#1 Rev. Wright can help Hillary secure the Democratic nomination with his feelings, I'm sure she's inwardly appreciative.

#2 Attacks on him are really attacks on the black church, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. said in a speech to the National Press Club

So who died and made him Pope of the "Black Church" in the US?
One thing you've got to admire about ex-Muslims like Wright and Obama is how cheeky the bastards are.They have no compunction about self-aggrandizing them selfs.

#3 Hmmm...Ironically, this New York Times piece I find to be refreshingly unlike all the other pieces about this subject. This one makes the good Reverend look like a budding saint.

#4 Say hello to the new AA moral authority.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton just got demoted.

You can tell Rev Wright "retired" only in the sense that an elected Washington insider retires, only to show up on the board of Directors of a lobby shop on K St.

Only in America as Don King would say.

#5 Well if it is a BLACK church and not God's church then it deserves all the criticism that can be splattered on it.

And in the case of "Reverend" Wrigh, he is more about antagonism, race hate, black bigotry and politics than he is about the Gospel of love and forgiveness that Christ left us.

So yeah, we ARE attacking the BLACK Church because its not a CHRISTIAN church as you claim it to be.

#6 Perhaps your on to something OldSpook, when Christ returns, maybe he WILL descend upon the 'White' churches first. If I were Obama, I'd renounce the 'Black Church' and seek out the comfort of the Methodists, or Presbyterians, he just might get saved!

#8 Frank G, I'm sure you would have advised OldSpook to rephrase his statement to: "...So yeah, we ARE attacking Rev. Wright because he's not the Black Church as you claim it to be."! Right...RRRRight!
