Martin Luther King said God would make US pay for Vietnam war

This is so you see how Wright's words were not as outrageous as you may have heard.
Even the great MLK agreed that,

God didn't call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war. . . . And we are criminals in that war. We've committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I'm going to continue to say it. And we won't stop it because of our pride and our arrogance as a nation. But God has a way of even putting nations in their place.
(February 4, 1968)

4. Actually, Hillary also held up a headline that read BUSH KNEW about 9-11 on the senate floor
in 2002, and hurriedly retreated after the first backlash as if it never happened.

Bet the GOP has those pics waiting to use. Or....HAD those pics ready when she used to have a chance.

5. There's no difference between King and Wright
when it comes to social justice. People bitching about Wright were just looking for a reason to bitch about Obama anyway.
