3. I'm totally flabergasted...and impressed with the coverage on CNN.
What's FauxNews's spin? I haven't scrolled over there yet.

20. They don't know what to say!
But come tomorrow morning,
the minds will have narrowed, and it'll be the usual
bigoted, narrow point of view...

They have to have a conference call to get the talking points...

4. It's brilliant how he's been given a chance to show his true spirit.
He speaks from a place rooted and informed from deep and pervasive historical underpinnings. It would do some good for those detractors of the good Reverend to brush up on their cultural competence continuum:

-Cultural Destructiveness (negative end of the scale)

-Cultural Incapacity

-Cultural Blindness

-Cultural Pre-competence

-Cultural Competency

-Cultural Proficiency (positive end of the scale)

18. Soladad was stating a fact, she was in no way putting AA's down

Soladad is a person of color and she was deeply moved by Rev. Wright.

She was simply trying to explain the difference in the Church experience.

Go Soladad ~ great you are!

She is not in the Spin Zone.

11. If CNN thought Rev. Wright was going to run over Obama
They are putting that bus in reverse right now. To their credit, they went straight to the source of the story and let the chips fall. In this case, they fell in a nice, neat little pile on the side of truth.

12. It's the biggest train wreck ever - mocking JFK. It's OVER!1 What is "EEEus?!" wtf was THAT?!1
And as for his saying that NOBODY has been criticized for their English, uh-------- has the WRIGHT man consulted Hispanic children from the '40s and '50s?!1 Apparently NOT!1


Now listen to AIRHEAD Rick Sanchez, "Do you think this will HELP HILLARY CLINTON?!1"

13. He didn't mock JFK
He pointed out different pronunciations that were not called bad English.

Thanks Dick Durbin.

16. Is Reverend Wright your own..
personal pinata to smash and bash? Is the man your favorite dog to kick? Do you know or care what his life or his work is about?

17. Poor thing, he was not able to follow along with Rev. Wright

The Rev. is a superb scholar and gave America a lesson today.

There are always some slow learners.

Perhaps it will sink in in two - three years.

:crazy:

23. Yeah...one way or another...

"They attack the one man with their hate and their shower of weapons. But he is like some rock which stretches into the vast sea and which, exposed to the fury of the winds and beaten against by the waves, endures all the violence."--- Virgil


No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

21. When you heard his experience and education and that he speaks 5 languages - what anchor has that???
The man that introduced him was fantastic and told all about his being a Marine and helping Pres. LBJ! How could a stupid anchor talk with intelligence that is more based in reality than Rev. Wright? None that I know of!!!!!

I believe change is going to come too!!!!!1

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

24. When has CNN ever done something like this other than Natalie
Holloway? :sarcasm:

Seriously, I am still in shock that they would keep showing it completely.

Did they think they were in danger of an FCC violation?
