I haven’t even read this yet. I’ll read it in a minute. I just want to post first, before I read, just to say that I’m approaching this article with MAXIMUM ANTICIPATION. I mean, here’s Coulter, writing about Wright. You just KNOW this is gonna be GOOD.

Ok. Here goes...

The only good news for the Obama campaign this week is that Obama admitted that his relationship with Rev. Wright is "a legitimate political issue," which at least makes him smarter than John McCain, who just last week denounced the North Carolina Republicans for an ad mentioning Obama's raving lunatic pastor.
McCain is a blithering douche-bag. I will vote for him if he picks a truly conservative VP, or if he ends up running against Obama. But if it's McCain+RINO vs Hillary, I'm not going to vote.

Don’t forget Trent Lott, Al Campanis, Fuzzy Zoeller, John Rocker, Rush Limbaugh, and Don Imus. There are probably thousands of unnamed ones who have lost there jobs over innocent statements.

I think most whites live in fear that one casual comment will cost them their jobs. I avoid talking about race in any context at work for this reason.

He has called this man his mentor for 20 years.

Tell me again, Barry, how he has shaped and influenced your life?

You won’t salute the flag
You won’t even put your hand over your heart
You won’t wear a flag pin

Gee, if elected President...how do you plan to be sworn into office. Or is that something you won’t do either?

BAWHAHAHAHA...that...is such an amazing article...

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.

absolutely priceless....

On January 16, 1988, he [Jimmy the Greek] was fired by the CBS network (where he was a contributor to the NFL Today program since 1976) after commenting to WRC-TV reporter Ed Hotaling in a Washington, D.C. restaurant that African Americans were naturally superior athletes at least in part because they had been bred to produce stronger offspring during slavery...

Odd.

CBS treats a black racist like Rev Wright with concern about "context" - but stands up and applauds when a white racist is fired ?

Could it be something as simple as who's ox is being gored?

You mean you are going to sit at home and throw a temper tantrum? If you do, then read this IBD article

Nancy Pelosi's Widening Power Grab

In case you are not aware, the whole House is up for reelection and so are 20 or thirty Senators. I hope you know what it means if the Rats win

I thought a Clinton presidency would bring conservatives together to take over the country. They became their own worse enemy.

I guess I still believe that the tide will turn if it gets bad enough. There seems to be little in the way of options. I can not see that a McCain presidency will differ from a Clinton presidency. Both are anathema.

It doesn’t matter if Hillary, Obama, or McCain win. The most important thing is, that if the Rats gain more seats in the House and the Senate, the liberals will be in power for decades to come

...and I do not think it is over yet, despite Obama's attempts to seal it off.

A source close to the Wright ministry is also talking. Here's what that source said in the New York Post today:

The source noted that the roots of Wright's disillusionment with Obama began last year after the Illinois senator unexpectedly yanked him from participating in the public announcement of his presidential campaign.

"That's why Jeremiah revealed . . . that he had actually been at the [announcement] hotel and prayed privately with the Obama family before the official declaration," the source told The Post.

"Rev. Wright, as well as other senior members of his church, believe that Obama has betrayed over 20 years of their supposed friendship."

Obama further angered Wright by trying to distance himself from the pastor ever since videos were made public earlier this year of the preacher alleging that America brought 9/11 upon itself and that people should say "God damn America," not "God bless America."

The source added, "After 20 years of loving Barack like he is one of their own, after he was embraced by this congregation as a brother in Christ, after his pastor was a father figure to him and gave him credibility in a city he had not grown up in and in a black community that was suspect of someone from Hawaii and Harvard, he thanks him by not allowing him to speak publicly at his announcement last year?

"A lot of people in the church believe they were there for this man when no one else was, and a lot of people don't believe it any more when Obama claims he loves the man who did so much for him," the source added.
Whole lot of chickens...coming home to roost.

Not the least of which is Obama's character (because Wright is saying that Obama did know about exactly who Wright was and therfore Obama lied to us all)...and also Obama's judgement in this whole matter and in the matter of Ayers, Rezko, etc.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Do you actually believe that McCain's judicial appointees would be radical leftists such as those that would be nominees of Clinton and especially Obama?

Are you saying that McCain will emasculate the military and bug out on the war against Islamofascism the way either of the socialists would?

For those two reasons alone, I will reluctantly vote for McCain.

Ann Coulter strikes again

I still remember the countless posters on this site accusing her of being a member of DU etc etc when she went after Bush for nominating Harriet Miers to SCOTUS

You’re right. I was wrong to say “not vote”. What I meant was “not vote for McCain” (if he picks a RINO VP and if his opponent is Hillary).

Yes, I will go vote for good Republicans in other offices.

Thanks for correcting me on that. It is a VERY important issues.

You’re right. Wright can say, basically, that black kids are genetically unable to read books.

But if a white guy says black kids are natural-born-athletes then he’s committed anti-PC treason.

It’s not whose ox is being gored so much as who’s doing the speaking.

A black guy, being black, can say that black kids are naturally stupid.

But a white guy, being white, can’t say that black kids naturally athletic.

And the media swallows all this whole. I wish there was somebody with enough voice and stature to shove this contradiction right down the media’s throat and make them at least acknowledge it.
