So Wright was Invited to the White House in the 90s?

[redstate_democrat]

SEPT 11, 1998 in honor of religious leaders.

Let's look at Hillary's schedule to see if she was at the WH that day

:rofl:

Interesting story here: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E04E5DD1631F932A2575AC0A96E958260

The speech he gave that day asking for FORGIVENESS for Monica Lewinsky...using the clergy!

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the White House and to this day to which Hillary and the Vice President and I look forward so much every year.

This is always an important day for our country, for the reasons that the Vice President said. It is an unusual and, I think, unusually important day today. I may not be quite as easy with my words today as I have been in years past, and I was up rather late last night thinking about and praying about what I ought to say today. And rather unusual for me, I actually tried to write it down. So if you will forgive me, I will do my best to say what it is I want to say to you -- and I may have to take my glasses out to read my own writing.

First, I want to say to all of you that, as you might imagine, I have been on quite a journey these last few weeks to get to the end of this, to the rock-bottom truth of where I am and where we all are.

EDIT: Hillary was there!

[K Gardner]

1. Oh lord, LOL.

[Life Long Dem]

3. Yeah, and what's your point?

Wright is a great preacher. edit: :sarcasm:

[redstate_democrat]

6. I am making a point.

I KNOW he is a great preacher. This whole fiasco is "typical" and "stupid" to me.

Edit: And Obama has this in the bag. NO sarcasm

:rofl:

[jconner27]

89. No point more just more shit

[AlbertCat]

193. Amen!

Yes, more Preacher crap.

Who cares about these self-appointed moralists who are not supposed to influence their congregations' political choices....directly anyway. Black or white, preachers are useless. Why give these actors who read too much into ancient texts and who whip up emotional frenzies in other people who should know better.... why give them such authority?
I'm sick to death of Faith based anything having to do with this election. Sure, you can't get religion to go away completely but since the Repugs cynically courted the Fundie Christian nut vote it's just gotten out of hand. Enough already!

[NedSchneebly]

266. Authority? Preachers don't have any authority ...

unless you are talking about "By the authority vested in me by the state of ____, I now pronounce you ..."

[niceypoo]

163. Obama supporters get more and more bizarre every day

[StClone]

168. RIIiiiight.

:shrug:

[Johnny Battleground]

227. They took their stupid pills this morning, and they worked!

This is super dumb.
Anyone can see it is an attempt at deflection, and worse yet it confirms that Wright was toxic material.

This only makes the Obama campaign look more ridiculous.
Grade school stuff.

STOP IT!

[fascisthunter]

273. yes... Your Post is Stupid (nt)

[StClone]

166. There were Republicans that invited him too

To give talks and such. LOL!

My moniker now is TRUEBLU#1DEM4EVER post 645.

[PM7nj]

7. He's the devil to some...

He is the devil to some Clinton "supporters"

[K Gardner]

9. I agree ! And evidently Bill Clinton does, too.. :-)

[greguganus]

229. I bet the Big Dawg taught Wright his gyration move. n/t

[stillcool]

201. Who knew?

[anonymeme]

270. Good Question, Life Long Dem! + One Visit Does NOT = 20 Years of Listening to Rev Wright's Sermons!

Good Question, Life Long Dem! + One Visit Does NOT = 20 Years of Listening to Rev Wright's Sermons!

The Obamaniacs will stop at nothing to excuse their candidate and any of his friends or associates, if they can they'll some how twist it so that Wright is just a big, old, lovable teddy bear and Rezko only gave Obama all that money because he's really Santa Claus!

*UGH!* ~*:banghead:~*:banghead:~*:banghead:~*:banghead: ...:nuke:

[redstate_democrat]

4. AND

He was in the operation room with Lydon Baine Johnson during his heart surgery.

lol.

[K Gardner]

11. Some of these things may be why he is scheduled for a lifetime achievement award

next week. Go figure :-)

[Life Long Dem]

27. He has already won awards as was one of greatest preachers

Yeah, my previous post, I should have put the sarcasm up.

[redstate_democrat]

153. Jeremiah Wright in Hospital Room with LBJ!

[berni_mccoy]

2. Nice Find.

[LSparkle]

5. OMG! Great!

Couple this with the photos of Clintons with Rezko and ...

[Tellurian]

12. Funny, everybody wants to shake Bill Clinton's hand and take a pic w/him!

hypocrites...ALL!

[wileedog]

47. OMG what's Bill doing with that horrible racist!!!!!

Just too damn dunny

[JackORoses]

100. Bill Clinton must immediately reject and denounce that handshake.

[Tellurian]

103. Samr thing with Rezko, another of Obama's poor choice of friends and mentors..

[StClone]

169. Of the thousands Obama dealt with

And the best they can do is a Whitewater-esque smear job.

[MessiahRp]

203. Obama should denounce Rezko once the Clintons openly denounce the illegal Chinese donations

they have taken.

There's a good reason those tax returns will never be released.

Rp

[PoliticalAmazon]

137. Why hasn't he already done it? Why is Hillary not renouncing him?

[stillcool]

205. she already has.

[PoliticalAmazon]

277. When did HRC renounce her meeting with Rev. Wright?

Did she do it when her advisers were using Obama's relationship with Wright to try to convince the superdelegates to vote for her? How about any time during the time the press was hounding Obama about Wright?

Nope, she sat there like the lying hypocrite she is, capitalizing on Obama's relationship with Wright while she herself had met with Wright as First Lady.

[stillcool]

281. She had that little interview...

where she said Obama could not win the election because of Reverend Wright. I think she said Obama was unelectable and some other condescending word..."incompetent" maybe? Because of the Reverend. Sounds like 'denounce' to me. I hate this shit.

[me b zola]

162. Hypocrites all? No...

Just some Clinton supporters.

[stlsaxman]

241. Yeah even LBJ! He whispered to Rev. Wright just before the anesthesia kicked in-

"Now, you tell that 42nd president when you see him... tell him i said hi and i wish i could be there to shake his hand and take a pic w/ him. okay?"

Hypocrites all, indeed!

[fascisthunter]

275. Mr. NAFTA's Hand... not me (nt)

[K Gardner]

13. Yup.. wonder if we'll ever see THIS on the teevee ! Do we have Hill's schedule for that day?

Did she talk to him? It could be another black preacher scandal brewing? Did they not know how dangerous he is????!!

Inquiring Minds Want to Know !

[WCGreen]

63. Oh come on...

This was all before he God Damned America...

So it's Okay to have him as a guest...

Isn't it...

I mean does association time travel...

Inquiring minds want to know...

Wouldn't it be ironic if he slept in the Lincoln Bedroom....

[SoonerPride]

88. I thought he was ALWAYS controversial....you know the meme

Why was Obama a member of that black radical america hating church for 20 years?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

220. Bill likely didn't know (or care) what Rev. Wright, 1 of a 100 invited by WH aides

it wasn't the Clinton's that invited him. As with all public functions, the guests were hand picked by the President's staff. The simple fact is that Bill Clinton probably didn't know who was invited until the day before.

Or Bill Clinton and whatever aide invited him didn't know.

But hey, spin it as desperately as you can. I enjoy watching you spin yourself into a pretzel.

[Kber]

104. So Obama doesn't need to take flak for the full 20 years

and if someone was "OK" for 17 years, and then starts getting "not OK" towards the end of his career, do you walk out on him then?

Just asking?

[WCGreen]

117. I didn't set the rules...

It's Rush and the bunch that are setting the boundries...

Who the hell knows what he said before that...

[stillcool]

206. Maybe we should all take flak...

for what has been done to this man...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5185308

[PoliticalAmazon]

130. They have demonized this man--now they have to live with their association with him

But, of course, in Hillaryworld (which is a lot like BushJrWorld), others get criticized for what she herself is guilty of doing, and when she gets caught she lies and squirms and--if necessary--boohoos to spin it so that she is as innocent as the driven snow.

And her supporters buy it? I guess we know who were the Dems who voted for Bush Jr, no?

[JanusAscending]

175. It's on the 10P.M. Edition of Countdown

witih Keith O as I speak!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

195. just Utterly fucking shameless....

Obama is such a dispicable man.

He's actually using his own pastor as a political weapon against the Clintons?

Wow.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Whoops.

:rofl:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

196. So the rich white man president invites you to the big house and you still diss him & his wife......

Well that's nice.

[txaslftist]

242. Wow. I hope that was sarcastic.

[redstate_democrat]

10. How in God's name

did Wright get past the White House clearance by the FBI if he was the black nationalist separatists suicide bomber?

:sarcasm:

[Kber]

Obviously it shows how lax security was back then

also :sarcasm:

[mzmolly]

184. LOL

:rofl: Indeed, he should have been on someone's official "shit" list given his dangerous nature. ;)

[redstate_democrat]

14. Bill Clinton believes

God should damn America!

Oh Noes! Hillary is NOT electable come November.


LOL :rofl:

The Clintons threw Wright under the bus. They will DO and SAY anything to WIN.

[redstate_democrat]

90. The Speech he Gave that day

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the White House and to this day to which Hillary and the Vice President and I look forward so much every year.

This is always an important day for our country, for the reasons that the Vice President said. It is an unusual and, I think, unusually important day today.

Is this photo going to hit the media and do we get the back story?????

[Bullet1987]

18. No wonder they've been silent on this issue...they probably know him

Like they seem to know all Black preachers.

[redstate_democrat]

23. They love some black preachers

the Clintons that is...

:rofl:

[goclark]

131. They have been in many a Black Church

getting votes.

Remember her at the Baptist Church last year when she opened her remarks with, " I ain't in noooo ways tired."

Trying to sound like she was an African American.
We don't generally appreciate a non AA trying to talk like the gospel music. It doesn't sound right to most of our ears.


When I saw her do that I wanted to punch my TV.

That was before her true colors started to show.

[blm]

35. Silent in public, but pushing it behind the scenes with the superdelegates and

through their internet swarmers.

[MarjorieG]

83. I go further and say Bill and Murdoch probably planned Fox sending viral.

[blm]

98. Let's put Wright's words up against Hillary's pic holding Bush Knew headline on the

senate floor in May 2002 and see how that works for TeamClinton.

[ekwhite]

210. Not silent in public as of yesterday

Lanny Davis posted a smarmy hit piece about it on Huffington Post yesterday. I was willing to give the Clinton campaign the benefit of a doubt until I read his piece.

[Danger Mouse]

19. Oh man...this is beautiful.

:)

[LSK]

20. are they having a hate America off?

:hide:

[pdxmom]

21. I wonder if this was to add to the 3 Presidential Commendations Rev.

Wright had already recieved?

God, I hate hypocrites!

[sniffa]

22. SHAME ON YOU BILL CLINTON

k&r

[EFerrari]

28. How do you open a floodgate and what does one look like?

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

24. I knew somethng like this would come up.

He was clearly an influential person in Chicago and the Clintons would have tapped him.

[mattclearing]

25. No wonder Hillary's not publicly attacking on this. n/t

[Stephanie]

29. au contraire

Her advisors admitted it on a conference call - they're publicly pushing it with the SDs, who knows what else

[mattclearing]

31. Yeah...privately. n/t

[babylonsister]

62. Not so privately; her surrogates are yapping:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/20/clinton-surrogate-says-issues-over-wright-remain/

Clinton Surrogate Says Questions on Wright Remain Unanswered

WASHINGTON (CNN) – As the uproar has unfolded over Barack Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the Clinton campaign has remained tight-lipped on the issue.

Top advisors to the campaign and Clinton herself have repeatedly refused to comment on the controversy, even as polls indicate the issue may be hurting the Illinois senator politically.

But Lanny Davis, a former special counsel to President Clinton and prominent surrogate of the New York senator, tackles the issue head on in a posting published Wednesday afternoon on the liberal Web site Huffington Post.

In the brief posting, Davis calls Obama's speech on the issue Tuesday "brilliant," but he says the Illinois senator has yet to answer two questions on the controversy that presumptive Republican nominee John McCain "will insist be answered in the fall."

more...

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/20/clinton-surrogate-says-issues-over-wright-remain/

[SoonerPride]

30. No, but she's secretly using it to sway super delegates.

Oh the humanity

[redstate_democrat]

51. The NERVE of those Clintons

to use race baiting as a campaign tactic. Use the black church and then defecate on it for political gain?

Nooooo. Not the Clintons!

[PoliticalAmazon]

141. I long for the good ol' days when I was young innocent enough to believe ...

that Bush Jr was the most evil politician ever. But then Hillary decided she was entitled to be president, and Bush Jr's evil got bumped by an exponent.

[txaslftist]

243. A bit much, that. Hillary may have brought Dems a lot of shame...

recently with her campaign tactics, but worse than the Shrub?

That's a bit of hyperbole.

[PoliticalAmazon]

274. Yep--we've seen what GWB does as president...Hillary's potential is yet unknown but very scary

She already uses his worst campaign tactics, and she voted to endorse nearly all of his worst policies. Clearly, she thinks like him and supports the same things he does.

Her potential for evils is nearly limitless, and if she is this bad now, she would be a monster unchecked in the Oval Office.

Did you like the secrecy of the Bush administration? What do you think we'd get with HRC.

Did you like the scare tactics of the Bush administration? She's already used those in her campaign.

Did you like the secret meetings and the stonewalling about producing documents about them? Well, Hillary did that as First Lady and is doing it now in her campaign.

There is so much more, but I think you get my drift...

[peace frog]

154. Hello!

Ding ding ding ding ding! We have a winnah!

[Oilwellian]

26. Oh no!

Well that settles it. Clinton must agree with Wright when he said "God Damn America!" It IS guilt by association these days, Wright?

:rofl:

[zazzle]

247. Obama and Wright are wrong for America!

As an Edwards supporter - throughout this primary season I found Obama to be VERY deceptive on his war record and other issues.

Obama is an empty suit media creation - and we're now supporting Hillary.

[ClayZ]

262. You have been fooled!

Watch the whole sermon!

44. nahh

I prefer the future :)

[redstate_democrat]

45. The time for change

IS NOW.

65. Say It Ain't So

NOW is so NOW, but back then it was all warm and fuzzy, or so we thought! NAFTA wasn't impacting the country yet and Clear Channel was named Jacor and only owned a hundred stations.

[Leopolds Ghost]

149. And they hadn't killed Kurt Cobain yet.

They're called Conservatives.

[LulaMay]

39. What's your point? Truly, I'd like to hear you try and explain it.

[EFerrari]

43. The point seems to be clear here, LulaMay.

What part of "hypocrisy" or "political opportunism" are you having trouble with?

[LulaMay]

52. Really? What is it? Wright can be both defended & vilified by O supporters, depending on benefit?

Dumbest post today.

[americanstranger]

60. You've got that slightly backwards.

Wright can be both defended & vilified by the Clintons, depending on benefit.

There. Fixed.

- as

[EFerrari]

61. Way to avoid the topic.

Dishonesty in the long run doesn't work.

[Binka]

72. Wow I Agree Yours Is The Dumbest Post Of The Day

Did you pay extra for that OBTUSE gene?

[cui bono]

148. Do you both get it and & get it, depending on benefit?

Or did you really completely miss the mark with that post?

[polmaven]

173. I don't know with what part

LulaMay is having trouble, but I the part I'm having trouble with is ..WHAT HYPOCRISY?????

A handshake and a thank you note, after a prayer breakfast is the equivalent of 22 years of a mentor ship, officiating at his wedding and baptizing his children, and making him the spiritual adviser of the campaign?????

Is there ANYTHING in that story showing that they ever met again?

Please...help explain THAT part of Hypocrisy to me!

:shrug:

[EFerrari]

174. So you're STILL trying to demonize the Reverend Wright?

Still?

Holy cow.

[polmaven]

176. From WHERE do you get THAT?

Exactly where in my post did I "demonize" Rev. Wright? I was responding the the charge of hypocricy on the part of Senator Clinton's supporters denying the implication thata handshake compares to Senator Obama's relationship with him!

You do realize that that was a rather disconnected question, right?

[EFerrari]

182. Only if you still don't get it.

Wright is a treasured pastor to the congregation he built. Your knowledge of him consists of two minutes out of a thirty plus year career and those two minutes were chosen and spun by the rightwing media. And then flogged by the Clinton campaign who doesn't care what they destroy on their quest to capture the White House by any means.

What's really funny here is that Wright denounces the American government's predations on the people while Hillary Clinton's cult teaches that the elite Christians should rule the Earth.

And I thought irony was no longer possible.

[GeorgeGist]

285. Snake-oil salesmen ...

are always treasured by their suckers. Ironic isn't it!

[ClayZ]

261. Watch the whole sermon. Wright is right!

Bill and Hillary should have stepped up to the plate in his defense the minute Fox Noise put the "swiftboat" in the water.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvMbeVQj6Lw&eurl=http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/3/20/224958/631/841/481227

[fascisthunter]

287. Wright is right... I'm White and I Agree with Everything He Said

and didn't find anything offensive, but know why some white folks would.

[ClayZ]

288. I am an old, white, grandma.

I watched several, entire sermons of Dr. Wright, and I found him to be right on!

I don't understand why others would not want to see how they are being bamboozled by the soundbites!

ARGH!

[SoonerPride]

46. The point is Wright is not an evil person and for people to portray him as such is dumb

The Clinton's embraced him when it was convenient for them to do so and now use him as a wedge in trying to sway the super delegates.

That's the point.

They are politically craven.

[LulaMay]

67. "The Clinton's" did not vilify Wright, he did it to himself, and TAPED & sold it for 20$. Brilliant

[SoonerPride]

70. What? The point , lulumay, is that Clinton is using Wright to get at Supers

Meanwhile her hubby had him for lunch.



Surely you can get it.

[LulaMay]

74. If you think party leaders aren't be concerned about this of it's own accord, you are dead wrong.

[SoonerPride]

78. All the more reason to point out the HYPOCRISY of it all

One day Wright is honored at the white House, and the next anyone associated with him is too "radical" to be our nominee?

When both Obama and Clinton have close ties to the man, it is STUPID to try and use his words to dismantle EITHER campaign.

[polmaven]

179. Ok, there is so much here...

"Honored at the white house"? Was it a private lunch? Was he given some kind of an award?

anyone associated with him is too "radical" to be our nominee? Anyone? Is Senator Obama "Anyone"?

both Obama and Clinton have close ties to the man???? IT WAS A HANDSHAKE!!!! There is absolutely NO evidence in that story that they had ever met before or that the ever met afterward!

[LulaMay]

76. Is EVERYTHING her fault to some of you? It's going around the bend of ridiculous now to insane.

[SoonerPride]

80. Fault? No, but using the issue for her ADVANTAGE is her fault

Do you get it now?

She's a freaking hypocrite.

[americanstranger]

85. Exactly. n/t

- as

[LulaMay]

95. It's unfair for any Democrat to discuss? It's a GE death knell and party leaders know it...

of their own accord.

You are kidding yourself if you think they weren't drop jawed talking about it the moment it came out.

[americanstranger]

108. So we'll lose the GE either way.

If you think Hillary is going to make them play any nicer, you're out of your mind.

Besides - I'm sick and tired of Democrats basing their actions upon fear of what Republicans might say. That's the reason Hillary voted to go to war, among many other sins committed by the Dem party.

Enough of that. Screw fear of Republicans.

Addendum: Hillary using the Wright issue as a means to swing superdelegates is underhanded, sneaky, and Republican-like. It only reinforces the perception that she'll chew her own arm off to win the nomination.

- as

[LulaMay]

111. Nope. They don't want to run against Hillary. That's a ruse. Everyone can see

the number of women and progressive, enlightened men who've turned out to vote for her.

They don't want Republican women, who they've crapped on forever, turning out to vote for her.


They DON'T want to see McCain DEBATE her.

[americanstranger]

119. Oh, God. Let's be real here.

All those people like Limbaugh who have been fawning over her won't wait two seconds after she gets the nomination to turn on her.

They're drooling on their shoes to run the GE against Hillary, so they can throw that 'experience' argument right back in her face.

- as

[Politicalboi]

150. Your joking right?

They can't wait to debate her. McCain will chew her up and spit her out with all the baggage she has. She didn't even know Bill was getting blown in the WH while she was there. And again the Peter Paul lawsuit is coming 10/08 that will be a bigger can of worms. That will make the Keating 5 look like a boy scout jamberee. And lying about NAFTA. All they have on Obama is a angry preacher which McCain himself has his own so I don't think that is going to work for them. McCain can sleep during the debate and still win.

[Leopolds Ghost]

152. "Progressive enlightened men" who will flee when they find out Bill apologized to Wright for Monica!

:rofl:

[gabeana]

147. If Clinton gets it through SD its the death knell

you are either being naive, willfully ignorant or hypocritical -- pick your poison

[PoliticalAmazon]

278. Funny, Bush supporters ask the same thing when we criticize Bush for the evil things he's done

Not only is Hillary Clinton showing herself more and more each day to be like Bush Jr, but Hillary's supporters are, more and more each day, showing themselves to be like Bush supporters.

[slinkerwink]

75. exactly, like with the rezko picture

[knixphan]

263. bingo.

[Zhade]

112. Step one: get a dictionary. Step two: look up 'hypocrisy'.

Step three: WAKE THE EVERLOVING FUCK UP, YOU'RE BEING PLAYED BY cLINTON.

267. Photo is in A section of NYT today (Friday)

Article titled "Clinton Treats Obama Pastor with Extreme Caution".

It finally dawned on them that without the black vote, they will lose big in November.

[redstate_democrat]

41. Some people are afraid of Wright's influence on the WH

He's already been there and done that.

kick.

[BuyingThyme]

42. Was Hillary there? Did she hear what he said? Did she denounce and reject it?

Buckle up; this thing is about to crash.

[wileedog]

177. According to her Schedule

She was there

[polmaven]

180. I saw nothing in the article

that said Reverend Wright gave any kind of sermon or speech, so, no, Hillary probably didn't hear it.

I demand that Bill Clinton renounce, reject, rebuke, decry, distance, disavow, denounce, etc.

Otherwise he hates America and his wife is unelectable!

Did he pick it up from DU?

[pdxmom]

121. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. N/T

[nonconformist]

122. What hypocrisy?

Where have the Clintons came out and attacked Wright, or his association with Obama?

FYI - 1998 was before 2001, before the "God damn America!" quote.

He wasn't Clinton's personal friend and pastor for over 20 years. He didn't marry the Clintons and he didn't baptise Chelsea.

He's not the Clinton's "moral compass".

He's not, or never was, a member of Clinton's campaign.

He was at an event 10 years ago. So what?

Where's the hypocrisy again?

[SoonerPride]

123. They are telling Supers to avoid Obama because of his ties to Wright

Or havent you been reading the papers

[redstate_democrat]

125. Exactly!

They are using the media's bias reporting on the Wright situation to sway SDs claiming Obama is unelectable. HOW DARE THEY! They are the most hypocritical people on EARTH.

[nonconformist]

134. Obama's connection to Wright cannot be compared to this

And you know it.

He was at the White House for an event 10 years ago, prior to his most vitriolic comments. He doesn't have a long history with the Clintons, he hasn't been their pastor for 20 years, and they have not called him their moral compass.

This is like comparing apples to... uh... linguine.

[Tarc]

124. And a visit to the WH equates to TWENTY YEARS at the man's feet how?

My god, the O-Bots are getting pretty desperate to be grasping at such futile straws.

[SoonerPride]

126. Because they hugged and kissed Wright when it suited their needs

and then they claim he's too radical and Obama is a secret Black Panter for having gone to this "radical" church.

Hypocrites

[FrenchieCat]

132. YEp!

[redstate_democrat]

127. Try again!

The Clintons invited this man to the White House when Bill had to beg forgivenes for allowing Monica Lewinsky to give him a blow job in the Oval Office.

Obama has Religious ties to a man who was more good than bad. The Clintons, knowing full well the kind of church Wright pastored, invited him to the White House. The fact is, THEY KNOW REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT personally. Jeremiah Wright received TWO presidential awards. He served under LBJ, YET, they are trying to use this situation for political gain. They have no morals. They have no boundaries. They have no political courage to stand up for what is WRIGHT.

[redstate_democrat]

128. kicky kick!

Now they are trying to get access to the man's friggin passport! GEESH!

[redstate_democrat]

First it's Larry Klayman (Judicial Watch) filing suit for HRC's records, now it's Drudge with the Rev. Wright debacle.

You know, I was a rabid Clinton supporter during the WJC administration, before I knew how evil they are. I need to revisit my data, especially from my research in Arkansas, and see what will shake out.

172. Yes, Wright was there

with many other religious leaders. Neither of the Clintons ever sat in a church where he preached. Does anyone think that either Clinton would have sat in pew for twenty years and not walked out if any preacher preached hate as Wright does or called on the God of his religion to dam America?

[October]

181. Yeah, Wright is the hypocrite

He's cursing from the pulpit -- yet here he is looking adoringly at President Clinton.

What's with that?

Wright is a walking embarrassment. If he believed what he said from the pulpit -- why is he in that photo?

Please.

[jlake]

183. The Obama camp is getting desperate to leak BS like this...

certainly not the high minded conversation about race relations he said he was looking for.

Obama is a race-baiting, homophobe supporting bigot whose craven ambitions are going to hand the election to McCain and put the final nail in the coffin of America.

[Cant trust em]

185. Like NAFTA, this will be one of the co-presidency items she didn't agree with

What a great gig. She can take credit for someone else's work when she feels like it and disavow when she doesn't. The best of both worlds.

[AGirl]

186. so what the fuck is your point?

[ExtraGriz]

189. omg, wright was 1 of 200 religious leaders in the room

but hes not really a religious leader, the hateful racist stuff he spewed dont qualify him to be in that picture.

190. The Clinton SMEAR Campaign and Use of Fear and Intimidation Reminds Me of What Bush did to McCain

... in 2000.

I hope Obama survives this crap, because that's the only way to describe it.

You don't have to be black to see that despite his best efforts to make this about anything other than race, there is always someone to remind you that you are black.

I think America, white and black, is sick of this sh*t.

[BrklynGreenDog]

191. Wow, Bill really looks engaged looking off in the distance like that.

The minister got invited to hear a speech with, what a couple hundred other guys? Wow, this is so excit... snore...

[fightthegoodfightnow]

192. GUILTY

.... by association.

Such is the low threshold and calling card of the Clinton campaign when such is the standard by which we evaluate candidates.

But of course, you will never hear that from Billary.

[PoliticalAmazon]

282. Bill is probably looking at Monica's thong underwear

Good for Hillary Clinton, using Rev. Wright as a wedge issue with the superdelegates, when she and BIll Clinton invited Wright to the White House...this was during the same period that WJC was romancing Monica Lewinsky. Now we are hearing discussion of the WJC Nookiegate again. Brilliant move, Hillary.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

194. Aside from the fact that all of the videos of incendiary sermons occurred AFTER Bill left the WH....

Your spin fails.

Try harder next time.

[EFerrari]

197. Because working to destroy a man that tried to support you in a crisis

is okey dokey.

I'd ask you to try harder but I'm afraid this is the best you can do.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

198. So the rich white man president invites you to the big house& you still diss him & his wife.........

in your disgusting sermon....“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.” boomed the good Rev as he gyrated and humped the lectern.

[EFerrari]

200. He should have been oh so grateful to Clinton for what he did

to the black community?

To quote another black leader, "They never did anything for us."

Your disgust is misplaced. It should be aimed at two manipulative, self serving politicans who tried to play the black community.

[blogslut]

235. The Big House?

Lady, what the hell is wrong with you?

[blogslut]

233. So, the reverend wasn't "spouting hate" for 20 years?

Your words:

"Aside from the fact that all of the videos of incendiary sermons occurred AFTER Bill left the WH..."

You guys can't have it both ways.

[Alexander]

199. On September 11th, no less. Three years before the attacks.

9/11 is going to destroy Hillary's campaign - in more ways than one.

[Greyskye]

204. Thank you note from Bill Clinton to Rev. Wright

[workinclasszero]

207. Pastor-gate is blowing up right in Hillary's hypocrite face!

What a piece of work she is!:spank::puke:

[Metric System]

208. WTF are you Obama people going on about? The Clinton camp wasn't behind the Wright controversy! What

does this picture prove? How does one picture equate to a 20 year relationship?!? God, you people have gone off the deep end. Hillary hasn't said a word about the Wright controversy so all this photo that the Obama camp leaked proves is that the Obama camp must be very desperate.

[EFerrari]

209. Twenty years of supporting a vibrant congregation is an accomplishment

not a negative. And shame on you for spreading the smear of a good man and of a congregation that is a boon to their community.

This picture shows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Clintons are self serving opportunists. When Bill needed the Reverend to cover for his zipper problem, Wright was welcomed. When Hillary needed to keep her tanking campaign afloat, they were happy to try to destroy this pastor.

You have gone off the deep end if you approve of this appalling mendacity.

[Metric System]

212. Huh? How has the Clinton camp tried to "destroy" the pastor when they aren't behind the controversy,

or did they make the church sell videos of their services on it's website? Hell, there's even a memo from the Clinton camp stating that the Wright issue is off-limits.

"And shame on you for spreading the smear of a good man and of a congregation that is a boon to their community."

WTF are you talking about? Where in my post did I "smear" Wright?!? You sound unhinged and it seems like you're desperately throwing accusations around to take the heat off of Obama.

[EFerrari]

214. Have you managed to miss the many threads in this forum today

that showed how the Clintons are working this? One of them was an article in the New York Times.

I'm not unhinged. You're uninformed.

[Metric System]

216. Yes, they're working the super-delagates suggesting he may be damaged goods, but that's not the same

as pushing the Wright story on the media or publicly taking the Obama camp to task over it, neither of which the Clinton camp has done. On the other hand, the Obama camp certainly pushed Ferraro's ill-advised comments on the MSM and tried to get as much political mileage out of it as they could.

[EFerrari]

217. Oh, go away. They had their surrogate on all the bobble head shows

last night doing exactly that. And today, more of them were in the press.

You can't have missed it. It was all over this forum.

[PoliticalAmazon]

280. Sufferin' Jesus! HRC's supporters are starting to show same twisted thinking as HRC

Why is everything Hillary Clinton does which is hypocritical and unethical suddenly NOT hypocritical and unethical because...because...because, well, dang it, it was Hillary Clinton who did it and she is entitled to be president, so no rules apply to her anymore.

Twisted.

[redstate_democrat]

211. Obama did not leak this photo

it was already on the net. His campaign pointed to Politico's article and the NYT picked it up I believe.

Anyway, it just shows that Wright is not a radical crazed anti-America nutcase like the MSM has tried to paint him. He is very well respected preacher and ex-marine who has received 3 presidential commendations. He just so happens to also be one of the preachers who came to the defense of Bill Clinton in 1998 when he was experiencing his Monica thing.

[Metric System]

213. "like the MSM has tried to paint him." The MSM, not the Clinton camp. So again, what does this have

to do with Hillary?

[Oilwellian]

215. Uh, no

Hillary was on the teeeeeeveeeee tonight saying she's approached the super delegates and tried to convince them that she's more qualified as CINC. Lanny Davis admitted to the NYT that yes, they're using Rev. Wright as an example to the super delegates and painting Obama as the negro with poor judgement about who his friends are. Get the picture? I knew you would.

[Metric System]

218. That's not the same as pushing the controversy on the public or bashing the Obama camp through

the MSM. Besides, one photos is not equal to a 20 year relationship.

[redstate_democrat]

222. Watch This and Tell Me Whether You Believe Jeremiah Wright

is racist and anti-American

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOdlnzkeoyQ

[Metric System]

224. I never said I thought he is racist or anti-American. However, I do think some of his comments were

ill-advised and in poor judgment, and apparently Obama feels the same way too.

[redstate_democrat]

226. kick

[ClayZ]

219. Yeah! K and R

[New Dawn]

221. LOL, now what will the Clinton hacks say?!

[guyanakoolaid]

225. Just read MetricSystem's comments above...

pretty much sums up the slipperiness of Clinton and her supporters. MetricSystem finally admits that yes, Hillary has been pushing the Wright issue in private to get superdelegates to turn to her, but then throws arms up in defense that this is "not the same as pushing the (Wright)controversy on the public". Well, golly, MetricSystem, you sure got us on that sticking point of why Hillary isn't a complete hypocrite - she only does it behind closed doors! Good one.

[loveangelc]

223. :-)

[redstate_democrat]

228. kicky kick!

[Vinca]

236. Let me get this straight - was he at the White House to counsel and

pray with Bill Clinton after the Lewinsky revelations?

[durrrty libby]

230. So your beloved pastor met your opponent 10 years ago?

And is that good or bad?

[madrchsod]

231. this is so funny.

yup those 40 years of preaching hatred for three white presidents! he`s a black nationalist! no he`s a racist!
some of the hillary supporters are clueless....

[bigtree]

232. If the Clinton camp tried to claim they had a relationship with Wright based on this photo op

they'd be laughed down. This attempt to equate a photo op with the close relationship Obama had with Wright is a fraud.

[uponit7771]

249. Not a relationship but KNEW the man and could've spoken to his character but she threw Wright under

...the bus with silence

[Eurobabe]

237. What freaking hypocrisy. Karma's a bitch aint it?

:spray: :rofl:

The media is all over this now, for today.

[robbedvoter]

238. Still, ....Hillary ain't never been called a nigger. What is the point of this info?

[fight4my3sons]

239. there was a story about it on the Today show this morning

[MethuenProgressive]

240. One photo cancels out Obama's 20 year devotion to Pastor God Damn America Wright

Well, that ends PastorGate, eh?

[uponit7771]

248. Yeap, Clinton COULD'VE spoke up about the mans character instead of throwing him under the bus...

...with silence

[bluedog]

244. Wright goes to White House

preaching love and forgiveness......but in his church sermons preaches hate and the Damning of America?.......He seems to change the tone when it suits him.......Did he get up and accuse the white people in the room for the Aids virus?

[psychopomp]

245. The silence of Sen. Clinton in this whole Wright affair speakes volumes

about her character.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

246. how utterly dispicable of Obama ! This is an annual WH affair "Prayer Breakfast" and staffers

make the invites.

Rev Write was one out of a hundred ministers that were invited to the annual WH Prayer Breakfast in 1998 which EVERY president has has once a year.


Obama is utterly shameless! He's actually using his own pastor as a political weapon against the Clintons?


Wow.

[dogday]

250. I missed the part where Wright was Hillary's mentor for

20 years. How can you really compare the two? I go away for a week come back and the analogy being made is about as reaching as one can get.

[shagsak]

254. Obama shameless??

I know you're blinded by your love for your candidate but seriously, shameless? He's using his pastor? This is public information thrown out there by the media. Did you see Obama on the news last night showing that picture and spouting off "See, even the Clinton's liked my pastor.."? I know I didn't. The media is throwing it's own mud and trying to paint Obama as "strongly affiliated with a racist" so that he has less Democratic support. The media did the same thing with Ferraro and Clinton. It has obviously backfired this go round. Explain to me how this makes Obama shameless.

Why is it a Democrat can't just support their candidate without resorting to insulting the other? How are we ever going to defeat the GOP machine in November when we are at each others throats?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

258. yes "shameless" Obama's campaign released this photoand used his pastor as a political weapon

no differenct than bush or rudy's "9/11, 9/11, 9/11" BS

[shagsak]

268. political weapon? you've gone mad.

This is someone Obama still supports. How does showing another candidate's support of one of his friends constitute a weapon? It just shows that Wright must have been doing something right all those years. That maybe he isn't the "mean racist bigot" that the media would have you believe. The intent was not to show that "Clinton supports this racist bigot too." You totally missed the point of this release.

[Scurrilous]

251. K & R

:thumbsup:

[waiting for hope]

252. This has over a 100 recs?

The inference of this post is reaching and I find the premise juvenile.

[Pawel K]

253. I actually agree with you, this is a stupid story

I support Obama, but I hope that his camp didn't put this out. It would have been an idiotic thing to have done. What does this have to do with anything? The road Obama originally took with his speech was the right thing to do, this is completely detracts from that.

[SoonerPride]

256. What inference? It makes no implacations. It just states fact.

The Clintons endorse Pastor Wright.

[waiting for hope]

257. Okay - if that's your twisted, non-rational logic:

Obama endorses Karl Rove.



And no, I do not support Hillary if that's going to be your next attack, but seeing this kind of crap is making me like Obama less.

[SoonerPride]

259. If Obama had KKKRove speak at a breakfast, yes, I'd say he endorsed him

They didn't just casually meet Pastor Wright, but they sought him out. They vetted him and said, "you know this guy really is on the money and we like his message. Let's have him speak at a White House prayer breakfast."

That's a little different than someone snapping a pic of them shaking hands.

He was an INVITED guest.

[waiting for hope]

260. So were about 100 other religious leaders.

It's reaching and you know it.

[SoonerPride]

264. And I'd say the Clintons approved of all of them.

You don't invite radical crazy foaming at the mouth militants to speak.

No, you seek out those with whom you agree.

They agreed with Wright because in truth he is a fine man and a fine pastor.

That's the truth.

The "reach' is Hillary trying to smear Obama for several clips, thus saying that HIS association with Wright makes him damaged goods and the super delegates should steer clear of him.

[waiting for hope]

265. I think you need to go wash the

foam off your mouth. The truth here is totally lost.

[fascisthunter]

276. Make that 106 Recommends

:bounce:

[Gman]

269. This is about the lamest, most pathetic Obama post I've ever seen

and that's getting pretty bad.

[uponit7771]

279. Clintons silence on Wright is pathetic, they throw the guy under the bus when they could've...

...defended his good character and the fact that the guy has THREE presidential awards for community service. Not only that but she uses Wright to try and persuade SD's

She's a snake

[Gman]

283. Get a life

and not the imaginary one you have now.

[uponit7771]

284. Thought so,...

[fascisthunter]

272. Now Isn't This Inconvenient....

:P

[shaniqua6392]

286. This was way before Rev. Wright said Hillary don't know what it's like

to be a N*****. So, at one time, the good Reverend Wright thought highly enough of Bill to be forgiving and attend that prayer breakfast but now is critical of Hillary Clinton because she has the audacity to hope to be the President? What a crock.
