You're buying the right-wing spin. What he SAID was "I wasn't there when those sermons that got onto YouTube were given". And that's true, he wasn't. He was out on the campaign trail on those particular days. He never said that he had never heard Wright say controversial things.

But of course you've been against Obama from the beginning.

Cynical much?
At the very least, can you admit that his speech gives us a unique opportunity to address racial issues? Can you get beyond your bias against the man long enough to see the good this speech might have done for the country? Because we're suddenly having a very unique conversation in this country--and by clinging to your Obama-fixated cynicism, you're making SURE that you're not part of it.

Oh My God Please let's not go back there. Please don't be so vain as to think that this thread is about you. Nothing I've said--including things responding to you--is
about you.
Edit: Um... Except, of course, for the one post above that WAS about you, which I agree with roachboy was, at the very least, off-topic.
