37. Stupid Fox Snooze Babe "...Wright started slow but ended up with a vengence" |

What Horse Crap! I listened and was entralled with his passion and accurate portrayal of the responsibility of the Christians to change this world. What a preacher and change agent. I saw his Bill Moyer's interview and was equally impressed with his understanding and analysis of what has happened in US history and what is going on now. Speaking softly as on Moyers or with passion and power as in the NAACP speach today, as a white son of the PA working class, I can listened and be inspired by his message. WOW!

Too bad. This man is absolutely brilliant. There are certainly differences between African-American culture and European-American cultures. Reverend Wright is not afraid to point this out and I think the freeper types are scared of him because of that.

He's already planning having Bernard Goldberg on for Monday to talk about the Bill Moyers interview, but these two so-called media idiots are probably under the sheets (oh god, I think I'm going to throw up in my mouth a little bit :puke: ) thinking about what they're going to talk about after this).
SHAMEFUL FOR OUR SO CALLED MSM (excluding Faux, which is just downright unwatchable), JUST SHAMEFUL.

45. OMG--he was absolutely wonderful, engaging, entertaining/funny |
|
and mesmerizing.
(i turned on cnn after 60 minutes to take a nap for an hour before cold case comes on--saw him talking and couldn't stop watching!)
i haven't enjoyed a speech like this in a looong time (i'm one of those who tune out at the first mention of jesus)
and what he was talking about, the different ways children learn! it was fantastic. different does not mean deficient. his musical examples! he was great!
i was so impressed.
all those asswipes who were saying obama should leave his church because of the sound-bites they heard from this reverend: it's obvious they knew nothing about what they were talking about. (if anything, listening to what this man had to say would be the main incentive for me to go into his church.)

Faux/MSNBC/CNN will be re-playing one tiny snippet:
Wright saying :"Barack HUSSEIN Obama! Barack HUSSEIN Obama!"
Out of context, and they'll be moaning about how that will hurt Obama's campaign.
But damn...the man is compelling! Loved it! Wright's intellect and power has given us a fabulous weekend!
The hell with a debate between Hillary vs. Obama..
