njperson asks "Who cares

njperson asks "Who cares what Obama knew about the "God damn America!" sermon by Obama's "spiritual mentor" Jeremiah Wright.

Try to imagine, njperson, who would care if some white candidate embraced a "minister" who screamed "God damn all n-----s!"

"My minister happens to be a raving racist and a Nazi," the white candidate might say, "but he only advises me on "spiritual" issues, like lynching n-----s."

The miserable anti-Christianity advocated by Jeremiah Wright and his mentor James Cone has an excuse for everything, and every word can be twisted to mean anything it's convenient for it to mean at any given moment.

"While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism." [Black Theology and Black Power, James Cone, p. 14-16]

Idiots like Cone and Wright are a disgrace to the black community, but Barack Obama just went along with the whole sham spectacle, until it was convenient for him to reject it.

Who cares 'what did he

Who cares 'what did he know'? He attends a church, which is his own business, as religion has nothing to do with our Constitution or our form of government. I've seethed through a sermon, also. But why should we care that he's heard a sermon or how he personally responded to it? Church is private, religion must have no place in our electoral process, as it was excluded by the Founding Fathers, who had fled religious persecution and specified, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

It's sort of a paradox that Jeremiah Wright disappeared as soon as he became famous.

If he gave a few interviews, maybe he could answer some specific questions that the mainstream media and the blogs have somehow forgotten to ask Barack Obama.

What did Barack Obama know about the "God damn America!" sermon and when did he know it?
