CNN's Soledad: Rev. Wright Speech a 'Home-Run'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/28/2008 5:14:38 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Were they commenting on the same speech? Rev. Jeremiah Wright goes before the Detroit NAACP, claims that black and white children learn with different parts of their brain, and offers a simpering, unflattering imitation of the way white pastors speak. CNN's Soledad O'Brien gushes that the speech was a "home run" and "really funny." But over at Morning Joe, Wright's words prompted a panel member to call the reverend a "mediocrity" and a "buffoon."

I’m really pretty much off of all Obamassein threads because he’ll just be a footnote in a few months. It would be good entertainment if Obamassein did somehow end up POTUS, but he isn’t even going to get the nomination.

Thanks, in great part, to the Reverend. And what I saw of the “speech” was funny in a fall-off-the-balcony-hit-your-head-on-the-pavement kind of way. The way he made fun of JFK, with his little imitation, was just so sad, as he pointed out how JFK pronounced “ask”, all nasaly-like; inadvertantly pointing out that so many blacks still say AX. Keep talkin’ Rev.

They don’t speak English because they don’t want to. They’re told it’s a “white man’s language”. They’ve been told that since the 1960’s. When you immerse a society in leftist crap, it’s going to have an effect.

A home run for HRC’s campaign.

If we don't start exposing her skeletons now we might as well start singing hail to chief hillary because there's no way McCain is beating the clinton machine.

Don’t agree. Her negatives are above 50%. Bubba never got more than, what 48%?

Combine that with that if HRC gets the nom, droves and droves of black DEMS will probably stay away or vote GOP, and there is no “viable” third party, McCain’s chances are better than good.

Although, it appears that running against Barrack Wright would be McGovern-esque.

With all the positive press coverage she’s been getting, I think her negatives have come down a bit. The media went from one extreme to the other. They are all in love with her right now. I worry about our military having to serve under her. She’s not worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief. McCain may be awful on domestic issues but he has more than earned the right to lead the military.

The wrong Rev Wright does not understand the difference between regionalisms in English speech and incorrect grammar. And where is there any neurologic proof that black and white brains learn differently? He is an idiot.

It was pointed out this morning on Chris Core’s talk radio show on WMAL630 AM, that CNN played the complete speech at least 3 times...IN FULL....last night.

Wright is bright, but the BLT and Social Gospel is not Christianity.

I've updated the image. I decided to tame the language to keep it from being a distraction or offensive.Here's the new version:
