Wright's attacks on the treatment of blacks by whites shows anti-white bias, not anti-American. He goes over the top with some of his commentary but much of what he says about how blacks and Natives were treated is true. >> 2. Show me he "attached himself" or > > Spiritual and personal mentor for 20+ years > Robert's line was "Either Obama attached himself to these people out of cynicism and naked ambition" Having a spiritual mentor does not constitute cynicism or ambition. Cynicism and ambition are attaching yourself to Pat Robertson or James Dobson so you can get elected. Obama did not do that. McCain did. >> >> 3.

I sat in church with my parents for 20+ years and didn't argue with their preacher's anti-Catholic/anti-Semantic rants, until I finally realized how damaging and dangerous they were, then I walked away. That doesn't make me anti-Catholic/anti-Semantic, and Obama's similar action doesn't make him anti-American. > This is not evidence of him being Anti-American but it can easily go towards > him having poor judgment in long term friends. Wright may have been his friend. The others were business associates. Again, do you vet your business associates for political agendas. Even the man who prosecuted Ayers has vehemently stated that Obama is free of taint from the association. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:276713 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
