Jeremiah Wright (Obama's former pastor) said. And Father Michael Pfleger made a personal attack on Hillary Clinton when he should've been speaking in generalities.<BR/><BR/>But there are lots of folks (not the media) with whom I've corresponded who wanted Obama to not only disassociate himself from his church but to drop religion entirely. These are the people whom I hope can see, from Songbird's letter, why Obama stuck with his church as long as he did.Katharine O'Moore-Klopfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699159708036532202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188674.post-69080818298576723812008-06-03T07:29:00.000-04:002008-06-03T07:29:00.000-04:00I'm one of those non-churchy types, but I'll say t...I'm one of those non-churchy types, but I'll say that, really, what his pastor said was no big deal to me. I think much of what he said was right. A bit over the top, but, yeah, I could see it (even the KKK comment, if I'm remembering correctly).<BR/><BR/>That guest preacher though -- the white Catholic priest who was dissing Hillary Clinton? I would have walked out on him during that nasty speech.<BR/><BR/>I never thought the issue was Obama leaving his *religion*, was it? (I'm not so good with the mainstream press, as you know) I thought it was about him leaving that congregation.<BR/><BR/>And was Obama even in the pews during the mean Catholic sermon?Imperatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748228447190366632noreply@blogger.com
