50. I disagree
Truth is truth, it doesn`t matter whether it comes from a politician or a minister. If Rev Wright stood up and said "all white people should be interned for crimes against black people", are you saying this wouldn`t have a negative effect on Obama? Of course it would. However, what Rev Wright said, struck a chord with a number of people, and the MSM can try and hype up the God Damn America angle, but people are sick to death of the MSM, as such, the vast majority of people I know went straight to you Tube and listened to his whole sermon.

I agree with your basic premise, the separation of religion and politics, in fact, Rev Wright gave a sermon called "God and Government", in what he states "people confuse God with Government", as such, the Rev agrees with you also, but do not discount the fact that a lot of people respect him for speaking truth to power, they may not agree with everything he says, but they do agree with some of the things he said.

Peace
