Rebutting the "PastorGate" Smear

[jefferson_dem]

Needless to say, so-called "PastorGate" is going to be a major challenge for Obama and his supporters throughout this election season. I thought it important that we compile a "one stop shop" location for links and information that might be helpful in rebutting the nonsense.

I've launched a thread with links in the Obama DU Group. Please contribute as you can.

1. Whats to rebut??

I don't care what any preacher says from the pulpit. I just don't want them doing it in a tax exempt status. Again I ask, whats to rebut? Obama didn't rebut a damn word for 20 years until he thought it would be the politically expedient thing to do. And why did he do that?

3. There is and will be plenty to rebut after Obama wins the nomination.

...Unless you're keen to to let the Swift Boat Smear Wagon run amuck that is.

Your post illustrates the very challenge I was referring to. Click on a few of the links here and maybe your questions will be answered. Thanks.

Mine's not as good as some of the others but feel free to add it.
