What a surprise!

[Saturday]

NOT! Wright will not be speaking in FL and TX as planned. He's not even going to pick up an award he was supposed to. Security reasons. Come on Barack, if he's so inspirational to you, why can't we hear him speak?

1. Now I remember why I had you on ignore.......bye.

[Vinca]

2. Apparently the crazies are threatening his life.

As an apparent Hillary supporter, that must make you happy.

[Saturday]

11. I don't believe for a minute he can't be protected.

I'm not even sure anyone is threatening him. This is the way to keep him from speaking. Obama is written all over the decision.

3. Welcome to my ignore list

This P{astor wright stuff is weak.

There are more important thnings to yammer about.

Like the fucking war or our screwed up economy.

I've had it with the likes fo you who want to make sideshows the story.

Goodbye forever.

4. I assume he's getting a good number of threats. Seriously, do you actually believe Rev. Wright

has only now developed a fear of controversy?

[noel711]

5. Security Concerns...

there have been threats on his life.

And you think Obama controls this man's life?

get serious.. and grow up.

[countingbluecars]

6. Ignorant racist pigs

making death threats is why.

[ProSense]

7. Hillary has the nerve to assail Rev. Wright

Hillary has the nerve to assail Rev. Wright

Become informed!

8. What do you want Obama to do?

Force him to speak? Ya, that's very American.

[Saturday]

12. No, I want him to LET him speak. nt

[scheming daemons]

17. How's he stopping him?

link please.... not your paranoid supposition.

[mmonk]

9. All I can say is wow.

What a post.

[grantcart]

10. you have become a habitual waste of time

you are the 3rd person to join my "not going to waste my time anymore list"

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

13. I can't hear you. It's the sniper fire.

[emilyg]

20. "My father grew up herding goats"...

Actually he worked In a Nairobi office since age 16.

[XemaSab]

22. He herded goats until age 16

when he got a job in an office.

What's the problem? :shrug:

[emilyg]

24. I have no problem

just pointing out how silly all this is.

[Lucky 13]

14. Obama has nothing to do with it. Do you really blame Wright for wanting to avoid media events?

Why would he want to subject himself to your judgement and scrutiny? We all know the out come. You will use ANYTHING he says as negative evidence against him and drag him through the mud all over again? Only an idiot would subject himself to that.

I also think that there is a fear for his safety after all this.

Leave the man alone. You've beat him up enough.

[bumblebee1]

15. Wow!!! I didn't know Barack controlled Rev Wright.

It's like Barack doesn't have enough to do while campaigning for the nomination. Now he has to control Rev Wright?

[scheming daemons]

16. Obama's not stopping him......

Please provide proof.


The pastors of both churches in question said that THEY stopped the event, with no input whatsoever from the Obama campaign.



Don't lie, yada.

[book_worm]

18. You keep pushing this thing that it's Barack who is stopping him from talking

without giving one ounce of proof. You are a one-trick pony and your trick is getting tiresome.

[Nickster]

19. You could always check out the church's website and review past sermons that he's given, you know,

if you actually cared to learn about the man and his views. Funny, Pastor Wright stood by President Clinton when the Lewinsky scandal was breaking, but now that it's politically expedient, Senator Clinton throws Pastor Wright under the bus. Very sad. Did you hear the Clinton's pastor saying that he thought Pastor Wright was a good man and all this smearing was a terrible thing? Yup, saw that this morning on the news.

[Justitia]

21. You're disgusting. The threats made to him here in Houston have been all over our news.

And you choose to exploit that.

The man has been coming to Wheeler Baptist Church here in Houston for over 20 yrs as a guest speaker and had to cancel this time over security threats to him AND the church.

Congratulations on your contribution to the intimidation effort.

:puke:

23. Shouldn't you be glad? After all, this means his "hate speech" won't reach other innocent ears.
