IMHO the worst of Wright's stuff was the AIDS invented by the government ridiculousness, which Obietom did not address and I do not see how context is an issue there--if he said it sincerely in a sermon, he is at best a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist (although in my book that is not an automatic disqualifier from being a preacher).  That said, I can't dispute that Clinton's behavior is no better than that of a Republican.

no more ridiculous than white Pastor Rod Parsley, McCain's spiritual advisor, who preached only 9 months ago to a predominantly white audience, with blacks, that the government's grant (of taxpayers' dollars) to Planned Parenthood is contributing to, and committing genocide of blacks. This clip is part of a political ad by RightWingWatch.org for the super Tuesday vote.

so tell me, if Wright preached that?

and btw, the sourcing on the aids conspiracy is in a reference book on viruses. The book was written by a white doctor, MOPH, Ph.D,MD, a Harvard graduate, whose sourcing is found in tapes at medical libraries. I do recall in the late 1970s early 80s watching CBS evening news when experts offered that HIV virus..."don't worry about Africa, they're too many Africans anyway"  - that's a verbatum quote that I'll take with me when the grim reaper comes this way.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

Black history has demonstrated that our govt has not necessarily dealt its black citizens fairly

After Tuskegee, reason would discourage blind faith.
