WTF is wrong with Rev. Wright?
 

Mental illness.

He covers all the bases in that speech. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

Unfortunately, none of my uncles are like that.

Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the government created the AIDS virus to cause the genocide of racial minorities, stood by other past remarks ("God damn America") and held himself out as a spokesman for the black church in America.

It's impressive how thoroughly he can damn himself.

Is he trying to deep six Obama's campaign? Very likely. Now it will be interesting to see how much time will the media spend on it.

What are they?

Yet Republican leaders can speak at such tolerant institutions as Bob Jones University and the media doesn't care.

Wright is right. Black people don't get a fair shake in the US because of racism from whitey.

Uh, what? Every politician that has gone to Bob Jones has been roasted on a spit by the media.

Your memory is flawed. Baloney.

You show me where any one of them got the Howard Dean scream treatment. That's right, they didn't. Wright was the subject of an electronic lynching in which his most inflammatory remarks were taken out of context and repeated ad nauseam.

And Hillary is a poor example, since the one thing that Americans hate more than an assertive black guy is an assertive woman.

Anyone who dares to approach the basic truth about race in the US ends up getting shafted.

At least from what I've heard on conservative radio, a lot of conservatives are frustrated with Obama because they feel that their hands are being tied on racial talk. This is no problem with Hillary. They makes tons a sexist remarks about her, but they're mad that they can't make racist remarks about Obama. It seems every time I come across one of their radio shows, the host is lamenting that he can't talk about Obama being black. Which hosts would those be? Limbaugh? Hannity? I could definitely see Savage saying that.

Magic Negro factor helps Obama very much

I haven't heard of Graham, but Savage....he's ugh. nutcase. very disturbing stuff I've heard from him. Oh god. I remember Savage going on about how people who got infected with HIV deserved it because "they knew the risks." I think his solution to healthcare was to simply do away with it.

aside from the AIDS being invented to kill blacks, I dont see much to disagree with. Logically it makes sense. But it's not something to decide policy on.

No WTF's in titles Imran http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/nono.gif a staffer should know better http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/neeschud.gif

You don't know what you're talking about. There is really nothing I can do to convince you that your memory is incorrect, but here goes:

http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLI...campaign.wrap/ It really is amazing how much some of these lefties seem to forget about how, yes, those on the right do get slammed as well.

Oh, and when Obama's sainthood is being challenged, it's because of press bias. When they fawn all over him; well, that's just the right thing to do.

I dont disagree

I don't think he's talking about "influence". I think Wright is saying important voice in that he agrees with it and its a right voice.

You might but generally I prefer to go after people for how they vote or if they do things like diddle little boys.

I don't think he's talking about "influence". I think Wright is saying important voice in that he agrees with it and its a right voice. I dont have to agree with Farrakhan to acknowledge his importance. Obviously they agree on some things and disagree on others, and Wright appears to approve of Farrakhan's over all "influence". So, whats yer point?
