Obama told us tonight....

[Saturday]

that he sat in the pews for 17 years and NEVER heard Rev. Wright speak like the tapes show him speaking. That every time Obama attended church the Rev. spoke of Christ, Christianity etc. Sorry Obama supporters, I don't believe him. That is such an outrageous lie I just have no words.

[babylonsister]

1. I don't give a flying fuck what his preacher preached. I LOVE what Obama's

message is. Get that straight.

[Saturday]

15. His message is tainted now. Anyone can see that. He lied tonight.

[babylonsister]

25. Ha. You hope. But why do you hate Obama? Do you love Clinton,

or do you have other reasons? If you love Hillary, have you posted one thread to support her?

[Saturday]

60. I often try to bring reality into Obama threads. He is not the great one

Obama supporters think he is. He fell tonight big time and as someone who wants a Democratic President I felt it too.

I didn't know it was my job to post threads to support Hillary. Maybe I should just check with you to make sure what I say is acceptable with you. :eyes:

[AZBlue]

33. OK, let's say he did lie (I'm not sure he did, but let's say so for argument's sake)

How does this lie compare to the plethora of Clinton's lies about far more deadly, serious or relevant issues?

[uponit7771]

40. Rev. Wright is scarier than an illegal war, 54$ a gallon gas & what ever Clinton lied about /sarcasm

[Saturday]

57. Obama is supposed to be the candidate above it all.

He's supposed to give hope. If he lies he is no better than any other politician. That's why the lie is so devastating for him.

[Hepburn]

47. Oh, please....

...he lied cuz you say so. Who in the hell are you that you have the right to cast judgment on someone.

:eyes:

[CatnHat]

68. and how many

times have you cast judgment on Bill or Hillary Clinton. Get real. Obama lied about the heart and soul of his whole campaign, and that somehow doesn't bother you????

[JackORoses]

59. Prove it.

[BringBigDogBack]

69. keep dreaming.

[mattclearing]

71. Prove it.

You are throwing out ridiculous accusations. How the hell do you know what he heard or didn't hear?

[ronnykmarshall]

22. oh never mind...

fuck it

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

44. Me too.

[proud2BlibKansan]

55. You tell em Girl

:hi:

[CatnHat]

70. You love the

message, but how about the messenger? Don't you feel a like you been duped at all? Seriously. Obama only denounces his friends and mentor of 20 years only when they became a political liability. If Obama wants to be an inspirational speaker, he shouldn't credit some lunatic preacher as being his inspirational leader and teacher. Don't you see anything wrong with this picture????

[movonne]

2. You wouldn't believe him if he told you the sky is blue sometimes...

[polichick]

3. Looks like you have words to me...

yadayadayadayada ~ same ol' same ol'

[JeffR]

4. Seems you had just enough words left to post this

sadly.

[Political Heretic]

5. I couldn't care less.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. Obama could tell you that your nose is on your face and you'd call him a liar

I'm sick of the bullshit from people like you.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

7. talk about stretching credulity...I don't think anyone bought it

[uponit7771]

11. So you know EVERY sermon your spiritual leaders say and remember them?!?!

[oasis]

19. "God damn America" and "God bless Farrakhan" is the kinda stuff one remembers.

:think:

[tabatha]

8. How do you know that Wright was pretty consistent over the years,

but occasionally got mad?

One apparently was after 911 - everybody had strong emotions.

The other was about Hillary and Barack - that situation does not happen very often, in fact it is the first time there is a credible black candidate.

[lligrd]

9. How Many Of The 17 Years Worth Of Tapes

did he actually speak "like that"? You didn't believe him even before he spoke.

[uponit7771]

13. They don't know, they need an excuse not to vote for him

[emilyg]

61. I don't need an excuse. I support Hillary.

[uponit7771]

10. WOW!! Do you remember everything Bush says!?!?! What about every leader you've known?!?!

[JimGinPA]

12. You're Entitled To Your Opinion - I'm Entitled To Discount It, Based On Your Past Statements

:shrug:

[Tropics_Dude83]

16. I do believe him strongly n/t

[Teaser]

14. Got it: Horrible liar. Murders babies. Rapes baseball players

Obama, is there any evil you won't sink to?

[uponit7771]

27. LOFL@RapingBaseball players...

[AtomicKitten]

17. The montage came from two sermons. Good luck with those odds of proving him wrong.

[GarbagemanLB]

20. EXACTLY. How can you judge someone's 30 years of work on 2 fucking sermons?

[boston bean]

21. fox news showed quite a few more tonite. nt

[geek tragedy]

23. Do you Hillbots watch anything but Fox News?

Fucking Repuke scumbag racists

[boston bean]

48. O was on Fox tonite. that is why I watched. nt

[OhioBlue]

51. and most of those weren't even that bad.

unless you're a regular Fox viewer and then you watch with your own eyes and then wait for Hannity or O'Reily to tell you what to think about it.

[AtomicKitten]

38. The hens are cackling and I'm smiling.

If the GOP + the Clintons + the MSM in this unholy alliance clusterfuck can't take Barack down, I say Hilly accepts her second prize canned ham and goes home.

Barack is doing everything right in dealing with this, in fact gave a wonderful interview on Anderson Cooper's show, the second half of the interview going into depth on race and religion and politics. He is a brilliant man. Barack took what some folks here hope is a death blow to his candidacy and turned it into an opportunity in that great interview.

Hell, I would not be surprised to find out he had leaked this to get it out there now with five weeks before Pennsylvania and to show the superdelegates he can handle the GOP + McCain + the Clintons + MSM with one hand tied behind his back.

He has run a spectacular campaign and watching him work really makes me tingly. I had no idea he would perform this brilliantly, and the Democratic Party is so amazingly lucky to have a voice like his at this particular time in our history.

I'm starting to have a good time again. Cheers.

[cooolandrew]

65. There is a room on paltalk "republicans for Obama" it returned last night. Plus

a report that assigned pledged delegates went for Obama last night. FIRED UP READY TO GO.

[meow mix]

18. yawn..

its gettin old

[BeyondGeography]

24. Whatever...the one thing I learned tonight is they didn't go to church every Sunday

especially once they had kids, which he kind of sheepishly admitted on Fox.

Those of you who have ever had young kids know what that's all about.

[uponit7771]

30. really? I'm bout to have twins...I thought I'd go to church even more with kids...o well...my mother

...said reality will hit my wife and I when they come...we'll deal with it..

[BeyondGeography]

41. LOL...bring reinforcements, that's all I can say

[OhioBlue]

54. your life will change dramatically

for the first few months, Sundays may be the only days you get to sleep in shifts. (unless you're both in the position to take the FMLA - if you are, I strongly recommend it. Your wife is going to need a lot of help even if she doesn't want to admit it.)

My baby BF for an hour every other hour for the first 3 weeks. I was a zombie. I was also totally paranoid about having a clean house - so I was either holding the baby or if someone else was holding the baby I was frantically trying to clean, wash laundry, read all the lit from the hospital, fill out baby book, etc. and get a nap and a snack here and there.

[Arugula Latte]

62. Aaaah -- on behalf of your unborn children, please spare them from church.

I mean, really, who needs it? A bunch of endless blather over made-up stuff ... Take 'em to the woods and show 'em creeks trees on Sundays.

Not that you asked for my 2 cents worth ... :hide:

[ProSense]

26. Maybe the president of the Chicago Theological Seminary was lying too

When Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. recently retired as senior pastor at Trinity UCC, I emailed him that I considered him the best theologian, hands down, I had ever heard from the pulpit. And believe me, I’ve heard a lot of preaching in my life.

[HughMoran]

28. Why did he have to lie

:(

He's lost a great deal of his advantage over Hillary tonight :(

[uponit7771]

31. There's not a person posting that knows EVERYTHING their pastor said, if they say they do then they

...are lying.

[HughMoran]

34. But he claimed to know nothing of the inflammatory remarks on CNN just now

That's just not believable based on the firey nature of this preacher.

[uponit7771]

37. Do you go to church?!?! Honestly ! ...matter of fact, do you remember EVERYTHING you said yesterday?

[HughMoran]

46. Well, of course I don't remember everything (though a lot more than most)

But not remembering that kind of inflamed rhetoric from a man who married you and who is your friend is hard to believe.

[David__77]

52. You, who refer to "hateful Obama psychopaths," feign "concern."

He lost no such thing, and you have always been anti-Obama.

[BenDavid]

29. "he sat in the pews for 17 years and NEVER heard Rev. Wright

speak......." At this very moment there are folks(RNC) looking into all the sermons of wright and to see if obama attended any of those sermons where he spoke hate for whites, the u.s. and more. I have a strong feeling the truth will come out that obama lied and will be the undoing of his campaign.....

[uponit7771]

35. Anyone who goes to church on a regular basis can EASILY say the don't know what the speaker says...

...every Sunday because they don't GO every Sunday.

I can relate to everything Obama says, I'm a member of a VERY large church with a very famous pastor and I don't know EVERYTHING he says either.

Hmmm, I just can't relate to someone who says over a 20 yr period that a person will remember or see every speech etc that another person says or even that they say themselves

[Kittycat]

32. Thank you for your "concern". We know your a hater...

so how could we expect anything more from you?

[burythehatchet]

36. I only WISH you had no words.

[Catherine Vincent]

39. He probably didn't go to church that often.

Like myself. :)

[daleo]

50. Sensible people rarely go to church

It's too bad that sensible politicians aren't given that freedom.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

42. Obama's hopeful message is the only one that truly matters.

[metalluk]

43. Despite being a Clinton supporter,

I don't care what Rev. Wright has said in the past or continues to say.

I don't criticize Obama for not paying especially close attention to the doctrine of the church to which he belonged. Many Americans don't truly understand all of the specifics of their particular denomination.

I don't care that Obama is more religious than I am and makes use of a "spiritual advisor."

I DO care, however, if Obama, having now been informed about the tenets of that church, continues as a member. It will be a significant problem for him, because the Africa-first tenet and the "only identify with blacks" tenet directly conflict with what Americans have a right to expect from a President. Renouncing Wright's most outrageous statements was not necessary and was not enough because it was not the issue. The only important point is Obama's membership in a church with a racist doctrine. If he dissociates himself from that church, the issue loses all significance for me. If not . . .

[eallen]

45. LMAO! You believe Obama had to hear the most incendiary lines in Wright's career?

And if you don't realize the lines being quoted are the most incendiary few that can be dug up, then you're not thinking.

:hippie:

[Upton]

49. I don't get it, what's the big deal?

who cares what his pastor has to say? I realize Clinton supporters are hoping this seriously hurts his candidacy but other than that what's the point?

[1776Forever]

53. Ah Obama is a Senator that is in Washington D.C. a lot - Does he fly home each weekend?

I don't know but there are a lot of times that I am sure he missed the Sunday sermon. I take him at his word. I would take Hillary at her word too. What else can we give our candidates but some respect for their comments. Unless it is reported that he was there "every" Sunday I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt!

[uponit7771]

58. The BO haters want to believe he had a direct tie in to Wrights mic EVERY Sunday

[HuffleClaw]

56. pretty unbelievable if you ask me n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]

63. jumping jesus on a pogo stick...O LIES they eat it up new bumpersticker:

I Swallow for Obama

[ElsewheresDaughter]

64. dupe

I Swallow for Obama

[Guava Jelly]

66. give it a rest

We get it you hate Obama

[CatnHat]

67. Obama offended

many Americans tonight by half sticking up for this so-called pastor. He did not act like he was even the slightest bit pissed off at all. Obama is a fraud. He can dupe his followers, but the majority of people who watched these rantings and the half-ass apologies of Mr. Hope are outraged. Go to any forum, and read for yourselves. Obama camp is in deep shit. On CNN tonight, they said follow-up is essential; and will be investigating further. If Obama was in "church" when this guy was spewing hatred, that would the end of Obama's camp for sure.
