Even after 7+ years of dumbya and dickless cheney we have dumbass Amereicans still backing them and claiming everyone else is wrong. Repugnants are selfish, greedy bastards and they should all be deported- preferably to Iraq or iran where there are many like minded people.

As a citizen of the great state of Illinois, I can attest to the fact that there is NO PROOF in the pudding yet for Obama. He has done more harm to his campaign and the Democrats. Why wouldn't he just be up front from the start? Me thinks he doth protest too much. Like minds? Scares hades out of me

"Reverend Wright didn’t preach during the 7am service. He only preached during the 6pm service, when Obama had already landed in Florida. Unless you’re claiming he flew back specifically for the 6pm service?"

I claim nothing about the facts. All I claim is that private jet airplanes are wondrous things. Speech in Miami at 1:30 pm EDT back in in Chicago by 6:00 Central. No problem. Finish speech at 2:15. MIA and Wheels up by 3:00. MDW at 5:00. Remember the time change. Home at 5:45 Michelle and kids get in limo, and church by 6:00. No sweat.

"Let’s see what unfolds. I am sure passenger manifests are available for the flight."

Private plane, but the flight plans might be available. Of course if it were a charter, it could have been followed by another charter.

I think the facts have not yet been established as of yet. Obama could have been in church and also made the speech date. Let's see what unfolds. I am sure passenger manifests are available for the flight.

Obamessiah just lost the white vote, except among liberal extremists like you, Aliam, and (thank GOD!) you are too few to matter.

Idiot.

Oh man, the schadenfreude just never ends. James mentions that Kessler's rep (unlike NewsMax's) is rather solid in the journalism department. Then commenters give him crap for using Wikipedia as a reference to check a guy's rep. Well, earlier today Kessler was busted for trying to edit his own Wikipedia entry to remove references to the article of made-up Obama crap he wrote that started this whole dust-up. I think we are approaching a Spin Singularity...

So what, Aliam?

Your guy, Obamessiah, is a racist and hatemonger! If he wasn't, why would he call another racist his lifelong "mentor"? Why would he stay in such an obviously racist church if he wasn't a racist? Why would he allow his children to be baptized there? As we watch the video over and over again of Rev. Wright, we can hear the church members screaming in agreement! This is Obamessiah's church. A church of outright racists.

Obamessiah just lost the white vote, except among liberal extremists like you, Aliam, and (thank GOD!) you are too few to matter.

Fat Man,

Reverend Wright didn't preach during the 7am service. He only preached during the 6pm service, when Obama had already landed in Florida. Unless you're claiming he flew back specifically for the 6pm service?

Whatever other issues you might have with the issue, the "Obama was there that morning" claim has been debunked. This Jim Davis person is lying.

Was He In The Pews On July 22nd? Like That Matters....

So now the Obamamites are spinning the Wright story into a story about one particular speech on one particular day:
Bill Kristol’s New York Times column about Barack Obama this morning contains a major, prejudicial error.
Paragraph five:
But Rona...

Using Wikipedia as a basis for the writer's status is nonsense. Anyone can add anything to that trash receptacle. Kristol sucks- always has- always will. Seems he has not allowed the Times to give readers a way to respond to him- asshole that he is.

There is no other conclusion to arrive at that Omamessiah is indeed a racist and electing him would be a profound mistake, both for social policy and national security. Also, Rev. Wright’s close ties with Nation of Islam even brings doubts about Omamessiah not being a Muslim. Scary guy, this candidate of yours.

Time to get your meds recalibrated.

Seems Ms. Winfrey ran, not walked away from the right Rev. Wright's church of hate some years ago when she realized hate mongering was not in her best interest. Wright critized her for abandoning "traditional faith". Why is it she could see what B. Hussein Obama cannot?

Besides, as Ambinder points out, it wasnt exactly difficult to fact check kesslers assertion. All it took was a quick google search.

Luckily, someone did just that. Barack Obama was in Chicago that morning, a fact even his campaign now admits. They are now claiming he was in Chicago, but not at church that day. It will be interesting to see if that claim holds.
