The Rev. Jeremiah Wright tried to explain his comment that he had not spoken to President Obama because “them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me.” He wasn’t successful. Wright claimed that he misspoke, and that rather than meaning all Jews he was referring only to “Zionists.” How is that better?

The chickens have come home to roost!
yay-ah
Stephen T. Johns belongs to who again?
Von Brunn rather. Johns was his victim. Awful.
I think President Wright should apologize, and immediately.
Oh, wait…
Who was it that Obama listened to for 20+ years? Talk about a hate monger.
I think Obama referred to Wright as his mentor. Oh, until he got found out and threw Wright under the bus.
‘The Jews’, it’s a particular ringtone that Obama has to warn him when Rev. Wright is calling.
“SolDevVB” comes forth with –
“Who was it that Obama listened to…?”
And whose phone number was on the dashboard of Scott Roeder’s car?
I thought you CONs were against “guilt by association.”
WOW, another Jew hating Liberal!
Who would have guessed?
Who wrote what?
Gore or the Unabomber?
1. And tragically, since the onset of the scientific and technological revolution, it has
become all too easy for ultrarational minds to create an elaborate edifice of clockwork efficiency capable of nightmarish cruelty on an industrial scale. The atrocities of Hitler and Stalin, and the mechanical sins of all who helped them, might have been inconceivable except for the separation of facts from values and knowledge from morality.”
2. “The modern individual on the other hand is threatened by many things against which he is
helpless: nuclear accidents, carcinogens in food, environmental pollution, war, increasing taxes, invasion of his privacy by large organizations, and nationwide social or economic phenomena that may disrupt his way of life.”
Gore wrote the first, the unabomber wrote the second.
…kindred minds
President Roeder should apologize, and immediately.
Oh, wait…

================================
Why do these fruitloops always ‘misspeak’? They would appear to be less cowardice if they just said, “OK you’ve got me, I hate Jews”.
Either way they look like a racist.
Regular – would that be the Gore that “created the internet”…or the one that later, when being asked to produce some e-mails that “lost” proclaimed “I’m not very good with computers”? I guess that’s why the NYT called him “Too smart to connect with the booboisie.”
Good thing Obama could get a point of view that’s different than Wright’s from another close friend, frequent dinner guest & babysitter….Edward Said, former PLO confidant, Columbia Prof & Univ of Chicago Prof (where did Obama go to school, guest lecture at again..??)
Here a couple excerpt gems from the article on Said:
“The public knows Edward Said as the most prominent American supporter of the Palestinian cause, the onetime confidant of Yasser Arafat (until Arafat’s “capitulation” to the peace process), who
was famously and incongruously photographed—a Columbia professor in southern Lebanon—hurling a rock at a guardhouse on the Israeli border. But Said’s real influence has been as the founder of “post-colonial theory,” arguably the dominant intellectual paradigm in those sections of the academy dedicated to the study of non-Western cultures.
His views are presented, uncamouflaged, where few of his American admirers will read them, in the pages of the Egyptian weekly Al Ahram. There Said makes it clear that he sees the United States as a genocidal power, with a “history of reducing whole peoples, countries and even continents to ruin by nothing short of holocaust.”"

Wright once again proves to be a rascist. WHo knew?
Apparently Gore blames technology and scientific discovery for the likes Stalin and Hitler.
Why am I not surprised?
However, I wonder if Gore includes Darwin’s theory that preventing the weaker members of the human race from breeding might improve it’s over all strength has having any influence on Hitler declaring the Jews as “weak” and thereby seperating them from the rest of society?
That connection is logical except for the fact it it did not matter to Hitler if it was even true (it’s not). He hated the Jews and would have killed them probably without the help of Darwin’s theory.
Not sure how Gore can say that true scientific discovery and technology can be blamed for anything evil that human nature desires on its own.

The Left are big fans of Eugenics, as was Margaret Sanger, the promoter of population control through Eugenics and abortion. You know to control the undesirables.
Here’s a quote from one of Margaret Sanger’s pamphlets.
It is a vicious cycle; ignorance breeds poverty and poverty breeds ignorance. There is only one cure for both, and that is to stop breeding these things. Stop bringing to birth children whose inheritance cannot be one of health or intelligence. Stop bringing into the world children whose parents cannot provide for them. Herein lies the key of civilization. For upon the foundation of an enlightened and voluntary motherhood shall a future civilization emerge
Pretty much identical to the philosophy of the Pro-Abortion crowd.
When Pat Buchanan said that Congress was “Israeli occupied territory,” the media completely ignored it.
I agree with Buchanan and Wright btw. The Israel lobby has way too much sway in our gov’t in general and with Obama specifically.
I’ve never been a fan of Rahm Emmanuel, and not because he’s a “Jew,” but simply because he’s power player, not a progressive.
When Wright talks about “them Jews,” we know who he means . . . the rich and the powerful who pull the strings. They don’t even have to be part of God’s chosen people to be lumped in with “them Jews.”
BTW, Saul Alinsky and Noam Chomsky are Jews. I’m pretty sure Wright isn’t talking about them . . .
BTW, Regular, there is no relation whatsoever between the content of Gore’s writing and Ted Kazinsky’s.
The former was talking about technology used for monstrous ends; the latter about the individual’s loss of control because of powerful forces like “big government.”
In that sense, the Unabomber sounds more like Ronald Reagan.
Reg – kinda ironic…but Sanger also was strongly opposed to abortion…called it “barbaric”. Yet PP market’s her as the goddess of it…dead on about the eugenics philosophy though, she did swim in the deep end there.
Capn – good thing Rev Wright got his multi-million dollar mansion so he could get away from all those rich people pullin’ all the strings!
Sooo…am I wrong in remembering that bho went to Wright’s church for what, 20 years? And mh compares that church attendance (and references of “mentor”) to a piece of paper on a dashboard. Oh yeah…really solid comparison there, mh.
Interesting that bho went to that church for years, and only repudiated the racist explosions after he started running for president. How convenient. How phony.
First off, you have to understand the distinction between Jews, and Zionist.
wright could blame it on aliens…if bho has a single working brain cell, he will never again (at least while he is in office) have any contact with that out of control racist.
BHO IS AN ALIEN, HE HAS NO BIRTHCERTIFICATE!
mannn..the libs here do NOT want to face the facts on wright, do they? They also seem to ignore bho’s TWENTY YEARS attendance at a radical racist church. Amazing…”ignore it and it will go away”…
Can anyone explain to me why it gives thrills to conservatives to call a member of a minority group a racist?; cross reference Newt’s exjaculations about Sotomayor. Sincerely trying to understand that tatic.
Raptor – you gotta be wearing ruby red slippers and click your heals before you say “ignore it and it will go away…”
I think it’s more a shotgun approach, when it comes to friends like Wright..kinda like his policy demands so far…keep’m comin’ fast and hard and they’ll forget about the last 20…like Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, Phleger, Shaka…Shaka…Shaka Farakahn, Blago, Resco, Ayers, basically his entire cabinet (including those who got booted)….
Steven – maybe you can explain why it would be difficult to understand that a minority can be racist just as easily as a “cracker”. Or is it ok, as long as the racism is pointed at “whitey”?
It is not a ‘thrill’ it is scary to know the President of the United States was an active member of that church…until he started running for president and it became untenable for him to maintain his association. How convenient for him. What does that tell us about bho’s TRUE beliefs? He stuck with Wright..calling him a mentor..until the light shining on Wright showed what a separatist racist he is.
No…I get no thrill out of it at all..just a feeling of revulsion that such a slick operator was able to sever that long term relationship and get away with it…
very true, DF,…the old saying, “you are known by the company you keep” is very true…and horrifying when we look at the president’s ‘friends’.
I would like to know why the Jews are so hated amongst the extremes in the Black AND White communities?
Thank you, Raptor, DF.
A question, though. Does it not seem possible to you guys/gals that Wright may have ever been more of a victim of racism than his “racism” ever victimized others? Does that seem at all possible to you?
Another sincere question, do white people have any damages they can reasonably point to that can be attributed to racism against whites?
I am just not seeing these damages. Just as a hint as to what I am talking about, no one ever lynched any of my ancestors because of the color of their skin. And to be so focused on the racism of people like Wright, just doesn’t do much for your cause. Can you dispute that?
The full quote from wright:
” “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office…”
Which absolutely proves my contention that bho only distanced himself because it was politically expedient to do, not because he was honestly appalled by wright’s statements.

==========================
Read some European history.
sooo…stephen…you are saying that racism per se is not harmful? We need lynchings before you will accept that racism is hamrful??
No damages? How about the tens of thousands of white students who were denied college admission because of racial quotas? After CA dropped the racial quotas and based admission solely on merit, minority enrollment dropped substantially. The most qualified–regardless of skin color–should be allowed to advance. Quotas such as CA’ UC system are racist and harmful.
SED is a disillusion drug user, Raptor.
He’s crazy insane, got no brain. Insane in the membrane.
“Which absolutely proves my contention that bho only distanced himself because it was politically expedient to do, not because he was honestly appalled by wright’s statements.”
We agree on that. In fact I was impressed by Obama when he initially refused to throw Wright under the bus and very disappointed when he changed his mind. In defense of Obama, though, Wright did not seem to know when enough was enough.
College admissions vs. being hanged to death. Those are remarkably equivalent damages. And I am being accused of using drugs?
As the Monkey pleaded earlier, please keep it up. You guys can’t possibly fail with the current strategy.
steven…you said you don’t see ANY damages, not equivalent. I provide legitimate ones, and you minimize them. Those were the first that came to mind…but if you want to play one upsmanship, go ahead. It is not worth the time to try to be reasonable with you.
just to remind you of your own words…
“…do white people have any damages they can reasonably point to …”
clear enough? or are you going to change your question after the fact again?
Steven – just so I’m clear on what you’re suggesting, reverse racism now is some kinda karmic reparations? Two wrongs make a “Wright”? (sorry, couldn’t resist…) This might sound cruel…but Muhamad Ali, getting off the plane after the “Rumble in the Jungle” with Foreman, when asked “How was Africa?”…responded “Thank God my grandpa got on the boat!” Not meant to be cruel, just pointing out the fact that although African American’s ancestors endured untold atrocities, their descendants today have a much better life than 99% of their African brethren (ie, see Obama’s Kenyan family…)
Is Wright a cat from a different time, when segregation was a national problem? Of course he did, the same as many elderly white folks that grew up with the opposite view. But it ain’t 1960 anymore…this nation’s done wonders to try and erase racism. You know what’s funny is Western Civilzation is the only place in history where white folks fought to end slavery. If you can name another historical people that was enslaved that was freed by white folks fighting for them, I’d love to hear it. The African Chiefs that were getting paid to betray their countrymen even sailed here after the Civil War to protest to DC about the “trade” being stopped.
The point with Affirmative Action is simply that maybe it’s run its course and maybe it’s time everyone just competes straight up.
You Racists at the WE Blog have nothing better to do then to attack the African American former Pastor of Barak Hussein Obama!
Shame on you.
I’m not so sure Wright has all his ducks in a row. But on the other hand all one has to do is a web search on the amount of people working in D.C. in government and holding high posts who also have duel citizenship with Israel. For a country with less than 2 to 4% Jewish it is astounding the number of folks with this duel citizenship working in government. I’m just saying………
HH,
Duel citizenship? Like Aaron Burr?

Good point. The Rwandan genocide didn’t require any technology greater than machetes and some old rifles. Half-a-million dead in only a matter of a few weeks.
All it took was mass mobilization, stirred up via ethnic hatreds that went far back in history.
