You easily pass over several issues that Pastor Wright has tried to address (not the way you or I would) with respect to equality of opportunity and equal justice under the law.

As a child my family belonged to a congregation whose sexton was a person of color. He frequently sat in a chair at the top the the stairs to the basement (but on a lower level). One Sunday he moved his chair up into the overflow area. He was asked to move out of the auditorium and back onto the stairs.

We need to "sit down and reason together" rather than tossing mud back and forth.

Growing up in the South I saw "White only" "Colored only" rest rooms, water fountains, and other public facilities. Are you inplying the there is a god who has blessed such parts of America.

There are mant parts of our nation's history that will never be blessed by GOD (Forgiven but not blessed).

This begins with the question. "Why Now?"

And we know the answer:

It is needed as ammunition that it can be distorted, disseminated, and destroy a candidate.

The media loves to report this "bovine droppings." Many of the reporters fail to get the denomination correct - which should indicate that the "news" is not that well researched.

The one video that the media shows time after time was Christmas time. My my - makes one wonder why it is new news!?

Interesting observation. When I watch Fox News at the Y when on the treadmill, I feel their scripts are straight out of the RNC. They sure don't like Obama and are delighted to tell you that! All opinion and no news.

Thanks! Ohlberman hit the nail on the head. I was very disappointed in the remarks by Ferraro. Even more disappointed when she stood by them.

Much earlier this season Ralph Nader commented in a debate that the Democrats would once again help to elect a bad Republican.

The DNC leadership has demonstrated its determination to do so. Unfortunately there is no way to put the spilled milk back in the bottle.

Instead of thwarting Democrats it should be helping. What Has the DNC done to bring the light of truth to the issues at hand?

After McCain is elected we need to clean house and install people who want to help the USA and not build their personal empires.
