Wright throws on the floodlights, haters complain and scurry about like insects.

[meow mix]

and yet again we have another moment for these democrats* to define themselves.

"oh no, someone told the truth omgz! the democrats are toast!"

plz.
wright-haters are officially freepy concern trolls.

[ClassWarrior]

1. Yeah, it's amazing the way they're outing themselves.

Hey, we're finally having a dialogue on race. Real Dems have been wanting this for generations.

NGU.

2. Hey, Classy!!

5. I like that "Real Dems" and I am very suspect even here on DU sometimes....

I think that Rev. Wright coming out and being honest and letting people see who he really is, is just awesome.

[RevCheesehead]

3. You nailed it.

K & R!

4. Talking points went out early this morning, I guess.

And they apparently contained directions to show concern.

This board is lousy with concern this morning.

Let 'em rant, I say. It'll change nothing.

7. please don't call me a "freepy concern troll" because I have a negative opinion of Wright.

I'm a serious Obama supporter, who is working to help him win in Indiana. This hurts him here, sorry, that's just the truth. I'm sure Obama can come out and speak about this some more. But is this really what we want to talk about right now?

[americanstranger]

9. Why do Americans need things explained to them 10 times?

Screw further 'clarification,' screw Obama 'explaining' his 'relationship' with Wright.

Those who get it, got it the first time. Those who don't, let 'em go vote for Gramps or just wallow in their own goddamn ignorance.

I'm sick of the public needing their information spoon-fed to them. There's no way the public could possibly be that completely stupid.

12. I understand your anger about this, but when the media no doubt brings this up again to Obama,

he cannot respond "Screw further clarification...let 'em go vote for Gramps or just wallow in their own goddamn ignorance." THAT is why I am upset this morning. Obama has the BEST chance of promoting the causes and ideals that Wright probably holds dear, and YET comes out today with divisive speech that hurts him.

[ClassWarrior]

11. Yes, let's trash Progressive values for "electability."

Yessir...that's what I want to do. Vote for a Progressive who's rejected Progressivism.

:eyes:

NGU.

[faithfulcitizen]

13. sorry, I disagree that Wright is "progressive".

[ClassWarrior]

15. Explain.

NGU.

[faithfulcitizen]

19. meaning, some of his more divisive comments don't move us forward or progess, it moves us back.

[ClassWarrior]

21. How about some specifics? Which comments?

With links please.

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

22. Of course you don't. All attacks. No substance.

NGU.

[mattclearing]

16. Wright has done more to help people than probably anyone on DU.

That makes him pretty progressive in my eyes.

[faithfulcitizen]

18. true, good point.

[peace13]

20. If you have concerns about Wright....

don't go to his church. Really, this has been explained and thinking people will be able to work their way out of the paper bag that is 'Obama's Paster'. Can't help the small percentage that want this to be an issue.

[msongs]

8. yeah right, everyone who doesnt think like you is hater scum freepy concern trolls. ok nt

[smiley_glad_hands]

14. No, just those who think like freepers and spout rightwing talking points. eom

[cali]

17. oh, for pity's sake

what a silly post. I wish like hell people would stop talking about "the truth". There is no singular immutable truth here.

[Forkboy]

23. Ain't that the truth.

:D
