How Many People Have Died Because of What Reverend Wright Said?

The Republicans have us in a war in Iraq that can not be won have sacrificed almost 4000 young Americans and want people focused on something that someone said. John McCain will continue to allow Americans to die in the Middle East instead of getting us out of the war.

Is what someone said really that important of an issue versus the War and the collapse of the US economy or was it brought forward by the Republicans to take the voters focus off these two real issues.

    Typical republican tactic. Distract people from the real issues by -- hey look over there! something SHINY!

    Not sure, how many Blacks murdered Whites since Wright has been spewing his hate? The mentality guys like Wright perpetuate lead to a division in our Races and that division creates an anger that often leads to violent action.

    The entire federal government Republican and Democrat have you in a War and if you think Hillary or Obama is going to get you out, I laugh at you.

    Who can say? Racist white people certainly murdered fueled by their hate. Who's to say if Wrights race hate has not urged someone to go out and kill white people.

    BTW, the Republicans did not get us into a war in Iraq, Saddam Hussein did. Also, it was not all Republicans who signed on for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, many Democrats in Congress voted for both wars.

    I'm glad you aren't one of the professionals assessing the state of the economy, because you are way off.

    I can't believe you Obama supporters think he is REALLY going to withdraw the troops. That is the biggest lie he will tell to get the bleeding hearts to support him. But they say ignorance is bliss. There will always be conflict somewhere. Heck, we have troops all over the world right now, and there are deaths that we never hear about. We just hear about Iraq because that is what gets everyone in an uproar.

    Little Jimmy Walker. He has succumb following an elbow to the cranium from an ardent supporters flailing arms during a hate sermon. Tragic.

  • They're both issues and yeah, what someone says and what the President believes, who ever he or she turns out to be, is very important.

    But good job minimizing the very important issue of racism and hate mongering by a leading candidate.

    Newsflash: the Democrats in Congress authorized military action against Iraq and they have failed to withdraw the troops, so it is just as much their war as it is Bush's and the Republicans' war.

    When people go into the military, they know full well that they may lose their lives in a war. If they don't want to die in a war, then they do not go into the military.

    what a doomsday are you! You cannot compare apples and oranges. We have an all-volunteer draft and every citizen who shows up for their stint in the military knows full well that a war might call them to duty! Our President isn't letting anyone die...a reminder that some of your folks voted for this war, too!

    Democrats promised they would pull the troops out if you gave them a majority in Congress. You voted for them and they got their majority. There are more troops in Iraq now than when the Dems made the promise. Do you think Barack will pull troops out too as he's promised?

    You libs are so damn naive.

    Im sure someone will die somewhere and it will be attributed to "Obama-cide" or "Wright-o-cide"and then the whack jobs will be in a posting frenzy.

    Problem is that no one really knows what Wright's speech(es) incited people to do.
