4. They expected
Wright to be shammed into silence. They expected Obama to totally throw Wright to the curb. They are angry because Obama refused to do this.

6. They believe in their own free speech
The rest of us are supposed to shut-up, watch, listen, obey and spend lots of money with their sponsors.

8. Wow, so it's all the media's fault? This Obama worship is really something.
Nobody associated with him can be criticized in any way, no matter how nasty they are. Everything that happens gets turned around until it's somebody else's fault.

What's twice as funny is the incredibly poor command of English in your post. Learn to write before you have something against others' communications skills.

The media just put microphones in front of the guy, and he said some dumb shit. He keeps digging the hole deeper. But nobody can criticize him because he's black, and he was Obama's minister.

By the way, bearing false witness is a sin. It's against a Commandment. Wright did so when he denied being any closer to Obama than anyone else. He's known the man for 20+ years and officiated at the man's wedding, for pity's sake.

Even Wright doesn't believe Wright's bullshit. Only Obama worshipers do.

12. go ahead, beat us all up...
the guy is a pastor...ever been around one? they get criticized all the time, because they take a stand! Ever been around a black person, ever been to a black church? Ever known what it is like to be a black person, or should we just take your word for it that what the man says is "bullshit"? Well I think what you have to say is bullshit, and I will take those guys over whatever you have over on the republican side. By the way, in the UCC we call them "pastor" not minister, maybe you don't have a real good command of English either, or you already have your mind made up about blacks, and pastors, and people of faith?

dare ya to check this out and actually read it:

9. I was flipping around TV earlier - could not fucking believe what I heard from the pretty CBS mouth:
She summed up Wright's speech by telling viewers Wright said "criticism of him was criticism of the black church, a church he said was misunderstood".

That's virtually word for word, the seering evil of its message burned itself into my brain.

The bigots are starting to expose themselves, they have to come out to face their worst fear. And one twisted misrepresented quote like this is all it's going to take to forever deny a station credibility for me (of what shred they had remaining)

10. The media has to be very careful...
about what they choose to highlight from his speech. There is way too much truth, that they can't afford to let slip out.
