Wright Knew He Could Be a Liability to Obama
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 6:12 PM
In putting together my article about Rev. Jeremiah Wright's opposition to the NYT's coverage of him, his church and Obama, this quotation from Wright is particularly insightful.

“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Wright told the NYT's Jodi Kantor in March 2007. “I said to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.”

Check 'em!
Read just about every poll and you'll learn that the Wright mess had almost no impact on Obama's numbers.

Sorry, right wingers, you'll have to try something else!

Wright's Liability
Several months, maybe a year ago, Mr. Obama removed the American flag from his lapel. When asked why, he replied (paraphrasing) "I don't need an American Flag pin on my lapel to prove I'm a patriot." the reverend Wright was not in the picture at the time.

I accepted that answer then, although I thought it rather petty but, predictably, liberal.

Now, I wish someone would ask him a question like, "If reverend Wright was your friend, your mentor and has been anti-American for years, did he influence you in some way to remove your lapel pin?"

What would you say if you were he?

Ms Ireland is also predictably liberal. They must insult those who disagree with them. What a way to live. She ought to read D'nesh D'Sousa's commentary of today, She might change her mind.

At least Wright knew.....
..his hate whitey rhetoric wasn't going to go over well. It's amazing, the Hillbilly wretch actually appears somewhat reasonable compared to this far left economically illiterate Magical Negro.

God help us if either of these dimwits is elected.

It's a shame our remaining choice is a Mexican whorehouse madame- McCain.

Any Flags at Trinity????
Are there any flags at Trinity UCC???

As someone who is also a community builder I have been in more churches than a lot of people and I can honestly tell you that somewhere in a place of prominence is the American Flag. It is typically next to the Flag of Faith. Sometimes in the sanctuary sometimes in the vestiuble but it's always there.

"Check em"
You mean like the "swing-state", *bell-weather* state of MO?


Where Obama is getting CRUSHED by 15%?


Or did you mean DEEP BLUE NJ, where he is tied with McCain and polling under 50%?


See you in Nov!

Did Obama camp release the tapes?
Actually this jibs with something I've been saying for a while. It would not suprise me at all if it turned out Obama's camp was the one that got the tapes out. Think about it for a second. I was always rather puzzled by the timing of the tapes release. It just seemed to me that if it was coming from Clinton or McCain they wouldn't have leaked it until shortly before a major primary, forcing him off message with no time to recover. Rather, the tapes came out at the beginning of the longest break in the primary season, leaving him time to frame the debate. Just a thought.
