DU Democrats: Do you agree MORE with political views of Rev Wright or Douglas Coe?

Poll question: DU Democrats: Do you agree MORE with political views of Rev Wright or Douglas Coe?

.

For those nonreligious members, like me, remember this is just about the POLITICAL VIEWS of these two spiritual leaders. Wright having been part of Obama's life for 20 years, and Coe being a significant part of Hillary Clinton's life since 1993.

[dchill]

1. Are there DU Republicans?

:)

[MNDemNY]

2. Neither

Fuck religion.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. The question was about political views

not religious ones.

[MNDemNY]

5. With both of these men, the two are much too entwined.

[blm]

8. Which of their political views do you find more harmful to our democracy?

.

[MNDemNY]

9. Any political view that makes any religion a cornerstone is shit in my book.

[blm]

11. Which does that? Coe is set up FOR the DC crowd. Wright stayed local in Chicago, so

why do you assess their political views and influence as equal?

I would guess that is a refuge one MUST take when they support politicians influenced by Coe.

I am an atheist who happens to agree far more with the political views of Wright, and in fact, don't believe in ANYTHING that Coe represents, especially politically.

[MNDemNY]

12. What is your point, as it relates to the election?

[blm]

13. Wright's been part of Obama's life last 20y. Coes's been part of Hillary's life the last 15y.

Which of the two spiritual leaders do you feel more comfortable with re their POLITICAL VIEWS, not their religious ones, but their POLITICAL VIEWS?

[MNDemNY]

14. Again, neither, religion corrupts all.

[blm]

15. Equally? Those assisting the poor based on their belief are equal to those who believe in privilege

based on their beliefs?

4. After watching Rev. Wright interviewed by Moyers...

I think he would make a far better president than Obama. Wright is very strong in areas where Obama is weak. It's those weak Obama areas that tend to really piss me off and distrust him.

[blm]

6. If you reversed their careers, however, you'd likely see a reverse of that dynamic, as well.

I happen to trust A LOT MORE of the people around Obama than I do ANY of those closest to Clintons.

[harun]

25. Obama can't say those things on the campaign trail, I hope he has

more in common with Wrights opinions than he has revealed.

7. Rev Wright

[blm]

16. Glad to see an HRC supporter say that. Thank you.

10. Hah. Which of her votes does "The Family" like to take credit for? (nt)

[blm]

17. Where are all the Clinton supporters who are damning Wright? Why not post their support of Coe?

Gee - their consciences suddenly kick in when it comes to voting for one or the other?

[redqueen]

18. Consciences? I don't know if they have those. (nt)

[blm]

19. a few do....I just wonder how FAR they will go with their loyalty when it is apparent that

Dominionists get the free ride that progressive black ministers don't.

[redqueen]

20. It seems most are following Hillary's lead.

And chalking it up as "just politics".

[blm]

21. heh - yeah but seems none want to be on record voting for Coe and the Fellowship

.

[redqueen]

22. I still would like to find that quote...

the one where someone in The Family takes credit for some of her votes, saying it's due to their influence.

IMO that is incredible.

[blm]

23. I hadn't seen that quote. Maybe the flag-burning legislation?

That would be right up their fascist alley.

[redqueen]

24. Ah... it wasn't a direct quote. It was from the Ehrenreich article...

Furthermore, The Family takes credit for some of Clinton's rightward legislative tendencies, including her support for a law guaranteeing "religious freedom" in the workplace, such as for pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions and police officers who refuse to guard abortion clinics.

I wonder if Obama voted for that religious freedom stuff, too...

[backscatter712]

26. Rev. Wright does say some outrageously stupid and offensive things...

but Doug Coe makes Wright look like a choir boy in comparison.

[TexasObserver]

27. Where is MSM on Doug Coe? Ignoring him, that's where.

God forbid they look into the shadows for one of America's strangest groups of uber Christians and their designs on getting and using power.

[Laughing Mirror]

28. Could they be sitting on the story, waiting for the book about "The Family" to come out?

I forgot the author's name, but itt's supposed to be coming out soon, the month of May, I think.

[TexasObserver]

29. Could be, but why would all of them be sitting on it?!
