Because listening to him, in full, dispenses neatly the notion that Wright has been essentially misquoted or taken out of context.

He really believes this shit. The more he speaks, and the more you listen, the clearer it becomes that he is never going to stop saying stuff like spread of AIDS was a CIA plot. And that the brains of black and white children demand different educational systems.

I'm looking forward to a long, Summer '08 speaking tour for Rev. Wright. I hope.

It's a day!

:)

Listen, as Barack supporters you and I are probably the type of people who can overlook little things like marriage vows, don't you think? I mean if we were in charge of the world, we would let a guy be president who has no experience, can be percieved as elitist, might not have won the election without our powers and can be associated with negative events. Marry me and let's call it a day!

Does my Obama support say that I'm a peanut headed, pan-African, dashiki wearin', Muslim prayerin' Kool Aid drinkin', latte drinkin', wanna be Abraham Lincoln?

Girl, help me out!

All 'o these scarey old witch hunters are fillin' me with doubt!

You are the first awful Barack supporter that I actually like!

We really should at least be worried that Barack seems to attract negative attention, while keeping in mind all the detailed statements Hillary has made in reegards to helping our country.

Don't be so affable or I might have to start thinking something different about the unique awfulness of the awful Barack people!

I couldn't argue with Rev. Wright about anything he said except that I think he seriously underestimated the number of Iraqi men, women and children we've murdered in our grab for oil.

Evidently, Rev. Wright thinks killing is wrong. Hmmmm.

Jeremiah Wright showed great depth of understanding of the racial problem in America. I found his message totally correct and his personality beautiful and compassionate. I am an elderly white male and I am so disappointed in what Joan Walsh has written. I thought for a long time that she was on the side of truth for America after such lies by our govermnment and politicians who were in bed with the lobby. Howard Zinn told the truth in A Peoples History of the Untied States and Jeremiah Wright is truthful and a great American.

Strife (from wiki):

Eris (Greek Έρις, "Strife") is the Greek goddess of strife, her name being translated into Latin as Discordia. Her Greek opposite is Harmonia, whose Latin counterpart is Concordia. Homer equated her with the war-goddess Enyo. Eris, the solar system's largest known dwarf planet, is named after the goddess.

That's what I get for giving up my afternoon cup of coffee.

I am a luckier man than Senator Obama, I have my wife and daughters to ensure that there is no confusion about god-like qualities.

(Was there a Roman god of confusion? That's about my only hope.)

Guilty as charged! You forgot to mention that I'm actually a secret terrorist that is poised to help Obama invoke sharia law when he's elected, that I throw my grandmother under buses when given the chance (literally - I threw her under the 68 Express last week), and that not only does my wife hate America with the white-hot intensity of 1000 suns, she wrote her thesis on the same topic!

If I weren't married, I'd propose to you Carol.

....when he said the white liberal was more dangerous to black folks than white conservatives. I chuckle at what he would make of Salon -- with its lily-white (or nearly) masthead and staff of writers.

By the way the huge and important point about Obama disagreeing with Wright on the static nature of American racial disharmony -- which you somehow failed to mention until called on it -- makes the entire piece irrelevant.

All I'm saying is that now that we know Obama isn't some sort of God shouldn't we do some revotes? Isn't it unfair to Hillary that so many people voted for Barack when they thought he was God. Now we know that he might lose! Hillary might not lose. Think about that very carefully.

Barack, he might lose to McCain. Whereas,

Hillary, she might not!

That's all I'm saying. Believe me, keep reading Joan's blog if you want proof that Barack could lose this whole thing and proof that Hillary isn't a supernatural demonic being. But you don't have much more time because soon Joan will soon start writing about Barack as if it is his strengths that deserve more of our focus (after Hillary steps down on June 4th)

Walsh is begining to embark on a brain theory of her own about Obama and Clinton supporters, what's your take?

Why shouldn't Reverend Wright be hurt -- the media is ready to destroy a person who has given his life to his own belief and upbringing!

I am so sick of the "gotcha" news instead of real journalism --that has been the problem with Howard Dean's plan to run the states and Clinton's kitchen sink mentality. Elizabeth Edwards wrote one of the best, most rational op-ed pieces I have seen in a long time. Where are the journalists of today -- where are the real heart pieces, their lives, their thinking, their policies instead of gossip is that how low we've come?

I enjoyed the Bill Moyers PBS special for I knew it would be more balanced and I got to see a more human person instead of the sound bites.

I have followed this campaign more closely than anyone in a number of years and I am saddened by the shear cruelty of the media, this is not a mud wrestling match -- it's a presidential campaign; it is now time for the pundits and press to lift us up out of the gutter if they have any respect for themselves and their country!

Also associates with known terrorists, got his house at half price in a shady land deal and is spirtually mentored by a racist...P.S. his wife also hates America...
