Obama to be on Olbermann now

[slinkerwink]

Wright no longer on Obama's advisory committee! That's the breaking news on Olbermann's show. Obama to be on soon.

[jenmito]

1. I'm watching!

Thanks. :hi:

[ellisonz]

2. REV. WRIGHT IS RIGHT!

[jenmito]

3. I agree. But Obama HAS to distance himself from those remarks...

AND Rev. Wright...especially with all the perceived anti-patriotic gossip out there about him.

[ellisonz]

10. I'm well aware of that.

But as someone who has studied the history of America, loves the history of America, and knows that so often America has not stood for America. I tend to find it infuriating when historical truths are slandered as the hysterical ravings of a radical.

The collective reaction of the American media today: "OMG we killed the Indians, enslaved Africans, and are the only country on the face of the earth to use nuclear weapons against human beings. That's not acceptable speech."

[Whisp]

14. I think he already has.

he'll also be on Fox and CNN tonight.

He'll handle himself well, he always does. that's one of the things admirable about him - it's hard to rattle him and that drives Hillary crazy ballistic.
That's the advantage he has, he's his own self and doesn't have to 'factcheck' his previous lies like she does.

I see that Lou Dobbs is oh soooooo devastated by the pastors remarks of God Damn America. Quite the method act he has going.
the same Lou that keeps telling us what morons there are in the WH and congress. Isn't That an indirect damnation of the nation as well?

Lou is an egg sucking weasel.

[Whisp]

4. god damn it, he is!

I would be willing to join a church with a speaker with such passion as his. My early years of 'church' was RC, where we sat like dumb stumps with the finger of Gods wrath pointed at us telling everyone what awful human beings we were.

btw. can u give a bit of a play by play. I don't get MSNBC on the dial.

[ellisonz]

11. I'm sure it will be identical to the campaign statement on the matter.

[slinkerwink]

5. I don't agree with Wright at all. I find these comments to be offensive.

I'm glad he's off the advisory committee and and that Obama's on the media tour tonight to address this.

[Whisp]

22. I find the fact that the American military machine has murdered

so many thousands and thousands all in the name of profit while selling it as something like freedom fries. throw in the the other wars of unbalanced preditory trade deals, terminator gene seeds, etc etc etc etc and you have one hell of a something to Damn and be ashamed of.

[Kber]

30. I didn't know he was on the advisory committee

[ellisonz]

33. This is politics. I'm well aware of that. But...

What do you disagree with Wright saying? That Hillary has never felt racial persecution? That America has created the monsters abroad that it now slays?

[slinkerwink]

37. the "goddamn America" part and the 9/11 part as well

Many voters still have pride in America, myself included, and I have belief in this country to reach its great potential, which is why I support Obama. It was very jarring to hear Obama's former pastor using God to damn the country that I still have hope in, and that's why I found it very offensive.

[ellisonz]

40. Redemption?

Is always a possibility. You have to realize that was very likely a small part of a long sermon.

[Skip Intro]

dupe

[Skip Intro]

9. Yes, white America deserved 9*11, Sure. GoBama!

:eyes:

[NDambi]

16. Plenty of black americans died too...asian, etc he didn't say white america deserved 9/11 nice spin

[ellisonz]

18. Cheap oil isn't free.

:puke:

[Whisp]

29. the bully on the block sometimes gets his head smacked.

too bad the little people in this case get the brunt of the hurt while the perps that set up this retal in their fowl foreign policy forever escape unscathed

[HughMoran]

12. I like the stuff he was saying

Where do I sign up?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

35. No He Isn't. Not Even Close.

[jgraz]

6. Olbamermann!!!!

[HughMoran]

7. He's on now

Wright goes bye-bye.

[Drunken Irishman]

8. The one guy on MSNBC hit it right on the head.

This has little legs unless they somwhow find a quote where Obama is saying what Rev. Wright has said.

[uponit7771]

13. Good, he wasn't there...good, now people can't say he should have walked out of the sermons....

[RememberWellstone]

15. Stuttering

Badly. He is lying about not ever hearing a sermon like this in 20 years? No way.

[uponit7771]

21. So all Wrights sermons were fiery?!?!?! You're streching...

[RememberWellstone]

38. Never in 20 years?

No way. I'm sorry, I was'nt born yesterday, he is going to have to do more than just denounce especially if the rethugs find out he was present in ANY of those type of meetings. I don't this to bring Obama down, I believe he does'nt have the same idealogy, but you have to wonder why did'nt he leave or renounce his membership. Only a question, not trying to knock Obama off.

[rockymountaindem]

17. He ain't helping himself

The pastor is like an uncle to him? Not good.

[uponit7771]

20. He said he wasn't at the sermons, that distances himself enough. Logically unless someone can show

...him being at the sermons or that Obama said these things himself this doesn't have much legs.

[rockymountaindem]

24. If that's what the preacher really believes, and Obama went to his church frequently

it's not possible that Obama at least *knew* that this is what Rev. Wright believes, and, despite that, continued to associate with him and give him an advisory position on his campaign. That's a serious problem for me.

[mtnsnake]

34. I guess the only times the preacher acted up were when Obama was not present (snicker)

[rockymountaindem]

36. I can't believe I'm agreeing with you about anything, but yeah

That's what we'd have to believe. Besides, even if Obama wasn't there personally, he would still have known about these statements through the grapevine and at the very least, would have known that Wright had a reputation for remarks like this.

[uponit7771]

19. I don't see how McCaint can use what Wright said or a 527 seeing how McHagee has said stupid stuff

[mtnsnake]

23. homina homina homina....what a bullshitter

Anyone buying it?

[americanstranger]

26. I'm not even watching.

But I'm shocked - shocked - that you're not buying it. ;)

- as

[Cali_Democrat]

28. I'm at work, what happened?

[mtnsnake]

31. Obama stuttered his way through a couple of Olbermanns questions including Rezko

Obama is an angel

[GoldieAZ49]

25. All the people of faith have been removed from his website

Not just Wright. I bet they all received calls about their endorsing Obama and appearing on the same page as Wright.

[housewolf]

27. Ackkkkk!!! Did I miss him already????

[DemBones DemBones]

32. OMG, KO will be kissing BO on MSNBC!

:rofl:

[rug]

39. If Barack has dignity he will reject it. KO has aleady lost his.
