Can someone please explain to me why everyone is shocked by Wright?

[The Backlash Cometh]

I am so perplexed by this. The dilbert looking guy on MSNBC is acting like he's never heard anything like this before. Are right-wingers trying to diffuse black outrage?

Remember, one of the first things they did to diffuse Liberals was to scoff at the Liberal's claims of class warfare, and when the Liberals allowed themselves to be declawed, the right passed policies which put an end to public assistance programs for the poor, increased taxes for the middle class, and tax write-offs for the rich. It was, afterall, class warfare.

So, should blacks and other minorities be a bit miffed at the Angry White Men who have been trying to vilify blacks and other minorities over the last ten years? I mean, get real people. Why are you letting these right-wing idiots frame this issue?

1. You mean like Tucker Carlson and Pat Buchanen??

They make me so sick.

2. Someone needs to go through the old newsreels from the 90s

and listen to right-wing radio to get all the hate talk that the right-wing spouted out on a daily basis. Jesus Christ. Did they ever listen to the shit they were saying? Did they ever REALLY listen to it?

3. I believe any RW "shock" is faux!~ It's all an act to get ratings!

They do it to get ratings, which it pretty pathetic too but they are pathetic anyway.

What I find ridiculous is that CBS and NBC evening news just HAD to replay

parts of Wright's speeches while only playing snippets of Obama's speech today.

And then they use that fake, 'I'm just so concerned', tone of voice. :puke:

6. Well, the RW pundits may be putting out a show, but our side needs

to call their bluff. Turn it around and say, Why are you all surprised? How didn't you see this coming with all the hateful things you all have been saying to us all these last few years. We're Americans too. Didn't we count?

4. Some of us have never heard people we are trying to be friends with talk like that.

Most surprising, OK shocking, is that we got to meet Wright through one of only two contenders we have left for the Democrats for this election.

5. Then those people need to turn off American Idol.

7. LOL!

8. It's called fake outrage.

These tapes are not new. They have been sitting on this for months now. They just needed something else to cover... If there is no news, then you just make it up.

9. It's a high-tech lynching.. Its total BS... The MSM is trying

to destroy Obama.. Blacks are held to a different standard..

Did they go after McCain with the sex/corruption scandal that the NYT exposed?
Hell No.. It was killed in 36 hours.. COMPLETELY !

Total double standard !..What about the praise by McCain for the mad man, racist bastard John Hagee !!.. Not a word from the MSM... This shit is an organized attack on Obama... and personally I KNOW it is a republican , racist, conservative attack !!
