The Daily Press in Newport News, Virginia interviewed Rev. Jeremiah Wright as he appeared in nearby Hampton for a ministers conference. He said of Barack Obama: "Of course I voted for him; he's my son. I'm proud of him," Wright said. "I've got five biological kids. They all make mistakes and bad choices. I haven't stopped loving any of them." Then there’s this, perhaps a reference to Jewish Obama aides like David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel:
Asked if he had spoken to the President, Wright said: "Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office.
"They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. ... I said from the beginning: He's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."
Wright also said Obama should have sent a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, but that the president did not do so for fear of offending Jews and Israel.
"Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing of the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright said.
Wright still resents the media elite, which really doesn't give credit to Bill Moyers or other liberal TV network apologists who tried to edit his excesses (see our Special Report, Editing Reverend Wright's Wrongs). But he has no regret for his own sermons:
He did not indicate whether he had tried to reach Obama.
"Regret for what... that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I've been preaching for 20 years?
"Regret for preaching like I've been preaching for 50 years? Absolutely none," Wright said.

Needless to say, Obama didn't mean a word of this, else he would be promoting America rather than racist, class politics.

No racism here...
June 10, 2009 - 12:16 ET by bigtimerOf course Wright has no regrets...even what he is saying here today...unlike O pretending he has regrets now and then with his association with Wright, when convenient, he'll throw anyone under the bus, including one of his mentors....Rev. Wright.
Can you imagine if any of this was reversed?
Including by the way the reference of you gotta call a spade a spade reference...

The guy's an equal opportunity offender. I'm so glad our President never heard him say stuff like this.
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).
DC shooting/2nd Amendment
June 10, 2009 - 13:12 ET by bigtimerAs an aside here with what is happening right at the moment at the Holocaust Museum in DC with this shooting, you can be sure the anti-gun people will be back out screeching again, with Eleanor Holmes Norton leading the way in the next day or two!
Instead of this being a Hate Crime...kind of like the Army recruiter being killed dead, by a Muslim...

Re: 2nd
June 10, 2009 - 17:32 ET by slickwillie2001The weapon the holocaust shooter used was apparently a .22 caliber rifle; not a lot there the anti-2nd Amendment crowd can get into. Beck also mentioned that the shooter, James W. Von Brunn, was a big-time 9-11 troofer. I don't expect that will be trumpeted in the liberal media if true, because it makes him sound more like a left-wing nutcase.

I am so surprised!
I also would like to see NWAHS, KDW, Balboa formerly start repudiating those on their side of the spectrum more often when one of their own goes all racist.
Besides, racism seems to be a common problem amongst liberals.

June 10, 2009 - 13:42 ET by merkava"Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza."
Well let's give the moron some credit, he's half-right.
Gaza has been ethnically cleansed of "them Jews," and the Christian population is down to a few families, a couple of sheep and a donkey called Steve.

June 10, 2009 - 15:20 ET by KarinWe had three trolls at Moonbattery trying to defend the Letterman thing. The same tired "Oh he's just a comedian." The hypocritical "if you're going to dish it you can take it." The very lame "I didn't say that! Read what I wrote!" "Well, anyway, I didn't mean it like that." Asshats. None of the three visited the Wright thread.
