At the end of a Good Morning America segment today about Barack Obama's pastor, the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., an Obama campaign representative complained that John McCain's pastor had not been similarly "vetted." If that's true, then ABC or some other media outlet surely should and will do so.
Let's imagine that upon vetting, McCain's pastor is found to have made statements that were the mirror-image of those that Rev. Wright has made. How long would McCain remain a viable candidate? Judge for yourself, based on Rev. Wright's statements as exposed in the GMA segment that was the result of work by ABC's chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross. A number of clips were aired from sermons Wright gave at his Trinity United Church of Christ.
JEREMIAH WRIGHT: "The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law, and then wants us to sing God Bless America? No, no, no! Not God bless America. God damn America! It's in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating its citizens as less than human!"

Obama’s pastor ping to Today show list. Jeremiah Wright says “not God Bless America. God damn America.”
What if McCain (or any Republican) was associated with a church minister tied at the hip with the KKK?
Who are the racists?
Throw change and hope out the window
Obama’s new campaign slogan:
Barack Obama: God Damn America
I hope God doesn’t grant the pastor his wish.
And this is the man Sen. and Mrs. Obama chose to teach their daughters in spiritual matters? It sounds exactly like the hate that Muslim imams preach to their people. Unbelievable.
He’s tied himself to that anti-Catholic boob in Texas so I suppose we’ll find out.
“G** d*** America! It’s in the Bible”
Yeah in the Ten Commandments where it says do not use the Lord’s name in a profane manner.
And if he wants to talk of damnation, Sodom and Gommorah couldn’t have been far off from the sodomite parades and BDSM demostrations in the street honored with a mockery of the Last Supper as an orgy with sex toys.
I will assume this question is merely rhetorical....
That’s one hate filled man.
Members of the MSM have never before entered churches. It’s another “Great Awakening!”
“...America! It’s in the Bible, for killing innocent people.”
Abortion has killed you neighbor and your child’s teacher and the next 2 generations of Americans.
Want to know why there is no one who wants to work in America anymore? They were killed because it wasn’t going to be a “quality life”.
50 million dead. Has it affected your life yet?
Credit Hannity?
I have never heard a pastor use the Lord’s name in vain. I am shocked if he really said this. It is against the 3rd Commandment (Exodus 20:7): “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God”.
So of course we should elect a former dope dealer AS president.
No.
Dem voters have a very narrow perspective though. The overwhelming majority of them probably don’t even know that he has a pastor.
Sinead O'Conner is in Texas now?
That pretty much describes Barack Hussein Obama’s message once the flowery language is stripped away.
You keep holding particular black people up to scrutiny like this you're going to pay for it. 'Specially a man of the cloth.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to go along to get along, and vote for the black guy to demonstrate your contrition for all the persecution you're guilty of, and you're blowing it.
