Everyone is missing the larger point in the Obama flap...
Maverick68

Posted on 03/15/2008 6:11:52 AM PDT by Maverick68

Obama has "rejected" the hate filled rantings of his pastor, but has said NOTHING to repudiate the reaction of the congregation. His "family" seems to wholeheartedly embrace the hateful, antiSemitic, antiWhite, antiAmerican filth that spews from "Pastor" Wright's mouth. He should NOT be allowed to distance himself from this until he distances himself from the whole church, a church which readily embraces bigotry.

Why does a man (Obama) attend a church that constantly decries white people when he’s half white?

Actually, an excellent point. However, to repudiate THAT congregation would be to repudiate the majority mindset of similar congregations across the U.S., and thus the strongest of his base.

I haven’t missed it. I keep telling everyone — whether they listen or not — that he can denounce the pastor all he wants, but mean nothing until he denounces the whole racist, hate-mongering church.

The analogy is, if you belonged to the KKK and denounced the Grand Dragon, so what? You’re still a member or a racist, hate organization. The right needs to keep pounding this over and over.

Racism and those who support it should be exposed and not be tolerated.

I think the dirty little secret regarding these statements is that most Dems probably agree with them, and thus won't change their votes because of them.

Much of the MSM is still not covering this...like the nightly news shows. Those that are covering are spinning like crazy...biggest argument seems to be McCain has been endorsed by crazies too.

Difference is...McCain was never a church member, nor did he give personal monies to his nut jobs.

Barry was a member for twenty years...much of the media is ducking on this...but that’s no surprise.

So? That’s his problem.

Obama has admitted on national TV that he is slooooow on the uptake. Twenty years and he couldn’t figure the guy out. When his wife started to say the same stuff to a national audience he should have asked where she heard it.

How well will Obama understand other national leaders? Remember how the Russians reacted when they thought Kennedy was slow? If they figure Obama can’t pick up on something in front of his face for twenty years they will all be on a rool.

Exactly! There are over 8,000 members of just this one church that sit and listen to the poison Rev. Wright spews with most of them chanting, singing, & announcing “praise the lord” as he states the most bigoted, racists, hate america speech 99% of Americans have ever heard.

These churches are all over America. We wonder why blacks in America have issues? It is because they listen to garbage like Rev. Wright!

“Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky” - Reverend Wright.

Hooray Reverend Wright!

Speaking truth to power?

His comments are great when he gets specific, instead of the rhetoric and generalities.

Vast Wright-Wing Conspiracy anybody?

From what I’ve heard and read. They aren’t racist, but bigots. Big difference.

Never said it wasn’t. (I know you didn’t mean to sound so frickin’ snippy.) I’m just pointing out that his congregation isn’t an anomaly among his support base.

He’s in deep doggie poo on this.

Hmmm.... I think it's more complicated. I think he's so pernicious and calculating that he, in his mind, is no longer half-white. Knowing the political advantage calling himself black and attending this church has proven that he's nothing more than a scam.

Or, he really hates white people and the fact that he's half-white. I wonder where he got that from?

You hit the nail right on the head.

A lot of these "starry eyed" dreamers who support this joker now will wake up in a nightmare on Jan 20, 2009 if he is elected. He is in no way what he portrays himself to be! A phony through and through, who given the chance with Pelosi and Reid, will ruin this Country.

He needed and needs black street cred.

Some have said this story will disappear within a week. I don’t believe it will and I don’t believe we should let it. The effect it WILL have however, is to remove the teflon coating from HusseinObama. The internet is becoming a powerful campaign tool when the MSM won’t allow the truth to come to light.
I am NOT a McCain fan (Maverick68 has to do with the TV series), however he IS the lesser of 3 evils. I was in total shock when I heard Rove and McCain vowing to “play nice” and thought they were complete morons. I am starting to believe they are GENIUSES because they saw that it was a matter of time before these things started to blow up, staying out of the fray and making McCain look like a statesman....
