Wright: “Fix News” can’t handle the truth

Much like America on 9/11, it looks Bill O’Reilly’s chickens … have come home … to roost:
[W]hile Wright made no mention of terrorism, he did revisit the topic of America’s mistreatment of blacks, saying America’s founding fathers “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic,” and adding that Thomas Jefferson wrote, “‘God would punish America for the sin of slavery.’ I guess that makes Thomas Jefferson unpatriotic,” he said to the cheers of the congregation.
Reflecting on the late Pincham, Wright said his faith “was not the jingoistic, chauvinistic ‘you’re either with us or against us’ demonizing kind of faith.” Wright said Pincham was friends with “Jews, Muslims, rabbis, imams, fathers in the Catholic church and [Louis] Farrakhan in the Islamic faith.”
Escalating into full-preaching mode, Wright thundered, “Fox News can’t understand that. [Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity’s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”
At that point, congregants nearly drowned Wright out with a booming standing ovation.
Wright also referred to Fox News as “Fix News.”
Serves Fox right for breaking this story wide open last month. Except, of course, it wasn’t Fox who broke it, it was Brian Ross at ABC. Since there’s nothing to be gained by demagoging ABC, O’Reilly and Hannity become the scapegoats, replete with dopey Olbermannesque pun on FNC’s name as a sort of dog whistle to the left to let them know now’s the time to start scapegoating their favorite hobbyhorse for daring to report that this cretin believes America’s responsible for AIDS. It’s tempting to believe Obama put him up to it, but that simply can’t be true: Antagonizing Fox into taking on Wright anew is the last thing his campaign wants to do.
Exit question: Is he actually using his friendship with Louis Farrakhan as an example of tolerance? What a brilliant stroke. Too bad Bush and McCain didn’t think of that vis-a-vis Bob Jones and Hagee. It’s not that they’re looking the other way at bigotry, you see, it’s that they’re simply trying to be inclusive.

Hmm, alittle malfunction i using the quote option. :(
ThePrez on April 13, 2008 at 3:43 PM
The man quotes Thomas Jefferson and talks about him like he was some comrade of Wright in a revolution…this sickens me! And then he talks about a religion of inclussiveness. I guess Wright doesn’t know anything about history, quick recap:
1) Jefferson was an instrumental figure in the Babary Wars between the USA and the Islamic Pirates (Terrorists) in North Africa
2) Rich Africans and Islamic African Lords sold or forced most of the original slaves who came to this nation and the carribean. So, lets remember, black people sold black people to be the slaves of white people…
I know there is more to both those points, I am a history major, but I wanted to allow that perspective…

No one I know deserves any punishment for the acts of the slavers of the 1700 and 1800s. If these people are bound and determined to “punish” somebody then let them find the families of the slave owners and give it a shot . . . but stay the hell away from me with their nonsense. This whole thing is turning into a huge pile of donkey dung.
rplat on April 13, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Why am I not suprised Wright is an Oralmann fan. Knock me over with a feather. Glad to see you back out in the public eye Rev. Don’t let the man keep you down.
chief on April 13, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Did he thank the congregation for the $1.6 million home in a white, gated community?
The hypocrisy is truly breathtaking.
misterpeasea on April 13, 2008 at 3:50 PM
I can’t help but laugh, think of it, this is a funeral and this guy is talking about Fox News and Sean and calling him stupid. Well done, preacher, you are such a jerk, that title you gave yourself as “Reverend” is a joke too, along with the rest of your cronies who diguise themselves as “Reverends”, when there is nothing to revere.
Conservatives R Us on April 13, 2008 at 3:50 PM
So in one breath Wright commends someone who loves people who believe differently, but in the next he calls Hannity stupid for believing differently.
jgapinoy on April 13, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Wright is the kind of guy Obama was referring to who “clings” to faith because of “bitterness”.
jgapinoy on April 13, 2008 at 3:51 PM
Yes, punish the kin of slave owners! And while you’re at it, give me reparations for the way those blonde Vikings mistreated my English ancestors!
jgapinoy on April 13, 2008 at 3:53 PM
The only conclusion I can draw from that reaction is these sheeple enjoy life on the Democrat plantation.
miles on April 13, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Wright - fanning the flames of racism - one congregation at a time.
Might a well shout out “Allah Akbar!!!”
He’s a man on a mission to promote god will. However, anti-Christ like in every way imaginable. Barack Hussein Obama has demonstrated his preachers belief in the Angry Religious Gun Toting Average Typical Parishioner of Wright’s Church of the Perpetually Offended.
Let’s just blame all our problems on the Rich White People. Not to mention that it was White people that fought and died for their freedom from slavery. No that would not be forgiving enough to warrant any Christian values. At least not in the Church of Wright’s Christian values.
Perhaps Islam’s view on Slavery would be more to the Wright’s liking.
Kini on April 13, 2008 at 4:02 PM
Is this the same Pincham that this story speaks of? Sounds like another opportunistic Afro-supremist to me.
–
During the 1987 mayoral campaign, while serving as an Appellate Court Justice, Pincham made the provocative statement that any man South of Madison Street who did not vote for Harold Washington’s re-election ought to be hung.
Forever afterwards, he was known as “Lynch’em Pincham.” The firebrand Reverend Jeremiah Wright could not have matched Pincham’s eloquence on that infamous occasion. Appropriately enough, Pincham attended Wright’s Afrocentric Trinity United Church of Christ.
A scandal followed and the matter was litigated in the civil courts and Pincham was referred to the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board for misconduct. The disciplinary case was mooted when Pincham conveniently resigned his position in
1989 before the imposition of any penalty. Significantly, his timely resignation saved his judicial pension. The Judicial Inquiry Board entered no sanction in the case and finally dismissed the case in 1992 after four years of
official procrastination without making any findings. As a consequence, Pincham did not forfeit his retirement benefits.

Lets see,Rev.Wright says nasty’s about America,
light of truth shines on him!
Rev.Wright hastily re-directs light of truth
on Fox News to no avail!
Liberal Democrats have One beautiful Distraction!
And the New Distraction is to drag Fox and the Republicans
into their vortex,while Obamagasm skips all the main election issues!
Nice!

I really don’t understand the hatred of Fox News. I hardly feel like they’re conservative when they keep telling me not to water my lawn on account of global warming. But just try posting on article from Fox News on, say, Digg.com, and see if the first reply you get doesn’t mention “Faux News.” I’ve even seen this happen when the exact same story was running on CNN!
kc8ukw on April 13, 2008 at 4:07 PM
It’s hilarious how CNN’s Wolf Bltizer and Jack Cafferty keep propping up Obama’s presidential bid. CNN is so in the tank for Obama, it’s unbelievable. I thought network news channels were supposed to be objective. Objectivity went out of the cable news networks after the dems accused Bush of stealing the election and cable news producers and pundits like Blitzer and Cafferty (You can bet they voted for Kerry) joined forces to spread liberal propaganda. The anger of the left for the big steal is still boiling in their sniveling liberal minds that have been almost globally warmed to perfection.
Travis1 on April 13, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Obama, his gooey-eyed followers and the reveruuund have set race relations back by decades. They’ve made the mistake of letting Americans see how they view America.
I wouldn’t vote for Barack Hussein Obama if the only alternative were (inset any name you choose).
Onager on April 13, 2008 at 4:08 PM
I understand the barrack video now.
barracky was chasing the chicken not because the racial stereotype of blacks loving chicken but because the white chicken was coming home to roost and barrack had to stop it.
You know them typical bitter white folks and all their guns and God and country really scares Barracky and his mentor .
I feel so much netter now .
Mojack420 on April 13, 2008 at 4:10 PM
it is, frankly, embarrassing to read the words that come out of the mouths of today’s “black leadership”, from the public ravings of Rev. Wright, Obama’s evasive and dishonest “Race Speech”, and any one of a thousand recorded utterances by most of the others.
Shakespeare said it best: “A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
It is painful to read some of these speeches then try to analyze them, from the babblings of Jackson or Sharpton to the lauded “poems” of Maya Angelou (famous at the first Clinton inaugural).
Thay’re illogical, verbose blatherings: the work of second-rate intellects straining to be taken seriously. Far Left, almost exclusively, and soaking in self-pity, they point to an almost complete absence of basic analytical acuity. I often wonder about the basic intelligence of some of these speakers. Are they incapable of analyzing complex and important problems at all? Or are they just so corrupt that they don’t care about the impact of their words?
With a pathetic quality of low-wattage “leadership” like this, no wonder many in the black community are struggling.
TexasJew on April 13, 2008 at 4:11 PM
Wright said his faith :
This coming from a pastor at a church where black liberation theology is practiced?
Wright is against the “demonizing kind of faith”?
Who is this man trying to fool?

But he’s against the “demonizing kind of faith” taught elsewhere.
Sheesh.

I give it equal weight.

Exactly. Also, given Wright’s heritage one might even dare to suggest that one of his ancestors could’ve been a slave owner.
I’m just saying.

I beleive there was a falling out between Wright and Obama.
RobCon on April 13, 2008 at 4:21 PM
This Wright Rev. is beyond reason. He is a hopeless, failed, outed and un-apologetic race baiter. His foolishness should only be kept alive long enough to defeat Obama. But…it puzzles me why Afr. Amers. cannot see through him. The evidence is so clear that he is a detriment to their futures.
jeanie on April 13, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Ya’all know Wright’s moving on up to a Rich White neighborhood at his congregations expense.
Truly a man that lives to tend his flock - in another part of town that is.
Kini on April 13, 2008 at 4:22 PM
thePrez We were punished for that sin, it was called the Civil War, where we almost lost our republic.
I’m fed up with reading how slavery was THE reason for the Civil War. There were other reasons as well. The south and western states had little representation in Washington, because of lower populations. The northeastern states basicaly dictated to the other states. Trade was another.
When southern states and presumably western states as well, brought their goods to market in New York, they were charged tariffs by the other northern states as they went trough them. Likely the reason for the Interstate Commerce Act. Course, I went to school a long time ago, being 56 yrs.
I also live in North Carolina.

I wish this a$$h@le would get that the U.S. partook in the practice of slavery and also had a bloody civil war that killed over half a million people to end slavery. This fact probably would go over well with a “bitter” congregation.

God Damn America and all. He’ll be in good company.

Between Berbers and Europeans, we all hold partial responsibility for the effed up situation in Africa though.
Squid Shark on April 13, 2008 at 4:48 PM
It’s mostly like a Pavlovian response with these moonbats. Just the mere mention and they will begin to froth at the mouth.
Wright must have forgot that the Congressional Black Caucaus joined up with Fox News to host a debate…one that the Democrats, who are so open and tolerant, boycotted.

Branch Rickey on April 13, 2008 at 4:54 PM
Correct me if I am wrong. Didn’t America outlaw slavery some 140-145 years ago. Meaning, the country recognized that it was morally reprehesible and corrected the country’s past sins. Reverand @sshat can’t see that as a good thing. But of course, if the Rev. were to start acknowledging the good of America, he’d have to sacrifice his identity politics. If he did that, he’d loose his reason to exist.
Mallard T. Drake on April 13, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Speak for yourself Squiddy. I was born with clean hands and I’ll leave with clean hands. None of my ancestors had anything to do with that and what’s past is past.
Equal blame needs to be accounted for those that live on that continent.
Saudi Arabia is African? It’s close enough.
Kini on April 13, 2008 at 5:00 PM
The above was one of Wright’s quotes from the article. I find it ironic given Wright’s other messages where all he does is place blame on the rich white man.
I never realized how much they hate us. If they could only realize how infrequently we think of them. In other words, the white man is not at all preoccupied with keeping down the black man. Most white men and women are preoccupied with raising our kids right, working hard, and keeping roofs over our heads. People like Wright should work on empowering their congregants to do the same. Work on the out of wedlock birth rate, drugs, the incarceration of young black men at an alarming rate and all of the issues from within that are leading to the decimation of the black community.
sheesh on April 13, 2008 at 5:10 PM
I wasnt referring to slavery, I was referring to the years of economic exploitation and propping up of tin-pot dictators in that continent by our nation and other democratically elected powers. Since this was done by our governement in collusion with other democracies, yes we do hold a degree of responsibility. Weve come along way towards that goal under President Bush.
This is why the Muslim world has been mentioned as well.
Squid Shark on April 13, 2008 at 5:11 PM

Chakra Hammer on April 13, 2008 at 5:11 PM

Chakra Hammer on April 13, 2008 at 5:14 PM
Keep yapping Rev. Racebaiting Wright.
The “inclusiveness” is amazing.
BTW- some freed blacks in the South owned slaves.
So, maybe one of the Rev’s white ancestors and one of his black ancestors were slaveholders.
Would jabbering Jerry then implode?
Hopefully, with Obama’s campaign to follow?
profitsbeard on April 13, 2008 at 5:17 PM

Yeah and Saudi Arabia is close enough to Africa because they are all brown.
I am not Blaming America first even in the slightest. If I Blamed America First, I would not be serving. However to think that we are a nation who has done no wrong thoughout history is the purest naivete.
Squid Shark on April 13, 2008 at 5:36 PM
That’s kind of funny, when you consider that Wright’s “black liberation theology” pledges its adherents’ allegiance to the “motherland” of Africa, and says that if God doesn’t support the black man and his causes, then He should be killed.
AZCoyote on April 13, 2008 at 5:39 PM
I’m not sure about O’Reilly, but Hannity was doing stories on Wright nearly a year before any part of the MSM broached the subject. In fact, he even interviewed him for Hannity & Colmes, IIRC.
Gerard on April 13, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Keep preaching Mr Wright. Keep saying exactly what you think as loudly and as often as possible. Please make sure it is all recorded in the best video quality possible so that it can be given the widest possible distribution.
TheBigOldDog on April 13, 2008 at 5:52 PM
shhhh, that is a secret only whites are to know, don’t let the blacks find this out. Blacks would really be pissed if they found before there were slaves in the USA, other parts of the world had slaves.
Wade on April 13, 2008 at 5:56 PM
Most black slavery today is self imposed. Their dominant culture among youths and young adults dictates pressuring to cease and desist, under the threat of violence, any black person in the local community school system who dares wants to excel, achieve, learn, contribute or anything similar to make a color blind America. That’s the truth. The type of shunning that exists in Rev. Wrights neighborhood (not Mr. Rogers) keeps the man (and woman) down at all costs. Wright and Obama are enablers of this dreadful counter US culture sick syndrome. The Wrights, Obamas, sharptons, Jacksons, etc make a generous living off of perpetuating this sin on their own people. Yes, God will punish, but it will be on their sorry heads when the day of reckoning comes. Too bad so many potentially productive lives will be lost to what could have been a thriving inner city and America.
wepeople on April 13, 2008 at 6:00 PM
OK, call be a shade of naiveté if you will, but look at what you’re saying.
You’re not blaming America in one sentence and then saying we’re a nation that has done wrong. Deliberately?
So, which is it? If we are a nation that has done anything wrong, then it been through electing clowns like Jimma Carter.
My point, which I’m sure you didn’t grasp, was Wright’s persistent anti-American, [Rich] White [People] bigoted, Somebody Owes Me Reparations, Incite a Riot Sermons do nothing to promote any unity as a race, people or country.
Instead, he enslaves his congregation into the past by not freeing them into their own future. Their potential for achievement.
Point: slavery comes in may different colors and themes. Not just brown.
As for my Saudi Arabia reference; color was not the point. The Islamic government that is Saudi Arabia promotes and propagates modern day slavery. I suggested Wright might be among other that Damn America.
I refuse to feel guilty for Wright’s [or anyone else's] interpretation of America’s past.
You cannot take away what was, but you can add to what will be.
It’s all about choices.

Bill Clinton finally had his “shut up” moment with Hillary this week, when Bill tried to dream up some new lies to explain Hillary’s fibs about her Tuzla trip. That will probably keep him in check for a few weeks, but his ego won’t allow him to stay silent for very long, if Hillary continues in the race.
The same thing is true with Rev. Wright. Three decades of ego-stroking his beliefs by his south side Chicago congregation mean he’s addicted to saying this stuff and receiving adulation from the masses, albeit not on the scale Bill Clinto used to feel the love from liberals, no matter what he did. Wright shut things down immediately after ABC did the story on his DVDed hate sermons, and canceled his speaking engagments in Texas, but here he is again, offering up more of the same thing.
Wright’s going to keep doing it at periodic intervals now through the general election, because he can’t help himself. And as long as Obama is too fearful of the consequences of telling the reverend in public to “shut up”, Wright’s going to be the loutish/scoundrel brother Barak never had, in the Billy Carter-Neil Bush-Roger Clinton vein, only with far more hatred aimed towards, and potential damage coming from, the American people.

It’s a good point, necessary, and one you must be tired of making. However…,
some visible black leadership or grassroots groups telling Wright to go to hell would help clarify the fact that there are multiple views. Do you really anticipate much understanding of your point when Wright/Obama and their brand of politics dominates?

baldilocks on April 13, 2008 at 8:58 PM
The thing that conservatives need to do is this, JiangxiDad: stop letting liberals mark the lines of the battle field.
One of the ways liberals do this is by adhering to un-conservative concepts or concepts that have outlived their usefulness or phantom concepts–like “black leadership.”
baldilocks on April 13, 2008 at 9:02 PM
I don’t anticipate the majority of anyone understanding anything. That has no bearing on whether the attempt to spread reason should be made or not.
baldilocks on April 13, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Very nice post, baldilocks. The part that you are not mentioning in this paragraph (the point of your article, I think):
is that blacks are written into the laws of this country as a protected class. Whites cannot treat blacks as you suggest even if they want to. I know that doesn’t apply to voters’ opinions of Obama, but the environment is defined.
Best part:

I just sent an email to HotAir asking that your comment be removed and that you be banned from further comments, Moby.

You are a generous soul.

I can’t seem to reach a common ground with you on this.
Here’s my point. I’ll try to say it as clearly as I can:
Jews, of which I am one, are often a political problem because they tend to be liberals and vote Democrat, and don’t generally support conservative values. Their “leaders”, the guys/women who get on TV or into politics, or grab the spotlight, not elected, but self-selected, too often represent the liberal point of view, and defend indefensible Dem. politicians. None of that has much of anything to do with me, a lone and lonely Jewish conserv. guy in NY. That’s what I’m saying about blacks. While there may be plenty of exceptions, and you are apparently a conservative, what I said about Am. Jews I say about Am. blacks. Shoot me.

I should have added, that I am coming to the conclusion that all this talk about race and Obama is a red herring. Obama, as I think I said to you yesterday, is a white liberal. I am aware that he is genetically of mixed race.

Cut the money off…America will never win the hearts and minds of the black community as long as they are led by Wrights, Sharptons, Jacksons, their current wunderkind Obama. And so the saying goes that if you can’t win their hearts and minds grab them by the balls and the rest will follow. The black community is in large part supported by the taxpayers. From the government projects that I drive by everyday to the millions of section eight welfare mothers raising their children on foodstamps, WIC, Social Security, Medicaid and an host of other programs, the black community would cease to exist as we know it if these programs were to someday stop paying. Place pressure on these programs and the steady stream of hate mongering from their leadership would cease to exist. They need to learn a little R.E.S.P.E.C.T.. America is being played for the fool as well as being laughed at and reviled by those we are trying to help. Cut the money off…

What makes you think I’m white?

JiangxiDad: I’m starting to think the racial controversies
by Wright are nothing but divide and conguer!
Because since wright opened his mouth,the race
discussions have escalated,and especially on
Republican blogs!
Liberals are gifted at sh!t-disturbing,and
distractions,just think back to the Clinton
term,one distraction after another!
All this race baiting with Wright is a Styx
Grand illusion song of distraction.Its a waste
of time and its dividing everyone!
Lets all keep an eye on the prize,the best
POTUSOA that can run the War on terror the
most affectively!
