Right wing commentator Steve Marlsberg [WOR radio] beat you to the punch a couple of days ago. Steve claimed the Hamas support indicated that Barack 'Hussein' Obama was a left wing whacko who supported the terrorist organization. Malsberg's listeners accept his contention that all Muslims should be vaporized and that anyone who would seek an alternative way of dealing with them is a traitor.
Even Steve says Obama joined Wright's church 16 years ago. Marlsberg smears Obama by confusing words from a third party with Obama's beliefs.At least, Wright defends the Commandment "Thou shalt not kill," which puts Wright head and shoulders above his countrymen.
An interpretation in Hebrew is "Thou shalt not MURDER." Its Okay to defend your country by killing enemy troops. It becomes murder when your country invades another without provocation, as we did in Iraq. Millions of US government employees will burn in hell many centuries no doubt.

Geez, can I just write in Al Gore???

If the Hamas quote is accurate and true to context why is it a smear? It's not. Obama knows it's not. Which makes him a liar.
Obama's denial is simple political (and courtroom) deception. You deny the facts because there is always a certain percentage of people who find the lie more appealing than the truth and will choose the lie on that basis. The facts are irrelevant.
And so it is that Obama can sit in a racist "church" for 40 years and claim that its teachings did not agree with his views. When called on to defend the absurdity of his position he spent an additional 6 weeks defending the person and words of his "church's" racist leader. When it becomes clear that the public was not buying this nonsense he reversed his position and - by God - the media and his blind faith followers ate it up. He told a dozen different lies until the media and his followers decided they could accept the last one. That is the deffinition of social insanity.
