Hillary Cries “Hate Speech” on Rev Wright

After weeks of silence and a lot of questions answered with “you’ll have to ask Senator Obama about that” Hillary Clinton has decided to speak up on the Rev Wright controversy — telling the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review “He would not have been my pastor.”

In a wide ranging interview, Clinton told the paper’s editors “You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.” She called anti-American remarks by Sen Barack Obama’s pastor “hate speech,” saying “I just think you have to speak out against that. You certainly have to do that, if not explicitly, then implicitly by getting up and moving.”

Obama spokesman Bill Burton responds “If Senator Clinton has decided that she now wants to play politics with this issue, that’s her disappointing choice, but it won’t do anything to help us solve the larger challenges facing this country.”

UPDATE: HRC came prepared to a media avail following her Greenburg, PA event on Social Security — reading from a paper statement when asked about her Wright comments.

“I’m just speaking for myself, and I was answering a question that was posed to me,” she said, “but i think given all we have heard and seen, he would not have been my pastor.”

She refused to answer any questions about what Obama should have done, or whether her comments meant that she would make a similar case to superdelegates, saying only that she was answering a question on what she would have done in similar circumstances.

Well glad to see Hillary has the guts to speak on this, every senator…even candidates ….should speak up on this. …. and it’s not about race folks.

Well race isn’t the point to me…I believe Obama deliberately tried to make the Rev. Wright’s sermons a race issue simply because the press is so totally afraid of appearing racist that it was the best way to staunch the showing of those clips…and it worked. Immediately few showed them anymore and those that did had the sound turned off. Then the press fell all over themselves to show they weren’t prejudice by calling Obama’s Great Speech” the greatest story ever told.

It WAS a brilliant speech…but people tend to forget that the purpose was to try to eliminate the pastor’s Anti-American remarks by any means necessary. People, especially whites, are trying hard to forget the racial problems of the past and want to do and forgive anything to try to heal the very real problems blacks have in the world.

I have no racial problems due to a good upbringing by parents that had no prejudices I ever saw …although I saw it everywhere else (I’m 58), it was a rough time for minorities, but I have no “white guilt” to overcome.

To me it comes down to everything unpatriotic….all the little things like no flag lapel, no hand over heart, his wife’s “proud of America for the first time”, Farrakan (sp) award, and the big one to me. .. Rev. Wright’s sermons.

The source of those sermons was the church bookstore and website…those weren’t taken out of context, those were among those the church was most proud of.

There is no way I can believe Obama has selective hearing enough to be unaware of them, it’s hard to even believe he wasn’t in the pews at least a couple times, his books are on sale in that same church bookstore, and the biggie… He is a US Senator, the highest ranking member of that church as to status, people would be falling all over themselves to talk to him…he simply had to know about almost anything going on in that church

Now to the point: Obama stayed in that church despite him knowing the radical, unpatriotic theme. These actions show a lack of strong patriotism or even deep love of country.

Obama was not outraged.

This is a unforgivable for a Senator running for President of the United States.

 
Comment by Kerry Marvin

McCain can and does address the Issues facing this Nation and the Economy,
Is an Integral Part of the Defense Posture as well as the War on Terror?

The Sacrifice of our Military and their Families for the defense of this Nation is not,
and will “NOT Be in VAIN!” With 4,000 lives Lost, nor for the sacrifice that the first one Gave His All;
In my eye’s and/or in Mr. McCains Also.

Where will it go with respect to the Defense Budget and the Price Increases for Everything, from Gas to Eggs? The American, Consumer is Already Strapped to the Max with the Cost of Everyday Items.

Our Future Generations, Are backed into a corner with the Fiscal Irresponsibility of the;
Government Pork Barrel Spending and, Corporate Greed, Just like the DOT.COMM
Bubble in the 90’s!
And Individuals, that were trying to make “Quick Profits on their Buy, Flip and Grab another Fixer Upper for resale?” This, Was the Motivating factor.
Not, to belittle the “Home Buyer that just wanted to have the American Dream!”
Today it is about Pure Survival of the Family and Our Family Values!

Trying to Reward with our Grandchildren’s Future Taxes to cover the Speculators is; Wrong! Any Way You Try To, justify it. There are Consequences for your actions, and the right to fail is also one of those consequences.

No One is Guaranteed, a Government Sponsored Bailout, Not republican nor Democrat or Independents.

There is Justice, in the Financial System that rewards Good Management, Not Bad and Good Customers, Not those whom are trying to make a killing, and take advantage of the system or their Customers and Clients.

World Com, Enron and Global Crossing are, just some examples of the Corporate scandals that have been the Center of attention in the past few years and, the “Ruin of many retirement incomes 401K Plans” As well as livelihoods of the American Public.

There are alternatives, and the Market will adjust.
However, that is not what the democrats and corporate; CEO’s and CFO’s are crying for in this
“POLITICAL ELECTION YEAR”, Trauma/Drama and Bush whacking/Bashing Congress and Senate
want you to believe.
That, It’s Obviously “ALL” this Administrations, Fault. And they the “DEMOCRATS”
Are the only ones who can fix it!

If they Can’t, Fix, their Own Party, how are the going to pass,
Anything, in either of the House’s of Congress or the Senate?

So Far all the Smoke and Mirrors have revealed is,
a Broken System and Party Politic Sorely in need of a Position And Policy to get anything done for the Country, let alone the Corporations on Wall Street, and the Middle Class Dream?

Is gone!

But Unlike the Democrats, We can Start Over. They, However have Disintegrated their Support, and Imploded, now they have To wait for the Explosion of Republican Backlash at their Antics, Angst, and Disgust, against their Party in November!

Add to this the “Race” Baiting and Back Biting of the Democrats and their supporters?
The “TRUTH” Hurts and Sometimes is Hard to Take. But they, can’t even tell the American Public, What it is; When they know We have Empirical Evidence in front of their Campaign Delagats and Spokespersons, Let Alone the candidates? Let me Parse the Ways? I Mispoke my Mistatement was taken out of context? “ONCE, I THOUGHT I WAS WRONG! BUT, I WAS MISTAKEN?”

I Rest My Case.

End Trans: Marv!

 
Comment by Angry American

Good for Hillary. McCian already said rev. Wright would not be his pastor either. I’m glad Obama has been exposed before the people elected this man into office. It makes me sick how Obama sits in a church that only cares for one race (BLACK) only and he is half white. In fact Trinity is not a church but rather a cult that teaches hatred. Obama will not be remembered well in the history books and he only has himself to blame. Americans are sick of people like Rev. Wright, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and guess what? We aren’t taking it anymore. These kinds of people are racists and the media shouldn’t give them the time are day.

 
Comment by Marilyn

Hillary has every right to speak out on this issue and anything else, it is a free country! Obama just wants this to all go away, let’s pretend it didn’t happen. And his so called great speech about Rev. Wright, all he did was turn it around and make it into a “race” speech acting like he is the ONLY ONE who can resolve race issues in this country, as if he is “above” everyone else! CNN has now stopped talking about Rev. Wright and again siding with Obama, MSNBC never stopped siding with Obama, ONLY Fox has the balls to call it as they see it….Obama the racist!
If Obama gets the nomination, I will not VOTE! I cannot stand to even look at him or hear his voice!

Comment to LarryB

I am glad your parents did such a great job of raising you…,but you need to open your eyes about Obama, Wright and the direction this campaign has taken, in fact, race was the direction the Obama campaign was headed in all along. I am proud to say I am not mesmerized by Barak (Barry) Hussein Obama. Obama’s family was not pleased when he decided he wanted to be called Barak and not Barry. This move by Obama was not just for a more grown up name, but a name that aligned him more with his black half.

Wright’s sermons opened the floodgate on black anger. Many whites and other American ethnic groups have suffered at the hands of Affirmative Actions for years. “Reparations” for slavery is what blacks are looking for. Search the internet for “blacks feel they deserve reparations and more”.

I would like to see all Americans treated fairly, have a job, home, peace of mind; this will not happen because appeasement cannot be stopped now. Our welfare programs, promoted by liberal Democrats, have enslaved blacks.

Comment by Diane

In regards to the last paragraph of this article I find it truly amazing that the Obama camp has once again come out and tried to turn the tables on Hillary.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton responds “If Senator Clinton has decided that she now wants to play politics with this issue, that’s her disappointing choice, but it won’t do anything to help us solve the larger challenges facing this country.”

For one, Hillary has been speaking about the issues this whole time, while Obama was off giving a self-serving speech and trying to defend himself, his church and his pastor. If she was asked a question she finally decided it was time to answer and the answer was not long but to the point. The Obama campaign is constantly throwing attacks and misleading the public about Mrs. Clinton and where she stands on the issues. If they want to stick to the issues then they should look to themselves first.

Second comment to LarryB

I went back and read your comments again….I totally agree that sitting in this church for twenty plus years is forgiveable and Hussein Obama should be forced to resign from the Senate and Presidential Campaign.

I have never been a Clinton supporter (Bill or Hillary), but I do not feel that Hillary has received fair treatment by the media. It is hard to run against a candidate that cries fair play and unity…while supporting racism.

Come on Americans open your eyes to Obama and what he stands for….BLACKS!

Comment by lauri

I would never in a million years stay and listen to my pastor spew such hatred and such racism. Not in a million years. But Barrack Hussein OBama did and even claims him as family. What does that say about Good ole Barrack? If we still do not know - then perhaps the little speech that his Grand mother is just a “typical white Person”! Hellloooo how stupid are people? Change - oh yeah lets talk change! Put that racist supporting man at the helm of this nation and we will see change alright! Hatred taught in church and schools - depleted military - my favorite is to use military money to develop green jobs! I almost died when I heard him say that!!! He has a great writer on staff and he sounds all peachy king but what is he really?
Actions speak a lot louder than words and his actions are to support a hate filled racist church! What does that tell you?
Supporting him just because he is black is stupid!
So Hillary - you go for it. Tell it like it is. You have that right.
If he has the right to say all white people are typical and naturally racist - then you have the right to speak your thoughts on his church!

 
Comment by Ty

Ignorance is not bliss. I have read these (your) comments and it is evident that there is a racial divide. My question to you all is this: have you watched any of the sermons in their fullness before you posted anything or made your decisions? I had to see and hear them for myself because the media spin was and is slanted and I gotta say that some things were bothersome, but overall, I did not get this big blow out that you all have portrayed.

Furthermore, having traveled and lived in other countries, most non-Americans look to our situation with disgust and shrugged shoulders. They don’t see the point.

Unfortunately, most Americans are not willing to be honest with themselves or others when it comes to a topic such as race. It is obvious, that most of you haven’t. Therefore, we as a country will never get pass this issue and consequently, will never heal the gap.
The election show be on the issues that affect us all as Americans and these problems extend across eco-social lines. PA was not a wash for Sen. Obama because of this story of his minister, but for what it truly is and was race. Racial tendencies come in all colors not just white and black.

I hope that you are not passing or have not passed this on to your children!!!

 
Comment by Michael in Ohio

Hillary made a stand which I agree with about Obama and his Pastor. She told a half-truth about Bosnia. McCain has made mistakes when speaking about Iraq and Iran.

All three candidates are stumbling on words.

 
Comment by LarryB, Texas

Comment to Barbara

Barbara making this all about race does no one any good, what Obama’s middle name is of no consequence, he didn’t choose his middle name, that he is for Blacks is a given, and not a bad thing, he should be supportive of his race.

BUT, I feel that his turning the subject to purely race is brilliant but wrong….and having a US Senator who is a member of a radical, un-American congregation should not be tolorated

 
Comment by Michael in Ohio

I believe that current events have a place in sermons. Using current events, as application to the Word of God is one relevant way to keep the congregation engaged in the sermon.

Pastor Wright spoke as a Pastor and as a Black Libertian Theologian. Trinity follows that doctrine. That doctrine identifies Jesus as being Black. James Cone a leading theologian of the system beliefs wrote.”The raceless American Christ has a light skin, wavy brown hair, and sometimes– wonder of wonder– blue eyes. For whites to find him with big lips and kinky hair is as offensive as it was for the Pharisees to find him partying with tax collectors. But whether whites
want to hear it or not , _Christ is black, baby,_with all the features which are so detestable to white society”!(1) On Sin and Salvation Cone’s thoughts were sin is a “condition of human existence in which man denies the essence of God’s liberating activity as revealed in Jesus Christ”(2), Salvation, “To see the salvation of God is to see the this people rise up against their oppressors, demanding that justice become a reality now and not tomorrow”.(3 )

Jesus is a Jew. The Son of the living God! Salvation- John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.

Black Libertian Theology mixed in with the Gospel is an error of Truth!

Comment by Joel

Hillary Clinton should speak out about this racist hate monger. All America should speak out about Obama’s lack of ‘good judgement’ with regard to advocating the rhetoric by his continued attendance over a period of 20 years.

Anyone who is afraid to denounce the ‘not so reverend’ Jerimiah Wright and Barack Hussein Obama for their Un-American trash talk and acceptance of same, should be ashamed of themselves!

Sure, now Obama is vacationing…cowards always remove themselves from the flack and let their lackeys do the dirty work.

Obama…bad for the Senate…would be HORRIBLE FOR AMERICA!

 
Comment by Bud Curtis

Well, the Obama fans have been accusing Clinton of creating this story, when she has actually been trying to stay out of it.

Obama tried, and apparently failed, to make this a racial issue so it would fade away. But a lot of people see it as I do, an attempt by Obama to cover up the anti-American issue it really is.

I am glad Clinton has given her honest appraisal.

This issue finally gave the public an opportunity to see that Obama is not what he would have us believe. Unfortunately, I fear that we will be stuck with him as the nominee, handing the white house over to the Republicans for another four years.

Comment by American Woman

Diane…you make very good points. I would also like to point out that Hillary has given open new conferences….She gave a news conference to the “Black Media”…Obama makes cowardly remarks on a radio station…to rally his BASE…That’s all his speech was in my opinion…

I think this is evident by the open endorsement of the “New Black Panthers” after his speech.

Obama wants Americans to ignore thier common sense and drink his KOOL-AiD….

Every American should do what ever it takes to STOP him…he is not fit to be a sitting Senator…or President..

If you have to holod your nose to voter for Hillary…then hold your nose…In the General if you have to hold your nose to vote for McCain…then hold your nose….Hillary and McCain LOVE AMERICA

Wake Up America ….when cannot sit by an do nothing….We have to stand beside our GREAT AMERICA…….

God Bless America………….Stand Beside Her

 
Comment by M. Taylor

Hillary is speaking about the Rev. Wright in order to distract attention away from her lies about her foreign policy experience. She (Clinton) lied in a speech last week and throughout this camplain about her foreign and domestic policy experience and the media has not made it a big issue. What happen to non bias reporting? In the last month I have watched CNN, Fox, and MSNBS bet up on Obama but when Clinton outright lies and McCain flip flaps, they say they just “misspoke”. It is obvious what the media is doing, they are telling the white votors not to vote for Obama. What we are seeing is racism in full force by the media.

 
Comment by cheryl in texas

Hillary is speaking out because Fox News has to stop covering this after awhile unless they want to look like idiots and Hillary is going to carry the torch for them to keep it going. My My My. You people are so blind..But you know what…the majority put Bush in Office and see what we got…A worthless war, gas prices sky high, people losing houses and all Chaney has to say is SO. My, My, My. I am tired of the same old people doing the same ole things. Whew, can I get a breathe of fresh air. What is the world really coming to.

 
Comment by lauri

Ty give me a break. I have travelled outside of the country as well - big deal. White American have had to watch everything we do, say and literally walk on eggs not to appear or do anything that could be translated as racist. So it is a huge insult to be referred to as a typical White person that can’t help but be racist. It is a huge insult to hear the black community (a very small part of the community) still blame everything on the white person. Give me a break and grow up. It is so obvious that even a blind man can see just how racist and anti American Wright is and the new guy seems to be cashing in on it. He actually compared Wright to Jesus Christ!
Nothing for nothing leaves nothing! Work earn your way - we do not owe the black community any more than they owe us! Get over yourself and stand up and take responsibility and quit blaming everyone else.
you can start with Barrack and he can take a break from blaming everyone around him.
I am so disgusted!

OK so Hillary ‘misspoke’ about Bosnia, so which is worse, that or supporting Anti American and racist rants…for 20 years!

Anyway, by the looks of the video I saw, that didn’t look like someplace I’d want to vacation…All military personnel had flack jackets on and the military advisors informed Clinton that there ‘may be a problem’…

What was Obama doing while Clinton was traveling the globe on behalf of the White House…maybe he was snorting coke while ‘organizing’ in the slums of Chicago…ya think!

Clinton or McCain on a very bad day over Obama, on his best day!

Go Hillary or John!

“let’s examine the impact of Rev. Wright’s statements on senator obama’s two daughters. Nothing says it better than a song from the musical “South Pacific,” to wit, “You have to be taught to hate and fear…You’ve got to be carefully taught.” Few dispute that Rev. Wright’s sermons are filled with hate. Why didn’t Obama stand up in the church and denounce his hateful statements or, at the very least, argue privately with his minister? It was horrifying to see on a video now viewed across America the congregation rise from the pews to applaud their minister’s rants”.

 
Comment by BLACK DEMOCRAT FOR HILLARY

By: Edward I. Koch

Now to Obama’s grandmother. There was a time spanning the 70’s to the mid-90s when many blacks and whites in large American cities expressed the same feelings on street crime held by Obama’s grandmother. Indeed, the Rev. Jesse Jackson made similar comments in 1993 at a meeting of his organization, Operation Push, devoted to street crime. According to a Nov. 29, 1993, article in the Chicago Sun Times, he said, “’we must face the No. 1 critical issue of our day. It is youth crime in general and black-on-black crime in particular.’ Then Jackson told the audience, ‘There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved . . . After all we have been through,’ he said. ‘Just to think we can’t walk down our own streets, how humiliating.’”
Isn’t that exactly what Obama’s grandmother was referring to? To equate her fears, similar to Jesse Jackson’s, with Wright’s anti-American, anti-white, anti-Jew, and anti-Israel rantings is despicable coming from a grandson. In today’s vernacular, he threw her under the wheels of the bus to keep his presidential campaign rolling. For shame.
What is it that I and others expected Obama to do? A great leader with conscience and courage would have stood up and faced down anyone who engages in such conduct. I expect a president of the United States to have the strength of character to denounce and disown enemies of America — foreign and domestic — and yes, even his friends and confidants when they get seriously out of line.

Comment by BLACK DEMOCRAT FOR HILLARY

By: Edward I. Koch

What if a minister in a church attended primarily by white congregants or a rabbi in a synagogue attended primarily by Jews made comparable statements that were hostile to African-Americans? I have no doubt that the congregants would have immediately stood up and openly denounced the offending cleric.
Others would have criticized that cleric in private. Some would surely have ended their relationships with their congregation. Obama didn’t do any of these things. His recent condemnations of Wright’s hate-filled speech are, in my opinion, a case of too little, too late

 
Comment by Americans

For all folks calling Obama a racism, take a close look in the mirror and what you see is the real racist. Stop fooling yourself and admit what you are. Take your comments to you church leaders and ask if they agree with you, maybe than you will see where this is leading because divide we will continue to fall and detroy ourselves and this country.

 
Comment by BLACK DEMOCRAT FOR HILLARY

It is also disturbing to me that Obama’s wife, Michelle, during a speech in Wisconsin last month, said, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”
Strange. This is a woman who has had a good life, with opportunities few whites or blacks have been given. When she entered Princeton and Harvard and later became a partner in a prestigious law firm, didn’t she feel proud to be an American?
When she and the senator bought their new home, was there no feeling of accomplishment and pride in being a U.S. citizen? When her husband was elected to the state legislature and subsequently to the United States Senate, didn’t she feel proud of her country?

 
Comment by Dr Love 32

Hate monger…wow. I’ve know Dr. Wright for close to 30 years and hate monger is the last word that would ACCURATELY describe him. Of course, the 15 seconds of sound byte make you think this and Fox is continuously warping the minds of those who STILL believe that was OK to send 4000 young men and women to die because of wmd….oops…democracy in the desesrt…oops…fighting Al Qaida in Iraq..oops…Saddam violated UN sanction….yeah that’s it.

Here is a man who assisted in a heart operation on LBJ with access and a young man’s anger at a time when black folks were REALLY angry. One bad move and…….but…he hates white folks?

What DOES white america know about black america that doesnt come from a sound byte or a news? Not only do you not KNOW how we feel, you also don’t know why we feel it and worse yet; you don’care. Then EVERY ONE IS SOOOOOO SUPRISED!!!

Perhaps, it would be wise for Hillary to pick better fights. In addition to Rev’s invitation to the Clinton whitehouse during Monica-gate; (when they NEEDED friends) Pastor Wright has some SERIOUS NATION WIDE support in the black community and in the black pulpit. If she wants to “ride dirty” with us now; we can “ride dirty” if she THINKS she needs our support.

FYI for FOX. We are not a “fringe church” A little research would show that we are the LARGEST and most GENEROUS church in a LARGE white denomination.

why is it to vote against or speak out against obama, you must be a racist or bigot. But blacks voting against Hillary is not? It is your ignorant double standard. Take a look in your mirror!

 
Comment by Judy Ricketts

Why is the American public kept in the dark about Obama’s background? As a child he attended a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terroists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barrack Hussien Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. Also, when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. Obama will not recite the Pledge of Allegiance, nor will he show any reverence for our flag. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out. What better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their very own!!!

Maybe his views have changed, but having been born to a black Muslim father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya, and an Atheist mother, Ann Dun Ham from Witchita, Kansas, and upon his parents divorce, his mother married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL black Muslim from Indonesia, it is quite evident his background was heavily influenced by radical Muslim culture. It was his stepfather who introduced Obama to Islam, and subsequently attended the Wahabi school mentioned previously.

Would you want this man leading our country? NOT ME!!!

 
Comment by joyce

It is truly sad to read some of these comments. It seems so easy for some of you to hurl the “racist” charge at both sides. Maybe you know so much about being a racist because you are the true racist. Admit it ..many of you weren’t going to vote for Obama anyway. Stop pretending he LOST your support when it is clear he NEVER had it. If you don’t agree with him DON’T VOTE FOR HIM!!! You do not have to spread venom to others. if your mind is made up…give others a chance to make up their own minds without your nasty comments.

Comment by North Carolina Voter

If Obama can get so much press over his “famous” speech, then Hillary should have had the same opportunity. Of course I am sure that all you Obama can do no wrong believers out there, will find some way to spin this and bash Hillary for it. She has a right to speak out about this. It is such a shame that the average American voter will choose someone without researching them first. Obama has lied and misspoke numerous times but the media chooses to highlight such events only when Hillary has done the same thing. This is politics people…they do what they can to win. The clincher for me is that Obama’s campaign is based around “change” and a new kind of politics…what a LIE…the BIGGEST LIE in this election! What has Obama really done that makes him qualified? Quit the negatives Obama lovers…wake up and research your own candidate before throwing stones.

Dr Love 32,
4000 young men in Iraq. thats an average of 800 per year. How many young “Black” males have died (black on black) in the innercities of America in the last 5 years? How many people died in the 9/11 attacks. Grow up, Please?

Comment by Patty

OK DRLOVE… I have never heard such things come from a person as I did on his sermons…LMAO!!!!
Do you really believe this is normal? The only reason you do is because that is the only things that you have ever heard. 30 yrs in that church!!! My priest in our church and the one before him, the one before him, the one before him..Have never used such language. I wouldnt even know what they think of politics. Its just not the norm. Stop saying it was just soundbites. Its his way of brain washing you people and making more hate in your hearts. He is lucky that no one has burned that church down…YET!!!

She only spoke up about this after she could see the popular opinion polls concerning the speech by Wright.

 
Comment by what?

Every other news program is dealing with Mrs. Clinton’s mistakes in regards to her arrival in Bosnia, and yall bring up her comments about Reverend Wright. You know, as a born-again Christian, I ask one question, “Why is Satan continously attacking Mr. Obama”? I have never in my life seen anything like this before, except when prophets and apostles in the bible were attacked. Now I have never thought to put Mr. Obama in their category, but I am watching very carefully. I look at things through the eyes of righteousness and these attacks have me questioning your entire Fox News profile and conservative positions. The blind leading the blind, cause we know Satan will not attack himself.

Christopher,
The popular opinions from CBS. MSNBC, CNN, and ABC? I do not give much weight to anything on their clearly biased opinion for obama!

 
Comment by Patty

Maybe you should watch the pretend news on CNN,MSNBC,ABC,NBC…They are the pretend news stations that chocolate coat Obama to death!

 
Comment by i almost didn't write this....sniper fire!

Angry American says:

I’m glad Obama has been exposed before the people elected this man into office. It makes me sick how Obama sits in a church that only cares for one race (BLACK) only and he is half white. In fact Trinity is not a church but rather a cult that teaches hatred.

I gotta hand it to Sean Hannity and Rupert Murdoch they really got you guys pegged to a tea.

Well, there you have it. America has decided to, instead of working on the problem, “playing Wright’s sermons to the end of the primary” and “retreating to our respective corners.” This is the true legacy of America. America does not want to solve this problem. America does not want to look itself in the mirror for any of these problems because it is “unpatriotic.” The truth is, however, over racism and stupidity, we are losing a great candidate and a good man because we are judging him for the words of another, despite the fact that he himself came out and said which of Wright’s words he agrees with, and which he does not. But since we have so many Christians in here, I do hope that you remember Matthew 7:1. The standard that is applied to Barack Obama is a standard no one on this blog could possibly survive. I don’t care what you say, most of you have been, for years, associated with someone who has consistently said and done things that are racist, sexist, ignorant, disrespectful, and just plain wrong. We have had people like Trent Lott, Jesse Helms, and Strom Thurmond associated with the Republican party and past presidential candidates FOR DECADES. But we only judge the black candidate by that standard. But that’s ok. Because that passage in Matthew guarantees that everyone who is using that standard to judge Obama, will be judged themselves by it. Good luck folks. I’m praying for you. America will never get past this problem because people will not examine theirselves and the role they play and have played in creating this situation. Whether white Americans want to admit it or not, segregation, or apartheid, however you want to say it, began with your ancestors and it his years and years of horrible consequences. Simply pretending the consequences do not exist is delusional. Immorality always comes back to bite everybody in its wake. I do know one thing, that violence begets violence sermon that everyone calls unpatriotic will also come true. America has and does continue to kill innocent women and children across the globe. We are doing it in Iraq as we speak. And to think you can just go kill people who you think may attack you, and labeling them terrorists, will only breed more. If you think for a second that this country is safer because of this poor foreign policy, think again and get ready for more attacks. Military force should always be a last resort. In this war, it was a first resort and based on a lie. And on top of the foreigners we have killed, we have lost 4,000 of our own children and injured 30,000 more.

There is something broken here. a President has to be for ALL people not just some of the people. Barrack loves to tell us that he is half white, yet it is his White Grand mother he throws under the bus.
Angry - are we angry - you betcha!
Lets look at the imbalance - try to get a scholarship for a white person - fat chance. Yet there are thousands and thousands of ways for a person of color to get a scholarship. Try having a White History month, or the white channel on cable. Shall I go on and on and on! Yet when ever there is any controversy at all we are all just racist. A total excuse - I disagree with a black person then I am labelled a racist. Give me a break!!! I don’t care what color you are - that church teaches hatred and racism!
So now we have a presidential hopeful that for 20 years has sat under the teachings that what is wrong with the black nation is white America! GD America! Hellooooo _ there is no context to take those words out of - they stand as they were meant to stand. What about white America introducing aids to wipe out the black man - hell what must the gay community be thinking - weren’t they blamed for it originally?
What is wrong with this picture? Then the media excuses it like it is nothing! That us what White America has been doing forever - looking the other way and excusing reverse racism and hate! If it is wrong for one set of people - it is wrong for all!
It does not matter who the racist is - be it white or be it black it is wrong!!!
For a President to give his money to a church that preaches this trash is insane! If it had been McCain or any other white politician he would be unemployed today! Bam over don’t let the door hit you in the a$$
You all know that is the truth. But since Barrack is black then he is given a free pass - nooooooooooooo The double standard stops here!

Comment by Mark

Unlike Obama’s wife, I have always been proud to be an American. I was disappointed when America re-elected Bush, but I was still proud. If Obama wins the nomination, I pray I will still be a proud American.
One other comment, I am not a Bushfan , however, I can understand why Hillary voted for giving Bush the power in Iraq, she trusted a man that the majority of the country trusted and re-elected. Bad decision yes, understandable of course. Now, Obama’s decision to stay in the racist church for 20 years, get married, have his children baptized there, bad decision yes, understandable, not in a million years.
