CNN | 27 April 2008

[SE Mom]

Jeremiah Wright speaking live now.

Fascinating.

You can also get it live streaming from CNN

[El Gran Salseron]

“The man that Rick Sanchez hit later died from his
injuries.”

That was apparently after he left Houston.

McCain on Rev Wright,Obama and ads.......

“I’ve stated my position very clearly that I don’t like the ad. I was interested that this morning Senator Obama said it was a legitimate political issue. If he believes that, then it will probably be a political issue. I saw yesterday some additional comments that have been revealed by Pastor Wright, one of them comparing the United States Marine Corps with Roman Legionnaires who were responsible for the death of our Savior, I mean being involved in that. It’s beyond belief. And then of course saying that Al Qaeda and the American flag were the same flags. So I can understand, I can understand why people are upset about this. I can understand why Americans, when viewing these kinds of comments, are angry and upset. Just like they view Senator Obama’s statements about why people turn to their faith and their values. He believes that it’s out of economic concerns. We all know it’s out of a fundamental belief, a fundamental faith in this country and its values and its principles. Again, Senator Obama, out of touch. I can’t control, and will not in future, control. I will voice my opinion. And I will continue to say that I think that ad should not be run. But I won’t continue to try to be the referee here.”

Basically Sanchez got away with vehicular homicide, probably because he was popular at the cop house and the DA’s office.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, indeed.....times of suffering ahead with any of these 3....May God help this nation and help us all....and He will!

[W-Girl]

MoDo had it right on Wright .....

HE IS A WACKADODDLE !!

The JFK impression will make a “priceless” sound bite !!

Obama is history ...Wright committed a black on black crime tonight !!

[denydenydeny]

"Rev. Wright is awesome. I wish he’d come visit our Parish."

I guess so he can call an 18 year old murder victim "a white girl who went to Aruba to give it up." So Christian.

Juan McCain - He's a ball of fire, ain't he?

We are SO screwed

[Miss Didi]

Thanks for posting that...I had no idea McCain made those comments.

[RoseofTexas]

Best C.B. show ever. I laughed so hard tears were running down my cheeks when I saw that episode!

[clintonh8r]

Yeah, the Kennedy mocking was pretty shocking. I guess next he’ll immitate FDR in a wheelchair. I hope all the guilt-ridden white liberals will get a good, long look at this stuff.

[airedale]

I agree with your comments.

Hello,

I am not sure that Reverend Wright is atypical, but just as there is no typical white person, there is also no typical black. I do now believe that this is more prevalent in their community than I would have thought before this point in time.

It saddens me, it insults me, it makes a mockery of what I have taught my son. That is: All people deserve respect until they act in such a way that they deserve to lose respect.

What a pathetic, yet eyeopening turn of events, we get to see that no matter what we do, we are hated for things that we had no part in and did not do.

"It’s Rev. Wright Week [Byron York] Thanks to CNN for re-airing the entire Jeremiah Wright speech for those of us who missed it, complete with unabashedly pro-Wright commentary from the flamboyantly dressed Roland Martin and Soledad O’Brien. But here’s a question: Is there any imaginable set of circumstances in which all this exposure of Rev. Wright — giving us that much-discussed “context” we’ve often heard about — is a good thing for Barack Obama?"

CNN's coverage was just deranged. They put the best possible spin on this imaginable as if the Obama campaign was directing the commentary. In fact, Durbin is with the Obama campaign. Oh...

There's no way anyone in their right mind could say that was a good speech for Obama politically.

[Marathoner]

Is that the same Dickie that TGO calls “Little” Dick Durbin?

Yep, the one and only.

[clintonh8r]

No way Dirtbin would have come out late on a Sunday night unless there is damage control to be done. This is going to stick to Mr. B. Hussein Obama....

[SE Mom]

You’re right. But what we’re seeing is the utterly “different” (to borrow a word from Rev Wright) world in which Soledad O’Brien and those who think the way she does...inhabit.

And- God help us all- they vote.

Re: The irony is that Obama is the son of a white American woman and an economist from Kenya. He has little in common with African-American history.

Further ironic is that nObama does not know squat about them gun and religion clining regular folk that do not live in Liberal Chi-town, the Eastern Elites or San Fran Dems.

BTW Rick Sanatize-It! on CNN just read an e-amil that praised the courge of CNN to rerun Wright's speech.

This is kind'a like that old line from Howard Hawk's The Thing From Anorther World:

Lt. Ken McPherson: What if he can read our minds?

Eddie (and me here and now): He'll be real mad when he gets to me.

[Jet Jaguar]

Agree with your comment. I watched CNN afterwards, and I was appalled.

Same with the spouse, she insisted I turn it off...

[Shortstop7]

CNN is going to replay it again in 5 minutes. Hmmm...

[Rosemont]

Rick Sanchez only read out Pro Wright e mails...CNN is in the tank
