Yes, Obama likes and respects THIS guy
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]

In front of 30 television cameras, Wright's audience cheered him on as the minister mocked the media and, at one point, did a little victory dance on the podium. It seemed as if Wright, jokingly offering himself as Obama's vice president, was actually trying to doom Obama; a member of the head table, American Urban Radio's April Ryan, confirmed that Wright's security was provided by bodyguards from Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.
Wright suggested that Obama was insincere in distancing himself from his pastor. "He didn't distance himself," Wright announced. "He had to distance himself, because he's a politician."

Ah, vishnu13, you amuse me
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]with your rants. You are as wise as Wright--and as wise as Obama for making him his spiritual mentor. Do you think Obama should join Wright in insisting on an official apology for slavery? How about reparations? Those are definitely winning political issues for him, I think.
-
Don't you get it, libertyson? This isn't about whether Wright is correct or not.
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's about whether Obama can possibly embrace his views without being destroyed with mainstream voters. Clearly, judging from Obama's reaction, the answer is no, he can't. Smart move on his part, but not so smart for the Obamabots to keep defending Wright's views. Wright himself knows the score: Obama DOES agree, he implies, but can't say so for political reasons.
Any liberal who doesn't see how radioactive all this is for mainstream voters is so far out on the fringe that you probably also like the Yippies and the SLO.

vishnu13, I DO support McCain
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And I'm finding the Dems self-destruction very entertaining.
-
Hey, libertyson, how much do you think the undecided Superdels
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]would be willing to pay Rev. Wright to take a 4-month cruise in Antarctica about now?
-
Oh, vishnu13, it is YOU who are filled with the fevered racial fantasies
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It is YOU who rant about victimization, your brain filled with fantasy images of lynching. Perhaps you have listened to Wright too much. As for me, I don't want him lynched--I want him to have his own cable show on MSNBC called God DAMN America where he can hold forth every night until the election. I'm LOVING this!
-
Can't you read, libertyson, I support McCain
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Either Hillary or Obama would be fine with me, but only after they've bloodied each other up more so that, when they're done, she's a lying shrew and he's a racist extremist. Seems to be working fine so far....
Actually, Obama would be better. Hillary actually may have a slight chance against McCain. Obama has none.
-
Your anger will so help Obama, vishnu13
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Please keep it up.
-
I love you liberals. You agree with Wright and just can't see
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]why everyone else doesn't. Do you agree with this: the U.S. government "lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color"?
-
Obama can't win, libertyson, but neither can Hillary
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's amazing. Only the Dems could figure out a way to fumble this election.
-
Why should I fear Wright? I LOVE him.
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I can't get enough of him. I want God DAMN America on every billboard in America next to Obama's smiling face. I want him to give speeches and interviews every day between now and November. Call me out, vishnu13. I LOVE Wright, can't help myself. He's GRRRRREAT!
-
debaser, did you forget? This guy was Obama's spiritual adviser
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]not some random black bigot extremist off the street. Obama went to HEAR him say these things. Don't you get that? I realize you wish it weren't true (as does Obama now, most likely). But it is. And, as Obama himself told Fox News, it's a legitimate political isssue.
-
Good luck getting some political traction with that, rupert_c
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]

vishnu13, my mother was black, in case you're interested
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But my family never went to a church where the pastor ranted about damning America. Still, your rage is amusing to behold. Rant away, feeble child. McCain will crush your candidate in November.
-
But, vishnu13, Wright IS an America-hating black racist
[Read the article: The return of the Rev. Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And that would be true whether my mother was black, white, or blue.
By the way, peruse my past posts. I have said several times on this site that I am bi-racial. It is YOU who are filled with racial assumptions. It is YOU who judge others based on the most superficial evidence. It is YOU who are narrow-minded and bigoted. Go look in a mirror, little man.

Here's what he should do
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sit down, put his head between his legs, and kiss his ass goodbye.

Today may be the day, when we look back, that we can say
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama lost the nomination. The wall-to-wall MSM coverage has been punishing. Maybe Obama can give another pretty speech...?
-
hey, Christopher1988, how about worrying about the political damage Wright is doing to your guy
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]instead of whining about Salon. You and all the other whiners sound ridiculous. Go read Dailykos is you want to comfortably ignore this scandal. They have their heads in the sand--go and join them.

All these whiners want happy Obambi propaganda

saintzak, that's a GREAT plan for Obama
[Read the article: Obama responds to Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He can just say he was bored and daydreaming all the time in church. I hope he says that!
-
I love the denial from the Obamabots
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The problem is Salon. It's Joan Walsh. It's Hillary Clinton. No. Sorry. The problem is that your candidate is being dragged down by his own pastor, a man he has embraced and defended. The guy is clearly insane and determined to damage Obama. That's the problem. And it's not going away any time soon. If you don't want to hear about it, why not go read Dailykos? It'll give you that dose of Obama propaganda you need, and it won't make you think about things that hurt your little brains.

So-called "pledged" delegates can switch too, you know

[Read more letters about this article: Here]If this gets much worse for Obama, don't be surprised by those defections either. The last thing Dem insiders want is a black-rage candidate.

AJCalhoun, why in the world should I care about Ed Rendell?
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He isn't campaigning for McCain, is he?
By the way, all the damage to your sainted Obama is self-inflivted. And it's great fun to watch!
-
This is so much fun
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]See, Obamabots, this is the sort of treatment the Clintons usually get. Enjoy it! I'm just munching popcorn and watching CNN show Wright again and again.
-
GThrasher, you've made your point, why keep harping on it?
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]

[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]

How DARE Bob Herbert talk about this issue? How DARE he even bring it up?
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It proves he is anti-Obama and a racist.

Yes, I do love how you're all ignoring me
[Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]

Well, you would know, GThrasher
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
