People at work will not support Obama for no other reason but because of this...

Has this been debunked?

8. Heres a link to Wright talking, anti-semitic stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNEfEBYIZs

His supporters put it on you tube, the guy is a bad person.

11. What's anti-semitic about that?
Here's what he said:
"We supported Zionism shamelessly while ignoring the Palestinians and branding anybody who spoke out against it anti-Semitic"

To call that anti-Semitic is ironic to the point it makes me think you're not really a Hillary supporter.

12. He endorses Farrakhan, combine that with his words and it points to a problem.
Obama said he does not support his views on this. But Wright was the QUESTIONED guy and Wright has many issues.

13. So basically you have 2 degrees of separation here
Wright has praised Farrakhan. Obama has praised Wright. So now Obama must answer for all of Farrakhan's statements.

This is dirty politics and I'd hope that all Democrats would be above it.

2. The web site of his church says it's predominantly African American. That's...
...what the RW was spinning as "anti-white." I don't have the link. You can probably find a post about it in the DU archives.

NGU.

4. Rev Jerimiah Wright has been controversial.
He also praises Farrakhan and went to Libya with him during our tense times.

He has been called a racist, definitely appears to be anti-Semitic. From what I have read and actually heard him say on a video.

6. It is a very good thing that these
smears are vetted now. Obama must address the worst of the Swiftboating to come. This is an early taste.

Kerry ignored the lies, look where it got him. Obama's people need to address this swiftly.
