What about Rev. Wright Sermons makes you ANGRIER?

Is it the fact that he said so many outrageous things--like the USA releashed AIDS on the Black people. Or that he said "God Damn" America, or that he blames white people for the ills of the world---Or that fact that the PEWS in the Church were filled with people Clapping, and cheering and agreeing with him.

YOU KNOW --the Sermons that OBAMA missed for the last 16 years

    Well put. I was the most angry that he blames white people for everything bad in this world *and* that many black Americans admitted this was typical black church culture.

    Now, if 'white people' wanted to get in the mix, there's a lot of facts that could be said in retaliation to that nonsense that wouldn't make ethnic people feel very good. And that's the problem -- this country has tried very hard for decades, and myself personally, to try to stop racism and promote equality -- while this 'typical black church culture' has been going on.

    I'm done. It's their move to make this a better country in regards to racism.

    And PS: Repeal Affirmative Action

    What makes me angriest is the fact that Wright's comments were taken completely out of context and exploited by the right wing.

    What also makes me angry is the fact that people like you seem to think that Wright is the one running for president and not Obama.

    Then there's the fact that people like you who believe that "patriotism" is blind, unquestioning loyalty and pointing out America's faults somehow constitutes hating the country, and who seem to forget that dissent was what the United States was founded on.

    Or the fact that you can't understand how at least some black Americans might have at least a little grudge against the US government even after a few years.

    All those things make me pretty angry.

    I do like that there are some people on the right who do seem to understand, like, suprisingly, Mike Huckabee, in this MSNBC clip, when he talks about how easy it is for critics to just dismiss Wright's comments as heartless without considering other factors.

    I also like how at least the whole controversy finally proved to some of the right that Obama was not a Muslim, as they have been falsely claiming since he first came into the spotlight.

    I think any crazy ranting and ravings of angry ignorant boobs are just that.

    I am more worried about about the dummies that eat up hateful words and cheer and get all crossed- eyed and in a trance - moving thieir fat smelly bodies back and forth and side to side. While there heads bob back and forth.

    A sight to behold - this is your America of today.

    I liked the simulated sex humping. Reverends should teach all aspects of education to the small children in their congregation . He got quite a few back slaps on that too.

    I don't ever listen to anything any reverend says. They have no credibility in my opinion. They preach about invisible beings in the sky and then you find it unusual when they say other things that are outrageous. Being Religious is a negative mark on any candidate for me.

    Or that God sent Hitler to exterminate the Jews so they can go back to Israel?

    How about when he talked about Muslims being the anti-Christ?

    Oh...sorry...those were two guys McSame sided with. Why aren't you talking about that? Maybe because you're a Con?

    Oh...forgot about Pat Roberson, the "Minister" who prayed for assassinations on Dictators, and stated the Prime Minister of Israel got sick because God was upset with him for try to promote peace with Palestine.

    You seem to forget those, huh?

    Sounds like the average conspiracy theorist to me.

    By the way, good to see desperation on the part of Obama critics, bringing that up again. The NeoCons played their hand too quickly on that. Going to go after his wife now?

    I am not angry at all because I don't go to that church... i could care less... I have better things to be angry about like the mismanagement of this war and the economy.

    what makes me the angriest is people that call a place like that a church.......it's more like a business masquerading as a church........churches are for worship,not rants.
