The Senate run-off in Georgia is heating up with a new ad exposing Georgia US Senate candidate Raphael Warnock’s support of Obama’s ex-pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Republican candidate Kelly Loeffler just aired an ad (see video below) where Warnock praises Wright after his controversial “God Damn America” sermon surfaced when Obama first ran for president in 2008.  The Obama campaign worried that the hateful sermon would hurt Obama’s chances to win the presidency. Who can forget the shock at the hateful sermon delivered by Obama’s reverend:

“No, no, no, not God bless America, God damn America, that’s in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating her citizens as less than human, God damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God, and she is supreme.” 

Warnock was “dispatched” to do damage control and to defend Rev. Wright. He appeared on Fox News to discuss the 2003 video of Wright: “We celebrate Rev. Wright in the same way that we celebrate the truth-telling tradition of the black church, which when preachers tell the truth, very often it makes people uncomfortable.”
