That's a little bit different, and I believe I'm through here.

Again, you initially based calling him a Closet racist on the notes you listed that you gathered from the internet regarding his quotes in his book....The fact that you had a problem with his past preacher was not mentioned in that post that I responded to....
I had a preacher that taught me for many years and I thought he was the next thing to God in my eyes at that time...he has since been convicted of Child Molestation....Did I have any idea...hell No, would I have ever supported him knowing this, Hell No...Am I a child molestor because I attended the church...Absolutely Not!
But I am done with this to because again...I personally don't get into the name calling and I vote for who I want based on what I want...and I won't belittle Mccain in that process because it's not my style.

Re: 2008 Presisdential election - poll

This was in my local paper:

Obama: Why Black America Should Have Doubts examines the character and intentions of the first African-American ever nominated for presidency from a major political party. The author, William Owens, Jr., argues that voting Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president can prove disastrous, if not a curse to the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and to the progress of Black Americans.
quote:
'The excitement of having a man on the presidential ballot whose skin is browner than any in recent American history is something to consider, said Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Many Black Americans are convinced that justice for those of us once known as Negroes in America will be done by electing a brown-skinned, African-European as President. Obviously, America is hungry for change, but America is looking in the wrong place, she said. Barack cannot deliver America. The Senators politics are neither a blessing nor praiseworthy.

Re: 2008 Presisdential election - poll

Well Not knocking your local newspaper's article...But I personally do not vote based on the color of anyone's skin...and that is certainly not the reason I am voting for Obama...and I am pretty sure all of the American Black people are not voting for him just because he happens to be Black.

Re: 2008 Presisdential election - poll

So if black people are voting for him because he's black, what's the excuse for all the other races that are voting for him, including white people? Just wondering, things that make you go hhmmmm.........

McCain is a d**k, no offense. He didn't have to refer to them in a racist way.
And he's running for president? hm... (rolls eyes)

Yes, as you say, you do have a problem with that, kimmy.
How do you know he never said anything against porported racist sentiments?

Did you visit that Church on a regular basis?

Quote:

that makes me wonder if he is in fact, a racist.

The Republicans are pulling out all the stops, in an effort to drudge up and *Re* drudge up any possible filth they can use in whatever way is most sinister, in order to defame the man's character.
Two Days left before The Election. 2.
Less than 48 hours before we can all go to the polls.

You cannot get into that church
when Senator Obama was a member,
unless you have a Tardis, or some other cool Time-travel device. ?

Quote:

he apparently doesn't have the balls to speak up against it, so what does that say?

He left that Church.
Of course, it will appear to many that he left that Church because being a member would hurt his campaign. Of course.

I attended an Orthodox place of worship when I was younger...for my grandmother. I attended because I love my grandmother sooo much.
(The person at that pulpit didn't preach hate of any kind, but if he/she *had,* being the person I am, I would have spoken up...even quietly.)
I stopped attending, as I was never actually religious.
My personal anecdote is but one tiny example...
You do not know, kimmy.
Please open your mind.
If you have made your decision, why spread more hate?

So now it's not because (suppresses a laugh) he is a closet racist, but because he might hurt you boyfriends career?
I guess anyone who's boyfriend works for the company that makes body bags better vote McCain as well!

After 8 years of republican mis-administration only die hard republicans are going to believe any of the GOP's promises.
So is it any wonder that these lords of misrule have only one weapon left, fear!

Eight years have passed and for the Dissembling, malfeasant GOP Judgement is at hand!

My excuse is:

I'll be damned if Sarah Palin was the next pres.

I am voting for Barack Obama because he cares.

I am voting for Barack Obama because his Soul shows through his Eyes
in a way I have never witnessed in any politician of my Lifetime.

I am voting for Barack Obama because I want *him* and people who are like-minded to be in my son's future.

I am voting for Barack Obama because he represents Humanity.

you know.. Rev. Wright is no different than any other fire and brimstone preacher. The times that Swaggart Graham pick your mega preacher has called on the "judgement" of america for her "wicked ways" are ENUMERABLE!
You guys were fed 30 seconds of a sound bites of highly rhetorical sermons and you base your entire opinion about this man.

You know nothing of the facts of his history.. like him being a US marine who received a commendation for his participation in the HEART surgery of linden johnson.
If hes such a racist.. why has he married inter racial couples and is part of a majority white denomination.. do the FACTS even matter or has your opinion been totally solidified by 30 second clips of sermons?

He may be an asshole.. but there are plenty of preachers that are assholes.. you can't call him a racist because he's obviously not and neither is OBAMA who's HALF WHITE

Doing such a fine job during the surgery of President Lyndon B. Johnson .. **can you see him standing there behind the pole

Just to clarify though, Wright wasn't President Johnson's nurse nor was he just 'the guy who wheeled the president in'.
Wright was a cardio pulmonary technician at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.
His full bio is here Jeremiah Wright: Biography from Answers.com
