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!"

And no doubt Obama will distance himself from the remarks tomorrow. In both cases the response should have been - for Obama, repudiate the remarks when made, and not when politically correct, and for McCain - do your homework and not embrace him to begin with.
Huesein has no pastor. He has an immam.
He resigned you know..... he’s an Obama advisor
BARACK OBAMA'S CONTROVERSIAL PASTOR PUTS CHURCH IN HOT WATER
Thanks so much for the source of what I thought I heard yesterday on FoxNews, Miss Didi. I'm bookmarking it for ammunition. Every FReeper should bookmark this for later use, so it can be splattered across the media and blogoshere far and wide from now until the November election. - OB1
That and he is playing to his audience. Didn't hear anyone take exception, seems to be a growing "church" with at least one very famous member that sets in the amen corner.

Excellent condemning material for Osamabama and this abomination in the pulpit.
I’ve got a new name for him. ‘God Damn’ Wright. < :)
