Wright to Obama: ‘Coming after you’

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that he will try to change national policy by “coming after” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) if he is elected president. <…>

“I said to Barack Obama last year, ‘If you get elected, November the 5th I’m coming after you, because you’ll be representing a government whose policies grind under people,’ Wright said.

Wright says criticism is attack on black church

Didn't Rev Wright say he was" Religious speaker AND Barack-Bok-Bok was the politician..? Didn't Barack-Bok -Bok make a commitment to this man for 20 years and his church's black value system...? If you have never read it ...DO!( although..there has been some VERY recent 'tweaking'...)

And when Rev Wright, says..He is reading from the bible and speaks only of Jesus and the word of the lord.etc...WHERE in the bible is Bill Clinton..Hillary Clinton...Nigger...shall I go on? He was campaigning fro Barack-Bok-Bok that day! I'm sure, many more..The MSM never talks about his disgusting sermon against the Clinton's...Barack-Bok -Bok in his FAKE speech about Unity and Color failed again, to apologize tp the Clinton's for these Racist attacks ! I can still see and hear this congregation cheering and jumping up to slap 5 ! This is messed up!


So, What is Rev Wright coming after Barack-Bok-Bok for? you tell me.

41. Do you dispute that our government policies need changing? If President Obama
keeps the status quo, we'll ALL be coming after him.

4. I really like the mocking of the next President of the United states.
Bitterness is SUCH a Clintonesque trait.

I'm glad you reinforce that.

5. arrgh. stupid can be so irritating.
"where in the bible...?" Yes, dearie, all ministers hew completely to every word in the bible. They never, ever interpret the bible for their sermons. Sheesh. Try rubbing a couple of brain cells together. Maybe you'll get a spark.

20. Why are you offended?
I am a white red neck gun owning NASCAR loving Southern male living deep in the Bible belt and I find the Rev Wright quite inspirational. I am not offended. I do disagree with him on various points. Ah, discussion. A wonderful thing, when people meet to exchange ideas and experiences, rather than to merely condemn them.

40. It's the 'bitter' voters who will ...and they are
already beginning to back away from Obama...
My concerns are more with Obama's electability...He has at TON of 'Chickens coming home to Roost'...right in the middle of this primary. Rezko..Ayers..Wright...Auchi...We need to get it right..Hillary is the ONE!

44. So you yourself are not offended ...
and your issue is one of managing the outcome of an uncertain struggle.

My concern is that if we believe things to be true, and do not stand on those principles, then how can we make progress through victory? Would not a victory so won, won on the basis of honoring the untruth, be hollow and provide little basis to rally the people to the work I think most of us here believes must be accomplished?

I don't agree with everything the Rev Wright has said. I think he is really reaching with the AIDS hypothesis thingy, for example. But the truth of the Tuskegee Airmen makes it hard for me to attach much weight to the criticism of those who believe such an atrocity might be possible. I DO agree with the basic thrust of his speech, and I firmly believe that more than win an election, we have to open the eyes of the people.

21. What's with the Barack-Bok-Bok?
That sounds so childish.

Just so you know, there have been other supporters of Obama who also said they would hold him accountable if he gets in office.

It's a reflection of that person's integrity. It's so sad that I've heard no one say that about Hillary.

That's a good thing.

It's funny how you make assumptions on things you don't know. I would not debate Hillary either before. Has nothing to do with being a chicken. Silly

30. Yawn. I think Obama pretty much knows he will be inheriting
"a government whose policies grind under people,’ as Wright said.

And that his message of CHANGE and the idea that we should stop screwing and grinding the underclass completely under--puts both of them on the same page. I'm sure he welcomes the challange and that's why he's running.

Where's the beef?

36. Here:

Look how cute, the bigots cry racism...

Leave it to Shiksa Malkin to once-again stand-up against racism - something she only does when she can actually distort what is being said by anyone left-leaning in order to then use those paid-for talking points to help the GOP machine. Here is what Malkin writes this morning about Rev. Wright's speech:

"Good morning, people. I’ll be on Fox and Friends at around 8:15am to talk politics. Today’s engine-starter is The American Digest’s post on Jeremiah Wright’s racial brain theories.Do you remember nutball racialist professor Leonard (Blacks are “sun people,” whites are “ice people.”) Jeffries?
<snip>
As I noted yesterday, Wright acted out the differences between black and white marching bands.
<snip>
If he’s this comfortable mocking black/white differences in front of media cameras, I can only imagine what he says in private to his faithful black liberation ideology adherents."

Well Michelle proves finally what I have always suspected. The right-wing brain does not see complexity nor does it understand metaphor. It does, however, appear to hate rather well and so this sudden race to defend black America from a popular black pastor leaves me baffled.

After all, is this not the same bigot who argued in defense of Japanese concentration camps? Is this not the same bigot who routinely attacks Muslims and Islam? How very strange that this bigot would suddenly care about black America being insulted by what she now is trying to spin as racists slurs of a black minister. Quite simply put, what Malkin does not get is everything and what she is paid to parrot is garbage.

Let me just say what I got out Rev. Wright's speech. What Malkin points to as white-left brain theory is really what is generally referred to those who study the brain as creativity and emotion vs. logic and how the brain controls both. To say someone is creative is not to say they are unintelligent. By the same token to say that someone is logical does not make them intelligent. But Wright is NOT talking about intelligence in this regard.

Wright is appearing to use this as a metaphor to emphasize how the culture of the American black community is one of storytelling and song from a slave-history in which those were the only tools of expression and documentation available to an enslaved people. He discusses how those traditions have been attacked as matters of intelligence, when they are in fact matters of culture.

Why is that so difficult to understand for Shiksa and the other brain-dead that walk among us? What Wright appears to be saying is that the Euro-centric way of speaking and expression is acceptable no matter how crude, illogical or how un-artistic, while the black-centric way of speaking and expression is seen as a deficiency that must be remedied, even if not remotely crude and entirely logical and artistic.
