one time bad day? I will have to disagree with you there.
Also should the members of the San Francisco Diocese be punished for being members?
That message The Rev is preaching isnt even original. He is getting it from the conspiracy theories of the 60's hippies. That and the distorted view of WWII this guy has isnt his own idea either. I agree with you guys in that I think the Rev. is a j@ack@ss and a bigot who needs to go to school for some more history lessons.
but your point about lockstep helps my point. What you are seeing is sound bites of what this guy says outside of his Sunday sermons taken from over 20 years. Believe me if he had anything else bad to say it would have been shown. So maybe Obama doesn't walk lockstep with that particular view of the rev.
Disagree again. Obama has even referred to this guy being like an "Uncle" to him. This guy doesn't go around for 20 years secretly holding these views. And on top of that, Obama I am confident has long known about these views since he is so close to the man. If Obama is any kind of man deserving of being the POTUS then he would have cut ties with a church like this long ago. But he didn't, so he isn't worthy. Not that I thought he was before this, but this is just disgraceful. Don't see how a person could defend belonging to such a church. If my pastor delivered one sermon or even if I heard him speaking in a casual conversation with messages like these I would leave my church that day, for good.
This may shed some light on BHO's wife's previous statements about not being proud of America. There's more to this.
Why does there need to be more to this? It's bad enough for Obama as it is. Right or wrong, it makes Obama look like a radical by association. I do think though that there is almost a cultural difference in the black church that is being missed a little bit . . . but it doesn't even slightly excuse the statements.
Don't get the point. I don't think a church believing abortion is sin is a radical view. A person may disagree but can't see how they would claim the church is holding a radical view by claiming abortion is a sin. I'm not telling Obama how to behave. He is running for president and thus his actions or lack thereof are to be looked at. His association with this man and church I find disgusting.
One difference I see is that Hagee's comments (while deplorable) stick within the realm of religious bigotry.
Wright's comments show a world view of politics and power. In short, I see Wright's comments as more politically radical. Add to that the close and mentoring relationship and the two situations look different to me.
It raises doubt as to whether or not BO believes any of what the good pastor was spouting about the government, etc.
Well, I can't imagine he thinks white people suck when his mother is one.
