One is unforgivable, the other barely news
Advertisements [?]
From all of the hundreds of sermons given and videotaped by Pastor Wright, ABC news and others have found two with objectionable content. I find factual and stylistic problems with the sermon from five years ago and the recent one is problematic because of where it was made (i.e. pulpit).

However, it is ridiculous to tar Obama with a guilt by association to the extent that his campaign is now somehow doomed or that he is somehow unelectable in the G.E.

McCain has activly sought the endorsements of two pastors. One of which refers to the Catholic Church as "The Whore of Babylon" and Catholics as satanic. The other wants the U.S. to perpetrate genocide against 1.2 billion Muslims in the worls. For a sense of scale, Hitler's Holocaust would be less than 1% of what McCain's preacher is advocating.

Clinton supporters find no problem with the McCain preachers that he activly sought out. However, they consider two sermons by Obama's minister are lethal to his campaign.
