Is every child that attends Pastor Wright's church now unfit to be president?

[IranianDemocrat]

-Bob Beckel asks Sean Hannity.

1. YES

because FOX News won't allow it and apparently many on DU who suddenly can't handle a black guy railing about America's mistakes in wars, and the reality of being a black man in America.

2. And Hannity wouldn't outright answer that question, and by his

attempting to avoid it, made it very clear that none of those black people from that church for the past 30 years better ever try to hold public office ever again.

3. What a stupid question......

only if they have Wright as their personal mentor for 20 years.

4. it's a good point though.

My priest says pretty dumb things I don't agree with, especially on abortion and homosexuality, does that make me or the rest of the congregation unfit to run for President?

6. No, it's a stupid point....

this isn't about a preacher far removed saying a few dumb things. This is about someone who was a mentor and friend to obama for 20 years, someone who was his "spiritual compass", someone Obama went to for advise in making political decisions, someone who preaches hate. Not in any way shape or form is it acceptable for a pastor to say God damn America. First of all, it's completely un-Christian to ask God to damn anyone and it is un-American.

I walked out of a church for a racist remark made by a deacon. I was 17 years old and walked out by myself. It was a small, southern town of 5,000 people. I took a lot of heat for it (especially since the deacon worked with my dad for years) but I did it. It's called having the courage of your convictions. If Obama is willing to sit and listen to this racist stuff for 20 years then he has NO business saying he is the candidate of UNITY.

To say that it is hypocritical of Obama is a major understatement.

As for you staying in a church that is totally against something so basic and fundamental as abortion and homosexuality, I have to say in no way can I respect that. No church who preaches discrimination against ANYONE, be it women, Blacks, or homosexuals or anyone else will EVER get my support and my attendance. If you're ok doing it that's your business but I have no respect for that choice whatsoever. When people stop supporting this kind of discrimination by leaving and removing their support, then AND ONLY THEN will it stop. So you choosing to stay in no way explains or excuses Obama because I think you are as wrong as he is.

5. Children often don't decide what church they go to...

quite frequently they are dragged to church by their parents. Many times, when they reach maturity they don't bother to go back.

I suspect a lot of politicians go to church just because it looks good to some voters.

7. No, the children didn't choose the church

adults chose the church

8. Obama was not a child when he chose to go there, and kept on

going there for years and years.
