The Wright thing - how much effect will it have on Obama 08?

I don't know why that s*** f*** has to bring my name into this. I REALLY wish he would seek help.

Maporsche, it is what the partisans of any politician attempt to do to that politician's opponents.

Well, personally, i expect childishness and vituperation among the partisans of politicians. It goes with the territory. As for the general issue of hypocrisy, that's a human pandemic, and has been eternally.

You misspelled "all."

If it were your inference that i am an Obama supporter, you would be wrong. I'll hold my nose and vote for anyone whose last name isn't Bush or McCain.

as always I hold the big dawg in the highest regard :wink:

Is "James" a form of "John"?

That's odd. I wasn't sure of his first name so I Googled "James Hagee" and came up with enough results to convince me that his name was James. Looks like plenty of others made the same mistake. Or else John Hagee has an evil twin out there.

I mean an eviler twin.

Maybe everyone else is confusing him with Dobson?

You could always take the typical leftist approach and try to claim that he's just showing his love of his country by disparaging it in this manner.

Where you attend church is none of my business, Joe.

McCain actively sought his endorsement for political reasons. As far as I know he hasn't sought him out as a spiritual advisor or mentor in any capacity.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right ... clearly Hagee will have more influence on McCain than Wright would have on Obama.

I'm glad we agree on that point.

We usually do, Joe.

that's a lot of tolls...

Nappy.

That is like a child closijng his eyes so as not to see sometthing that scares him. It won't wash.

Maybe he can erase his dealings with Rezco while he is at it.

It has been a few months since I last looked at the Faith-based group page on the Obama website, but I don't remember Wright ever being mentioned on that page to begin with. The group wasn't created to highlight Wright or the UCC church. It was a group of ministers from many different faiths coming together to show their support for Obama.

What is new on there is this disclaimer: "Endorsements from religious leaders are extended in their personal capacity, and not on behalf of any house of worship, organization or denomination. "

Nappy,

Do you have a link to something showing references to Wright ever existed on that page?

Ah, the testimonials page. Yeah, that page has changed a few times. I mistook it for the main page of the Faith Group section.

Interesting list of people giving testimonies there.

That's not the exclusive preserve of leftists: Obama's Minister Committed "Treason" But When My Father Said the Same Thing He Was a Republican Hero.

No, that would be Rod "Let's Destroy Islam" Parsley.

Francis Schaeffer may have an axe to grind (and books to sell), but as far as I know no candidate in this upcoming presidential election has asked his father to advise his or her campaign.

The insincerity of your prior remark is duly noted.

Do you believe McCain sought out Parsley as a spiritual guide, Joe? Calling someone "a spiritual guide" is certainly not the same as calling that person "my spiritual guide."
