#3 I think smn has been appointed by the Obama campaign to keep us Rantburgers honest.

I never post anything bad about Hillary, smn, it's against Rantburg (unwritten)law. Not.

I believe we do, smn, try to supplement the standard media news, with other sources (Australian, Palestinian, Pakistani, Pravda, etc) and a certain amount of irreverent commentary, such as the above.

Did Obama take his daughters to hear the Rev. Wright? Is that the face of "change"?

#4 Not too sure what you mean by "quest to find ever more tantalizing Racist Right Whitey exerts, from down in the black bible belt." I'm feeling kinda stoopid this morning.

Apparently I've hit approximately the right nerve, though, which implies I'm doing what I originally set out to do. If there's some race, religion, group, or planet I haven't offended at least once on this site, please let me know. I'll get right on it.

Thhhhhpppppp!

#5 Wright, who is leaving Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, said the videos were old snippets that were taken out of context.

FOX has one of the sermons up - in three parts.

Hewitt has played the entire audio of one

Frankly, the rest of the media is perfectly happy with the snippets, Imagine the damage they played or made available the entire sermons...

#6 smn sounds like a "typical black person".

Thanks for B. Hussein Obama for opening up our free and frank discussion.

Now wondering if 90% of black people - the 90% voting for bHo - agree the CIA created AIDS.

#8 Maybe Wright is grooming for Al Sharpton's job now that Al is busy inciting riots and trying to get himself imprisoned.

As long as you just _barely fail_ to get your agenda implemented, there's a LOT of capitalist moolah to be made in being a communist rabble-rouser?

#10 "Now wondering if 90% of black people - the 90% voting for bHo - agree the CIA created AIDS"

I imagine most no more agree with that than I agree that Hillary encountered dangerous sniper fire in Bosnia, or than most of y'all who are going to vote GOP agree with McCain on election financing reform.

#11 Rev Wright delivered a speech this am at the NCAAP that was overtly racist and clearly suffused with junk science - a lot of right brained, left brained stuff with graniots (spelling apprx) mentioned.

Is this guy being paid by Hillary?

#12 Race baiters use race baiting as a way to establish their importance. Hitler was a master of this stuff. He would emotionally spell out a problem, then toss blame at whomever he wanted to harm. This is why we don't appreciate race baiting. The focus of the resulting hate is us, we of white skin even if we didn't have anything to do with the problem.
It's a simple process to lead people to do whatever trouble you want to cause. Nothing constructive ever results from emotional blaming speeches, only destruction. I don't find any Christian message in Reverend Wright's speeches, just finger pointing.

#13 I once reported to a young, black, female engineer (Perdue-trained, no less) from Atlanta who'd grown up in the crowd that surrounded the Martin Luther King, Jr. family. The things she believed -- a chemical engineer doing research! -- government-created AIDS, all good things invented in Africa and all bad invented by Whites, Jews controlling the media and the world of finance even as she only used Jewish doctors... and she was the Platonic Ideal of a spoiled brat with a belief in her level of competence completely uncoupled from reality.

#20 I watched some of Wrights speech this morning at the National Press Club. This guy is nuts. Every time he opens his mouth, he sounds crazier than the last time. He has been on TV 3 times since Friday. Each time he drives more and more people (white, hispanic and asian people anyway) away from Obama. It certainly is time for an honest discussion of race in America and part of that honesty is for mainstream America to stand up and reject this guy for the race hustler that he is.

#22 I think the AIDS epidemic got it's start from people having sex with space aliens.

#23 I heard the entire sermon and was appalled - not only at the standard leftist assertions but at the wild flights of "logic" and wildly contradictory proclamations. Not to mention the attitude wherein he seems to think he's some sort of OT prophet.

Frankly, the rest of the media is perfectly happy with the snippets, Imagine the damage they played or made available the entire sermons...

Agreed: the "context" is worse than the snippets. In a Q&A session after his Press Club rant when people questioned his AIDS and 9/11 claims he answered with: "Have you read X?" or "Have you read Y?" Hell, I've read several books (painfully well documented and footnoted) that claim ETs started all the world's early civilizations. According to Rev. Wright's logic that makes them true.

#24 Excalibur #6, don't be presumptuous, I could be white, married to a black woman. I could be mixed, and could find a center ground of understanding. However I can admit and reveal to you that I am Independent, and could likely have this same exchange with you on a different person running, after November 7th! I prefer to 'look down' on the big picture, than up from the foxhole. 'Certain whites' are upset because Obama is always getting the lion's share of the black votes; blacks are excited over the choices whites are making for him! These historic considerations will not be ignored by progressives, both black and white. Certain whites will be upset if 90% of the black vote go to Hillary this fall if Obama drops out for party unity reasons. Certain whites will be upset should 90% of the black vote push the lever for McCain this fall, over the negative, nasty, tactics deployed by the Clinton campaign to push him(Obama) aside, [sweet revenge]! So as you can see, whites will lead blacks to the cliff, but only blacks can decide to jump off!

#25 Reverend Wright definitely needs a nationwide TV show of his own. At least until November.

#26 I don't care if he's a little green man from Mars, Obama is stil la dishonest leftist, and has had long affirmed relationsthips and mentorships from racists liek Rev Wright, and domestic terrorists, and hard core socialists. In addition to that, he is duplicitous and an elitist as shown by his "guns and religion" remarks.

All of the above are sufficeint to disqualify him for any thinking person - and thats without addressing his further fatal flaws such as a mediocre legislative record and lack of substance on substantive matters, and complete stupidity when it comes to Iraq.

#27 #26 I don't care if he's a little green man from Mars, Obama is still a dishonest leftist

A bit of redundancy there, OS, but I couldn't agree more with what you're saying. I have a friend here in town that thinks BO needs to be elected to office in Reno, NV, and serve there for ten or twelve years, so he can grow up. We won't repeat what he says about Hillary or John McCain. He (and I, as well) would vote for Bill Cosby over either of the three currently running. BTW, John is a retired Black Air Force officer, and about ten times as intelligent of either of the Obamas, or even both of them combined. I listen when he talks. I keep trying to get him to come to Rantburg, but he never seems to have the time.
