the only major news site with it as the main story on their front page
I'm starting to worry that as this viscious primary battle continues, it only helps McCain.
pretty bad scene, the guy is a little too angry and obama is a little too close

I was an Obama supporter until this morning when I saw all of this.
I will not vote for a man whose pastor for 20 years, who married him, and baptized his kids acts like this.
Who knows what Obama has in the back of his mind, and how much anti-american hatred the Obamas have.
I was ready for change, I had hope...
and now its all gone because Barack Obama is no better than Clinton.
SHAME ON YOU OBAMA
God Damn America
How bout God Damn you asshole.[/b]

Don't tell us this is the Church in which Barack an Michelle got married in?! He got title 'Audacity of Hope' from this "priest of Hate"! Incredible! This "hatemonger Priest" is the OBAMAS' SPIRITUAL ADVISOR?!!!!! [/b]
and on and on...
Fuck.
Hmmmm...can someone please compile a list of insane things said/done by "religious leaders" backing McCain and any other Republican candidate of the last 30 years???
And yet....
Um, yeah, they are...
i don't get your pessimism. what is the basis? i'm a former hillary supporter, and i'd still bet my house (if i owned one) that obama takes the primary (he already has) and the election almost as easily.
Bullseye. It taps directly into fear...and guilt.
White folks in this country aren't really ready for change unless is means not having to deal with the injustices and frustrations felt by Black folks for over 300 years.
yeah, I took the racist shit out of my quote because it's unnecessary and they're all over youtube in general.
I think dropping this story was strategic and could do some serious harm to his campaign.
I agree. I think that his candidacy is going to bring the hardcore wingnuts out in force, but in the end they'll be left taking unused confetti out to the dumpster behind McCain headquarters.
Exactly. It's not like what the he's saying is crazy, but it's not the smartest thing if he wants to help Obama. Average white HEADZ AINT READY.
so your saying that Hillary's campaign is behind this? abc news ran the story. they are as right wing as it gets. abc's sirius talk station is all limbaugh type shows.
Mccain's people also wrote an op-ed in the wall street journal about it.
comeon. hillary has taken enough hits this week for what other people have said.
This is one thing that really doesn't have her fingerprints on it. It's being pushed hard by the hard, hard, HARD right types.
Who are you, and what have you done with KVH?
Nah, I'm inclined to agree, McCain's people are already down playing it. They do not want religious leaders comments to become the focus. I think a lot of people susceptible to this kind of thing were probably never gonna vote for Obama anyway, although it'll be interesting to see if this effects his support among independents and moderate republicans.
Unfortunately, I think its impact will ultimately be determined by how long the media rides it for. If KVH is right, and he does make it through the primaries, just be glad this came out now....
Not that I don't agree with what this man says 1000%...
I think this is a lot for Hilary/Obama fence-riders to swallow and that's because they probably can't identify (at all) with what Wright said in his sermons (however few or many that is).
Other cultures who have had to walk the road of the Black Experience here would be saying "God Damn America," too. There should be no debate about that.
