Where have you been? Obama won the SC Primary too!!! Hillary didn't even campaign much in SC. That shows that she didn't think SC was that important a state. The Clintons are crooks. They were involved in many shady deals during the Clinton years. Have you seen the list of people associated with them that mysteriously committed suicide? John McCain is just an extension of George W. George is the liar. Sacrified American men and women for weapons of mass destruction that they never found. Obama did not disrespect the flag. They were not pledging alligiance to the flag -- they were singing the National Anthem and the others in the picture were not even looking at the flag. You are very misinformed. Racists are the ones that are a disgrace to America and they will be the ones to destroy it.

Ummm ... I think Obama's list of lies is longer than Hilary's but I wouldnt vote for either of them. Not only because of the lies you mentioned above about Obama and Hilary, but because while Clinton was President - she was involved in the Whitewater scandal with her husband.
It's OK with you that Bush started a war with a lie to take over oil fields. It's OK with you that we will never get out of the debt he has drove us to. It's OK with you we bombed innocent women and children and tortured them. It's OK with you that some of the most valuable artifacts on the planet are now lost forever. It's OK with you that the rest of the world hates us. The only thing you are NOT OK with is the Clinton's lost money on a real estate investment. I think we have found the anti-christ we have all been looking for.

In essence, these acts state that, whether wanted or not, once a baby is fully born, it is recognized as fully human and is entitled to equal protection of the law under the 14th Amendment. Even pro-abortion Democrats supported the BAIPA because it contained explicit language that it would not infringe on any abortion rights. Democrat Barbara Boxer, arguably the Senate's most zealous pro-choice advocate, agreed that, with this language, the "amendment certainly does not attack Roe v. Wade."

But not Obama. In March of 2001, Obama's Illinois Judiciary Committee considered a law substantially identical to the BAIPA. It passed the Committee, with Obama voting against. In front of the full Illinois Senate, Obama was the only senator to speak against the bill, arguing that life protection extended to any (!) preterm babies (ponder that) could jeopardize abortion rights. He voted "present," tantamount to a "no" vote. In March of 2002, Obama's Committee passed the Induced Birth Liability Act, requiring medical care for babies who survive induced labor abortions - Obama again voting "present," arguing that the Act would "create one more burden on women, and I can't support that."

In 2003, the Democrats took control of the Illinois Senate, and Obama became Chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee. A Committee member sponsored an Amendment that would adopt the exact same language in Illinois's proposed BAIPA that Senator Boxer was satisfied did not curtail any abortion rights in the federal BAIPA. But as Chairman, Obama unilaterally killed the bill by never allowing a Committee vote, thereby preventing it from being voted on by the full Senate and becoming law.

Obama's position essentially boils down to this: a woman who contracts for an abortion is entitled, one way or another, to a dead baby. A dead baby must result, even if that baby had already been a distinct living being. The killing of some live babies is just part of the price we must pay in order to keep the sacred right to an abortion supreme and absolute, beyond any shadow of a doubt.

No to Hussein Obama...

Obama’s attendance and take on the Million Man March (October 16 1995), organized by the Nation of Islam’s Minister Farrakhan and Obama’s pastor-

Mr. Wright helped organize the 1995 Million Man March on Washington [Kantor] Wright, Farrakhan, Obama. The event made a strong impression on all three, with Wright particularly going out of his way to libel all those blacks who objected to the March and Farrakhan’s role in organizing it…

No to Hussein Obama...

Do not attempt to redirect the spotlight. You supported a poster who made derogatory remarks concerning a mother, right here on mother's day weekend. That was a callous disregard for respect. Whatever your political disagreements are with me, you were wrong in your support.

That is everyone's answer...his views are not of Wright's. How do you know? Do you know him to corraborate such a conjecture?
If your preacher started talking about something very controversial in church, wouldn't you naturally want to leave the church? So why did Oprah leave the church in 1992? She claimed Wright was too radical. No one is going to sit and listen to a bunch of radical ideas unless they agree or find interesting.
Wright's ideas are as dangerous as those from the KKK. He just hasn't had the opportunity to exercise them like the KKK did in the past. So to compare the ideas based on action is not fair...the ideals are dangerous to say the least, and to put a man like Obama in the most powerful position of our land is like putting a match in a box of dynamite.
on the flip side of that question do YOU know him to say that rev. wright opinions are his, so since neither of us know obama personally to guarantee how he really feels then there's no reason to NOT take him at his word when he says he does'nt feel that way,also wright's thinking is not on a level with the kkk philosiphies and historical actions against people of color, and finally my preacher preaches the pure word of god given to him by revelation of the spirit of god which is the only way to interrpute the true meaning of the scriptures and he says anything considered controversial it is back up by the holy bible.

No I don't personally know him, so you are right, we don't really know what his real thoughts are, but if you had a neighbor who flew the rebel flag and voluntarily attended KKK rallies, what would you think about your neighbor? You don't know what is in his head, but you would make an assumption, and I know you would. People make those assumptions all of the time when they see someone with a rebel flag.

As far as Wright is concerned he is very racist and very radical. Slavery was wrong, and the injustices to blacks in the 60's were wrong, that is no doubt. But not every white person can be held accountable for those wrong doings. He basically preaches that the white man is the devil, Africa is the holy land, Jesus was black, Blacks should only take care of blacks, oppression should be fought against with whatever means necessary ( violent revolts and rebellions), etc. This is why Oprah left the church. No church or pastor should encourage violence. No church or pastor should turn their head on anybody, regardless of race. No church or pastor should be saying " G od D amn America". If you visit whiterevolution.com they have similar ideals, and everyone ( including myself, but excluding themselves) would say they are extremists, radicals, and dangerous. What makes black activist, radical groups any different.

As far as your church, if anything is said like what Wright preaches, then I do not acknowledge them as a church of God either, and I do not consider them Christians. Christians preach global ministries ( in other words helping all of Gods children, not just the black ones), they preach love ( which includes loving thy neighbors as well as your enemies), they preach acceptance of all types of people, they never damn God, and they never speak hatred or intolerance of anyone or anybody. My church is a very diverse church, with blacks, whites, hispanics, etc. Scripture does not support anything Wright is preaching.

Copied and pasted from an article I found:

"Is it fair to connect Obama with his minister’s comments and actions? Absolutely.

If your minister, priest, or rabbi spoke glowingly of Farrakhan and gave him an award, would you continue to attend that house of worship or have anything to do with its leader?

Not only is Wright Obama’s minister, Wright is Obama's self-described friend and sounding board. Obama has said he found religion through Wright in the 1980s and consulted him before deciding to run for president. The title of Obama’s best-seller “The Audacity of Hope” comes from one of Wright’s sermons. Wright is one of the first people Obama thanked after his election to the Senate in 2004.

Obama prayed privately with Wright before announcing his candidacy last year.

Wright has long been a supporter of Farrakhan, whom he helped organize the Million Man March in Washington in 1995. Farrakhan has repeatedly targeted Jews, whites, America, and homosexuals with hate-filled statements.

He has called whites “blue-eyed devils” and the “anti-Christ.” He has described Jews as “bloodsuckers” who control the government, the media and some black organizations.

As noted in the Jan. 14 Newsmax article, in sermons and interviews, Dr. Wright has equated Zionism with racism and has compared Israel with South Africa under its previous policy of apartheid. On the Sunday following 9/11, Wright characterized the terrorist attacks as a consequence of violent American policies.

Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for America’s racism.

“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in Trumpet.“White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”

In one of his sermons, Wright said to thumping applause,“Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!... We [in the U.S.] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.”

As for Israel,“The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now,” Wright has said.“Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”

Instead of remaining silent, Obama should be denouncing Wright for supporting and honoring Farrakhan. Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, suggested as much when he told the Jewish Week that Obama should confront Wright, whom he described as someone who “embraces, awards, and celebrates a black racist.” If Obama is unable to change Wright’s stand, he should leave the church, Foxman said.

Obama’s failure to do so and his close relationship with Wright for more than two decades suggest that he not only condones much of what Wright says, he agrees with it.

I found this in an article prior to him denouncing Wright. Coincidently, a few days later the denouncement came. Makes you go hmmmm.......

Bill Clinton Switches to Obama!
In what some Democratic Party insiders are calling a particularly ominous sign for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, former president Bill Clinton today became the latest superdelegate to switch from Sen. Clinton to her rival, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill).
Sources close to the former president said that Mr. Clinton had been mulling such a defection for weeks, as early as the night of the Iowa primary, but that he only decided to make his decision public today.
“The American people want change,” Mr. Clinton said at a press conference in New York.“Lord knows I do.”
The former president said that “sometimes, at the end of a race, you have to put an old horse down,” adding,“I’m not speaking metaphorically.”
Mr. Clinton fueled speculation that he was seeking a role in an Obama administration, saying,“I know my way around the Oval Office, and I know how the super-secret double-lock works.”
The former president said he would relish a return to the White House, calling his tenure there “good times.”
For her part, Sen. Clinton said that the defection of her husband would not deter her from staying in the race, adding,“To my knowledge, he’s the only white voter Sen. Obama has.”
The New York senator denied that she was playing the race card, arguing,“Every other member of my family is supporting me, and by the way, they’re white.”
Elsewhere, a defiant John McCain said that his wife will not release her tax returns,“and neither will my girlfriend.”

You have it wrong... It's a Clinton supporter w;ho switched not Bill. Jeez Louise, she'll kill him!
