Another mocha latte tinted racist preacher?

Barack Obama threw his pastor Jeremiah Wright under the bus for dissing Obama as just another politician. He will embrace Leah Daughtry, Wright's female liberation theology doppelganger, at the Democratic National convention for, as DNC Chair Howard Dean's chief of staff, he has "commissioned" her to orchestrate the convention.
Daughtry is of the same school as Wright, according to the profile the New York Times ran of her on July 20, 2008. As daughter to Herbert Daughtry, Wright's fellow traveler, Leah Daughtry has preached in her father's church with its "simple wooden cross hung on a brick wall in the vaulted and sizable sanctuary,... [and b]elow the sanctuary, in the fellowship hall, a banner for slavery reparations proclaimed, ‘They Owe Us.'"
When she speaks about black liberation theology and its author, James Cone, Daughtry's voice takes on an "extra passion." Daughtry doesn't distance herself from Cone's book "A Black Theology of Liberation" because she thinks Americans are more concerned about "disparities" in American society than they are about ideas dependent for their validity on Malcolm X's Islamic radicalism.
The excerpts of Daughtry's "sermon" which the NYT's Daniel Bergner quotes reflect Wright's anthropocentric rather than Christocentric sensibility that is the hallmark of liberation theology.
Obama will have no trouble embracing Daughtry. He may have tossed Wright under the bus, but he has never tossed Malcolm X who is the source of the noxious "theology" James Cone created and Jeremiah Wright taught him. He'll feel right at home.
I hope the GOP sees this as an opportunity.
McCain certainly won’t.
Of that I am certain. The only way McCain has a chance in this thing is the party is pusing his a@@.
I’m sure McCain thought his own ads were tasteless.
McCain has to let surrogates handle this sort of thing. If he tackles it himself, he will be hit with a race card, and it will stick. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it is.
Fortunately, there are a lot of surrogates to take up the charge.
It’s going to be up to the 527’s to handle things like this. McCain needs to be seen as being above that sort of thing, or he will be called racist.
DNC, the grift that keeps on giving................
Gee, I thought it was going to literally show Wright in a dress to lock up the queer vote.
Or the cover of next week’s Enquirer.
If there are any recordings, it would be quite convenient to have them accidentally released right after OhBummer introduces her on stage.
The whitie-hating, black liberation theology needs to be exploited to the max. I really can’t believe the DNC was dumb enough to get such a radical minister.
First in with the Pig In A Pants Suit.
There has been plenty of free pub for ‘rats with national prominence on the cover of the Enquirer lately...
It shares a lot in common with the rhetoric of the Communists in the Weather Underground as well. Just because they were upper class white radicals doesn’t mean that they didn’t still engage as “community organizers” with those radicals (like the Black Panthers) in the black community.

Have you seen photos of this “woman”. She’s another Obammy alien and America hater.
Wait till America gets a look at this creature.
I can’t believe the Dim Dhims are this stupid.
Gonna be good for McCain.
Check for fingerprints and you might find some ink on the Clintons’ hands.
Wonder if it is Hegal or Powell?
