Sean Hannity caught Obama in other big lie about his speech today.?

I love the liberal just above that says "the media found a way to bring him down" :-)

First, the left has a virtual monopoly on the media, with a very few exceptions like Fox. Second, all Hannity did was run tape of Obama's OWN WORDS.

"I never heard him say those things...."

"I sat in church and heard him say those things...."

I don't believe that he agrees with Wright about Wrights worst excesses... but the fact is that he flat-out LIED about what HE, PERSONALLY, had heard.

1) Your remembering your facts incorrectly 2) I am giving you a link to the interview so you have the ability to review his whole statement and revise your paragraph.

He says that he never heard THOSE statements from the pews. And he states that he was unfamiliar with them (except for one or two statements he knew about earlier) until fox and 'other' stations began running them. He isn't actually saying that he never heard his pastor say anything racist, crazy or perhaps even emits the same controversial sentiments using different words, but avoids insinuating passivity on his part by characterizing the totality of his church experience as being focused on issues of faith, helping the poor and biblical histories. And implies the ideology the clips (of his pastor sermons) represent, a bitter, racist, irrational, etc., (insert your own description here) point of view, isn't what he experienced at the church and that if these types of statements had been an intrinsic part of the service's message (as he puts it 'tenor' or 'tone'), he would have quit. He also goes on to flesh out his relationship with the pastor, humanizing the man and trying to lessen the damaged image of his pastor. Also Hannity didn't interview him. Correspondent Major Garrett did.

3)Here is the speech today:

Basically, your 'almost word for word' contradiction would ring true if in the first interview he professed he never heard any offensive statements from the pews as he admits that he did in his speech today. He didn't do that. He just said he never heard 'those' statements from the pews. I would say certainly he skirts the issue deftly in the first interview playing semantic games, but ultimately there isn't fangs to your argument. Although I think your probably thinking from a combatively stubborn framework which is fueling your opinions and gives your statement a irrational piquant veneer, this issue IS something he needed to address and clearly refute. It would be really, really... really, really scary to have someone that holds those views as our next president. And he needed to explain the close and influential relationship his pastor held with him in terms that would ease our fear. But so should the other candidate's as well. McCain and Hillary aren't without smelly associates.

In retrospect, he could have handled it better politically by avoiding an association with an outspoken man with controversial (not to mention crazy) views. Obama seems to have very strong feelings for the man. He did, according to Obama, bring Christ into his life. That is a powerful reason to overlook crazy. And whether you believe him, his speech was dynamic, politically brilliant (taking a potentially catastrophic situation and proposing that the horrid ideas aren't a representation of his character, but are instead a negative phenotype of a systemic societal problem that he, in particular, is uniquely gifted to deal with.) and will only ad to his growing aura.

Personally, this association tarnishes him a little in my eyes. But it isn't a killer.

If you want to see if Nobama is lying just read his book!!

Wright in "Dreams of My Father" [Rich Lowry]

Before he ever thought he would have to deploy Clintonesque spin to try to get himself out of a campaign controversy, Barack Obama wrote (an achingly good) memoir. In the book, Obama makes it clear that Wright when he first got to know him was pretty much the same Wright we're getting to know now (the one that Obama is at pains to say is on the verge of retirement). Wright was striking some of the same notes, saying racially venomous things and attacking the bombing of Hiroshima. Note this passage about the first sermon Obama heard from Wright, the source ultimately of the title of Obama's second book and one of the central themes of his presidential campaign:

The title of Reverend Wright’s sermon that morning was “The Audacity of Hope.” He began with a passage from the Book of Samuel—the story of Hannah, who, barren and taunted by her rivals, had wept and shaken in prayer before her God. The story reminded him, he said, of a sermon a fellow pastor had preached at a conference some years before, in which the pastor described going to a museum and being confronted by a painting title Hope.

“The painting depicts a harpist,” Reverend Wright explained, “a woman who at first glance appears to be sitting atop a great mountain. Until you take a closer look and see that the woman is bruised and bloodied, dressed in tattered rags, the harp reduced to a single frayed string. Your eye is then drawn down to the scene below, down to the valley below, where everywhere are the ravages of famine, the drumbeat of war, a world groaning under strife and deprivation.

“It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere…That’s the world! On which hope sits!”

And so it went, a meditation on a fallen world. While the boys next to me doodled on their church bulletin, Reverend Wright spoke of Sharpsville and Hiroshima, the callousness of policy makers in the White House and in the State House. As the sermon unfolded, though, the stories of strife became more prosaic, the pain more immediate. The reverend spoke of the hardship that the congregation would face tomorrow, the pain of those far from the mountaintop, worrying about paying the light bill…

Well I am very disappointed in you too if you believe the media. Obama was ahead so [they] found a way to bring him down.I am still voting for him because he hasn't stooped to the level of Hillary or McCain .If you believe all of what you see on TV and that he is the only one that lies, then you deserve to live in the outcome of the election. It can't get any worse , right ?

There are plenty of lies in this guy.

He uses Christianity to cover the fact that he agrees mostly with the Nation of Islam and talk in broad terms so that no one ever know where you truly stand.

I for one am glad that the truth is slowing seeping out.

There is more to come.

Gotcha! Luckily you only have one vote in November.

Obama clearly states his views on the smear attempts against him. How ignorant could one be to think that another person's views are his! People are only trying to extinguish a winner and if he were not a threat then this much force would not be railed against him.The fact still stands that people of hatred are jealous of Obama's success. In these unjust attempts to bring him down, people chatter about silly things such as his race, looks, and religion. People should stop being so superficial and easily swayed by the media. Attack him on real issues but I am sure that nobody will bring up any real argument against him besides playing the race card and being the superficial people that they are.

Sean Hannity couldn't catch a cold.

He did not say that. He'd never heard the comments on the videotapes.
