Rev. Wright Slams Fox News, O'Reilly
NewsMax ^ | April 13, 2008 | Staff

This weekend, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright made his first comments since his public sermons made national headlines.

He came out swinging, once again attacking the United States for racism. He also singled out Fox News for criticism.

Speaking Saturday at a eulogy for former appellate Judge R. Eugene Pincham, a member of Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, Wright blamed the Founding Fathers for the woes of blacks today, claiming they “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic.”

Wright cited Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who recently said the country has a “congenital birth defect” owing to its constitutional acceptance of slavery.

Wright also described Thomas Jefferson as having engaged in “pedophilia.”

But his most heated comments were targeted at Fox News, which he called "Fix News."

“Fox News can’t understand that,” Wright exclaimed. “[Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity’s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”

Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, a member of Wright's church, has distanced himself from some of Wright's comments but refuses to condemn his former pastor or resign from the church.

Yes the “Pastor” is full of hatred and apparently he has found this profitable enough to retire to an expensive, almost entirely white neighborhood. hmmmm

Wright is a low life. Nothing but the truth. He made these comments during a funeral. Talk about a wimp!

Too bad for you liberals. The Chicago Tribue
and CNN doing their best to cover for this radical POS. The new media outed this creature.

If I know how to down size found pictures, I would. Teach me, should you wish. I knew it was a big one but copying it from another website, one gets what one finds, without going through the exercise of copying it to my laptop, then resizing it and then posting it to my picture website for subsequent posting. If there is a java or html script, I'm all eyes.

Never mind the PC boffins of the Left; this jackass, this braying jackass, deserves the contumely of every decent citizen of whatever race and/or set of sociopolitical views.

Is the ghost of William F. Buckley haunting FR?

(I agree with your post 100%, by the way....)

It was more the smell than the picture I was trying to capture, and not to dish these wonderful and resourceful little animals, which, here in Michigan in the spring time, are more like road flattened armadillos in Texas, than safe and sound in the woods where they belong.

In 1987 good old Eugene said "Any man south of Madison Street who casts a vote in the Feb. 24 election who doesn't cast a vote for Harold Washington ought to be hung."

South of Madison means "African American" Wonder what needs doing to any man north of Madison who votes for Obama?

These clowns need to get a new act.

However, I think the Revvvvvvvrund Wright's speeches need the widest possible dissemination, inorder to guarantee that his little protege never sees the White House.

By the way, why's a Black man striving to live in a White House?

Saw it. That's the attitude to have. I grew up being the son of polish immigrants , heard all the jokes and was always looked down on by the mighty Brits and French who, because they were here first, thought they were above us all. But, the country grew up, (and the Hungarian and Yugoslavians came, took the pressure off) I grew up and now I'm just plain old "whitey". There wasn't and black /white racism or problems when I was growing up. There weren't many black kids around when I was growing up, the few there were just hung around with the rest of us.

This racism stuff seems to be something that has slowly spread northward over the last 20-30 years, spread mainly by the Democrat party (and the race baiter's working within it) I think.

You can use a program called screen hunter or something simular if you are grabbing pics off the net, or if you have a pic printing program, there’s usually a utility in those to resize your pics. Most printers come with a pic utility as well.

All this, yet I still don't hate America.

Very commendable, but it seems to me that most human beings who had to endure the type of treatment you describe could be forgiven for retaining some lingering bitterness about it.

Maybe this wouldn't always translate to hatred of one's country, but it would probably reduce the amount of love.

If you have microsoft office (power point, publisher) suite you can use that to resize pics. Or the paint utility in accessories..

Sounds to me like JW would fit right in at a mosque.

You can take the man out of the mosque, but you can't take the mosque out of the man.

How about voters being required to pass an intelligence test? Let's throw in another test to determine who's fit to run for president, senator, congressman, governor, etc.

Wealth doesn't count. Mistakes made in someone's teenage years and early twenties don't matter.

Is that like the black churches bill clinton remembered burning in Ark? It didn’t happen. And do you think it’s OK for a preacher to yell “God Damn America” from the pulpit? I read every day about black people killing white people just for being white, but I don’t blame America for it. Wright is a racist POS.

"...a black woman i know said wright was correct because she remembers black men in her home town when she was a child in alabama being hung."

"Yeah, I've heard that."

Me TOO!!

I am laughing so hard at your reply that it is almost impossible to type!!

Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!
