I'm curious, how many of Rev. Wright's sermons have you listened to in full?

I love it, I knew you'd be right on that Spence, let's see, have not listened to all of the Rev. Racist speeches in full, nope...but...never listened to any Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, Chavez, Pol Pot, Mao, choose your maniacal tyrant speeches in full either but I'm sure that many were eloquently delivered to nodding approval by their followers and I know that they are/were bad guys, I have spent the time to learn about this "church", what it approves and pushes as it's agenda, black liberation theology, Marxism disguised as religeon...don't forget the Hamas Manifesto... much is/was available on it's own website, much has been removed for obvious reasons, can't make this one go away no matter how hard they try......but hey....it's just WORDS, right? don't worry, the Reverend isn't the nut, I am....

Wow, you're really off the deep end on this one.

So Rev. Wright who served his country in the US Marine Corps, US Navy and has spent his entire life working for the community is equated with Hitler and Pol Pot?

All because he holds a few wacky viewpoints and likes to use heated rhetoric in his sermons?

I guess now that associates Barak Obama with Hitler and Pol Pot as well.

Oh %$%$%$%$, about 1/2 of the country would probably vote for Obama. Factoring in % voters that means about 30% of the country is supporting Hitler and Pol Pot.

It's all very clear to me know why some on the Right accuse those on the Left of hating America. Considering how evil Hitler (and Pol Pot) really were, there's a lot of evil that deserves to be hated.

never said he killed anyone, simply pointed out that I didn't need to hear all of the speeches of those other fellows to know that they were bad guys, I don't need to sit and listen to all of his speeches/sermons/rants to know that Rev. Racist is a bad guy, there are more than enough associations, incidents etc. that bear this out, only the Kool Aid drinkers are going to buy the new and improved Reverend on Prozac on his goodwill tour, but give them credit for trying, can't to see the interview with Bill Ayers!

So your premise is based on the notion that Rev. Wright is such a bad person you can just tell? Like in a Hitler or Pol Pot sort of way?

Considering all the good things the man has clearly accomplished in his life, you sir, must have pretty high standards to make such a statement.

Please explain what makes him so evil, because I just can't comprehend what you're saying, and people tend to actually think I"m a pretty sharp fellow.

You are what you spew....he should be a man and stand up for what he really believes instead of this new soft spoken charade...the fact is that he is profiteering from this rhetoric, food for those with grievances real or percieved...

I never questioned your intelligence, just find it ironic that PBS and the mainstream media has plenty of time to arrange favorable, softball interviews with a man that routinely use hateful, despicable rhetoric to preach the "Word of God" to his congregation, which according to the shot that I saw last night had quite a few children in it's numbers, associates with terrorists like Khadafi and the likes of Farrakhan, more to be uncovered I'm sure, and is the "Spiritual Advisor" of the guy that wants to be president, don't know about you but I don't know too many people with those credentials(Maybe Jimmy Carter?), associations and/or proclivities...to continue to defend Snobama you will have to make excuses for the Racist Revered, the Elitist Wife and the Terrorist Sidekick....sounds like a lot of esplainin'.... how about an occasional story about an act or two of bravery by our folks over seas....somewhere???...anwhere???...nope no time for that...too busy proping up a slumping Obama......which was my original point...mainstream solidly media in the Obama camp, it's true...just ask the Clintons...they never lie...

hey Spence, just so we're straight, I love talking politics because it one of the very few things that get people worked into a lather over things that they can do absolutely nothing about, my best customers are big libs and I have a ball making their eyes turn red because they really know, deep down that they are wrong...the leftys have very little sense of humor and an even shorter fuse...probably a result of knowing that they are way overmatched intellectually which is why they target the lowest common denominator....so please never get upset over things that I say, you'd like me, you really would...I'm really a fun guy and I hope that you can get out and find some fish this weekend, Scott

Did you actually watch the interview, or are you just parroting what Hannity or Rush said? I don't see him backing away from his statements, in fact he reinforced them.

So FOX News (along with most cable news) running the same clips 24/7 with zero discussion on what Rev. Wright was actually trying to communicate is somehow ok, but to let the man speak for himself is weak? Give me a break.

Have you ever bothered to actually look into why he went to Libya?

It appears as though he was on a peace mission with a number of ministers (including Farrakhan) who went to Libya and Syria to help free a captured US Navy pilot shot down over Lebanon.

Ronald Reagan remarked the ministers "earned our gratitude and our admiration."

But you still think the man is evil, cause you can just smell it.

What planet do you live on?
