If you don't think this will affect the campaign you are deluding yourself.

The media should be on this issue. Are BO supporters against the First Amendment? All I read here is how the press should be censored only to ask questions that are acceptable to "the campaign". Do not bother the great one with these trivialities. The problem is that BO supporters hear an inspirational speech and ask no questions about how change is to be achieved or what exactly will be changed. The more sceptical of us have heard this before and try and find the answers. Unfortunately, due to BO's razor thin resume, we cannot look at his past record with any grate hope of predicting the future. So what we have is his past life, his associations both business and personal. From what we have seen so far he has rejected his mothers race and looked to find his identity in "Dreams of his Father", and Reverend Wright's teachings. This does not impugn his integrity but it does show a bias towards certain beliefs. His pastor's and his wife's comments show a disparagement towards this country that many find offensive. This may be acceptable in circles in which he currently moves, as reinforced by the Ayres comments, but I think it would not be part of mainstream America. Now add to this that his pastor of twenty years says "He says what he has to say". I read this as he is telling you what you want hear but is is not what he believes.

I know this will not change any minds but this is why this issue should be followed up. Please stop trying to gag the press just because you do not like the questions.

God Bless Reverend Wright. He tells it like it is. Where are all the Ron Paul supporters who applauded his use of the term "blowback"? Paul spoke the truth too. When will America wake up?

We are missing the point. Wright should NOT change our focus. Obama has said he is opposed to some statements, which he did not say himself. Despite Negative Attacks on Obama see...

''Chicago, IL – Today, United States Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) endorsed Barack Obama for president, citing his ability to rise above the issues that divide us, end the war in Iraq, bring universal health care, and make America energy independent''

“We both know that if Sen. Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected,” Wright said. “Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites based on polls…."

What a great stereotype. At least we now know where the "Hillary will say and do anything to get elected" line came from...... Now it seems we may add Barach!

It is over for Obama. This is his "scream" moment. Whether or not Obama secretly harbors these views or not, his judgement--and campaign message of post-racial unity--has been seriously undermined. Who chooses such a person to officiate at one's wedding and baptize one's church, not to mention attend his sermons for 20 years? Barack must share Wright's views. He's a typical politician, as Wright himself has said. Who is this Obama guy? What does he believe in? After 15 months,we really don't know. Or do we?

WOW!
I'm Catholic, and I'm surprised and upset that Hagee doesn't get the same treatment for the statements that he made regarding my my faith. I'm upset, and mad that he gets a pass regarding this.
Is it because Rev. Wright is black? Is my religon not important enough for Hagee to apologize?
I'm so amazed at how the media is so one-sided.

I hope Andrea Mitchell is proud of herself...45 mins on Rev. Wright. Some of the people being interviewed suggested that the media needs to let go. How deep into the gutter does MSNBC want to go??? Did Bill or MSNBC play the race card and continues to play the race card?

Joe Watkins needs to practice what he preaches. I guess its alright to preach on Sunday then attach on Monday, but what would expect from a Republican?

Obama needs to go — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:32:08 GMT

I would like to know how the Kennedy's who are supporting Obama feel when they hear Rev. Wright making fun of both JFK and Ted Kennedy.

I can't imagine that the Kennedy's aren't pissed of hearing their family members and more importantly a US President and a US Senator made fun of by Rev. Wright.

I know, I know, Rev. Wright is Rev. Wright, he's not Barack Obama.

Like Rev Wright said "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability." He also said the he [Wright] is a pastor and Obama is a politician.

That's funny because I thought that Obama was selling himself as anything but, a politician.

I cannot believe that Obama hasn't heard any of Wright's rants before! Given the fact that Rev. Wright couldn't contain himself this weekend or today seems to indicate that his "rants" are the norm. If that is true then there is NO WAY that Obama hasn't heard crazy things coming from his pastors pulpit!

Stop Looking The Other Way — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:33:14 GMT

"I am not running for office."

I guess what I learned these last few days is Rev. Wright is keeping to the ideals set out by Jesus. Not to the ideals set out by people in this country who continue to look the other way.

Good for him. He's just doing what he believes is right in his heart. If you don't want to hear the truth, don't listen.

"Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the course'

Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned 'Titanic".

By the way, when is Hillary Clinton going to apologize for the antics of her husband when he was in the White House?

i thought that obama was allegedly going to be a uniter not a divider(wow that sounds so familiar)it is so hard to buy this view that hes a good christian when his pastor doesnt seem like the kind that teaches love,personal accountability and seems so racist or seperatist .like my christian pastor would never judge anyone or our country with such didain.by the way to be a real christian means to be christlike thats what christian means.like even 3rd and 4th grade christian kids in our childrens ministry do when needing to make a decision ask"what would jesus do?",not whats being done here.
