Obama was one of the first to call for Imus' firing from MSNBC. ...April 11, 2007 -- "I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."
- WE SHOULD HOLD OBAMA TO THE SAME STANDARD HE HELD FOR IMUS AND FOR HIS OWN STAFF.
- HE LIED ABOUT WHAT HE'D HEARD OVER THE YEARS IN TRINITY CHURCH.
- HIS FAILURE TO CONDEMN IT - ALL THOSE YEARS - PROVES HE EMBRACED IT.
- FOR THIS RACISM AND HYPOCRISY, OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN FROM THE SENATE.
- AT ONCE.

I know I've ragged on you for your generous use of ALL CAPS, but I couldn't help but notice lately that you also seem to have a love affair with bullet points.
I usually don't comment on things this petty, but when someone feels that the simple statement "AT ONCE" is deemed worthy of a bullet point, I can't help but LOL
Anyway, I don't think that Obama lied. He should have been more clear initially, but he was fairly careful to parse his words in that he hadn't heard the speeches that were kicked off the controversy and playing in the media. I had expressed my disappointment in this response on my blog, and I thought that he could have handled it a lot better. But he used his speech yesterday to clarify that he wasn't going to deny that he heard things that were controversial. More importantly, he challenged us to move beyond distractions like attacks on each others churches and pastors and try to focus on the real issues and problems that we as Americans face. And I'm not sure if you noticed that he addressed the Iraq issue today.
Reliapundit,
Excellent find!
I'll be posting this at my site--with proper attribution, of course.
This should be on FOX...I wonder who will confront him with this piece. Somebody definitely should!
Rudy Giuliani's priest has been accused in grand jury proceedings of molesting several children and covering up the molestation of others. Giuliani would not disavow him on the campaign trail and still works with him.
Mitt Romney was part of a church that did not view black Americans as equals and actively discriminated against them.
Jerry Falwell said America had 9/11 coming because we tolerated gays, feminists and liberals.
preachers on both sides spout hate-
Christianity like Islam and Judaism worships the hate spewing god of abraham. Lets put the blame where it belongs
