I don't know how big a church goer you are...I'm not...but do you (or
would
you think) you would agree with every word...every opinion put forward by
a
cleric of any denomination? Do you think Obama attended *all* Wright's
services? Do you have evidence that Wright even repeated that famous
tirade
that has been shown a million times on every media outlet in the country
ad
nauseum?
Now...how many times have we seen clips of Hagee and his infamous
comments?
Did we see those repeated multiple times daily, linked to the McCain
campaign by the vast liberal media? And that's to not even mention
McCain's
relation****p with two of the most high profile and politically active and
outrageous preachers I've ever encountered, Robertson and Falwell. When
did
McCain repudiate and divorce himself from THEM? Answer...he didn't...and
he
wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell without the bigots who follow
those
ministries. Yet Obama took the very real risk of alienating a segment of
his own base in that very act of repudiation of Wright.
Yes...Obama was involved in that church. Doubtless *because* it was the
church of choice of his political base. That church did countless good
works in the community and doesn't deserve the smearing over a few stupid
and ill chosen remarks by it's leader. I don't know anyone who is pure as
the driven snow on everthing. Do you agree with everything McCain and
*his*
preachers say? Do *you* believe the people of New Orleans were being
punished by The Almighty for their "sins"? If you do...then to borrow a
phrase from Rev. Wright...well then God Damn you too!

Bull****! Where and when did he repudiate him and reject his sup****t and
sup****ters?
