You are welcome to dispel the combined media and personal verbal records of witnesses to the rhetoric of Rev. Wright throughout his tenure. Apparently Barak Obama has acknowledged his mentor's behavior and was compelled to deliver today's speech. It is no longer a matter of proof, it's a matter of how he handles the situation now. I think he came up a little short. It's probably not too late for his candidacy, but some damage is done.

Is every thought you utter, or key on TFP, a complete original thought? If like-minded people express themselves similarly regarding specific issues, it happens. If something I say sounds close to a sentiment by Bill O'Rielly, maybe he plagiarized me?
Or maybe some things are so excruciatingly obvious that reasonable people arrive to very similar conclusions. I can say that I did not see Bill O'Rielly on this, but I can't say that I've not heard opinions on this issue expressed in similar ways.

Who says that hasn't happened? Anyone breathing has more than likely experienced similar relationships. What's that got to do what I've been saying? You can still love someone in spite of their misgivings. There are many choices we have in dealing with these relationships. IMO, Barak Obama shows immaturity in his poor political judgment. I never said Sen. Obama was a bad person. I also said early in this thread that he will most likely win the nomination. Hopefully both Obama and Rev. Wright have learned from their mistakes and will now take full responsibility. It's never too late for someone to redeem themselves honestly and come out stronger for it.
