WRIGHT LEAVES CAMPAIGIN
Politico.com ^ | 3/14/08 | Politico

Posted on 03/14/2008 4:49:09 PM PDT by cmsgop

Spokesman Tommy Vietor emails:

"Rev. Wright is no longer serving on the African American Religious Leadership Committee."

That cuts Wright's only formal tie to Obama, and answers what was sure to be a question in Obama's interviews tonight: If Geraldine Ferraro had to leave the Clinton campaign, why is Wright different.

Does anyone know how long these videos have been around? Did they just surface? For some reason, I had the impression Hannity had seen them a long time ago.

Am I the only one who thinks that Wright looks white?

Obama is lying.

I SERIE doubt it! It's despicable how the media drive-by Whores are covering for this guy, with the exception of FOX and talk radio. The working folk who watch the news for info will only get a 2 second clip on Mr. Wright and by summer time all will be forgiven and forgotten....MARK IT!!

Personally, I do not know the answer to that.

“For some reason, I had the impression Hannity had seen them a long time ago.”

I got that impression, too and that’s from listening to several talk shows.

Hannity talked about Wright long before now.

But lets get real. Hannity is dull and who listens to him.

This is the talk of the day because of Rush.

Too late

Yes, too late!!

There is a direct relationship between Obama's slowness to criticize the man he calls "Minister Farrakhan" and his longtime ties to another extreme minister, Jeremiah Wright. They're both anti-white and anti-semitic. Think about that next time Sen. Obama explains his tax and "defense" (surrender to al Qaeda) policies.

When you turn your head and ignore the bad behavior and words of those you associate with, you are condoning that behavior. If Wright has left the committee, that is the first step. The next step is to break from the man totally. Personally, I don’t believe that Obama has any problem with the hateful words that Rev. Wright has spewed over the years. He must have found some comfort in, and liking of what he was hearing, or he wouldn’t have attended that church for 20 years.

So they could have come to light last year, right? Odd that no one ever sought them out.


This may be minor, but I read some article several weeks ago about Obama’s early years in Chicago. He was widely admired in activist circles and many saw a political future for him. One thing that stuck in my mind: When the talk of a political future first began, some pro told him he needed to get “established” in the community, told him to find a church. He did. Now here we are.

I’m not sure that squares with what he’s saying now about Wright “bringing him to Jesus”. Minor, like I said. But it’s not like he saw a bright light and walked towards it. He was looking to fill in his resume-—according to the article.

I just sent Rush a letter ...
_________________________________________

Dear Rush,

After hearing all of the angry, hateful sermons that Pastor Wright has delivered from the pulpit, I am concerned for the well being of the Obama children. Since both girls were baptized by this man, and their religious training was overseen by him, I can’t help but wonder what kind of psychological damage has been inflicted upon these impressionable minds by Pastor Wright.

Senator and Mrs. Obama should not only disavow the teachings of the Reverend, they should acknowledge the fact that they have subjected the girls to potentially dangerous environment and immediately enter family counseling.

I pray that it isn’t too late to counteract the hate speech that the Obama children have been indoctrinated with while attending this racist, hate filled environment. Hopefully, a man of your stature will be able to call attention to the ongoing abuse of the Obama children and all children who are members of Reverend Wright’s church.

Sincerely,
xxxxx

Looks like Wright got thrown off the train.

Did anybody just see the segment on O’Reily with the two Black women? This is what we are up against! They both thought this so called Rev. Wright said nothing wrong!

“I pray that it isn’t too late to counteract the hate speech...”

God hears our prayers.

I thought this Wright buffoon was Barry's pastor.

He "recently [conveniently] retired", so is no longer "officially" their pastor.

It was around the same time that the "Black Values" page disappeared from Trinity's Web site, along with some other 'sanitizing'...but after awarding Farrakhan the church's "Pastor Wright Lifetime Achievement Award". That issue of the church's bulletin has also disappeared from the site.

LOL! They never heard of cached pages, or of FReepers saving tidbits.

Rumor on HotAir.com is that Obama will be on Hannity & Colmes and Major Garrett will do the interview.

Saw it. Two angry black women blaming whitey for all their problems. I usually never have O’Reilly on, but I’m glad I was doing something on my computer and hadn’t turned the channel.
