Rev. Wright's Press Club Debacle Has CNN Anchor Groaning 'Ah, Boy'

NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

[governsleastgovernsbest]

How bad was Reverend Wright's appearance before the National Press Club this morning? Bad enough that even CNN contributor Roland Martin--who yesterday enthused about Wright's address to the Detroit NAACP, who gave Wright's chat with Bill Moyers an 'A'--flunked it with an 'F.' Bad enough that David Gergen condemned it as "narcissistic beyond belief." Bad enough that, introducing a panel discussion of the speech, CNN Newsroom host Tony Harris let out an audible groan of "ah, boy," and later wondered how much damage had been done.

CNN anchor worried Wright has caused trouble for Obama ping to Today show list.

[stockstrader]

Let's hope that Wright--a black racist who spews hateful, venomous, garbage in a 'so-called' church takes ALL THE TIME HE NEEDS to enlighten America about why black churches need to spread hate by poisoning the minds of their congregations and black youth.

Take your time, Reverend.

Take ALL THE TIME YOU NEED!!!...lol

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT


Communist Party Members, Marxists, Communist Leaders, Marxist Leaders, Communist Party USA


Domestic bombers & terrorists, International Islamic Terrorist Organizations & Financiers, Fundamental Islamic Leaders


Black Liberation Preachers and militants, New Black Panther Party, Black Nation of Islam, Socialist Party

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH


"Not God Bless America, no, no, no, God Damn America!" "911 is America's chickens coming home to roost"


"AIDS was created by the US for black geneocide," "If God is not for us & against whites, then he is a murderer, and we'd best kill him."

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S LACK OF PATRIOTISM TOWARD THE FLAG



THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S IDEOLOGY ON DISPLAY




Che Guevara was a radical, murderous Marxist revolutionary in Argentina, Cuba, and Bolivia. He became Fidel Castro's executioner.
Why, then, is his picture proudly diplayed at Obama election Headquarters? What change does Obama intend. What is his hope?

[OKIEDOC]

PMSNBC has somewhat of a different take on this old racist baiter.

[goldstategop]

I would say its done a lot of damage. If only McCain would get his head out of his ass and see it.

[Eurale]

Just words?

[Bender2]

Rev Wright's comments just put race relations in this country back 50 years and he acts like he wants a race war. Along with Rev Sharpton calling for shutting down NYC and offing the pigs, one wonders if that war is about to begin?

And since any attack against Wright, he says, is an attack against the Black Church, what and who will he and his followers burn if nObama loses the nomination or, the Black God forbid, the election?

[popdonnelly]

“Bad enough that David Gergen condemned it as “narcissistic beyond belief.”

When Gergen can’t find a way to rationalize it, you know it’s bad.

[elhombrelibre]

CNN’s got Barak’s back. But Wright's got him in a headlock.

[diverteach]

Alright ya’ll, let’s have a big round of applause for Operation Chaos’ most supportive member, the Rev. Jerimiah Wright.

[subterfuge]

It’s funny how these talking heads groan about the Reverend’s comments because of appearances while wondering “how much damage was done,” yet in principal, they agree with everything he says.

“Come on Rev, you’re supposed to keep that stuff on the down-low!”

[RexBeach]

If I were running for president, and I had friends and acquaintances like Mr. Obama’s, I would be hiding under a desk, or would have dropped out by now.

His friends all seem to have one thing in common: They do not like the United States of America.

I’d say that is a monstrous problem for the Obama campaign - even if he wins the nomination at Denver.

[kempo]

You go Reverend Wright, You keep preaching that hate. I love the way liberals are beating themselves this year. They are going to be beat by the weakest Republican to ever run for President.

[stockstrader]

Rev Wright's comments just put race relations in this country back 50 years and he acts like he wants a race war.

And just think,,,,

Obama tells us that he can,,,

"No longer disown Rev. Wright, than he can disown his black race or disown his grandmother"!

How INSULTING CAN YOU POSSIBLY GET??? Unbelievable.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Bad enough that David Gergen condemned it as "narcissistic beyond belief."

Whew! This from a guy who worked for Bubba.

[ClearCase_guy]

We're getting terribly off-course about the big, big issues of our time.

I couldn't disagree with David Gergen more. Race, and the broader issues of Identity Politics are hugely important. It's time we turned a corner in this country and called a spade a spade. The folks who promote hatred need to be rejected.

[maggief]

Wright doesn't perform well without a script.

[Cicero]

I would say its done a lot of damage. If only McCain would get his head out of his ass and see it.

That'll be the day. I think he was born with it there, and it's been there ever since.

[stockstrader]

We're getting terribly off-course about the big, big issues of our time.

I disagree also.

There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, more important about a Presidential candidate than his core beliefs and values.

Obama flunks both horribly.

[Vigilanteman]

McCain is too busy "reaching out" to Democrats and moderates. Everytime he sends me a fund raising plea, I suggest he "reach out" to them instead.

"narcissistic beyond belief"

That phrase descibes most of the enemedia and congress. I'm afraid it also describes McCain.

[Mr. K]

Thank you Obama girl... if not for her we would have had HilLIARy in a walk, and no 'Operation chaos'

rules...

[goldstategop]

Except for the racist black theology stuff, Wright said nothing a moonbat would object to. That's the long and short of it.

Keep up the great posting on this cancer. Hopefully it’ll be stopped before the spread.

He has

He blasted the REV today inFLA

All together chillen, sing it wid me now!

“Whaaaaat a fiend we have in Whitey,
He is whyyyyyyy we suffffer soooooo,
If this world had no more Whiteys,
We all could split up Whitey’s dough!

Could we find a fiend so foul?
That we can hate both day and night?
Go and get your guns and home boys,
It’s time, to do ol’ Whitey riiiight!”

Rush just said that McCain made his sudden turn around on the Wright issue because he got blasted by Repubs far and wide.

[uncbob]

Not if you had all the brainless cult followers Obama has

[MrB]

Geo Washington Carver said that there are those who benefit from keeping the grievances of the #000000 race in the forefront.

Wright is one of them.

Perhaps we need an open conflict, at least it will be honest at that time.

Time to say “enough” - everyone lives by the same standards of behavior and achievement. No more guilt, no more reparations in the form of welfare and institutionalized racism (affirmative action).

[Miss Didi]

David Rodham Gergen, as Rush calls him.

[popdonnelly]

Soledad O’Brien is deeply saddened.

[Da Coyote]

Were I not to have had many very sharp African American friends and associates over the years, and had I to form an opinion of African Americans using only those who appear before our MSM, I’d be one of the most prejudiced whites on the planet. Never have I seen a more consistent group of low-achievers (capable of done nothing save for their race baiting), gripers, and general never-do-wells. What a bunch of loosers. They do so very much to undo good done by Cosby, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Clarance Thomas, etc.

[Joan Kerrey]

David Gergen condemned it as “narcissistic beyond belief.”
+++++++++++++++++
What’s beyond belief is that Obama enjoys such considerable support. That he has gotten this far is beyond belief.

"The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow." ~~ Ayn Rand

It is past time to stop the financial support of failing black communities, they can take care of themselves. They need to stew in their own juices, pay the price for their own incompetence.

With 75% of their children not graduating, and the massive amount of black men in prison, they obviously cannot run a civilized community.

Cut them off, refuse to subsidize them, and you will see how fast they suddenly become real Americans, who work hard and take care of each other. They will have no time to hate, complain and blame, because they will be to busy working like the rest of us.

[uncbob]

Actually this might help OBAMA in NC

May bring additional black voters out to back the BROTHER and the white OBAMITES are too far gone too change

Only hope Hillary has it that it may spur white dems that would have stayed home

[stockstrader]

Keep up the great posting on this cancer. Hopefully it’ll be stopped before the spread.

That a great way to describe the "CHANGE" that Obama is offerring us.

If you want to further divide this country along racial and economic lines--while demoralizing our military with an arrogant, anti-American, Marxist elitist,,,,

and a cocky, arrogant, enabler of black racism--Senator B. (whose middle name must NEVER be spoken) Obama,

and his anti-American racist pastor, mentor, close friend and 'spiritual advisor',

and his anti-American, unapologetic, bomb-throwing, terrorist friend,

and his anti-American, bitter, angry wife,,,

are THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE RIGHT TIME!!

[McGruff]

Tomorrow's headline: Has Obama jumped the shark?

[uncbob]

Were I not to have had many very sharp African American friends and associates over the years,

But I bet the majority still vote for the democrats

[uncbob]

Cut them off, refuse to subsidize them, and you will see how fast they suddenly become real Americans, who work hard and take care of each other. They will have no time to hate, complain and blame, because they will be to busy working like the rest of us.

That is only part of the solution

The absolute first step has to be RIOTERS , LOOTERS AND ARSONISTS WILL BE SHOT

Did Jeremiah Wright Jr. blow it?

After more than 40 years in ministry, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. can finally fulfill his prophetic witness to the widest audience. Rather than speak only to congregations, he now has the national spotlight to explain and educate the American public about his passion in the pulpit.

But did he squander that spotlight this morning?
Some members of his de facto fan club say he did. Roland Martin, a CNN analyst, who usually defends Wright and explains the nuance and context of his remarks, said he “blew it” by being too “flippant.”

(snip)

[poobear]

I love this part about the religion of Rev. Wright:

“Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”

Why didn't someone ask him about THAT?!

[uncbob]

I guess the poor rev will have to retire to his $$$$ home in that gated white community

[lilyred]

Are you kidding? Of course they will. Blood is thicker...

[ontap]

Except for the racist black theology stuff

(Said when people are listening and can't be spun)

Wright said nothing a moonbat would object to. That's the long and short of it.

There, fixed it!

[MEG33]

McCain doesn’t have to say a word about Wright...

[Parley Baer]

From the little I saw on the news this morning Wright got some standing ovations on parts of his speach at the National Press Club. Shows where the press is on the issue.

[PapaBear3625]

I would say its done a lot of damage. If only McCain would get his head out of his ass and see it.

When you opponents are busy attacking each other, keep a low profile and stay out of it
