore it.... the people that complain here about Obama are the ones that are being addressed in those little snips of a sermon...... And you cant take just a snip of any sermon and know what the entire thing was about..... I dont care what church you attend.

Sen. Obama will not recover from this. He shows lack of character by denying the obvious influence this man has been in his life. His mother must have been uncomfortable in that church. It's hard to listen the venom!! People who grow spiritually under that rhetoric are racist. They inwardly blame white people for ALL the ills of Black people.

Just what is his REAL agenda!!!!????

Mr. Obama will no longer be known for the Audacity of Hope..instead he will now be known for the AUDACITY OF HIS DECPTION.

Not one poster has disputed the facts I raised about Rev. Wright's comments being immaterial to our country's economic condition. The Obama campaign is focused and on message. Taxpayer funded trips to Iraq won't change the state of our economy. Anyone considering McCain for President had better start insisting he lay out a competent plan for America's economic future.

Mr. Obama will no longer be known for the Audacity of Hope..instead he will now be known for the AUDACITY OF HIS DECEPTION.

No - PAM - what I am saying is that our priests preach from the Bible - and there are a lot of priests that speak - not one that rants on through all the sermons. Our priests don't incite whites against blacks or visa versa to roaring crowds. Also, Catholics do not call their priests mentors or uncles. We hardly know them. BTW - GOD DAMN BARACK OBAMA AND REV> WRIGHT FOR HATING AMERICA!

#559 - you said youself it ended. SO GET OVER IT. No one has gone through life without pain. I get sick of you black people complaining about everything when my"white" grandma scrubbed floors to keep her 5 kids fed when her husband died at 33. Yeh, we all have it so good. No bad trips with the cops. Of course if you rob and rape and break the law - we go to jail! All you have to do now is yell "racism" the the aclu jumps to your defense. I heard of a guy in FLA who would have been able to get help starting a business IF he was black. A black will get a job before a more qualified white BECAUSE he's black. Maybe more black americans should stay in school, maybe quite having 10 kids, maybe quit living off of the taxpayers and that goes for white women also. The blacks today have it better than white men have it and You Call Us Racists. You can't be a Christian, bellieve in the "BIble" as Jesus stated and believe in Wrights and Obamas views. The thought that Fericon is involved makes me sick! A Church - NO IT IS NOT AND HE'S NO MAN OF GOD!

Obama can't winn without 'white' votes and unless he actually tells the truth and not some more phony spin tomorrow...HE'S FINISHED! Simple as that! It's finally time for all that honesty and transpanacy he's been talking about...or else!!

Roy your wrong!

The situation with Obamas pastor will impact us economically, because we will now have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean up all the bull s....
that Obama has spread through out this country.

Maybe we'll get a Rezko discount if we hire one of his friends?

Hey Roy - get a job and save your money. sometimes the economy shifts. you have to be wise and adult to prepare ahead. the govt. isn't here to pay your bills.

Corrine, if you are so inteligent, why are you crucifying one man for another mans actions? You obviously didnt like Sen. Obama from the start. Now you come to a blog to spew your racist hatred. You dont fool me, you are not that smart. If you were, you would know that the very one who started this thing (Sean Hannity) spun and is spinning has much of the truth as he can about this issue so that he can draw in as many racist as he can, to vote against Obama so that his side will win. He keeps telling you this everyday and you all dont hear it. You dont hear the game thats being played. .........He says he thinks Obama had judgement issues and character issues for attending this church for 20 years, and plays you all the inflamitory statements, but then he brings on a known racist in Gingrich, who oh! BTW is a known adulter. Thats why he was kicked out of congress. So Hanninty is a hipocrit, but he does not care because his goal is to get his side to win. .......And you all are thinking you are being fooled by Obama. The one who really is being honest.
OH! Sen. Obama didn't say he didnt know. He said that statements that were played on the video that was shown on tvhe didnt know about. He did say that he had heard some rough things but not to that level. But again you all hear what you want to hear.

Do you know that Hillary is known among her driver and several secret service men as Hitlary because of her unkind manners and her filthy mouth? Did you know that she was trained in college under a Marxist? Did you know that Mrs. Clinton is all about POWER? She tries to pass herself off as a moderate when she is an absolute liberal? Did you know that her campaign claims resemble those of Hitler? Do you know why people who are wealthy preach "give-aways"? So they can make you dependant on them, so they can own you! She promises the world, but just wait til she gets to the top. Just like Hitler, she will not keep her promises. I had told my friend, a Hillary supporter, these things. She didn't believe me, until one day she received a phone call from a friend, who she found out to be a relative of one of her employers. He absolutely hates her. She cussed him out one day, using the F word several times, just for saying "good morning, Mrs. Clinton", as that wasted her time. She wasn't convicted in the White Water hearings because her accursers fell on "hard times". I believe one even died, if my memory serves me. What do you think of Mrs. Clinton now? Clinton or Obama? Which is the worse of the two evils? Kind of like Russian Roulet, huh?

You know Pam - some of us go to hear the word of God spoken from the bible. Do you remember the division of church and state. They were talking about looking into mr wrights so called church when he started pushing obama at the alter, a big no no if you want to be tax exempt. what a racket wright has got from all those sorry people that fall for his s..t. He must have belly droop from that heavy wallet. they see the church gives to charities. i'd sure like to know HOW MUCH! You can give $1.00 and say you gave. To be a little mouse and go through those books - ooh I'd just love it.

How will this great country ever get over the racial divide when the so call African American leaders... Jessie Jackson/Al Sharpton can't admit to the anti-Semitic preaching’s of Rev. Wright. Had his shoe's been filled by a white minister preaching this type of hatred towards America and blacks, the two clowns would be protesting in front of the church along with NBC, ABC, CNN and Keith Oberman. Hypocrites! It appears the Liberals want to keep this great country divided.

Our country's economic condition is immaterial to Barack Obama now. Obama's political positions are irrelevant now. No one will believe anything he says now anyway so who cares that he promises that he can fix our economy. His words and promises mean absolutely nothing.

THIS IS FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT IS SAYING OBAMA AND REV.WRIGHT DIDNT OR HASNT DONE ANYTHING WRONG. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO TELL ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO LOST LOVED ONES AND WHOSE BODIES WERE NEVER RECOVERED IN 9-1-1,BECAUSE THEY WERE INCENERATED THAT THEY BECAUSE THEY WERE AMERICANS THEY ASK FOR IT OR IT WAS THEIR FAULT.
AND ALL THE FAMILIES OF FALLEN SOILDERS WHO HAVE DIED, AND ARE AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES FOR YEARS AT A TIME, AND HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO GO OVER THEIR AND PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE SO YOU CAN HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THIS. MY NEPHEW HAS BEEN THEIR 3 TIMES ONCE BECAUSE HE WAS SENT AND TWICE BECAUSE HIS TROOP WAS SENT BACK, AND HE VOLUNTARILY WITH HIS TROOP. WE WERE LUCKY HE CAME HOME BUT A LOT OF HIS TROOP DIDNT. THE PEOPLE OF 911 DID NOT ASK FOR IT. AND OUR TROOPS ARE OVER THERE EVENGING THEM. AND IF WE WERE NOT OVER THERE. THEY WOULD BE OVER HERE.
AND WHEN THAT QUACK SAYS GOD-DAMN AMERICA IN A CHURCH THAT OBAMA HAS BEEN A MEMBER OF FOR 17 YEARS, HES REALLY SAYING THAT TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE OF 9-1-1, YOU, ME, AND EVERYONE ELSE IN AMERICA. AND TO THE WOMEN AND MEN WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE EVERYDAY SO THAT QUACK CAN HAVE A CHURCH AND THE VERY FREEDOM TO SAY THAT CRAP.
AND YOU DONT BELIVE THEIRS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THAT?
AND HE CAN HOLLAR I DIDNT VOTE FOR THIS WAR. YOUR RIGHT __HE COULD NOT VOTE,__ HE WASNT HIGH ENOUGH TO VOTE ON IT........
FOR HIM TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THIS AND HE DID, IN AN INTERVIEW HE SAID HE HAD NEVE HEARD THIS BEFORE. THEN IN THE NEXT SENTENCE HE WAS ASK POINT BLANK IF YOU HAD HEARD THOSE STATEMENTS WOULD YOU LEAVE THE CHURCH? HIS RESPONSE WAS" HAD I HAVE HEARD THOSE STATEMENTS REPEADLY" I WOULD HAVE EXPRESS MY CONCERNS TO MINISTER WRIGHT AND LEFT THE CHURCH.SO HE DID HEAR IT HE JUST MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD THOSE SAME STATEMENTS REPEADLY.
HE MUST THINK THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FOOLS.
AND IT HAS BEEN ON ALL THE MAJOR NETWORKS FOR 5 DAYS NOW. AND I HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY.

Daniel, I heard nothing uplifting about Rev. Wright sermon. I am a Christian and if my minister would speak against our country, black people, Jewish people the way this minister did - I would not walk but run out of that church and take my kids with me. I would then sit them down and tell them that racism has no part in their lives nor our country. That would be the last day I ever attended that church. If I believed what the minister said was right - then I guess I would continue to attend and deny he had said anything wrong. Racism has no color these days nor does it have a higher education or position. You may be correct, there may be racism in churches these days, but I don't want my President attending one of them for the last 20 years.

Ann, Obama did not give that message..... And if he did when did he give that. When did you see or hear him display any hate toward the American people? Roy, no one has said anything about your issue because they cannot... the same as they cannot tell me what the Rev. said that was not true... They themselves are so full of hate they have been just dying to find a reason to hate Obama... I hope he can shut them all up tomorrow. because tonite has been a hard hit for sure... and Ann, once you take hope out of any situation in life, that life dies..... I believe still that Obama is the best hope for the American people....... Clinton had her chance 8 years ago..... she failed... and Mccain will totally eliminate the middle class..... what is left of it that is..... So all you wanna be Obama people ... still waiting to hear about what was not true in the Rev sermons.... go ahead.... i will check in tomorrow to see all your answers..... bed time for now! too much hate on this blog for sure.....

Steve - I[m sorry, but your a bigger fool than i thought b4. I must not be smart conversing with a "fool" so I guess your right about me. The truth could hit you in the head with a brick and you wouldn't get it. I'll look up a DR for you. Good meds will probably clear up whatever you got, bomaitis.

The President of the United States is the Chief Executive as well as the Commander in Chief. We need more than a fighter in the white house, we need a leader who can confidently set an economic policy that will enbolden businesses and consumers to participate in the economy. Rev. Wright won't make economic policy, health care decisions, foreign policy decisions. The real issue is what the candidates can do to make us better off tomorrow than we are today. Barack Obama will make us better off.

Debbie - You are remembering the most and worst evil out of Wrights mouth. How could I forget. Your so right. How do these people fear hearing words like that from someone in this country. Steve your a double triple dufus!

How will Obama do that Roy. Have you heard anything about his voting record, or might I say lack of it. He has NO CLAIM TO FAME. Just fancy words and promises and thats all your falling for. their just words. Actions are what count. How about I give you $1000.00. ha ha just Kidding. That will be your wonderful obama hussein

Corrine, I'll take that as a I have no real legitimate response, response.
One thing that I learned is the truth is the truth and it will always set you free. So when you mature into a nice young lady come back and talk to me.

Pam - We'll be sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for some more crap of obama hussein. I just can't wait. have to make some popcorn to watch the show. goody goody.
Oh year Pam, I guess the humping didn't happen. I saw him do quite a humping job on tv. How proud you must all be. I'll have to bring that up with my pastor on sunday. Hump your way to the Lord!

Steve - I usually only talk to grownups but made an exception with you tonight. Stick your pacifier in your iddy biddy mouth now and go nite nite.

For those of you that think Rev. Wright should not be held accountable for the various videos we've seen of him spreading hate because it's only a fraction of his career....I have one question for you

How many times is OK....How many times can a man beat a woman before it's considered abuse? How many times can a white kid call a black kid a ***** before it's considered racist? How many times can a parent beat up their child before it's considered abuse?

I would say ONCE is more than enough. I didn't realize Jeremiah Wright had a quota and if so what is it?

ONCE>>>ONCE>>>>ONCE>>> is enough to spread that type of hatred.

If I had gone to church and heard my priest make those type of comments against blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, germans, etc. I would have left and never come back.

Chicago has hundreds of churchs and Obama picked this one for a reason. I am not blaming him for Jermiah Wrights comments I am holding him accountable for contributing and helping to fund the spread of that hatred. By staying at that church he is saying it is okay. By contributing financially to that church for 20 years, he is helping them spread that filth.

For him to say that he doesn't think his church is controversial speaks volumes about his character and his judgment. The fact that his wife has also been talking badly about America publically on the campaign trail completes the picture.

I am also amazed by the arrogance of this man...I truly believe he thinks America is stupid.

He will be making a speech tomorrow....because he was too much of a coward to hold a press conference where reporters will ask him tough questions.

Instead he is going to give a speech and educate us all on racism and tell us we didn't see what we saw. The fact that he goes to the church officially disqualifies him to talk about racial equality.....and sound credible about it.

He wants us to ignore that he is trying to deceive us by pretending he didn't know what his pastor was saying at his church. Then why did he and Jeremiah Wright over a year ago discuss how they will have to distance themselves from each other if he made it to the primaries?

I don't know about you ...but I for one will not give this arrogant man a minute of my time tomorrow. I will not be treated like a kid and lectured on race by someone that attends a racist church.

One last thought....if McCaine or Clinton were in his shoes right now....the black community would be screaming loudly to take them off the ticket. I'VE HAD IT WITH THE DOUBLE STANDARD!

Obama is done!

Barack Obama will make Americans better off tomorrow than we are today by using our tax dollars for our benefit, not the benefit of special interest like KBR, Haliburton, and Blackwater USA. That's a great start. I suggest you combine my previous posts. There's alot of factual information in there.

Are we really responsible for what the preacher says on Sunday ?... I think the preacher was making a point that Obama can bring the United States together because he as a blackman or malotto citizen has faced cruelty by the ruling class and that because of this he can help right the wrongs of this society so little black boys and little black girls can join hands with little white boys and white girls and sing that old negro spiritual song, Free at last ,Thank god almighty were free at last. Just because we go to a church and listen to a sermon does not mean we agree with everything we hear, certainly the preacher does not talk about the same thing every sunday.
On the other hand this society certainly can't think that church is all about looking in the clouds and pretending nothing in our community is worth discussing in church. We pray for peace in the black church, preachers discuss the racist and oppressive behavior of our society and the hopes and dreams of our children and the blessings we hope are bestowed on them as it relates to the bible. We know that the news separates this society by race, gender and anything else just to maintain the status quo, but we pray for fairness, equality and justice for people all over the world. Most sermonious ideas come to preachers while watching the news, so go figure.

Steve, if you read previous accounts we dont even know if corrine is a man or a woman... and if he is a man.. then he must be gay because he said ealier something about his spouse. being a man...... one time he is a black man an next he is a woman...... go figure....... Debbie, do you think your government knew to be on the defense before 9-1-1....... that pastor did not take away anything from the people who died there.... not a damn thing...... nor did he speak any evil to the people fighting the war..... He was a Marine.... when have you ever known a Marine to speak badly about service people?.. why dont you listen again to the tidbit of that sermon... and tell me what you actually heard about those people.... i will read your response tomorrow.... enough stupidity for tonite... really ... shame on all of you for falling for the media hype!

You know, Steve, two or three of you have accused people who aren't voting for Obama, of predjudice. If we don't vote for Hillary, and vote for McCain, are we sexist? Or is it that their values don't line up with ours? Why, for pity's sake, does everything have to be about race????? Would you please grow up! This is what I meant' in this day and time, it is your own race that is fighting so hard against everyone accepting everyone. The Whities have come a long, long way! And many more are trying, but it is your own race that sabotoges everything. Stop shooting yourselves in your own foot!

I figured out Obama from the very beginning. In Pastor Wright's sermons he talks about all the killings when he dams America. They believe in the worst kind of killing. ABORTION!!! That Church believes in killing babies up to the 9th month of pregnancy.

He should just get out of the race now. There is no way a person that attends a hate filled so called Church for 20 years can ever unite this country as President. I wish the Media would have brought this out sooner. You had to know.

White people do not hate black people like they hate us. I've known some very nice black people. But, you run into more hate filled black people in the Chicago area than anywhere I've been in the country.

Hey Debbie - Steve the Dufus and Pam with blinders don't give a damn about the USA. They have a personal agenda. THey are the selfish ones who have personal issues that involve their own little worlds. They don't look at the greater picture or have the love for America that some of us have. We live in a selfish world and its sad but Debbie there are those and more than you think that think the world of your family and those that put their lives on the line so idiots like Pam and Steve can talk stupid. Don't be disheartened. Most people on these forums dislike obama and wright. Thanks to your family for their sacrifices. God Bless Them and God Bless America. My father also served on the front lines during WWII (people like steve would be crying and whiing for mommy if they had to be there) and my husband served during vietnam era burying those that served. Have Faith.

For the posters who say Obama shouldn't be found guilty of racism "by association" since the words of his venomous Pastor ("Uncle") aren't his, I have a question: If we had a smooth, nice-talking white presidential candidate who knew the leader of anti-black group (KKK for instance) for 20 years, and who called himself a member and would attend their meetings, maybe not those meetings with the most hateful rhetoric, but most of the meetings, maybe an annual BBQ and pot-luck as well, and he called the leader of this anti-black group his "Uncle" and he gave a lot of money to this anti-black group, and he brought his wife and his kids along to these meetings and willfully indoctrinated them with anti-black rhetoric so they could learn how to treat fellow black classmates...would you be alarmed at the proposition of this person becoming the President of your United States?

Pam, I know it's hard to accept the person you put your trust in turned out to be a phoney jerk.

But that's ok...life will go on.

If you need to stay in denial that's ok.....life will go on.

As for the rest of us who aren't afraid to see him for the phoney Obama is....life goes on....and we vote NO for Obama.

He's done...burnt toast my friend.

Yes, what a "church", abortion, gays, etc. I wonder how many know that Obama is as far to the left as he can get without falling off the end of the earth. Of course some will make excuses for that also. Why populate the earth with these children. Let those parishioners screw their brains out; just go and kill the fetus. Takes care of everything. Gosh Steve and Pam - you must be so proud. Of course they never have picked up a Bible so it doesn't surprise me in their views.

MC - Way to goooooooooooooooo! WOW. Excellent example. Take that you dufus and pam and ignorant. I think they put on their diepies and went to beddie.

EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA,I HAVE TO SAY AS A AFRO-AMERICAN I DO BELIEVE THAT OBAMA CAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS PASTOR STATEMENTS,THOSE ARE HIS WORDS NOT OBAMA,SO WHY SHOULD HE DO ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT TO SAY THESE ARE NOT MY VIEWS AND THAT
HE HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE PASTOR SERMONS.
I DO BELIEVE THAT SHAWN HANNITY HAS DEFINITELY BLOWN THIS STORM OUT OF CONTROL BECAUSE WHEN WE AS AFRO-AMERICAN GO TO CHURN IT IS TO HEAR THE WORD AND IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MAN,IT IS ABOUT HOW HE MOTIVATES YOU TO WANT TO GET CLOSE TO GOD.
I THINK THAT OBAMA SHOULD NOT BE GUILTY OF ANY KIND OF RACISM AT ALL BECAUSE OF HIS PASTOR VIEWS,WHICH IS NOT HIS VIEWS AND THERE
FORE HE SHOULD NOT BE LINKED TO THEM,THOSE ARE HIS PASTOR WORDS AND HE HAS SAID HE DOES NOT AGREE WITH THEM AND THAT SHOULD BE THE END OF THAT,WE SHOULD EXCEPT HIS RESPONSE AND NOT TRY TO READ ANYTHING ELSE INTO IT.
I BELIEVE THAT THE HANNITY WHO IS A KNOWN REPUBLICAN IS USING THE RACE CARD BECAUSE HE HAS MADE THIS ABOUT RACE,WE ARE IN AMERICA
AND WE ARE ALLOWED TO SAY HOW WE FEEL ABOUT OUR GOVERNMENT,ABOUT OTHER RACES,ABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL,WE ALL HAVE OPINIONS AND PASTOR WRIGHT EXPRESSED HIS AND IT IS TRUE HILLARY WILL NEVER BE BLACK AND WILL NEVER BE CALLED THE N WORD AND WILL TRULY NOT KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE BLACK AND THAT IS NOT A RACIST STATEMENT,IT IS JUST A STATEMENT OF FACT.
LOOK LETS FACE IT,THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT LIKE HANNITY WHO DO NOT WANT TO SEE A BLACK MAN BECOME PRESIDENT,AND
THEY ARE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS TO DERAIL HIS CHANCE TO BECOME
THE FIRST BLACK IF NOMINATED AND THAT IS WHAT THEY DO NOT WANT.
I AM HILLARY SUPPORTER,BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT TO MAKE OBAMA HAVE TO
DENOUNCE OR STATE THAT THESE ARE NOT HIS BELIEVE IS RIDICULOUS.
I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE CAN FIND SOMETHING ABOUT ANY PASTOR SERMON
THAT THEY DO NOT AGREE WIH IN WHOLE OR PART,AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY SHARE THOSE BELIEVES JUST BECAUSE HE PREACHED IT
AND THEY HEARD,ITS JUST A SERMON,SOME OF IT MAY TOUCH YOU AND SOME MAY NOT AFFECT YOU AT ALL.
GRETA ARE WE NOW GOING TO SENSOR WHAT PASTORS SAY IN CHURCH NOW,ARE WE NOW GOING TO PUNISH THE PASTORS FOR WHAT THEY SAY,

Barrack Obama spent his formative years in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world. In the Muslim world, USA is evil and he acquires that sense of belief at an early age leaving abroad. When his Mom divorced his Indonesian, muslim, stepfather, they settled in Hawaii. Hawaii is a very diverse culture and you can not feel any racism there even though Hawaiians share the same social injustice that Blacks are still agonizing up to this moment. Well, there is nothing we could do to reverse the social injustices created as a result of discovery and colonization. Every sectors of society/nation can tell horrible stories of injustices they faced with their colonizers. Guam can attest to that when almost all of the male Chamorros were eradicated by the Spaniards. But the key word here is perseverance. The past is past and we can not rewrite the mistakes that happened in the past. We all now creates our own destinies in life. For a black leader inciting its followers to dwell on the past will not move this country to reconciliation and healing.

Barrack Obama got attracted to Jeremiah Wright's preaching of hatred of America because he already had this on his frame of mind. He chose this church and the pastor, Jeremiah Wright, for certain reasons. It all connects the dot now after his wife, Michelle, made a radical comment about being proud for the first time in her adult life, to Oprah Winfrey's building a school in South Africa. Why would Oprah open up a school in South Africa when there are millions of underprevileged black children in America who needs good education? I am even more proud of Andre Agassi because his deeds makes sense. Andre Agassi did not see the color of the skin as a barrier. He helped the underprevileged children in his neighborhood by building a school, which of course most of the students are blacks. Andre can now see the fruit of his toil. When young blacks think they do not have the chance to improve their lives, Andre was there to lift them up. Shouldn't Oprah do the same if she were concerened for the welfare of the black community in the United States?

There is nothing Barrack Obama can do to reverse the trend right now. His sheepskin is uncovered and the true wolf came out. Did you see his face today in front of the camera delivering his speech? He is angry as a wolf can be ready to slaughter anybody. It is sad that many Americans got easily persuaded by Barracks rhetoric. The country got sold easily to empty promises and those who are still defending Barrack Obama does not deserve to live in this great country of the USA. A vote for Hillary now becomes a vote of patriotism. Hillary is the only leader who can bring sanity to the White House. If Bill was able to lead this country to prosperity, then Hillary can do more. The venomous snake will spew more venom tomorrow and it is something patriotic Americans need to observe.

Ok corrine, so you are a woman with a husband that served in viet nam... then you are or are not the same corrine that stated ealier you were a black man....?......... get real... my husband also served in viet nam.... and came home to a country that wanted to kick their teeth out.. and did nothing but call them baby killers...... they did their job over there.... and we all had relatives that served in WWll so what does that have to do with the sermons that were torn apart here tonite... the tidbits of sermons...... we all say God Bless American,,,,, and the fighting men and women... we all know people over there that we would love to see come home...... you think that congregation doesnt have people there..... good nite..... has no relevance to the topic at issue!

Darryl

No you aren't resposible for everything your preacher said. You however, can be held accountable for claiming you went to his church for 20 years and didn't know he was spreading hate. Because you are either telling a lie or you have SERIOUS JUDGMENT ISSUES.

If it was you no one would care....however, Obama is running for the President of the United States and one of his campaign themes has been to stress that he is a uniter. How can we trust him to unite our Nation when he attends a racist church? How can we trust hiim to run this country when he has SERIOUS JUDGMENT ISSUES? How can we trust him to be honest when he has shown that he is extremely deceptive.

Darryl.....he is NOT the one....don't waste your vote and your time.

Pinoyusa - you are advocating putting an impeached former President back into the White House; as an act of patriotism. Huh? Filipinos for Obama in '08!

White media like yourself and hannity need to visit vary faith based churches. I don't agree with everything that Rev.Wright preach. it would be nice to show the entire sermon. Based on what you have shown on tv, I would say that 60 percent of what he was saying was true from a black perspective.I am not a racist, I have faced racism many times, being a black female. I can't speak for white people because I have never been white.I think Obama is trying to bridge the gap between the races. You deny the facts that his mother was a white woman. His father was a african. this infuriate many white men and woman like yourself.the bible states that we are all God's children.the truth is the truth , I can't be responsible for, how other feel about whites and slavery. I don't believe everything that my spirtual leader teaches . I do have a mind of my own.I read the bible for myself. I am a professional and view life with an unbais opinion. i look at the real issues facing all american., not what taught inside of church on sunday. freedom of speech is how you maintain your job. I have never attend an all white church, I do like Joel Osteen sermon on tv . I don't like TD Jakes and many whites adores him. There are many prejudice white and black people/ preachers in this world, many church member is not racist.On hand many are. They attend church weekly. Look at the kkk klans. they killed many people and taught their children hatred. I find your news report offense and demeaning about Rev Wright. What about ours boys/men dieing daily in iraq and the gas prices continue to raise. You as American is raising issues about a candidate's pastor. where is the real news reporter. homeless, joblessness, abuses and no health care, and illegals gets better benefits then american who has work their entire life for and at retirement or disability they have a hard time getting what is rightful needed for basic living. Illegals get everything and has not paid into these entitlements programs. they applies within a month of arrival in america. I say wake up news people. report real news. come out of denial. Some american remains racist , Obama is proving this in his run for president. He is biracial, he is white and black, his parent was mother white and father black african. So why is he called black, is it too offensive to acknowledge that his mother was white. please answer this question on your show; since you have so many black friends and you are so offended by Rev.Wright sunday sermon. Let's be real, when was the last time you attend a black church for sunday sermon ? Your network only wants to report the selective speech for america to be miss inform about Obama.

Correction: The spelling should have been living abroad, instead of leaving abroad.

someone used my name above - i asked who and got no response - liked to know who that creep was!

CK

You said the following: (HILLARY WILL NEVER BE BLACK AND WILL NEVER BE CALLED THE N WORD AND WILL TRULY NOT KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE BLACK AND THAT IS NOT A RACIST STATEMENT,IT IS JUST A STATEMENT OF FACT.)

You are right Hillary has never been called a n******, however, she has been called a n****** lover and a w**** because of all the work she has done on behalf of the black community. However, Jeremiah Wright and that church chose not to acknowledge her self-sacrifice on their behalf.....they chose to focus on the fact that she was white.

Obama CHOSE to attend a church that is known for being separatist and pushes hatred towards whites and jews. He can and should be held accountable for that.....because as President we need someone that will look out for everyones interests not just the black community.

Mr. Hafiz, what would you know? Are you an American? If so, for how long? I said I wasn't prejudiced. I forgot, I am prejudiced, but it has nothing to do with black or white. I am prejudiced against Muslims. I am assuming that is who you are. I am not prejudiced against any other religion. But I have lived in the Middle East and seen and "felt" first hand, how you men treat women. I have read exerpts from the Koran. I know that lies to Americans is almost a sacrement to you. I know that you come over here, and woo unsuspecting women with your money (God only knows how you got it), and then steal their children if they refuse to convert. I know that you say you love America and then try to change it. You insist on having things done in America according to your likes etc. If I tried that in your country, or even an American man, you have them imprisoned. I know that you are liars and hypocrites. I know you lie when you say you love Jesus too. Am I profiling? You bet I am! Now, it is possible that you are in the one or two percentile that is upstanding, and innocent, but I doubt it. I am very cynical concerning you, Mister, because I have learned to be. So I really am not interested in the least, in your opinions about MY country. I pray you open your eyes and open your heart and let God come in. See, I don't hate you. I hate your religion. I know God; (I don't mean Allah), loves you and has a plan for your life if you'd only be willing, and in that case, I would thank God for your salvation.

First I heard, that Senator Obama would not place his hand over his heart during National Anthem while with Senator Hillary and Governor Richardson with their hand over their heart. Secondly, the wife of Senator Obama Michelle gave a speech that for the first time that she is proud of America. During the interview of Senator Obama with Aderson Cooper, he denounced Reverence Wrights, and he clearly indicated that he is not walking away from the church.

The following days, the new pastor and minister of the church in which Obama had been attending for the last 20 years, defended the legacy of Reverence Wrights and that his sermons was taken out of context.

How could Senator Obama not walk away from a church that makes racial comments to white people that is so hostile to american particularly the white people???

Sen. Obama is an out and out liar. He should withdraw and he cannot say anything at this point to change these facts! The only reason he has the delegate count that he has is because the voters of the previous caucasses and primaries were not given the opportunity to see what this man is truly like. He is completely non-credible and is an inadequate and unreliable candidate for the presidency of the United States of America! Please continue covering this shocking news about the Abominable Obamas!!!!!! The current reverend of the Trinity Church has stated that this is nothing more than character assassination.....not true! We now know that the current pastor supports the views of Rev. Wright!!!! This is something that we cannot have in our White House leading this country. As far as we know, the Obama family continues to support this church and the new minister just as they did the previous minister! I am a registered Republican looking for a decent Democratic candidate and hope to vote for Hillary in the general election.....on the other hand, since I am a Floridian, why should I vote Democrat when according to them we don't count??? Think I'll vote Republican!!!

Barack Obama has more votes than either Hillary Clinton or John McCain. The will of the people is speaking volumes.

Roy - good point, so your leaving?

Pinoyusa...what the hell do you know about Chamorros on Guam. Are you a Chamorro? No, you are a Filipino, and a sellout at that. Talk about your own race only...if you think you can bring up others. And to discuss Obama's time in Indonesia is ridiculous. You are such a sellout to your people. Oprah vs. Andre Agassi...that's your argument about Barack. You, my non-friend, are an idiot! And don't let your racism show any longer. It's sick!

Hey Pam - maybe i'm a man/woman - black on top/white on the bottom. Some of you dufus are causing me to drink

Not one poster has disputed the facts I raised about Rev. Wright's comments being immaterial to our country's economic condition. The Obama campaign is focused and on message. Taxpayer funded trips to Iraq won't change the state of our economy. Anyone considering McCain for President had better start insisting he lay out a competent plan for America's economic future. Rev. Wright won't make economic policy, health care decisions, foreign policy decisions. The real issue is what the candidates can do to make us better off tomorrow than we are today. Barack Obama will make us better off.

Roy - with all you bs out did you get 27 people to vote your way - gunpoint?

All you speak about is the economy. Its so late. You must not have a job to get up for. Are you on public assistance?

Greta,

I saw your show this evening, 17 March 2008 and wanted to make a comment on Obama's pastor.

In my opinion, politicians manipulate voters in a number of ways. This is a clear example. He (Obama) realized that the black vote in Northern Illinois was crucial in his run for Senator and he attached himself to this pastor and his church....now that this decision is causing him difficulties he tries to distance himself and yet stay connected at some degree, again for political reasons.

In his defense, he is riding the same fence his oponents (Clinton and McCain) are doing the same...which is dsgusting to me. None of these three candidates represent my views or opinions..so once agin we are voting for the lesser of evils. America is in a very sad state of affairs, God help us all! Shame on Obama, Clinton and McCain!

EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA,I HAVE TO SAY AS A AFRO-AMERICAN I DO BELIEVE THAT OBAMA CAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS PASTOR STATEMENTS,THOSE ARE HIS WORDS NOT OBAMA,SO WHY SHOULD HE DO ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT TO SAY THESE ARE NOT MY VIEWS AND THAT
HE HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE PASTOR SERMONS.
I DO BELIEVE THAT SHAWN HANNITY HAS DEFINITELY BLOWN THIS STORM OUT OF CONTROL BECAUSE WHEN WE AS AFRO-AMERICAN GO TO CHURN IT IS TO HEAR THE WORD AND IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MAN,IT IS ABOUT HOW HE MOTIVATES YOU TO WANT TO GET CLOSE TO GOD.
I BELIEVE THAT THE HANNITY WHO IS A KNOWN REPUBLICAN IS USING THE RACE CARD BECAUSE HE HAS MADE THIS ABOUT RACE,WE ARE IN AMERICA
AND WE ARE ALLOWED TO SAY HOW WE FEEL.

I AM HILLARY SUPPORTER,BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT OBAMA SHOULD BE GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS THAT HIS PASTOR MADE,THAT IS RIDICULOUS TO HOLD SOMEONE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT HIS PASTOR MAY PREACH ABOUT,BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE THERE TO HEAR THE
SERMON,SO THEY CAN FEEL INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED TO REACH OUT TO GOD.
I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE CAN FIND SOMETHING ABOUT ANY PASTOR SERMON

Corrine - you've posted more than 20 times and you haven't rebutted one fact that I've posted. In answer to your question. I register voters by telling them the truth. Obama for President!

Pam: Gosh your a damn idiot and a fool to boot. If you think our brave men and women don't count, well I'd gladly pay for a ticket to anywhere but here in this Country! You don't deserve to live here. You should get down on your knees and thank not only your husband but every man and woman in the armed forces. You MAKE ME SICK. Your a vicious, hateful, FOOL. Your also dangerous in your own way with your over the top radical puke. I wish people like you and that idiot Roy would move to Russia, Australia, United Kingdom. JUST GO!
THE ONLY THING YOU TO GREEDY PIECES OF C..P CARE ABOUT IS MONEY. GET JOBS!

A vote for Hillary becomes a vote for Marxism. Are you Hillary supporters as blind as Obama supporters?

Roy - you've state that so many times my eyes are crossed. does your retoric go any further or is just money and how many idiots you can talk into voting for Borack. You probably get some poor idiot drunk and talk them into it. They just can't be in their right minds.
Your the kind of booring fool who wants to be right. yeh, your right, your just right about everything, your just a right kind of guy, right right right. I got it Roy. I think we got it 2 hours ago. We're all falling asleep or as I am leaving because you and Pam are too boring to listen to any longer. Go getum little man. You two are better than sleeping pills.

SHAME ON YOU BARRAK OBAMA, I dont belive for a second you had no idea of everything your sprirtual leader, uncle, good friend said and belives, your as bad as George Bush when he had no idea gas prices were expected to hit $4.00 a gal. I can see you only like to play the race card when its favor.By the way why is it when Rush Limbagh makes a comment about an African American he has to make a large donation, i think its only right for Rev. Wright to do the same. In my opnion thats whats fair he should contribute to her campain for being so ignorint then to some 9/11 funds and i could go on but im sure you get the picture. I also belive Michelle always felt the same way as Rev. Wright as i read her theesis from Printston. So not only do we have proof Obamas Rev. belives this crap but also his wife. So what does that say about him. So if i were him i wouldnt be judging anyone on having good judgment. Another thing why can he wear traditinal clothing in Kenya and not wear an American flag pin Furthermore i think its too bad we have to even have so call white/black churches hopfully one day we can unite. But not as long as there are Rev such as Wright i know we wont. I hope Obama does the right thing and resigns to give us a chance. However if he dosnt and he wins i will in no way ever vote for him. he in my opinion is an uncle tom. or uncle Wright. One more thought why is it Oprah left the church?????? Oh yeah she strongly rejects the comments of Rev. Wright.......

Diane: this guy Roy the little man will put you right to sleep. AND he's boring. I think Pam passed out or left and there again your very very lucky! You have too much common sense which I'm afraid little roy just don't have so I'd try a forum with some intelligent conversation. If he keeps talking just keep saying "yeh Roy your right" "absolutely Roy - thats the way little man" it will make him happy. he's way past his bedtime and really into the ecomomy so I think Diane personally he doesn't work, probably waiting for obama to take over and give him one of the billion promises of money he's spewed forth. Good Luck Diane! You'll need it. One things good he'll put you right to sleep!

BLACKS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH EQUAL RIGHTS...THEY AREN'T SATISFIED UNTIL THEY TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTS OF WHITE PEOPLE. AND THIS IS A REAL GOOD EXAMPLE OF IT.... THANKS TO YOU "CRY IN YOUR BEER... BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS. YOU HAVE BEEN SO CONCERNED WITH WHAT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT, THAT YOU HAVE MADE PEOPLE AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH. ALL POLITICALLY CORRECT DOES IS TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH. I!!!!! WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY RIGHTS, AND I COULD NOT BE LESS CONCERNED WITH WHAT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT. THE BLACKS IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT TEACH HATE FOR GENERATIONS. THEY WON'T TEACH THEIR CHILDREN TO RESPECT THE LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY. THEY WON'T TEACH THEM TO HAVE ONLY THE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO CARE FOR. THE ONLY THING THEY DO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN IS THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS THE WHITE MANS FAULT. I DETEST ANYONE THAT WON'T STAND ON THEIR OWN TWO FEET AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS. AND I MIGHT REMIND THESE UNHAPPY BLACKS THAT IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR SLAVERY, THEY WOULD BE RUNNING AROUND AFRICA IN A LOIN CLOTH, CHASED BY THE HOOTOOS. HOW DO YOU THINK OPRAH WOULD LIKE THAT? IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS COUNTRY, THEN GET OUT!!!

I was just waiting... Waiting to see what would come out about Obama that would be used to derail the movement that he clearly has started. Say what you may, but America has not seen this level of unity since perhaps "9/11". I'm going to go ahead and make an assumption and say that this does not sit well with a lot of people. Thus something had to be done- a dividing story had to be told- Enter Fox News /Jeremiah Wright. We as African Americans (generally) are a very forgiving people. Like most other Americans we just want to get along and live out our constitutional right to pursue happiness. Yes- we are willing to forget and "get over" the things that happened 200 yrs. ago -sure!- but seemingly everytime we come to the point of forgiveness we are confronted with an occurence of set backs that reminds of us not 200 yrs. ago but just 40 yrs. ago or 20 yrs. ago. So many of you sound like you love this country very much and I believe many of you mean well however, I would just like to clarify that "love my country" means to love the people in this country ALONG with the values and freedoms that we share. Also to "love my country" is to accept all its faults and not deny them. That being said- I LOVE the hell out of this country its a beautiful place but I accept it is not a perfect place (Google: Tuskegee Experiment). So as far as being equal: we as black people want nothing more than to be on a level playing field, we have proven time and time again that when the playing field is leveled WE CAN COMPETE...
"United we stand divided we fall" - Americans need to stop competition amongst ourselves and maybe try competing with China!!!

see there corrine or whatever you are. that is exactly what i am talking about .. you are such an asshole you think you heard me say they are not worth anything... when i in fact did not say that at all. you stupid ****, i love my husband and what he did for this country ... it was assholes like you who treated them like shit when they got home..... so you go dump your stupid shit on someone else........ and that is what your ignorant kind is trying now to do to Obama........... you stick your dick back in the dirt where it belongs.... I know what my husband did for our country... what the heck have you ever done....... support Clintons!

It's sad that only fox news looked into Obama HUSSEIN and broke the news before any one. What took so long ??
Obama HUSSEIN want to the church for 20 years because Obama HUSSEIN believes in the same things as the pastor ="TEACHER" does and if Obama HUSSEIN didn't believe he would not go for 20 years "Hello" Obama HUSSEIN hates white people, that would be called raises! I'm proud to be white and oh yea I'm also proud that my WHITE president who fought for black people and my White great great Grandfather who died fighting to end slavery that the black people started by selling their own people, like they still do to this day in parts of the world !! Obama HUSSEIN friend is a man who bombed the USA, Obama HUSSEIN's wife sounds just like the so called pastor =TEACHER when she said she has NEVER has been proud of the USA only until now that her husband is running ?? She sounds a lot like their SO CALLED pastor "Teacher"that Her and her husband has listen to for 20 years and got taught by for 20 years!! I love the USA my son is in the Navy right now,My great great grand father fought,My Grand father fought and My dad fought for freedom.
My God doesn't Hate a person because of a color, why would he since he created all colors! My God wouldn't hold on to hateful things from the pasted. Every color had hateful things happen to them not just black people ! My God would not try to put people against each other, Love is in the bible more then any other word, My God is strong and stands up to any one who lie's, miss lead's and the list goes on..like Obama has done to us, I love all colors of people, Sorry we the people of the USA are NOT stupid Obama HUSSEIN You will never get my vote! And I will never watch Opra again unless she pulls away from Obama HUSSEIN. Judgment ?? Obama HUSSEIN does not have any good judgement !! Your Actions Obama HUSSEIN are wrong and are louder then Words in your nice little speech that are filled with lies!!! I want all the votes to be recalled they voted not knowing the history of Obama HUSSEIN. I was thinking of voting for Obama I'm glad I didn't vote yet! Obama HUSSEIN dad left because he was a loser of a dad that happens to white children also, I'm so tried of hearing how slavery caused all the black people living today their problems when they didn't go though it their great great grand parents did, if every one cried about what their great great grand parents want though every human on earth would be crying. I'm white and some black people don't like me but yet they never even meet me, one person is Obama HUSSEIN and his pastor
Stop using that to try to justify your bad choices in life or to get money it does work any more.
Any person that is against a person or people just because of their color of their skin is wrong. There is bad black people, white people, yellow people, red people, brown people. The person actions and judgements are what people need to be called out on not the color so stop using the color thing Obama HUSSEIN to try to win. I pray obama HUSSEIN you start reading and studying the bible and ask God to help you find the real truth, instead of listening to a moron for 20 years who has no clue about God he only has a heart filled with hate. Jesus is not black or white he took on a Jew body. Read the book!!
I have a lot of black friends that I love and they love me and I have a lot of black children that call me mom who love me I have one black child that lives with my family and I right now I love him. What about your Children Obama HUSSEIN not good judgement at all to seat there for 20 year and then to let your children hear all the hate speeches! But now you don't go to that church because it doesn't make you look good to the public now that your running?? What are you teaching your children and who are teaching your children ?? When they seat there in the church of HATE ??
Thank you fox news and please keep us up dated.
Please push for a recall on Obama HUSSEIN votes.

Pam: I'm a woman. See I was right, you are stupid. Based on your language I wouldn't rank your IQ on the high side. Maybe you should watch your rantings on here. I hope you get kicked off. There are some rules here, but I suppose for you uneducated, that wouldn't be something you'd know about or understand. Gee Pam, how personal, talking about my penis?? I don't have a penis. Do you! Your poor poor hubby. You probably do have the balls in the family. Obama sucks Pam and gee wilakers, golly gee, mucracky, so do you.

Pam - I called you a fool before. That description stands. It will be proven when everyone sees your out of control ranting. No wonder you like obama and wright. They hate the military and they sound just like you. Get some therapy. I'd go tomorrow. Some good medication will help you. Such a potty mouth. YUP, you'd fit into that so called church for sure!!!!!

R u all serious? where is the intelligent bloggers? Fight for America not fight Americans!

When George Bush stated on Friday that a government bailout would be a mistake, and then on Sunday authorized Henry Paulson to bailout Bear Stearns, the leading issue of this campaign came into sharp focus. Do you want a President that helps the wealthy at the expense of the working and middle class. This nonsense about Rev. Wright is a waste of time! People who are struggling financially don't have time to waste. That's why Barack Obama has more votes than the other candidates now, and will continue to build support toward November.

Oh yes for your infomation Pam - Wright was speaking about 911 being an inside job, that "God Dam America". DUH! what do you think you moron what that does to the familys and soliders who are fighting for your right to rave like a lunatic. Your a nut, and need some therapy. Your full of hate yourself and YES MOST DEFINITELY BELONG WITH WRIGHT & OBAMA! All your sick and stinkin views coincide with them BIG TIME. Why don't you take a pill and go to bed. I got to get out of here! Listening to your 10 point IQ mind has given me a headache.

i had a couple more thoughts id like to say i am sorry that slavery is a part of our history it was a horible thing but id like to point out a couple of things first blacks were not the only race to come to america as slaves second the natives of your own country were the ones selling eachother yes americans were buying them but the blacks were selling the blacks the irish were selling the irish and soforth this country has come along way and its about time we start looking forward not back and we can not do that with someone like Obama so please vote carefully and there aint no doubt i love this land GOD BLESS THE USA

Although Bush did say that -The Federal Reserve sponsored the bailout. But u r right the middleclass suffers again- most of the employees had the vast majority of their 401k's tied into company stock. The Federal Reserve isn't a government entity, if you want to find out how this country is really ran read up on The Federal Reserve it will shock you!!!

cwjd - if you think all bloggers are intelligent your at the wrong forum. There are some other good ones, but all are gone and sleeping. Good night and good luck. They have jobs. I'm retired and tired. Roy and Pam are here; oh lucky you.have lots of fun cwjd!

oops - have to include erin in that normal intelligent category. your not alone. good night.

Corrine thanks for the heads up I will waste my time somewhere else. Goodnight and hopefully I'll catch you tomorrow

I WOULDN'T MIND A BLACK BECOMING PRESIDENT...EXCEPT THAT IT WILL TURN THE COUNTRY INTO DETROIT.

I'am a Republican ,and would have vote for Obama before Mitt Romney. I do favor McCain ,but there is no way Obama can stand up there ,and say he never knew any of these comments made by his pastor of 20 years his inspiration. His spiritual guide. It just makes him look like a liar.

Everyone here would be surprised at the response that I'm seeing from people of all races to the continuing coverage of Rev. Wright. People are angry at the Bush administration, and feel that the administration is trying to fool them into getting rid of the candidate who best represents their interests. As a result Obama supporters are increasing, even among White male blue collar voters in Pennsylvania. I'll be registering voters again today. Be well everyone, God Bless America!

EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA,I HAVE TO SAY AS A AFRO-AMERICAN I DO BELIEVE THAT OBAMA CAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS PASTOR STATEMENTS,THOSE ARE HIS WORDS NOT OBAMA,SO WHY SHOULD HE DO ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT TO SAY THESE ARE NOT MY VIEWS AND THAT
HE HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE PASTOR SERMONS.
I DO BELIEVE THAT SHAWN HANNITY HAS DEFINITELY BLOWN THIS STORM OUT OF CONTROL BECAUSE WHEN WE AS AFRO-AMERICAN GO TO CHURN IT IS TO HEAR THE WORD AND IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MAN,IT IS ABOUT HOW HE MOTIVATES YOU TO WANT TO GET CLOSE TO GOD.
I BELIEVE THAT THE HANNITY WHO IS A KNOWN REPUBLICAN IS USING THE RACE CARD BECAUSE HE HAS MADE THIS ABOUT RACE,WE ARE IN AMERICA
AND WE ARE ALLOWED TO SAY HOW WE FEEL.
LOOK LETS FACE IT,THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT LIKE HANNITY WHO DO NOT WANT TO SEE A BLACK MAN BECOME PRESIDENT,AND
THEY ARE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS TO DERAIL HIS CHANCE TO BECOME
THE FIRST BLACK IF NOMINATED AND THAT IS WHAT THEY DO NOT WANT.
I AM HILLARY SUPPORTER,BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT OBAMA SHOULD BE GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS THAT HIS PASTOR MADE,THAT IS RIDICULOUS TO HOLD SOMEONE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT HIS PASTOR MAY PREACH ABOUT,BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE THERE TO HEAR THE
SERMON,SO THEY CAN FEEL INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED TO REACH OUT TO GOD.
I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE CAN FIND SOMETHING ABOUT ANY PASTOR SERMON
THAT THEY DO NOT AGREE WIH IN WHOLE OR PART,AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY SHARE THOSE BELIEVES JUST BECAUSE HE PREACHED IT
AND THEY HEARD,ITS JUST A SERMON,SOME OF IT MAY TOUCH YOU AND SOME MAY NOT AFFECT YOU AT ALL.
GRETA ARE WE NOW GOING TO SENSOR WHAT PASTORS SAY IN CHURCH NOW,ARE WE NOW GOING TO PUNISH THE PASTORS FOR WHAT THEY SAY,
BECAUSE A HAND FULL OF PEOPLE DON"T LIKE WHAT THE PASTOR SAYS.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO AMERICA,WHAT HAPPEN TO FREE SPEECH,WE ARE
ALLOWED OUR SAY,AND OTHERS DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE,BUT WE CAN NOT
AFFORD TO SAY THAT A CONGREGATION WHO LISTENS TO HIS PASTOR SERMON NECESSARYLY AGREES WITH OR CONDONE IT,INSTEAD IT IS WHAT
IT IS A SERMON.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DONT KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS FOR A YEAR NOW. I BELIVE IT WAS THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT RAN A STORY ON THIS FIRST (I COULD BE WRONG ON THEM BEEING FIRST) SINCE THEN SEVERAL OTHER PAPERS AND MAGAZINES HAVE RAN THIS STORY. AND HAS BEEN ON A COUPLE OF PROGRAMS CNN AND FOX FOR 2 OF THEM. IT HAS ONLY IN THE LAST 7 DAYS BEEN SHOWED BY THE CHURCHES ON DVDS.
IT BECAME REAL AND VERY POWERFUL WHEN PEOPLE SEEN AND HEARD IT.
I MYSELF HAVE BEEN FOLLING THIS FOR A WHILE AND WHAT FOX IS REPORTING TODAY IS TRUE.
AND IN ALL HONESTY FOX NEWS, CNN, AND CSNBC, HAS HAD HIM ON A PEDESTAL AND HAS RAN THE BUS OVER CLINTON. ONLY SINCE THE CDS HAVE BECAME PUBLIC HAVE THEY REALLY STARTED TO RUN THE BUS OVER OBAMA.
NOW IT ALL GOES TO HIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN REMEMBER, ITS ON HOPE,MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION THE FIRST TIME, AND BRINGING THIS COUNTRY TOGETHER. THEN THE CDS APPEARED AND IT WHOLE HEARTED GOES TO HIS CARACTER. THE QUESTION IS DOES HE PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES? WHEN YOU GO TO A CHURCH FOR 17 YEARS AND YOU HAVE A PASTOR ON THE PULPIT TALKING ABOUT THE SEX LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE, AND HUMPPING THE PULPIT IN FRONT OF CHILDREN, QUOTING "MALCOM X", "WILL NOT WEAR A U.S. FLAG," " WONT PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART," AND HIS WIFE MAKES COMMENTS LIKE SHE DID. EVEN THO OBAMA WASNT DOING THE TALKING HE STILL STAYED, AND IS STILL A MEMBER OF THIS CHURCH, AND IT DOES MAKE YOU WONDER IS HIS HEART AND CAMPAIGN TRUTHFUL?
NOW HAD HE LEFT THE CHURCH WHEN A LOT OF THESE THINGS WERE FIRST SAID, I REALLY DONT THINK THERE WOULD BE THIS MUCH TALK.
THE MEDIA IS REALLY ONLY REPORTING WHAT WE AS VOTING AMERICANS SHOULD AND HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW.

AND BY THE WAY HAVE YALL HEARD ABOUT NEW YORKS NEW MAYOR. HE HAS NOW ADDMITTED TO HAVING AN AFFAIR SINCE 1999, HE HASNT EVEN BEEN ON THE JOB 24 HOURS YET.

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

Both Obama and Michelle are highly educated people. For them to act as though they were unaware of Rev. Wright's tirades just isn't believable. Nobody should hold Obama responsible for Rev. Wright's actions. We should all however, hold Obama responsible for his response to these actions. All American should be alarmed and outraged at this.

Something else to think about.
Why did Obama go to vote on a yes or no votes but didn't vote more then half the time just marks present ? Is that because he doesn't think for himself ? He has an opportunity to stand up and vote to CHANGE things but doesn't ?
That's not a leader!!
How many other things don't we know about this man asking for the most important job there is?
I want his resume no more of his lie's.

"He says he will bring people together" but yet for 20 years was taught to hate
And agreed with his Teacher= Pastor because he didn't leave the hate church there are a lot of church's out there, No he stayed!

"He said he didn't know a couple of people that well" but yet know we found out Yes he does.
One guy he knows bombed the USA!
The other one he know is a slum lord!
How much more is there that we don't know ??
And why isn't the other news channels reporting it and looking into to this?
Why don't they want to let every one to know about it? It's a big story
But yet they bypass it?
What is Opra going to do now she knows ?Why isn't know one asking her?
Didn't she give Obama a lot of money??
I'm grateful for Fox New and keep up the great work.

To Carolyn from Oklahoma. You are wrong about Hillary being behind these vidioes. Hannity and Fox brought this to front. Shame on you for blaming another woman for Obama's mistakes. Obama has been lying to all America. Hillary has been upfront on everything. Agin, Obama has not used good judgement. I would never trust him to be commander in chief.

Marietta from Ohio

If you guys were working on this story since last March, why did you wait until he all but locked up the nomination before you actually put it on the air for people to see? Now McCain is all but guaranteed the Presidency!!! I'll bet if you did another poll from the states that had already voted, they would be screaming for a do over. And another thing, if you guys would go to some of the actual people web sites like Hillary speaks for me and look at the video of of one ofthe Texas caususes of the black woman screaming at the young white girl trying to vote. You would see how this is really going in the trenches. But as usual i guess you report what you guys want us to know and when we are to know it.

In my opinion Pastor Wright has ruined Obamas chance of going to the White House. My question is why would he say all these things ? Is he so ignorant that he didnt know this would hurt Obama politically ? Although i am glad it is out in the open . I will not be voting for Obama the 20 year attendant of this church that claims he had no idea that his pastor and mentor was rasist and felt this way about America. Come on Obama most of us are not that ignorant !

Actually people get your facts straight it was FIRST ABC NEWS last Thursday that bought and aired the videos before Fox. This is not coming just from Fox. The NY Times have written plenty on this subject for a year. Thats right the liberal bewspaper. This is not coming from Hillary it's been out there loooooooong before Hillary's campiagn could do anything. Plus The DVD's were not shot without permission and aired they were burned and sold by trinity Church so if Obama supporters have a problem go take it up with Trinity. They are screwing your candidiate.

darlene - Good question, why would Wright say these things and burn and sell a DVD with it on it to come back and hurt Obama. I do not think because of stupidity. Obama's campaign knew how hot the Wright subject was last year when they asked him not to come to the presidential announcement. I know they had a disccusion http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/30/us/politics/30obama.html?pagewanted=all, read this link from the NY Times. I am sure his campaign was watching the church for any negative spin. It's all about really believeing in the rant. When someone is a liberal elitist they think they are 100% right in saying these things and they don't care what others think. Unfortunately to win the white house comments like this will take you down as it is Obama. Obama for a year has not discussed his pastor but suddenly has too because his ratings are dropping. When you spend so much of your time this past two weeks defending yourself then you know you have a problem. This will not go away like the McCain story because there is truth to it as is all the other friends Mr. Obama has.

The fact that there are ANY supporters of Obama posting on here says that there are free people out there that should be institutionalized! I find it almost impossible to believe that any sane person who cares about this country could support Obama now,
People like Roy who posted several times here are truly delusional and most likely unable to support themselves in the real world.
The sad thing is that the nominating process has probably reached the point of no return.
If the super delegates put Hillary in the blacks will riot and loot and if they don't put her in the Dems lose big time to McCain.
Obama is burned toast!!!

I do not believe with anything Obama and his wife says.
This explains what Obama wife said when she said FOR THE FIRST TIME I HAVE BEEN PROUD OF AMERICA.
This has ben preached to her by Rev Wright.
It appears to me that Obama believes Rev Wright and his views is passed on through Obama.
I find Obama very arrogrant, with a bad attitude toward white people.

Boracks speech is 20 years too late. He has too many issues about slavery, etc. to be able to clearly run this USA. We have to much on the line.
He said we've probably heard from our Church's things that we didn't like from our Ministers, Priest's etc. WRONG! I'm 60 years old and Never Ever in ANY Church I've been to have I ever heard such hate about blacks, whites, or AMERICA. How sorry that he actually believes we've heard the same. That in itself is a clear vision of what he thinks. He speaks of just a few times that Wright spewed his filth. Once would be too many.
Obama is done with and anyone out there who can't see through those pretty words will be paying for that vote come November!
The past should be the past. We have too much happening in this world right now to worry about. His focus will not be where it should.
I agree with #648 - thats a realllly great concern. He's not even a good Senator AND NOT BECAUSE HE'S BLACK!
God Bless America and God Help Us!

Hi There,

I watched Barack Obama's speech this morning was quite interesting. After the speech this morning (which he admitted being in the church) and he knew about the hate this minister is preaching just made if more clear that he is not to be trusted. He allowed his children to witness this bigotery. Young adults made to hate white and other races, molded at this church is not right. There was no mention by the journalist that he denied being there and being part of this hate and that he did not know anything about it. He has lied so many times about Rezko and the contributions, the amount and the relationship. He will be next in line at that court house in Chicago. He lied about Nafta and Canada.

MSNBC, CNN, some of the journalists have said how wonderflul his speech was and that it was comparable to Martin Luther King, shall we all send CNN and MSNBC baby wipes? Now wait just a minute.. This is an insult to Martin Luther King. He is nothing like Martin Luther King, King was a great man not a thug and a lier and these jounalist should be ashamed of themselves.

There is nothing he can say that will make me change my mind. He has showed his true self by his actions, words are cheep! He has lied his way out of issues time after time, well he is not going to lie his way out this one, and he wil be more scrutinized and anylized than ever. This is just another crafted move by some very gifted speech writers. This is how I feel about it and I will not be silenced.

Today,March 18,2008 Mr. Obama stated,"I could no more disown him(Rev. Wright) than I could disown my white grandmother...or...the black community." Further, Obama states publicly that he has heard diatribe sermons in the past. My question is simple. Why did Obama not address this controversy before it became a firestorm? Clearly, this is not the type of "mentor" or judgement I want in the White House!

HEY ALL! WRIGHT ENDORSED BORACK HUSSEIN IN CHURCH. HOW COME WRIGHT HAS TAX EXEMPT STATUS. WHERES THE SEPERATION OF CHURCH & STATE.
I THINK THE IRS SHOULD START INVESTIGATING THIS GUY!

If anyone does not think this guy is dangerous after all of Pastor Wright's exposed hate of white people that this guy must know about and lied about you need to stay away from the voting booths. He cannot handle this problem. What is he going to do about the tanking economy? What is he going to do when Iran makes a move if he is the president? Talk to his mentor? Gee that would work well. Maybe he would just bomb our allies and talk to our enemies. Definitely not presidential material. Pat

Hello!! If I were planning on running for the President of America, and I was sitting in a church and became aware of extremism against America, I'd be outta there sooo fast. Regardless of what I thought personally about my so called pastor, if I truly wanted to be trusted and respected , I would be soo ignorant to not disassociate. In his speech, Obama said he was aware of some of the attitudes of his pastor. He admitted he was aware. Come on--- How can anyone --- who's ancesters died for this country ever -- say to --ask God to curse our country??? OK!!?--- Jesus said you have heard it said thou shall not kill- I say to you that if you Hate your brother you are a murderer -- and you know that no murderer has eternal life(1 John: 3:15) & (1John 4: 20& 21) If a man says I love God and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from him, That he who loves God love his brother also. What kind of (church??) teaches hate?? reverse KKK??
They tried to say the were Christians too-- What happened to the values Martin Luther King taught?? My family is white middle America and I remember everything stopped in our home as we listened to his beautiful speech. He touched hearts and changed the world. He truly had the goodness of God in his heart. Love instigates love- hate propigates hate. I choose love, Jesus, God. We are told to go to church to build one another up to love and fine works--Why would anyone bother to sit and listen to mr pastor Wright ?? Why- celebrate Hate? What is is good for?? You are either building up or tearing down. good night- and God Bless & have Mercy on America!

Now the truth is coming out on Obama...Against the war, for the war!!
Rezco not his friend, just a 5 hr job he had with the law firm he was working for, now we know an 18 year friendship! Rezco only gave Obama's campaign $80 K, now we know its $250 K, He never heard Wright say these things, now we know..Yes he did hear but now does not support what Wright has said, but Wright is his uncle, friend and menor so he can not denounce him. Yes Wright is An American hater but he has been obamas advisor...I say Thank you but No Thank You Obama, we need a president that has good judgement not a wishy washy with elequent empty words... I say lets love America and send
the message of 'WE LOVE AMERICA" and pass on Obama and his Mentor!
And lets keep Sharpton off the streets!!!!

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

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

All other nationalities have spoken!!!!

I vote for Obama the divider. Did you here his speech today? He describes his grandma as a "TYPICAL WHITE" regarding how they are scared at blacks on the street. Who is characterizing now? Geez Ferraro says it last week and he has a sh*t now he is making divisions. This guy is a sleazy politican who is going down.

I think Obama went to the same "I'm not a divder, I am a uniter" school as G.W. Bush went to when it comes to pulling the country together.
Here we are, the USA, Leaders of the "free" world. We supposedly went to war in Iraq because our way of doing things are (supossedly) the best way of doing things and the rest of the non-free world want to be like us. HA!!!!!! What a sham. In the short period of time we have been a country(232 yrs almost) we still can't get this race thing right. When are the so called leaders of this GREAT Nation, weather they be Yellow, Brown, Black or White going to step up and lead by example. Rev Wright is supossed to be a man of GOD, Rev John Hagee is supposed to be a man of GOD, ever wonder what GOD must be thinking right about now about all this stuff? Rev. Martin Luther King had it exactly right in his " I have a Dream" speech. Isn't it about time that we stop looking at each other by the color of our skin. I honestly don't believe that is how GOD himself sees us, so why do we think we are any better than GOD. GOD is LOVE Racsim is from the Devil and full of hatred. As a wise man once said..."Can't we all just get along?" I think that all the leaders of ALL churches need to take a long look at themselves in the miorror and ask the question... "am I spreading GOD's LOVE or the Devil's Hatred?"
Get out and VOTE, but when you Vote, vote for the BEST QUALIFED person. Not just beacuse they are black or white, male or female, Democrat or Republican, Vote for the person because you belive in your heart they will do what is best for the WHOLE country. Maybe this would be the perfect time to ask the old question... "WWJD".

#666 Richard - I agree with some of what you said but I have to say that in all of the Churches I have attended in all my 60 years of living on this earth "I Have Never Ever Heard Words Of Hate, Division, Or Daming of our Lord. I am a Christian who believes "EXACTLY" whats in the Bible and any other teachings ARE the teachings of the devil. Rev. Wright said in one of his so called sermons he believed in a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy. In other words Rip A CHild From The Womb Of A Woman To Kill IT. That one thing is enough to make me, the lord forgive me, hate him. He is NOT a man of God. We are to live in the world but not be of the world. Thou shalt have no other Gods b4 me. Well, if your truly a Christian, you must denouce Wright and Obama. A Christian just can't have it both ways. Thats not from me but from the Book. Its Not about Martin Luther King, Hagee or anyone. They are suppose to be the preachers but don't be fooled. SOME mens views are just that theirs. They write their own "Bible" and call it Jesus. I really don't believe Wright will be in heaven. One can be saved and accept Christ, but if one doesn't follow his teachings we will not be in Heaven. Like I said, don't listen to me, or anyone, just go to the Good Book. Thats the only place that has THE RIGHT answers. God Bless AMerican

I think that if Obama gets it we will be the minority if not already (the whites) but do you think we would just get to holler discrimination I THINK NOT it wouldn't work for us!!!! IF Mc Cain gets it it will just be another BUSH administration again. The republicans all stick together we poor folk don't have a chance. I would hope that there would be enough women to get Senator Hillary Clinton elected after all how much worse could a woman do than has already been done by the men and isn't it time for one to give it a try? I personally think a woman would stand her ground where a man would prefer to go one way or another just to keep his standing. It is time for us americans to stand up and say we aren't going to take it any more. I disagree with the war totally but I do admire the brave people that are and have risked their lives but I feel it is for nothing, they aren't helping us the Iraqui nation. We should be concentrating on building up out nation to where we aren't put in a situation where we have to worry about the others after all they are still fighting and as long as we support them they will take advantage of it. We need to take care of our nation and help this recession for the people so that we don't suffer because so much money hass been wasted on other failures such as this one and the Viet nam war.
