First time I have ever disagreed with KO's Worst Person selection
   
I have always liked Jeremiah Wright. And I agree with most of what he says. But I understand why Obama had to separate himself from Wright. He's just too extreme and those voters in the middle never would have voted for Obama if he was still attending Wright's church. I get that.

Yes the stuff he said about the Jews keeping him from talking to Obama is crazy.

But Wright is right about the ethnic cleansing in Gaza. And AIPAC.

Ok, flame on. Popcorn being served.

1. Once you start throwing around how Jews 'control things', you are worst persons list.

That's right, no bashing of Olber-dork allowed at DU.

3. Yes... you're not an anti-semite. You just don't like Israel. I've heard THAT before..   Updated at 10:57 PM
   
... from people who have teetered on the edge of my ignore list for about as long as you have.

I'm putting you on my ignore list.

I wasn't sure for a very long while, but now I am.

Bye!

18. You don't read very well, huh?
   
Go **** yourself. "Israel" is NOT synonymous with "Jew."

I said I agree with the OP ... I like Wright even though he's got some glaring faults. His strengths outweigh his faults, imho.

That said, there's not much of a difference between what Wright (POORLY) said and the positions espoused by Rabbi Michael Lerner regarding the I/P conflict. I fully agree with and have a great deal of respect for Lerner, the NSP, and Tikkun. I regard the Likuddites in the same way I regard the neocons ... detestible.

If anyone wants to see that thread in all its glory, you might want to hurry.  It is bound to be locked and/or deleted soon.

If Israel was made of of nothing but cheddar cheese those asshats would find a way to hate it.

43. Thanks. I like Rev. Wright, I'd go to church to hear him speak, too.  He's totally outrageous -- I have a fondness for outrageousness in the service of justice and truth.

Uh huh.  "I like me a good f**k whitey rant as much as the next person.  Sho nuff."

Wherefore art thou, TomInTib?

[franksolich]

Oh wow.

The dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher and the skumbag primitive have a spat.

Both by the way are two of the only three drek primitives, the lowest tier of primitivity on Skins's island, the most absolute sordid and tawdry.

And so now the skimbag primitive has the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher on "ignore."  If one isn't aware of this, the skumbag primitive has the longest "ignore" list of all the primitives.

They're made for each other.

the scarlet woman tries to get some.........

35. I've got your back, TN. 

I'll take your front, too, if you'd like. (smiley)

I see the TahitiNut primitive admitted he'd attend a chuch where Jews are bashed on a weekly basis.  Not surprising, he's said other comments I've noted in the past about how he basically wished Israeli Jews would be drown in the sea.
