The humper , Rev Wright not gone from Obama's church per WSJ
The minister who spews hate speech and humps the air like a dog, while saying Bill Clinton did to us, like he did to Monica will remain at this hate filled church until June per WSJ.



Obama Pastors' Sermons
May Violate Tax Laws
By SUZANNE SATALINE
March 10, 2008; Page A1

On Christmas morning, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. compared presidential candidate Barack Obama's impoverished childhood to Jesus Christ's. "Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people," he then trumpeted. "Hillary can never know that."

Mr. Wright wasn't at a convention or a campaign stop. He was standing at the pulpit before the mostly African-American congregation of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, where Sen. Obama has worshiped for more than 20 years.

Mr. Wright, who will be ending his 36-year tenure as the church's senior pastor in June, has previously been criticized for comments deriding President George Bush and lauding Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. Now Mr. Wright's and his successor's repeated enthusiastic promotion of their famous parishioner may be running afoul of federal tax law, which says churches can endanger their tax-exempt status by endorsing or opposing candidates for public office.

1. Are you aware...
when you post Wall Street Journal stuff, you're doing the bidding of Hillary's good friend Rupert Murdoch? Does it make you proud to do the bidding of the filthy rightwing?

4. I think Obama should distance himself, but are you seriously asking him
to get a pastor fired from his church?

5. Yes, he retires in June
But, you already knew that.

As for your application of descriptors such as "hate speech" and "hate-filled church", well, you see what you want to see and you hear what you want to hear.

6. Have you taken your religion test for govt yet?Can't have an "uppity" pastor can we?
we can't have people saying controversial things like this pastor did.

Must tie his hands behind his back. Stop him from speaking out.

Feigned outrage by non Christian judges who demand that everyone be white and christian.

ABCCBSCNNNBCMSNBC doesn't like public figures to cast doubt on our wonderful
government or the official story.

9. And Obama himself will be there. If he truly wants to break with Wright he should leave that church
Edited on Sat Mar-15-08 06:04 AM by jackson_dem
Unless he is going to not vote present until June at his own church, which is unlikely as hell. The cameras will sure be there the next Sunday Obama goes to that church.
