Let's see here...we live in a nation that is supposed to FOSTER Freedom Of Religion...while Conservative Talk Radio jumps Barack Obama over HIS minister's words and actions...Yep!....Sounds like a set up to me! :!:
Hitler did the same...Attacked the Jews...and the ONLY way you could stay ALIVE in Nazi Germany was by denouncing your very religion...Now Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck and the rest are basically FORCING Senator Obama to DENOUNCE his own RELIGION...OR ELSE!...(Face Political Death)... :dripple:
You know what? This nation actually ALLOWS the Satanic Church to exist & worship on our soil...Do I like that as a Christian?...NO!...Do I have to live with it? YES I DO!...Why? Because OUR FOUNDING FATHERS SET OUR GOVERNMENT UP WITH FREEDOM OF RELIGION!...We can worship ANY Religion!...NOT ANY RELIGION THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE RIGHT WING ECHO CHAMBER!
Now Beck, Limbarf and Co. want to compare Jeremiah Wright to Don Imus...That is an apples vs. oranges comparison...Jeremiah Wright is making his comments in HIS CHURCH in a nation that is supposed to RESPECT FREEDOM OF RELIGION! We even tolerate Moslem Mosques in this nation because AMERICANS are supposed to be FREE to WORSHIP however they CHOOSE! Wright's quotes are taken from a CD that HE MARKETS PRIVATELY FOR HIS CHURCH'S OWN PROFIT & GAIN!...Now Remember the KEY WORD HERE IS PRIVATE!
Don Imus made his remarks on the PUBLIC AIRWAVES...as do Limbarf, Hannity, Beck & Co....THAT means YOU DO NOT OWN THE FREQUENCIES YOU ARE USING TO LIE ABOUT THOSE YOU DO NOT LIKE!...The arguement that we can 'turn it off or switch channels' doesn't HOLD WATER...and here's why...THOSE FREQUENCIES BELONG TO ME AND THE REST OF THE PUBLIC...SO WHY SHOULD I LET THESE NEOCON PUNDITS USE MY PROPERTY AS THEY SEE FIT? :?:
All I want is FAIRNESS on THE PUBLIC AIRWAVES!...What these Violin Players are really afraid of is giving EQUAL TIME to those individuals THEY actively LIE about on a DAILY BASIS! THAT is WHY THEY do NOT WANT a RE-INSTATEMENT of THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE! :mad:
But if I were Barack Obama...I would not be denouncing my Religion...Instead I would tell these mud-slingers that THIS NATION ALLOWS FREEDOM OF RELIGION!...I might NOT like what YOUR MINISTER SAYS EITHER!...But YOU have a RIGHT to SIT and LISTEN TO HIM OR HER EVERY WORSHIP DAY!...Case CLOSED! :coolwink:
Please link this thread where conservatives and neocon echo chamber enthusiasts can see it!... ;) ...AND LET BARACK OBAMA KNOW THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY AND HE IS ALLOWED TO WORSHIP WHERE HE CHOOSES! AND LISTEN TO ANY MINISTER HE FEELS LIKE LISTENING TO! :good:
Interestingly, Obama has the sympathy and understanding of an unlikely source:

"You can't hold the candidate responsible for everything that people around him may say or do," Huckabee says. "It's interesting to me that there are some people on the left who are having to be very uncomfortable with what ... Wright said, when they all were all over a Jerry Falwell, or anyone on the right who said things that they found very awkward and uncomfortable, years ago. Many times those were statements lifted out of the context of a larger sermon...(i.e. such as the 'cherry picking' Rove and his Radio HIT SQUAD looooves to use!)... Sermons, after all, are rarely written word for word by pastors like Rev. Wright, who are delivering them extemporaneously, and caught up in the emotion of the moment. There are things that sometimes get said, that if you put them on paper and looked at them in print, you'd say 'Well, I didn't mean to say it quite like that.'"
Later, he defended Wright's anger, too:
"As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say 'That's a terrible statement!' ... I grew up in a very segregated South. And I think that you have to cut some slack -- and I'm gonna be probably the only conservative in America who's gonna say something like this, but I'm just tellin' you -- we've gotta cut some slack to people who grew up being called names..."
And THAT is why the Neocons KNEW they had to BLAST Huckabee out of the water...
According to Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck...Obama is a Black Panther...in league with groups that want to destroy our nation...and is a Muslim relative of HUSSEIN!
Rev Wright is WRONG...but it is OK for Pat Robertson to get on the PUBLIC AIRWAVES and call for the ASSASSINATION of Hugo Chavez...OH THAT IS JUST DUCKY ISN'T IT?
My cousin told me today she doesn't KNOW if she could VOTE for Obama because of all this AFTER the FACT smearing perfectly PLANNED by Rove to be HIT on by the Echo Chamber until the 'slackers' in the MSM could do anything! Hillary Clinton WANTED to bring forth these 'skeletons' BEFORE SUPER TUESDAY...but Rove and his Neocon Radio Brainwash Factory didn't WANT that...so THEY called her a "RACE BAITER"...then when Obama all but CLINCHES the Democratic Nomination...THEY START SLINGING THAT MUD!
They did the SAME THING to Howard Dean in 2004 where they all but had him in a Cossack's costume dancing outside of the Kremlin!
My cousin says she isn't that much into politics...she says she won't vote for Obama...doesn't TRUST McCain...and even though she preferred Clinton was AFRAID to admit it because she KNOWS the Good Ol' Boys do NOT want a WOMAN in the Oval Office!...But then she told me this...IF AL GORE WOULD HAVE RUN SHE WOULD HAVE FELT SAFE VOTING FOR HIM! :!: (And she just didn't say THAT to make me FEEL GOOD!)
Millions of VOTERS who do NOT engage in Politics probably FEEL the SAME WAY!...AL GORE WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU?

No problem Paraclete, and I understand what you mean!
