Comments on: What is the Difference in the teachings of Obama’s Pastor and that of Terrorist Extremists? http://obamawho.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/what-is-the-difference-in-the-teachings-of-obamas-pastor-and-that-of-terrorist-extremists/ Concerned Citizens of the United States Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:02:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: David http://obamawho.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/what-is-the-difference-in-the-teachings-of-obamas-pastor-and-that-of-terrorist-extremists/#comment-587 David Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:07:34 +0000 http://obamawho.wordpress.com/?p=147#comment-587 Great post. Hate needs to be examined from all sides. I thought that it was interesting today when Fox released a story stating that Obama called for Imus' firing. Not only did he call for his firing, he was the first candidate to do so. According to Obama (ref. to Imus) “He didn’t just cross the line,” Obama said. “He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.” Now, I'm not justifying what Imus said-I'm just saying that Rev. Wright went a little further than the shock jock. This double standard is ridiculous in America. Obama is looking more and more like a typical politician everyday rather than someone searching for “change”. His candidacy for President is quickly starting to come apart, and as long as he keeps doing soft-ball interviews about the topic at hand-he’s done. Great post.

He knew exactly what Rev. Wright was about. He's been attending this church for 20 years. Did he sit in that church and not listen to these racists remarks. Please. Wake up people. This is not the president I want for America. Obama has lied to us all. He knew exactly what Rev. Wright was about. He’s been attending this church for 20 years.

He clearly does not know what is going on! He did not know how to vote in the Senate by pushing the buttons wrong six times. He did not know his pastor preaches like this, he did not know his foreign advisor said the things she does, he doesn't know Rezko is in trouble, he doesn't know Averys is a bomber, he doesn't know what is going on round him at all does he? He said these are "bone head" mistakes so we are to then assume that Obama is a bone head who does not have a clue on what is going on around him? If he can't control his own actions how can he run this country? Has anyone else noticed that Obama is not too bright? He clearly does not know what is going on!

Know why? Because it is right, dead right! Sure we can't blame Obama for what his minister said but we CAN blame him for listening this trash, to staying with this church, for sticking up for this pastor, for trying to cover it up now the man has retired but if he had not of retired I bet you $5.00 Obama would still be going there anyway. Your right, they do teach hate and racism and it is disgusting and sick. No man who has listened to this kind of filth for twenty years could not have been affected by it, could not disagree with it as if he did he would have rejected it a LONG time ago and now when it bites him in the ass he can say I reject it? Ya right he does. What a liar. This article really ticked me off! Know why? Because it is right, dead right!

He clearly does agree with this type of thought. I live in Indiana and there is no way I would vote for anyone who hates America and his church is an extension of him as he goes there he clearly must share their value systems. SICK. Oh and by the way...GOD BLESS AMERICA! For him to keep going to this church with their preaching and racist attitudes is a hypocrisy. He clearly does agree with this type of thought.

Why would a presidential candidate go to a church like this, not renounce it and now talk about his former pastor? He would still be the pastor of Obamas church if he didn't JUST retire. I am sorry Obama but this is a little to late and a mile to short. You can't white wash twenty years of this type of teaching in one week. There is no way to recover from this, no way at all. You have duped this country, lied over and over again and are not fit to be the President. Step down and do what is right, clean up your act and then try again some other time when you have yourself together. Currently you have no business being in the race for being President. You sir re as disgusting as your minister by saying you reject these actions but refusing to leave the church you clearly show you accept them. This will be another back room deal just like NAFTAGATE. He will tell us one thing and then be on the phone with the preacher crying, I am soooo sorry man I have to say these things but you know how I really feel. Obama lies so much he can't keep them all straight. Think about it people. Why? Why would a presidential candidate go to a church like this, not renounce it and now talk about his former pastor?

I have been to black churches several times with friends and sometimes they are very exciting as the preacher gave out the word on Jesus but I have never, ever seen anything like this one. This way of preaching is not acceptable. You don't teach people to hate a country. Your thought is not that weird as I thought the same thing.

It would be a lie on anyone's part to say that a person who has that much influence in your life does not inform your thinking. It would be impossible for it not to. In all fairness i have only heard Rev. Wrights messages that have been televised as of late, so I can't say that he is always like this, however what I will say, is that much of what I've heard is taking the bible completely out of context and making it say things it absolutely does not say. I don't see how his message, is helping "his people." Its obvious that is what he's about. Obama does not have that option. If he is going to be president, then he must be everyones president, not just "his people's" president, and by the way, if he is going to represent "his people," and "his people are defined by his race, than, "his people are as much white as they are black, because he is as much white as he is black. This is a question that should be posed to him. "Is he ashamed of his White background?" I believe it is an important question. I will say to that we should be careful that we do not put all African American people even people who are not in agreement with us politically in the same boat as Jeremiah Wright, because that would be a shame, and only create more division, because its just not true.
