He was <em>never<\/em> in Church when Wright made any of his hateful rascist, anti-white, anti-American, Jew-hating comments.<\/p>\n<p>In 20-years he was never in Church. As Jay Leno quipped, he must have been in his Mosque.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the great uniter <a href=\"http:\/\/newsmax.com\/kessler\/Obama_hat%20e_America_sermon\/2008\/03\/16\/80870.html?s=al&amp;promo_code=9991-1\">was present during Wright&#8217;s most hateful and bigoted speeches.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll bet he&#8217;ll tell us that he wasn&#8217;t applauding.<\/p>\n<p>Uh-huh.<\/p>\n<p>Because he stands for, y&#8217;know, change.<\/p>\n<p>Obama said in his speech this morning that some of Wright&#8217;s comments were incindiery.<\/p>\n<p>Hellooo, it&#8217;s not incindiery.

I&#8217;m extremely cautious about which Rabbis associate with. If ever I heard any Rabbi deliver a sermon with rhetoric like Wright&#8217;s I&#8217;d head for the hills, and I&#8217;d report him to the FBI for seditious speech. I&#8217;d certainly resign my membership and I&#8217;d write a letter explaining why. I would not continue to sit in shul week after week&mdash;for 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>And I certainly wouldn&#8217;t remain in a shul if it honored, oh, let&#8217;s say David Duke, the white equivalent of Louis Farrakhan.<\/p>\n<p>I would not sit in a shul where a Rabbi screeched: &ldquo;No, not G-d bless America, G-d damed America.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d denounce such a Rabbi as a traitor. And anyone who cannot denounce such a man does not deserve to President of the United States. Does not deserve to be in the U. S. Senate. Does not deserve to be the local dog catcher.<\/p>\n<p>There are two Rabbis in my own community who I avoid like the plague, their politics are toxic, politics of appeasement and surrender and I won&#8217;t have anything to do with them.<\/p>\n<p>Who you associate with says a great deal about your character.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert J.
