I’m really not seeing any relationship between quote #1 and your commentary on it. The quote says he sometimes disagreed with what his pastor said. I’m not sure how you get to the point where he’s trying to make you feel like a backwoods bigot. It sounds like you’re responding to someone else entirely.

Wes,

Well, good luck finding that video.

He’s acknowledged that he knew Wright’s views to be controversial, but considering the Republicans combed through 7 years of video to find 3 minutes of footage shows it wasn’t as frequent as you’d like to believe.

24/7? No, probably not.

But a lot more often than Bro. Obama would have us believe. Anyone who goes to church regularly knows that you’re not often going to hear your pastor say something just completely off the wall, out of the blue, and out of character. If I’ve heard my pastor state his beliefs once, I’ve heard him say them a hundred times, as I’m sure Obama has heard his pastor say these things.

I have little doubt that somewhere in all the video archives of this church there’s some video of congregant Obama waving his hand and saying “amen” to some of this stuff.

In this one casual remark he turns Rev. Wright’s comments and evil rhetoric into the Republican/Conservative talking points.

Only if you buy into the caricature of Wright as someone who 24/7 says “kill whitey”…then yes, you could read it that way.
