I listened to that entire sermon, and nothing was pulled out of context. The cherry-picked quote (the “faith footnote”) is representative of the cherry tree from which it was plucked from. The whole sermon is laced with hand-wringing “what did we do to deserve this” blowback navel-gazing.

Even your Huffington Post link can’t hide the America-blame in the sermon.

Aside from being on the wrong topic, you are also posting drivel from useless idiots like Huffingtonpost.

Sorry, we have heard and seen more of that racist Wright than we EVER want to, and not from FOX, but from his own pamphlets and “sermons”. You want a racist, look no further than Wright and Obama.

But this thread is not about him or his racist, hateful rants.

Fox news doctored and falsified the video of Obama’s pastor Wright. Wright did not preach those words himself. He was quoting a White Man.; Ambassador Edward Peck. And he is a retired, white, career U.S. diplomat who served 32-years in the U.S. Foreign Service and was chief of the U.S. mission to Iraq under Jimmy Carter. The complete video below will show that Pastor Wright is telling his audience that “I will tell you what a white man named Ambassador Peck said”. And then he will quote Mr. Peck. And he ends by reminding his congregation “A white man said this, I didn’t say it”. Fox didn’t show that because they wanted people to think it came from Pastor Wright.

Fox news is the bottom of the barrel; Full of hate and thoroughly racist.

Here’s the evidence.

Here’s the proof that Fox knew it was a lie because Peck said these words on Fox News after 9/11 and that’s where Pastor Wright got the quote from.

And after they made the false tape, Fox put it out on the internet and nobody knew where it had come from.

He can wear them with pride. It shows he actually had to do something, master something and be willing to risk everything (including his life) to get those ribbons.

And what to these putzs sitting in judgment of him have?

Now, let’s look at the good General.

General Paetreaus - Lieutenant General Petraeus was commissioned in the Infantry upon graduation from the United States Military Academy in 1974. He has held leadership positions in airborne, mechanized, and air assault infantry units in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, including command of a battalion in the 101st Airborne Division and a brigade in the 82nd Airborne Division. In addition, he has held a number of staff assignments: Aide to the Chief of Staff of the Army; service as a battalion, brigade, and division operations officer; Military Assistant to the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe; Chief of Operations of the United Nations Force in Haiti; and Executive Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Lieutenant General Petraeus was the General George C. Marshall Award winner as the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Class of 1983. He subsequently earned MPA and Ph.D. degrees in international relations from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and later served as an Assistant Professor of International Relations at the US Military Academy. He also completed a fellowship at Georgetown University.

Ribbons - Awards and decorations earned by General Petraeus include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Distinguished Service Medal, two awards of the Defense Superior Service Medal, four awards of the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal for valor, the State Department Superior Honor Award, the NATO Meritorious Service Medal, and the Gold Award of the Iraqi Order of the Date Palm. He is a Master Parachutist and is Air Assault and Ranger qualified. He has also earned the Combat Action Badge and French, British, and German Jump Wings.

And he is being judged by a couple of 4th rate lawyers and a BA grad. Please.

Their major claim to fame is being able to get people to vote for them without having any real skills or talents. I believe that is how high school politics is run.

As far as their ‘respected positions’, seniority will do that for you. Seniority is the ticket if you have no abilities to earn things on your own.

And with all respect, ‘their years of service in politics’ does not even being to equate to the academic and real-world leadership experience that the good General has received and promotions he has EARNED.

It’s way past time that these putzs get their clocks cleaned and compare them ‘Apples to Apples’ with people who have really accomplished things in their lives. Our political leadership wouldn’t know how to lead a parade if they weren’t riding in the car at the front.

Anyway, just MAHO.

This is the kind of pathetic, ignorant, hateful garbage that the L.A. Times passes off on its dwindling readership. Gen. David H. Petraeus may be as impressive a military professional as the United States has developed in recent years, but…

Happiness is the farthest thing from my mind when I read Rockefeller’s, and other ilk such as his, words.

I wonder when Matthew DeBord saw combat?

DeBord is a turd that doesn’t rate to carry Petraeus’ piss and he’s too much of a pussy to list his email address.

God bless General Petraeus — a man who has more courage in his thumb than leftists have in their entire bodies.

That’s after a 6 month deployment witht he 22nd MEU to the Middle East, and going to Iraq toward the end of the year.
