Wright Sermon Here. Okay...I use the word "discovered" a bit loosely--the way one might "discover" a Big Mac at McDonald's. But now that I have your attention, the point is that most voters don't have a clue that Obama writes in his memoir that the very first time he attended Trinity United Church, he heard Rev. Wright rant that "white folks' greed runs a world in need." As you may recall, Obama said, following Rev. Wright's infamous press club appearance in April, that "The person I saw yesterday was not the person that...

Sen. Hillary Clinton tried to blast Sen. Barack Obama for unsolicited comments made by Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan, and folks like Fox News' Sean Hannity were happy to run with it, saying it was evidence that the junior senator from Illinois was unfit to be president.

In 1999 State Sen. Barack Obama secured a $75,000 taxpayer earmark grant for this guy and his cult congregation. For those who do not know, the "Black Hebrew Israelite" movement is a fringe racist cult that claims African Americans are the "lost tribe of Israel" and the "real" or "true" Jews.

Most of us neither know nor care what our associates believe or say about politics. Associations are very different from alliances.

Attempting to put the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy behind him, Obama said he had "already condemned, in unequivocal terms," Wright's "inexcusable," "divisive," and "racially charged" comments. Wright's "incendiary language," he said, expressed "views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation." Wright's criticisms of the United States, additionally, were based on "a profoundly distorted view of this country, a view that sees white racism as endemic and elevates what is wrong...
