20 years too late Barry.

any good quotes?

Are their any members of THE Black Church here who wish to comment?

Is registration still open?

Obama's speech was the bravest, most eloquent statement on race relations on America we have seen in our lifetime.

GAAAAAAAAH

Okay, I managed to pry that chip out of my neck. What the hell was I saying?

Watch that whiplash! Its' bad for the Spine!

The Obama candidacy will set race relations bak 50 years.

He's 1/2 white

both groups can disavow him

maybe something will thereby be salvaged

re: #5 MandyManners

Registration's open? I'll pop the popcorn, but it's too early for a beer.

I love Obama acting like he didn't know anything when he's been recorded giving Wright a glowing introduction. So he's admitting he lied when he said all those nice things about Wright because he couldn't possibly known the man well enough to know if they were true or untrue.

The fact it's taken him this long is telling. Not that I needed anymore evidence that Obama has no business even running for president, much less being elected.

Is it too much to ask for some degree of journalistic integrity from MSNBC?

re: #8 Mazeman

It has already done that. When all is said and done I think we will find race relations to be worse than they have been at any time since the War Between the States.

and the LLL call W slow? 20 years to figure out Wright's character? This guy thinks we the people are so dumbed down and mesmerized by his brilliance that we'll let him piss on our toes and tell us it's raining.Condescending little prick.

The previous thread about Barack Obama’s belated disavowal of Reverend Jeremiah Wright is approaching 500 comments, so here’s another thread to discuss.

Well, I'm late to the party today. Be back after I read the previous thread, heh...

Very few people would benefit from that.

re: #14 kynna

Obama is having a Daley Moment. That happens when Da Mayor is caught in the middle of something and goes on air to deny it. For some odd reason, the gambit works since it provides a diversion.

Watch for more of these as the election season continues. It occurs in Illinois all the time. Both Daley and Blago do it!

Wright is a Malcolm X wannabe; a Black Panther fist in Jesus sandals.

Not if it's firmly rejected. And to hell with anyone who screams that it's racism. I've watched all those videos of Wright in action, and listened to the cheers of his congregation; that's racism and self-pity in full cry.

re: #41 jorline

Don't be so certain. Obama is a snake like most of his Illinois Combine comrades. Saw a poll this morning on NBC-5 (WMAQ-TV) that showed over 50% of people claimed that the whole Wright episode would not affect Obama's candidacy.

What you are seeing now is what has been going on in Illinois for the better part of four decades, and in Chicago itself since the early 1930s. Obama is a product of this Machine, this Combine, and acts the part.

Another One Rides the Bus

Rev. Wright makes me ashamed to call him a fellow Marine.

We all have flaws.. countries have them too. Is this nation perfect? Of course not. Our flaws have been well documented. But America, which provides so much opportunity to all, and has given Wright such extraordinary blessings during his life.. for him to constantly pick at the scabs at the expense of all that is good is such a tragedy. If it was only about Wright and his coming book, and his million dollar palace out with Whitey, we could only shake our heads and mutter about his ignorance and hypocrisy. But the influence he has on younger generations of black people is so profoundly detrimental, he and others who spew his form of bile are just plain evil.

Rev. Wright... go F**ck yourself.

i'm looking forward to wright's rebuttal.

re: #49 Mazeman
