BREAKING: Clinton Supporter “Organized” Yesterday’s Wright Appearance
Well … Well … Well … What have we here?
This guy seems to have become the proverbial “bad penny” that the three politicians either CAN’T rid themselves of, or quite possibly be “pinching” for their own agenda …
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time in this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day for a revolution
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out what’s in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath
Then I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
what’s goin’ on
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I say hey, what’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I say hey, what’s going on…
NYDailyNews:
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright couldn’t have done more damage to Barack Obama’s campaign if he had tried. And you have to wonder if that’s just what one friend of Wright wanted.
Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds.
A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity. (She is an ordained minister).
It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club “who organized” the event - is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter.
On a blog linked to her Web site- www.reynoldsnews.com- Reynolds said in a February post: “My vote for Hillary in the Maryland primary was my way of saying thank you” to Clinton and her husband for the successes of Bill Clinton’s presidency.
The same post criticized Obama’s “Audacity of Hope” theme: “Hope by definition is not based on facts,” wrote Reynolds. It is an emotional expectation. Things hoped for may or may not come. But help based on experience trumps hope every time.”
In another blog entry, Reynolds gives an ever-sharper critique of Obama: “It is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray, the senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement.”
I don’t know if Reynolds’ eagerness to help Wright stage a disastrous news conference with the national media was a way of trying to help Clinton - my queries to Reynolds by phone and e-mail weren’t returned yesterday - but it’s safe to say she didn’t see any conflict between promoting Wright and supporting Clinton.
It’s hard to exaggerate how bad the actual news conference was. Wright, steeped in an honorable, fiery tradition of Bible-based social criticism, cheapened his arguments and his movement by mugging for the cameras, rolling his eyes, heaping scorn on his critics and acting as if nobody in the room was learned enough to ask him a question.
Wright has, unquestionably, been caricatured and vilified unfairly. The feeding programs, prison outreach and other social services he has built over more than 30 years are commendable, and his reading of the Judeo-Christian tradition as an epic story of people trying to escape slavery is far more right than wrong - and not something to be caricatured or compressed into a 10-second sound bite.
But Wright should have known - and his friend and ally Reynolds, a media professional, surely knew - that bickering with the press can only harm Wright and, by extension, Obama.
I hope that wasn’t their goal.
“I hope that wasn’t their goal.”
-That may be quote of the day.
Klinton inc. was caught with their pants down on the rise of the hussein. To take him out they are doing a wonderful job now. bubba’s attacks have forced the hussein to go negative and taken the shine off him. hussein is nowhere near the politician that hillary or bubba are and it is showing.
………
As for the Reverend, He is more faithful to the flock which paid for his 10 million dollar mansion than he is to obama.

Just a passing thought …
McCain is such a aisle straddler.
He already has Joe Leiberman standing beside him … and I have a strong hunch there just might be a planned spot for Joe in Mac’s administration …
Mac and Hillary seem to be buddy-buddy enough … and he’s breathing a sigh of relief that SHE is determined to be the one to send Hussein to the general election in a full body cast …
MIGHT she also have aspirations for a spot in a McCain (bi-partisan) administration … as ‘payback’ for doing his dirty work?
She could bust the shit out of the general by endorsing McCain over party rival Hussein.
The dem party voters ARE saying if [their] candidate isn’t chosen to run in the general, they will be voting McCain … A Clinton endorsement would pretty much lock in a huge percentage of her supporters …
Just might work … if you keep Bill the hell away from the campaign.
April 29th, 2008 at 6:06 amHuessien the magic negro, Jerimaha the not so magic negro, Klinton Inc., McCainiac the grumpster—J-DAM the whole f***in bunch.
300 million Americans, + or - 20 mil Illegals, and this bullshit is the best we can come up with
April 29th, 2008 at 6:22 amI cannot see hilda taking a position in a republican administration. Even if it is a straddler like McCain.
She wants the presidency, if she would be content to be a team player she would have relented earlier in the campaign and let the obama have it. This is not about the country, it is about her.
April 29th, 2008 at 6:28 amObama always stood to threaten the status quo in the organized black movement. That’s why he didn’t have support from the usual black shake down machines. He offers too much of a solution, (in their minds). His presidency could leave them with no more excuses for the failure of blacks to enter the main stream. After all if a black can become president, then how can you call yourself a victim anymore?
April 29th, 2008 at 6:29 amNow all they need is to find a way of blaming the right for Barak’s victimization.
Operation Chaos (Rush Limbaugh) provides them with this very vehicle back to the vast right wing conspiracy. NPR is already saying that Rush Limbaugh’s Republican cross overs might decide Indiana.
That is the real danger. Having a Clinton blaming the right for crippling the Dems. and making them have to choose their candidate without a popular vote. Thereby, uniting the Libs. against McCain.
