Wright's comments...

The interesting story about all of this is how much Wright benefits from all of this. He is just like Jackson and Sharpton, pure capitalist.

The main reason they are in all of this.... $$$$$$$$$$

there is no doubt that the Sharpton, Jackson, Wright, Farrakhan brand of preaching is far more lucrative than your vanilla "you're going to hell if you surf porn" style of ministry.

Yeah, I don't think Wright (or any other minority promoter) has a monopoly on exploitation for personal gain.

but only Wright is retiring to a 10,000 square ft., 1.6 million dollar mansion in one of Chicago's richest and whitest neighborhoods. He also has a 10 million dollar line of credit provided by TUCoC.

I guess he feels that he has done enough for the black community so now it's ok to live it up with whitey!:)

Are you saying he has no company? Are you saying Hagee, Falwell, Bakker, Swaggert, Robertson and a zillion others are any better?

Why anyone with a brain would care what some pastor says is beyond me. Lots of right wing BS trying to bring down a guy because of his pastor. To start a thread on it shows unbelievable stupidity.

ANYONE who voted for W TWICE should focus a little more on important issues and less on someone's dipshiit pastor.

I wonder how many of you southern baptists could stand up to such scrutiny if YOUR pastor's words had been examined so closely. Nevermind, you couldn't.

are the ones you mentioned promoting a white values system? do they claim that the US is a slave ship and that the God of the white slave masters is different than the God of the slaves?

If my pastor had said anything close to what was spewed from Wright I would get up mid sermon and leave never to return. And by the way I, nor 99.999999999999% of the population is or ever will run for president. Just because you have an opinion on Obama's spiritual advisor's comments does not make you right wing or Republican my friend.

Agreed. But to think Obama's beliefs and values are aligned with Wright's is ludicrous

So you are confident in a man to be POTUS that chooses a "dipshiit pastor"? Hmmm.

Are you kidding? Isn't that the reason you attend a specific church because your beliefs and values align with the pastor?

Why would Wright marry him baptize his children and be his spiritual adviser if they shared different values and beliefs?

Calling Wright a spiritual adviser when he has made false, misleading and outright false statements about this country while he is running for president is absolutely a valid concern for any American.

Stop it JZ. If you try and make sense of the situation it makes Obama look either stupid or enabling. That is not acceptable.

why? do you go to a church with a pastor whose beliefs and values are vastly different from yours? does anyone?

I choose a church based on the church and my particular denomination. Pastors come and go within a given church. And yes, I do go to a church where I don't agree with many of my pastor's political views. I am pro-choice and I am certain my pastor is anti-abortion. Should I leave the church???? Of course not.

I feel we shouldn't mix religion and politics. Many or most of you obviously do and most of you are conservative republicans which is reflective of your beliefs on Obama and his pastor. Your right and choice. Mine just happens to be different

It's impossible to separate religion from politics. If you are religious it is a part of who you are and shapes at least some of your beliefs. This country was founded in part on religious principals and referenced God often. To think you can keep the two separate is an exercise in futility.

Clearly Rev. Wright didn't get the message about mixing religion and politics.

As to this being someone's right and choice and yours being different - I agree. Not sure how it then qualifies as stupid and/or rightwing BS?

a) trinity church and chicago politics are intimately intertwined. i very much doubt your church has that political of a slant.

b) i would hope if your pastor starting spewing racist rhetoric that you would find that slightly more objectionable than him being pro life.

It's kinda odd, but I believe Hillary's camp has been the driving force behind much of this hoopla.

Given the politics I've seen from you, I can understand that you believe Hillary's camp to be somewhat right of Goldwater, but in the real world she's much closer to Mao.
