Obama (5.00 / 1) (#4)

will NOT be attending Easter Services.

Obama's allies are hoping the focus will stay off of Wright this Easter Sunday when the Democratic frontrunner skips services at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago and heads on vacation.
That's too bad. (4.55 / 9) (#6)

I was wondering how Wright was gonna tie the Clintons to
Jesus' crucifixion.

that was the funniest thing
I have read this whole election season any blog.

"I was wondering how Wright was gonna tie the Clintons to
Jesus' crucifixion. "

Goodness knows, Hillary has been blamed for everything else.

I'm trying to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and not hold his statements against Sen. Obama, and I agree that crimes against black women are not reported on like those of (young) white women. But that comment was just disgusting.

It's also true (none / 0) (#106)

that crimes against "pretty" women are reported more than those against "plain" women.

Everything in our media is about what caters to the American Idol crowd.

(with caveat, I love American Idol AND Dancin with the Stars).

attractive women get more coverage when they are raped and murdered...but it's kind of hard to blame them. (Not that you were at all. I am talking about Wright here)  The media chooses who they are going to cover, and it's not even enough to be pretty anymore; there has to be some other kind of hook to draw people in.

I think it's fairly disgusting to blame a woman for being raped and killed, as if she asked for it because she had a drink.  Of course, no one is really focussing on those types of comments or what was said about Clinton as the podium was humped or the G D America crap.  It was all about race.

Does anyone else find it hard to believe that he wasn't in church the Sunday after 9/11?  Why hasn't anyone asked him why - on a day when even atheists considered going to church - he sat it out?

There is something terribly disingenuous about him.

Someone check the math.  Is this like when he was fighting a heated US Senate campaign that was actually a state campaign?

apparently, Meeks has some interesting wright-like comments of his own on tape: LINK

Compares Daley to slavemasters over aa's, among others.

Good God.  What is going on here?

I mentioned on another thread that it wouldn't even matter if they had tapes of Obama in his church.  That tapes of other sermons would be used to push a message.  Question... do you think churches are going to stop selling their cds?
