    I agree Richard. What are the odds that there are only two nut cases spouting off cr@p from that pulpit. Honestly, it did look like a comedy club, albeit not a very funny one.

    Well, that priest ( if you can really call him that) offended ME!!! No wonder so many people are turning away from religion!!! Church is a place to go to worship God, not spout hate and make fun of anyone or express your political point of view. I wonder if either the priest or Wright even ever read a Bible!!! They sure don't seem to have the same one I have!!!

    That priest seemed to think he was doing stand up comedy ... and very badly too, I might add!!! I'm sure God does not appove of having his house of worship treated like a comedy club!!!!

    I would probably have yelled at that priest to shut up, gave him a piece of my mind then left!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Yes, I agree w/you; the church is a place to partake of spiritual food, not political ranting. I have no problem w/a spirited sermon. I don't go to church to catch up on my sleep. But to be screamed at and for the priest to spew his venom about Hillary Clinton, or any political subject for that matter, in such a disturbing and hateful way is just unacceptable and shameful. It wasn't the Sermon on the Mount, that's for sure. He said earlier that Jeremiah Wright is one of his best friends and that's evident w/out his ever having said that. They have the same gestures, body stance and delivery. Not exactly salve for the soul.

    Guess which one of the candidates made this gaffe?

    At a Memorial Day event they looked over the crowd and said something like,
    "I see the fallen heroes in the crowd"?

    Yep, that's the correct answer!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    I hear that speech & know who it was, and that's not an exact quote,
    but it's close.

    Did you hear that BO has resigned from the Chicago church with the
    "strange" speakers?

    I see fallen heroes!

    -------

    He did some kind of speech in Washington State.

    IT was at a park where the local government had a memorial for fallen cops.
    The people who work for BO arranged to have the porta potties right next to the monument. A local cop called the BO campaign to get an apology for it.

    The BO camp told him that the heads had to be placed there for security and the handicapped- no apology, just an excuse.

    -----------------

    The reason he left the church is that it's time to get rid of all dead weight.

    The funniest part about the whole fiasco is the reason that he gave.

    He wanted to keep the parishoners from getting caught up in the circus and blamed the media!

    The 'flock' was just as much to blame for not morons preach that crap.

    I started to laugh when he made a statement about putting his kids in a church to pray and go to Sunday school. I guess he must have been unconcious when he attended services and signed the kids up for school.

    During his speech yesterday I was looking at the clock and from the 7:15 to the 7:20 time frame he "ummed" 40 times.

    I try to listen to every candidate speak, but this guy no tiene gracia para hablar!

    He had no grace, no tempo, no style with out a que card or notes.

    GWB may mangle the language, but he is fun to listen too and has no problem wearing the jester's hat.

    The difference is knowing you are being laughed at and pretending you don't notice.

    Aren't you just shocked that McCain refuses to support a bill that would grant military personnel better education benefits???? (Also known as the GI Bill.) He says it is because a study says it would increase people leaving the military by 16%.

    He fails to mention the same study says it would increase people going into the military by 16%.

    Sounds like a wash to me.

    I guess he thinks those in the military should just do what he did....marry a really rich woman!

    It's painful for me to listen to him speak. I can't take all the uh's and um's. I hit the mute button once so that I could read the captions instead but they actually included the uh's and um's! Maddening!
