It must be you, Sal, because Obama said he was outraged and appalled by the performance of Wright. But you don't even seem to saddened that your candidate just lost his only chance at the nomination. So, I guess you'll be casting a spoiler vote for Nader this election. I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday. - Barack Obama Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday he was outraged and appalled by the latest comments from his former pastor, who asserted that criticism of his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church and the U.S. government was responsible for the creation of the AIDS virus.

Moyers's question after this diatribe: When people saw the sound bites from it this year, they thought you were blaming America. Did you somehow fail to communicate? Thought he was blaming America?

So, you're thinking that Wright's point about biological difference between blacks and whites will be proven? Maybe you should get up to speed and read the transcripts of Wright's speeches! Now that Reverend Wright has expounded on the innate biological differences between whites and blacks, surely some more definitive break is called for. Obama knows that Wright is a thorough-going racist. (...) It turns out, however, that Reverend Wright is indeed a crank and a demagogue. Despite Obama's best efforts, Wright has now supplied the allegedly missing context in which Wright is best understood. Read more: 'A Thomas Eagleton moment?'

So, I guess the Rev. Wright has a real problem with his reading AND hearing comprehension! Nor did he suggest America engages in terrorism. Peck did make some foreign policy references in speaking about bombing Haiti, Cambodia and Panama but said nothing about Hiroshima or Nagasaki as Reverend Wright also claimed.

It must be me--I looked at the 3 videos of Wright answering questions on Monday, the ones that are all over the news now, and I didn't see anything of what some others apparently did. Am I that jaded? One guy posted the videos with the heading 'Shocking' while another said 'Smug.' I didn't see much of that, definitely not the first at least. What I saw was someone with a lot of self-confidence who didn't feel like putting up with the media crap, but who answered every single one of the questions, didn't dodge, and was extremely articulate. That's a hell of a lot more than you can say for George Bush. And what about Falwell's comments? Why was he still received at the WH after those? No, there's no double standard in America...it's just everyone's imagination. I recommend anyone with any interest to see the qa on YouTube and make up your own minds. (My personally most favorite moment, How long did Cheney serve? when the topic of patriotism came up. The Rev is a decorated Marine. And who does the idiotic media sheeple trumpet as more patriotic? The slob who had other priorities. Only in America. Sal
