Aw, they want to rehabilitate Rev Wright

Rev Wright is not the vilian he has portrayed to be by the rethugs

during the 2008 election. He has not said things in his pulpit, where he no longer is, as negative as Billy Graham, Pat Roberts, and the list continues. If one took the time to actually study his life, he has more notables than MItt Rmoney who will say anything to be President. One day, this man needs to be absolved of the hatred that clearly destroyed his life.

2. That is correct. I made a point of watching Hannity last night to see what all the hubbub

concerning the new taped interview of Wright and book on Obama by this Klein guy was all about and it rendered me speechless. Everything Wright said made perfect sense, I saw nothing wrong in Obama calling him and what they talked about. Yet the right wing is spewing it like some law was broken, or some conspiracy thing. They even tried to characterize a proffered payment to shut him up as a bribe.

As usual, each time they got what they thought was something juicy out of Wright, the follow up question would explain things. For example, they were trying to make hay out of the fact that an Obama supporter offered to give Wright $150,000 to not speak at the NAACP event. When they dug further trying to get more juicy details of this Wright explained that it wasn't just the NAACP event, they wanted him to stop speaking publicly period. No speaking engagements at all. Wright said he asked them how was he to be able to provide for his family, daughter in college and what not, if he couldn't speak since that's how he made his money. In that context, it appears to me entirely appropriate to compensate him for lost wages if that's what they wanted to do. But Fox,
even after hearing that, went immediately to calling it a "bribe." They were sorely disappointed that Wright wouldn't say that Obama knew about the proffer, so they went on to declare how he HAD to know because the supporter who made the proffer was in Obama's "inner circle", blah blah blah. I've had to compensate people for missing out on their work if I needed to call them away from it. I have never had anyone refer to that as a "bribe." I've represented people in automobile accidents where, because they lost time from work, they were compensated for lost wages, but it's never been referred to as a "bribe."

You are definitely correct. A very bad injustice has been done to Reverend Wright and its a shame, but even Wright knows and understands why that is and that there is nothing that can be done about it.

What I found particularly maddening about their attempted use of Wright is how they paint him as toxic, but then when he says something they think they like, all of a sudden he is a credible witness beyond reproach.

3. no, but he's a piece of work. Why the **** did he spend 3 hours being

"interviewed" by Ed Klein?

Wright struck be as vindictive and petty 4 years ago and he still strikes me as being petty and vindictive.

4. The interview took place because he was brought intothe limlight from the intrusion into his life.

Is he the only person you could label as petty and vindictive? Mmmmmm. That sounds a lot like Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, a couple of journalist I watch each day and the list goes on. Rev. Wright did not deserve the hatred he received.

just like professor derrick bell. these attempts to morph obama into a black radical because he knows wright and bell are just laughable. but instructive because race is always a tool the rw uses to manipulate a WILLING audience. anyone who claims this is "post-racial" america is a god damn fool.

So you guys will be dusting off those youtube videos and showing America there's nothing there.

Right?

Please show the videos on how America had 9/11 coming and AIDS was engineered to kill blacks.

While you're at it have Cass Sustein saying how she wants the UN to occupy Israel.

Van jones can explain how 9/11 was an inside job.

And then there's Bill Ayers.


Do it, you pussies.

I'm struck at the inherent danger of cocooning oneself in an echo chamber.  They take a mindset, parrot it back to each other, and they all feel good because it gives them the impression that the whole world feels the way they do. 

Then all of a sudden, they get a sinking feeling with such things as Wisconsin.  They never see shit coming.

I think that this is Rev. Wright's intention.  I have to say that I wish him luck in his endeavor. :yahoo:

Last election Wright was offered $150k to stay quiet. He held out, maybe this election will pay off BIG.

Billy Graham? Excuse me, because maybe I missed something; Remind me of any occasions Billy Graham has said anything even remotely negative/ controversial, let alone as blatantly racist, vicious, and hate- filled as half of Wright's sermons.
I've only ever known Graham to be a simple, gentle evangelist who's sought to positively influence others for the Kingdom, and done a good job of it..

You have to understand the DUmmie mind, MB.

BECAUSE Graham IS a man of God, he IS racist, vicious, hate-filled, homophobic, narrow-minded, anti-abortion, a fundamentalist who thinks ALL women should be chained to a stove, barefoot and pregnant, servants of man.

He is a senator from Kansas (He is a republican) - From reading his bio, he seems like a cool dude. As for the rest, I think he meant Pat Robertson, the host of the 700 club.
