And, she not even in PA.

but there is a month to go and that makes me cringe. :scared: (I am the eternal pessimist)

Obama's connections with hate speech. The Rev. James Meek is going to hit next; it's already been covered on FOX.
His supporters are beginning to do him in. PA voters aren't the type to try to parse what so and so meant when he said such and such.
Obviously, Hillary has got to fight on two fronts, against Obama and McCain, but the same can be said for Obama vs. McClain and Hillary and for McCain vs. both Dems. Although right now it's McCain's turn to glide along.

FOX website. Hannity and Colmes show devoted quite some time to this story. This Rev. James T. Meeks also compared the mayor of Chicago to a slavemaster and was on defending his views. Video clips were also played. Apparently his church also sells its sermons. They are available from the Meeks' Salem Baptist Church website.


HANNITY: And we start tonight with a developing story. There are new questions being raised today about Barack Obama's association with another African-American minister And a political figure in Chicago. He is state senator, the Reverend James Meeks of the South Side Baptist Church. Meeks also has direct ties to the Obama campaign. He is an Illinois super delegate. And as of this afternoon, Obama's own campaign Web site touted his endorsement. But Meeks has also made comments in the past that are outraging people today. He has been criticized by the gay community for calling homosexuality quote, "an evil sickness." And at the same time, he has engaged in several high profile disputes with the mayor of Chicago, Richard Daley. And once used the "N" word in a sermon while chastising the mayor.


If you will google Meeks and Obama you'll get alot of hits. People can complain about listening to Hannity, but he covered the Wright controversy before others, and he has done the same here. I've been listening to MSNBC today and so far not a peep about Meeks, but I will watch some CNN and FOX later and see if they are perusing this.

Edit for spelling typo.

wow.WOW!!!!!!!!! :toast:

so tight I'm getting a cramp.

GO HILLARY!!!!!!
