Asked for a response to this newly-posted excerpt from the sermon, the Obama campaign has re-released the same statement it issued last week after the video of Rev Pfleger’s mocking of Sen. Clinton was released: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153As I have traveled this country, I’ve been impressed not by what divides us, but by all that that unites us. That is why I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger’s divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which doesn’t reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d – Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Guess he thinks that he’s said it all and doesn’t want to explain why he has supported people who view America as a racist nation. I think that it’s about time someone asks him if he believes that America is a racist nation and the greatest sin against God. I would think that nations like China and Viet Nam would be a bigger sins since they actually persecute Christians. Pastors who say that the plight of blacks in this country is the worst sin in the world might not want to be so provincial and think about what’s going on in the rest of the world before they look like fools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
