    @david-smith

    I'm just referring to Jeremiah Wright. He tells his church the Palestinian people are the most suffering people in the world, he gives awards away to Farrakhah, he refers to the Jewish doctors conspiracy by talking about black babies being infected with aids. That is pandering to black folks on the poor south side who have an envy toward Jews. There is a similar thing in Detroit with the Arabs owning businesses - lots of black anti-Arab sentiment there. If Jeremiah ever moves to Detroit, he can turn around and preach against the Palestinians. :)

    With Barack, I'm just saying he spent 20 years in that church and probably has a better knowledge of the Palestinian perspective than any other politiician. That will serve him well if he ever gets to try to make peace between Israel and Palestinian. Much better than Palin's all-Israel, all-the-way mentality, whihc is just going to get you more conflict.
