Wright is speaking at the National Press Club?

What am I missing? Why has this purveyor of hate all of a sudden become the toast of the liberal media?

I guess I just answered my own question.

From the NPC Calendar

Event Name: Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright
Event Date: Apr. 28, 2008
Event Type: NPC Breakfast
Time: 8:30 AM
Sponsored by: Speakers Committee
Event Location: Ballroom

Details: The Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., senior pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, will discuss the role of faith in the public square in a presentation entitled, The African American Religious Experience; Theology & Practice, at a National Press Club breakfast on April 28th.

Dr. Wright will also talk about his pastorate, his development as a theologian and teacher, and the how the issues of social justice and global inequities have shaped his faith and his fight for those who are most marginalized in society. He will address the legacy and tradition of education in his family. And Dr. Wright will put into perspective theologically, historically and politically, his ministry and public service that has been so widely discussed in the media.

Dr. Wright will retire from Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago in June, where he served the 8,000-member congregation for 36 years. While at Trinity he developed nearly 100 active ministries/outreach programs and seven separate corporations that continue to serve the greater Chicago community. He is a sought after lecturer and teacher and speaks at some of the nation's most prestigious universities and seminaries.

The National Press Club breakfast will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m.

The National Press Club is located at 14th and F Streets, NW, one block west of Metro Center. More information about the Club and its programs is found on its Internet website: press.org.

While at Trinity he developed nearly 100 active ministries/outreach programs and seven separate corporations that continue to serve the greater Chicago community.

Anyone care to guess if any or all of those seven corporations get their funding from taxpayer dollars via Chicago 'Rat party "grants" and other government allocations? I also have to wonder if the Wrong Revrrrund Wright gets any salary from those seven corporations?

Gosh, I can sure see how he would be a heroic figure to the DC "press"! I think the Wrong Revrrrund Wright, Barack Hussein Obama and the MSM would call me a gun-clinging, bible-reading, bitter, cynical, conservative.

This may turn out to be a media-noteworthy Freep. So far since yesterday, I have seen (or heard) mention of the Wrong Revrrrund Wright's shindig at the NPC on Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin (IIRC), O'Reilly, Fox 'n Friends... and Michelle Malkin has also mentioned it on her blog.

We may have a larger crowd of like-minded folks to join in singing "God Bless America" outside Wright's damage-control appearance at the NPC.

...aha - that's exactly what it is. You guys gotta be there to make sure at least a few hard-balls are thrown. Just hope the MSM pays at least some attention to you. That would be awesome. obaMA can't come out looking like a victim in all of this.

God bless you guys.

&&&&

Interesting mention this morning on a local “black” radio station.

They were criticizing J Wright for accepting the invitation of a “white” organization after he has refused to be interviewed on their radio show.

They were calling him an ‘amnesiac.’


Another thought —

E J Dionne has an article in Investors Business Daily, claiming that the ad run in NC which shows video of Rev Wright’s rantings, is “playing the race card.”
Yet the apologists FOR the Rev claim that what he has said is typical of what people hear on Sundays in certain churches across America. They are using their racial ‘difference’ as an excuse.

This double standard/couble talk needs to be exposed.

More attention!

Wright when Obama thought it was over
His lightning-rod former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, is poised to reignite one of the most damaging controversies for the presidential candidate by jumping into the spotlight with a PBS interview Friday night and a Washington speech next week.

Wright said the media coverage of his incendiary sermons has been "unfair," "unjust," "untrue" and "devious," according to interview excerpts.

In other words, do not act like Rev Wright does during his “church” sermons.

folks, i watched "Reverend Wright" on satellite TV.

fwiw, i believe that he unwittingly has begun the process of SINKING Obama's campaign.

it will NOT help "duh big Oh" that The Nation of Islam is PROVIDING PROTECTION TO "revrund wrong" (btw, there were two "Fruit of Islam" thugs standing around "revrund wrong" at the NPC.)

the FOI is the same group of THUGS that "protects" Louis Farrakhan.

I imagine there will be a report, either on this thread or a new one.

I do know that the plan seems to be to have signs and dialog with people when the are arriving, thus the reason for the Free Republic event starting a bit before the speech.

Hopefully they will get reactions from the attendees as they leave.

I think he's been unwittingly used as a pawn to sink Obama's campaign.

I never in a million years thought the MSM would allow Obama to become the Dem candidate...they worship at the Clinton alter. They knew this guy would say inflammatory things and that would be the end of the Obama problem.
