He’s done.

If you believe that everything Wright said is true then that is in conflict with what Obama believes. So why do you support him?

Also, find out what fascist means before using it idiot.

Everything Rev. Wright said in those sermon excerpts is true. The neo-facist tone of this website is ample evidence thereof. Maybe if you folks stop hating just a bit your minds will actually start working. Barack Obama is America’s best hope. He will win in November. Believe it.

[...] Senator Obama, Do Words Matter? (by Larry Johnson at No Quarter) [Jeremiah] Wright’s words matter. Wright’s words express a view of history and a view of society that every member of his congregation understood. Obama will struggle in the coming days to insist he knew nothing about a man he calls Uncle. But Uncle Jeremiah is not some crazy relative living in an attic. He has been a leader in Africentric Liberation theology, a religious vision that promotes racial division and hatred. I guess Senator Obama is truly audacious because he apparently believes that America will not believe the recorded words of Uncle Jeremiah. [...]

andre’wilson -

I used that lying eyes reference a while ago and now here I am again agreeing with you for using it re: another major credibiltiy/integrity problem with candidate Obama.

Add that to the lies he keeps getting caught in re: Tony and Rita Rezko and it’s a miracle that he got this far in politics.

Last week it was Goolsby with NAFTAGATE…

Next up: Auchi & Alsamare!

Thank you, this looks interesting, I will read it.

What were her opinions on how torture affected the greater governmental infrastructure?

Did the author analyze this aspect, or was it focused solely on the greater cultural effects?

Either way, looks like a good read…

This Wikipedia article on liberation theology has many cross and library references. I note that American LTs that I know of do not advocate violence at all. Among LT's finer hours was during the dirty war in Argentina, when its adherents, including at least one rabbi, were among the few to take a public stand against the military dictatorship.

You can read more about James Cone and hear him yourself on podcasts from Bill Moyers Journal.
