		<description>I&#039;m a Christian, but I don&#039;t pay particularly close attention to any of the above except Dobson.  One may or may not agree with Dobson&#039;s positions, but he seems to be a good man.

There appears to be another difference between Wright and Falwell/Robertson besides skin color.  Rev. Wright appears to be decidedly anti-American on every position.  I don&#039;t think any citizen of any country has to agree totally with every action of their country, but, dang, if you hate the country that much, go somewhere else.  Wright&#039;s positions on most every subject appear to identify with the most ultra-liberal positions out there.  Generally, Americans have rejected the most extreme views - liberal and conservative.

I don&#039;t think either Falwell or Robertson would generally be described as un-American.

Have a great day.</description>

		<description>First of all, you&#039;re right about one of the differences between Falwell/Robertson and Obama/Wright is skin color.  If Falwell/Robertson had made any of those comments from the pulpit the ACLU would have been after them and they probably wouldn&#039;t have been allowed to preach anymore.  Blacks, for some reason, have that privilege and whites do not.

I&#039;m assuming you are a Democrat - so do you not remember all the flack Falwell/Robertson took for their comments????  Robertson is a lunatic so most conservatives don&#039;t agree with everything he says - so Giuliani didn&#039;t gain anything by being endorsed by him - if anything, it hurt his candidacy.  Besides, Giuliani is so liberal he should be a Democrat.  Falwell disappeared from the radar after those comments.  The big thing with Obama is that he stayed at Wright&#039;s so called &quot;church&quot; for at least 20 years, and he is just NOW chastising Wright for what he has said - even though this has been public for at least a month.  So yes, he has a right to be condemned!  

Also, McCain couldn&#039;t have courted Falwell&#039;s vote b/c Falwell is dead!  He should have courted Dobson&#039;s vote - it would have looked much better.  Huckabee got that endorsement - but a little late, otherwise he probably would have been the Republican nominee.  

One last thing, Robertson isn&#039;t considered among true Christians to be conservative, aka &quot;the religious right&quot;.  He may be by those who call themselves Christians but have no relationship w/ God.</description>
