Obama's hateful conspiracy nut pastor

It is simply not believable that Barack Obama could attend Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church for twenty years and not be aware of, as Obama has claimed, Wright's many racist and conspiratorial rants that have forced Obama, now that it's getting wider exposure, to remove his old pastor from his campaign. It's just not credulous that he wouldn't have heard, over the course of a 1000+ potential Sunday sermons, similar sentiments from his pastor. It isn't plausible that Obama didn't know- hadn't even heard thru the grapevine- that his pastor said this just after Sept. 11, 2001: "The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color."

Though he's distancing himself from the pastor now, and condemning each of the specific statements when they get reported, Obama cannot expect reasonable people to believe that he sat in the pews of Trinity UCC for twenty years, listening to Rev. Wright's racist religious beliefs without being aware of them.

If Barack Obama wants us to evaluate him on the basis of his judgement, as he constantly requests of us, then he may end up being rejected for exhibiting the questionable judgement of remaining a close friend and disciple of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
