sort of like politics and common sense in europe?

Yeah right, at $1.56 to 1 euro ratio I'd say we've done pretty well. I think russian rubles are soon more expensive than a dollar..

I still fail to see why his pastor is a issue.. last time I heard the pastor, preacher or who ever didn't sit in the white house. George Bush goes to a church that thinks the Anti Christ is gonna blow up the world.. Yet that was never all over the news.

The way I feel about it is that usually something like this shouldn't matter, but Obama was using this guy kinda as a character reference, like having him on his website, he also has him on one of his comities.  This pastor was saying some really racist things, like the government created AIDS to kill the black man.  He also said that America got what was coming to it on 9/11 for using state sponsored terrorism against Africans.

Now another thing I wanted to say is, I don't see why now the church sees whats happening in the media by showing what this pastor has said as an attack on all black churches, all the media is doing is showing what this guy has said, there not making things up about him, or putting words in his mouth that he never said, just showing what he himself has said.  Yesterday morning the sermon at that church was titled "Black churches of America won't shut up", how is the media showing what this pastor has said in the past an attack on all black churches of America?  I think anyone in America after hearing some of the things this guy has said would say the statements were racist.

Personally I think this country would be better off, if religion stayed out of politics and the politicians kept their religious beliefs private and out of the govt office just like the constitution says.

How is Mr. Hagee doing with McCain's campaign?  It took McCain a week or so to reject Mr. Hagee's comments.  I guess he was against catholics before he was for them.   :D

I bet once Hillary has won the nomination (and only after she wins the nomination) she will refer to this as "swiftboating". Any takers?

If swiftboating is pointing out facts to discredit your opponent I agree. Hillary is unlikely to decry it so until she has gleaned every last drop of profit from it though.

Swiftboating is the act of cherry picking "facts" in the form of half truths and spin in order to discredit your opponent.  Implying that Hillary has Sean Hannity on her payroll is just laughable.

Sean is a latecomer to this story which was broken too soon imo. He could hardly ignore it once other outlets were covering it. I'm betting Hillary had much to do with this "story" getting mainstream attention.

I was wondering why this story didn't come out sooner, Obama's been in the race for awhile now and he's been associated with this pastor for even longer.  I'm sure it was someone with the Republican party that alerted the media to this, it might have been Hilliary also.  Each person running for president has a group of people who's job is to find things to discredit the other nominees, and alert the media to them.

Naw, Hannity is leading the charge on this one. How do I know? Because the only talk radio station worth listening to in this area is KBOI and Hannity is the afternoon drive guy. I listen to that idiot every stinking day and it does wonders for me. I usually feel much warmer on a cold day after a few blood boiling remarks from Sean.

Anyway, I checked the internets and the 1st mention of the pastor issue was during the last debate. It was much more about Farakhan, but Obama's pastor was mentioned in passing. That was on 2/27. Hannity has been harping on this since 3/1. He's not late.
