[Laissez-faire capitalist]

In a defiant appearance before the Washington media, the REv. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that criticism surrounding his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church...

Wright spoke at the National Press Club before the Washington media and a supportive audience of black church leaders...

He said his Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago has a long history of liberating the oppressed...

[MrB]

Standard leftist tactic to silence any criticism of leftist viewpoints.

This is even “more standard” :=),

paint your critics as “racist” in order to use a verbal rifle butt to the head to silence them.

Sly Stone ?

[blam]

Wright is a POS!!

[mnehring]

Maybe some of the bigger churches that make the news. I know a lot of African Americans in the area who are sick of the kind of divisiveness he spews. Unfortunately, they are your average working folk who have no time to run around and get in front to cameras to set the record straight.

[Roberts]

With any luck, Rev. Wright will speak at the Democratic Convention (or, perhaps, be hired by one of the major networks) to remind us that America is a “damned” country and Obama is the Savior.

What constitutes a “black church?”

[stockstrader]

What constitutes a “black church?”

Good question. Does anyone know of any churches that advertise, portray, and flaunt themselves as "WHITE CHURCHES"??

Brutus and Caesar meet Wright and Obama.

I think Juan's point is astute.

But never forget, the other Dem Candidate is married to America's First Black President.

The gaming continues.

[Alia]

Dittos, the black churches in San Francisco and in nearby Oakland.

[stevio]

And why is that sarcasm?

[vetvetdoug]

White America is getting a race card enema.

Ah, yes: Church of the Creator. And everyone disapproves of them. R-Dan Lungren running for governor against D-Gray Davis in California, years back. CA NAACP went digging into funds and determined that members of "white" churches had donated to Lungren's campaign. They threatened to break this to the media if Dan didn't find a way to lose "gracefully".

Fast Forward, I wanna see names of members of Wright's church who have donated to Obama's campaign.

Besides, Obama, you were only riding front to Hillary and her husband, the First Black American President. Howie wants you to bow out, with obviously full concurment from your past mentor, Jeremiah Wright.

[mnehring]

American in general is, white, black, red, green, whatever. This hurts African Americans just as much.

[Big Horn]

On Fox they said he was protected by the Islam guard and he would consider the VP spot. What is the Islam guard and are they packing.

[pending]

What great fun! I was so dejected a couple of months ago.
Now we have all out Democratic civil war,divided on the race-gender-identity politics that we all know they created,while calling us names of course.

Wright is an egomaniac who will not be silenced. He can be easily baited. He is listening to Rush and Hannity and Bill O,he will respond,again and again.

Ha.
This is too much fun.

[Jim Noble]

If you are a Christian, you know that there is no such thing as a “black church”.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Simply because the censors on this site would probably kick me off if I didn’t post it that way.

[steve8714]

Is it Trinity united, Church of Christ, or trinity, United Church of Christ?
Seems to me UCC is mostly Dutch and English descendents, isn’t it?

[mnehring]

The Islam Guard is part of Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. They basically provide protection for anyone they see helping their cause.
