and then he let slip, "as a republican" bla bla bla. then the host said but, you are a pastor bla bla bla. He was originally introduced as a pastor to give his view. Then it came out that he is a republican.
They will stop at nothing to bring Obama down. It does not matter what Wright says or said it will be something else if it wasn't this and finally if they fail at bring him down, don't put ANYTHING past them. They are terrified of Obama. Look at the crowds he brings, the money he raises, the shit they fling not sticking. Let's not let them win. Stop bashing Wright. Obama has the people behind him in money and support. Another thing while I have DU"s attention.

We should be ashamed as a people that we are ok with our politicians spending hundreds of millions in campaigns while people are starving to death. What does this say about us as an evolved species?

7. Clinton supporters WANT the RW FASCIST media to lie about Obama so they can continue to protect Bush
just as they were tapped to do in 1992.

10. It's MSNBC
I think you mean, I saw that too, and he's on there allllllll the time. I knew he was a jackass, but I didn't know he was a Republican. Pretending to be unbiased all this freaking time. I honestly would've never suspected that, I just thought he was another "holier-than-thou" hypocritical minister. The real definition of a jerk.

14. Sure thing.
Funny how they use all of these political figures and try to pretend they're neutral. This is the problem with media.

19. What was his name?
They also like to use Eugene Rivers to bash Obama/Wright. Yet they never mention that Rivers and Hillary are joined at the hip. How's that for fairness!?!

20. where do they find these black republican preachers?
There can't be more than ten or eleven of them in the entire USA.

But they are on every channel, castigating Rev Wright, and offering phony horror, while never saying a word about the outrageous things said by the Pope, or by some white preacher.

Those two on MSNBC are an embarrassment.

22. Black ministers are some of the most conservatives people in the country
and in my work as a community organizer working with ministers and being the granddaughter of a black Baptist minister I'm here to say that Republicans are (and have always been) alive and well in the black church.

21. Here is the worst part of this:
The military industrialist M$M prefers bashing Obama regarding Wright to bashing McCain over Hagee.

Don't people understand how it is far more de-moralizing to have Hagee denounce the gay community and the "sins of liberals" even going so far as to say that cities of gays and libersals should be destroyed by God, than to have a black minister decry the awfulness of the America of our collective, past but still recent, apartheid?

23. So by my count, there are 3 black Republicans -
this guy, Ken Blackwell and the crosseyed guy. They must be raking in cash as talking heads these days.

24. Remember the hoopla over...
"just words"? And MSNBC put a picture up of Osama bin Laden instead of Senator Obama?
