Ah....where's that video, "And slowly I turned...."?

Good

I admire the black guy who had joined their protest. Blacks get a lot of crap from the bomb throwers when they go against the orthodoxy of perpetual complaint and victimization. The only reason that Obama is not rejected by the orthodoxy is that he co-opted it by joining Wright's church for Southside Chicago Street Cred.

I wonder if he even saw them.

Hi Ma! I have to say I was very glad to see the people protest weren't Hillary's people and not all of them were white. I wonder why some of Write's supporters though it pertinant to yell 'Long live Palistine'? What does that have to do with anything?

re: #11 coquimbojoe

Goodness gracious, PIMF!

Even MSNBC sees the damage that Rev. Wright is inflicting on Obama's campaign:

There's still plenty of room under the bus, Senator Obama

*** You’re so vain, you probably think this campaign is about you: After addressing the NAACP yesterday in Detroit, Jeremiah Wright travels to the heart of the media beast -- the National Press Club in DC -- where he has been speaking this morning. At this point, no matter one's political inexperience, Wright has to know he's not helping his friend; his decision to go public and defend his reputation at this point in the campaign is doing nothing to help Obama, if anything, it's leading some to believe he's actually trying to sabotage him. He's hurting him and hurting him very badly. Frankly, it’s as selfish of a move as we've seen in some time. Imagine, for example, if Norman Hsu or Vicki Iseman were doing publicity tours right now. Maybe, if there's a silver lining for Obama, he's giving Obama a very easy chance to simply walk away. Remember, Obama didn't toss Wright under the bus, but Wright appears to be doing that to Obama’s candidacy. Still, if Wright Vol. 1, “bitter,” and Pennsylvania didn’t move superdelegates, what will? Nevertheless, Obama seems to be starting off this week in about as bad of shape as we've seen in him in some time.

re: #11 coquimbojoe

Utterly, utterly without reason....the whole thing....

Wrightm isn't running for public office, and clearly he loves the attention.

Meanwhile Obama is stuck with this albatross around his neck, since he refuses to dissociate himself from Wright.

As I see it, the more Wright foams at the mouth, the worse for Obama.

Look, even if he had disassociated himself from the get go from this stooge, the fact still remains and cannot be erased that he has sat and listened to this man's hateful screed 52 weeks a year for twenty years - more than 1000 times! There is no way that any claim that he "didn't know about Wright's views" could hold the first drop of water.

In fact, Obama clearly agrees with Wright, no matter what his mouth says. He has had his precious children indoctrinated into Wright's hateful and hate-filled philosophy from the day they were born!

I wonder how much was generated by wright mocking JFK's accent. Sure, we have Mayor Quimby on the Simpson's for a reason, but teddy and caroline went to bat for BOH.

You don't have to convince me. Nothing Obama says can erase his decades long association.

That's not my point. The point is, the more noise this clown Wright makes, the worse it is for Obama.

So I say grab the popcorn and let him keep blabbing on. Let *everyone* see EXACTLY what kind of lunatic Obama has been hanging with for 20 years, is STILL hanging with, and let them see it every day until the election.

But I still think the man is a disgrace who uses communism (liberation 'theology') and race for self-promotion and to divide good American people. I think most people, regardless of their intellect, regardless of whether they take Mr. Wright's statement's out of context, regardless of whether they can understand the subtlety of his oration, know the man is asinus stultissimus.

re: #52 Endangered in MASS

Hmmm.....Keith Ellison, IIRC, didn't even bother to do that much.....

I was listening to Rush, and he made a very good point about Rev Wright. If Obama wins the nomination then it's bad news for JW. He can't keep selling his brand of racist hate anymore because JW needs Obama to loose to keep him in business so he can use it as an example of being right all along.

Racist Farrakhans bodyguards protecting Wright. It's in the last inning and Obama is fading faster and faster.

Obama has only tax-payer funded Secret Service agents at his side. But the Rev. Wright is now accompanied by Nation of Islam henchmen, in stark contrast to the security detail visible during the Pope’s recent visit. How odd that a Christian pastor requires the security protections of Islam... Wasn’t it Islamic Jihadists who attacked our nation not so long ago?

* * *
BHO's Bridge to Nowhere.

(Bill Clinton vowed to build the bridge to the 21st century, remember!

Took a look over at AMerican Thinker at Obama's Voluntary compulsary national service plans.
He wants Peace Corps to be doubled in size and be open to other nationalities. Apart from the point that it's to get Americans out there, a different perspective CAN be useful, even at the village level, any country that has a population inclined to volunteering already HAS a volunteer corps, modelled on Peace Corps. England, Canada, Japan, Denmark and so forth. Even the United Nations has the U.N. Volunteer program (UNV), though as one would suspect, their pay looks more like a real salary and it's really entry level. A problem with such systems is that Peace Corps in the USA as an option means GIVING UP the cushy life for a while. In another country, as in most Third World countries with high unemployemnt, it's a PLUM JOB. Heck, in Europe, an international posting even on what we would consider a low salary is a great deal, too. Their unemployment rates are high, too. It makes for an odd mix - idealistic Westerners versus someone with high, usually family connections. It would also be a sneaky way to insinuate more jihadis around - shifty regimes using their rolls to get pay and relocation for their radicals.

Obama is soaked in what is already screwing up the schools, FORCING kids to "volunteer" in busy work, called "community service," which like all the other prison terms that schools have adopted, like "lock-down" and "weapons screening," is actually a term that means a legal punishment of "community service hours" in lieu of jail time, but in the schools is supposed to be enriching "volunteering."

Sum of it - the impression is that Obama wants to enslave the entire productive population of the United States via forced labor at bureaucrat-concocted work. It would of course devastate real volunteering.

ANd all this talk about an international Peace Corps with other nationalities is a sign that Obama is a Global Man, a ONE World Government Guy. He bee-bopped around the globe, he has no real affinity for the USA as a nation, and has easily bought into the borderless world. Isn't that what the no flag pin issue is really all about? He thinks global, not national. He would not protect AMerica's right to be an independent nation.

The scary thing about Obama is that he's young enough to keep running for President for the next two decades easily.

Rev. Wright’s Traveling Circus

Could this latest round or Obama’s nightmares be preplanned? We have seen he is not beyond such political tricks- think back to the fainting supporters earlier in the campaign. The situation always followed the same script- and I do mean script. Five events, five fainters, five times Obama reacts the same way- right down to his words. Are the latest of Wright’s antics more of the same?

It's quite possible Mr. Wright (I refuse to use the honorable term "Reverend" for the man) is working for Obama in this capacity to stir up the progressive base.

re: #116 taxfreekiller

Aw, gee, tfk, what a guy! :)

I found this article about Obama from 2005:

After perusing the year-end (Dec. 27/Jan. 3) issue of Newsweek, I defy any editor there to deny this magazine is a mouthpiece for the political left. Their cover boy was Senator-Elect Barack Obama of Illinois, the "rising star," as the Democrats and so many admirers in the press have dubbed him.

But Obama wasn’t the only senator profiled in the magazine’s "Who’s Next Issue." After the loving cover story on staunchly liberal Obama, a "news" report authored by Jonathan Alter (usually their predictably leftist in-house columnist), Newsweek reporter Howard Fineman profiled staunchly conservative Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. The contrast between the two stories, both in tone and in content, could not be more obvious.

Start with the headlines. Obama’s profile was headlined "The Audacity of Hope." Santorum’s was "Mister Right." One represented hope, while the other typified firm ideology. While Obama would "help his party relocate its moral core," Santorum was "hard at work spreading the GOP gospel," and his "crusades" might make him a White House contender. The divergent themes were already obvious: Obama would bring moderation and yet "spirituality" to the Democrats, while Santorum threatened the GOP and the country with religiously fervent right-wing dogma.

The photos framing the stories told a similar tale. Obama was shown on a Chicago rooftop with the caption "Skywalker." Santorum was shown in his office next to his picture of "Roman Catholic martyr Thomas More." On his office TV was a Fox News Channel graphic on schools excluding Christ from Christmas. The caption was "Bully Pulpit."

Soros as a Hungarian who should know how communists slaughtered Hungarians during the poor Hungarians' attempts to throw off the USSR's totalitarian regime of 50 years, was obviously a traitor against his own people's freedom then & now.

These people hate our hard won freedoms and think our liberty and truly Open Society *is a bad thing.

What does "Palestine" have to do with the Rev Wright debate?

She's yelling it at a Joo.

So, she really doesn't like, or probably even know anything about, or has ever been to, "Palestine."

She doesn't even know why she wants "Palestine" to live.

You can only assume she was doing it to show her hatred of the Joos.

Revered Wright so loves the Black Community that he is headed to an upscale White area.
It is a gated, golf course community. How would you like to get stick in. a foursome with him?

The other possibility is that this is planned to bring race riots.
Wright makes sure no thinking person will vote for Obamanation, and then when he loses, it "proves" we're all racist. NOI and the black victimhood churches stir up riots.
Various rich oil countries supply money to the poor disenfranchised blacks (NOI and Wright already have ties to Libya), and as things settle down, they get a bought and paid for bloc to vote for those who would bring Sharia to the US.

Maybe I'm exaggerating.

The Unrev says the non-existent Saddam WMD's were sold to Saddam by the USA.

re: #123 Kosh's Shadow

Soros thinks he won't get thrown under the bus, too.
Sorry, George; communism means they take from the rich and give to the politburo. And they take from the middle-class and give to the poliburo, and from the poor and give to the politburo.
It would be justice for Soros, but the rest of us would get screwed, too.

He thinks he'll be ok - he's supporting the new states which formed after the break-down of the Soviet Union.

Now there are a couple American guys who could take him on, wealth wise ... but they are probably too American to misuse their wealth to play politics with?

Did anyone else catch Wright's reference to "European Americans?" Between the exaggerated body language the pseudo intellectual tripe and fake biblical reference it's safe to say that this guy is off.

re: #73 galloping granny

Reports have it that Obama used campaign funds to pay a pretty high powered firm to represent Wright of late. I wonder if he is paying for the NOI goons too?

Just curious. Where did you hear that?

Rev Wright is probably no more than 40% African if that.

I am not saying ihe is not authentically "black." I am saying his genetic stuff is absurd and even on the culture side, many of the composites of what is taken as black American culture are Welsh, Irish, Scottish, ie Anglo-ethnic, as well as Native American. I am also from a Chigago Wright family (not sure if same one but mine is abotu same complexion) and they are as much Lakota as they are West African).

So, there.

re: #80 wanumba
The scary thing about Obama is that he's young enough to keep running for President for the next two decades easily.

Not as scary as it seems. Obama's best chance is now.

In another 8 years Obama will actually have a national Senate voting record that will follow him around, and if he remains true to form, it will be the most liberal voting record in the Senate, rendering him unelectable.

Also, while the Republicans, as befitting a nominally "Conservative" party, traditionally require their candidate to run once and LOSE the nomination, before being granted it (McCain being a good example), the situation is the opposite for the Dems.

Usually they like a fresh new face to get the nod. Dems who lose the nomination process once generally don't get a second chance.

Unfortunately what this election does for Obama (even if he loses), is fill his war chest up to the brim, and gives him tons of national stature. He's now a shoe in for his State as Senator indefinitely, (or at least until de-railed by major scandal).

re: #131 godfrey

Jerry Wright is a huckster like any other. The focus here is on Obama, who was a sucka for it.

Obama isn't qualified for any executive office.

Agreed.
Of note, Obama actually hasn't *held* any executive office.

WOW, between the woman yelling "Long live Palestine", and the random moonbat ranting incoherently, and kicking at the crowd like an idiot, you can just feel the eloquence, the intelligence, and the good will and love everyone attitude oozing of the Good Rev. Wright's and Senator Obama's supporters. Hillarys supporters, for that matter. All you have to do to sink these idiots is quietly step back, turn on the cameras, open the mikes, and let them speak to their hearts content...

re: #127 Nevergiveup

Well, I suspect a lot of the reverends parishioners are in a cult, the cult of victimization. You can't explain why the guy who is so anti-white American is being given a house in a gated, mainly white community and still have the brethren supporting him. He's leaving the 'hood, after all.

not too terribly far off. I still think Wright is setting himself up to be the third leg of the "we are oppressed, please contribute to my PAC" triumvirat, so as to set himself up for life! It's obvious he doesn't give a tinker's damn about hussein, but this will insure his face time and continued lifestyle lonnnng after he leaves his "church"...

I also like this part of the article:

Alter the "reporter" also added his own praise, with lines like "his expert grasp of foreign policy helped him bolt from the pack." In Santorum’s article, there were no wives or friends or favorable colleagues. Only one fellow GOP senator was quoted, anonymously chiding Santorum that he’ll need to say no to the conservative base to make legislation.

Obama was lauded as the "incredibly pragmatic" soul of civility who is "uniquely qualified to nudge the country toward the color purple" (merging the red states and blue states). He was all about "embracing our hybrid origins and transcending our often narrow-minded past."(Clinging) But Santorum was consistently described with violent undertones. His career has been a "bruising crusade" supported by anti-abortion "shock troops." He is a "cultural militant," and a "heat-seeking missile" with a "combatively devout approach."

For Dem Nomination.

This is still Obama's race to lose, and Wright is doing it for him.

I can't envision a scenario where the rants of Wright can help Obama. Even if Wright is being handled and message-managed by Obama-ites, I can't see how these screeds, masquerading as religious thought, can be parlayed into a PR victory by Obama.

This looks like a train wreck.

Indeed.

Christianity was imposed on slaves by their European American owners.

This is why they have to make it a "Black" Christianity, because otherwise, their whole existence is illegitimate.

Another interesting bit is the obsession Trinity has with blackism. Their online bookstore is a smorgasborg of historical revisionism, probably vaporized by now. One of my favorites is their proud insistance that the ancient Egyptians were all black.OK, if that is so, then how do they explain Egypt's enslavement of other humans.Sick sick folk.A cult imho.

re: #119 galloping granny

The transcript is posted at Fox - linkie at top left of first screen.

Thank you.
Yes.
The Proverb says (at 17:28)
Even dunces who keep quiet are thought to be wise;
as long as they keep their mouths shut, they're smart.
The Message ( paraphrased Bible version)

In word-for-word it actually says:
Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent! Young's Literal Translation.

Wright said it says:
[I]t is better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

But he is confusing Mark Twain with Scripture!
He put it:
~ It is better to remain quiet and thought a fool than to open mouth and remove all doubt. - Mark Twain ~

Pretty sad.
I wonder if he knows what term Mark Twain used to refer to people of color? LOL

Or maybe he is mixing up Abe Lincoln with Scripture....because it is also attributed to honest Abe!

Or, maybe the writer George Eliot.
Or Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Or, or, or....

re: #154 Ben Hur

I don't follow that at all.

Either Christianity is legitimate or it isn't.

If so, it can be adopted.

If not, whatever religion preceeded it (African Spiritualism?) can be re-adopted to replace it, or another substitute can be chosen.

I'm probably not qualified to make the determination, but I would imagine that whatever strain of "Afrocentric" religious thought Wright is preaching, it probably can't be traced linearly back to either pre-Christian African belief or to slave-owners religious practice. It may have some elements of those beliefs (as any nominally Christian practice would with any other), but its probably significantly different and from a different "place".

They don't have a problem with chattel slavery (or socialism) as long as its someone else who being enslaved. They do have a problem with people who escape slavery, like the Jews. And they do have a problem with people who fight slavery, like Republicans.

And that, of course, is complete nonsense and only serves to tie them more strongly than ever to their past slavery. Which is why guys like Wright trade on it so effectively.

re: #161 vagabond trader

Oh absolutely. Along those lines is their reason "successful" minorities cannot be classified as minorities, Jews and Asians for instance.Man, talk about bitter.

The word "minority" itself is somewhat slippery. To be a NON-minority does your group have to comprise greater than 50% of the population?

IE are Italian-Americans a "minority" or not? I think by any measure, they comprise only a small fraction of the population.

In Texas, Hispanics comprise greater than 50% of the population. So how are they "minority"?

Reminds of me that movie "Dukes of Hazzard", which I saw recently. Pretty atrocious movie, and I wouldn't recommend it, but it did have a few pretty wry parts.

In one scene, some bypassers called the Duke boys in their Confederate flag decorated car "rednecks", and then one of them replied "we prefer the term 'Appalachian Americans' ".

Interesting.

Though unless you think Reverend Wright's teaching falls into that tradition, I'm not sure how it applies to him!

If Wright were a run-of-the-mill Catholic, or even a Copt, this thread wouldn't exist, and nobody would be talking about him with respect to Obama.

re: #156 mean Gene

I heard another scripture mistake Wright made. In one of his answers (at the press corp), he referred to our government that is like a brood of asps.

Jesus was talking to the Pharisees in that passage, i.e. the religious leaders during his time. Jesus did not bother himself rebuking governmental officials while he was on earth (i.e. the Roman government).

Wright takes scriptures out of context and then accuses others as taking him out of context. I'm beginning to wonder if he even knows scripture.

Oh well, at least he's making lots of money.

re: #167 looking closely

It wasn't my point at all to defend the indefensible Rev. Wright. I was trying to say Christianity is an African religion, as much as it is a religion of any land. Wright does not "own" Christianity for African Americans.

re: #125 ted

The espousal of racial theories on intelligence, ability etc. shows Wright to be a dangerous, delusional ignorant racist of the lowest form.

right now racist groups like the klan and nazis are working on how to use this crazy shit to cause trouble.
wright is a dangerous lunatic.

People talk about how brave Wright is for speaking his mind, it doesn’t take bravery to parrot the standard line, Kevin and Cobie were the bravest two people on that sidewalk this morning for sticking to what they believe in the face of the biases of the spittle-slinging mad dogs who just applauded on cue to the weakly hidden racist remarks of an opportunist who found a way to bamboozle his flock.

Just like Ayers and Dohrn, he reaps the rewards of the very capitalism they scorn. Those two also live in a very upscale neighborhood. Why aren't they all squatting in communal corrugated tin shacks and living the life of true socialists? Hmm?

Unbelievable.

Obama is a bridge builder - who else could bring the extreme left and the fringe left together with such aplomb?

Maybe he's bringing the Marxists and the Nation of Islam kids together? Somebody had to do it, and bless him, he's their guy.

Well while Wright threw Obama's campaign under the bus he still has a great future.

Consider a brokered democratic convention, that turns to... Reverend Wright. He does reflect a lot of their views on this country after all.

Or... when Libya's leader decides to retire he could fill Qaddafi's shoes. He's sufficiently loony to do so.

BTW, I still think Wright's new friends are named Clinton.

Maybe if Barry wins the General Election, the Reverend Wright will swear him in.

Kind of like both of them saying "ha, ha!"

Hugh Hewitt had his entire speech and the Q&A afterwards on his radio program that aired in Denver at 4pm. Who in the blazes sent that girl to ask the questions? She was NOT prepared, had NOT read his speeches, could NOT quote one thing correctly-- TwoWrongsWright made mincemeat out of her! Next time send in someone who is deeply read in Bible History and who KNOWS the exact words of that man.

He wiggled out of all the questions-- very nearly, with his smooth tongued villany and sophistry-- but one thing struck me as very very sad: He stated that HE answered to God, so he couldn't be a politician but he understood BHussein's stance as a politician and how politicians have to say whatever it takes.

Doesn't he think BHussein has to answer to God too? (rhetorical question only.)

As a pastor of a church, the REV should be telling his parishoners that THEY have to answer to God every day-- and even MORE SO, if they are in the government of this nation!

BHussein is a liar. He lies, lies, lies. And he learned it at the feet of the master (and I am NOT talking about Jesus.)

Over the past few days, I've come to the bizarre conclusion that Wright could be doing this purposely to INFLAME the black community. As repugnant as this seems, it also appears to be the only logical explanation to his continued vile 'speechifying', imho. Perhaps the Obama camp has some internal polling that shows an up tick in numbers after Wright's continued comments. ?

Hi Ma! I have to say I was very glad to see the people protest weren't Hillary's people and not all of them were white. I wonder why some of Write's supporters though it pertinant to yell 'Long live Palistine'? What does that have to do with anything?

It has to do w/the fact that Wright supports Hamas (&, therefore, Jew-killing).

If there were true justice in this world, Bernadine Dohrn and her spouse would be strung up a la Mussolini, with nice neat round holes between the eyes -- and for good measure, a meat fork jabbed into her stomach with a note attached that says "we have not forgotten".
