I am baffled why he keeps grabbing attention for himself. It can only hurt Obama. Funny how he's ambivalent to his own accent.
P.S. Funny title

I HATE Reverend Wright. I hate him from the bottom of my heart.

Wright Says Criticism Is Attack on Black Church
By JOHN HOLUSHA
Published: April 29, 2008
Attacks on him are really attacks on the black church, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. said in a speech to the National Press Club in Washington on Monday, in which he mounted a spirited defense of views and sermons that have become an issue in the presidential campaign because Senator Barack Obama attended his church for many years.

I just cannot tolerate how someone would make fun of JFK's patriotism. I really hope he dies. I hope the man dies right now.

Just watched the end of the youtube video... Wright is racist. No ifs and or buts about it. |

I agree with everything you said about Wright, BUT, he simply was not making fun of JFK's patriotism. |

I really see this exploding in Obama's face even worse than the original issue if he doesn't disown Wright.
JFK is practically the patron saint of Democrats these days.

I haven't followed the issue to closely but i haven't heard Obama really distance himself from the good Rev.
I could be wrong though.

Heh. Am I the only one who hears some traces of Robin Williams in the Reverend's white person impression?

Insulting Kennedy should be a cardinal sin... and nobody makes fun of people because of their accents, it's only when they use poor grammar! I've never heard anyone, black or white, insulted for his accent...
And yeah, this is really hurting Obama. I obviously don't think Obama agrees with Wright, but to not distance himself more than he did (which wasn't much at all) is really unacceptable.
