Usually these are pretty funny, Tom. Or at least, I can kind of see your point of view. But this one is pretty lame (and I know lame ...lol).
First of all, the pastor does not hate America. I thought you, at least, did not carry that dead weight around. He dislikes actions that have been taken in America's name. That's a legitimate beef.
And two, you know fully well that being a patriot does not require wearing a flag pin. I find it surprising that you would fall for that silliness as well, considering the awe in which I hold you (except the COEXIST thing, but I figure you had a good excuse for that period of time).
Lastly, Weather Underground. What was that, 40 years ago? You need new material. Even Nixon's cohorts have been rehabilitated. So much that liberals praise them and conservatives despise them. Weird world, eh?

Tim, I just said these things were part of Obama's reputation, not whether they were fair or not -- that's for another 4-Block, eh? But when Obama supporters point out that McCain doesn't wear his lapel pin all the time, they seem oblivious to this crucial difference.

You are SOOOooo down wit' da Koolaid.
The man is a white-hating racist bigot who despises the country that has given him the freedom to speak the bile that he espouses regularly from the pulpit. If a white man were making the same speeches against blacks in any church in the land he'd be defrocked in a matter of heartbeats.
Second, being a patriout does not require wearing a lapel pin. It DOES demonstrate a lot more interest in the USA than having your campaign groups working under a picture of Che, however. Guess which one applies to Mr. O'Bama (snicker)?

It's good you allow clowns the right to comment too, Tom. Even so, O'Bloody Hell still has nothing to say.
Dictionary description of the word racist:
"A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."
Explain to me, clown, how Obama or the pastor is racist according to this?

I dunno, but isn't calling yourself African-American when you have a white parent somewhat akin to saying that there's an inherent superiority to being of African descent? Seems that was considered racist in the South when white people applied it...

For an explanation of exactly why it's apropriate to dcall Rev. Wright, Barak Obama, and Michelle Obama racists by your own definition of the word, ready Trinity united's website http://www.trinitychicago.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=114
Michelles' college thesis
http://www.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_1-251.pdf
And Barak Obama's 2 Books
Try your local library.
I could let Obama off the hook for the church membership though, because he only used them for political gain and fund-raising.
