It's interesting that this morning Obama is now on the wrong side of Sharpton too. http://www.nypost.com/seven/04292008/news/regionalnews/sharpton_raps_obama_108577.htm

This news taken with Wright's apparent turn against Obama yesterday causes me to consider if these events are genuine or a well orchestrated effort to improve Obama's general public standing???

If Sharpton and Wright are considered radical to some degree, it seems like Obama would want to be on the other side of their positions in a general election.

I'm probably reading too much into this, but it's another perspective to add to your own. :D

This isn't about "perspective" it's about a loud, mouthed blowhard that is ripping off his congregation and now sees an opportunity to rip off a few more people. The only religion Wright believes in is the religion of money.


if only this were true.

the problem with wright is that he does believe things. i keep posting links to his talks. but it's clear that no one want's to listen. at the national press club he went on about the african brain being different, more left brain, than that of whites. he reiterated his belief in half a dozen conspiracy theories. and lied about the chickens coming home to roost quote.

as he goes on it's starting to sound more and more like leornard jeffries' "black people are sun people, whites are ice people" weirdness.

you mean white people are not ice people?

Varmint, do you think he actually believes the nonsense spewing from his(Mr Wright's) mouth? I think he is an opportunist who says whatever he thinks will benefit him. His flock picking up on the truth about what he says is not going to help him at all.

He also says that the press and public are attacking the "Black Church." Isn't his church a member of the Church of Christ? His church is not the Mt. Olive African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Obama needs to get some Black Preachers to go on the record that Rev. Wright is not speaking for the "Black Church".

Do Blacks really think that the Fed. Gov. created crack and AIDs to kill blacks? If so add it to the list of failed Fed. programs.

tobra,

i think there are easier ways to get rich. i'm not a mind reader. i can only go by what he says. and i will say again, obama was comfortable exposing his daughters to this crap.



i am swedish, and suspect there may be some truth to the "ice people" theory. my family makes the most rigid wasps look like italians.

Obama live on TV now - rejecting Wright again.

i've only heard a few clips. sounds like obama is doing the necessary thing to save his campaign. well, better late than never. don't know if it's enough, but it's a step forward.


the question becomes... where does this leave the guys on this board who've been twisting themselves into knots defending the reverend?

He now calls him his former Pastor.

So who is his Pastor now?

By calling for peace, Obama is taking money out of sharpton's pockets and Al doesn't like that.

The more violence there is, the more money Reverend Al stands to get. People will buy him off in order to stop the violence, that's how he works. That's how he has become so wealthy. They donate large amounts of money to his "church" and he backs off and tells others to back off. Same con game as Reverend jesse and his rainbow coalition mafia, originally started by Dr. Martin Luther plagiarist.

Funny.:D Even if it is true...

Wright wants something here. I think the original deal was for him to keep quiet and let Obama win this thing, or try and win this thing. Methinks this fellow likes the spotlight and sees a future for himself. And not in Obama's shadow either..

The dude is a clown. Freak show. I can't believe people sit and listen to him and I really can't believe anyone gives him money to spew this garbage.

No, you are wong ... in reading too much into the above. :cool: --I expct that you are are spot-on, there. The timing of events fully supports the idea that these are not men reacting, but men who are scheming. They are putting on a show.

I just finally got a chance to watch Obama on this. ...no doubt about it; orchestrated. --Wright pushes the issues back to the surface such that Obama has a plausible reason to move . .. to more forcefully denounce Wright. Those two are still very much in bed together. tho' I see that Obama seems a bit uncomfortable with the charade.

who was behind the grassy knoll?:D

Glenn, FWIW, I agree with you that this was planned, but man, your paragraph above reads like a Hardy Boys climax (pun intended). What a hoot!:D

What's fascinating is HOW MUCH you read into things, HOW MUCH your interpretation adds to the story. And yet you never saw these things when discussing Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, et al. Fascinating.

Geeze, I would have expected the Hardy boys stories to be well written --not at all like my broken ramblings.

regarding Bush Cheney; sure I pick up on stratigery . .. just that what I see never seem to be the complaint de jour. Since they seem to get sooo much undeserved criticism I just let most (of what I see) go. Also, Bush and Cheney aren't trying to perpetrate a charade of "good cop / bad cop." Wright and Obama are. I expect Wright is to Obama as Cheney is to Bush, as in the push from the sidelines guy.

Obama is exactly the same as Wright. He is a racist, N..., no count communist. To prove my point look at each and every policy (if you can find them) that Obama proposes. He proposes to take from each according to his ability and give to each according to his need. He has stated this many different ways, all very clearly. Obama is a communist. He is a racist, he is a N.... with the worst possible connotations possible. He would wipe out the white race if he had the opportunity, he has said so himself.

And the idiot democrats are so desperate that they would sell their souls to this guy, for political gain. No wonder that any decent American like Rice, or Powell, will not run.

"he is a N...." .....Nancey-boy? --I think you are right.

That he is but free speech is not part of this forum.
