More on Obama's "mentor" and "spiritual guide"
Last year when Sean Hannity asked Jeremiah Wright to defend his "God damn America" rhetoric, Wright indignantly asked Hannity if he had read any of James Cone's "Black Liberation Theology", as though only then could a white man understand and then accept such inflammatory sermonizing.

Well, what sort of God does James Cone and Jeremiah Wright embrace with their "Black Liberation Theology"?

"If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him." - James Cone, "A Black Theology of Liberation", 1970

Sean Hannity is a supreme joke, but he's to be congratulated for not taking that sort of smut literature and its proponents seriously... I wish I could say the same about Obama, for whom with the light of a little bit of exposure I've recently lost an enormous amount of respect.

1. Rex_Goodheart: "Hannity is more respectable than Obama"
You completely jumped the shark with that one.

3. Can you cite the page number of that quote? If not where did you pull it from?
