Obama never heard Wright say those incendiary things, but he heard about them later on, and so distanced his campaign from the Reverend. Everyone whose IQ doesn't drop 30 points when Obama's name is mentioned is capable of understanding this.

Posting an article with all the usual liberal nitwittery does little to convince me. You got anything else? Seriously, dude?
