This story is HUGE (funny).
You got all the attackes from us Christian Conservatives on Obama about a select few sermons that Obama was not in attendance (as far as I know) and thats a MAKE OR BREAK issue for us Christian Conservatives ... (or so we say).
But then you got John McCain pleading, pleading, pleading over a series of months to get an endorsement from John Hagee ... who is an 'agent of divisiveness'.
And we Christian Conservatives are doin our best pretzel logic excercises to explain how Obamas ASSOCIATION is much worse than McCain's ASSOCIATION.
The simple fact is, Christian Conservatives simply express 'Rigid Conservatism' ... NOT Christianity.
I believe we Christian Conservatives should just admit it.
Christian Conservatives defines a POLITICAL preference ... one of intolerance for diversity.
Thats why Christian Conservatives jumped on the Wright ASSOCIATION. We needed an EXCUSE to not vote for a black man.
See how we work it?

This is sad, the state of our nation. Where is the TV coverage on this? It's the equivalent of Rev Wrights speech if not more damning that his but it barley made the news just a passing mention on fox and CNN. The double standards are palpable in this country when it comes to reporting.
Truth it it is racist or borderline so!

Actually, I get all my news from my heart.
I do have an antenae out that seems to pick up info from the ether.
Then I route it through my heart - which filters out all the hypocrisy, hyperbole, BS ... and right wing corporate spin from mainstream media.
But that filter gets filled pretty quickly these days.
Beginin bout 30 years ago - with the rise of Newt Gingrich, Jerry Falwell, and NeoConservatism - Ive had change out the hypocrisy/BS filter nearly EVERY DAY!
Whereas prior to say 1978, I dint change the hypocrisy/BS filter but once a month.

I know about all of this. They don't worry me none, the only thing i worry about is the people because the media is nothing without the people. They are starting to get that message. because as much as they held off on telling us that hill didn't win TX or her margin in PA was 9% which they choose to call points. The people went out the next week and voted. They like the Republicans are not in control of the American people anymore!

Shame on you for watching FOX Black! I stated that they did talk about it a lot, when the other poster said he hadn't seen it at all on CNN,,,,, but though what I said was correct you had to find a way to spin it as you claim FOX did,,,, Dat's funny

Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking, since Donahue has accepted Hagee's apology and is ready for them to kiss and make up, they have decided to join forces because they don't want that "black" guy to get into the "white" house.
Could be reaching here, but I smell a rat and I think that's the bottom line for some folks.

Just like a 'progressive' to always use 'race' and assume that all those that disagree with a man of color have to be racists.

So now they can get the Catholics to focus on the real issue: How much Rev. Wright is a threat..
This country is one giant television commercial that never ends.
Americans are constantly distracted by the irrelevant in order to forget the relevance of their vote.

Are we distracted or are we force fed distractions by those who don't want us to think about serious matters?
Obama vs. The Israel Lobby
Religion â;; Poor Obama. No matter how much he grovels to the Israel lobby, they won't take yes for an answer. The Lobby has been after him for months, trying to dig up "evidence" that he is necessarily an enemy of Israel. The best they could come up with so far were the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's jeremiads, which didn't have much of an effect.

Finding Obama guilty of insufficient devotion to Israel
Do No Evil â;; Right-wing zionists attack Obama on the premise that failure to love Israel with enough passion or to be sufficiently devoted to its interests ought to disqualify -- presumably since, the Founders intended the first obligation of the US President to be to preserve Israel's security, just as George Washington said in his farewell address:

Keep in mind that Hagee is a "christian-zionist" and leader of their most prominent organization - Christians United for Israel. Palestinian christians have been complaining about Hagee for many years. Do you suppose that those christians will also get an apology from Hagee?
Challenging Christian Zionism
The Challenge Of Christian Zionism
The movement of Christian Zionism provides a challenge and an embarrassment to Palestinian Christians at a number of crucial levels, requiring us to address this issue theologically, politically, and existentially. It raises for us a number of issues that must be addressed.

First and foremost are the theological issues: What kind
of God does Christianity teach and what kind of God do we believe in? Is God a tribal, territorially-based God, partial to the tribe of the Hebrews and interested in granting them a particular piece of land in Palestine to be their eternal birthright regardless of the rights of its indigenous inhabitants?? Is God the Lord of Hosts, glorying in the military exploits of his people, andwrathful and vengeful towards their enemies, assuring them of military victory (regardless of their own spiritual state of godliness or lack thereof )? Or is God the sacrificial God who loves the whole world, and who, as revealed to us in Christ, transcends racial and national boundaries, and opens his arms and offers his salvation to Jew and gentile alike, inviting into his universal kingdom
all those who believe in him, granting them the power to be children of God, and inheritors of the promises??....

thank you so much for posting this information. But, be careful, the anti-defamation league considers any criticism of Isreal a work of anti-sem....
And guess who owns AOL, and hence Netscape.....
One ethnic group owns all american media, and has complete control over investigative journalism, the "4th leg" of american democracy. Good for them. No more antisem.. propaganda. But, ask yourself, who benifits from a protracted war in Iraq? Who is fighting Israel's enemies? Who is dying in Iraq and for what purpose. Who is running the propaganda campaign brainwashing the left and right in america? Who profits from the tabloid gossip? Who profits from the war bewteen cons and libs? Who pays O'Reily? Who owns Drug Lamebaugh? Who provides the airtime and profits?

Yes, it is clear that we are subjected to major censorship in america when it comes to zionist crimes against humanity. Our "corporate media" do not tell us that the majority of jews OPPOSE the zioncons in the american government and the zionist ethnic cleansers in israel.
Zionism versus Judaism
Religion â;; Zionists have managed to unforgivably drag judaism's name through the mud for more than 60 years. Zionism might be a racist, supremacist ideology - but Judaism is most definitely not. The more Jews who make this distinction, the better: both for security of their fellow Jews, as well as to end zionist crimes against Palestinians.

Finding Obama guilty of insufficient devotion to Israel
Devotion to Israel is like devotion to evil. Jewish people reject the Right Wing Israelis and they want to live in peace with Muslims and Christians. America will be better of without Israeli, Israel is a liability and not a trustworty friend, of course they will be a good friend as long as America is with them, the moment America refuse to help them then they will start digging the grave for America.

Frankly engineer it is you who needs the psychiatric help. The term "good germans" willing to support nazi crimes against humanity now has to be supplemented with the term "good jews" willing to support zionist crimes against humanity. Fortunately more and more jews world-wide recognize the zionist crimes against humanity and reject them.
Zionism is Dead, What Now?
Religion â;; The irony of history is while Zionists managed to create a nation state in the Middle East Ã;¢â;¬" the majority of Jews simply don't want to be part of a Jewish nation in the Mid-East. Three quarters of a million Israeli Jews have moved abroad. Jews, not Jihadists, have consigned Zionism to the dustbin of history.

Bottom line: We're distracted.
Whether it is a combination of their ability to use it to their advantage, or their knowledge that we are consumed by their best use of distraction, it is the method used by
all whose interests are accomplished by its use.

Of course Obama denounced and disowned the comments of Wright.
Has McCain done like in regards to Hagee's ridiculous remarks not only about Catholics but about New Orleans, Gays, and other human beings? Hagee has called for more war in the middle east to hurry "duh pocalypse" along. Has McCain denounced this idiocy? No.
It seems so many Americans have become so stupid now, you might as well let Hagee and Wright have a celebrity god-guy deathmatch to decide who becomes the POTUS.
