But I bet if I had the time and read the sermons of some large churches, maybe not in the NE, where instead of race, it was consistently Anti gay, or Anti Muslim, etc.. and I am not referring to the Westboro whack jobs. You might not view Anti-Gay comments as you do Rev Wright's statements, but some do.
I was simply trying to provide context on one of the posts you mentioned. I don't know the context of the racial comments Wright made, and likely don't agree with them. You also are guilty of providing these without context though. Doesn't mean it changes what he said, I'm just saying.
It doesn't make me rethink my vote from Obama/Biden to McCain/Palin
the problem with the internet and politics, is we all come across as very angry. I'm sure you're a very nice guy, and we have fundamental disagreements. I mean hell, I tolerate RIJimmy enough to teach him my decades of bottom fishing experience. I appreciate having these discussions and your thought out responses. You are obviously a passionate guy.

Maybe I'm not smart enough to grasp this "context" thing. Rev Wright said that our federal government invented the AIDS virus to wage biological warfare against blacks. Put that in any context you want, it's inconceivable to me that we'd elect as President a man who would let such a pastor baptize his kids, and perform his marriage.
At the very least, how can you deny that there are valid reasons to wonder what Obama really thinks about this country?
