Sorta Blogless Sunday Pinup…

Happy Sunday! Another fantastic, albeit rainy, day in America. Though, we need the rain badly here in North Carolina. It is almost baseball time! Do you have your antenna’s ready for the reception? This fine lady by Gil Elvgren is making sure he…

Interesting…Obama wants this 20 year relationship with Wright ignored. This is not about Wright, he is not trying to become the POTUS. This is not about Wright’s freedom of speech or thought. This is not about an individual’s right to go to whatever church they choose.

This is about Obama and what his core beliefs are. I refuse to believe that Obama sat in that church for 20 years listening to those “sermons” and came away unaffected. He sought council from this man. He considers this man to be his mentor and spiritual adviser and somehow we are to believe that Obama only listens to half of what this “pastor” preaches.

Sorry, Michelle and Barack have already let slip a few remarks that expose what they REALLY think about this country and the people that live here. They stayed with Wright as long as they have because Wright preaches what they WANT to hear.

I've been saying this since the Obama race speech: when Obama said Wright "embodies the black experience in Christianity," he was lying through his damned teeth. I've attended dozens of black churches, and spent the first 20 years of my Christian experience (beginning at age 19) under the leadership of black pastors. Wright's racist rhetoric is not typical at all. The average black minister sounds more like a moderate but loud Jerry Falwell than he does like a Louis Farrakhan. I wrote about this on my blog when I first read the speech. I've been waiting for blacks to speak up and say so, and I'm glad that at least one has.

N'Obama isn't the only one tarred by associations with liberation theology. It appears that the Clintons have a history of attending a church with such Leftist leanings durning their own White House years. The pastor there claims that Wrigh's sermons are defensible. Crazy world.

I agree with what he’s saying. I just have to figure out why he’s saying it. He’s a democrat afterall.

While I agree with Nutter, there's a much bigger story behind this. Michael Nutter's animosity toward Barack Obama goes way back.

I believe Nutter. I would say any christian hearing Wright’s “sermons” would have walked out in the middle of them. Those staying obvious feel as he does and sorry that is not what Jesus taught. Forget the guy’s name. I hope this Wright and Obama bashing doesn’t stop and wears Obama down and maybe a consciense will emerge from Obama, and he’ll come to his senses that he has spent almost half his life being a racist himself. I pray that he will.

He’s just a Clinton lackey trying to score on Hussein. I don’t believe him for a minute.

I don’t agree with your conclusion, and I have no idea if McCain is a “hero” of the Captain, but I was puzzled by that too.

The Wright Stuff won’t be disappearing. Hillary Clinton will see to that, and we can expect more repudiations like this in other states. If Hillary manages to win with these tactics, she won’t have much of a Democratic Party coalition to lead.

Huh? Are you implying that’s a bad thing: that one black minister condemns another for outrageous race baiting?

So exactly how is your hero, McCain, going to win — by ignoring the blatant racism that Obama, over the course of 20 years, somehow failed to notice?

Good luck with that — your candidate will be mincemeat about a month after Obama wins the nomination.

The underwear models that took over John Gibson’s slot spent a half hour on how none of those has effected Obama yesterday. It was like an Obama group orgy.

Fox News has really become like the mind of Shepard Smith meets Ken and Barbie. Awful.

Today, African-American Philadelphia mayor and Hillary backer Michael Nutter tells ABC News that he would have not waited 20 years to air an objection to Wright’s sermons. Nutter says he would “absolutely” have quit after hearing any of the rhetoric that has been aired:

How about just saying, “I wouldn’t have joined that Church in the first place!”

Huh? Are we discussing Wright because Hillary is behind the curtain pulling our strings?

Damning with faint praise.

Hizzoner isn’t going to vote Republican, no matter what.

To distance himself from Reverend ‘Nutball’ Wright is really a no-brainer, particularly if he wants to avoid problems is a fractious town like Phillie. The anti-white, anti-semitic, anti-Christian rhetoric is repulsive and repugnant.

Hillary gets the endorsement by default. Whoopee.

I’ll bet she’s all moist at the news.

The good mayor seems smarter than the average ~~ass~~ donkey, but I wonder if he is related to those other fine Democrat families:

The Bush Lied People Died Nutters
