Powerful Hillary Supporter Set Up Rev. Wright National Press Club Talk to Damage Obama.

[NoodleyAppendage]

Is Jeremiah Wright a colossal disaster for Barack Obama or a press trick?
Tuesday, April 29th 2008, 4:00 AM

The Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club event Monday, which was organized by Reynolds. 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.

1. I watched Wright speak...

and you are truly delusional if you really believe that.

[NoodleyAppendage]

2. FACT. The person who coordinated his talk with the National Press Club was a powerful Clinton pers.

You are delusional and STUPID if you think that Hillary's people won't stoop lower-than-low to gain power and the nomination. She has proven herself to be a devious REPUKE in sheep's clothing, who cares nothing for the American people.

[leftofcool]

4. Might want to check some facts on Reynolds first

[leftofcool]

3. You have the wrong web site for Barbara Reynolds

popcorn time!

[NoodleyAppendage]

6. The blog that was listed there is now missing for some reason...I guess that's conspiratorial too?

Hillary had her minions pull this stunt knowing full well that Wright is a narcissist and could not refuse the spotlight. Hillary provided the ammunition for Wright's gun.

[leftofcool]

9. If you use Google, you will find the correct website

It is perfectly intact. Barbara Reynolds is a Black activist, a worker bee with the NAACP and a fabulous author. Put your tinfoil hat down and get a grip

[NoodleyAppendage]

10. Correct link here.

http://reynoldsworldnews.blogspot.com/

There you go.

[leftofcool]

12. We know who she is already

You obviously don't.

[Tellurian]

33. Typical incompetence by Obama supporters.. and they expect to beat the Repubs

Oh, brother! :rofl:

[waiting for hope]

5. Wright didn't have to appear -

It seems he is liking his 15 minutes of fame. If he had truly wanted to help Obama, he would have stayed in the background until the primaries were over. Now, all the news heads are doing again is Wright 24/7.

[NoodleyAppendage]

7. Wright doesn't want to help Obama and the Hillary people knew it.

The analogous situation would be for a powerful Obama supporter to provide a public venue for Mark Rich to give a talk.

J

[Arkansas Granny]

16. Why would Wright not want to help Obama? Do you have an explanation?

[NoodleyAppendage]

24. Wright's view of the world is adversarial. His power is derived from division.

If Obama is elected and attempts to smooth over race relations and bring people together, then the message of division preached by Wright becomes tired, hollow, and irrelevant.

Wright cares only for himself. If he truly was interested in improving life for African-Americans, then why is he doing a superb job of damaging the single-best shot that African-American's have had in hundreds of years?

8. CONSPIRACY!!!! ITS ALL HILLARYS FAULT!!! lol

[leftofcool]

11. Good God!

These O supporters are paranoid!

[NoodleyAppendage]

14. Considering Hillary's track record of using RACE, CLASS, and MANUFACTURED DIRT to win...yes.

Hillary has proven herself to be a lowly political organism, who is devoid of ethics and willing to bring down the whole party to satisfy her political desires. With a person of her poor stature, I put nothing behind her and her cadre of REPUKE friends who bankroll her team and hope to run against her in the general election.

J

[SeaLyons]

13. Obama supporters

give the poor man no credit. They must see Wright and Obama as powerless. It's incredible.

[NoodleyAppendage]

18. I wonder if you actually know your candidate.

Ever had a chance to see who bailed out Terry McAllufe?

Ever wonder why Mark Penn is STILL attached to her campaign?

Ever wonder why Hillary was a lawyer for Wal-Mart?

Ever wonder why Hillary LIED about being shot at in Bosnia or that she was "instrumental" in the Dayton Peace Accords?

Ever wonder why Hillary has done more to help corporate special interests?

Ever wonder why Hillary has taken more money from corporate special interests than ANY of the other candidates?

Ever wonder why Hillary supported NAFTA, then lies about it only after it turns out to be unpopular politically?

[leftofcool]

25. And all this has what to do with your latest conspiracy theory?

[rodeodance]

30. Take your stuff to the Conspiracy Forum.

[NoodleyAppendage]

38. Why don't you address those questions? I guess you can't or you're too afraid to. n/t

J

[SeaLyons]

43. And your point is what....

all of that gives her the power to set up Wright to make a public spectacle of himself?

[NoodleyAppendage]

21. It's actually the fault of the corporate interests who want to perpetuate their hegemonic power

Hillary - McCain. What's the difference?

At least this is what the MSM is trying to accomplish for their corporate masters. Populist candidates, such as Dean or Obama, will NOT be allowed to gain power because this would mean an end to the corporate stranglehold on Washington.

So, go ahead and vote for your candidate, but I guarantee you that things will not improve for the common American under either candidate (which are both REPUKES at heart).

15. Here's the link to her blog.

http://reynoldsworldnews.blogspot.com/

Plese check out the section on Rev. Wright which says, among other things:

The Jeremiah I know is a sought-after preacher in seminaries across the country. I have traveled with him, introduced him at the National Press Club and use his tapes as teaching tools in my prophetic ministry classes at the Howard University School of Divinity, where he often preaches to adoring audiences.
I am inspired by Wright’s leadership as the founding father of the Samuel D. Proctor conference, which is directed by Dr. Iva Carruthers, a Trinity member. The Conference is the progressive wing of the Black Church and represents some 50 million people through an ecumenical cross section of clergy and inter-faith leaders across the nation.

I don't believe she set him up for Hillary's sake.

[leftofcool]

17. Of course not

These things are usually set up and planned a year in advance at least.

[NoodleyAppendage]

19. Then, you are just as gullable as the lot of Hillary supporters.

Go back to hiding your head in the sand and continue to support a candidate who WILL NOT hold your best interests at heart. Fool.

[Arkansas Granny]

23. You have concocted a conspiracy theory out of whole cloth, and you call me gullible?

I'll admit that gullible is one of the nicer things that an Obama supporter has called me lately, but if anyone is hiding their head, it is you and it's not in sand.

[rodeodance]

28. "Fool" You resort to name-calling when you are proven wrong. you make the mature BHO supporters

look silly with your misleading (kind word or your OP) post

[NoodleyAppendage]

34. I thought I asked you to put me on your IGNORE list. I care not to hear from a Hillary Campaign OP.

Please leave me alone and place me on your ignore list. If I wanted Hillary Campaign Headquarters propaganda, I would go to her website.

BTW - How much are they paying you over there to "guide" the grassroot opinion for your boss?

J

[rodeodance]

42. you are LYING to say that. Putting out false information is LYING.

[QC]

20. And that wasn't actually Wright who's been on TV nonstop lately,

more ubiquitous than Britney Spears.

He is actually a pod person!

[Frances]

22. If you really want to help Obama,

stop trying to blame the Wright flap on Hillary. It just makes you look stupid. And it does Obama no good for voters to think Obama's supporters are stupid.

You will do Obama much more good if you focus on the Republican war on the middle class. Focus on Republican incompetence and corruption that has led to record home foreclosures and a mess in Iraq and Afghanistan. That is how you win votes.

Remind people how McCain supports Bush on the war. Remind people how McCain and Bush partied together when Katrina hit. Remind people how McCain was connected to the Keating money scandal. Remind people how McCain cheated on his disabled wife who had remained completely faithful to him during his POW experience. He left this wife for a rich, younger woman.

[NoodleyAppendage]

27. Screw that. Politics is WAR by other means. I'm quite happy to damage Hillary.

I make no apologies for wanting to bring down Hillary, who I view to be a REPUKE in sheep's clothing. She CANNOT win the general election, even if there was a chance of her getting the nomination. As such, I want nothing less than her reputation to be so sullied that it makes it impossible for her to even win in 2012 (if this is her true aim in tearing down Obama). I hate her and wish nothing less than her political demise.

J

[Frances]

46. So, you are NOT an Obama supporter

You do NOT want to see Obama win the general election

You just want to hate Hillary Clinton

Then I think you should start a hatehillaryunderground

You are just wasting the time and energy of people who want to see Obama in the White House

[MNDemNY]

26. Cry me a river.

:cry: :nopity:

[NoodleyAppendage]

29. How 'bout I kick your... n/t

J

[MNDemNY]

32. Typical Obamatron response.

:crazy: :nopity: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Haven't you followed the directive and put me on "ignore" yet? You may face sanctions.

[Tellurian]

35. Typical Incompetence from Obama supporters...what do you expect from these Lame-o's

:rofl:

[NoodleyAppendage]

36. Thanks for responding. I appreciate the implict kick of this thread.

You are but a willing pawn. Thank you.

[MNDemNY]

37. No problem, noodle.

Glad I could help keep the good reverend in the lime-light.:hi: :hi: Hell, I'll even give it a REC.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

31. What on earth are they going to do, people are starting to like Wright now!!!

it does get more confusing than britney spears!

[olkaz]

39. Good lord, there is a TON of IGNORED in here.

You must have done something to turn Smeagol into Gollum like that.

[NoodleyAppendage]

41. I'm a HillBot Magnet. They don't like to hear about their faux Dem candidate.

It's fine with me if I'm ignored or vice-versa. The HillBots at DU, those who are not Hillary Campaign OPs, are too far gone to actually dig deep enough into their candidate's record to see that she is not a supporter of populist ideals (those upon which the Democratic Party was founded).

J

[olkaz]

45. I just noticed your sig. Great work.

That is a hilarious idea and I salute you for it.

Miss Upton is a "US American" hero.

[indimuse]

40. YOu F*CKING Obamacans need to STOP Blaming Hillary for Obama's Mess!

This began with Obama and will end with O=bama...If it does not end his rise.

http://noquarterusa.net/blog/

WATCH REV WRIGHT INSULT President Kennedy! He brings this problem to himself and Obama! He cannot speak with out insulting SZOMEBODY!!! Which tells me...Obama is and ALWAYS has been aware of this mans questionable behavior.

Rev. Wright Attempts to Sully the Memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy »
Rev. Wright mocked the Boston-accent pronunciations of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and mimicked him — wholly inaccurately.

Not only does Rev. Wright not have a good ear for accents, he does not have a good ear for how his outrageous, self-aggrandizing remarks are received by the larger whole of American people.

[NoodleyAppendage]

44. I see you enjoy supporting a Democratic candidate who cares more about corporate special interests.

Must be nice having enough cash on hand to be one of Hillary's latte liberal supporters. When you get a chance please explain how her Senatoral and job record demonstrably show that she is a populist.

J

[Bethany Rockafella]

47. I'll play.

Even if this was a Clinton supporter that invited Wright to speak, why didn't Wright reject the offer? All Wright needs to do is get off the stage for a bit, in fact, it was dying down but he put himself in the picture again. You guys should be upset with Rev. Wright and not Senator Clinton or her supporters. You should also be upset with Sen. Obama for not having a private conversation with his former pastor for not telling him to lay low for a while.

[NoodleyAppendage]

48. I'm upset that a Hillary supporter is enabling a narcissist enough to damage Obama.

It's a fair point about Wright, and I agree that he is damaging Obama out of pure narcissistic joy. But, without a notable venue with sizable press coverage (which was set-up by a Hillary supporter), it is likely that the damage by Wright would not be as great.

Wright is the gun and finger on the trigger, but Hillary's supporter provided him with the "choice location" for victims.

49. Did anyone catch the HRC Surrogate on L King Live who said he can't win because he is AA last night?

I fell off my chair on that one! Can you believe it? And she was AA too!!!

Here is the transcript:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0804/28/lkl.01.html

FLAVIA COLGAN, "PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS" - Obama Supporter COLGAN: Look, the proof in the pudding is in the eating of it. And I certainly respect the viewpoints of the American voter. So far they have obviously chosen Barack Obama, in terms of delegates. And throughout the country, he's running a 50-state strategy. But I will respect whatever decision they make. I think that it's patronizing to the American public to think that we haven't made -- and this is whereI disagree with Reverend Wright -- that we haven't made enough progress as a nation that someone like Barack Obama will not become president simply because of the color of their skin. I do not believe that.

CAROLE SIMPSON, EMERSON COLLEGE - Clinton Surrogate: SIMPSON: Oh, you better believe it.

COLGAN: I'm sorry. You can have your opinion.

SIMPSON: You better believe it.

..........

Can you believe this kind of filthy tactics by Hillary campaign surrogates?

:wow:

[NoodleyAppendage]

50. Of course I can believe it. They are working against the American people and for corporate hegemony
