Yes, and any words to say he didn’t is a lie.

Of course he knew. The man was Obama’s adviser.

He lied because he wants to be president. . . . duh!

I am not an Obama supporter but personally I could care less!! I am sure most people don’t know everything their “pastor” is doing

don’t believe that baloney
of course obama knew.

You seem to forget one thing. Obama is an American.

You;re the one with the problem.

I think he is in big trouble. I thought the story would have gone way by n ow, but it is still all over the news. This is definitely not going to help him either.

Obama knew, Obama was there on several occassions when such speech’s were said. Fact.

You’ve got a good point but that doesn’t mean he asked him to speak for him in such a way. The guy makes black people look bad.

I hope we aren’t our friends. Some of my friends are pretty weird.

I definitely think he knew of them

but I am unconviced that the rants of Wright were ongoing themes

people have heard 3min of carefully picked excerpts and think they are experts on the last 20 years of his church. . . When all his sunday masses are on video and sold. . . . . something about that doesn’t pass my BS test

He’s been going to that church for 20 years. He said the pastor is like his uncle. Sounds to me like he’s getting caught in the middle of a lie.

I personally think Rev Wrights comments are not that big a deal.

This is what these preachers do, this is nothng new.

These churches are half showmanship, lots of them get outlandish- it sells tickets

Of course. Write sold videos of them and worked on Obama’s campaign, until recently.

Absolutely. In all the 20 years that he has attended and listen to the Anti-White rants, I’m sure he’s added an “Amen” here and there.

yes, His wife is a black militant herself

That doesn’t matter to me.

I’m still voting for him. You know what I’m going by? THE ISSUES. REMEMBER THOSE!!!!!?

Yes, and it is deeply disturbing that Obama felt the need to cozy up to this kind of bigot. He obviously felt a deep association with Wright’s beliefs.

Obama is a “green” politician. There is no doubt that Obama knew how inflammatory and hateful Pastor Wright’s sermons were. I cannot believe that in 20 years, Obama was not in church when such rhetoric was spoken. Pastor Wright embraces and teaches black theology. I’ve done a little research on what that means and it was very apparent that these theologians blame white America for everything. I’ve been a strong supporter of Obama, but now I have serious doubts of his moral character.

20 years. of course he knew

If you are gullible and naive and love Obama then you would say no . . but if you had any common sense you would say yes . . . if Obama was playin poker on this very issue i would call his BLUFF!

how can you be a member of a church for 20 years and not know how your pastor feels on certain issues

After being in his church for 20 years, you better believe it. If he did not, I think he would be just too ignorant to be President of the United States.

Ah, democracy in action.

UPDATE, 11:51 p. m. : Searching my inbox, I noticed that the Obama campaign has announced seven superdelegate pickups since March 4. So there might be something to my “steady drip” theory. With seven weeks until Pennsylvania, a constant stream of superdelegate endorsements is a good way to create the impression of momentum–whether or not the supers in question decided to endorse today, yesterday or last month. Conversely, a sudden flood this week might’ve struck observers as a show of pre-March 4 support–and left them wondering whether Obama could keep attracting superdelegates after Clinton’s wins in Ohio and Texas. Now it *looks like* he is.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama

Black voters, a disaffected young and independent electorate coupled with a disenchanted Black community can easily translate into a drop off of 20% of the turnout.

This calculus can be even more devastating in the 11 states that had African American voter turnout percentages of 13% or more in 2004.

As the young people might say- the Democrats better recognize!

Nancy Pelozi doesn’t care who will be the best president. Nancy Pelozi is only interested in her representatives electibility for the House, which Nancy controls.

Nancy Pelozi is looking less and less attractive as a political figure. She says the right things the Democrats want to hear, and next thing you know, there she is smiling, and grinning ear to ear, standing behind the President while he signs legislation we don’t want. gw.

I believe the correct term is St. Paddy’s day. D’s, not T’s. Otherwise, I find your analysis flawless.

Posted by: artemis26:So your argument is that “crossovers” would not vote for Obama in the general? Just clarifying, not being confrontational.

______________

I don’t think they will. He is untested. Has done little in the senate but run for president. The Wright story was not out when he was getting votes from whites due to his “unity” message. It falls flat now. As I said before, I think he loses that Wright issue any way you slice it. Either he didn’t think his church was controversial or he didn’t know. Which is it? Supporting someone who you say is your “mentor” who says “appalling” things with thousands of dollars is worse than saying them yourself. At least the pastor is being honest.

NO OBAMA. My reasons are expressed here.

I believe Barak Obama did know this pastor’s views. He was a member of his congregation after all.

The question is to what degree does Barak Obama agree with the radical racist views of Wright? Right now there can only be speculation on that unless Barak Obama speaks on this matter point by point.

If Barak Obama says he disagrees, then you’ll have to either take him at his word, or consider him to be lying. There is essentailly no net difference to the voting public, because the people inclined to believe Barak Obama are the ones who have been supporting him all along. The people inclined to think he is lying are the people who were planning to vote for someone else anyway, and are glad they have a better pretext for not voting for him.

I don’t think he knew all that his pastor said as we all don’t go to church every Sunday,and he was in Washington DC a lot of the time,plus we never know all that our Friends really think

I think so, but this does not mean he agree with him. Do you agree with some white baptist pastors who preach hate against muslim americans?

who cares??? this man’s radical views are not reflected in obama’s. i believe that people are looking for anything and everything to bring this man down. he’s leading in the polls though isn’t he? you people need to realize that it is ok for people to have their own views and opinions. chill out and exercise your right to vote if you’re so bothered by this man’s radical views and obama supporting him.

NO Doubt he knew and condoned it.

That the way the cookie crumblies

Obama and Wright can exit stage left anytime now.

Both are history
Obama has no chance of being President now

Bye Bye Obama

Barack Obama could not have known, personally I don’t believe that this Wright even spoke of his own accord.

The Clintons paid this man to make these remarks so they could stir up the media and arouse hatred toward Obama so that while peoples attention was taken off of the REAL issues they’d be bashing an innocent man and could steal the White House from Obama and betray the American people into the hands of Satan himself.

I only pray that people will awake from slumber and realize that the Clintons are traitors who value nothing more than to see the nation divided over foolish arguments while they go about their dirty business.

May God help Barack Obama.

Of course he knew. Newsmax. com had an article today saying one of their reporters attended a service there with Obama where Ani-American sermons were given in July of last year. But for anyone to claim that they were that close to someone for 20 years and never knew something that was so overt and publicly known is preposterous. Even Obama’s diehard supporters are not buying that lie. They just don’t care. But He knew. He chose to belong to that church out of all the thousands of churches he could have chosen. He picked the one that most fit with his beliefs. He is as racist as his pastor. It would be different if he was born into that church and was tied to it by family and tradition. Then he could make excuses for tolerating its prejudice. But he was an atheist before he chose to go to that church. He has no excuse. He chose to follow what was in his own heart. And it led him to hate.

Yes he knew, but I honestly believe that Obama thinks that he can pretty much say anything, defy everyone, and stand on nothing and still become president.
