The Rev, Wright controversy is clearly only an issue on DU.
There has been NO mention of it in any major newspaper, NO mention of it on any Sunday Morning News show.

2. Well we know it's a big hit on Free Republic
so it must be a valid issue.

4. MTP - wiping it under the rug as we speak.
With support of HRC's supporter. She refuses to even discuss it.

8. It was pretty funny how she tossed it out there
Brought it up out of the blue just to say she wasn't going to talk about it. It was so transparent. She has the political skills of a 5 year old.

7. Heh.
My Brother-in-law is a Deacon
in a large Baptist Church that
is part of the Southern Baptist
Convention, he called me to make
sure I was aware of it and how
wrong it was for anyone to support
hate speech like that.

That is besides seeing it on the
alphabet networks on TV.

20. They can be for sure.
It still will not stop them
from condemning racial hate
speech. The Southern Baptists
stance on gays is stupid IMO but,
they base it on the Bible quote
about 'man shall not lay with man'
or something like that. The Southern
Baptist Church here is very open to
and accepting of gay members. Not
many of the Southern Baptist Churches
are.

9. Hmmmmmm
Granted I'm in the UK, but I saw it on MSNBC this morning, CNN, Fox, The BBC and SkyNews those pretty much cover the new channels we get. You want me to list the umpteen online newspapers that are carrying it as well?:eyes:

17. It was heavily played on Faux
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 11:14 AM by MissWaverly
It is the new "Willie Horton" ploy, they are going to use it to hurt Obama in Pennsylvania, they need the big Dems to come out
and to do damage control, if not this swiftboating will continue to give us races that are run on fluff and not competency.
Does the skin color of a president really matter? What is his competency to perform his duties in the Executive Office. The
Republicans are going to run on this, they have no record to run on, it is another 2004 trash the opposition campaign.
We need people like Al Gore and Jimmy Carter and Michael J. Fox to come out and say, these videos of Rev. Wright are
given weight because of race. Extremist statements have been made by Rev. Hagee as well who supports Sen. McCain.
Obama is not going to let his minister run the country any more than JFK was going to let his Pope run the country.
We have seperation of church and state in this country for a reason and it is to prevent those who hold extremist
views from ruling for the majority.

25. The church has them all, I bet Obama would not even have to buy them
He had tapes when he went to Harvard and practiced his mentor in giving speeches

Here is link to the articles I listed of his knowing
