So, what you end up with is, two White guys with some Black heritage, telling Blacks what to think.

How disgusting is THAT?…A con-game being played on Blacks by two White guys.

jus’ another way of looking at it

The problem with your premise is that (as I keep repeating) almost all black Americans have some white heritage. Unless we’re going to pick a point where mixed race (black) persons are one race or the other…a more abhorent prospect than remaining at status quo IMO.

Atwater.

Is King comparing Wright to a murderer?

He’s not poison to white America, he’s poison to America.

Indeed!

We folks in Texas would have been proud to kill and burn that worthless bastard in a pit.

I consider “the Willie Horton ad” to be a COMPLETELY TRUTHFUL, proud and noble moment for the Republican Party while opposing a leftwing POS like Dukakis. It was a very revealing look at Dukakis’ nutcase radicalism and probably saved many American lives by helping to stop the radical leftwing pro-criminal policies of the democrats.

RIP, Lee Atwell..

Ann Coulter’s Godless is a must read for anyone who labors under the misconception that using Willie Horton to defeat Dukakis was a dirty trick, or used to appeal to racists.

Exactly!, It was designed to appeal to anti-rapist folks like myself.

It would have been equally effective had Willie been white.

Too bad they’ve had to prematurely ejacualate thus blowing their wad in the primaries.

Now they’ve soiled rug and have nothing left for McCain.

McCarthyism == exposing a democrat as a communist when he really is a communist.

Who in America knew that there were such pox-filled sores preferring to have their scabs picked repeatedly rather than form a color-neutral skin of character?

Please, Not before breakfast.

Colbert King is so tunnel-visioned in making the issue one of racial identity that he fails to see Wright’s rhetoric as damaging to all of America. Wright himself and the whole BLT perpetual grievance industry have been brought into the disinfectant sunlight, but the “doctor” and his dependent patients refuse to be healed. Who in America knew that there were such pox-filled sores preferring to have their scabs picked repeatedly rather than form a color-neutral skin of character?

Well said.

The sad part is we had several generations raised to reject the old evils. Now many will retreat into defensive positions.

The scary part is a seemingly neutral Obama had been sucking up Wright for 20 years.

Revealing Obama’s other side has cast doubt on everyone who poses as race neutral. This is a recipe for disaster

Wright is a race-baiting, demagogic, paranoid, conspiracy-mongering, self-aggrandizing, un-Christian, foul-mouthed, loose-cannon, pea-brained crackpot.

…who will, of course, be sitting at the edge of his indoor swimming pool, in a mansion on a golf-course, with a Million Dollar line of credit, chuckling, and congratulating himself.

Didn’t you guys here at HA refer to the NC GOP ad as a “Willie Horton ad”?

Typhonsentra on May 3, 2008 at 8:58 AM

If anyone did, they certainly didn’t mean it as an insult. There was and is nothing wrong with the Willie Horton ad, nor with the NC GOP ad.

Willie was a murderer who committed awful crimes while on a furlough, a furlough that a soft-on-crime liberal Democrat supported. He also happened to be black, which is just about his least objectionable characteristic. As has been said in the comments previously, he wasn’t a threat to white America, he was a threat to America.

The Rev. is a racist, conspiracy-theory-peddling, grievance-mongering lunatic. He until very recently was supported by a liberal Democrat. He also happens to be black, which is just about his least objectionable characteristic. He’s not poison to white America, he’s poison to America.

Let them try to defend that.

(This classical Baby of Tar will only get them all covered in their own laughable pitch.)

I’m assuming, Jeremiah Wright’s father was White…I come to this conclusion, because it’s been noted in many articles, his mother was Black, but in all those articles, his father’s race isn’t mentioned…We also know, Obama’s mother was White.

So, what you end up with is, two White guys with some Black heritage, telling Blacks what to think.

How disgusting is THAT?…A con-game being played on Blacks by two White guys.

That said…

We know, from the Mar. 2007 interview with Sean Hannity, Wright firmly believes in BLT as articulated by Cone.

We’ve all seen the tapes of his sermons.

We’ve all seen the speech he gave to the NAACP.

We’ve all seen the speech he gave to the National Press Conference.

Now, we’re supposed to believe, he wasn’t preaching BLT in church?…Every Sunday…For 20 years.

We’re supposed to believe, Obama doesn’t have the same philosophical views?…That, he’s all “outraged”?

“I’m outraged…I don’t share those views.”
–Obama

“He’s just saying what politicians say.”
–Jerry Wright

“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Mr. Wright said with a shrug. “I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.”
–NYTimes

So, with all this evidence, as circumstantial as it may be, you don’t have to be a member of this “church” or attended the sermons, to know EXACTLY what philosophy was being preached…And, the Con-Game, that’s being played.
