I can see Wright's appeal

[woolldog]

Even if you don't agree with him, you have to admit he's fun to watch in action. You definitely wouldn't stop going to his Church because you found Sunday services boring.

1. so do I

but not if you're running for President.

[KittyWampus]

2. what about Hillary's Prayer Cell & membership in The Fellowship lead by Doug Coe?

is that really appropriate for a Democratic contender for POTUS?

[goclark]

6. Thank you ~

I am in a Prayer group at my church.

I would find it strange to be in a Prayer Group or a Bible Study with mostly Republicans.

We have a very close bond and are always there to lend support to each other.

Maybe that's how she became so close to the Rethugs.

[KittyWampus]

15. they aren't just Republicans, they are essentially Dominionists. This is extreme. Their Mission is

at odds with not just the Democratic party, but Democracy and our Constitution.

19. What about George HW Bush's Freemasonry?

Nobody ever talks about that.

[KittyWampus]

20. men in power tend to associate with one another trying to figure out how to maintain their control

Freemasons, however aren't primarily about that.

[goclark]

22. Wow! And not one peep about it from the Media

3. He got married and had his kids baptised by this man. They are

friends and have been for 20 years. Obama has denounced some of the things he's said, but I love the fact that he hasn't denounced his friend. That means a lot to me.

[ruggerson]

9. I like his loyalty too

but I don't buy that he hasn't heard most of these remarks before.

He should have quit a few years ago, and this wouldn't even be a story.

He didn't have to quit his friendship, just this particular congregation.

There's a big hole in the story. He told Wright a year ago at the beginning of the campaign that he would have to distance himself because he's so controversial. Now he says this is the first he's heard of it. It doesn't jibe.

12. I'll bet YOU missed this little jewel, posted earlier

At the same time, Wright pushes back against prosperity preachers like T. D. Jakes and Creflo Dollar. Such "prosperity pimps" preach that capitalism is "synonymous with Christianity" (Blow the Trumpet in Zion), he complains. Wright also counters the black church's traditional conservatism on issues like homosexuality and gender. Trinity has a singles class called "Same Gender Loving," and Wright has encouraged women into pastoral ministry throughout his career ... Wright's particular genius is his ability to hold all these emphases together. He's a black pastor of a black church that is the largest congregation in a mostly white denomination. He's the spiritual shepherd of black nationalists and Christian pacifists ...

21. Please. Obama, the youth, is going to tell this man he respects what to

do, for Obama's potential future, the one that wasn't supposed to go far?

I hope you are enjoying this. I'm not.

[lligrd]

4. These Comments Were Made Years Ago

Obama wasn't running then and says he never heard them. I am quite certain the guy isn't that controversial all the time. I think some of your comments would look equally as bad in the press. I know mine would.

[ruggerson]

11. The Hillary ain't never been called a ni*ger remark

and the "rich white people" stuff were from December.

[woolldog]

14. What he said was kind of true wasn't it ruggerson?

you gotta admit.

[ruggerson]

18. I like the guy actually

my problem with it is that I know how people in middle america will react to this. And it conflicts with Obama's unity message. And it lays him open to charges about his veracity.

Put it this way, if I lived in the neighborhood, I'd probably frequent the church.

But I'm not running for President.

[lligrd]

16. So, They Are True

What is the bid deal about those? Don't tell me your side isn't using the woman thing to the hilt.

[Enrique]

5. he's not my cup of tea

[rucky]

7. We all like to get our blood boiling every now and then...

otherwise we wouldn't be here.

[meow mix]

8. yup. he's pretty cool

id go to his church lol

[high density]

10. It beats fire and brimstone on abortion

(Aka the crap I was exposed to in the Catholic church.)

[uponit7771]

13. LOL!!!
