MSNBC is covering live- as CNN and FOX probably are as well...
FYI
***
Can someone tell me what percentage of rap songs are written in 6/8?
I understand Reverend Wright will be talking about the Black church and its politics.
If what he told Sean Hannity (whose head it went right over) a year ago, he will be talking about Liberation Theology’s roots in Nicaragua under the Sandinistas.
Today may be the day Barack Obama’s campaign officially dies.
A prayer for this event:
I pray that there would be great discerning among those present and who hear or later read the words spoken, that eyes and ears would be opened and reject evil leaders.
I pray that the evil strongholds of hate and revenge and unforgiveness and pride would be torn down in many hearts,
In Jesus’ Name, Whose Truth is marching on.
C-Span will start showing the speech @ 9 AM- apparently not going live with it..
I love this man. Just when you think he has bottomed, he keeps on digging. The gift that just won’t stop giving.
I thought Obomba told Wright to shut up and lay low until after the election. If he has so little influence on his supporters, how will he fare with unfriendly world leaders?
America, to our shock and dismay, has discovered a main viper’s den of racial division and ignorance....it was right there in Chicago the whole time. You can’t tell me that people didn’t know about this in the media....20 years of covering this up. How do the people in the MSM, who call themselves journalists, sleep with themselves at night?
MSNBC just announced the time has been bumped up to 9 AM- would you please change the time on the title? Thanks!
Just like Clinton, he cares more about his own fame and fortune than the best interests of his “friends”.
What a total scum-bag.
That scum-bag Obama deserves him.
Oh, goody.
Scarborough speaking about ebonics and Wright on MSNBC.
Listening to Chris Matthews on the phone with Mika- he is not happy about the speech last night- discussing how the Obamas have to dump him over the side- and that Wright is helping Hillary..
Chris Matthews, not Scarborough. My mistake.
If Matthews is worried- we all know this is serious!
BTTT...
I’ll be watching...
Wish I could watch. I’m not near a TV.
Love it. Da Rev’s off leash, exposing Obama’s own racism for everyone to see. As JC Watts says, what’s down in the well will come up in the bucket.
