Reverend Wright on CNN NOW!!! - This white boy would attend his church.

[Infinite Hope]

He's lively, insightful, entertaining, passionate, makes you think, and even sings well. I'd attend his church. Recommend this thread if you would. (And turn on your TV sets!)

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. He's absolutely awesome.

Awesome.

[SeattleGirl]

2. I absolutely would!

He speaks the truth! Those who say he doesn't are most likely those who think his passion is the equivalent of hate.

[ShortnFiery]

3. This white, middle aged woman is super-impressed.

Last week at Mass, I started rocking a little back and forth when I was singing a hymn. My daughter tapped me and winked ... as if to remind me that I'm not in Obama's church. :blush: Our family jokes although we are loyal liberal Catholics that we wish that our Mass could get just a little bit more lively.

Rev. Wright is awesome. :-) :applause: I wish he'd come visit our Parish.

22. I've had the pleasure of attending many kinds of Christian churches

Back in my country, our family were members of the Apostolic church, but most Sundays we went to a Baptist church that was much, much closer. Since we went to Catholic school, I knew all about liturgy and masses, etc.

When we came to the US, we went to a church that spoke our language. Our intro to American churches began with televangelists, whom we thought were kinda strange. Then we started attending a black church. Talk about culture shock!!!!!!! The way they sang, the way they preached, it was so new and unlike anything we ever saw before.

Since meeting my husband, we've attended evangelical churches, but nothing like the Hagee/Parsley types. Contemporary Christian music took some getting used to, because I really love "sacred music", and the formality of Catholic masses. Yet, I also have come to love the "Gospel Music" tradition. What I listen to musically depends on my mood, but I enjoy all the diversity in God's children, and all our different approaches to worship.

4. Isn't he too Bombastic?.......Wright as he imitates those who might be appalled that

Black church pastors tend to shout! LOL!

[ForeignSpectator]

32. That was great but there was so much more good stuff! n/t

[LakeSamish706]

5. If George Bush or any of his Admin. had a fraction of this mans intellgence....

we would be living a different existence in America.

[SeattleGirl]

7. Absolutely.

[thunder rising]

10. That's how "rule by exclusion" works. Nothing to do with the best person just the selected one

[Upton]

6. He's an impressive speaker

watching it right now.

[Double T]

8. I love the spin, denial is NOW a beautiful thing.

I wish it were a joke, but I know better!

[FrenchieCat]

11. What do you mean? Is the Black Church and Black pastors offensive to you?

Because different doesn't mean deficient, does it?

[Double T]

17. It has NEVER BEEN ABOUT COLOR. It is ALL about the words.

BO and his supporters conveniently like to forget the words and spin a bunch of TOTAL CRAP!!! Always flipping the DAMN RACE CARD; it is getting OLD!!

[FrenchieCat]

23. Everything is about race at this point...which is why Hillary Supporters

and HIllary sell the notion that Obama cannot win the GE because of his race to anyone who will listen. Race and racism is being exploited for political gain.

It would be if Obama and Obama supporters made the publica case and offered to superdelegates a reasoning that Clinton can't win because she's a woman. OBama nor his supporters would do that. But Hillary supporters seem to do it.


Nobody is stupid.

It's the racism, stupid.

[Double T]

26. ONLY because BO has made it that way. Meanwhile the IMPORTANT DIRE ISSUES..........

take a backseat.

[Infinite Hope]

30. Yeah, I think it went something like this "Obama: I won, but so did Jesse Jackson"

:sarcasm:

[northamericancitizen]

9. Recommending all the threads refering to this extraordinary speach.

[grantcart]

12. Even if he pissed you off you would be curious to see what he was

going to say next week.

[Why Syzygy]

13. Great news.

I always liked him, so I'm glad others are finding they do too.

[Infinite Hope]

14. This is EXCELLENT for Obama. It gives America greater insight into who Wright is. n/t

[1776Forever]

15. To me he is like Obama, an answer to prayer - I had prayed many times to God for an answer to Bush!

The answer is here! Rev. Wright is a blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Rev. Wright! You make me glad and happy to be a Christian.

[LakeSamish706]

16. What the hell is this Rick on CNN saying that it will be a problem for...

Obama? Am I missing something here? Rev. Wright was absolutely awesome IMO.

[Purveyor]

18. Oh yeah!!! In a 'heart-beat' I'd be there.... eom k&R

[WillyT]

19. Big K & R !!!

:bounce::kick::bounce:

:woohoo:

[Swamp Rat]

20. Yes indeed!

:applause:

[stray cat]

21. A change is going to come!

[Spiffarino]

24. My black friend once said to me...

"You are the whitest white man I have ever met." She said this, of course, in a very joking and loving way.

The Reverend's message tonight was one of unity, of love, and of hope. That we can be different without being deficient is something most of us know intrinsically, yet we are taught early on just the opposite. The world needs more knowledgeable, truthful, wonderful people like Rev. Jeremiah Wright to help us re-learn this simple, important truth.

So, as the whitest white man my friend has ever met, I can say without any reservation that it would be an honor to attend Reverend Wright's church. I already feel welcome.

[Phx_Dem]

25. This white girl doesn't attend church,

but I might consider it if I could hear this type of preaching.

[scheming daemons]

27. I'm an atheist..... and that shit was inspiring. Not enough to make me believe in a god... but..

...damn entertaining and inspiring.

[boppers]

28. Careful, that's how he got Obama, too.

;)

[Scurrilous]

29. K & R

:thumbsup:

[butterfly77]

31. Some people can handle the truth...

they love for their religious leaders to "Beat around the bush"..

[ForeignSpectator]

33. I would, too. Not religious either but with such an inspiring preacher who knows if I would be. n/t

[SunsetDreams]

34. absolutely this white woman would be honored to hear

God speak through that man!

[GeorgeGist]

35. Bertrand Russell ...

would label you and Jeramiah fools.

PS. Infinite Hope is an oxymoron.

[Spiffarino]

36. And he would be different from me.

But not deficient.

:D

[Infinite Hope]

37. P.S. "Infinite Hope" isn't an oxymoron. n/t
