One doesn't have to defend Wright's speech or anything about Wright to support Obama.

And yet Obamaites continue to do it. You should tell the liberals who keep telling us:

- we should understand Wright's claim the AIDS virus is a USA of KKKA plot is reasonable because of the Tuskegee experiment

- Obama's church is the moral equivalent of the Aryan Nations

- not loving America, even hating it, is no big deal.

;>)

Obama has condemned Wright's inflammatory remarks

And liberals should condemn Wright's hate speech as well.

and has indicated that the main thing he got out of the church in question was your normal Sunday "help thy neighbor" service.

When did he say that? He said he heard lots of things from Wright he disagreed vehemently with. But he couldn't break with Wright because he's a "crazy uncle" who's as important to him as the grandmother who raised him.

If you want to use Wright's inflammatory speech to indicate we shouldn't vote for Obama for President, you must somehow tie Wright's sermons to Obama.

Really? How about if I quote liberals comparing the church Obama belonged to for 20 years and is raising his children in to the Aryan Nations? How about if I question why he'd expose his young children to a hate-filled congregation that leaped to its feet to cheer "God damn America, God damn America, God damn America" shouted from the pulpit?

Obama has said he thinks the inflammatory sermons are wrong

Yes, he has.

, and he has indicated his takeaway from the church (and therefore from Wright) was "help thy neighbor".

You're putting words in his mouth there.

Until we find a tape of Obama yelling "Say it! God damn white man!" himself, the guilt by association approach just doesn't hold water.

I don't think Obama has ever yelled this - just the folks he chose to sit beside in church.

So go ahead and prove Obama wrong if you think he's lying

I think liberals are effectively calling Obama a liar when they defend the statements he condemned.

Personally, I haven't disputed the truth of anything Obama has said. I believe Obama when he says he can't disassociate himself with Wright and his congregation because they're as close to him as the grandmother who raised him. I do think thats kind of sick though. It suggests the demagogue Wright is a substitute father figure for Obama.
