Wright launches into a review of black liberation theology. "I do not in any way disagree with James Cone. Jim is a personal friend of mine."

I believe in free speech and so wright has the right to say anything he wants to. On the other hand we have the right to critique whatever he says and bring it to the attention of all the people.

Yes, Wright can say what he wants — and he can also identify and label himself as to what and who he is, in the process of exercising his right of free speech.

And we know EXACTLY WHAT AND WHO HE IS....without any doubt.

Jeremiah Wright “sound bites” the scripture in John 10:16 stating when asked if muslims will be saved, saying Jesus said I have sheep not of this fold”...well the rest of that scripture says he will have ONE SHEPHERD AND ONE FOLD...and he was speaking of the gentiles being grafted into God’s chosen people as one. The man is an idiot, and he had NATION OF ISLAM AS HIS BODY GUARDS at Press conference because he had been threatened..so he says. False Prophet who doesn’t care about anything but his 15 min. of fame.

Wright is going to continue to intentionally damage Obama and advance his own cause. For guys like Wright, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the like Barak Obama is bad for business. Once America demonstrates that racism is a thing of the past these guys are unemployed.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Wright use his growing national forum to start preaching for a racial apocalypse - musch to the cheers of his Marxist and black separatist handlers.

Wright is doing a tremendous disservice to any blacks who would run for high office. From now on, the religious associations of any black will be dissected and probably another radical like Wright will be exposed.

So, Rev. Wright is Obama-Maud'Dibs Bene Gesserit teacher. Except he's a dude, not a chick. Oh well, maybe the Bene Gesserits decided to change its all female only policy. :-)

You know, if I was motivated, I could re-write the entire Dune novel using this election. It almost writes itself. Sadly, I'm to damn lazy. Tired to, I work midshift, I should be in bed. G'night Freepers!! :-)

And sure enough he does. Even though it is uniformly non-sensical. He said what he said and no amount of whitewash (blackwash?) can change that.

The most glaring nonsense is his technique of changing the subject, from blatantly racist and seditious language to claiming to be stating "facts". No rational person in a rational society can stop laughing at the attempt.

Might as well claim that Professor Corey spouted facts for decades...

The fact that Clinton 1 and Clinton 2 apparently get away with empty phrases and nonsensical statements for many years now is not of much help. The fact that they have been joined now by Buraq Hussein Obama has defused the absurd charge of racism, and Obama is now politically DOA.
Should, by some cosmic joke, Buraq prevail, the certain result is that the next thing that would be DOA shortly thereafter is the US of A, its noble experiment and our role in the world.

There's not a whole lot more that can be said.

Jeremiah Wright is bigoted and bitter. Man, he's the gift that keeps on giving. I hope he keeps it up!

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Re: Wright launches into a review of black liberation theology. "I do not in any way disagree with James Cone. Jim is a personal friend of mine."

From: Black liberation theology Wikipedia article

James Cone defines the theology as thus:
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." * A Black Theology of Liberation By James H. Cone 1990 ISBN-10: 0883446855 Page 27

If Wright’s idea of “black church” is the dominant one, d*mn right it’s under attack.

Boy, you have to feel sorry for Obama. His “bitter” comments make clear what he thinks of religious sentiment generally and religiously-inspired public policy in particular. Now he’s been pilloried for “believing” sermons he only ever sat through in hopes of winning some South Side votes.

I wonder what other of Obama’s supposed passions and beliefs will turn out to have been equally cynical.

Here’s one: his promise to raise capital gains taxes, while at the same time he’s being backed to the hilt by the hedge fund and private equity community which depends upon the capital gains differential for a huge chunk of its after-tax income. At the end of the day I suspect he’ll take all the pain out on the hides of the upper middle class — a nice 50% increase in marginal rates on upper (earned) income workers (from 35% to 52%) when he lets the Bush marginal rate reform expire and uncaps OASDI taxes, while the capital gains differential is left alone entirely.
