And in anticipation of your repsonse...the Greatest Hits of Uncle Wright and the Haters was taken form tapes/dvds the church was hocking. . If this was not a central theme of Uncle Rev...why did they appear on the tapes? If this was such a rare statement Uncle Militie made...how did the camera mangage to record them? Luck of the draw?
If it was not a central theme of the Uncle Rev Miltie...why did NObama state he would have left the church if his favorite uncle did not retire to his million dollar palace with his 10 mill line of credit ?

I'm done with talking about Wright... he is not running for president first of all.
You guys will continue to use this story as your basis for bashing Obama. You will continue to overlook the flaws or controversy of the other candidates... and ignore issues that are much more worth considering. You basically hear and comment on soley what you want to hear, instead of the actual sermon by Wright.. and the things that Obama have said in regards to this... as well as other issues. In regards to the church and whatever financial situation they have with Wright is their issue. Its not an issue that has anything to do with the campaign, and it also has been reviewed and found to be legal. So drop it... but I know this is not what you will do... you will continue to form your opinions based on right wing sensational news... and concentrate on issues that takeaway from the very real and serious problems we face as a country.
I don't believe Obama to be racist... I actually don't believe Wright to be racist either, but I will also say I know much less about him. The church in no way can be put in the same sentence as the KKK. And you base your sentiments on fears and the presumption that this is some sort of reverse racism. Obama is right about what he said about how people cling to their traditions instead of looking to the political process... I wish he would have said it different... but this is true here... With all the turmoil we are facing as a nation... many of you want to continue with business as usual. And this is what McCain wants.. You also have a candidate that has many more serious issues than both of these 2 combined as far as scandal... and you don't mention it.
You equate Farrakhan, B.Panthers,Weather Underground, and others with the campaign..even though they have nothing to do with Obama.. I just find it very interesting your critiques of Obama, which seem to border on hate. He has run a very classy campaign amid all these attacks.. He deserves credit and at least some respect... as do his supporters on the site... We are not clueless or ignorant as some of you often suggest. We are not looking for handouts, nor are we blaming Bush for everything bad that has happened.
But we are looking for a candidate that will change Washington because we have seen in the last 8 years scandal, neglect, lack of oversignt, lack of planning, mismanagement, disregard, lack of disclosure among many other things..
