Wright on America

Obama sure seems to have a situation on his hands now. His "mentor", "uncle", and pastor Jeremiah Wright thinks America deserved 9/11--it was our "chickens coming home to roost." Instead of asking for God's blessings upon America, he asked for a curse: "God D-mn America!" He said--from the pulpit mind you--that Bill Clinton "did [blacks] just like he did Monica Lewinsky...he was riding dirty." He says America is run by "old rich white men." He visited Qadafi along with fellow good guy Louis Farrakan. Wonder what kind of operations they might have been planning.

Meanwhile, Obama has been a member of this church for 20 years. Wright presided at his wedding. Wright baptized his children. And now Obama says he had no idea until the past couple of days that his pastor had a history of racist and anti-American comments. Sure.

Kinda wish we had kept our powder dry till after he secured the nomination, but that's for another time.

What's great is the weekly refutation of supporters that Obama and Hillary are now engaged in. You have Farrakhan one week, then Ferraro the next, now Obama's pastor, etc. They are being made to look like fools.

Clearly Obama's pastor should be the worst of these, by far. Not only is his rhetoric the most outrageous, but his association with Obama is very tight. And for a campaign that is running on rhetoric, it makes words that much more important. However, the press has handled this story with kid gloves, if at all.

People accuse McCain of being lewd, crude, and rude. Yet Wright is being lewd, crude, rude, AND ANTI-American FROM THE PULPIT, and the press and Obama try to gloss it over.

In fact, I'm surprised Obama's camp hasn't tried to spin it as Wright's constitutional right to free speech.
