When that hate speech was spouted with references to him, by name, it became a whole lot more personal, and therefore more reprehensible. The Reverend was trying to claim Obama endorsed what he was saying.

Obama is a product of Chicago politics. Okay? He danced around the Wright 20 year history of sittng in his church and not getting him booted or leaving. Then by calling for racial discussion as if we had not been debating that since the formaton of the Republic. Same tactic on abortkion, he should know that LIFE begins at conception, a medical fact, voyted agaist aborted babies who lived, which amde hem US girl and boy citizens, voted against Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Alito who were both pro-unborn life. He is backing off somewhat but is so pro-abortion and giving MONEY we do not have for Planend Prenthood ( fake title they make money from abortions and abortoons are not planned parentood they are planned killing of unwaanted Americans who father and moehr are already parents. Now it is foreign policy to give money for overseas abortions. He called for "dialogue" at Notre Dame would be "dialogue" with the KKK ro allow some lynchings or bombing of sme black churches OR 'dialogue" with HNitler at Biucnenwald where he visited in June 2009 about allloing only 300, 000 Jews to die there rather than 600,000. For a professor of Law he is quite illogical and not very honest. Clever and handsome and eloquent with his teleprompter and pre-written speeches but....

As far as I know, Wright started most of his hate speech when the cameras started pointing to him as "Obama's pastor". That hate speech simply wasn't there during the first 20 years.

Its time to change your song. The people have chosen.

Obama says what needs to be said at the time. He has the silvery tongue of the devil. Those no talent cackling hens on the View should have challenged him on that, but no one challenges him on any of the crap he says. Lets all bow down and lick the feet of Obama. When the American middle class is gone and any hopes of ever achieving the American dream has been crushed because 70% of our money is going to Washington, maybe people will start to see this goon for what he really is.

very good point.

It's better than the Republican Hate machine who continue to spout Hatred unendlingly and without shame.

Really, dude, who gives a shit! The bottom line is that the guy believes as much as I do and that's a lot to say. If you really were smart, you'd be reading other things into that like why do political candidates have to claim to believe in the non-existent in order to be elected? Now, that right there should be a scary thought!

When the "Rev" used Obama's name to justify his own thoughts, it was then it became a situation of the personal nature. . I am a Catholic, I no sooner believe in all higher powers of the Roman Catholic monarch tries to shove down our throats, so I in many ways have distance myself from them when it comes to certain subjects. This does not mean I give up my faith...just means I disagree with some of the subjects they preach so loudly.

A helllllllllllllllllll of a lot of churches spout out hate speech, and people don't feel the need to distance themselves from those. Other presidents have themselves spouted what can be considered hate speech. Why pick on Obama? If you are so concerned about hate speech, shouldn't you also be complaining about a plethora of religious groups and major political figures/parties?

this is the first RED LIGHT i saw with the man...he left his church, period...he left God is how i feel...he wasn't supposed to be 'in church' because of any man in the first place....he used God and religion to acheive his goals...is my VIEW...and it will never change... Ben Franklin....in his personal thoughts and questions of religious hypocrits and separation of church and state and a man leaving his religion or religious calling for POWER.....his QUESTION:"whether a COMMONWEALTH(THE US) suffers MORE by 'hypocritical pretenders' to RELIGION OR by the openly profane(an atheist maybe) ...the answer was MORE by a religious hypocrite!!! HIS REPLY:" some late thoughts of this nature have inclined me to think that the HYPOCRIT is the MOST DANGEROUS person of the 2,ESPECIALLY if he sustains a post in the GOVERNMENT..The MOST DANGEROUS HYPOCRIT in a commonwealth(us) is ONE WHO LEAVES THE GOSPEL for the sake of LAW/(POWER in our case today)....A man compounded of LAW/POWER & GOSPEL is ABLE to CHEAT a whole COUNTRY with HIS RELIGION and then DESTROY them under COLOR of LAW/POWER...... God HELP AMERICA>>>>

The public saw a condensed package of several remarks taken from 20 years of preaching. We don't know that every sermon that came from the man was like this.
