Gingrich: Wright May Be Deliberately Trying to Hurt Obama
« on: April 29, 2008, 08:46:24 AM »
"Could it be that this jerk is looking to start massive race riots when Obama is denied either the nod as the front runner or the office of POTUS ?After all he hates America enough to want it in flames ,Think about it, all of his actions point in that direction and Louis Farrakhan would love it !!  "

ABC News' Nitya Venkataraman Reports: In a Tuesday appearance on Good Morning America, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., suggested that controversial pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright is angry with parishioner Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and may be deliberately trying to hurt his presidential bid.

Saying that Wright "went out of his way to weaken Obama" during Monday's address at the National Press Club, Gingrich told Barbara Walters "I think Reverend Wright has a greater interest in his self-importance."

Gingrich described Obama former pastor as "hard-line anti-American", and said "if Rev. Wright continues to talk that the burden that Sen. Obama carries becomes bigger and bigger. "

Gingrich described Obama's challenges as "two-fold", citing "left-wing relationships" calling the Illinois senator "disingenuous" about them.

Gingrich also referenced complications in the path to the Democratic nomination via Michigan and Florida. (Both states were stripped of convention delegates for holding their primaries too early in the 2008 process.)

"I don't see how they're going to have a convention and not have the fourth biggest state in the country represented," Gingrich told Walters.

Gingrich said "at the rate things are going" come November the winner might "not necessarily" be a Democrat.
