What would you expect from a Hollywood elitist?
NED THE NOSEHAIR12:01PMMay 4th 2008
I guess you could say that Tom Hanks and Obama are....Bosom Buddies! Haha! Ha! Good for you, Thomas! http://jviz.blogspot.com/2008/04/jeremiah-wright-and-barack-obama.html

I wonder - at what point does endorsements for BO from rich white hollywood types hurt him? I mean not just help - but hurt
Does BO not already get 80% of the far left and rich white dem crowd?
These were good around IOWA = and maybe helped a smidge - now I wonder if they work the opposite way
Rural white worker - Sure Hanks can like Obama - he does not work of 9 bucks an hour

Who the f*** cares what Tom Hanks thinks!

Trinity United Church of Christ
Obama mentioned his church during his appearance with Oprah. It's the 'Trinity United Church of Christ'.
It is very alarming. Barack Obama is a member of this church and is running for President of the U.S. If you look at the first page of their Web site, you will learn that this congregation has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. No where is America even mentioned. Notice too, what color you will need to be if you should want to join Obama's church? Does this surprise anyone?
Doesn't look like his choice of religion has improved much over his Muslim upbringing. This guy wants to rule America while his loyalty is totally vested in a black Africa !
I cannot believe this has not been all over the TV and newspapers. This is why it is so important to pass this message along to all our family and friends. To think that Obama has even the slightest chance in the run for the presidency is really scary.

Just because someone is famous does not mean he/she carries more or less weight than the average citizen. I truely believe that Obama has been spoonfed racial prejudice throughout the last 20 years. This type of repetative bigotry amounts to brainwashing. It, for some reason, would be more easily had it happened to a white politician. I believe were he to be elected, he would fall back on this past experience and the entire country would suffer greatly.
OBAMA 08!12:30PMMay 4th 2008
THE STATISTICS ON BLACKS IN AMERICA AND THE WORLD CAUSED THE TRINITY CHURCH TO TARGET THE SPECIFIC UPLIFTMENT OF BLACKS BECAUSE BLACKS HAVE THE GREATEST NEED. THEY ONLY NEEDED TO LOOK IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WHITES AND OTHERS HAVE SAID FROM TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT BLACKS SHOULD PULL THEMSELVES UP BY THEIR OWN BOOT STRAPS. WELL... HEEERRRRREEEE'S TRINITY!
AND WHY ARE WHITES GETTING UPSET. TRINITY CHURCH IS NOT ANTI-WHITE, ITS NOT EVEN ANTI-AMERICAN, IT SEEMS TO BE ONLY ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT...ANTI-POLICY, PERIOD. HILLARY AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE USING FEAR TACTICS AGAIN TO ATTEMPT A WIN FOR THE STATUS QUO. THE QUESTION IS ARE AMERICANS SMARTER THIS TIME AROUND? ARE THEY REALLY READY FOR A BETTER AMERICA? INDIANA, NORTH CAROLINA YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE HISTORY AND PUT US ON THE PATH TO PEACE AND PROSPERITY!

Hanks?
Not for long, wait till SpielBERG clues him in.
jberrocal12:43PMMay 4th 2008
ignorance is bliss! critics of tom hanks obviously are not aware of the projects he has directed or starred in! yeah, ignorant like you probably voted for bush and against gay marriage....you reap what you sow!
Katherine12:50PMMay 4th 2008
This whole thing is gearing up to be the most scandalous "I told you so."
Lou12:53PMMay 4th 2008
Dear John, what is alarming is your thread. You have a right to believe whatever you want but as a good American that has voted in every election for the past 40 years I have never believed in a campaign moe than I do in the OBAMA 2008 campaign.
the fact that you are trying to keep the Trinity Church thing going is proof that you are not acting like a reasonable human being. See your thread below:

I am Catholic and over the past 20 years there have been countless lassuits filed against the church for priests who sexually abused alter boys & girls ( montly boys) so many priests are homosexual's and Jimmy Swagart has sex with a lot of his patrons, Jim & Tammy Faye Baker stole money from their partons. With that being said which category do you fall under?? And after you try to wrap your mind around that maybe you will grow up and realize that Senator Obama is no more responsible for what his former pastor said then you or I am for what our ministers and priests have done as individuals who happened to be associated with a particular church.
suzanne1:07PMMay 4th 2008
I expect no less from the Hollywood sheep , they dress alike ,they talk alike what do you expect? They have NOTHING to lose they are "RICH"!!
The self important sheep herder set mean nothing to the every day people who actually work for a living.. they haven't a clue how the REAL PEOPLE LIVE haven't the first clue. Hollywood is knee deep in sheep,
Talk about your elitists!!
Tom Hanks has himself mixed up with the part he just played in a movie he doesn't know how to separate the two.

Davidg1:12PMMay 4th 2008
Ok Lou, wait a minute...now imagine if you had gone to a Catholic service for 20 years knowing what the priests were doing.
That's more along the lines of the Obama comparison. Obama most certainly holds the same beliefs as Rev. Wright. The fact that he denys it makes him worse than wright.
And who gives a rat's behind who Tom Hanks is endorsing?
ruthe1:18PMMay 4th 2008

Migawd, I wake up and read a little of the Sunday news and find I've stumbled into a KKK meeting . . .
I can't tell if this is the white trash faction who's upset they haven't been included in the exit polling or just the same gullible sorts who've let themselves be rendered dizzy once again by the Billy Jeff and Shrillary spin machine . . .
I sometimes regret that Barak has to be such a gentleman because it would be entertaining to see her ducking some genuine verbal sniper fire (like this).
BTW, I'm a white guy living in the Rockies before you go tossing out he racial garbage . . . My theory is Hillary's support among blue collar white women comes from their identification with her plight; a lot of them wound up in the same boat she was when they turned down their husbands' request for oral sex . . .
Gordy9911:43PMMay 4th 2008
Dear John,
It is crystal clear that you are a flag pin wearing, neo-conservative, Patriot. And this is ok, it's your right to voice your opinion.
However John, Their are considerably more open minded, youthful, intelligent, motivated, and Constitution fearing individuals who, (have you noticed) are sick and tired at whats wrong with this country.
And guess what!!
We will still stand by Obama the Parishoner, and not Wright, the man behind the Pulpit.
Enough is Enough...
One last thing John, You should stay on the brainwashed train of the Mainstream Media...you deserve that garbage.
Signed,
No more politicks of fear
