Obama's Pastor "disappeared" from website.
« on: March 16, 2008, 01:01:06 PM »
I'm trying to be nice this election season.  I don't really like ANY of the top candidates but either way I can't stand one that back peddles and can't seem to stand by convictions.

RE:  Obama's radical pastor friend I really think it would have blown over and the media/sheeple would have forgotten about it in a week.  Well he's now distancing himself from Pastor Wright and has changed his website to reflect that.

I'm personally glad it blew up, and I'm glad he responded how he did.  He needs to grow the hell up and really really learn that speech that incites and perpetuates racial hatred is simply not acceptable.  The fact that he bought into it at least enough to keep going back to that church and keep listening to that pastor is disturbing, but he is a leader of this country and I won't hold a learning experience against him.

Hopefully he and his followers who have responded to and encouraged that sort of racially inflammatory sermon will grow up and quit perpetuating racially divisive philosophy and speech.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

Yeah I think this one has really hurt his chances, up until this I was for him winning, but now after reading about this pastor I hope that someone else wins.

If he shows' that he's ready to clean house, to change and learn, he might have dramatically boosted them. As a matter of fact, I talked to a guy on the street who told me that he was switching from McCain(!) to Obama, because he seems' more upright and sincere. I don't know anything about the dude's demographic, but he was certainly younger than I am.(34)

His church is "fighting back".

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/03/16/obama-pastors-church-fires-back/

So, exposing his sermons to national scrutiny is an "attack". There's racism in this story alright but it's this church that's soaked in it.

I understand what you are saying here but frankly IMO it's past time for him to have done something about it. He says he wants "change", yet the church he goes to is a cess pit of racism cloaked in the robes of religion. I think it's just as wrong and backwards for him to have gone to a second service there as it is for a KKK member to say they  are following the path of inclusion. If he can't recognise the divisiveness of racism simply because it's from a black perspective, he is no different than the KKK claiming they're following the christian ideal.

If he can't recognise the stench and do something about it until it's exposed and he's confronted with it in the public media he's not a leader. He's just reacting like anyone caught doing something they know was wrong. IMO he's just a black version of kerry. Saying and doing anything to get elected and contradicting himself just to say what he thinks the local audience wants to hear at that particular time.

How is it that 8 years into the 21st Century that people are supposed to be OK with a President that attends a segregated ANYTHING? 


If Bush attended a church that only allowed white people as members, would he not be called a racist??

Clearly there is a double-standard at work here.

Sorry it took so long to get back to this, Tango. It was actually before, we were standing in line at a Fastrip store. It had something on about the different delegates' on a widescreen that they had up behind the counter. I'm sure he wasn't referring to This latest action in general.
