Wright's Intentional Monkey-Wrenching

...I, too, think Wright is digging center stage. But I also suspect he specifically wants to tank Obama's candidacy. I mean, this is a man who has spent a fair portion of his career spreading the message that blacks cannot get a fair shake in this country; that America was, is, and always will be fundamentally racist; that the U.S. government in particular has it in for blacks. So what happens to all that if suddenly a black man--and not just any black man, but one who has been counseled by Wright and so cannot be dismissed as some pathetic Uncle Tom--is elected president? With Obama in office, it suddenly becomes much harder for Wright to rage against the evil of America in general and the government in particular....

That makes sense -- the loony left would rather have grievances than have solutions.

[Argus]

There are so many worms in this can.

[lilylangtree]

Windbag Wright’s vituperation mimics his good friend Louis Farrakhan, who hates whiteys and Jews.

[Telepathic Intruder]

There are already liberals claiming Obama lost Pennsylvania because of racism. I guess it’s true what they say about those bitter gun-toting fundamentalist crackers.

[weps4ret]

I think this has been worked out between the Reverend and Obama in advance so that Barry could publically denounce him. It is all too convenient. Remember for the left it is all about gaining power no matter the price, the lies, or the cost.

When your ego it over done, this is the result.

Isn’t the Chicago power structure with the Clintons? And Wright’s part of that group?

[SatinDoll]

Oh, puh-leeze!!

Rev. Wright is retired, has his multi-million dollar home on a golf course inside a white gated-community. He no longer has to worry about anyone or anything. He’s got his in spades!

Except - his ministry is a Black Theology Ministry, and that means Marxist through-and-through. He is at heart a communist and letting himself be thrown under the bus for “the cause”. In fact I believe this is all a setup, to take scrutiny off of Obama’s extreme, extremely dangerous liaisons with 60’s left wing radicals, like Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn, who can connect him to people like the Ortega brothers and to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, fellow travelers all.

[PGalt]

Monkey-wrenching? Isn’t that racist, Michelle? /sarcasm

Interesting comments at liberal thread. Thanks for posting.

[SatinDoll]

“...it is all about power...”

That it is, Gunner. A diversion, a smokescreen, to hide the lies in the last debate about his connections to a 60’s radical terrorist.

Michelle Obama and Bernadette Dorhn both worked at the same Chicago law firm in 1988. That is when Barack Obama and Bill Ayers met.

Now, what the hell... is Bill Clinton doing in Brazil?

[MaxMax]

The new slavery for blacks is ideological racism, and it's not honkies steering the ship.
Just ask Sharpton, Jackson, and now Wright. Shame on them.

[billorites]

This dickweed Obama has effed-up race relations to a degree that nobody has seen since 1968.

My God, what a self-righteous loser.

Thanks for that info....that was something I didn't know before.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Yeah, and race relations seems to be his only real issue (not counting change and hope).

[bill1952]

>claiming Obama lost Pennsylvania because of racism.

What do they call those 90%+ of blacks that voted for Obama?

[Zionist Conspirator]

He must be on Hillary’s payroll.

[Billthedrill]

The replies are killing funny. There is a slowly-dawning awareness that a successful Obama campaign threatens the grievance industry of which Wright is an integral part and through which he has made a fortune, as have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. And part (at least) of this hoo-hah is that industry reminding Obama that they’re out there and that they intend to call in their markers should he be elected. What’s funny is that the same guilt-ridden white liberals who defend that industry are also in the position of promoting Obama. They can’t have it both ways and so are attempting to blame the impasse on Republican racism. Sorry - the impasse is written into the game. Classic internal contradiction. You can have progress or you can have endless grievance, but not both. And what is shocking is the number of people who prefer grievance.

[Vigilanteman]

Of course, Bill Clinton is working equally hard to tank Hillary's campaign every time he opens his pie hole.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Well they're not the racist ones, obviously, because they voted for skin color, not against it. Oops, did that come off sounding sarcastic?
