In a rare interview, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. said media organizations that circulated controversial sound bites of his sermons on the Internet wanted to paint him as "un-American" or "some sort of fanatic" in order to bring down Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
"I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ," Wright told journalist Bill Moyers in the first interview he has granted since comments critical of U.S. policies surfaced on television and the Internet.
" 'And by the way, guess who goes to his church, hint, hint, hint?' That's what they wanted to communicate. They know nothing about the church."

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
How dare those right-wingers PLAY A VIDEOTAPE OF WHAT HE SAID.
So unfair.
Obama has met his Swift-Boater, and it is Wright!
Context my butt....there is no context that makes “God d- America” or the “US of KKK-America” acceptable. I’ve listened to a lot more than just sound bites, and it really don’t make it any better. Nothing worse than a lying pastor.
“”I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ,” Wright told journalist Bill Moyers in the first interview he has granted since comments critical of U.S. policies surfaced on television and the Internet. “
Yeppers, that’s about right (no pun intended of course).
Moyers, what a smug, arrogant, condescending, lefty weenie traitor butt boy.
Oh, excuse me, I didn’t mean to be so caustic and mean.
“I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American”
That’s the easy part.
MSNBC played another snippet on Davey’s Gregory show. Uncle Jeremiah evidently reiterated that America has blood on its hands.
It’s da Jooooooooosss!
“Who are you going to believe? Me, or your lying ears?”
Somewhere in Indiana, Hillary just bought Crown Royals for the house.
There is an expression used in the law, generally in tort law - “res ipsa loquitor”. Which translated from the Latin states “the thing speaks for itself.
And so it is with the recordings of Rev. Wrights sermons to the faithful in his church. Including, for twenty years, by his own statements, was Candidate Obama.
Spin your way out of those recordings, made and sold by your own church, if you can Rev. Wright. Oh, and you too, Sen. Obama.
But I doubt that either of you will be able to do so.
No need. You're doing a bang-up job of that all on your own.
There is no alternative context to those excerpts. It is raw, boiling hate.
You ain’t bamboozling your flock anymore- Rev. Sportin’Life.
