Eleanor Clift: Wright Had 'Prophetic Theology', Rick Warren 'Extremely Ignorant and Offensive'
NewsBusters ^ | December 22, 2008 | Ken Shepherd

Rev. Jeremiah Wright was a voice crying in the wilderness that the mainstream media and middle class America weren't quite ready for and megachurch pastor Rick Warren is an ignorant evangelical rube who isn't totally without hope, given his awareness of AIDS and other favored liberal causes.

That's essentially what Eleanor Clift preached to her choir in her December 19 "Capitol Letter" column, "Choosing a Church: Obama's next big decision -- and its implications."

Wrote Sister Eleanor (emphasis mine):

Black religious leaders did not stand up for Wright even as they understood and sympathized with the prophetic theology he was steeped in. He had jeopardized Obama's candidacy and so he disappeared, but the internal fight, much of it generational, continues. Wright has since eased himself back into Trinity Church in Chicago, alongside his successor, Otis Moss III, a voice of the future. The rise of Obama highlighted a cadre of black professionals who, like Obama, were not shaped by the civil-rights battles of the '60s, or steeped in family memories of slavery and Jim Crow.

Eleanor ran down the road after Bubba with a mattress on her back.

That woman is mentally incompetent and needs full-time supervision (also never allowed out at night.)

The mere fact that she still appears on TV and in print, shows that the MSM are so desperate that any idiot will do when it comes to spouting inanities.

Eleonor Clift is delusional. Anything the Democrats pull is Jake with Eleonor. She cannot be as stupid as she usually sounds. No one could be. She is like Ipecac to me.

Eleanor is the only woman on earth to have 24/7 P.M.S.
Too bad that face change operation was wasted on somebody else.

Saying “G-D America” is a heroic voice trying to enlighten the masses. Stating marriage is between a man and a woman is ignorant hate speech. Boy, what has this country come too.

You're right.
