Rev. Wright volunteered for the Marines and then the Navy during the Vietnam War and was part of a unit preparing to be deployed to Cuba during the Cuba missile crisis. Rev. Wright demonstrated his patriotism by actually serving, not just giving lip service.
Lee Harvey Oswald volunteered for the Marines too and was even trusted with a security clearance to handle confidential material.
I refuse to call Oswald patriotic, so I am going to say that volunteering for service does not necessarily prove patriotism. I prefer to use a more holistic approach.

My bad, what was it, a year and a half after 9-11 Wright said Gog D@^& America? That is so much better.
Perhaps Wright isn't unpatriotic, but there seems to be controversial comments that can be described as anti-white or anti-American. It is reasonable for someone to question Wright - heck, doesn't even Obama question Wright by publicly distancing himself from him?
The fact that you think you make "rational objective" responses shows how overboard you truly are for Obama.
Your emotional love for Obama clouds your logic.
I am the one using logic and facts -- which is why you can only focus on correctly being called out for your emotional attachment to Obama -- while I focus on logical arguments and how absurd Obamabots are on this thread.
1) You Obamabots play dumb with the definition of unpatriotic.
2) You Obamabots play dumb with Obama's whole speech(es) against Bush.
3) Obama (D) questioning Bush's (R) love for his country = not a problem.
4) Al Gore (D) questioning Bush's (R) love for his country = not a problem.
5) Bill Clinton (D) questioning Obama's (D) love for his country = needs to be quickly swept under the rug.
6) Giuliani (R) questioning Obama's (D) love for his country = Giuliani's name is tarnished forever!
7) Attending a church for ~2 Decades where the pastor is clearly unpatriotic and "God D@^&s America" right after 9-11 isn't a possible sign of not loving America as is.
8) Having friends that hated America to the point where some even became domestic terrorists isn't a possible sign of not loving America as is.

So in other words, you can't tackle the points above, because you recognize that logically you are in the wrong?
Obama's comments were relative to the deficit but he was wrong using the words unpatriotic. His point was that deficits weaken our country, Giuliani made a blanket statement that Obama was unpatriotic and repeated the same over a number of days without anything specific. I see this on a different level.
Obama attacked Bush's motives and wisdom in that speech and other speeches...
Big Oil Haliburton gets no-bid.....Rich get big tax breaks while the working class gets stiffed....rich get access, you don't etc.... Then to top it off $4 Trillion in new debt = Unpatriotic.
The funny thing is...Obama has done every Bush thing he complained about in that speech (or even out-Bushed Bush) and the same people who cheered don't care and then freak out when Obama is called unpatriotic!
Bill Clinton implied in a blanket statement that Obama was unpatriotic...the Obama campaign agrees with me on this point and all I get on this thread is *crickets*.
Can we all just agree that Obama is an enemy of liberty and is a savior to those who want to bring Americans into the Turd World?
