Obama's Pastor
- full story link at bottom. All quotes from article -

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

""We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001" [Look at date, 5 days after 9/11]

"Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope.""

This man married Barack and Michelle, baptized his two daughters, gave Obama his book title, is close friends with Louis Farrakhan, and travelled to Libiya with Farrakhan to meet Omar Kadafi.

Oh yes, remember this man is a PASTOR of a church that is tax exempt and he has openly supported Barack Obama, 'preaching' in church sermons.

Obama has better qualities to be President why?

Because "Hillary ain't never been called a ******!" - Pastor Jeremiah Wright

yeah! way to go! lets base or opinion of a presidential candidate on what his pastor does! woo hoo!

sounds like you just did the same thing as those other people posting somebody elses thoughts instead of your own.

Umm... you mean I am suppose to paraphrase a direct quote spoken by a man or put it into my own words? lol

I put a big section of my own thoughts.

And wisen up. Barack Obama has declared this man his spiritual advisor, given big donations to the church, and on and on.

Do you think it is not relevant that the church he claims to be a member of is racist? If that was a white church and McCain was a member would it be a big deal? Sorry, you want to hide the facts and give this guy the presidency because he wants "hope" and "change" and doesn't have a clue on how to do it.

You simply cannot touch this man. His fairy dust is a very powerful drug.

get the facts straight, i don't care if he wins or not. personally i think we haven't had anybody worth voting for in over a century so no i don't want to hand him the presidency and hide from truth.

i think your all mindless zombies that post whatever the politicians spread around like it's all fact. face it you know the facts about as well as anybody else and since you claim everybody else is hiding them then you must be as well. stop listening to other people and think for yourself for a change. maybe thats the problem with this damned country, nobody can think for themselves. we vote for who were told is the best people but have no choice in who they are. then everybody like me who refuses to vote gets told we can't complain cuz we didn't vote. well guess what? we're the only ones who should get to complain cuz we're not perpetuating this little lost sheep syndrome you call democracy.

Killed your entire following statement immediately.

My facts are straight. Unless someone put a lookalike in a video and had them say this stuff then my facts are dead on.

I never said anything wild about Obama. I said he is close to this man and has not come out and distanced himself from him. That's it.

azrae11......

Yes, we do need to base our opinion of a presidential candidate on what his pastor does. It is part of the candidate's ability to render good judgment. It is important for the president of the USA to have judgment skills.

Obama has proven he doesn't have the ability to judge people. Otherwise, he never would have affiliated himself with an anti-American, racist pastor and supported him with large gifts of money for over 20 years. The only reason Obama is distancing himself from this pastor is because he is running for president and the Right Wing has picked up on this.

Obama's pastor, Rev. Wright, claims that America invented the AIDS disease for the sole purpose of wiping out African Americans plus what was noted above and even more. There is a tape floating around on cable TV that gives a glimpse of this pastor's rhetoric. Watch cable and you will catch it.

azrae11......

You are calling us mindless zombies. I checked out your profile to figure out where you are coming from. I want to remind you that this is what you posted about yourself under the "About Me" section,

"surgeon general's warning: talking to and or around [azrae11] can have serious adverse effects to a person's mental and physical health, also has been known to cause mental retardation in children and small puppies if exposed for long periods of time. if you have come in physical contact with [azrae11] consult a doctor immediately. if oral contact has occurred flush mouth with water and contact you local poison control center. if sexual contact has occurred may god have mercy on your soul."


Considering what you posted on your profile about yourself, you shouldn't be so quick to call those of us on this thread names.

I have a perfect solution to the problem of the president. We hire a voodoo witch doctor to reserect teddy roosevelt. He was the last worthwhile pres. we had.

azrae11.....

Something else I want to add is that Obama's pastor is the man who Obama says is his moral compass. This pastor is the man who inspired Obama's best selling book “Audacity Of Hope.” Indeed, we do need to look at Obama's pastor since Obama opened the door and extended the invitation.

Personally I'd have thought JFK.



However getting back to Obama. If he has a Pastor, was married by the Pastor, had his children baptized by this Pastor. Why have we seen threads where he is called a Muslim? Make up my mind here. I am trying to get a handle on all this but with all the mudslinging from both sides small wonder nobody can make an 'informed' opinion and decision.

Obama was a Muslim, but when he decided to go into politics, he became Christian since he felt he couldn't make it politically as a Muslim.

Thats what bothers me about him (among other things) he always tries to hide the fact that he was muslim. If he didnt do anything wrong and wasnt planning on it in the future he wouldnt have worried what his religion was. just my .02. Dont realy care what religion he is personaly.

So, what do you think? Do you believe Obama still has a chance at the presidency now that all of the cable news channels are carrying the story about Rev. Wright? I don't believe Obama didn't know about Wright's wild rhetoric. I saw Obama on three different cable channels. He stated he had been going to Wright's church for 17 years and never knew the guy was anti-American and racist. That is completely unbelievable. If Obama is telling the truth then he is a fool. So it doesn't matter if he is a fool or a liar, he doesn't belong in the White House.

So some kid down the street says something outlandish and it gets caught on tape, this in turn would make me a bad guy because I associate with this kid? Or on the other hand how many of you have been in the same situation? Seperation of church and state, we are all going to be in really, really bad shape if we don't start recognizing this.

he'll still win....i would rather a pres that believes in free speech than one that believes in only one speech, his own.....a racist kills another race....not calls them names....and since when is questioning the GOVERMENT anti-american....it is the people that make america, not the government.....the best thing in the world for america is all questioning the powers that control it, or power is left to it's own demise....absolute power corrupt, and that is what wewant to offer up on a silver platter, blind trust.........ANYTHING THAT IS TRUE HAS TO BE PROVEN TO BE TRUE OR ALL LIVE IN LIES.....

if anybody dosen't vote it is because they see that they really don't and can't get enough facts to actually be informed, as all the data we have float downhill from the top....we are already in trouble

Theres no point in voting becouse our vote only counts for two things jack and sh*it. You want proof. Take a look at either last election or the first bush election. (i cant remember which it was) The people voted aginst bush and he lost the popular vote but he won the electoral college vote and so we were stuck with bush wheather we wanted him or not.
