Preacher and Obama
Most of you have probably seen at least parts of the following video. Be aware, it has some bad language and some racist language. Watch at your own risk.
However, the reverend tells it like it is against Obama.

Wow. This this video is a thousand times more offensive than Wright's sound byte tape. Do yourself and your readers a favor and take 6 mins & 48 secs to watch the "Chickens Have Come Home to Roost" sermon in some context here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvMbeVQj6Lw. It might also help for context to know that "The chickens have come home to roost" is a direct quote from President Reagan's Ambassador to Baghdad, Edward Peck, whose interview with Linda Vesser on Fox News Oct 12, 2001 was the inspiration for Wright's sermon: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/21/meet-the-white-man-who-_n_92793.html
What good comes from posting Rev. Manning's stupidity? Is it a patriotic thing to do? Truth doesn't seem to matter because it can take effort to look for it and it requires a person to think for themselves. It's so much easier to watch tv and pick the opinion that suits our shallowest notions and then repeat it as if it were fact. And so it is we decline - as individuals and as a nation. It's sad. Think about it.
