McCain Has a Decision to Make on Jeremiah Wright
In April, John McCain condemned a TV ad released by the North Carolina Republican Party that tied Barack Obama to his former pastor Jeremiah Wright.
The ad, which called Obama "too extreme for North Carolina" because of his long-time association with Wright, drew McCain's ire. "It's not the message of the Republican Party," he said. "It's not the message of my campaign. I've pledged to conduct a respectful campaign." He added that he wanted to "disassociate myself from that kind of campaigning."
Will McCain disassociate himself from his vice presidential choice? Sarah Palin brought up Obama's connection to Wright in the New York Times yesterday. And is the McCain campaign, in its efforts to get nasty, going to run with this topic despite McCain's earlier statements suggesting Wright is off-limits?
Comments
Go ahead, bring up Wright. I'll see you a witchhunting pastor in Wasilla. The damage from Wright has been done, but most people haven't seen the video of Pastor Moothy praying over Palin that she be protected from witches. If Palin mentions this in front of jouranlists, I hope they ask her how she feels about the woman in Kenya that Moothy chased frmo he village in fear of her life.
Hey People,
I think wright may have stayed off limits, if not for the obama people attacking Sarah's kids...!!!
Now all bets are off...
The black KKK pastor will be back front and center, everyone will be reminded that obama sat in the church, with his kids being indoctrinated into the "Hate whitey" cult..!!!
obama is going down...
McCain "08"
Bill...:-)

Palin the pit bull will gleefully spew nonsense to her base about Wright and Ayers. That is her job and her only strength in this campaign.
She is tone deaf and insensitive to American's hardships and appears only too happy to carry out McCain's dirty work because he does not have the guts to do it himself.
It is fascinating to watch her deliver false claims that Obama is "pallying" around with terrorists. She speaks about Ayers as if she knows who he is--and I doubt seriously if she has ever heard of him.
Stock Markets around the world were crashing today, Americans are losing their jobs and watching their 401ks shrink and many will wonder if they can feed their families in the next few weeks. Palin is showing her concern by attacking Obama. I shutter at the thought that McCain/Palin could win this election--Palin makes Cheney look like a boyscout.

Excuse me! Where do you get your information. Obama has shown nothing but class in his campaign, unlike McCain who used to be an honorable man. And Palin, who is breaking the law every day that she ignores the subpoena waiting for her in Alaska. youbetcha.

Hey People,
Shame nothing, you have just gotten everyone started..!
Everything that obama had to defend aginst is coming back (x100). And now the public knows who these players in chicago are, and will be very interested in the "Hate America" people obama has been palling around with since he got into town..:-)
But prabably the most disturbing one is his old pastor and bff wrihght..!!!
Everyone knows that the Rebublican machine will be playing him over, and over, and over..!!
How do you think joe-six pack will take to the black KKK pastor who hates America..?
Maybe obama should have picked his friends better..HUH..?

Hey People,
HAhahaha.. fear ..? Yuo must be kidding...:-)
Just before wright was forced out of his church, it was wonderful to see obama and baby mamma try and explain how they had sat with the kids in the black KKK church for so long.
Best part is, rezco, obamas money man has just started singing to the feds so his sentance will be shorter. The feferal attorney even requested a stay on sentence as he has NEW people to implicate in his crime..?
Guess who is is talking about..?
This might get REAL good in next 2 weeks....!!

I have a request for the formatting of comments here at Mother Jones.
Could you please put the "Posted by:" bar at the beginning instead of at the end?
I'd like to be able to just skip over the verbal vomit by 'people' (I use the term loosely) like Bill Nigh.

Bill Nye,
You sound like a wacko. How long have you had this problem? Maybe you should seek professional help.
Oh yeah, if your guy wins, you won't be able to afford a doctor...or anything else.
Posted by: Lorijen on 10/07/08 at 1:27 PM Respond
I afford a doctor just fine. Have always paid MY bills and never took anything from the government.
I don't think that they govt. should be giving 20 million illegals health care..do you.?
I am just fine, and i think your problem is that millions of Americans think just the way I DO..!!!
Not everyone is a raving lib....huh?
Most do not believe that any domestic terrorist from the 60's should be anywhere but jail. And obamas pastor, he should be back on TV each night..:-)

Wright/Ayers/Pfleger/Alinsky -The sainted one has an affinity for America hating/racist leftists (redundant)-
"Birds of a feather"?????

Obama is a racist. He had his children grow up under Pastor Wright's teaching of hate. Say no to racism. Say no to Obama and Pastor Wright.
