  • The Wright bullshit

    Idiots care about Wright. Wright is not Obama. Obama is not Wright.

    What is REALLY concerning is how enthusiastically Clinton and her brain-dead syncophantic cult-of-personality followers have adopted Republican talking points to attack Obama. This is Rovian attack crap at its worst.

  • @Mickey Kovars

    You seem very concerned with Wright's philosophy. Exactly what is Wright's philosophy? I am certain that you have NO idea, since the rest of your little missive indicates that you are simply reacting ignorantly to the media coverage.

  • I thought liberals hated preachers.

    Now, a preacher is suddenly deified because he's associated with Obama. What gives?

    Let's see if you can follow this: the notion of self governance, in the scheme of global political thought, is an emphatically liberal idea. America was founded, influenced in part by the desire for religious freedom, on that principle. So, those Christians, and their priests or ministers, were liberals. If not, they were Tories. Civil rights were driven by ministers. Liberals. Women's suffrage, and women's rights, were championed by liberal ministers. So, your premise is entirely, one hundred percent, completely, dead ass wrong. Let us pray.
