Freeperville reeks of rank desperation -- "Bring Back Reverend Wright Immediately"
Folks, they got nuthin'!

Bring Back Reverend Wright Immediately
September 24 2008 | jveritas

Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 9:38:51 AM by jveritas

The McCain campaign and/or the 527 groups on the Republican side should bring back immediately the Reverend of hate, anti-American, and racism back to the debate and not only tie him to Obama but make it in such a forceful and clear way that the majority of voters will not distinguish between the two comes Elections Day.

There is not a single issue that it is more damaging to Obama than his 20 years relationship with Wright church of hate and racism. The ads should be powerful and simple. Clips showing the Reverend of Hate trashing America and spouting his racist propaganda and then immediately followed by Obama hugging Wright and saying all the good stuff about him. Others ads should briefly and clearly explain the basic dogma of the Church that Obama belonged to which is basically marxism, racism, and anti-American.

Obama must pay the heaviest price for his strong ties to Wright and his church. He must not be let off the hook on this one, he must be defeated at any cost. We cannot afford a socialist, defeatist, and left wing liberal to be President. He will bring untold devastation on all levels. Domestically we will become a socialist state and on foreign policy he will make us surrender to our terrorist enemy.

Bring back Wright, defeat Obama, show no mercy.

6. They get high on that "show no mercy" line. I wonder what they would say about
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 08:59 AM by patrice
the People of Chile, Argentina, Indonesia, and Brazil who were tortured and disappeared, some of them by being disembowelled (so their bodies would not float) and thrown from airplanes into the ocean or large lakes. In the name of deal$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ with the United States that were engineered by Milton Friedman. I bet Freepers get a buzz off of this fact.

:evilgrin: No Mercy in fighting the Communitarian spirit. :evilgrin:

7. gee......
The media flogged Rev Wright for weeks straight with their 'outrage' and showing of the clips nonstop. The American people know all of this stuff and don't care. Old news.

8. Bringing back Rev. Wright would be DOOM for the right
The McCain camp will not breathe a word of Rev. Wright. They know the media is pissed off at the McCain camp for the lack of Palin interviews and availability. The media would equally dive into Palin's nut-job preachers and churches and expose her extreme religious views.

The media doesn't want to talk about Rev. Wright. Been there, done that and nothing new to report. It would backfire greatly for the right if they did that. Of course logic and "Freeper" are oxymorons.

22. Remember that week of 24/7 Reverend Wright coverage a few months ago?
I think even CNN admitted that the public was telling them in no uncertain terms that they were sick of it.

Here's a CBS/NYT poll from early May:

* * *

WASHINGTON — Most voters think Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has done a good job handling the controversy surrounding his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, according to a poll released Sunday. In a CBS News/New York Times poll, 60 percent of voters — and 68 percent of Democratic primary voters — said they approved of the way Obama handled the situation.

At a press conference in Washington last Monday, Wright praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and reiterated his beliefs that that the U.S. government may have developed the AIDS virus to infect the black community and that it had invited the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Obama denounced the remarks the next day.

Three-quarters of voters polled said Wright’s statements had not changed their opinion of Obama.

And a majority of those polled — 56 percent — said the news media have spent too much time covering the controversy.

The poll was conducted among a random sample of 671 adults, including 283 Democratic primary voters, from May 1-3. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points for the whole group, plus or minus 5 percentage points for the Democrats.

9. I say go for it - that'll make open season on that nutty church Palin belongs to
If republicans are smart (yeah I know) they'd leave sleeping dogs lie. Because if we pushed the agenda on just how nutty Sarah Palin is with religion they'd scare away alot of mainstream Christian voters.

10. Everyone in America already knows everything there is to know about Obama and Wright

In this economic collapse, the LAST thing people want to hear about is a 6-month-old story being dredged up.


The media is not interested anymore. If the McCain camp tries, they'll be ignored.


All of the voters that the Rev. Wright thing would've pushed to the McCain camp are already there.

20. You're exactly right
But they do want to know what the candidates' are going to do about it.

How can McCain tell them when he and Palin are in hiding.

Straight talk express, yeah right. Open and transparent government. Yeah right.

This from the King of Deregulation.

12. Not much there...Wright pretty much dominated coverage for a solid month
Obama gave a major speech on race and then severed his ties (and thank goodness for that). Looking back, it's great that Wright came back, acted out and was discarded. Without that, the Republicans would still be able to call for closure and Obama would still be asked about his church.

Oh, and did I forget to add that the economy is melting down and, as a result, people don't give a shit about Jeremiah Wright anymore?

17. Associate McCain with himself
They have to try make Obama look bad with guilt by association.

Fact is Obama is pure class, and there's nothing they can point to directly about him. He has had one wife and two adorable daughters.

What can the hateful on the right say? Nothing. Except they call his wife ugly and speculate on what songs his little girls listen to.

They hate that Obama is smarter than McCain. That his wife is intelligent.

Meanwhile they refuse to acknowledge McCain's flawed personality, lack of self control, his lack of respect towards his current wife, his wife's criminal past, graduating bottom of his class, his well re-knowned back-stabbing, Keating, and his own admission that the ONLY reason he would run for president is pure ambition.

And last but not least he is the KING OF DEREGULATION.

18. They can't stand that a black man is kicking their guy's ass.
They know how tough it will be to keep their racist thoughts to themselves for the next 4 to 8 years and they are none too happy about it.

23. Someone should post on that site the Troopergate Tapes.
Wright won't be able to help them nor will they remember his name. Plus we got Muthee...so I don't know what they're getting at.

24. The Wright issue proves Republicans
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 10:23 AM by Poseidan
are un-educated idiots:

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle

Obama can sit in a church for 20 years, entertaining Rev. Wright's thoughts without accepting them. Republicans accept anything their Republican God's tell them, and reject anything from the Democratic Devil's.

27. You know what I just realized?!
Rev. Wright tapes don't sound right in a 30 second commercial. Fox had to give them at least 1.5 minutes to get the full extent. Or it sounds like nothing negative on any end. Plus if people are going to be talking in the commercial, as they always do for about 5-15 seconds...Wright tapes won't be effective AT ALL!!!

Dumbasses. As a commercial it's a bullshit request.

29. Palin's extreme fundie ties have competely defused the "Wright" bomb
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 10:53 AM by DeschutesRiver
Poor freepers for their poor Palin pick by McCain.

Sure, suckers, trot out Wright again. Then up will come Palin's fundie material - and I can assure you the freepers will get the shock of their fundie existence when they realize that most of their fellow republican voters will be far more freaked out by her imaginary positions on AK as a last refuge and the need to be rapture ready, than they are about Wright's expressions of anger and frustration with how real people are treated. That is NOT a republican main stream religious holding; most don't go near that crazy cult shit, and will be as uneasy as we are about this woman with her documented crazy beliefs having her manicured stupid finger on the nuke button. Right now, they aren't paying attention, and even those who've heard it just dismiss it as being too fantastical to be true (unless they grew up in/around this type of cult style religion as practiced by the Palin crew).

Bringing up Wright will make for the perfect opportunity to showcase and highlight and thump home Palin's beliefs to the general public, in a way we've been constrained from doing so far, I guess due to timing of when you strike the blow. Without cause, people would dismiss this from dems and in fact, just think we are being petty. If they throw the Wright blow, and we just respond, then people will be more open minded and listen. I think the fundie freepers are just so into their off-mainstream religious opinions that they have no clue as to how bizarre and frightening (at least for a VP candidate) their practices will seem to the general voting public. Caught up in their cult life, they are missing a big clue here.

This opportunity would be second only to the gift given by the bad economic news, which is the only silver lining to that black cloud that I can see. I am really hoping that the Presidential debate that deals with the economy comes right after the October mailing of everyone's 401k pension statements - if that is the timing, then McCain has met his Waterloo.
