Hillary: Wright Would Have Been Intolerable To Me Because Of 9/11
Asked about Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, Hillary slips a reference to the fact that the 9/11 attackers hit "my city" into her critique....
Obviously, one's choice of church and pastor is rooted in what one believes is what you're seeking in church, and what kind of fellowship you find in church.But I have to say that for pastor wright to have given his first sermon after 9/11, and to have blamed the United States for the attack, which happened in my city of New York, would have been just intolerable for me. And therefore I would have not been able to stay in the church.
A bit later comes her claim that Wright's a legit topic, as well as a reference to Farrakhan and Hamas...
As leaders we have a choice of who we associate with, and who we apparently give some kind of seal of approval to. And I think that it wasn't only the specific remarks, but the relationship with Rev. Farrakhan, with giving the church bulleting over to the leader of Hamas to put a message in. These are problems, and they raise questions in people's minds. This is a legitimate area, as everything is when we run for office, for people to be exploring, and trying to find answers.
That's a lot of buttons pushed in a few short moments.
