We are still members of the church.
Obama's bamboozling us.
He wouldn't dare leave. His wife would hang him out to dry. They fully believe every word spoken by the good rev.
He's in pickle -
The drive bys are reporting on this story with utmost reluctance. Their chosen candidate just destroyed the “moderate” image that the drive-bys created for him.
I won’t be surprised to see the MSM spin this as Buraq’s Sista Souljah Moment.
This whole g_d awful mess indicates that BO is an empty suit.
He was until it got too hot! No excusing here
Garbage. One may love a man but disassociate himself from that man. Obama has failed to do so for decades. That's the issue.
Rev. Rul. 200741
Organizations that are exempt from income tax under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as organizations described in section 501(c)(3) may not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.
26 CFR 1.501(c)(3)1: Organizations organized and operated for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary or educational purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals.

These too need to be looked into by the IRS.
Don't think Gestapo, think illegal gamers.
Already there has been one disastrous attempt to spin this affair by his own people, in the form of strident cries of "what has Wright said that's wrong?" Plenty, as it happens, the old attempt to bully people out of questioning it by accusations of racism is simply not going to work this time.
And so at last we do end up having that "dialogue on race" that the liberals have been forever babbling about but terrified to actually enter. This one, unlike the predecessors, isn't going to consist solely of accusations on the one side and apologies on the other.
As important as the candidate is the team he or she will bring to office. In this particular case the prospect of empowering a gaggle of resentful, aggrieved hatemongers is one that no one in the MSM has had the courage to consider. Do these people speak for Obama's team? Does his wife? Is this sort of vicious, hate-filled rhetoric to become enshrined as canon within the Democratic party? Or is it already?
If Hillary thinks this line of attack can be brought up to damage her opponent and then put back in the bottle she'd better wake up and smell the molotov cocktails. This stuff is incendiary, and it isn't going out with a cheery "Well, whatever, it's time for a healer, not a divider," when she crosses the finish line in Denver. But ultimately it is Obama himself who is going to take the rap for it, and he deserves to. IMHO.
I like how the singled out Fox News (Hannity & Colmes, specifically). Of course none of the other networks would dare...
Right and let’s face it, he is ONLY concerned about his OWN campaign, he is falling from his golden pedestal now that the smoke and mirrors are getting clearer.
When Sen. Barack Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ 20 years ago, little did he know that the churchs charismatic pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., would become a flashpoint in a Democratic presidential primary.
“Charismatic” is what the left calls black racism?...Gag me with a spoon!
if a candidate went to a church that preached that Jesus was the son of God and that the only path to salvation was to believe that he was born and died for the forgiveness of their sins he would be denounced as a right wing nut but obama gets a free pass in spite of going to a church that is the black equivalent of the KKK
No one forces a church, or any other “nonprofit” to voluntarily apply for tax-exempt status, with the concomitant voluntary quid pro quo of limiting their political advocacy speech.Churches, Red Cross, March of Dimes: all the same, when it comes to politics & taxes.
Nobody says they can't take the NRA route, and play on the other court.
But only as a public ploy - and only until he made it to the WH =
Just like the "uninvite" to open the meeting with prayer - but he had him backstage for a prayer before he went on.
Double speak = forked tongue
I bet his wife does not agree! She is a separatist! And the more dangerous of these two!
