Ignore the Wright hype all he did is speak truth and the truth is the answer
The truth will always ruffle feathers at first, but eventually it will resonate. Just let the flap continue, it will only mean people will listen to the whole speech and get a clearer view of Wright. Obama is still ahead can't see that changing, even for all their false ourrage.

1. I think your right, the MSM will run out of steam on this before long....
What all can they keep saying that hasn't been said? They are also going to run out of the link between Rev. Wright and Obama soon.

2. Clinton supporter on MSNBC now, who kept looking down as she spoke
like she knew she was being a jerk, was just eviscerated by the man who supported Obama re: angry Rev. Wright.

"Here's the tragedy, Rush Limbaugh is the only guy who can be angry in America, a black man can't be angry and sarcastic. That's a tragedy right there. Rush Limbaugh does it and he makes millions of dollars, a black man does it, he's a detriment."

all she could say was, "he's a preacher, humility is called for."

4. Humility? How did Jesus speak? He made the establishment very angry.
WWJD? These fucking Hillbots and racists and bigots have NO humility before God.

8. Humility doesn't mean meekness
Humility means willingness to look at oneself, honesty, knowing your limits, absense of arrogance. You can be quite boisterous, and still have humility. The people using the word "humility" have no idea what it means. Jesus was very sure of himself, but was never arrogant. I don't think Wright is arrogant either. But I like boisterous people.

5. Why does a preacher have to be meek?
The Bible specifically objected to lukewarm faith. Seems to me this country needs a little exuberance.

6. She's feeling that shame
that we'll all be feeling if we allow this to take Obama down. I will be on the right side of history on this. A decade from now, if this is enough to take Obama down, we'll all feel a sense of national shame and like the Hillary supporter, will be looking down when we talk about it.

3. YES! Thank you. Truth will set you free. We should stop worrying about what "they" say,
we should be glad the truth is spoken in our corner. I will trust God to work the rest. Fuck the media and pundits, fuck racists, fuck republicans, and fuck Hillary too, if you must.

9. They fear the message
It must be suppressed. It must be discredited. It does not serve to divide the people into manageable groups but threatens to provide a basis for their unification. They can't have that.

By their words and deeds, the Clinton people now make their choice clear, and by so doing reveal who they really are.

I have to say I am disappointed ... but no longer surprised.
