How ironic (or is it merely projection) that it is the white bigots who see Wright as a bigot.

I'm not all the up to date on current so-called political events, but what did this Rev say that was so controversial?

He said God Damn America as opposed to God bless America after the events of 9/11 and that the government was giving the black race aides. MLK had expressed similar sentiments with less vitriol and I think there is a belief out there about the last. (not that i give credence to the last; but the first when you take the whole context of his speech; he has a point)

What's wrong with saying government is giving blacks aides?
I wish they'd give me one.

Let's just leave it that you don't have a clue what Asherman actually said nor what I tried to say and let it go at that. Thanks for trying I guess.

Take your ball and go home, Foxfyre. I expect no less from you.

Oh lovely...
an e-fight brewing.

Since you presumed to make presumptions of my intent or meaning, all presumptions stated as fact as you see it, may I presume that your post here is intended to order me off the thread? Off of A2K? What?

Well since you managed to miss just about every point I made while inserting your own assumptions unsupportable by any source or fact, I can see how you would prefer to focus on inconsequential details of error in other people's posts rather than focusing on the intent of their message. You made so many errors in your response here, I don't have time to address them point by point so I won't even take on one.

Oh my. The irony! Lecturing someone for nitpicking from Asherman's lengthy post about details of fact while ignoring the central point he was making in a post made to a thread entitled "Why Did Obama Stay in Rev. Wright's Church?" about soundbites that were nitpicked from a lengthy 20 years of sermons while missing the central points of those sermons?


This quote is just priceless. Thanks for the morning belly laugh.

keep in mind that joe is only posting from memory and is not responsible for the accuracy of his "facts". Personally, I remember that George W Bush is a drug addict.

(regarding israel) ...and considering that they are a nuclear power, with one of the best trained and motivated militaries, well equipped etc., i have no doubt that they can do so with america outsourcing it's foreign policy to tel aviv.

Bill Moyers' Journal, Friday, April 25th PBS:

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright will be Moyers' guest.

Yeah that's good Butrflynet.

He'll be on his best behavior and then everybody can just pretend he never said all those racist things that we can so clearly see he did say.

Who are you going to believe, Wright or your own eyes?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all just erase our mistakes, sins, slips of the tongue, misspeaks, gaffes, stupid moments etc. etc. etc. by going on the Bill Moyers show or Oprah or somebody and demonstrating the wise, warm, amazing people we all really are?

Yes, I know. You're frightened of a successful President Obama.

You're frightened that so many people from both sides of the spectrum are coming together to pool their energies and resources to seek change in the status quo.

You're frightened that his leadership skill empowers us to keep trying regardless of all the roadblocks thrown in the way by the winged-ends of both parties.

I understand.
