OUT OF 'CONTEXT' OR OUT OF HIS MIND?
April 30, 2008
Whew! I'm certainly glad to hear the "snippets" from Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons "in context."
In the famous B. Hussein Obama speech that sent a tingle down Chris Matthews' leg, Obama dismissed the clips of Rev. Wright being played on TV as mere "snippets." He claimed the media were highlighting Wright's "most offensive words," complaining that they had been played endlessly, as if repetition were the problem with the statement: "GOD DAMN AMERICA!"
It's absolutely unheard of to repeat passages from famous speeches. In fact, I have a dream that we will not do that. Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask that the media stop replaying "snippets." All we have to fear is repetition itself, because we are the people we've been waiting for to tear down that wall of endless repetition.
So, like I said: Whew. At last Rev. Wright's "snippets" have been put in a healing context. In two speeches and one uxorious interview with PBS' Bill Moyers over the past few days, Rev. Wright had plenty of time to lay out the lush analytical context of his remarks.
In his speech to the National Press Club on Monday, for example, Wright described America as a country of "segregation, Jim Crow, lynching and the separate-but-equal fantasy." Then he ran outside to feed more quarters into the meter where his time machine was parked.
Wright described this as a country that supported the "racist regime of South Africa" and "the Contras, who were killing the peasants and the Miskito Indians in those two countries" -- as opposed to the Sandinistas, who were equal-opportunity murderers with a more diverse group of victims.
He said this is a country that "cuts food stamps and spends billions fighting in an unjust war in Iraq," neglecting to add that before you can cut the food stamp program, you must have a country that has a food stamp program.
He said we are a country that sent "over 4,000 American boys and girls of every race to die over a lie." And Wright said it is a country "where I can worship God on Sunday morning wearing a black clergy robe and kill others on Sunday evening wearing a white Klan robe." (Unless, like me, you do all your Klan-related murdering on "casual Fridays.")
And, to listen to Wright, those were the "U.S. of KKK A.'s" good points! (Is it just me, or does Rev. Wright sound kind of bitter these days? I sure hope he doesn't have a gun.)
He clarified his Sept. 16, 2001, sermon, in which he said that on 9/11 "America's chickens are coming home to roost" by saying: "You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you." I'm glad to get the full context on that because I had thought he was talking about chicken farming.
Actually, that's pretty much the way I took it even when presented as a "snippet."
Rev. Wright also put into context his church giving an award to fellow Obama supporter Louis Farrakhan by saying: "He is one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century. That's what I think about him. ... I am not going to put down Louis Farrakhan."

If it takes Obama 20 years to notice that his pastor is a traitorous, racist nut-job, it will probably take him his full term of office to realize that the U.S. has been invaded and subdued by al-Qaida. Let's just hope President Obama pays closer attention during national security briefings than he did during 20 years of the Rev. Wright's church services.

He might just as well have said, "I love Rev. Wright. I'm just not in love with him anymore. Hey, can I have my CDs back?"
ROTFLMAO
So it took Senator B. (whose middle name must NEVER be spoken) Obama 20 years,,,,,TWENTY YEARS,,,,to understand what Wright 'is all about'????
If true,,,,that kind of stupidity and naivete' (even an ostrich wouldn't have his head THAT FAR in the sand) by itself,,,
disqualifies him from the Oval Office.
Let’s just hope President Obama pays closer attention during national security briefings than he did during 20 years of the Rev. Wright’s church services.
::::::::
Let’s just pray that the American informed, and the American ignorant, figure out that having Osama Obama in our White House would be like putting a mentally deranged child in charge of a team of brain surgeons.
Wake up America — open your ears and eyes.
Its a Vast Wright Wing Conspiracy.
“If it takes Obama 20 years to notice that his pastor is a traitorous, racist nut-job, it will probably take him his full term of office to realize that the U.S. has been invaded and subdued by al-Qaida. Let’s just hope President Obama pays closer attention during national security briefings than he did during 20 years of the Rev. Wright’s church services.”
That is where Obama is screwed. Nobody believes he did not know where Wright was coming from.
Next week maybe Michelle Obama will get the heave ho - (can I say Ho?) This guy has no loyalty at all which is wretched and repugnant - either that or he is closet Muslim!
The media has found somebody new to spew anti-Americanism now that Cindy Sheehan has faded away.
“Hey, can I have my CDs back?”
G-D bless you Ann. I will love you forever....
Excellent Coulter. Love her sarcastic wit.
Damn funny.
Not to be persnickety, but the peasants and the Miskito Indians were the Contras. It was precisely the peasants and Miskitos who started the Contra movement. It was the Sandinistas who were killing them.
Well done Ann!
excessively devoted to your wife: describes a man who is excessively devoted to or submissive to his wife
Coulter on The Glenn Beck show on Headline News right now.
Ann has her own problem.
Supporting Hillary.
Thank you very much, that is one fine sweater!
