1. This belong under religion does it not?

Is he running for office?

[RichardRay]

2. You'd think so, wouldn't you?

But, no, he's not. If you really can't figure out why this is posted here I'll be glad to discuss it with you.

[mac2]

8. Free publicity for his religious group and church candidate

Obama?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

34. So let me get this straight

The MSM can blather about Wright and smear his reputation before the whole world in an endless loop, and Hillary Clinton is allowed to weigh in on it as well ("He wouldn't be MY pastor!") but if he goes on the air to defend his views, he's a political opportunist.

What. The. Fuck. Ever.

:eyes:

[grantcart]

4. he addresses the point in the video

[mac2]

6. I don't care about his video...

He's not my religious leader, representative, or political candidate. Why would I care a bit about what he has to say about anything? He has no power in my and many other people's world. He'd like to be. You'd apparently would like it to be so.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Then. Don't. Watch.

Is anyone forcing you to do so?

Also, you might just hide the thread if you find it so offensive.

[mac2]

16. No and I won't.

[cliffordu]

17. Well, congratulations. You just exercised your right to religious freedom.

Yawn.

[mac2]

22. My freedom is freedom from religion

[cliffordu]

23. That's right. Big fucking deal.

[mac2]

25. I'm not going to vote for him in November.

[cliffordu]

30. Tough shit for Obama then.

When she steps down will you leave right away or hang out till the General Election?

[mac2]

35. Not voting for Rev. Wright.

[RichardRay]

36. That's OK, he's not running...

Oh, were you talking about somebody other than Reverend Wright?

[grantcart]

31. So your arguing that only political candidates should be listened to

and we should ignore commentators, analysts, ethicists, teachers, and everyone else except those that are actually running for office?

[mac2]

37. No only religious representatives.

Religion belongs in your home or church not in the public forum. It is unconstitutional.

[The Doctor.]

47. That's hilarious! So... just WHO brought Wright into 'the public forum'?

Fail.

[anonymous171]

10. Tell that to Hillary and her campaign.

They've been pushing the Wright issue with the superdelegates

[Quixote1818]

14. Since when does something associated with the NAACP belong under religion?

:eyes:

[grantcart]

33. Is the NAACP now a relilgious organization?

[mac2]

38. Seems like the clergy use it for their own agenda.

[cliffordu]

40. Just like you twitter and chirp your agenda here....

[mac2]

41. Well you don't have to read it.

I have a right to be here since I am a Democrat. Block me then from your eyes. I'm discussing things you don't seem to think are important living in a democracy such as separation of church and state.

Boot click.

[DerekJ]

3. Oh thank you :) Kick for those like me with no TV :)

:kick:

[mac2]

7. Call his church. We have no obligation to this man.

[DerekJ]

12. Sorry I don't get your comment. No! Honest, I don't understand.

What obligations are you talking about?

[SeattleGirl]

13. The one that exists only in the poster's head.

[mac2]

18. We have no obligation to post his speech on this site.

He is not in politics or running for office. Call his church if you missed it.

[SeattleGirl]

19. Get over yourself already!

You are now officially being obnoxious.

[cliffordu]

20. And exactly who put you in charge? Are you the posting police??

Try to help or stay out of the way, please.

[mac2]

24. I know there is a proper posting place for religion.

[cliffordu]

28. Report this to the moderators and stop booring the shit out of us,

Mr. off topic

[Quixote1818]

29. His speech is less about Religion than addressing the history and difficulty's of Blacks in America

Do you have a problem with that?

[grantcart]

32. so your against speeches given by the NAACP?

[mac2]

39. The NAACP is not a government organization.

They can have whoever they want speak. If the members want to hear from a clergy of one religious group that's up to them. Not fair to other black religious groups though (which I assume are many).

[DerekJ]

42. I can't believe your shit. It's out of bounds.

[mac2]

44. Sorry I believe in separation of church and state.

All to many like you seem to ignore it for your own self interest. Don't you believe in the Constitution and the separation clause? That's my argument.

[DerekJ]

45. Where da fuck where you when he was dragged ino the race?!! Plus did you even see the speech?!!

[Quixote1818]

54. What does this have to do with the separation clause?

Nothing! You don't have a clue what you are talking about. His speech is on TV being played by CNN not by the president or the congress. I hope you never think about becoming a lawyer because you would suck at it.

[Quixote1818]

26. The speech belongs here because he has been thrust into the current political duologue

just as many Religious figures have been both liberal and conservative. Not to mention he is addressing the NAACP which is a political group. Stop playing dumb.

[DerekJ]

27. His message of tolerance and inclusion is exactly what this progressive site is about. If you’ve

watched his speech, you might have thought otherwise.

[mac2]

43. I know about tolerance and inclusion.

We are having an election not a sermon. That's not what this site is about. Would you like to have everyone else's clergy give us a sermon too?

Our country is in crisis. We need a President to help us not a minister right now. Or at least not your minister.

[DerekJ]

46. WATCH THE SPEECH .. GO WATCH IT .. GOOOOOOOOOOO.. You are honestly making a fool out of yourself.

[mac2]

48. Absolutely not.

I'm not a fool to waste my time on a minister's speech. I have my own clergy. Save your stones for a real enemy.

Bye...Jahovah Witness is at the door.

[SeattleGirl]

49. No, you just want to waste your time posting stupid stuff on a thread

about someone you say you have no interest in.

:eyes:

[mac2]

50. Boot click

[Quixote1818]

53. Is that how you felt about the Rev. M.L.K Jr. ?

Because Wright and King talk about exactly the same things.

[DerekJ]

51. So you've no fucking clue, what he said, yet you're trashing it!!! WOW

WOW WOW.
Ignorance is a bliss.

On edit: Did you actually display your dismay with the media, when they dragged him into the race to begin with. Did you shout separation of church and state then?

[Quixote1818]

15. What the fuck are you talking about? nt

[DerekJ]

5. kick

[EFerrari]

9. Thanks. Bookmarked. n/t

[housewolf]

21. Thanks for posting!

I didn't get to see in on tv so I appreciate the links.

[BlooInBloo]

52. Does it have the CNN idiot interrupting every 10 minutes?
