Comments on: Obama Rejects Anti-U.S. Sermons From Pastor Who Was ‘Like an Uncle’ http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/03/14/obama-calls-chicago-pastors-fiery-remarks-inflammatory-and-appalling/ America's Election HQ Fri, 16 May 2008 19:16:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: John March http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/03/14/obama-calls-chicago-pastors-fiery-remarks-inflammatory-and-appalling/#comment-238479 John March Sat, 22 Mar 2008 03:40:34 +0000 http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/03/14/obama-calls-chicago-pastors-fiery-remarks-inflammatory-and-appalling/#comment-238479 I am quite confused about everyone's comments and new commentary in general. Rev. Wright NEVER said that he hated whites, and did not say anything that was overtly racist. What is more, his comments about America are an opinion about our divisive foreign policy, and do not express hate. Finally, I wish people would stop acting like Wright's whole life was devoted to controversial speeches, and realize that in every church a pastor will say something that you may not agree with once, especially over the course of DECADES. Wright had a long history of helping people in his and other communities, and now we call him a bigot. Other than this, Obama did not say or do anything of this. He is multi-racial, and is the picture of unity in our society. He is in no way a racist, and has not done or said anything racist. I am saddened to see people destroying his candidacy through statements decrying non-existent racism. By the way, I am a white, male, democrat from the rural south. I am not radical, just trying to view things with a cool, rational head. I am quite confused about everyone’s comments and new commentary in general. Rev.

This mighty land faces a momentous decision in the months leading up to November 2008; don’t laugh this off as some kind of silly joke or scare tactics; it is neither. This mighty land has only two options for the voter in November. Each choice will be very painful, but there is no other, only these two. I shall keep it short for now: Either: you dismiss Barack Obama now and run him out of Public Office, or you elect him in November, inaugurate him in January and impeach him in March. Wow? Why? I am nuts, you may say that? The answers are spread through his books [for heaven’s sake, or for the sake of America, read these things] that infernal photo [which he shrugs off as of no importance, even co-ops a well known military man to say many Americans have worn “local costumes” when on foreign soil], the Kenyan Cattle demand [ordinary Americans reacted to that with humor – how, yes how I love Americans with their humor – some with scorn, some tied it to the Clintons – readers all round had a good time] but there is a deeper story behind that Cattle Demand [I shall explain that later – much too long for now]. And finally it spreads over into his links with Farakhan [in one of his books he praises the man] but when he is pressed for it on the stump he realizes it is time to Praise Jesus. Even then he first rejects Farakhan, only when pressed by Hillary does he “reject and denounce” with a condescending smile, and calls it just words. Mostly America knows almost nothing about this man, except of course, that he is a highly gifted orator. But though many Orators are often hollow/shallow inside and, thus, cause no harm, this man hides the truth because it is an ugly and extremely dangerous truth. I promised to be short for now and will write more as I put things together but my advice is. America must investigate all of the above, also his voting records, and question him for answers. You can do it now, or you can do it during his impeachment trial. Let the Voters decide, you may say but I say to that, they cannot decide if they don’t have the facts, and the Senator is hiding the facts in any event. In short to close for now: the Senator is an Interloper and a Liar. Let me add because some will shout I am; I am not a “closet Republican” neither am I “hoping for Hillary” to return. American voters at last discovered the real Hillary and Television News Readers’ Comments tell the story. But I do find it tragic that the Democratic Party, that once highly esteemed, indeed honored Institution, now find themselves in this mess, having anointed two of the worst possible ego’s to run under their ticket. THAT is sad, very sad indeed. And [I know I will have to say this many more times as the discussion develops into what must come, so allow me this one for now, please] PLEASE PLEASE AMERICA, you have been at war for some time now [I am not referring to Iraq – it has turned into a terrible mess, maybe because you did not realize at the time that it represented the same war you were into already, and which will continue even if you leave Iraq now] but whether you like or believe it or not, America is at war. WAR AGAINST TERRORISM. CALL IT SCARE TACTICS IF YOU MUST OR IF YOU WISH, BUT AMERICA IS AT WAR, AND FINALLY, the Senator IS NOT THE MAN TO ANSWER THAT PHONE.

And to compare this with other candidates that can't help who supports them is rediculous. Where you choose to attend church is where you agree to the teachings of the leadership and are learning and growing in that teaching. Otherwise, why bother supporting and attending that church. Obama says he was unaware....I JUST DO NOT ACCEPT THAT. Does a leapard lose it’s spots? Does Obama think his pastor thinks one way on most Sundays and another way once in a while? Wake up Obama!

I believe in the freedom of speech. It was up to the Church and the Churches covering to tell Wright whether they felt he was out of line to say things like that in their pulpit. I hold Obama accountable to what he new was being said and obviously did not have the good judgment to not be under that Pastor’s tutorage. By saying Wright was his mentor and Spiritual Guide means that Obama was receiving what was being taught by that person. Wright can say what he likes. I believe in the freedom of speech.

If YOU are a church goer. Can you honestly say you are familiar with EVERY sermon your pastor has presented?? Besides, ANYONE with more than half a brain can listen to someone else's opinion and make up their own mind about how something said will effect them. Here is a link for you folks to lazy to find out the truth of just how "influential" you believe this minister has been to Obama: http://skepticalbrotha.wordpress.com/2007/03/21/obamas-pastor-speaks-out/ Obama is NOT a liar.

He rejects nothing. Simply more meaningless & hollow words for political gain. He embraces Wrights views as his own, truth be told. Dont take merely my word for it- allow the dynamics illuminate this fraud for 'who' B Hussien Obama really is: > Refuses to place hand over heart with Pledge of Allegiance > Married to A woman who has never been proud of America until her hubby is seen to be a viable candidate >Friends with a known, self-confessed terrorist (Ayers) who lives down the street from Obama >Has very close ties with the Weather Underground >Has soaked up the anti-American & biggoted sermons of Wright for over TWENTY YEARS. ... thankfully, this anti-American fraud is finally being revealed. He has stuck his American-hating, white-hating head in the political guillotine, and now all we have to do is wait on Hillary (another socialist) to pull the lever.

If you don’t know that, don’t even bother to read any further. Many have said Senator Obama possesses a rare combination of skills, in fact so rare, no single other politician comes even close. What is not realized is the Senator also possesses a brilliant political mind. He knows everything he does, he does it with finesse, when he is not sure, he tests the waters to verify his plan. If he finds the test results satisfactory, his plan goes in. The Senator, to summarize, is a master Strategist; he leaves nothing to chance. He knows full well he cannot win in November, so for now he goes in as the Peace Messiah. Nobody even knows or suspects he is testing the waters. The Iran hate America Bush plan was executed with perfection. After that Ferraro and the race conflict. Nobody can point a finger at him. He rides across the screens hands clean, the Grand Uniter, Peace Messiah. Inside he knows he is closer to his goal than the day before. He knows it perfectly well. You don’t believe this? Let me tell you his next big step [test] is Denver. If he fails in Denver he knows he will have to withdraw. But don’t think you know his private definitions of fail or win. Herein lies the point. Senator Obama will win August if Denver erupts in flames. That is the grand and final test for him, inside him. So either way he wins. He simply cannot loose, whichever way it goes. …. Superbly confident, because everything has worked according to plan so far. He is the “Yes, I Can” man. Another comment somewhere said: “don’t afterwards say you did not know I was a snake when you took me in.” Every logical mind should be able to work out that 911 was planned years ahead and brilliantly executed.

"I am disgusted and appalled at what has been going on, yes It is true years ago I bought into this churches ideals, I have heard hate messages before, but now that i am running for president I disassociate myself from wright and his church, I apologize to the american people for my stupidity of sticking with this church for 20 years, Ill I ask is for your forgiveness, I will make a great president and will from now on make good descisions. I ask that there be a full investigation in this racist , terroristic church that spews hate similiar to the Muslim churches around america. Dr. Wright you are a racist and you are no longer a part of my life, same goes to Farakahn. Once again America I apologize and condemn the behavior of Dr. Wright. Make sure to vote for change, vote for me , Barack Huesain Obama. Here is what OBAMA should of Said, along with his wife at his side.
