I don't know who's fucking playing games here. Is this a quick strategy by the Obama campaign and Jeremiah Wright or is Jeremiah Wright working for Hillary Clinton despite all the shit he said about her not knowing what it's like "to be called a " ect, ect. I can't tell whether it's time to throw the seemingly green-eyed, selfish, vain & spiteful Reverend under the bus, or not; since it's hard to decipher who's playing games or if any games infact are being played.

I dig the brother.

He ain't helping Obama.

He's a preacher. One thing you know if you give a pimp, a preacher, a politician or a poet an opening he's gonna talk til the cows come home.

Who else even heard of him before all this. He's got his opportunity and he's going for it.

Besides crass commercialization (he'll get plenty of speaking engagements, sell tapes and books--hell, every now and then even I like a good rousing fire and brimstone burn the honkie's ass
message--he's probably crazy.

Lots of us have been driven mad by this system, you know.

CNN has been covering the Wright address at the NAACP dinner. They're going to replay Rev. Wright's entire address in a few moments.

Pardon me, if I get the impression that the smug, unctuous Reverend Wright is enjoying his 15 minutes of infamy.

The Black church need its ass whipped, the NAACP need their asses whipped, and the media need to move the hell on (course they won't (bunch of niggers).

Barack said this man is nothing more than a crazy uncle, and BOY was he not lying. In hindsight, that was the right answer...the most truthful answer he could've gave because it sums this looney tuney bastard right up. He is not dangerous crazy; uh-uhn, he's crazy uncle crazy. Barack was absolutely right.

Wright is going for it. I know he is screwing Obama, but face it. The racists were just waiting for SOMETHING and if Wright hadn't come along they would have made something else.

All you got to do is get the qualifications. Haw. You do that, they move the goal posts.

Maybe a Negro is a fool trying to lead white folks.

I remember watching this 60 mintues program about this Irish politician from South Boston. He was tied up with the Irish Mafia. He was Irish through and through. He had amassed great power as speaker of the House up there in Massachusetts.

The interviewer asked him if he had statewide ambitions.

"I'd be unelectable," he sniffed.

Maybe Negroes will finally smell the coffee in this Obama mess.

They don't love you. They don't want you. You have to deal with your own. Get over it.

Wright to Obama: 'Coming after you'
By: Mike Allen
April 28, 2008 12:50 PM EST

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that he will try to change national policy by “coming after” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) if he is elected president.

The pastor also insisted Obama “didn’t denounce” him and “didn’t distance himself” from Wright’s controversial remarks, but “did what politicians do.”

Wright implied Obama still agrees with him by saying: “He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was [portrayed as] anti-American.”

Wright, who was Obama’s pastor for 20 years and performed his wedding, made the explosive comment during a chaotic question-and-answer session at the National Press Club in Washington, following the pastor’s remarks about the black church in America.

“I said to Barack Obama last year, ‘If you get elected, November the 5th I'm coming after you, because you'll be representing a government whose policies grind under people,’ Wright said.

The minister was speaking as part of a tour that is drawing heavy news coverage and causing a huge headache for Obama’s presidential campaign.

Obama, seeking to distance himself from remarks by Wright that some have taken as anti-American, has emphasized that Wright has retired.

But Wright talks of their relationship in the present tense. “I'm a pastor; he's a member,” he said. “I'm not a ‘spiritual mentor.’ “

In the Democratic debate on April 16, Obama referred to Wright as “somebody who is associated with me that I have disowned,” then clarified that to say he had disowned the comments.

But Wright objected to a question saying Obama had denounced him.

“Whoever wrote that question doesn't read or watch the news,” Wright said. “He did not denounce me. He distanced himself from some of my remarks, like most of you, never having heard the sermon, all right? …

“He didn't distance himself. He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was [portrayed as] anti-American. … He did, as I said, what politicians do.”

I am steady losing my respect for this man of the cloth. I really think Wright was so injured by Obama's last minute decision to rescind his request for him to lead the prayer when Obama made his announcement to run for president on the steps of the capitol building in Springfield, that a seething Wright has decided to make Obama pay for this snub. Now he is trying to assuage his injured vanity by bringing Obama to his knees, no matter what the consequences. Wright is a dangerous egocentric man who needs to STFU.IMO.

Move on him.

I'll leave that to all of the Obama fanatics. Let them run interference for him so Obama doesn't have to soil his elitist hands.

I tend to agree with Cynique. Rev Wright's ego is bruised and he is going to show Senator Obama who really is top dog. Rev Wright is loving all this attention.

Or could Wright's rantings be a way of pumping up support for Senator Obama in the black community? I know Senator Obama gets 90% of the black vote, but in some places like in Texas and apparently in Philidelphia, African Americans did not go to the polls in the numbers they had in the past. A lot of black folks ain't feeling Rev Wright.
