I'm not sticking up for Obama, but Morning Joe is a lying fuck when it comes to Reverend Wright

[mtnsnake]

and everything he does on his show is for sake of John McCain winning the presidency.

All that Morning Blowjob is doing so far on his show this morning is vilifying Reverend Wright and lying through his teeth about the man. He's calling Reverend Wright names like "this clown" and blah blah blah, and he keeps saying how Reverend Wright is only "out to keep Obama from getting into the White House". How ridiculous is that. What a lying scumbag Morning Blow is. Anyone with a frigging brain ought to know that Reverend Wright is just out there sticking up for his OWN name, his OWN church, and telling it like it is, and I don't blame the man one bit.

Wright has more guts in his pinky toe than all of the lying spinning media combined, and he's even more gutsy and truthful than a great percentage of our politicians. Unlike most of our politicians, Reverend Wright doesn't cave. How refreshing is that.

Like I said, I'm not sticking up for Obama with this. In fact, I don't think Obama has handled the Reverend Wright situation all that perfectly, although he was in a hard political spot at the time. I'm sticking up for Reverend Wright, period.

FUCK Morning Blow, fuck the New York Post for their vicious front page portraying Reverend Wright as a maniac, and fuck the media in general for taking a gutsy man like Reverend Wright who tells it like it is and turning him into some kind of a circus sideshow freak. Assholes.

1. Pastor Wright's PR blitz: "as selfish of a move as we've seen in some time"

FIRST THOUGHTS.
*** You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Campaign Is About You: After addressing the NAACP yesterday in Detroit, Jeremiah Wright travels to the heart of the media beast -- the National Press Club in DC -- where he has been speaking this morning. At this point, no matter one's political inexperience, Wright has to know he's not helping his friend; his decision to go public and defend his reputation at this point in the campaign is doing nothing to help Obama, if anything, it's leading some to believe he's actually trying to sabotage him. He's hurting him and hurting him very badly. Frankly, it's as selfish of a move as we've seen in some time. Imagine, for example, if Norman Hsu or Vicki Iseman were doing publicity tours right now. Maybe, if there's a silver lining for Obama, he's giving Obama a very easy chance to simply walk away. Remember, Obama didn't toss Wright under the bus, but Wright appears to be doing that to Obama's candidacy... Nevertheless, Obama seems to be starting off this week in about as bad of shape as we've seen in him in some time.

8. I agree he's not "helping" Obama, but I don't think he's out to "sabotage" him either

In all honesty, I don't CARE who he's helping or hurting because I like what he says, how he says it, how he sticks up for himself, and how he doesn't cave in to the media dorks. I LOVED how he ridiculed Cheney yesterday in front of the entire country.

2. AGREED!

I stopped watching MSNBC 2 weeks ago. They are totally sabotaging Obama's candidacy. It's not even subtle.

3. The guy who is speaking right now is Bob Herbert. He wrote thiis

and it is right on the mark: ttp://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/29/opinion/29herbert.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

4. I disagree. Any "Holy Man" declaring the gov't targeted a group

of people to inoculate them with the AIDS Virus is a dangerous evil lunatic

[mtnsnake]

5. He said he thought the govt was "capable" of doing it, not guilty of doing it

At least that's how he phrased it yesterday morning in his speech.

[MethuenProgressive]

12. Here's the exact quote from his "sermon" -

"The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color."

17. My two posts on Rev Wright are entirely based on his speech yesterday which I loved, MP

Like I said yesterday, I'm sure there are aspects of what Reverend Wright has said that I won't like, but there are tons of things I've heard him say that are spot on, painfully truthful, and REFRESHING.

I don't blame him at all for going on this little crusade of his to stick up for himself and his beliefs. My problem is with the media and how they're spinning him.

[MethuenProgressive]

24. "My problem is with the media and how they're spinning him."

I don't think anyone needs to "spin" Wright. He is what he is. And that's not good for Obama.

[fed_up_mother]

28. The media doesn't have to spin it! He gives them fresh sound bites every

time he opens his mouth!

You don't have to "spin" his stupid AIDS comment. Or many others.

[durrrty libby]

21. Go ahead ...mince words, but many people believe that shit.

He is retiring to a multi-million dollar mansion

"Preaching the Word" sure is profitable

All these holy rollers are phony, but some are flat out despicable.

[fed_up_mother]

27. That was an in-your-face inflamatory statement

UNPROVEN conspiracy stories (unlike Tuskegee) do nothing to help Obama.

Wright is destroying my candidate, and he's loving every minute of it.


I feel like throwing up.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

26. Yeah, who would ever conceive of such a thing?

TRUST YOUR GOVERNMENT.

[fed_up_mother]

29. Tuskegee happened, but AIDS "conspiracy" theories will sink Obama

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

31. Why? Obama has never said he believes those theories

If we're going to play the guilt-by-association game, there's plenty of crap Hillary and McCain "believe" simply because someone they know believes it.

6. Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, and Pat Buchanan

are perfect examples of scared white men who wish African Americans would just shut up and go along with 'the program'. Seems Rev. Wright has pulled an apple from the bottom row of their perfect little apple carts.

9. Joe Scarborough in the tank for Hillary

for the Dem nomination. He's said it many times before on his show. He's a Republican though, so no wonder he likes her. I think he might be trying to balance out Keith Olbermann favoring Obama.

[mtnsnake]

14. No he's not. He's in the tank for McCain. When Hillary was in command he was ridiculing her

and pulling for Obama entirely on his show. This was way back when Obama was far behind her in all the polls. I remember because I'm a Hillary supporter and I felt like jumping through the TV screen to get at Morning Blow's throat for going after Bill and Hillary all the time back then and sticking up for Obama like he was.

[hokies4ever]

16. Scarborough in the tank for Hillary FOR THE DEM NOMINATION

not the overall election

[mtnsnake]

19. A lot of people will disagree, saying Joe's tanking for Obama by slandering Rev Wright

Personally, I'm sticking to it that Morning Blow is tanking for McCain, period, and out to hurt ANY Democrat's chances.

[hokies4ever]

25. I think Joe genuinely likes Hillary

He repeatedly calls her nice names like 'my girl Hillary' and such. He's gone on record saying that he's predicting a very big year for the Democrats in the fall. It's clear he understands that the Dems will win it, even though he doesn't favor them. He also was VERY harsh against McCain earlier in the year, before he sealed the nomination. My favorite quote from Joe Scarborough was his description of McCain's platform, 'Less jobs and more wars'.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/29/joe-scarborough-mccains_n_83955.html
He also blew a fuse one time when Mika suggested that McCain was a conservative. He was pissed and quickly pointed out that McCain was anything but a conservative, from his point of view.

[irish.lambchop]

15. Joe Scarborough

is incapable of 'balancing out' anything. He's an egotistical blowhard with the temperment of a two-year old.

7. Thank you. (n/t)

10. Dangerous, Evil, Lunatic?

It's funny how we begin to debase people for not totally trusting in the US government to be all-benevolent. Does the Tuskegee Experiment ring a bell?

Lunatic is deciding not to read a National Intelligence Estimate and voting to send men and women into a war that was based on a lie and not having the cajones to admit that it was a LIE.

Lunatic is deciding to recant a story of being under sniper fire during a photo op and then deciding to repeat and spread said lie ad nauseaum.

Lunatic is continuously pretending to actually care about sustaining American jobs when the same legislation that has drained the manufacturing sector (NAFTA) led to that very drainage and then convince people (albeit, primarily low-information and uneducated) that somehow the lie was untold.

Who's really the lunatic?

[unpossibles]

22. thank you

how dare Wright use his first amendment rights! </sarcasm>

And frankly even if he's wrong, we as a nation have done very similar things more than once throughout our history. I'm sorry if this hurts people's feelings, but I personally can't blame the guy for his "bitterness" and those who can perhaps need to take a closer look at America, the good and bad.

11. Moron Joe always reminds me how some ESPN guy showed up at the wrong show

Moron Joe might be a good sports DJ reading high school badminton scores and perhaps be an MC for some grade school cheerleading contest, but news...this shit is over his head.

[truthpusher]

13. and I hope none of the * people watching will believe him?

[mmonk]

18. The press isn't trying to understand Wright.

That would require some objectivity on his comments. They are trying to shape the news and thus opinions on him.

[graycem]

20. You would think that

the good Reverend was found with a DEAD intern in his office or something... :eyes:

[Medusa]

23. Scarborough, O'Reilly, Bill Kristol

all in the tank for Hillary, the GOP's gal. Neocons have to stick together don't you know?

[ShortnFiery]

30. For once in a long time, you and I agree on something: "Joey the Scar" is lower than whale shit!
