How can you not disown such a racist. McCain, Bush, or Hilary's pastor had said the same racist things except about black people, and she said he/she couldn't disown him anymore than she could disown the white community, youd be up in arms about it.

you'll never admit it here, but inside you know it. even if you didnt realize how biased you are, you have to now. but as i said you won't admit it, but you know, and all of us know....

You'd have him throw Wright under the bus for mere political expediency and to sate some racial score. Obama chose to place Wrights comments in their proper social context while soundly rejecting them.




so you wouldnt be upset if the situation was reversed with hilary, bush or mccain? you would find it acceptable for them to say they couldnt disown their pastor anymore than they could disown the white community? you would find that political dodging?

strange i remeber you wanting a stronger rebuke of Geraldine Ferrara, oh yes she is a white republican woman....
