Rev. Wright says 'devious' forces behind use of his words against Obama

In a rare interview, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. said media organizations that circulated controversial sound bites of his sermons on the Internet wanted to paint him as "un-American" or "some sort of fanatic" in order to bring down Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

"I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ," Wright told journalist Bill Moyers in the first interview he has granted since comments critical of U.S. policies surfaced on television and the Internet.

" 'And by the way, guess who goes to his church, hint, hint, hint?' That's what they wanted to communicate. They know nothing about the church."

I read the full article. Jeremiah Wright is subliminally asserting the Devil made him say those things and now the devil is wrecking havoc, again. Does he privately think a conspiracy made him say these things, and now a conspiracy is making him the foil for BO’s election troubles? All that does is underscore and highlight and feed into what he’s been saying from the pulpit for how many years. He really does not see that anything he’s said was “wrong”. So, does that make him in cahoots with the devil? Or, rather, was it all due the fault of “white man’s” syntax, and that’s why “White America” doesn’t understand and appreciate his words.

Good analysis.

Hey, Rev Wright—you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.

And you can NEVER fool FReepers!

P.S. Bill Moyers is a Commie tool.
