AP you really know how to make someone despise atheists.

Ouch. That’ll leave a mark.

A little stronger than I would have said it, but I agree that AP’s bitterness toward Huckabee has always been over the top. And it’s no surprise that AP chose to slam Huckabee in two separate posts less than a week before the NC primaries.

You know Huckabee is out there raising money for Republican Candidates. How much have you raised/given? Huckabee is not going away, but he’s not he’s not being destructive to anybody either. He’s going campaigning for the Governor Candidate in Montana, and for our Congressional Candidate in a Special Election in MS. What’s your problem with him helping Republicans?

Well said. Huckabee is part of the solution, not part of the problem.

McCain, on the other hand, is part of the problem.

PLEASE FIX THE CSS. I AM SEEING MOBILE CSS ON IE.

PLEASE FIX THIS.

Is Huckabee ever going to go away. He is like a republican Carter… yet worse

. The strong form, or Huckabee theory, is that Wright’s black nationalist ministry is threatened by the progress that an Obama presidency would confirm. I.e. it’s business, and he’s out to protect his business interests.

I don’t think that this is even up for question: Of course true and great success by African-Americans is not in Wright’s interest. Same for Louis Farrakhan. Same for Jesse Jackson. Same for Al Sharpton. And so on. If Black America suddenly woke up tomorrow morning (as a whole) and realized that the civil rights struggle had actually been won a few decades ago, all these jokers would have to go on the dole.

(Oh, they’d probably like that….)

What is peculiar about this BLT embraced in the TUCofC by both Wright and Obama is that neither is a product of the Jim Crow South. They both also have mixed genes from the black and white pool. Why do they (sorry) cling to grievances, real or imagined, that cannot be undone and that are certainly not part of the American experience today?

A politics or a church based on grievance-mongering festers in passiveness, anger, and hopelessness.

What’s going to happen every single time anyone from the other side criticizes President Obama?

Racism, pure and simple. If the NC GOP ad was racist, everything will be racist.

Cashing in on racism will not end any time in the near future.

Mike Huckabee, my severe reservations about him aside, makes a good point about the good Rev. Wright.
“‘Jeremiah Wright needs for Obama to lose so he can justify his anger, his hostile bitterness against the United States of America,’…

Did Wright elevate his public lunacy so Obama could have a Sister Soulja moment? Or was his show (and Rev Sharpton’s unheeded call this weekend to shut down New York) trying to recapture the race hustlers’ Cincinnati 2001 achievement when they took d…

From one man known for mixing politics and religion to another

From one race-baiting angry moral relativist preacher to a bitter atheist moral relativist blogger.

AP you really know how to make someone despise atheists. I now turn off Hitchens when he is on the tube. I will never read Lovecraft. Before I started reading this blog I was rather neutral on the issue.

Now, the next time I run into one on the street, I will commence to jap-slapping them in your honor.

Exactly.

It’s like the global warmists needing global warming to be true. Instead of rejoicing at data that shows that the climate is okey-dokey (which they claim is what they want) they do everything to hide it, or claim that it’s fraudlent.

The same thing holds true for feminists or pretty much any activist group.

If the issue that gives them power ceases to be an issue they loose their power.

If I lived in Chicago and had to slog through all the sewage, corruption, malfeasance, onerous taxation etc. that goes on in Chicago, I would think that the world is as bad as Wright thinks it is. The good Reverend Wright is just accusing the wrong people for this condition.

Well, good point….I don’t really know what it is like to live someplace that corrupt. Mainly my point was, I don’t think he was trying to cause Obama trouble on purpose for his own ends. Seems like he really just wanted to set the record straight & answer the criticism he’s been getting. And because he’s so steeped in these beliefs, he didn’t know how poorly it was going to be received among the wider public.

It seems it’s a bit of both with a powergrab elevation twist. Rev Wright is fearless and principled in his own crazy uncle way and he can’t be happy that the Obama political couple is now dissing Wright and 20 years of his ideas and their discussions at the very time when he thinks they should be speaking truth to power and highlighting his profound influence on their audacious beliefs. Therefore, one possibility is that Wright now has lost hope in an audacious Obama Presidency and has come up with Plan B.

As I pointed out in The Wright Stuff comments:

Looks like someone is setting himself up to be the leader of the Obama Outrage 08 movement…something that doesn’t materialize if Obama is the white man’s nominee. Rev Wright engineering a media coup at the height of Obama’s popularity thus might serve a greater strategic goal to bring about real and abrupt societal change as we saw in the 60s. Did he calculate that a suddenly soft-spoken candidate who disowns his black radical faith and friends suddenly can’t be trusted to be “the one we’ve been waiting for”?

Wright has been preaching what he preaches for the past 20 years or so, and it’s not exactly a secret. In fact it was available on DVD.

Further Wright is not alone in his views. Black racism is hardly new, or a secret. But it never receives any air time; in fact, up until now, it couldn’t.

I think that things are much simpler: Barak Hussein Obama wants to be President, at just about any cost. Wright has no intention of changing his views (and really does want BHO to be President).

Both men think that by BHO distancing himself from Wright, all will be forgiven, and that which is not will not be talked about, just like the existence of racist black churches and theology in the US. Prior to the Wright Revelation(s), public discussion of Black Liberation Theology was unheard of.

But now the horse is out of the barn.

To some degree, Wright’s recent remarks are an attempt to intimidate the press and America at large, to return to the status quo or to discuss his remarks and risk being labeled a racist. We know how brave the MSM is. Wright might succeed.

This is simply an attempt to get everyone to forget and then believe that “the horse is really still in the barn, because the barn door is closed again”; that is, discussing black racism is still taboo.

This might sound like hypocrisy on the part of Wright, perhaps an attempt to have his cake and eat it too, clearly an intellectual conflict.

Remember though, that Wright retired to a 93% white neighborhood, and there was no outcry from his congregation …

My guess is that BHO and Wright will still have the father-figure/adopted-son relationship even after the election.

Hey Rev Wright! I wouldn’t take that if I were you! Find a TV camera and let him have it!

It could be true if Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton were the ones derailing Obama, but Rev Wright would have been the relgious leader of the POTUS..and that is a big deal. Rev Wright has much to lose if he loses favor with Obama or if he stays in Obama’s good graces but Obama loses.

Rev Wright: Look at me, I am black, when you attack me, you attack black churches.

Huckster: Look at me, I am a christian leader, when you attack me, you are attacking the christian faith.

Two people…same jerk-off attitude.

Here’s the analogy: I sell rocks. I make a lot of money and am getting a 10,000 sq ft home out of selling rocks. I sure as heck am not going to tell the people where to get their own rocks, and anybody who does has to be stopped. But what if the people suspect they might be able to get their own rocks, what if they have been thinking about it? Then show them a really smart hard-working guy doing everything right and right before he gets the rocks, show them it is IMPOSSIBLE and that they NEED me for the rocks.

If Wright can get the dem’s to “steal” it from Obama and give it to Clinton, he’s good for another 50 years of how whitey is holding the black man down.

But I don’t know if Wright is that smart…this could just be his chickens coming home to roost.

Huck’s 200% right. I said it all along – Wright and Farrakhan will have no jobs as race hustlers when there is a black president.

Ironically, Al-Burack is their worst enemy right now.

Aristotle on May 1, 2008 at 6:29 PM

Huck is 100% wrong. People like Wright will always find a reason to play the victim, and an Obama in office doesn’t change that a bit. Wright still treats slavery and Jim Crow laws like they’re going on today in ranting about whites- Obama isn’t going to hop in a time machine and undo them.

Presidents don’t have absolute power- whatever didn’t go their way could still be blamed on Whitey.

Ironically, Al-Burack is their worst enemy right now.

I think Wright really, seriously believes all the non-sense he has been preaching; in spite of being surrounded by tons of evidence that things are not really as bad as he is making them out to be.

Obama knows this, thus he treads lightly, and so does the Dem party which caters to the Wright’s of the Black electorate–not a small number. Without the Black vote the Dem party ceases to exist as a functioning party. Victimology is a huge vote getter.

We already know that Wright is a idiot loon. Given his long-running support for Obama, I don’t see him trying to derail the campaign out of a need to appear aggrieved.

Obama has denounced some of what Wright has said, but in terms of criticizing Wright even his most recent speech was very mild.

So what we have is an effort by Wright to portray their relationship in good shape when he truthfully said that Obama is just saying what he has to to get elected when criticizing him. This- far more than anything Wright has said- bothered Obama as it contradicts the image he’s tried to portray and hence the somewhat stronger condemnation.

I’m sure that Wright was a little bothered by what Obama said, but he understood that it was just politics- and he was too stupid to keep his mouth shut in saying so.

Race hustlers like Wright will always cling to their oppressed victim status; Obama being elected wouldn’t change that- certainly not enough that he’d give up the chance to have his friend and protege in the White House.
