After Barack Obama gave his big race speech in mid-March, many critics noted that the Illinois senator had thrown his own grandmother under the bus to defend his controversial pastor. Well, Wright proved over the last few days that he would not be outdone.

      Typical right-wing bust up designed to keep americans dumb and docile for their fleecing by the elite. Here we see how easy many of them are to sucker.

      My Pastor Is Holier Than Yours

      ... The mainstream media is having a field day with this minutia while parading "experts" on both politics and religion across our screen. Hours of air time are spent on this trivia while the soldiers keep dying in Iraq, the criminality of the Pentagon policies, the brutal treatment, not only of our prisoners, but of our "all-volunteer" servicewomen, is conveniently swept under the rug and onto the back pages of the newspapers....

      There's not much anyone can say to convince you people that this is FAR from the most important thing you should consider when electing a president.

      If you don't like what Obama would do if elected, fine. But for people who complain about thought crimes and political correctness--as most of you who are gloating on this thread do--to take issue with the words of a man who's not running for president, and the words Obama has disavowed, is ridiculous.

      So I'll just leave you all with these two columns about the hysteria over Wright, from the Chicago Sun-Times. If you're honest about why you want one person to be president over another, you'll read them and actually consider what they say. If not, well..."If the shoe fits...":

      News Flash! This is Jonah, the Jew Conservative Fox at Fox news bringing you the latest update on the Bantirooster and his pastor, ChickenWright Little. Yes, Little proclaimed the sky is falling, and it was the Fox's fault. Bantirooster, who wants to be head Chicken of the Hen house, had to deny that Chickenwright, after being cooped up with him all these years, is just a little out in left field. But I want you to know, chickens, that I Jonah the Jew Conservative, think that Bantirooster is just as far to the left as his pastor, Rev. Little. Therefore, I think you ought to vote for Leghorn Rooster as the head chicken because he represents more of us conservatives who want to conserve your chicken breasts, errr, I mean wants to conserve you chickens. This is Jonah the Jew Conservative Fox for Fox news making your conservative views known throughout the chicken coop. Have a nice day. Slurp, your legs look nice girls, you good looking little hens.

        He did - for the last 20 years.

        If Wright's remarks weren't taken out of context after all, we are left with a situation in which Obama knowingly attended the church of an anti-white bigot.

        Perhaps he fantasises about what his life would have been like if his (black)father had been there when he was growing up, and blames his (white)mother.

      Rev Wright is a hateful man and apparently a spiteful one, too. How does a person like this get to be the spiritual leader of a flock of 3000?

        GOOD question, Wolfie2007. How DOES a person like this get to be the spiritual leader of a flock of 3000? More astounding, is how DID someone like Obama end up wasting so many years listening to him when Obama is supposed to be intelligent?

        That in and of itself should tell you that he can't be as bad as you want to believe he is! That church has members of all races and they all aren't stupid enough to sit and listen to nothing but hate speech for, as you all love to parrot "20 yrs!" (Boy do you guys know how to s-t-r-e-t-c-h 30 second sound bites!)

          Hillary will keep the Rev Wright story on front page for the rest of the primary season. She is making a statement about it on O"Reilly tonight. This is not going away. Michele Obama was no Chris Matthews tonight, and refused to agree with Barak about the Rev Wright. She is obviously still is in his corner no matter what Brak is saying. Plus, the Reverend is retired. He can go anywhere anytime to make speeches, or be interviewed, and I think he is angry about this young man, he mentored, brought him to where he is today, and then throws him under the bus. No. Oh no.

            "Retired" is what Obama keeps saying about Wright

            Wright is the pastor emeritus of Trinity - he moved to the CEO position.

          It is a great shame to be an Obama supporter today. Which Obama do you support? The one who said he never heard Wright's sermons in 20 years? Or the Obama who defended Wright? Or the Obama who threw Wright under the bus, next to his grandmother? Either way, to support Obama is to go against your beliefs, regardless of your beliefs. Obama has "changed" direction several times. Yes, he is the "agent of change". Too bad it's his core beliefs he keeps changing as the wind blows...

          What I love is that the Wright story was not getting any real traction until Obama's bitter statement. At that point people started thinking that maybe the pastor and church were a problem. PA dropped 20 points and a big ad campaign brought it back to 10 points. Indiana and NC are sliding toward Clinton.

          This is going to be a down and dirty fight.

            Anderson Cooper lambasted Davis for daring to repeat Wright's comments. Time's Joe Klein chimed in, "You're spreading the poison right now." AMAZING! These boneheads don't care that WRIGHT is still spreading the hatred! For pete's sake he is the origin of those words, the writer of the sermons. Hey Anderson Cooper and Joe Klein Davis isn't the problem. Why don't you tell Jeremiah Wright he is "spreading the poison." Wright is to blame. WRIGHT IS CLEARLY WRONG. But since he is black few will challenge him for fear of being called a racist. All you have to do is challenge or disagree with him and your a racist and a bigot. Obama has shown poor judgement in staying in a church for 20 years where his children were exposed to such disturbing hatred during their formative years. The Obama's should have left the church. Perhaps political ambitions had priority. No doubt Wright's friendship has help Obama climb the Chicago Machine's political ladder.

            Ed Schultz was on MSNBC, and he thinks Obama might have to get down, and dirty to win Indiana. Like he hasn't been negative before now. He is just a Sweety. Reality check. Barak Obama is a corrupt Chicago machine politician. They don't come in "clean"

              Like many on liberal talk radio and in the blogosphere, Ed Schultz is so far in the tank for Obama that he can't separate real world from his fantasy. Sort of a leftish Limbaugh.

                The races are mixed now and Rev. Wright acts out his fears of a changing world. Could any one imagine that the NAACP and Affirmative action may not be needed?

                  Reverend Wright Delivers the Knockout Punch

                  Reverend Jeremiah Wright appeared on PBS Bill Moyers Journal on Friday night and delivered a knockout punch to the bully-boys in the corporate media. It was an impressive performance that left the political assassins over at FOX News choking on their sausage-rolls. Wright showed that he is neither a fanatic nor an "America hater"; just an extremely well-read and principled man with an unsh
