Hmmmm
So a lefty preacher who condemns Israel's actions towards Palestine and America's bullying of the world... is now insane???

DU I hardly knew ye.

Although some of you who have previously gotten bent out of shape at the term "loony left", and are now doing the condemning, might want to get a mirror.

1. The bigger question is why is this being put out there again..and what happened
to Geraldine Ferraro's story...hmmmm..and the Clinton campaign remains so silent today!

Don't take the bait...there is nothing in this ceremony that is new..and I'm quite surprised the media is buying into the bait and switch, so easily.

4. I guess Ferraro was right - It was the last time Obama could play the race card

3. It seems to me
That the Clinton's have that effect on people - It was the same with Bill: Their real hard core supporters will alter their morals, their positions on issues, their perspective on events etc., in order to remain in agreement with the Clintons. I never quite got it but it's definitely there.

5. Some are jumping on Wright to distract from Ferraro's racist comments, and then there is Bush

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.

What did America do in her moment of "indignation" over the attacks (horrible and tragic as they were)?

America invaded a country that had nothing to do with the attacks, destroyed it and facilitated the killing of more than a million people!

Wright nailed it!

7. It's a desperate attempt!
They're hoping that this will help Hillary by trying to show how it will help McCain.

Wishful thinking!
