1. OOOOHHH NOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEESSS SSSSS! ! !111!11!!!!!

Kicked for being one of the few relevant posts today....

[noel711]

2. Thank you muntv... I've tried to keep my distance from DU today..

The MSM seems to have a lot of influence over these boards today...

[rainy]

3. It's so f-ing ridiculous! I can't believe what they have done to this good man.

They have tried to destroy his character. They are relentless and obnoxious. I can't stand it anymore. I refuse to watch anymore. From now on it will be Keith and only Keith if I'm watching any news channel.

4. AGREE!-And the MSM fiddled while Rome burned to the ground

[jeffrey_X]

5. And nobody is actually discussing what he is saying...

they just keep repeating "Rev Wright this.." "Rev Wright that..."

It's fucking disgusting.

[stillcool]

6. If at first they don't succeed...

they try and try again. I can not believe that they didn't learn their lesson from the 3 week, 24/7 resuscitation of selected excerpts. I think they better be real careful about how they pick and choose their clips from this one. Don't want to let any truth slip out.

7. Has Wright become a wedge issue

[JuniperLea]

8. No surprise... remember the "Dean Scream"

Much ado about nothing can cost a person a damn fine job.

The most frustrating part for me is, I like Rev. Wright a hell of a lot more than I like Obama!!

This whole thing sucks... and understand, this is from someone who voted Edwards before he threw in the towel, and has been underwhelmed by the "other two" since the beginning.

9. A-Rod made Tweety look like a complete ASS! Said Americans smarter than that & polls bear them out

[DearAbby]

10. Don't sweat the small shit!

Pay attention, idiots....IT'S REV. WRIGHT!

Big fecking deal you are paying more and getting further and further behind in this economy...THERE IS REV. WRIGHT to worry about for Christ sake!


Edit...had to come back to add :sarcasm: for the impaired

[AntiFascist]

11. I'm beginning to see method to this madness....

pretty soon people will become saturated with Rev. Wright. His "Goddamn America" comment will get lost in all the noise. The controversy will soon become more about Rev. Wright than about Obama.

There may be light at the end of this tunnel.

13. April: the most soldiers killed since September

4 US soldiers killed; militants shell Green Zone

By SLOBODAN LEKIC, Associated Press Writer Mon Apr 28, 4:35 PM ET

BAGHDAD - Bombardments by suspected militants killed four U.S. soldiers Monday as troops tried to push Shiite fighters farther from the U.S.-protected Green Zone and out of range of their rockets and mortars.

At least 44 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq in April, making it the deadliest month for U.S. forces since September.

The U.S. military said three soldiers were killed in eastern Baghdad by indirect fire, a reference to mortars or rockets. The statement did not give an exact location for the attack, but the Shiite stronghold of Sadr City has been the scene of intense fighting recently with Shiite militiamen.

A fourth U.S. soldier was killed by a shell in western Baghdad, the military said.

Iraqi casualties in March: 980 (highest since September)

Wright spoke out about American aggression.

Here is Hillary attacking Wright's character:

SENATOR CLINTON: I was asked a personal question, Charlie, and I gave a personal answer. Obviously, one's choice of church and pastor is rooted in what one believes is what you're seeking in church and what kind of, you know, fellowship you find in church. But I have to say that, you know, for Pastor Wright to have given his first sermon after 9/11 and to have blamed the United States for the attack, which happened in my city of New York, would have been intolerable for me. And therefore I would have not been able to stay in the church, and maybe it's, you know, just, again, a personal reflection that regardless of whatever good is going on -- and I have no reason to doubt that a lot of good things were happening in that church -- you get to choose your pastor. You don't choose your family, but you get to choose your pastor. And when asked a direct question, I said I would not have stayed in the church.

<...>

SENATOR CLINTON: Well, I think, in addition to the questions about Reverend Wright and what he said and when he said it, and for whatever reason he might have said these things, there were so many different variations on the explanations that we heard. And it is something that I think deserves further exploration, because clearly what we've got to figure out is how we're going to bring people together in a way that overcomes the anger, overcomes the divisiveness and whatever bitterness there may be out there.

It is clear that, as leaders, we have a choice who we associate with and who we apparently give some kind of seal of approval to. And I think that it wasn't only the specific remarks, but some of the relationships with Reverend Farrakhan, with giving the church bulletin over to the leader of Hamas to put a message in. You know, these are problems, and they raise questions in people's minds.

And so this is a legitimate area, as everything is when we run for office, for people to be exploring and trying to find answers.

17. 4 Killed In The God Damn Green Zone Should Be The Headline

Yet we get the bread and circus divide and conquer BULLSHIT. This is why I killed my TV. RIP troops. :cry: FUCK!

[RichGirl]

15. The silver lining I'm hoping for is...

...that our elected officials start respecting the separation of church and state. I'm sick to death of the candidates, ALL of them, hauling out and flaunting their religions, as if they need to be Christian in order to be president.

The main problem with this whole thing is this: this is a presidential election, we did not need to know what church Obama goes to, what religion he is or who his pastor is. And that goes for the other candidates as well. Maybe they will learn from this that pastors are free agents and hard to criticize or condemn. I'm not holding my breath......

16. damn richgirl... a Hillary supporter after my own heart.... there is hope!

yay you!
