I honestly think that if that had happened, he wouldn’t have been able to run for POTUS. Look how hard the nut fringe has struggled to paint him as an “angry black man” (beck with the “deepseated hatred of white culture”, the hysterical claims that there was a michelle obama ‘whitey tape’). That’s part of the hysteria behind Jeremiah Wright as well.

First off the “whitey tape” thing was a Clinton supporter and troofer if I recall, not a Republican, and you don’t think there was any issue with Wright? Please, the fact that the President sat in a church where antisemitism and other horrible things were preached should be a real concern. I would not sit in a shul where language and hatred like that were spewed.
