"...If he loves Obama he needs to shut up right now..."

I've been seeing this mentality coming up a lot in various articles this morning coming from various figures in the black community. They dont seem to be angry with what the Rev. said and they don't seem to have a problem with Obama's complicity with it, they are simply mad at the Rev.'s timing. I have only seen one instance where an article mentioned that only a few people they spoke with said that the Rev.'s ideas were from a different time which America had gotten over. The rest seemed to indicate that the Rev.'s message was still valid today, but that with Obama's nomination hanging in the balance the Rev. showed unbelievably poor judgement in his timing. The most appalling idea I saw this morning was where people in the African American's indicated that if people were upset about the Rev.'s message, then that was a sign they they were bigots. Unbelievable.

I agree.

Rev. Wright's absurd speech - I did not listen to all of it since his delivery is too annoying - might be the result of
*Hillary buying him off,
*his desire to keep Obama from winning since that would go counter to much that he has been preaching, and/or
*seeking publicity, and/or
*wanting to promote his forthcoming book - allegedly he has a book deal.

I think Jeremiah Wright is enjoying all the free publicity he’s getting to espouse his Black Liberation Theology views.

I don’t think he’s gonna shut up. What say ye?
