REV. WRIGHT IS A GOP PLANT!

[BobbyVan]

The timing of this stinks to high heaven, pardon the pun.

Cui bono? Pro-war Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

Here's my theory, which has the benefit of explaining Rev. Wright's heretofore inexplicable actions.

Read this story. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/06/cbsnews_investigates/main3456977.shtml

A GOP Senate Committee has been investigating a number of preachers of the "prosperity gospel." Presumably, if anything illegal comes up, referrals will be made to the Department of Justice for prosecution.

Whose name is not on the list? That's right, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Of course, he does not preach the "prosperity gospel" (he's a preacher of late 60's / 70's style black liberation theology), but Rev. Wright does live rather large. Read this about Rev. Wright and his million dollar mansion.

Now, don't you think that if a Republican Senate Committee was going after preachers (many of those mentioned in the CBS article are social conservatives that play a big role in mobilizing the GOP base), it would also go after easy targets like Rev. Wright? Of course they would, unless they were using the committee to squeeze preachers in the black community.

Does it all make sense now? Rev. Wright is trying to destroy Obama as a peace offering to the Senate investigators and the Department of Justice.

Please, someone do some good shoe leather reporting and expose this story before Obama is destroyed by it.

[Better Believe It]

1. Nonsense!

[MNDemNY]

2. Worse then that.........He's CIA !!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Has been since leaving the Marines.(fabulous cover, don't ya think?)

[RememberWellstone]

28. How about KGB? Or FBI?

Maybe he's a Reagan democrat that harbors hate for the democratic party.:headbang:

[Seen the light]

3. No, he's just a vindictive moron

A Republican plant though? :rofl:

[KittyWampus]

4. I do think ego is a part of it for Wright, he's human. But mainly, he's not media savvy.

[BobbyVan]

10. I disagree - he knows exactly what he's doing

He's trying to destroy Obama.

[springhill]

17. Oh I just love this...........

A few days ago he was the Great Reverend Wright, now he needs to go away. His words were true and his heart was pure; funny how things change.

[dflprincess]

22. I agree with the caller I heard on Hartmann

that Wright wants Obama to lose so he (Wright) can continue to rant about how racist America is. Not that an Obaman win means there is no racism, but it would make it harder to claim the majority of the country is bigoted.

[shaniqua6392]

5. He is Obama's former pastor.

Unfortunately. I sure wish this would go away.

[MNDemNY]

And "spiritual adviser of twenty years" (Obama's words, not mine.)

[BobbyVan]

9. The two aren't mutually exclusive

"I'm his pastor, and I said to Barack Obama last year, if you get elected November 5, I'm coming after you." Sounds threatening to me.

[RaleighNCDUer]

23. IN CONTEXT

He has spent his career railing against the unresponsive government, and when Obama is elected he will BE that government - meaning, "I'm not pulling my punches against you just because you're my parishioner; I will hold you accountable".

Context is everything.

[MNDemNY]

29. Also in context,Wright said he said those thins to Obama a YEAR ago.

But Obama didn't know?????

[RaleighNCDUer]

31. When did Obama deny this conversation? nt

[MNDemNY]

32. He claims to have had no idea as to the crazy sermons of Wright, until just weeks ago.

I call bullshit.

[RaleighNCDUer]

35. That was in a private conversation he had with Obama last November,

I believe it was. It was NOT part of any sermon when he said it, and Obama has never denied that conversation. He HAS said that he heard him say many provocative things over the years, but he was in Florida at the time of the "god damn america" sermon, and so did not hear THAT sermon.

For you to not know that after all this time can only be seen as willful ignorance - you are NOT looking at the facts, but only operating out of your own prejudice.

The bullshit is all yours.

[MNDemNY]

36. Do you really believe that after 20 years Obama had no ideaof the reverend's world view?

Again I call bullshit.

[RaleighNCDUer]

38. Wright's world view is not what you purport it to be,

and Obama has never denied knowing what Wright's world view is. And he has said, repeatedly, that he disagrees with some of it.

You strawman is a little soggy.

[MNDemNY]

37. F U and your implication of racism.

Too damn bad your guy is a good as gone. Too bad his miscalculations of the reverends impact have "come home to roost".

[BobbyVan]

39. It's open warfare now between Wright and Obama

If Wright strikes back, then we'll know he's truly a GOP stooge.

[RaleighNCDUer]

41. Racism?

Prejudice: 1) a judgment or opinion formed before the facts are known; preconceived idea, favorable or, more usually, unfavorable. 2a) a judgment or opinion held in disregard of facts that contradict it; unreasonable bias. b) the holding of such judgments or opinions.

Why do you assume racism?

[Peregrine Took]

6. That is one butt ugly house. n/t

[blogslut]

7. Tell it to Art Bell

This crap is getting old

[NYCGirl]

8. Wright isn't, but you are. NT

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. under the "god damn" O bus with you Rev!!!

[jpalmer]

13. What's scary about Obama and Wright is

..That Obama was a member of his church for 20 years. That's a long time to keep a GOP plan together. Even Darth Rove may not be capable of something like that.

[BobbyVan]

15. Wright's media tour at this critical juncture of the campaign is what is suspicious

I don't believe he was a GOP stooge for his entire career. But now, I'd be looking long and hard at his associations... His actions are benefiting pro-war forces -- that is quite a departure from his previous rhetoric, and make you wonder whose bidding he is doing.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

12. Nah, He's Just Acting A Bit Stupid. Not As Stupid As This OP Though.

[BlackVelvet04]

14. LOL....you contradict your own theory....

A GOP Senate Committee has been investigating a number of preachers of the "prosperity gospel."

"Of course, he does not preach the "prosperity gospel"

Bless your little heart....DUH.

[BobbyVan]

16. They aren't investigating the prosperity gospel per se, just preachers who enrich themselves

[walldude]

18. Step away from the sharp objects please..

If you are trying to help Obama, please stop.

[Innocent Smith]

19. Yeah he's a plant --- A shrinking violet.

[BobbyVan]

21. Yeah, right!

The man is a menace.

[rucky]

20. Thanks for the satire

[RepublicanElephant]

24. good grief.

rev wright is simply responding to all the sensational crap being stirred-up by the msm, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the gop.

i watched the entire naacp speech and the entire national press club speech, and if you listen very carefully, with an open mind, you see the man was preaching the truth from the african-american perspective/experience.

he's no gop plant. but the gop/msm uses distorted, out of context SOUND BITES to do what they do best: scare the hell out of uninformed americans.

the real problem, as usual, is not rev wright... is THE GOP-CONTROLLED MAINSTREAM MEDIA!

do you think any of this nonsense would be happening if we had cronkite, murrow, the fairness doctrine?

i wished that instead of wasting all this time and energy on issues that won't restore our world standing, our economy, our civil liberties, or reduce poverty and increase healthcare, end this fake war on terror... that we focus on the elaborate propaganda system we have in this country.

can't we spend our "rev wright time" helping moveon and democrats.org get more issue ads on tv to counter the endless msm nonsense and distraction? and maybe send a letter or two to the editor? turn friends and relatives on to honest, independent tv, like "linktv/democracy now!", "go left tv", etc.


"We have to fix the press: restore journalistic ethics in this country, and that is by bringing back the fairness doctrine and strengthening the FCC. The Fairness Doctrine was abolished by Ronald Reagan in 1988, and it recognized that the airwaves belong to the public; that the broadcasters can be licensed to use them to make a profit, but they use them with the proviso that their primary obligation is to advance democracy and promote the public interest. They have to inform the public because a democracy cannot survive an uninformed public."
-- robert f. kennedy, jr.

[graycem]

25. Oh boy...

I admit it.. I planted Rev. Wright to take Senator Obama down, I'm not really a supporter.... I heart John McCain. Please stop these nonsense conspiracy theories. This gives people ammunition to say Obama's supporters are bonkers. :eyes:

[frickaline]

26. anyone care to join in a collective Stewartist, "wwhhhhhhaaaaaa?!?"

Wow, good plant to have thought 15 years in advance.

[beachmom]

27. No. Wright is not part of the prosperity gospel and he is no way extravagant like them.

This is just him doing what he's doing. It's about his ego.

[barack the house]

30. Wright's speech was very, flattering to Obama at the end. It is better this is finsihed...

now than the GE. Sarch part 5 of the speech on youtube.

[Orsino]

33. No, but the MSM can spot a howard Beale a mile away.

They knew he could be counted upon to put on a show.

[BobbyVan]

34. And Obama knows it - that's why Obama threw him under the bus today

[Jamastiene]

40. I'm pulling up a chair as soon as the microwave goes off.

:popcorn: :beer:

[Freedom Train]

42. Wouldn't that reflect even more poorly on Obama?

How stupid would you have to be to follow the teachings of a GOP plant for 20 years?

[Raejeanowl]

43. Yes, They Planted Him 20 Years Ago n/t
