I don't remember Hillary ever saying that Ferraro was her "Moral Compass"...do you??

Spin, spin, spin!

The liberals, for years have been accusing the right/conservatives/repubs of being hate mongering racists. I must say I am loving that the truth is coming out and the real, modern day racism is within the left.
Oh yes, it is a beautiful thing to behold, isn't it?

First chance Hill&Bill got they played the race card - S. Carolina. It is so gratifying to see them exposed for what they truly are - something the conservatives have known for years, btw.

So do I. There really is a profound difference in black baptist churches/pastors and their sermons vs. white churches and their pastors. For us its a combination of style, substance and liveliness. I currently live in a predominantly white suburb. When I don't feel like driving back to my old neighborhood, I have attended a (white) baptist church close to home. While the people are pleasant, I have never heard a peep out of anyone during the service. They do not praise God, everything is done routinely and on a schedule. The entire services is 1.5 hours, which is unheard of in black baptist churches. I've been to black funerals that were livelier than white churches.

So...uh...just for clarification: Lively = Better? or what? I don't think I understand your point for posting that? And what does the "liveliness" of a sermon have to do with whether the remarks are racist or anti-American?


Maybe some people simply don't need to feel as if they're at a comedy club/concert or be screamed at to feel the presence of God.

YouTube - Barack Obama Pastor Jeremiah Wright NEW TAPES!!!!

Yet, Obama claimed the other night that he only recently became aware of Wright's sermons on these subjects. If anybody believes THAT, I've got a bridge in New York City I'd like to sell them!
Please, anybody who wants to post more Reverend Wright Videos, feel free!!



Has anybody seen THIS ONE:



*****





YouTube - Hillary ain't never been called a ******! - Jeremiah Wright

It has a clip of Rev Otis Moss, the NEW Pastor of Obama's church. Watch at how he ACTS!!

Are you referring to a black church as a comedy club/concert? I sure hope not.

BTW, maybe if you were in your seventies, and had grown up black in this country, you might not be so enamored with it either. I mean, like it or not, most of what Rev. Wright said is the truth.

Barack being a member of the church didn't mean he attended services every week. I'm a member of a church but the last time i went to service there was 2 years ago. Just because he is a registered member didn't mean he went regularly.

Almost all people in their 70's have a somewhat different perspective on things including race than people in their 20's.

Some people lived when there were still Jim Crow laws, and certainly all that played a role in their mindset. It's too easy for younger people and others to negate the experiences of another generation. We are all products of our generation in some way.
