2. And that guy gets a paycheck for it, too. Seems like a few of our fellow DUers
could've written that story.

4. Obama's statement here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4074388&mesg_id=4074388

"I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan. I assume that Trumpet Magazine made its own decision to honor Farrakhan based on his efforts to rehabilitate ex-offenders, but it is not a decision with which I agree."

6. Probably from the Trumpet Magazine.
Pastor Wright does not try to hide his pro-Aricanism. He does have deep understanding and knowledge of the REAL history of much of Africa.
