McCain: I have never questioned Rev. Wrights' patriotism, and service for one's country in the

[Doityourself]

military always enhances my view of the individual. I do not hold Rev. Wright's comments against Sen. Obama, he's said he's rejects them..but I can understand if the American people do.

Not a direct quote, but pretty close to what he said on MSNBC. Clinton didn't respond to questions on Rev. Wright.

1. Well, then he should suggest that the American people...

...shouldn't question his patriotism.

2. I wouldn't wait on that one..

3. He has to say this to insulate himself from his own pastor problems.

6. Exactly.

4. "I don't say anything bad about Obama ... my surrogates and representatives do ...

and the media lets that slide ... however, one person who attended a Hillary 08 or Obama 08 and says something slightly off which, in pure Rube Goldberg fashion can be misconstrued into something slightly negative, and it's all the Dem candidate's fault ..."

5. Pastor Hagee, Pastor Hagee, Pastor Hagee, Pastor Hagee.

McCain courted him for an endorsement.

7. I fear Rev. Wright may be this generation's Willie Horton...

Does the Republican party ever plan to attract African-American voters? Attacking a retired, inner-city minister is no way to gain inroads with the black community. The Republicans are pretty stupid sometimes.

8. So you liken Rev Wright to a murder????

[Felix Mala]

11. Using video excerpts of Rev. Wright in Republican ads to attack Obama

the way they used photos of Horton to attack Dukakis. Get it?

9. Fuck patriotism. Flags kill.

And why? For the almighty dollar. Patriotism is a huge con.

10. Hillary's supporters should only be so fair minded. nt
