Is it wrong for the KKK to point out that black men commit a very disproportionate amount of violent crime in America?

I do believe that Obama is smarter and more reasonable than his pastor, and I believe Obama when he says that he completely disagrees with some of his pastor's statements. I disagree with plenty of stuff I hear at Church, and I still attend. Haven't you ever had someone say something atrocious or racist from the pulpit? I admit that it's rare, but it does happen. We have less of a problem with racism than anti-gay bigotry. Heck, we had a member of our stake presidency say that depression is a direct result of not having the spirit. That's pretty f-ed up, IMO. |

It's possible. Eyebrows were raised even a year ago when it became clear they were choosing between two of the least electable candidates in America. We all know where Hillary sits, and as much as I personally like Mr. Obama, there's no getting around the fact that he's a biracial African-American man with a Muslim middle name, an incredibly liberal voting record, and several skeletons in his closet. If McCain keeps his act together, he could actually pull off what would be regarded as a huge upset for the Republicans. It would certainly help McCain for the war to stay out of the headlines and for the economy to slow its widely perceived tanking, though.

1) he is so new on the scene that people are looking to find out what he is all about--that can be dangerous. 2) he thinks he can talk his way out of anything. On Florida and Michigan, that's the best Obama can hope for. This looks like it is going to turn into a real mess. Odd that Michigan and Florida moved up so they could be more relevant, and by doing so, they did excactly what they planned in a very round about way.

And I usually sleep through church, so I rarely hear anything controversial.
