"B. Obama took his wife and children and went to the UCC Trinity church of "GOD Damn America" for twenty years. He liked that church so much he donated over 20, 000 dollars to it in 2006. I cannot decide whether he or O. bin Laden loves America more. I think that church is a black liberation theology madrassa. BvT "

I keep reading this here; then googled "Reverend Wright God Damn America" and read for half an hour or so. Finally found the text of the sermon from which this quote is taken, with context.

First, I don't think that we need political opinion or sniping here, this ain't the place.
Second, unless the whole sermon, or at least a lot of it, is printed; this or any quote is taken OUT OF CONTEXT and isn't understood completely or well by the reader.
Third, constant repitition in furtherance of a political goal, like this, like the Swift Boat Veterans (where are they today?), like the "Willy Horton Extravaganza" seems a uniquely conservative method of talking down to the electorate.
Now the Baron has every right to think or say what he wants, within legal (Fire!!) limits; even to telling what is effectively somewhat less than the truth. Not, however, without criticism.
First, I don't think that we need political opinion or sniping here, this ain't the place.

This is the forum for paper patching of cast bullets....not for your political opinions. I, for one, would appreciate not having to see this sort of junk on forums where it doesn't belong. If you have a problem with Mr. Obama, fine, whatever. I for one don't want to hear about it - especially not here. OK ?

these threads will continue to be moved to humor and off topic. there is a forum set aside for these discussions and they do not belong in paper patching. please adhere to the rules.....
