Preacherman

How can a man who sat under Jeremiah Wright's preaching for twenty years, a man who refuses to wear a flag pin, a man who will not even put his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is played possibly have a legitimate chance of becoming President of the United States?

How can a man whose wife (after living a privileged life and going to Ivy League universities) says that she's never been proud of her country until her husband ran for President, even be considered.

Jeremiah Wright is an anti-American racist, pure and simple who still holds all whites responsible for slavery and the repression of black people.

Barrack Obama says that he's only heard him preach about Jesus and God. In other words, he just happened to miss all the anti white, anti American sermons.

It is extremely hard to believe that Wright only preached these sermons selectively, making sure Obama was not in the congregations when he preached them. And I submit to you that he did not just start preaching these negative sermons in the last couple of years. I think Mr. Wright has been harboring these thoughts in his heart for a long time.

If Mr. Obama has been going to his church for twenty years the odds of him not witnessing or hearing about at least one of these venomous diatribes are too high to even contemplate.

How can a man go to a church where the pastor preaches such a virulent anti-white message and expect to be elected to the highest office in the free world? Doesn't he have to be the President of all the people, white included?

Before some of you cherry pickers out there get on your high horse and accuse me of being prejudiced against Obama because he's black, let me say this. I don't care about the race or gender of the President of the United States, I just want the best person in the job and if I felt Barrack Obama was that person I'd vote for him in a New York minute.

I know that Obama has said that he doesn't agree with Wright's rants but he hasn't outright denounced them, called them scurrilous and divisive as they surely are.

And where are the New York Times front-page articles? I will guarantee you that if Pat Robertson had even uttered one anti-black word in one of his sermons it would have been splashed all over the front pages of America and a feature on the TV news shows.

And what if he had partnered up for a trip to a foreign country with the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan? What do you think the reaction would have been?

Yes the old double standard is at work again, but this time it's too little, too late. Fox News, bless them, has forced the issue and made it impossible to ignore, and rightfully so.

The people of this nation have a right to know.
