  Hateful and ignorant speech didn’t matter when it was the President’s own long time pastor. Why should it matter when it is this crazy loon?

  expdoc: How you can say that the Rev. Wright’s overwrought rhetoric “didn’t matter”? Where were you when the media were obsessed with that subject for at least six weeks in the spring of 2008?
  How do you think Wright became nationally famous? How did he become a subject of great controversy? Didn’t matter my foot!

  You remind me of a guy I once knew who said to me that the media “never tell you about” some certain subject. When he went into detail about the matter, I asked him where he got that information. He said he read about it in a newspaper and saw it on television — the same kind of media that “never” mentioned such stuff.

  Aw, c’mon, expdoc. You’re one of the smarter-than-average Cons on this blog. We shouldn’t have to explain to you the difference between “talking crazy” using generalities and spewing outright hate towards a targeted individual (someone who, in this case, just happens to be the POTUS).

  Seriously, Cons, what do you consider to be the largest contributing factor to your ever-increasing unpopularity and irrelevance among moderate conservatives? Is it President Obama and the Democrats in Congress? Or is it the evolution of modern technology such as Google (easily used to expose conservative lies, distortions, and half-truths) and You Tube (effectively used to show the mental instability of the members of your base)?

  Orlando,

  I am a moderate conservative. My point was that I AM OFFENDED by the crazy in Pat’s post. Whereas the President sat and listened to Wright for 20 years and then conveniently distanced himself from his pastor who married him and baptized his kids as soon as it was politically expedient for him. I would have walked out on Pat’s crazy in 30 seconds because I disagree with him vehemently as a Christian and a human being. Why did Obama sit there all those years?

  BTW Orlando, I think that the new media has done much more damage exposing liberals for the hypocrites they frequently are.

  I’m sure you saw a sound bite of jeremioah Wright saying “God damn America.” I am also sure you did not see the whole sermon because no one has.
  If you have ever been to different churches many reverends preach about God’s impending judgement on America, even openly wish for it if the political parties don’t give them their way. There is even an industry of devoted to speculating who the anti-christ is. When one goes away or is no longer a national threat, another one comes along. Authors like Tim La Haye, Dave Hunt, Hal Lindsey, and Grant Jeffrey and TV preachers like Pat Robertson and Jack Van Impe have made a comfortable living insinuating someone they didn’t like or the new foreign leader who rattles a saber at the US is in fact the Biblical anti-christ.
  Jerry Falwell claimed 9-11 was a judgement from God for the US permitting homsexuality and abortion. Reverend Wright is doing nothing new in making broad assertions.
  This reverend specifically wishes for Obama’s death publicly. I believe he is trying to usurp Randall Terry as the newest poison-talker.

  I see Richard still believes Obama’s exaggerated ties to Bill Ayers from his link.
  Wright’s kookiness is no different from that of Falwell. Falwell got good seats at the Republican national convention. To say Wright is MORE irresponsible is a stretch. In right-wing theology, the right-wing is the guardian of an moral Christian America that never existed and EVERYONE ELSE is to blame for the nation’s supposed decline — except them. It is a self-serving fantasy. In Wright’s theology, America is hostile to its non-white citizens and should be punished by God –especially the right-wing.
  I don’t believe either of them.
  All presidents have kooks who support them. Obama has distanced himself from his. The right-wing openly courts them or at least rewards them with large audiences.
  Here’s the text of Wright’s speeches vs. sound bites.

  What is different about the person in Pat’s video and than Falwell or Wright, is that he specifically wishes for an individual to die.

  “Obama’s exaggerated ties to Bill Ayers ”

  Exaggerated? His political career started in Ayers’ living room. B.H.O.’s Socialist agenda is straight out of the playbook of Leftists like Ayers, Dohrn, and Alinski.

  “All presidents have kooks who support them. Obama has distanced himself from his.”
  Yeah, when it suited his political needs to “throw them under the bus”. Remember when B.H.O. said: “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother” ? Within a few days, Rev. Wright was “under the bus”.

  “His political career started in Ayers’ living room.” NOT TRUE.
  “Obama’s formal kick-off to announce his run for state senate was at the Hyde Park Ramada Inn on Sept. 19, 1995. Obama was introduced by Palmer [the (at that time retiring) incumbant] in a room filled with supporters at the Ramada, fronting Lake Michigan on South Lake Shore Drive, a stroll from the Museum of Science and Industry.” link
  In the months following this kick-off there were a number of house parties for Barack Obama in his Hyde Park neighborhood, one of which was hosted by Bill Ayers, a professor at the University of Chicago.

  I beg to differ:

  CNN later confirmed that Barack Obama indeed began his political career in the living room of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, despite his protestations to the contrary.

  Barack Obama began his political career with a “Meet the Candidate” function hosted by Ayers and Dohrn in their Chicago home in the mid 1990s. Ayers tapped Obama to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a radical educational foundation. The duo also served together on the board of the Woods Foundation, a fringe community organizing group, well after a photo of Ayers stomping on the American Flag was published in 2001.

  Ayers was leader of the violent late 60s and early 70s terrorist group Weather Underground. Dohrn was also a member of the group.

  Although Obama actually launched his political career at an event at Ayers’s and Dohrn’s home, Obama has dismissed Ayers as just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” and “not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.”

  But, please feel free to believe the Leftist propaganda, if you prefer.

  Ah, yes, we can always count on SNuss to bring up the Bill Ayers stuff, which didn’t work last year and won’t work now. It’s all a crock cooked up by right-wing extremists of SNuss’ ilk.

  The truth of the matter about Obama and Ayers can be found here:
  http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/10/15/obama-did-not-launch-his-political-career-in-bill-ayers-living-room/

  and here:
  http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/10/13/pants-on-fire/

  and here:
  http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/10/11/factcheckorg-says-mccain-palin-claims-about-obama-and-ayers-are-groundless/

  SNuss offers a link to a CNN report which mostly dwells on the fact that both Obama and Ayers were involved with the Annenberg Challenge, which was funded by Leonora Annenberg — a conservative Republican who endorsed John McCain for president last year, as we see here:
  http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/10/08/uh-oh-mccain-linked-to-bill-ayers-are-they-best-of-friends-who-knows-could-be/

  Snuss fails to mention that Obama has publicly denounced Ayers’ radicalism in the 1960s and ’70s. But more to the point, Snuss also fails to mention that John McCain HAS NOT DENOUNCED the actions of G. Gordon Liddy, a convicted felon and 1970’s political terrorist whom McCain not long ago referred to as “an old friend” and whom McCain says he admires for his “adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.”

  There’s more about McCain and his “old friend” here:
  http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/09/08/the-story-of-the-presidential-candidate-and-the-1970s-political-radical-a-convicted-felon/

  So, in summation, we can conclude that SNuss is a man of highly selective — and poorly documented — outrage. But then, we already knew that, didn’t we?

  What is the big deal He sounds that he is as full of hate as the men that Obama puts in key positions. Shame we dont see some of there speaches posted on your show

• 12. Camisha  |  September 9th, 2009 at 8:23 am

  I think CNN threw the pastor under the bus pretty good last night by questioning if he runs his security business from the church. Once the IRS gets on his butt, he’ll wish he hadn’t said that.

• 13. Dawn  |  September 15th, 2009 at 8:03 pm

  This is a very poor example of a Christian. You may not agree with his policies but to hate him and worst of all wish him to go to hell is very un-Christian like. He needs to read his bible again.
