Brazile: 'Wright One of the More Moderate Black Preachers'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/16/2008 12:00:42 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

How much trouble is Barack Obama in over the extremism of Jeremiah Wright? Enough that Dem strategist Donna Brazile has been reduced to arguing that as black preachers go, Wright is relatively moderate. Enough that the normally affable Brazile got a bit short with Time editor Mark Halperin, he of the infamous memo to his subordinates during the 2004 presidential campaign while serving as ABC News political director.

The comments came during the panel discussion on today's This Week with George Stephanopoulos on ABC.

check this link out, the first chapter is written by Wright On page four he speaks about his mentors admiration of Marxist reasoning, “he explained the Hegelian method of dialectical thinking, reasoning and arguing.”

They are indoctrinating their children. These pictures were at the lab school on Gramling Campus around the Jena 6 mess. These were five and six year olds.

Most black churches I am aware of do not reflect this attitude either. However, as a white male, it would be racist for me to dare to disagree with Ms. Brazile, so I will take her at her word.

I read somewhere that Wright’s home in Chicago is worth three quarters of a mill or some such number. I bet it would be fascinating to track his finances. The apparent and the hidden as well.

Yes, his home is assessed at 3/4 MIL, and he supposedly drives a Porsche. And yet in that one sermon, he kept screaming "rich, white people". Wonder what he thinks he should be called.

This would never, repeat: never, have seen the light of day in the MSM unless Hillary was behind it.

Now honestly, do you think McCain and the eunuchs at the RNC would have exposed this charlatan “preacher” and his connection to Obama?

If Hussein was smart now, he'd start up a laundry list of Clinton scandals...

Oh, yeah. It isn't as if there were a shortage. Before this is over we're going to have a civil war in the media as well. Hussein's ring-kissers versus the Hildebeast's. Shoulda bought some popcorn futures...

That’s exactly what they were doing. I just wished I had saved all of the pictures from that incident. They had children in shackles and chains too.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,298778,00.html

GRAMBLING, La. — Officials at Grambling State University were meeting Monday after the school newspaper ran photographs of adults at a campus-run elementary school putting a noose around at least one child’s neck.

Kindergarten and first-grade students at Alma J. Brown Elementary School were being taught why nooses are a symbol of racism, an article from the historically black university’s student newspaper said.

The article said the children also were being taught about the “Jena Six” — black high-school students who are accused of beating a white schoolmate. Court proceedings brought about 20,000 to 25,000 people to Jena, about 70 miles from Grambling, for a civil rights march in September.

WHAT! Moderate? Is she smoking crack?

I believe that Wright is a moderate compared to some of the black preachers that Brazile knows.

Which tells us a lot about Brazile and the company she keeps

It's true that kids are not born racists. As we can see from your pictures and accompanying story, they must be taught to be racists.

I will assume she sees what she says, but I see something very different.

Well, she's right.

And Hitler was one of the more moderate German Leaders.

You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little year,
You’ve got to be carefully taught.

Funny, how shoe’s on the other foot now.

This is Hillery’s “kitchen sink”. She offered Obama the VP with her but he declined. He is gonna wish he had taken her up on that. I doubt anyone would want him and on their ticket now.

Brazile is a scorching racist.

My favorite classic of hers is “don't let the white boys win” in referring to the Republicans in 2000.

It really pisses me off that this incident was swept under the rug. The media was on it for a couple of days then when the school said they were suspended with pay they moved on to another story. I’m sure those “teachers” are back at work.
