trouble defending them. I have pointed out Barack "chose ' this church and has attended for 20 years. Wright married Michelle and barack.He baptized their children. The great think is barack is quoted by Brian Ross on ABC as saying that he soesn't find his church "controversial" LOL!

Also, Barack not only chose the church, he gave Wright special status in his book. He's not just a pastor, he's a friend and mentor.

folks don't realize that this could take down the whole democratic side of the race.

It's time for Obama to quote Gary Hart, "let's go home."

5. Some of these people truly have no clue |
|
how bad has the potential to be. One posted something like "My mom says shit like that all the time! Doesn't mean I'm like her!" Duh. Or the ones who post how right he is. Well, good luck with that attitude getting votes for the GE. It looks like a handful at least seem to get how bad this is. But not too many.

10. I read that and found it creepy |
|
so many say "I agree 100%". I can't agree with anyone 100% that preaches such hate.

13. Imagine if the tables were turned |
|
and a David Duke racist quote was supported and a 'fan' thread started for him? It would be down the memory hole so quick it would not be funny. It is not OK to be racist against African-Americans but it is OK to be racist against Whites reading some of the posts in GDP. One poster states that with all the racism African-Americans have put up with, White people have no right to speak out against racism against whites.

11. That preacher is scary! |
|
He looked like Beelzebub himself when I saw him waving around his arms. He probably had spittle running down the sides of his mouth.
And that was OBAMA!

12. Obama TALKS about unity and moving beyond race. Why does he go to a racist church then? |
|
The hypocrisy will hurt him as much as Wright's words. This is just the latest example of Obama's hypocrisy on the heels of NAFTAgate and Power admitting his Iraq platform is "just words"...

16. Too bad all of this didn't come out earlier in the primaries though... |
|
I fear we're going to be stuck with him as the nominee, and no matter how much the Obama supporters on DU scream it & want to believe it, I have high doubts that he can beat McCain in the GE.

15. I can't believe the defenses I've read of this preacher, all for the sake of Obama |
|
I might be able to understand that some folks may well share those views. What I don't understand is how these folks think his rhetoric will or should get a pass in this campaign.
One poster comes on and goes, calm down. It looks like a potential meltdown to me.
