However, growing up a pastor's kid in a religion well-represented among both white and black communities (and more integrated than most), I understand a bit about where he's coming from--politics tends to be more overtly a part of black churches and theology than white, and there is more confidence in calling a spade a spade in the black religious tradition (church being a refuge from white control and interference going back to even the slavery days). But Jeremiah Wright is far beyond the... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:39:23 -0600 Wright is only unique due to his being the pastor of a front running Presidential candidate. He is not alone, he is just recognised. I know many Christian preacher's say things which the congregation resonates with and yet are utterly vile. While this is probably doing damage to Obama it's likely to be empowering Wright granting him contacts, recognition and exposure which may mean Wright will outlive his church member in political influence. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72589 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72589 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 07:43:36 -0600 To true Fbl. All those antics professed by so many unfortunates over the years are now given legitamacy by Rev Wrights ill informing speach. I felt good that my country matured enough to actually have an African-American candidate for the highest office. Unfortunately he's a liberal jerk. If Steele of Maryland had the nomination on the Reps side, I would deffinately vote for him. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72572 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72572 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:00:19 -0600 This is really getting wild. The implications are not good. As pointed out somewhere (I can't remember where I read it), the ridiculous things Wright said about racial "differences" in his speech to the NAACP this weekend will be used by other racists... and they won't always be black, but they'll have cover to air their anti-black racism using Wright's own words. Ugly, ugly. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72569 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72569 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:01:32 -0600 I never thought I'd be thankful for Billary. If she folded after the initial Barrack tidal wave, we wouldn't have had the pleasure of all the little missteps and gaffs produced by all those Dems, not least of which is Barack himself. Maggie's heart throb actually has a legitimate chance. He may not fit all my ideas for a President but he beats the hell out of the competition. This is sure getting old though. Can't we just vote now and get it over with? Then Fox News can go back to covering Peterson or Aruba or other some such or whether Victoria Secret is changing their product line. For that I'll tune in. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72567 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72567 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:37:44 -0600 Maggie, *snort* http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72565 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72565 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:52:25 -0600 Bad Boyfriend.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72561 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/jeremiah_wright.html#comment-72561 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:38:04 -0600
