Growing up I heard my father and uncle discussing Jews, blacks and many people in terms I do not agree with today. If I acknowledge the fact the statements were made and that I do not agree with them- am I throwing either of them under a bus?

Did he mention how she said racist things and went into detail with her, yet with Rev. Wright did he go into the same amount of detail?
I addressed it above.

Your question is a rhetorical one designed specifically to call into question Obama's moral character, something you have been unable to do outside of stating that because he's friends with a nutjob he is himself a nutjob. Be honest, you weren't looking for an answer to that question. You were trying to state that Obama isn't spiritual and his inclusion of this advisor is more empty posturing to appease the black vote. This cannot be proven or disproven. It is an empty, circular red herring designed to self-confirm your already conclusive belief (or lack thereof) in Obama.

How dare you tell me why I asked a question. You are jumping to conclusions on it. To me, my asking if he was using the church to further his image and help him politically is a valid question, especially now. It is not meant to damage his character it is a legitimate question I have.
It's the same as asking why does McCain crossover the aisle so much, does he do it out of belief or to further his political career? Why does Hilary use Clinton more and the Rodham is almost rarely heard? Each candidate has questions on their character and it is our duty as voters to find the answers, at least to me it is.
It may not meet your standards and you may not wish to answer it or seek the answer yourself, but don't you dare tell me why I asked it.
BTW I accept your apology for the personal attack.
