Title: Rev. Wright Getting $1.6 Million Retirement Home
Post by: TheSarge on March 27, 2008, 07:10:53 PM
This was supposed to be the week that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. returned to the pulpit to preach for the first time since his anti-American sermons generated nationwide outrage and drew condemnation from his longtime parishioner, Barack Obama.

But, citing security concerns, Wright canceled his speaking engagements in Florida and Texas. A spokeswoman at his former church in Chicago said his schedule is pending.

A two-week FOX News investigation, however, has uncovered where Wright will be spending a good deal of his time in retirement, and it is a far cry from the impoverished Chicago streets where the preacher led his ministry for 36 years.

FOX News has uncovered documents that indicate Wright is about to move to a 10,340-square-foot, four-bedroom home in suburban Chicago, currently under construction in a gated community.

While it is not uncommon for an accomplished clergyman to live in luxury, Wright’s retirement residence is raising some questions.

“Some people think deals like this are hypocritical. Jeremiah Wright himself criticizes people from the pulpit for middle classism, for too much materialism,” said Andrew Walsh, Associate Director of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life with Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.

Instead of saying g.d, America, he should be saying thank God America that a racist huckster like me can make a fortune off the backs of the suckers that made all this possible.

This dood is a frackin racist.   plain and simple,''

Hey "reverend Wright", read the Bible again bro.

We are all in this together.   We are ALL going to have to answer to God.

God doesn't care if you are WHITE, BROWN, PURPLE , OR BLACK.
