A friendly message from Obama’s pastor:

“We started the AIDS virus”? Heh.

Via Hot Air, where AP posted it in response to the left’s outrage over Hagee and McCain. He writes:

Dan Collins says he’s keen to have this list of fun facts about America presented to Obama for approval or disagreement, but I’m willing to compromise on just the one asserting that “we started the AIDS virus.” Your exit question: If “I don’t agree with everything he says” works for liberal Jesus, how come it doesn’t work for McCain?

Frankly, I consider this to be an even more important issue than Hagee. After all, McCain doesn’t visit Hagee’s church on a weekly basis. There’s no connection there, no spiritual relationship. Obama, however, does have a relationship – and a very important one at that – with his pastor, who you just heard preaching hatred of America basically.

It’s not politically correct to say this, but I’m going to say it nonetheless: saying “I don’t agree with everything he ever said” shouldn’t be enough. This pastor plays a very big role in Obama’s life, and he lets himself be influenced by him heavily. He and his wife often use religious rhetoric which means that they don’t seem to be all that much in favor of a 100% separation of religion and state.

No, this should be an issue. Obama should completely distance himself from his Pastor.

He won’t, simply no one will push him to do what he should do (black racism isn’t considered to be a true problem by many liberals).

And no, this isn’t an attempted smear, this is truly what I think of this issue. If Obama was white, and his preacher as well, and you would have replaced black with white and vice versa, the entire media would be all over Obama. In fact, his campaign would have been dead already.

It says lots about Obama that he considers this man to be a great source of (spiritual) inspiration. He’s a radical. Be careful whom you associate with. It’s something we should all keep in mind. Another ancient wisdom if that you want to know how someone is you have to look at his friends. Well, what do some of Obama’s friends tell you about the man? To me very much: a radical in moderate clothes.
