In three major appearances in the last four days, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. offered a full-throated historical defense of black church traditions. But his re-emergence on the national stage has certainly served to provide more sound-bites that already have begun to haunt Senator Barack Obama on the campaign trail.
With Senator John McCain’s fresh criticisms of the pastor and Republicans painting him and Mr. Obama as extremist in commercials using snippets of sermons, Mr. Wright, longtime pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, defiantly and passionately argued that such criticisms were attacks on the black church and its faith traditions, not attacks on him.
In an appearance this morning at the National Press Club in Washington, Mr. Wright mixed biblical passages and scholarly works with sarcasm and humor in his efforts to address the nearly two months’ long barrage of questions that have dogged his church and Mr. Obama since excerpts of his sermons first began looping around on television and the Internet.
Asked why he chose to speak out now, Mr. Wright said: “On November the 5th and on January 21st, I’ll still be a pastor. As I’ve said, this is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright. It has nothing to do with Senator Obama. This is an attack on the black church launched by people who know nothing about the African- American religious tradition.”
Mr. Obama, a parishioner at Mr. Wright’s church for about 20 years, tried to tamp down the controversy in Philadelphia more than a month ago, with a major speech on race relations. In that address and since then, Mr. Obama said he disagreed with some of Mr. Wright’s remarks but would not denounce him because he had become like family.

With “pastors” like Rev. Wrong, Obama doesn’t need any enemies.
I’m not sure I’m following his defense. Is he actually saying that his remarks were part of a tradition in Black churches and that it makes them ok? My mind just can’t seem to get wrapped around this. Is he actually trying to say that racist, anti-American screeds are something that all Black churches take part in?
“This is an attack on the black church launched by people who know nothing about the African- American religious tradition.”
If that’s what their “tradition” is, then they are in a cult. Because it sure isn’t Christianity that they are practicing.
Jeremiah Wright is an oratorical strutting peacock, and, of course, a hypocrite: he has not allowed his public sneering attitude towards white people to inhibit him from building his 10,000 square foot retirement mansion in an almost 100% white community, far from the dangerous black Chicago neighborhoods whose citizen-congregants he fleeced for 30 years.
Good, you racist bigot. Keep reminding the public what a hateful man you are and keep reminding them that you support your star congregation member: Obama.
LOL...well, now he’s gone too far. It’s fine to be a Black Marxist racist, but insulting the media is going one bridge too far. (Can it get any better than this?)
But, but, but............. this was really taken out of context. Context.
If you read his entire speech, you’d see he really meant that he loved America when he said GD America. He was really praising the billions that the government has spread on aids research when he was saying the government invented it to infect the black man.
Its all about context. (sarc)
The Wrong Reverend Wright, has his ‘Münchhausen Cindy Moment’ with the MSM.
