I couldn’t watch the whole video – Rev. Wright is so very tiresome, but we can’t simply tune him out because he (and his position as Obama’s “spiritual mentor”) is so very dangerous.

Isn’t “Soledad” Spanish for “loneliness”?

She might be rather lonely after people stop watching CNN, to avoid hearing Wright.

“We NEED to take Jesus out of Christianity!”

Another preacher who said that: Jim Jones. Jones’s ministry ended, er, rather badly.

What they were wearing made me wanna hurl, once they started flapping their lips, my bucket ran over.

Wright: “We NEED to take Jesus out of Christianity!”
this clues me in about 2 things: Wright is no Christian and he’s definitely an anti-Semitic. His buddy Louisss Fara-con
makes that point for him anyway.

Wright’s CNN apologists…

Martin and O’Brien parrot Wright’s claim that his comments have been taken out of context — in “sound bites” — and that his overall message is not offensive. But to tell people that they are only offended because they are ignorant of the “Africa…

Wait, so if we listen to Rev Wright’s whole sermon, that may shed new light on his comments? If that logic applies,
second look at what David Duke has to say.

stupid question, but does Soledad consider herself and African-American? if so, on what basis?

Whenever I hear about the multimillion dollar house and the ten million dollar line of credit it makes me think that there must be thousands of poor members of that church who are doing without to feed this man’s boundless ego. It has to make one wonder about all of the talk about the charitable work of the church. I know the cattle that tread the grain cannot be muzzled but this goes way beyond that.

O’Brian says that Wright has two Masters degrees, and a PhD.

He does not have a PhD. He has a D.Min. – Doctor of Ministry.

It may not seem like a big difference, but for those who have (or are on the verge of getting) a Ph.D. in Theology, the difference is quite real indeed.

As a wife who put her husband through seminary to get a PhD in Theology, I heartily agree.

Congrats, by the way. :)

Someone needs to juxtapose her Wright tongue bath to her sex abuse, more sex abuse, and nothing but sex abuse mantra when the pope was here.

go ahead and oppose AA, but constantly assuming that blacks in paid positions are there because of affirmative action is racist.

crr6 on April 28, 2008 at 11:40 AM

Nonsense. It is the direct and predictable result of the program itself. I know personally that many institutions use the most egregious form of AA – a hard and fast quota system. And when you see it in action, there is no other conclusion to reach but that it is racial discrimination.

To your point, though, it is not racist, but human nature. There is no way to know which if any of the protected classes would have succeeded without the quota system, which is why Ward Connerly’s criticism of AA is so spot on. AA undermines its beneficiaries.

So now they agree that “negroes” have a different brain structure then whites?

Soledad O’Brien’s head is larger than the rest of her body, and it’s all fluff. Insufferable!

Wright to receive an honorary doctorate in phrenology.

All this proves is that Soledad and most other soft leftists are easily impressed with a slick BS artist.
Guess who they are voting for. RobCon on April 28, 2008 at 12:59 PM

I sure liked her more when she was hosting “The Site.”

Hate pays:
Ayers and Dohrn have cushy tax payer paid jobs while Wright is getting a huge roost for his chickens.

Wright’s new, 10,340 square foot home is valued at $1.6 Million and located in a gated community.

Obviously, whitey kept him from getting a $2 million house.

So now they agree that “negroes” have a different brain structure then whites? Well then, which one is brighter, the higher I.Q., is that the reason “negroes” have not succeeded?

O’Brien’s comments were especially shameful and dishonest. She more than once tried to portray Wright’s commments as funny, bordering on hilarious.

I didn’t know Wright is branching out into stand-up and even if he is, his act was anything but funny.

Good point Debbie.
Soledad and others believe what they want to believe. It is the sure sign of the brainwashed. Sad to see people so deluded.

When the rev says change is comming he is right.

If Obama gets elected then you will see race baters in high positions in his cabinet and in government. If he does not then, it vendicates the revs message that the US of KKK A is racest and let the race war begin.

This guy makes me ill. Either way it is bad.

Gee, why didn't they swoon when Rev. Wright--in that same speech--thanked a Hezbo/Khomeini Imam?
