They may be the worst, but many if not most of Wright's sermons were filled with hate, and the new pastor of Obama's church is also preaching hate. Obama will be exposed as a liar on this issue. Hate is the nature of Obama's church, and every time Wright gets mentioned, more Americans learn that Obama chose that hate-filled church instead any of hundreds of non-hate-filled churches.
