It seems that you are determined to keep Rev Wright in the spotlight and turn this election into one of race rather than character. Or maybe you are trying to make life intolerable for Wright. I know you are aware of underhanded abuses of funds by ministers of other churches, such as Oral Roberts and Bob Jones Universities.
Yet I don’t hear cries of indignity againt these preachers who have made a killing off the backs of those who were only seeking hope. I think that in the end, the best thing for this country is to take the tax exempt status away from churches. If you want to play politics then pay like everyone else. Too many charlatans are robbing the people and enriching themselves with 2 or more homes, private jets, luxury vehicles. And just think of all the money that would come into the treasury. Like I have said before, I love my country. But there is no denying the deep wounds inflicted by its racist past. We are trying to move on. Why don’t you?
Watashiwa: Wright is a man who was the spiritual guide for Senator Brack Obama - a man who wants to be President of the United States - for twenty years!
Yes! He needs to be kept in the spotlight until we clearly understand the depth of his influence on the man who would be president.

What is it with the left and wanting to make everyone a victim?
Rev. Wright chose to make himself a public figure. He chose to be a part of Obama’s campaign. He chose to make hateful, bigoted comments about my race and others. Now he’s facing criticism for those comments.
He’s not a victim. He’s just participating in a free and vibrant democracy. That it’s inconvenient for your politics right now matters not at all.
The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

watashiwa,
You could not be more wrong-headed if you tried! Mr. Obama, with virtually no experience in any an executive capacity, nor in any of the areas of prominent national policy such as foreign affairs and national defense, or economic and tax policy, has nothing to offer but an admittedly glib speaking style and his character. And it is his character specifically that is called into question by his long-term associations, such as with Rev. Wright, “Tony” Rezko, William Ayers, and Louis Farakhan.
“Capitalism is optimism monetized.”

All Obama has to offer us is his chracter and his nice speeches (which are pure fluff). Since a part of a person’s character is judged by their friends…let alone their mentors…this is no insignificant issue. If McCain’s or Clinton’s mentor screamed “Black people like to keep us in fear. They rob us. They murder and mug us. And they are vicious, evil monsters, bent on sucking us dry of our money!” either candidate would be ruined. Forget on a Presidental level…either would be done, PERIOD.
That Obama’s mentor screams “White people invented AIDS to kill US!” and is written off is emblematic of some sickness in Barcleftics. “How can you point out the painfully obvious?” they wail. “Isn’t it bad enough he had to explain himself? Now you want him to not win? You’re all filthy racists!”
Like all false men of God, the Right Reverend Wright has spent his life running the long con. Steal money from the gullible and elderly, so he can step out, vastly wealthy and riding the “down low” like his hero Willie Jeff. Exactly how is he helping his downtrodden brethren? How many poor, uneducated blacks are going to benefit from him stealing all that money? Cause preachers do not retire to multi-million dollar homes, con men do.

I doubt that any of them have railed against materialism quite like the (hypocritical) wrong “Rev” Wright!

I’m waiting for the sex scandal on Minister Wright.
I can see the headline now: “Wright Riding Dirty on $1000 Hooker.”
Mickey: Sex scandal?? Have you forgotten that Rev. Wright is a man of the cloth, dedicated to preaching love, tolerance, brotherhood and truth?
How dare you, man!!

This is actually one of the cruelest things they could do to their pastor. They’re taking him and his wife out of the community they’ve lived in for decades, putting him in a home they can neither fully enjoy nor maintain themselves, and in doing so they’re wasting a cool million or two that could have been used for any number of other purposes—say paying off a church mortgage or actually helping their members make ends meet and get into productive trades.
Their choice; I just think it’s an exceedingly foolish one. Senior citizens, like the rest of us, need community, and this deprives Rev. Wright of that.
Obama chose to use the race card first by saying, A vote for him would be a vote for black people. The Rev. Wright just brought it into the open more clearly. Obama should resign!
Zsa Zsa. I agree with you. He had a tough call and could not divorce himself from his racist ideas. This is going to be very interesting. At least some are now at least acknowledging the very idea that someone else besides a caucasian can be racist!
Watashiwa. Explain this:
Too many charlatans are robbing the people and enriching themselves with 2 or more homes, private jets, luxury vehicles.
Explain robbing.
Communism is evil
Jesus, when speaking of John The Baptist gave us a perfect illustration of what we should look for in a true minister of the Gospel, a man of His anointing, where they would be found and what they would be doing. He asked, would we find them wearing fine clothing (expensive suits, jewelry and other signs of wealth) or living in kings houses (mansions, driving the finest cars, have a jet set lifestyle or anything indicating wealth beyond that of the average Christian.) His answer was to have us look at John who wore the clothing of the poorest of the poor, ate the lowest form of food, having no home or material goods. This was what we should look for in ministers of the Gospel, self sacrificing, humble people like John are anointed for the Gospel, not people lusting after wealth or living a prosperous lifestyle.
That is not to say God does not want His servants to receive just wages for their work sharing the Gospel or to live in the streets. He also blesses many men and women with great wealth to support the ministry of sharing the Gospel all over the world. Rather, I think, it means that we should be suspicious of the anointing if we see a minister of the Gospel living a life far above that of the average member of his congregation. How can he minister to people he would not invite into his home, to people that face struggles in daily life he cannot truly appreciate, how can he know their sorrows and needs, when his weathy lifestyle prevents him from having intimate communion with each member?
Is a mansion worthy of a minister of the Gospel in this world? Does the Bible speak about ministers retiring from ministry to live in ease, comfort and no longer caring for the lost and dying? Sorry, people but this image of Wright, in his words and lifestyle do not fit very well with my understanding of the Faith. I am not judging his salvation or if at one time he was truly anointed by the Lord, only that his words and deeds of today seem far from that of dear John-The-Baptist that, Jesus said was a greater minister than other men that are caught up in this world system.
In keeping silent about evil, in burying it deep within us, so that it appears nowhere on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future.

Yep.. looks like the white people are keeping dis bruthah down!
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Maybe, when a pastor retires, the Bible doesn’t mean the same as once preached

I’d like the lection to be about who’s the best possible president. How can a candidate for the United States of America have spent so much of his time associating with America haters like Wright, William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, and there’s more.
This guy wants to be comander-in-chief, yet he freely associated with people who think that America is the villians.
And these things have to be kept alive in the blogosphere, because the mainstream media refuses to scrutinize Obama to the level they would scrutinize a Hillary Clinton or a Mitt Romney.
Wing Chun: Well said! The MSM and DNC and Obama would like nothing more than for the blogosphere to be quiet about this issue, but it must be kept alive through the election if the American people will be able to make an informed, intelligent decision about him.

Those must be some mighty hellacious bedrooms. 10,340-square-feet ... mercy, I can’t even fathom the necessity of something so large.
In addition to BattleHouse Galactica, there’s the small matter of the Ten Million Dollar line of credit that goes with the house! Because, the good “Rev” might need some bling for that house! Maybe some toys?
Maybe a Lamborghini in the driveway???
