Is there something new in the Wright story?

[senseandsensibility]

I heard MSNBC interrupt Hillary's economic speech and begin to talk about Wright. I could only hear snippets because the TV is on in the other room. I can not believe they are actually returning to this!

Did something happen or are they just refusing to let go? Are they going to interrupt every time a Dem tries to talk about issues from now to November with more Wright "newsflashes"?

I really can't stand this. This is controversial on FAUX, and two of their on air personalities objected to the wall to wall coverage days ago. I guess MSNBC is filling the void.:puke:

1. Was he the one doing the sniper firing in Bosnia?

:crazy:

[yardwork]

2. The media is owned by corporations that benefit from Republican policies.

We will see the media relentlessly attack any Democrat, while ignoring incredible malfeasance on the part of Republicans.

[EVDebs]

3. Falwell and Robertson got 'free media passes'. Wright did not

Falwell apologizes to gays, feminists, lesbians

The apology was hardly noticable in the media's coverage, and only done in response to its stupidity being realized in the first place. But those underlying anti-American beliefs are still held by rightwingnuts.

When coming from the left with Wright--and Obama giving the response--we KNOW that the right's response in "investigating" 9-11 was a white-wash of the Bush ineptitude (or possibly even LIHOP, let alone MIHOP).

The media dares not go too deeply into 9-11 and THAT is what is what lurks behind this attack on Obama.

4. He's slamming the Italians and Israel

among other rants. He's a pathetic piece of shit,but at least he will help defeat NObama,thank God.

[dionysus]

7. psst, hillary cannot possibly win...

hate to dissappoint you with that quaint math thing...

[durrrty libby]

13. I believe he referred to Italians as "garlic noses" and to the jews as "godless"

That's from the bible, right?


BO and his Disaster Pastor are nasty bigots. It is just that simple.

[zulchzulu]

20. That just show how cheap and pathetic some Hillaray supporters are

They revel in the flawed oddity that some schmuck fucking preacher tied by 20 degrees of separation can sink a presidential candidate...

Here's the memo you need to read in nice, big letters:

OBAMA IS GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE AND WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER, WITH OR WITHOUT YOU!

You can support GI Hillary and her cheating husband. They will rot soon enough and leave us real Democrats to kick some McCain ass, even after GI Hillary endorsed his senile ass...

28. I'm with you

5. Jeremiah Wright has been yapping for decades. Anyone who is gambling that...

Jeremiah Wright has been yapping for decades. Anyone who is gambling that we have seen the worst of Wright is probably making a bad bet.

[samdogmom]

6. Give. Me. A. Break!!!!!! n/t

[dbonds]

8. Yes, the new poll showed Obama had not been damaged by the story.

So they are 'kicking it up a notch'.

[senseandsensibility]

11. Bingo

We have a winner. But what is this Italian thing? I think I'm getting a headache.

[NYCGirl]

16. He condemned the Romans for killing Christ. He was talking about Italians

that lived 2000 YEARS AGO!

[senseandsensibility]

21. Ughh

Thanks.

[Saturday]

9. They found some more of his teachings. Now it's about Italians

and Jews.

[npincus]

10. Iraq is melting down, people are packing their shit because they've lost their homes,

and MSM dimbulbs are blabbing about that bullshit.

[Beacool]

12. I don't know if it's the same thing.

But last night on Greta's show they said that Rev. Wright had written an article for The Trumpet (I think that was the name of the church's magazine). It seems that he went on another of his diatribes and called italians some nasty things. They still didn't have the full info. and were trying to lay their hands on a copy of the December issue of the magazine.

[Buzz Clik]

14. Wright announced that HE is now a candidate for Prez in an attempt to make the criticisms relevant.

[ecstatic]

15. They are urging him to come out "one more time" and address everyone again

:wtf:

Something tells me they are just hoping for a "Gotcha" moment. Why would Obama need to come out again?? His speech covered everything! The lifetime of this incident is a function of how long the MSM chooses to re-run the same clips.

[DJ13]

17. Big time Hillary supporter Dan Abrahms is influencing MSNBC's coverage

That would be my guess.

I also bet if Olbermann wasnt the highest rated show he would have tried shutting Keith up about Hillary too.

[kid a]

18. You know what happened? It didn't stick - He is more popular than ever.

MSM hates it.

[The Night Owl]

19. This just in... According to Jeremiah Wright, liberalism offers empty promises...

http://www.tucc.org/pdf/rey_5-2006.pdf

Our hope is not built on faith-based dollars, empty liberal
promises or veiled hate-filled preachments of the so-called
conservatives. Our hope is built on Him who came in the
flesh to set us free.

:wtf:

22. It's a minister. Ministers are not supposed to endorse specific idealogy.

Ministers believe that through Jesus Christ we can do the right things and make the world a better place.

That's what they think. All of them.

Why you wouldn't understand this is confusing to me.

[The Night Owl]

23. If ministers are not supposed to endorse ideologies, then maybe they shouldn't bash them either.

[olkaz]

24. "maybe they shouldn't bash them either."

I don't understand what you're saying.

I don't disagree or agree, I just don't get it.

The media shouldn't bash preachers?

[The Night Owl]

25. Jeremiah Wright bashed liberalism by claiming that it offers empty promises.

I don't expect Mr. Wright to endorse liberalism, but if he is going to bash it, then I'm going to respond to that bashing by pointing out that Wright is wrong.

[olkaz]

26. Ah, okay

Let's keep in mind that no ideology, in and of itself, can fix all of society's ills. It appears to me that he was referring to extreme liberalism, since he clearly supports basic liberalism.

But like I said, he's a preacher, and preachers are going to advance the ideas of better living through Christianity, not liberalism or conservatism.

And it's certainly okay for you to disagree with his position. I just don't think it's anything that could become a controversy.

[The Night Owl]

27. If Mr. Wright was referring to "extreme liberalism" when he wrote that liberalism...

...offers empty promises then he should have used the term "extreme liberalism" in his statement.

I think you're making excuses. Jeremiah Wright is clearly a crackpot who says whatever comes to mind.

[Bluebear]

30. If you haven't heard ministers endorsing specific poltical ideology, you are indeed confused.

[olkaz]

32. Oh, I have, it's just that they really shouldn't.

In my world anyway.

[MadBadger]

29. And what about that isnt true? The Dems have let us down time and time again.

[The Night Owl]

31. Do you think that liberalism offers empty promises? Mr. Wright does. {EOM}
