From John Derbyshire at The Corner:
I repeat: Obama’s toast. He may yet get the Democratic nomination, but tens of millions of Americans who are neither (a) black nor (b) guilty white liberals are simply appalled that Obama would revere a guy like Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, whatever the particularities of which services he did and didn’t attend. It defies belief that Obama knew this man for all that time, intimately enough to have him supervise at the Obama wedding and the children’s baptisms, yet did not know that Wright is a white-hating, America-hating crank. Who on earth believes this?
I don’t believe Obama’s lies. Any of them. He’s knows full well what and who Rev. Wright is — and that it’s something that an overwhelming (to the tune of 92%) of American’s do not support.
But Obama has supported him and his message for near 20 years.
And all Obama is going to do is dig himself a bigger hole the more he lies about it. Like his planned “major speech on race” that he’s planning to try to whitewash this huge problem.
Barack is toast.

Pam at Atlas Shrugs doesn’t mince words about what she thinks about Obama and his lies:
What kind of man is this? What lurks in the heart of a man who attends such a church, lies about it, then lies about hearing the sermons. He is going to make a major “race” speech tomorrow. He is going to preach to us? He is the problem. This racist bile and that of his wife, feeds, creates a racial divide.
A dishonest demagogue cannot sit in the oval office.
Spot on, Pam.

From Huffington Post:
even if a current presidential candidate called either falwell, robertson, grahm, or schaeffer their spiritual advisor for the past 20 years, one would still struggle to draw comparisons between the ridiculousness in rhetoric… but they haven’t so this is a moot point.
If only they were spiritual advisors. Hagee has met with Bush in the Oval Office on several occasions to advise him on Middle East policy. Hagee, who believes America will usher in the second coming. The double standard here is glaring.
Pat, your blathering and attempts at moral equivalence are pathetic.
B-HO is the person that is the focus here, the one trying to fool enough people so he can gain higher office. If he can’t deal with this without lying, which he had every opportunity to do for the past twenty years, then he doesn’t deserve the office he is seeking. The office many of us were well aware he wasn’t suited or qualified for, months ago.
If his judgement is so bad, that he would maintain a long and profitable relationship with Rezko, and this hateful Preacher, then why should anyone expect his judgement will improve as President?
He’s already lost numbers to Hillary, since this came to the Lame Stream Medias attention. His attempts at explaining this away have been halting and inadequate, and have served only to expose that he doesn’t speak so well off the cuff, but only when he is rehearsed and has a teleprompter in front of him. I am looking forward to his speech tomorrow, I don’t think he can hit one out of the park with critical eyes watching. Milk Toast might be a more apt description of him now.
I really dislike taking up for a liberal, but being a church going person for as many years as I have been going, a few things come to mind. First, when I came to the Lord, the circumstances were, shall we say, less than ideal. After all, I was a sinner! A run of the mill convert will not know much about, nor will he be picky about, who brings him into a relationship with God. Secondly, after conversion, the convert will hang around for a while, loyal because of his appreciation of what he has just avoided. Thirdly, the convert’s ignorance will contribute in staying a part of a congregation like pastor Wright. Fourthly, after the convert does wise up, and start to see the warts of his spiritual leader, he realizes that none of us are perfect, and rarely does any one agree 100% of the time with any other person in his congregation. People need to lighten up.
Oh, get real. This isn’t about religion. It’s about a minister and congregation where racist and anti-American speech is the norm. What kind of minister spins around and flaps his arms with glee about Americans dying on 9/11, with the congregation hooting and hollering with him ? Obama isn’t a recent convert and has been a member for 20 years. If Obama lacked the common sense and/or cojones to walk away from this filth, then he is unfit for office. Now, Obama’s chickens have come home to roost.
“What kind of minister spins around and flaps his arms with glee about Americans dying on 9/11, with the congregation hooting and hollering with him ?”
Hmmm..
“Pat, your blathering and attempts at moral equivalence are pathetic.”
I see you’ve been practicing your Limbaugh impersonation. The term “moral equivalence” occurs no less than 40 times in his first book, which was little more than a re-hashing of WF Buckley essays with a few extra ad-hominems thrown in for cultural relevancy. You dittoheads are so predictably pre-programmed, even an infant could find your easter eggs.
Pat, for once you offer some useful info, I’ve never read any of Rush’s books.
However, based on your continuing attempts to deflect B-HO’s boo-boo, as well as your other silly comments, I doubt you could find the Easter eggs you hid.
Hey, jackass! Falwell and Robertson were roundly criticized for their comments. They withdrew them and apologized. Something I have yet to hear Wright do.
Well, the mustard and relish antecdotal story caused my remote to jump into my hand.
He not only didn’t hit it out of the park, he was called out on strikes without taking the bat off of his shoulder.
What a dingus.
i’m not sure if you are really bad at spin or you’re just stupid. so you’re now claiming mccain is to parsley what obama is to wright? desperate huh? while i doubt it, you could be at this a while, but i’ll go on record now and tell you, it’s a lost cause.
Matthew 12:34 of the Amplified Bible may shed some light
on Rev Wright and Sen Obama, “…out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks”.
[Editor --- I'm sorry. But even though I went to a private Southern Baptist university, I have no idea what the Amplified Bible is.]
Notice the selective quotes in patricia’s comments? They quoted material never quites supports his assertion or should I say the assertion of who ever wrote the crap that patty is copying and pasting without attribution.
Irreverend Wright, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama all have something in common.
They dislike Whitey.
Apparent in their statements to date.
i guess you were wrong . . .
Umm… oops?
BTW, I’d love some jelly with that toast if you wouldn’t mind…
That’s President Obama, to you.
No, it’s the soon to be the only one term in office President Obama.
