IM SICK TO DEATH OF REVEREND WRIGHT AS AN ISSUE
DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE GAS TO GO UP?

DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE THE WAR IN IRAQ?

DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING?

DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE HEALTH INSURANCE TO SKYROCKET?

DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE MORTGAGES TO FAIL?

DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE VETERANS TO GO HOMELESS?

DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE THE NATIONAL DEBT?

DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE ILLEGAL WIRETAPPING AND SPYING?

DOES REVEREND WRIGHT CAUSE TORTURE AT GITMO?

ENOUGH WITH THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT ARGUMENT/ISSUE. ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH!!!

REVEREND WRIGHT'S SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA'S JUDGEMENT WHEN IT COMES TO ANY OF THESE ISSUES!!!!!!! NONE AT ALL!!!

IF AMERICA JUDGES THIS ELECTION ON SOMEONES PASTER, THEN WE DESERVE TO CONTINUE TO SINK INTO A FUCKING 3RD WORLD COUNTRY HATED BY EVERYONE ELSE.

I AM SO FED UP WITH THIS BULLSHIT!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

3. I am so sorry that you have become...
so weary of your candidates "spiritual adviser", It's a shame that it took so long for your guy to find out about all that stuff the reverend said when Obama was not in church. It's such a shame that such a close Friend and mentor has turned his back in such a big way.Obama should be more careful in his selection of "advisers" and "mentors".Or maybe he should have kicked him to the curb a year ago while he still could. Your candidate even thinks it is a "legitimate campaign issue", So I suggest you contact your candidate with your concerns.

12. Incorrect
Wright has nothing to do with jobs, the economy, the price of gasoline, health care or education. Those are issues.

A distraction is something used by opponents and the media to avoid talking about the issues, especially when they can't gain any polling points on real issues.

21. Well, we can agree that pretending does not make things so
But we'll have to agree to disagree on exactly who's whistling past the graveyard.

22. So then why is McCain's accepted endorsment of his crazy pastor
not an issue? Ever hear of separation of church and state? If the election is crazy pastor against crazy pastor I'll put Wright up against McCain's loony any day. I won't even mention the Clinton's involvement in the Washington prayer group, Wright looks positively brilliant compared to the Santorum's, Inhof's and Brownback's who are part of that group.

and get on with fighting the loser. I don't see Obama or Hillary losing to this nutcase.

39. Not a prayer? He said it in church. By the way, what did he mean by that "God damn America".....?
Did he mean 'God damn white America'? Certainly not 'God damn black America'? So what did he mean?

I know, I'll go find the context. That always helps.

I was going to post something very very similar to the OP...caps and all. I think that from now on when someone (anyone) brings up Wright as an issue...I will pronounce them Wrighted.

No more distractions.

41. Who keeps starting all the Rev. Wright threads?
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 12:09 PM by NNN0LHI
First we were told to STFU about Rev. Wright and that this would all blow over soon.

Then we went through the Rev. Wright is the second coming of Jesus Christ and were all encouraged to listen and watch more of him stage here.

Now everyone wants him to go away again?

But the threads keep coming.

I don't get it. I think I am missing something.

I haven't watched news for 4 days...I grab what info I need online, I tried to watch Tweety and KO last night, but having this Reverend Wright bullshit shoved down my throat is really beginning to insult my intelligence. :banghead:

The corporate media find some shiny thing to distract us from what their masters don't want us talking about. America is dysfunctional and effectively insane.
