The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is no longer serving on the African American Religious Leadership Committee, campaign sources told CNN.
Yep, that minister is "controversial, and "fiery", whats the word I keep thinking of, you know, When DOn Imus, an enterntainer, makes an off the cuff comment it instantly gets the label - RACISM. But when a black misinster, writes a PREMEDITATED sermons, spewing hate, its "fiery" Can anyone find any media that calls this guy what he is, a 100% RACIST.

Jimmy, right on. It is funny to watch BO run from this guy like he was on fire. Supposedly, this minister and BO are extremely close for 20 years. And now that it's politically damaging, he's distancing himself from him, but, why not years ago? Maybe because the minister has been singing a song BO loves to hear? We'll see.... |

I just read Obama's speech on this and I thought he did a pretty good job. I do not know whether it will change people's minds but it will give comfort to those people who were starting to question him. I found what the Rev. was saying way over the line for a Church service and required quite a leap of logic but I have to say living overseas I hear stuff like that all the time.

The man dedicates his life to helping people and you think he's a "piece of crap" because you saw a sound bite on Hannity?
I don't agree with much of what I heard, but at least I'm able to separate the wheat from the chaff...
What's with this all or nothing rhetoric everybody seems to be driven by these days? Sure it makes for exciting radio but below the surface it doesn't make much sense to a rational person.
