degley: Rev Wright's knowledge of both Christianity and world (including American) history are extensive, well documented (his doctorate in religion is from the U of Chgo), and not in question.
Whether or not you AGREE with "liberal" vs "conservative" perspectives may be another issue. Not everyone (believers & non-believers included) agree/or are willing to accept the Word as delivered from the pulpit.
Das: No one calls Rev Wright or Obama a "messiah" except those who don't like them.

JOHN McCAIN: DIFFERENT FROM BUSH AND OBAMA
When John McCain becomes President, he will propose a one-year spending freeze to evaluate Government programs. McCain believes that outside of essential military and veterans programs, there should be a one-year pause in discretionary spending growth that should be used for a top-to-bottom review of the effectiveness of federal programs. McCain will be looking for new ways of cutting spending and balancing America's federal budget and deficit.

9/11 was hilarious. So what if a bunch of people died, I don't give a shit. Once I saw people jumping out of the twin towers I couldn't stop laughing. Must of been fun roasting to death in the towers, only to die an agonizing death. Comical. All the people who may have lost family in the twin tower attack, I laugh at your pain and sadness. Better them than me.

I do not question his education. Many who are well grounded or mistaken are educated and have the resume to support their qualifications. Rev. Wright is intellegent but mistaken. His world view guides his theology and not the other way around. His statments begin with the proposition that America and the "white man" is the original sin in the world. Forgive me for the brevity but I feel Ravi Zackarias has a better understanding for this country and what we are at war with currently.

degley: You miss the point. I was responding to your initial comment that this man "knew nothing of Christianity or American history."
Please remember, this was not a political speech to the world, but a SERMON, addressing a SPECIFIC TOPIC, to his PREDOMINANTLY BLACK "audience."
You're also beginning to sound like those posters who seem to insist that the centerpiece of his weekly sermons is "the white man." YOU are mistaken. He preaches broader and deeper than that!

Please show me where he said that? In fact, I can point out to you in his other sermon where he said before the white man was oppressing in the world, the black man oppressed too. In fact, he said turn to your neighbor and say all oppressors aren't white. Kind of shoots that theory out of the air. While we are on the subject, his statements about history are indeed accurate.
Oh that means he ...( 1 day ago by Ryooken)
Oh that means he will shut down the government. He will refuse to fund all the enforcement that the American people need but don't know about until something goes wrong and he will already overburden the agencies that are stretched too thin already trying to enforce safety of the American people without adequate resources. Yes, indeed that's very smart. Well guys that means no safety for you unless you are in Iraq, hey but you don't have to be safe where you work and live.

~Two famous quotes by Michelle Obama~
"America is a downright mean Country"
"For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my Country"
...Sure Michelle, we understand. But could your anti American views have had anything to do with you and Barack's longtime friendship with "Bill Ayers" who bombed more than 30 U.S. Buildings inc luding the U.S. Capitol and Pentagon during his days as a terrorist leader? Might your views have had anything to do with past conversations with Bill Ayers?

MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin Democrats on Friday ousted a delegate to their national convention for saying she would vote for Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain in November.
Embarrassed by a defection in their ranks, the Wisconsin Democratic Party's administrative committee voted 23 -0 to strip Debra Bartoshevich of her status as a delegate to the Denver convention next month.
