Pastor Of Clinton's Former Church, Dean Snyder, Defends Jeremiah Wright

Wow, a Christo-Freak is supporting another Christo-Freak in order to help yet another Flat-Earther Obama to get elected.... hmm... giant surprise.

It is rightly pointed out that Snyder was not the Senior Minister at Foundry during the White House years that Sen. Clinton attended church there.

This raises the question of why she no longer attends Foundry. Obviously they no longer live full time in Washington, but they do keep a home here and certainly are in town enough that they might a least show up on a Sunday once in awhile. Foundry United Methodist is well known in Washington as a very inclusive and liberal church. One of the few Methodist Churches that supports gay marriage and holds ceremonies. Could this be the reason she doesn't attend? The previous Minister, Wogomon, also supported gay marriage and was liberal and inclusive in his views, so it's hard to know.

I haven't seen any information on any church she has attended since leaving the White House. Maybe she only attends the weekly "prayer meetings" and feels this gives her enough exposure.

This is where we really get into trouble. Shall we have a religious litmus test for our candidates? What did the candidate know about their church and when did they know it? Is Wright a racist? Is Foundry pro gay? Will you reject and denounce!!!???

I really think it is time we let these things go and pay attention to the things that truly matter. I don't really expect that we will though.

This is where Hillary draws her spiritual sustenance from now- alongside the likes of Sam Brownback, John Ashcroft, & Tom DeLay (or is he in jail now?)

Wait 'til he here's about Rev. Wright's latest comments. He's denigrating jews and italians. Yea, making the church stronger. Wright is like most ministers, they don't their bretheren to think for themselves.

Utterly LOONY. To a man, on either side of the aisle, the pastors are totally nuts. Aside from believing in the magic man in the sky they have their heads so far up their ass I'm surprised they can see daylight.

SPIN.

You know, I dare say that there were a few men of the cloth who preached against colonization of American Indian land. There were definitely a handful of clergy who preached against the sale and ownership of human beings. Or that certain races and ethnicities must not worship together.

All, at one time, were considered anti-American, among other things. But one thing that they weren't: they weren't Biblically disobedient.

Why are Americans so gob-smacked at black anger and at the insurgency in Iraq? If slavery and discrimination had happened to my ancestors, I'd be a bit peeved too. And if some super power was occupying my country, I'd go Hillary on them.

Yeah! Ex marine, ready to be pastor in chief from day one.

This man was not at Foundry when the Clintons (and I) went there. The minister then was sort of dry, cerebral, and a little bit of a social climber, I think, because he did end up being on a panel of spiritual advisers to President Clinton during "the troubles." I don't know this guy and don't know why he would even weigh in. It's the silly season for sure.

It never happened...It's out of context...Reporters need to do more work...Listen to all twenty years of his sermons...
Yeah, sure -
That's why over a year ago Wright said, "He may have to distamce himself for me."
Obamanoids have wonderfully selective memories.
"There is no black America and no white America unless, of course, I'm needing to explain my mentor."

If all anyone ever knew about Bill Clinton was the adultery in the oval office and the lying to the American public about his affair with the 21 year old girl, and the media played video loops of Bill saying, "I did not have sex" etc...
They may never now about some of his great achievements like ignoring the genocide in Rwanda and the pardoning high dollar donors.

Is this the same pastor that counseled the Clinton's during Bill's public affair? I wonder how successful he was with Bill? Christians come in all stripes and see different things in their relationship with Christ, God and reading the Bible. This pastor, like Wright, is more political rather than spritiual. The same with Robertson, Dobson, Falwell and all those guys. Same coin different side.

Maybe some of our intrepid reporters should go to Rev. Wright's church for a few week (incognito, if they can get off their backsides long enought to stop referring to a few sound bites and church bulletins) and then talk to the parishioners themselves, Black and white, to find out what "really" goes on. I'm tired of this. Someone near and dear to me has been going to the same church for over forty year, even though the pastor favors Gay Rights and marriage. This person strongly opposes Gay marriage, but he keeps going to the same church, even sings in the choir and has served as a deacon. He otherwise likes the pastor and the church. Everybody can't agree with everyone on everything all the time, and I think Rev. Wright has had his (justifiably) angry moments and thinking. I'm white and if my ethnic group had been through what his has endured for so long and untill very recently in the course of history, and still endures, I'd be pretty damn mad, too. In fact I am mad, though I will never completely understand what being Black in this country has meant. Not everyone is MLK, though I imagine it took some effort on his part too hold his temper quite often.

The Huffington post must still be beta testing because it still screening I don't like Obama posts!

Huh, no mention of Clinton's statement this morning that he too would have walked out of Wright's church had he heard the statements that have everyone up in arms? I don't have a problem with Wright for the most part - but the bias in the media and on this site are troubling.

The Clintons didn"t injected racism into the election it was the media taking everything out of context that Bill Clinton said. Obama enjoyed this when it was the Clintons being targeted over race, and loved it when the race card was working in his favor. The Clintons did not make Obama go to a church for 20 years that spewed hate against Jews, and white people, he did that on his own. Obamaholics are always spinning things rather then looking at the facts. Obama goes to a church that hates white people without denouncing it, takes his wife there, gets married there, takes his children there, has them baptized there and Obamaholics still believe he didn"t know what was being preached by the Rev. Wright his personal mentor. If the American people believe that Obama is ignorant of the preaching that went on at the Trinity Church then we have to assume that Obama either slept though the sermons or was just to dumb to know that they would be controversial, either way it doesn"t bold well for Obama"s claim on great judgment. Please answer this question if Clinton went to a church that preached hatred of any got married there took her children there had them baptized there wouldn"t she be labeled as a racist, and denounced in the Democratic party? Obama is getting a free pass on being a racist because he is black, and that should not be tolerated.

Someone is looking for his 15 minutes of fame. This article really falls into the giant heap of "so what" news you can't use.

Rather than continuing this endless back and forth, a kind of he said she said, why isn't the press giving us a better idea of the congregation Obama is part of. My understanding is that whites are members of his church. Why doesn't the press speak with any of them so we can learn why they have stayed in a church where their minister has made such inflammatory remarks. Perhaps we could learn something about their sense of tolerance? Perhaps they know something the press isn't sharing with us?

As far as I'm concerned, it's a testament to Senator Obama's character that he refused to throw his former pastor or church under the bus, as would have so many other politicians.
