The Jeremiah Wright Connection (The Best Article I've Seen Yet On This)

I completely agree with you that Obama's campaign is over because he won't be out of reasonable doubt for his credibility, judgment and eventually electability as his STRONG tie with the "anti-American" pastor Rev. Wright. He has too much to denounce his "mentor" and "uncle" who has been associated with him for too long. The church he, his wife (who just realized to be proud of this country recently, sounds familiar?), and his family are associated is full of hatred stirred by this pastor. There is no way people are going to believe that he is beyond the doubt and coming out of that hatred clean. Republicans will attack him relentlessly on this if Hillary's campaign doesn't.

I am very sad about our great loss of such inspirational, smart, and young candidate. I guess we have no choice but dumping him. Next Monday and Tuesday we will see people come out to ask him to quit the campaign...OMG, politics is too dirty...

yes they should be hold accountable....blacks, are by most standards the most racist ethnic
group. but they wont admit to this fact...they think like victims, and are paronoid, and feel
they have gotten a bad deal.. the fact is they think also they should be giving money
by the gov, like the japanese had... give me!! give me!! give me!!......
not all of them mind you, but a lot of them dooo....

Yikes! Funny enough, I can fully see where the Reverend was coming from. When he says "Rich White Man" he is referring to Aristocrats. While the sound of the Reverend preaching is very passionate, how can we blame him? Didn't many people in the U.S. have questions about the Government's Involvement in 9/11? Didn't many people question the 9/11 Commission's failure to address key concerns relating to the attacks? Have you ever been fired from your job because you just didn't seem for fit the mold or 'clique' well? Do we even know what is really going on in the World?

A voice speaks out about the possible link between the Current Administration and the attacks. Never mind Prescott Bush behind a Financial Group that orchestrated the Great Depression, never mind the Bush Sr.'s Involvement with the CIA right before JFK's assassination in TEXAS. Never mind the pride we once took in being a Fair, Just, and rational country of the people. Now we'll dismiss any thoughts that don't align themselves with what we grew up believing this Country stood for. Condemn a person for invoking a right to question the powers who be.

When will you begin to think for yourselves? When you fold your arms, and say "Yes Master" *blink*
If you were raised to be ignorant, what would be your first clue?

Thanks for the seed. It was the best article I have seen yet it even made me join the gathering, seems there are some art groups there. I have found many articles as well in my Google search for Rev Wright. My husband and I have late night talks, he works second shift. He said this we would never vote for a white supremacist nor would we vote for a someone who still attends a church like Trinity. Either way it is wrong.

I agree Obama is under an avalanche. Maybe there is something wrong with me I don't feel sympathy for him, not yet anyways. (Maybe because he won more delegates in Iowa this weekend.) I however recognize his naievete. How could he think that his church and the mentorship of Rev Wright would not become an issue?

It bothers me that he went to the press with the additional monies from Rezko he received. He did this so it would not see the light of day so to speak. I noticed it. He even claimed in his interview that some of the money could not be returned or given to charities because it had already been spent. He also said that he does not have finance records from earlier campaigns because he did not have the organization then that he has now.

Maybe it hasn't hurt him in Iowa but according to comments I have been reading at ABC and other sites the good citizens of North Carolina are asking a lot of questions.

@dugan I agree with your last statement above.

Well... I guess its a good thing that Jeremiah Wright isn't the one running for president then!

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.....you are what you eat. Does that make sense ? Its simple really. You are what you consume. You are the sum of those you associate with. Did youre mother ever tell you not to hang out with someone because they were bad news ? Dont try to tell me YOU dont understand. I AM A WHITE MAN. I GREW UP IN A LESS THAN DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOOD, that doesnt matter. I, ME, I, MADE THE DECISION, to seperate myself from those who went in the other direction. Obama has gone to this "church" for TWENTY years !!! If he, is not man enough to say this Mr. Wright is WRONG, than Obama is not a man I would want as the leader of this country. You cannot go to someones church, be married by them, have a book named by them and have them baptise your children UNLESS you agree with them. I LOVE THE PASTOR OF MY CHURCH, BUT, If this same information came from his mouth, I would no longer BE a member of my his church. You are talking about a canidate to be the leader of the free world !! Who you associate with DOES mean something. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT !!! PERIOD !! ACCOUNTABILITY !!! WHAT KIND OF MAN OR WOMAN DO YOU WANT LEADING THIS COUNTRY ?

GOD BLESS YOU AND EVERY AMERICAN.

I thought the article was pretty good, but, almost by coincidence, I have found it plagarizes large parts of this article by Jim Davis

Obama credits Wright with converting him to Christianity, yet would have us believe he had no clue of the hateful bigoted racist remarks attributed to Jeremiah Wright?

Converting him to Christianity? Humm wonder what he was 21 years ago.

I like my Conservative friend above dwhee74 (although I am a liberal Democrat) grew up in a less then desirable neighborhood also. In the late 50's and 60's the neighborhood went from a melting pot to hot spot. Being one of only 2 white kids to graduate from Junior High in 1962 to say the least was a challenge. My friends were Puerto Rican and Black we stuck together and if kids from another neighborhood came in to start trouble we gave them hell. We didn't have hate for each other as we were all in the same boat. To hear his man spew this garbage simply pisses me off.

This is nothing more than a religious test through the media. I don't care what faith one has or how one practices it, as long as they are fit to be President based upon their own actions. We don't have a religious test of the faith of Presidential candidates, but that is exactly what people have been doing by proxy. If people don't like his politics say so, loud and clear. Make the political points. All this other stuff is getting into an area even our founding father's didn't want to go. It was brought up with Romney for being Mormon, and might have well cost him, and the GOP the Presidency. But we never know.

Faith and religion should be off the table and candidates should be taken at their word in matters of faith and religion. This is not only an attack on Trinity, and Obama, but the thousands of members and adherents of the UCC. I am appalled that now we exploit footage taken in the sanctuary of the church to cast aspersions of doubt on the faith and sincereness of anyone, whether a Presidential candidate, or any citizen.

This may be only a feeding frenzy of sorts to the gleeful right now. But when we sink this low, it will come back to haunt many, to insitigate "witch hunts" to shut down churches, private schools, to add to investigations of civil servants, for the purpose of driving down attendance of competing denominations. Anyone who thinks this is all a good thing, wait until it becomes part of regular background checks, of local politics, when people can't run for school superintendent because of their preachers point of view. I will bet this will spread as a new tactic in character assasination.

I SUPPOSE ALL THE WHITE CHRISTIAN AND CATHOLIC CHURCHES FEEL VINDICATED FOR ALL THEIR TRANSGRESSION OF HATE, SEXUAL ABUSE, RACISM AND OTHER HYPOCRITICAL ACTIONS ON THEIR SIDE OF THE FENCE. WHEN FREEDOM OF SPEECH GOES OUT THE WINDOW SO DOES THE CONSTITUTION WHICH BUSH ALREADY CONDEMNED. PEOPLE FOLLOWED THE WORD OF BUSH WHO LIED AND THOUSANDS DIED. FOR WHAT? I HOPE MR OBAMA STANDS ON HIS DIGNITY AND FOLLOW THE TRUTH IN HIS HEART TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE USA. EVERYBODY ELSE HAS FAILED. EVEN MR. MC CAINS SPIRITUAL ADVISOR HAS TWISTED THOUGHTS FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. WHEN WILL THE MEDIA REPORT ON THOSE ISSUES? KEEP THE PLAYING FIELD EQUAL.

Boy, I must be doing ok, if the worst you can say is my grammer sucks !! Thanks for the compliment, and God bless you too.
