Is this a hateful church?
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 07:25 AM by LuckyTheDog
Or, is injecting ethnicity into worship bad ONLY if the ethnicity is African?

2. The problem isn't 'ethnicity'
It's the "God DAMN America" rhetoric. It's the conspiracy theories. It's Obama's lies about not knowing that those are the views espoused by Rev. Wright.

It is this simple: Middle America is turned off by the above views. They won't vote for someone who is associated with the above views. Obama can give speech after speech, but he can't run from the fact that for 20 years he has been associated with/mentored by/friend of Rev. Wright. Serious questions have been raised in the minds of many, many voters. Expect the Republics to make the most of this opportunity, if Obama gets the nomination.

3. The goalposts have moved
LONG before all that came out, the righties were pointing to the African nature of Obama's church as a reason not to vote for him.
