I am getting a little sick of people getting on Obama about his priest. Again religion and politics do not and can not be mixed. What his priest said has probably been taken out of context. How many have sat through Barack Obama's full Sunday service with Reverend Wright? How many have heard any more of his Reverends comments than that 4 second sound bite of him hating America?

Is it possible to be patriotic and hate where America is going or has ended up? I think it is. I hate where this country has been headed since George W. Bush took office but it doesn't mean I hate the country. Maybe Reverend Wright did mean it the other way, maybe he didn't, none of us can know what he said or meant to say unless we were there to take it in context.

What perplexes me is how the right wingers and conservatives can go after Obama and his priest when they have the likes of Pat Robertson and have in the past before he thankfully died Jerry Falwell in their corner. They say they preach the Bible and all this yet they are anti gay and full of hate of anyone who doesn't see the world as their Christian Baptist congregations see it. So the Repulicans should can it and move on to a winable issue if there is one for them.

Falwell always backed Bush but I didn't hear anyone asking for Bush to renounce him or disown him. Fawell was the biggest racist and anti gay religious nut job of them all. Pat Robertson isn't much better only he is a little more polite about his anti gay statements but trust me he makes them.

So before anyone goes after Barack on the Republican side, you better think of the religious whack jobs you have supporting your candidates, And above all else, how many can realistically say that they have ever since this campaign has started heard Barack Obama say one negative thing about his country? Thats what I thought.
