		<description>I can't say I've ever heard a sermon in a church before, but I was under the impression that pastors say a lot of things in sermons about whatever they believe in, and even if you're in the audience listening that doesn't mean that you condone everything the pastor says. And say it is true that Obama heard Wright say inflammatory things about the black condition in America--the man's entitled to his own opinion, and I don't consider Obama the type of person to challenge someone's deeply held beliefs outright, even if they are racist. 

From what I've found of Rev. Wright's statements, none seem so inflammatory to me that I would leave and protest his words. It's important to have freedom of speech, and while some call what he's doing hatemongering, I think he's simply echoing the beliefs of many in the black community (I don't wish to condone the beliefs that Wright advocates). I have found nothing Wright has said to be so flagrantly racist and anti-American that we would be considered an unusual American citizen. 

I think perhaps we ought to remember that everyone has their own beliefs, and simply tolerating the views of someone else does not mean that you condone them.</description>

		<description>Jan, you're just plain wrong. If you're referencing Bill Kristol's column, it was debunked. If you're referencing something else, provide a link or go away. There's no room for conjecture and hearsay in this debate.</description>

Woah...Bye bye Barack...</description>
