Rev. Wright Slams Fox News, O'Reilly

This weekend, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright made his first comments since his public sermons made national headlines.

He came out swinging, once again attacking the United States for racism. He also singled out Fox News for criticism.

Speaking Saturday at a eulogy for former appellate Judge R. Eugene Pincham, a member of Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, Wright blamed the Founding Fathers for the woes of blacks today, claiming they “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic.”

Wright cited Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who recently said the country has a “congenital birth defect” owing to its constitutional acceptance of slavery.

But his most heated comments were targeted at Fox News, which he called "Fix News."

“Fox News can’t understand that,” Wright exclaimed. “[Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity’s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”

Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, a member of Wright's church, has distanced himself from some of Wright's comments but refuses to condemn his former pastor or resign from the church.

Our fore fathers may have had slaves but where did the slaves come from?? Blacks in Africa sold other blacks to slave traders to work on American plantations. They also sold slaves to other African countries. Why do I not hear the blacks complain about the black traders from Africa and other countries that also had slaves?? Rev. Wright and other so-called reverends Jackson to name one, live to make millions of dollars off of white people's guilt. I have nothing to be guilty about. None of my long gone relatives owned slaves. Also, the blacks forget what political party fought for the end of racism and segregation in the 50’s and 60’s. It's the Democrat party that fought against the blacks to be able to ride in the front of the bus and other racist things.
Being white, and damn proud of it, there is nothing any of these so-called religious leaders can do to me. Let them try to beat me down or take away my rights, much like the Democrats did to them years ago.

Rice has been a bad girl. LOL

Dr. Condoleezza Rice became the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, on January 22, 2001.

I guess Rev Wright is such a keen judge of countries and history and justice, and this is why he visited and praised the murderous terrorist dictator Khaddafi, and why he regularly denounces America for daring to criticize the likes of murdering dictators like Khaddafi and Castro. Perhaps since you heard there once were some hangings here, and you know Rev Wright is correct, you should go live in one of the utopias that Rev Wright is so fond of. I’m sure places like Cuba and Libya have none of the problems Rev Wright has discovered here. You would be so happy there, even though they’d imprison you, you’d never dare post a comment on a message board there, there is no defense for anyone charged with a crime, no free speech, no privacy, no ownership of anything. In other words, Rev Wright praises countries in which you would be a SLAVE. Yeah, Rev Wright is a brilliant man.

[Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”

Oh, so he didn't think much of Islam either, is that what you are saying Wright? (you certainly "ain't" no Reverend)

What "woes" do blacks have today? You can't blame whitey for someones own failure to pick himself up and make something of himself in this land of the free where like it or not, you are equal to anyone else no matter your color.

The racism that exists in America today is perpetuated by people like YOU, Wright.

The constitution of this land aplies to EVERYONE equally, you racist biggot. There isn't a single seed of "white supremacy' in it.

Wright cited Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who recently said the country has a “congenital birth defect” owing to its constitutional acceptance of slavery.

Care to point it out Wright? Or are we just supposed to take your biggoted word for it?

Wright also described Thomas Jefferson as having engaged in “pedophilia.”

I'd sure like to hear how he comes to that conclusion, and what that even has to do with his claims of him building "slavery" and white supremacy into the constitution.

Get out of this country Wright. It's obviously a horrible place. Go to Africa, your "roots", where you can live without seeing a white face for months, and live in peace and harmony the black race has always enjoyed from the beginning of time there.

Git ‘em Reverend! You go for it! That’s the way to do it! Tear into ‘em! Your parishioner Barak bin Obama is going to be really pleased with you! He really needs your support right now.

Might even put a little something in your collection plate next Sunday.
