These are the words of the man who mentored Obama. Is this the beliefs we want our President to follow?

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's "friend and mentor" and a member of Obama's African American Religious Leadership Committee in a 2003 sermon, said blacks should condemn the United States.

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

He also gave a sermon in December COMPARING OBAMA TO JESUS, promoting his candidacy and playing down Clinton.

Oh, no, no. "God damn America"? This from the man Obama calls his spiritual leader. Infuriating that those who would damn America are those who so enjoy the freedom to say things like that.

With this influence, can this man possibly be fit to run our nation?

Update:

2bee, McCain and his wife were not married by and his children christened by John Hagee. He has not for 20 years attended a church ministered by John Hagee. He has never called John Hagee his friend, mentor and spiritual advisor. Not the same thing at all. You do not call your friend and hang with for 20 years, someone whose views you do not respect, believe and try to emulate.

    How come it took so long for everyone to find out about that racist church, those vid's have been on you tube about a month, as long as I have been on QA, that is when I first saw the vid,s!

    There have been quite a few of us who saw the real Obama , we stood by our beliefs, we were called Racists, we got deleted on QA for saying anything about the man.!

    Thank God it finally came to the Light!

    Pastor Wright is a racist lunatic! Anyone that praises him is stupid. The only reason Obama said anything today was that the comments were so over the top he had no choice.

    While Juan "I never supported amnesty" McCain has his warts, he's better than the two socialists!

My opinion nevertheless is my trade and in the event that they (Y/a or liberals) do not agree or do not find it irresistible....they are able to chew me. I had a minimum of nine questions and/or solutions deleted with facets taken for violations for speakme my brain this week. I truthfully had poor facets for such a lot of this week. ha ha in spite of a few "fine" solutions. LEV...you realize in which I stand brother. Give 'em hell Spike. I truthfully watched a man on msnbc in these days apologizing to and justifying the pirates and their crook conduct. I anticipate Obama can be doing the equal earlier than lengthy. Right now he does not also have the heart to mention or do something. The international has been killing every different endlessly...however NOW it is all our fault. Only factor I'm ashamed of is Obaa-maa the pinnacle scapegoat and the liberal sheep who blindly comply with him. He's extra involved approximately dog puppies and pizza than American hostages. What approximately the American journalist in Iran with a view to unavoidably be accomplished. What has he performed or mentioned approximately HER?

    well my mentor is a god-fearing conservative virgin and a damn good surgeon, but i'm not about to believe in a mythical figure or preach terrorism and i still admire her greatly. you can have friends and confidantes and not agree with everything they stand for.

    if i was black, i'd hate america too. despite our supposed civilized demeanor we are still one of the most racist countries in the world.

    would you like to put bans on who presidential candidates can befriend?

    Give me a break, should we hold McCain for what John Hagee says. Like Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran for Israel?

    added Sorry dear, John McCain has done work for John Hagee. Like I said go to youtube and see for yourself. It was there nine months ago, raising money for Christian for Israel so they can have Armageddon. The Jewish people are afraid of Hagee and his members.
