He sat through this hate monger's sermons for 20 years.
That's just it though. Are Wright's hatemongering sermons the norm or the exception? I saw a clip of Wright on the
The Beltway Boys and thought he was more a stand-up comedian than a pastor
I'll tell you what
when Republicans sever all ties with the hatemongering bigots of the Christian Right come back and cast aspirations on Obama's membership of the Trinity United Church of Christ. Until they do, don't expect me to give you guys a fair hearing. I'm sick of the double-standards
Obama
has denounced Wright's 'God Dam America' sermon yet I dare say it was Wright's work with the poor in Chicago that had an impressionable impact on the then young Obama and, thus, played its part in his joining the Trinity United Church of Christ
Nevertheless, there is clear blue water between the politics of Wright, which focus on racial grievances, and those of Obama, which transcend race. Whether white working class Democrats, who are yet to warm to Obama (and he, economically, is on their side) see it that way is another matter. They prefer Clinton, who is much closer to Obama, on the issues, than she is McCain
The bottom line is that political distinction can certainly be made between Obama and Wright that much is obvious; yet something of a spiritual connection, around the social gospel, is evident
Hardly controversial. Not something that would scare the sh**t out of peeps
