Not sure how any of those statements demonstrates that Rev. Wright was or is a bigot. Who is he bigoted against? I do now that we was instrumental in creating the largest congregation in the United Church of Christ which traces its roots back to the Pilgrims and Puritans and is a predominately (95%+) Euro-American denomination.
It seems to me that you are using in the same tactics you accused liberals of engaging in earlier in this thread. You don't like Rev. Wright's message so he is bigot.
"
I believe I stated he engaged in inflammatory statements and was a bigot.
Do you not agree that his "sermons" are inflammatory? His inflammatory statements against the U.S. the goverment, Hillary and Bill Clinton.
And to use a church's pulpit to spread his hate to naive members of his church. Disgusting.
He obviously has hate and disdain for the U.S.,and white people soley because they are white. This IMO is racist. If a white pastor said these things you would be up in arms. But you seem OK with it.
Unless a politician whose in office is trying to force their religion on others, who the hell cares?
"Overall, the study confirmed the importance that Americans attach to faith, with 69% of respondents agreeing that it is important for a president to have strong religious beliefs. Even among people not as observant — defined as those who attend services a few times per year or less — more than half said they had a favorable view of candidates they regarded as religious, while fewer than half expressed favorable opinions of candidates they did not view as religious.
But unsurprisingly, all religions are not created equal in the eyes of Americans. Sixty-one percent said they would be less likely to support a presidential candidate who did not believe in God, while 45% said the same for a Muslim contender. (Five percent or fewer said they would be likelier to support candidates who were atheists, Muslims or Mormons.) In contrast, small minorities said they would be less likely to support Jewish (11%), Catholic (7%) or evangelical Christian (16%) candidates, but similarly sized minorities also said they would be more likely to support candidates from Jewish, Catholic or evangelical backgrounds."

BO does not even attend church a few times a year.
BO does not even attend church a few times a year.
Nor do many other people.
READ, LEARN...not everybody needs to PROVE that they're "good" by trotting off to a building on a certain day at a certain time....it's all show and means little since really bad people have attended church(like child raping priests who attend church all the time).
To base your opinion of a President or anyone else the on number of times they walked into a building is ridiculous....
