Speaking of Religion and Politics…

Seems Hilary has her own little secrets, when it comes to worship. See what happens when you start throwing stones?
Thanks to @davewiner, the Twitterati were directed to this post from Barbara Ehrenreich’s blog: Hillary’s Nasty Pastorate.

  • I'm glad you pointed out at the end of your post the once respected rule of 'separation of church and state'. Why have Americans forgotten this concept? Also, it appears that my favored canidiate is not yours, which I already knew, but I thought I'd throw that in anyway. Although I tend to steer clear of political discussions, I always find it interesting how much candidate bashing goes on during the campaigns. I think it's pretty safe to say that they all have screwed up in the past, they all have flopped on the issues and they all have lied at some point in their career to make themselves look better. That being said, I don't care who they worship or what religious establishment they attend. As long as they are not an extremist in any way, I think having diverse presidents from a plethora of religious and cultural backgrounds is beneficial to the US. May the best woman (or man) win! ;) (PS - I won't BO-bash you, so please don't H-Bash me!!)
  • I believe this needs as much airing as the Rev wright controversy. Why should she be able to get away with it?

    She has degraded his reputation, by saying if it were her pastor she'd leave.

    Please get this out there.

    Tit for Tat.

    Her dishonesty we don't need in the white house.

    At least Obama has never said anything verbally. Only the pastor. Why should he take the heat for what others say.

    I 've been told people don't agree with some of the things their pastor and priest have said.
    But they've got to go to church somewhere.

    They all have their sermons they believe in, and try to convince the congregation it's true.

    They'll preach anything as long as they can, pass the collection basket at the same time.
  • Pastor at Clintons' D.C. Church defends Wright

    The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is an outstanding church leader whom I have heard speak a number of times," Snyder wrote. "He has served for decades as a profound voice for justice and inclusion in our society. To evaluate his dynamic ministry on the basis of two or three sound bites does a grave injustice to Dr. Wright, the members of his congregation, and the African-American church which has been the spiritual refuge of a people that has suffered from discrimination, disadvantage, and violence. Dr. Wright, a member of an integrated denomination, has been an agent of racial reconciliation while proclaiming perceptions and truths uncomfortable for some white people to hear. Those of us who are white Americans would do well to listen carefully to Dr. Wright rather than to use a few of his quotes to polarize."
