    supporters only choose to see the good side of their candidate. the bad side is of course a by-product of their opponents and can therefore be ignored. the capacity to think rationally and objectively is disappearing in this country. people put personal agendas over logical conclusions.

    Yes..a lot of Americans are dense..after all, Bush is still in office, and some of you voted for him.

    As far as Rev. Wright...they took a good 3 decades of sermons, and that's 3 sermons a day... to make a 30 second sound bite...wow...good job Swiftboaters.

    Yet, we have mcCain attending churches that preach hatred toward groups in the Middle East, with calls for all out war, and McCain says he's proud to have their endorsements, and that damn liberal media doesn't even cover it?!

    Besides... to be racist in this nation, you pretty much have to be a member of the republican party....but psssttt...don't tell! They don't want anyone to know!

    Obama didn't live in Chicago 23 years ago. He's been there about 17 years. Let's try to keep the basics straight, shall we?

    Apparently people aren't as concerned with church as you are. He's ahead of Clinton AND McCain in national polls taken Monday and Tuesday!

    we're not dense. You're not allowed to criticize the Obama Christ. If you do, then they will say you just hate black people. Seriously, this church thing is the first and pretty much only scrutiny he's gotten. I truly believe his supportes expect us all to sit on our hands and say nothing, lest we be branded as a racist Klan member, while he gets coronated president.

    Because that's not the case. Which is why America is ignoring it.

    The pastor was a jerk, granted. Obama--and most of the members of the congregation--don't agree with his views.

    Do you know what a person who labels an entire group based on the actions of a single person? A BIGOT. And most Americans are not bigots.

    Americans like movies, Obama winning the election is movie like and will make them apart of history, they will be very happy. They don't care what the candidate will do for them as long as its a feel good story that he is elected.

    is there electricity in your cave, must not be, because the racist Obama is the talk of the town. Only ignorant liberals who just want to give that impression that they are above race, still support Obama and give him a pass. That is why McCain will be our nest president, you can bank on it. Boo hoo hoo Dem's. PRESIDENT McCain...get used to it.

  • Only his supporters are ignoring it. Most rational people see him for what he is, a white hating ex-crack head who uses a pseudo Church to create a false illusion of being Christian.

    How does America ignore the Clintons repeated lies, shady business deals, and sex scandals. What does that say about the Clintons morals. Nothing left to do but go republican!
