As Paul Harvey would say, "The rest of the story"

I know that those that were looking to discredit Obama will not even read it. However only the informed can make an informed decision about anything. Everyone else is just comfortable in their own preconcieved notions and will never grow as a person anyway.

Update:

asianman, I am not counting on AC for anything. I'm counting on the American people to do their own research and not be led by the right-wing media with an agenda. Darn that's even more hopeless!

Update 2:

boromir03, What's un-American about pointing out her flaws. She can only be perfected by pointing out the wrong and comdemning it to change her ways. Those who say it's never appropriate to criticize the government will wind up with no rights at all. That would explain Bush's desicration of the Bill of Rights without people taking up arms.

Update 3:

jenny kim, and that is because....?

Update 4:

East Coaster, I guess we live in a world where people will always pluck 1 or 2 lines from a whole body and miss the overall point. Comprehending an overall message is a lost art. maybe that's why We are falling behind the rest of the world in education.

Update 5:

wheeler100, I did not say that I agree with everything that he said either. My point is the stitched together video that has been replayed endlessly is not the whole of the statements made. And while you may not agree with what he said, taken in context, he was not bad mouthing the country so much as the government and it's policies. Last I checked this is America, where we are free to do that.

    Good luck

    Republicans can't risk admiting any mistake, I think it makes their head implode.

    I read both pages entirely.

    Am I allowed to make an informed decision that is different than yours?

    When you say, "Everyone else is just comfortable in their own preconcieved notions and will never grow as a person anyway." does that mean anyone that does not agree with you and Rev. Wright.

    It seems to me that if you read those sermons you will discover that this preacher uses his pulpit to blame his country, put down certain politicians, and support others. There seems to be an anger and a bitterness against America in his speech. Although I do agree with some of the things he said, in general I think his understanding of history and human nature is off base. He has several hundred people who follow him and I think he was using his speeches to make them angry at America and blame America for all their problems.

    I read it and I don't understand why Obama would want it to get air time.

    It is full of PARANOID delusions.

    He attacks Colin Powell, Condi"skeezer" Rice, Tiger "Cablanasian hips" woods.

    He accuses the government of planned racism and goes on to defend it.

    After reading this I wouldn't vote for Obama if he paid me.

    I read the two articles that you linked.

    My opinion of Rev. Wright, which was low before, is even lower now.
