mnealtx 0 #26 June 9, 2008 Quote Quote McCain didn't refer to Hagee as his "spiritual mentor". I think what you're saying here is, "Mccain doesn't take his faith/sprituality seriously enough to seek additional mentoring from his church". Mccain: What an godless asshole! .jim Nope, didn't say that, either - you seem to have a very hard time reading what I've written... time for those trifocals yet?

billvon 3,107 #27 June 9, 2008 >>(Cue the "But Obama's idiot preacher was WORSE WORSE WORSE than >> McCain's idiot preachers!" excuses.) Mike, on cue, replies: >THAT is different - McCain didn't spend the last 20 years attending >Hagee's church. "But THAT'S DIFFERENT! Obama didn't SOLICIT the support of TWO DIFFERENT idiot preachers!" "That's COMPLETELY different! McCain didn't NOD HIS HEAD in time with the music when a hymn was being sung in the same church Wright one preached in!" And so the circle continues. The very same people who have spent the last eight years complaining about Bush Derangement Syndrome start to exhibit ODS less than a week after he wins the primary.

Actually, no... it looks like Obama *did* do exactly that and it's (to a degree) biting him in the ass. QuoteAnd so the circle continues.

billvon 3,107 #35 June 9, 2008 >What part of my post was untrue? >Nice set of double standards you have there, Bill. BOTH candidates have unsavory preachers in their past. In both cases, they called them spiritual guides. All of which means next to nothing - as I've said several times now. In the end it doesn't matter. The fools who obsess over Wright will be countered by the fools who obsess over Hagee and Parsley, thus cancelling each other out. Which is a good thing overall.

kelpdiver 2 #47 June 10, 2008 Quote The caliber of your replies to social issues in no way match the caliber of your technical replies. Obama WILL NOT unite this country. The divisions will end up even more pronounced. How can they get any more pronounced than they will with a guy who is continuing policies that the vast majority oppose (Iraq) or are destroying the economy (the budget/taxes/spending, a subject the man admits he doesn't understand)? The people who make a big deal out of Wright were never going to vote for Obama in the first place. They're hoping that if they scream enough, some undecideds can be fooled.

(Have ANY Presidents had an economic degree?) McCain made the 100 year remark. Obama did not say the lines, Wright did. Kind of a big difference, no? Many Presidential hopeful claim to have a plan for the economy. McCain may be the first to play dumb on the subject in a strategy that may be up with Mondale for poorly delivered.

mnealtx 0 #50 June 10, 2008 QuoteKind of a big difference, no? Looking at it strictly as 'who said what', yes. Given how the Left is so quick to see collusion between Cheney and Halliburton due to past history (using one of several widely used arguments), I feel it is equally valid to bring up the point of past history with Obama and Wright (and Pfleger, for that matter). Politically, I think Obama removing himself from Trinity Church *now* was a bad move - it shows that he's willing to sacrifice anything for political power. These aren't people that he recently met and just found out that they had views that were too extreme for him to be comforatable with - these are people that he has associated with for many years and refers to as "spiritual mentors".Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
