"Obama's Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11
Obama's Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Has a History of What Even Obama's Campaign Aides Say Is 'Inflammatory Rhetoric'"

headline from abc news site.

So.....this isn't satire. This is real. This story relates some of what Obama's pastor espouses -- the guy who married Barack and Michelle, who baptized their kids and who, it seems has a permanent place in their lives, as Barack certainly isn't going to ditch him and the church he worships in.

A mother lode of fodder for the GOP 527's and Obama will have to go over all his pastor's views one by one and say he rejects this, he denounces that, and this one he rejects AND denounces, and after about 3x rejections or denuciations the viewers are going to think, "Obama's not not like me" or "hmm, he's pretty phony if he claims he rejects so much of what his own pastor says."

The viewers being moderates, swing voters in the middle of Ohio, Idaho and Virginia and Missouri and places like that.

"God Damn America, America to Blame for 9/11" -- in big red letters in a McCain ad.Maybe footage of Obama in church listening raptly?

Think on it.

Awwwwww! Come on! He's no more black than she is a woman. And we don't talk about that, do we? Maybe Obama could make an ad with Hilary's boobs looking really big. Or how about an ad with Hillary serving cookies... to Monica. And Obama hasn't played dirty, has he?
Why, he's so upright he's almost half white. Oh wait, he is half white.

I heard Dori Monson say this almost word for word earlier today.

unPC = Dori Monson?

unPC, you mean hillary supporters are doing exactly now, what republicans will do? use fear, bullying, unidimensional thinking, and the words of someone else close to obama to try and tarnish obama?

Isn't satire supposed to be funny, or at least insightful?

and ill one up it;

If a Pastor and member of the congregation can't disagree on a lot of issues related to politics then doesnt that imply that religious people are sheep. Thats a great message isnt it?

Of course what do you know about religion and the role it plays in people's lives unPC?

Well, at least now that the gloves are off and the knives are out, at least someone's trying to find the Funny.

Now, can we please find a way to disarm the self-destruct mechanism in the Democratic Presidential Campaign...
