Reverend Wright. I just think he's unelectable, what with all that shouting and everything. And I disagree with the whole AIDS thing, so everything he said must be cockamamey, even the true stuff. So I won't be supporting him anymore. I'll be voting for one of the two Democratic candidates instead. Sorry if that disappoints anybody.

1. Well, I can't blame you
Rev. Wright has no chance in November, sad to say.

2. I'll only vote for him if
He wins a majority of the PLEDGED delegates. It has to be democratic.

5. I agree. Reverend Wright is damaged beyond all hope as a presidential candidate.
Edited on Thu Mar-27-08 12:20 PM by Bonobo
He should just give up.

Huh? He's not in what? B-but...!

10. He speaks so much, so many words a day, sometimes he misspeaks
He didn't mean what he said, he was just tired.

But he'll be ready to answer the phone at 3 am after he gets some rest. A vote for Wright at the right time is right.

12. Great post. When did Wright become Obama's alias?
Edited on Thu Mar-27-08 12:24 PM by maximusveritas
Not only are they cherrypicking words from Wright's 20-year career, they're now picking the words of his mentors and people who's columns he's reprinted. So we're now moving into multiple degrees of separation from Obama.

13. I came to the same conclusion. It's not that I disagree with his politics...
... he's simply too incendiary.

29. No problem.
But before you go can I have all the dates you have when Barrack Obama was present for your sermons for the past 5 years? So I can match them up to see if Obama was there when you said God damn America? And if the video has Obama shaking his head in agreement.
I know the senator Ron Paul said those words himself but he is not running for President, he just passes and opposes bills in congress so it's not that important of our country to be concerned about that. Just Obama are we concerned with. I know he disagrees with what you said but you don't know politics and...
