WTF is wrong with Rev. Wright?

[Berzerker]

aside from the AIDS being invented to kill blacks, I dont see much to disagree with. At least he didn't blame women who've had abortions or homosexuals for 9/11 or Katrina. We have committed terrorist acts, like mining Nicaraguan harbors and waterways, and we've supported terrorists. The Contras avoided direct conflict with the Sandinista army and instead raided villages killing off teachers and medical people and generally terrorizing the countryside to increase dis-satisfaction with the new government. And some of the Contras were indeed involved in drug trafficking and may have been using their connections to the CIA or Ollie North to protect or enhance their business.

Logically it makes sense. But it's not something to decide policy on.

It really is amazing how much some of these lefties seem to forget about how, yes, those on the right do get slammed as well.

Oh, and when Obama's sainthood is being challenged, it's because of press bias. When they fawn all over him; well, that's just the right thing to do.

So you agree with "what Louis Farrakhan said 20 years ago. He is one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century"

?

[Berzerker]

I dont disagree

[Berzerker]

Besides, thats a matter of personal taste... I think Gore is nuts but I wouldn't deny his influence

[Imran Siddiqui]

I don't think he's talking about "influence". I think Wright is saying important voice in that he agrees with it and its a right voice.

If you don't like Rev Wright don't vote for him but stop pretending he has anything to do with Obama.

It is, and they weren't.

I didn't see the press conference, but he did talk about Farrakhan in his Bill Moyers interview.

BILL MOYERS: But even some of your admirers say it would be wrong to gloss over what Martin Marty himself called- who loves you- called your "abrasive edges." For example, you know, Louis Farrakhan lives in the south part of Chicago, doesn't he? You've had a long complicated relationship with him, right?

REVEREND WRIGHT: Yes.

BILL MOYERS: And he, you know, he's expressed racist and anti-Semitic remarks. And, yet, last year-

REVEREND WRIGHT: Twenty years ago.

BILL MOYERS: Twenty years ago, but that's indefensible.

REVEREND WRIGHT: The Nation of Islam and Mr. Farrakhan have more African-American men off of drugs. More African-American men respecting themselves. More African-American men working for a living. Not gang banging. Not trying to get by. That's not indefensible in terms of how you make a difference in the prisons? Turning people's lives around. Giving people hope. Getting people off drugs. That we don't believe the same things in terms of our specific faiths. He's Muslim, I'm Christian. We don't believe the same things he said years ago. But that has nothing to do with what he has done in terms of helping people change their lives for the better. I said direct quote was what? "Louis Farrakhan is like E.F. Hutton. When Lewis Farrakhan speaks, black America listens. They may not agree with him, but they're listening.

It was an interesting interview, FWIW.

I'm going throw out a wild guess here and bet if we perused the poly archives we could find shots you've taken at various republicans for their associations.

[Dinner]

You might but generally I prefer to go after people for how they vote or if they do things like diddle little boys.
