Obama just went to Wright's services to show that he is a Christain. In the united Stupidity of America you have to be a Christian to be allowed to run for any office.

I favor McCain's religious stance over Obama's.

No of course not. Remember these are liberals. They learned all they needed to know in kindergarten.

You folks can't be serious..... I'm sure there are soap opera's on if you are that bored.....

Chastising voice (I think that's what you meant by "chasining")? There was little change in her voice and again, raising your voice to say what you were already going to say is not pointing out the ignorance of someone screaming it out. Don't make excuses for her. She does not care what is said as long as it isn't coming from her mouth.
Yeah I ment chasining spelling is not my strong point. I disagree though I do believe she tried to point it out. Granted she was incompetant at it, like most stuff she has done, but I do believe she did try.

These kinds of posts are the exact reason that McCain HAS to win. You people are SO intent on making this a race thing when it is not. The silly posts here attacking McCain and Palin make me sick. Look at yourselves. If you guys are a reflection of Obama, then no way in hell I want him elected. We don't need this in America.

Even though you may not be able to do anything, sometimes it is enough just to say something. It is at least a start.
McCain was reponding to a woman who was speaking directly to him. I don't think Palin needed to comment, address or acknowledge a woman who randomly shouted something out in a crowd. That kind of racist remark doesn't dignify an answer.

It has nothing to do with being liberal. Rev. Wright is not running for national office and he has no effect on anyone's life unless they decide to let him have an effect on it. In the same respect, whoever this woman is in the rally has no effect on my life but it would have been nice, since Sarah Palin would be representing the United States of America, which is a diverse society, to stop and let the crowd know that that type of language will not be tolerated by her since the only purpose of it is to divide the country. She didn't so there really is nothing to say. Maybe she agrees with the woman, maybe she doesn't but when you are at a public rally that is being filmed for the world to see, sometimes you need to take a stand.

Palin's on record as referring to Native Alaskans as "f**king Eskimo's" and "Arctic Arabs". Why would she chastise one of her followers for using a racist epithet?

What stuff are you referring to? The fool in the crowd yelled a racist slur and you asked why should Palin say anything?? My goodness, this forum never ceases to amaze me.
