supermacist church but one must continue to be a member

Obama's pastor of 20 years is nothing more than "imperfect," as Obama
sees it. And so, "I can no more disown him than I can disown the black
community." He won't quit this church where hate is spewed, and he
doesn't explain why over all the years he has never tried to
straighten Wright out.
The rest of Obama's speech was spent explaining and rationalizing hate
such as Wright's rather than denouncing it. Wright's words "reflect
the complexities of race in this country that we've never really
worked through," the result of which has been "a cycle of violence,
blight and neglect" still haunting America.
The solutions? Expanded government for one, of course. But while Obama
concedes that "the erosion of black families" is "a problem that
welfare policies for many years may have worsened," he fails to
understand what "Wealth and Poverty" author George Gilder knew back in
1981:
Election '08: Rather than break ties with his demagogic, anti-American
pastor, Barack Obama used a speech on race to excuse his behavior and
sweep the controversy under the rug. Passing the buck is not very
presidential.
This is a man who believes the U.S. government formulated the HIV
virus to commit genocide against blacks and that it is also
responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Does the ‘Obama Ignorance Excuse’ Pass the Smell Test?
It is extremely hard—if not impossible—to believe that any Republican
presidential candidates would get away with having been 20-year
members of a racist, anti-Semitic, anti-USA and race-baiting church
without the mainstream media destroying them. But, Barack Obama is a
Democrat and the first black candidate for president of the United
States. Therefore, telling the truth about him, if said truth might
damage him, is verboten—or must at least be minimized.
Since the Conservative press first exposed Senior Pastor Jeremiah
Wright’s hate-speech sermons from the pulpit of Trinity United Church
of Christ—Obama’s church for over 20 years—and YouTube began running
the videos of said sermons (also available for sale), Obama has tried
several methods of extricating himself from his association with the
pastor:
• First, Obama claimed that he was not familiar with Pastor Wright’s
hate sermons. Note: In order to buy this excuse from a man who has
called Wright his “spiritual adviser”, requested that Wright marry him
and his wife Michelle and allowed Wright to baptize his children one
has to suspend belief in all things related to reality and everything
that even smack of sanity.
