As defenses go, it was right up there with "but oshifer, I was too drunk to see that stop sign." That's the league in which I'd put the defense of Barack Obama over the Rev. Wright mess that Mika Brzezinski offered this morning.

Responding to Chris Matthews' question on yesterday's Hardball as to why he never left Rev. Wright's church, Obama claimed "I never heard [Rev. Wright] say those things that were in those clips." On today's Morning Joe, two of the three panelists weren't buying. The genial Willie Geist came down off the fence where he often resides to frame the issue.

WILLIE GEIST: The fact remains, a lot of people, and these are people we all talk to, say "if I went into a church with my children, and the pastor said 'God damn America' and the rest of these things, you just wouldn't go back to that church." There are other places to go.

That's when Brzezinski began her bad Johnnie Cochran impression.

Mika does bad Johnnie Cochran impression ping to Today show list.

"I never heard [Rev. Wright] say those things that were in those clips."

I never had sex with that woman.

[Guenevere]

Sheeesh, talk about timing...

..On another thread, I just kinda, sorta but not exactly held her up as an OK example compared to the cleavage & short, tight skirted dollies on FOX....

...oh well, I know Mika is liberal....look who her daddy is...

..but as far as I'm concerned, they're ALL....MSNBC, FOX, CNN THE SAME.

Remember to these scumbags on the left, neither the rosenbergs nor alger hiss were guilty either. The step up and marry a lie and stick to it no matter what proof is shown to them. Their marriage to lies is the only one they don't believe in divorcing.

[Guenevere]

Actually, now that I've watched it, she makes a good point.

They weren't shocked because it was commonplace for Wright to talk like this.

And Joe Scarborough makes a good point too...

People, like him, FIND OUT what happens in a church he attends or doesn't attend (he wasn't clear on that point)

But he heard about it, and he makes it clear Obama is more than disingenuous to continue with the 'I didn't hear it' jive.

If the quip don’t fit,you must acquit!

[syriacus]

Thanks for the report, governsleastgovernsbest.

Looks like even Mika can’t deny that the parishioners of Trinity UCC are brainwashed.

Thanks, syriacus. Wouldn’t want Mika as my mouthpiece if anything was on the line!

[samtheman]

Hussein is getting somewhat of a pass on this right now because Billary is so incredibly bad and stupid... but this story isn’t going away.

[johnny7]

Not surprising for this pinhead to brush aside the Wright agenda. Mika is a Jew-baiter just like her old man... and his ex-boss.

[Drawsing]

And if you read Obama's book "Dreams of my Father" it becomes clear that Obama is just as, if not more, race-obsessed than his pastor. Read Ann Coulter's column on this.

[King Hawk]

Barack and his family are militant negros...period! His wife let it slip some weeks ago and it’s beginning to gush. There will be more!!!!

[Coldwater Creek]

I live in the Memphis, Tenn. area, and was not shocked at Mr. Wright’s rantings, as it is commonplace to hear Black pastors spewing the same vile words.

[Fox_Mulder77]

I’m HOPING to much for this but, when will one of these cable stations do a special on Black Liberation Theology?

As Obama and his followers like to say, “let’s have a discussion on race”. What better place to start the discussion? They say all black churches believe in this garbage....... so let’s see what this garbage is all about in order for us to, “come together and understand where black people are coming from.”

Of course that will never happen. People are going to be shocked when they see what Wright’s mentor and leading black liberation theologian James Cone wrote,

“In the New Testament, Jesus is not for all, but for the oppressed, the poor and unwanted of society, and against oppressors ... Either God is for black people in their fight for liberation and against the white oppressors, or he is not. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”

[DustyMoment]

Obama claimed "I never heard [Rev. Wright] say those things that were in those clips."

And he thinks this will convince voters that he is presidential material?? The lights are just starting to be turned up on this guy. It could get VERY bumpy for him from here on out.

[syriacus]

Wouldn’t want Mika as my mouthpiece if anything was on the line!

Good thinking.

[camle]

one comment of wright’s that is largely ignored is his insistance that the CIS developed the AIDS virus. I only hoep that we’re holding that back in reserve.
