  Talks about the former pastor of the Obamas as unpatriotic because of his harsh comments about America. But what he left out was this was the same man who did two tours in Vietnam while Bush,Cheney and Limbaugh dodged their duty.

  The church she attended provides housing for hundreds of homeless, provides scholorships for hundreds of students to go to college, feeds thousands in its food program;helps with the elderly and has a re-entry program for man and women getting out of prison. Many in his congregation have gone to Iraq to fight. Wow how unpatriotic can you get.

  Not one of the members of Obama's former church has ever bombed a government building destroying millions in property and killing 168 men, women and children like right wingers. Not one of his members has ever bombed a clinic killing women because they did not agree with their stance on abortion rights like right wingers. Not one of his members has ever threatned to kill McCain like right wingers did against Sen. Obama.

  It is amazing how whites view blacks as unpatriotic just because they don't agree with certain views but never use those same adjectives when it comes to destructive actions by whites. Look at the Obama's actions. They have followed the rules. They are law abiding. They pay their taxes. They give to charity and have helped pass laws to help our men and women who are coming back home from war.

  Again Rev. Wright did two tours of duty in Vietnam I think he as a right to voice his opinion.
