i'm not defending him, i'm asking for a broader picture. you say he has a history, then it should be easy for you to post some of those quotes along with when he said them to establish that history.
either way i don't think i'll be voting for wright this november. of course obama has said he goes to church to worship god and not his pastor, also we have to ask what kind of man is wright when he's not on stage, maybe he is a decent person who has been a good friend to obama. can you say you don't have any liberal friends who sometimes say things that you disagree with strongly but you ultimately still call them a friend? obama has never sought wright's endorsment and has never linked what wright says to his campaign's message. i find it more troubling that mccain (who's thread this actually is) sought out fallwell's endorsment after fallwell said the many many stupid things that have caused controversy over the years.

Bow ties are coool.
