Jeremiah Wright Press Club 1of3 Q&A 28th April

[stage51manager]

1:42 How many years did Cheney serve! LOL! Jeremaiah Wright should of said was ..how many years did Bush serve...how many years did Stephen Baldwin serve....how many years did Ted Nugent serve... how many years did Rush Limbaugh serve...how many years did Sean Hannity serve... and how many of you chicken-hawks serve?

[gregcyber]

Japan Kill 14 Million Chines in just a few years, Exterminated all Villages, Does the Rev, (this con man) Say any thing about ALL THE KILLING Japan did ?

[2ckreed]

Rev. Wright is one of my pastor's (Bishop JF Kafaela, Pomona) friend/mentors. They are so much alike! They say it like it is....TRUTH. That's why it hurts so bad! But they are starting a revolution of REAL Christians. By the way, I'm a white member at Imani Christian fellowship! ;)

[soulchild3751]

You can tell by the look on her face what political affiliation is.

[ddsharper]

they got that whip and they are tellin' im, call yourself toby. he is sayin', kunta kinte

[12122po]

who stepped on his toes i dont think any one did

[1980vince]

i have never heard anyone say keep your aplause to a minimum.

[12122po]

you are one radical man jeremiah you dont love your neighbours you hate america what a shame for a pastor

[kanguesso]

@12122po Love your neighbours? what world do you live in? If i stepped on your toes repeatedly and deliberately, would you love me? If you would, you're lying and shame on you instead.

[maumauuhuru]

It's amazing how SALTINES can twist the truth, this is something that a demon is good at!!!! Listen at the questions that are asked, this for crackers.

[DJrizzle57]

@ 1:49 that look on the reporters face was complete classic. It was the look of "Oh shit, what the hell have I got myself into now.....?"

[heckler171]

this has never happened liked this before. omg. the irainian pres. the venezulain pres. farrakhan, japan, china. equador, fidel, iran. omg! america is in for some trouble.

[heckler171]

look at this girls face.

[samson5791]

Dick Cheney comment...snnnaaap!

[Motionedout]

What's to get angry about in this clip? 8+ years of Fox News lying to us and nine minutes of truth. Go Rev!

"If White America told the truth for one day, its whole world would fall apart."

--- Lenny Bruce (attrib.)

[bittyrock]

How many years did Cheney serve? Classic Quote because Fox News had this Live and bitched the entire about Wright not saying Sorry...LOL

[jtkalehua]

LOL @ the lady using her gavel to quiet everyone up, sorry missy but when you got a man like Brother right preaching, ain't no gavel gonna stop the folk from witnessing. Go head reverend!!!!

[killamully]

Um McCain served 23 years in active duty, Mr Wright. 27 if you count the 4 years in the naval academy. Wright can certainly persuade the audience there, and also at his church/ The black people seem to eat that shit up. How could you be a christian and listen to him bash anyone not black. I am a christian and have friends of pretty much every ethnicity. When does it end.

[bittyrock]

What does McCain have to do with it. Rev Wright is referring to Chickenhawk Limbaugh, Cheney, Hannity and others like Nugent who never wore the Uniform but talk the talk but never walked the walk. I'm a Proud Marine Corps Veteran and I love Senator McCain as Most All Veterans do. But those Chickenhawks at Fox and in Talk Radio who talk the talk but never walked the walk.

[BlackSunsu]

@killamully

Dr. Wright wasn't talking about McCain in the first place, he was referring to Cheney. To go further with this, all of us could refer to some Republicans and Democrats being Chickenhawks!

[TheLookAtSeries]

Fox news, hanity, hanity and coomes and all of you other racisr white supremacist, slave maste mentality individuals. you are no match for the rev.

[TheLookAtSeries]

Me too, sir, me too.

[stillcracking]

Rev WRight is like 85% white. That's why he is a leader in the black community.

It's rare to find "black" leaders who not predominantly white.

[seroMU]

absolutley very intelligent this man. i like him. 6:18 is very funny

[stillcracking]

@seroMU Why do blacks equate proper grammar with intelligent...probably because it's so rare amongst blacks. but...rev wright is clearly more white than black. Perhaps he should be called "Reverend Whight"

[PrinceCharmless100]

@stillcracking how is he more white than black?, because he's lightskin, ignorant idiot

[raptorkiller2k5]

@PrinceCharmless100. There are indigenous blacks in Africa who are a lot lighter than Jeremiah. You just need to go around Ethiopia, Eritrea, and much of the Northern Nigeria as well. I don't know why people assume that all Blacks are Dinkans, Senegalese, and Guineans. Blacks Africans contain the most diverse complexions on the planet. It can be found on PubMed, but it isn't surprising that Blacks have various skin tones. Lighter skinned Blacks in Eritrea are lot less "white" than Snipes.

[raptorkiller2k5]

@stillcracking. Hey hey, we got a scientist here. I doubt Sero has genuinely met any Blacks (outside of calling the cops on us) and has access to no demographic surveys. What does proper grammer have to do with the "truth"? The truth is, most of white middle America have slaughtered the English language. One just has to look at international comparative studies between OECD nations. "White" Americans are far from impressive, so let's get back reality, bubs.

[TheManofIntegrity]

I agree with him on most of the stuff, but he's being very arrogant.

[ufuckfacesonofabitch]

Ha ha, you can tell that the girl is uncomfortable being that close to Wright!

[MyThoughtsIhave]

The truth hurts... but the truth is shinning stronger than ever this last day... Last days of the old rule.

[gilgal75]

Well said he is teling it like it is you can't be mad only a fool would be upset!!!!!

[angelfromgod333]

INTELLIGENT MAN

[tarpumpphillips]

He is ..................... pompous, but he is good at words, this man is obviously smart and well educated. I do agree iwth most, if not all of what he said in this clip.

[brotherhood302]

Wright is Right!!!!!!!!!!!

[airman797]

I am not religious, but Reverend Wright destroyed every question that the press Lady asked. I got sucked in to the media biased clips of the Rev and thought another disgruntled black millitant. Now that I have watched all of the FULL VERSIONS of the clips, I think he is right and talks sense.

The MORAL of my note is, always look at the big picture first before you judge and not the one the press take out of context.

I live in the United Kingdom and I would go to one of his churches.

[danofsydney]

very well said airman797

[twotonebuick]

You are a muthafuckin genious. God bless everyone who is willing to think for themselves. Happy Easter! My bad, you not religious. Good luck to you.

[quetou]

Amen! and EXACTLY! many were sucked in to Fox News' soundbites and press loops.

[stillcracking]

@airman797 You've got to be kidding! Just because he was mugging and acting out for his sophomoric church members doesn't mean he "won" the debate. He simply strengthened the public perception that he and his church are childish, ignorant, hate-filled, racist, biggots with hitler-like aspirations for revenge upon white America.

[raptorkiller2k5]

@stillcracking. Come on! All you've posted is buffer and dispute the fact that America is a leading terrorist state. White people in OTHER Western nations would even admit it. Unfortunately, many will ignore how their nation also plays a role and benefits from global oppression. Regardless, the majority has spoken and you're out of your mind.

Just refer to Noam Chomsky, or Malcolm Luther King (on Vietnam), or even better Jesus Christ: “[...]Love others as well as you love yourself, [hypocrite].

[MrHochstapler]

This guy is the typical out-of-context charlatan!

[quetou]

This is true, if you are an angry right wing conservative that cant handle the truth. I agree. But if you know the real history of this country, if you can recognize right vs. wrong and good vs. evil, Rev Wright and the millions of other black ministers in America are simply truth bearers.

[jBr00k]

Some people aren't ready for real talk, they prefer to sooth wounds with fake lies. I applaud the backbone of this man. To call a bully a bully no matter what neighborhood he is from is courageous, whether he is from your house or strangers. You can put on red/white & blue a do what you want to do to people and expect those with a heart to still not call you a bully.

[Ed76638]

It's hilarious how the corporate media and the stupid people overreacted to this very insightful individual.

[drsmjrl]

You can clearly see that he was provoked to act in this manner. Who would ask such questions.

[wizKidd86]

This guy is amazing weather you agree with him or not. He's the type where you have to SEE him when he speaks because you lose so much if you don't...

[mastersecret85]

?? I think I could go without ever hearing this guy spewing heresies and lies.. He will one day answer for his lies and deceitfulness.

[quetou]

Lies? LOL, you have to be kidding me. He exposes the lies of the evil right and you call him a liar? Too funny!

[ChristiansMustLearn]

@quetou its not the "evil right" its the evil minority. Its the elites in both parties, the eilites in the military and in finance...its the system irrespective of the poilitcal wing

[grocstar]

God Bless Farrakhan.

[AnonymousBChurch]

Farrakhan is an FBI informant.

[ammannojacku]

WOW

[smarman12]

what a hate filled asshole...

[megaworld65]

lol he made them all look silly! Freedom of speech correct? bullcrap! CENSORSHIP is heavy in the good ol USA. This man speaks his mind and won't do a fake apology, and a lot of people can't deal with that, so they call him a "nut" and anti-american. He served in the USMC which is more than the last two presidents can say(BUSH-AirGuard,Clinton draft dodger)

[AnonymousBChurch]

Which part am I supposed to be offended at?

This is what most White Christians think: Jesus was White. If you say Jesus was Black, that makes you Racist, because you are giving Jesus a Race - Black - when really he had no Race, because he was White.

That's what "Christians" are saying on youtube.

[smarman12]

you should go chill with wright, i think you two have the same twisted,moronic,hate filled ideas. if you ever talk to a true christan and ask him what race jesus was he will respond with something that will make you and your hate filled mind angry. A real christian dosnt care what race jesus was because jesus loved everyone equally, why does it matter what race he was. Really you should drop your hate breeding and try to love and live.

[AnonymousBChurch]

smarman12 you've never even read the Bible have you?

You are the one chanting "hate hate hate." Are you a "real" enough Christian to answer?

[AnonymousBChurch]

smarman12 not sure if you got the message. "Jesus loved everyone equally" - can you explain that? Do you have a Bible verse that shows Jesus saying this?

I've read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus had some EXTREMELY HARSH words for certain people. Jesus used some excessively derogatory terms for certain people.

I would suggest to anyone to read the Bible, especially before spouting off about "what would Jesus do."

[jefeisdguard]

Jeremiah Wright is not only a racist But he is a smart-ass! What has Cheney have to do with this? Who gives a crap about the Black traditions? Does anyone here think that is the only ethnic race on earth? There is a serious violation of reverse discrimination & a double standard here. This man bases his beliefs from Dr James H. Cone book.

Part of an excerp;

"Black theology will accept only the love of god which participates in the destruction of the white enemy."

[owenrip]

In the late 1940s the CIA bombed a popular muslim cleric who was critical of the shaw of Iran during that time. The CIA bombed this man to blame it on the Shaw so that the Shaw would lose credibility and popularity with the muslims of his country. THis cleric was innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever. If that isn't an act of terrorism perpetrated by the United States I don't know what is.

[SwamiPoobah]

Wright doesn't give a damn about the "black" man. Wright cares about Wright. This asshole lives in a mansion.

[SwamiPoobah]

The white man created HIV to kill blacks?

Fuck Wright.

[AnonymousBChurch]

no, Wright was wrong, the White government didn't invent AIDS to kill the Blacks, the White government invented Planned Parenthood to exterminate Black babies before they could be born. Thanks to KKKlanned Parenthood, Blacks will always be a minority!

[SwamiPoobah]

AnonymousBChurch...you're an idiot.

[hooyo4ever]

white men not you stop defending the most violent race to walk this earth. white meaning the rich elite not your ma and pa.

[SwamiPoobah]

hooyo4ever...shut the fuck up, moron.

[SwamiPoobah]

Wright is in it for Wright. This fuckwit doesn't give a shit about anything but himself. Slavery hasn't been around for a long time and yet this Bozo wants you to believe that he's a slave. This asshole lives in a mansion, owns three luxury cars, and flies around the world in a private jet. Fuck this guy.

[lutermark]

I know it was unusual but, the klan were hanging black men in small towns in NC in the 80's in the downtown squares. BUt they weren't hanging them because they were black, they hung them because they were women and children abusers.

[IncredibleGoliath]

The reason the reporters are all laughing and applauding is he's giving them material for a whole of BS contraversy.

[tomaluta]

agree is a new MALCOM X, say it like you see it, in bombastic way if the diplamatic is no good

[FighterOfFascism]

im not an african american, but i agree with about 90% of what jeremiah wright says....i think he's a bit out there on the HIV thing, but he speak the truth. the problem is that he speaks too bluntly at times, and i think this scares many people. do as i did, and please watch the ENTIRE sermon(s) which the media simply loops over and over again. i implore you all!

[marsviii]

What about his support of the fascist Farrakhan?

[dreamcity4life]

clownish buffoonery

[mnuez]

The dynamic between the red-dye and Wright confuses me. He seems to be rather hostile to her and I'm not sufficiently clear on who she is or who wrote her questions to be able to judge the morality of that. Beyond that however, I still don't see what requires such vociferous condemnation. I can certainly see why Obama himself isn't saying these things (he doesn't have to, he may become president and be able to DO rather than complain), but what's so wrong with what Wright said?

mnuez

[Digity26]

Rev. Wright is jealous of Barack. That's why he's doing this. If Barack becomes the president then Rev. Wright will have less to whine about. He'd rather keep blacks oppressed so he has an audience. The guy is a HUGE egomaniac.

[fosterolle]

and to Dr. Rev Wright.........Suck You,ya Mama and her Religious Tridition!! Yeah I Said IT!

[pchest]

I am sadden by the comments of Rev. Wright and the commentaries from the posts. Rev. Wright's display is unacceptable, the replies are quite unnerving and the posts are unsettling. One should wonder what is beneath the surface in all instances and be very concerned for the future of this country and consciousness. Because of caution, one should watch all of this from an escapable distance.

[HB3BEE]

"I am open to being Vice... President"... WHAT? Did you see the look on his face in the middle of that sentence? Almost as if to say... 'OOPS, I shoudn't have said that'. Hmmm. No wonder Obama denounced him. Smart move!

[Oneguy4America]

I am a black man. Ashamed to be a black man. We are not developed like whites. We are not as smart and we are easily fooled. It is terrible that this preacher is exposing us for what we are. We know we are still evolving, we just don't want eveyone to know it.

[nyemane]

Dude, he wasn't serious... Guess it went over your head.

[nyemane]

HB3BEE

[bshitter]

His change of attitude proved what? It proved that his guy does not have the value needed to be a pastor. This guy is narrow-hearted in the sense that he seeks revenge and lacks love so much promoted by Christianism. You full black people, how could you be brainwashed by a pseudo-pastor like this?

[bshitter]

Think about it. You guys can go ahead and vote for Obama so that he will come out and extinguish all the White and other races.

[bshitter]

Wright is a racist to the extreme. He expresses deep hatred toward other races, especially white. He still talks about "chains" and "slavery". He does not serve the religion for the best of people but use religion to propagate his propaganda. What's different between him and al-qaied which uses religion to promote suicide bombing? Obama never heard Wright's deviant speech before? LIE! They have been together for 20 years.

[bettyttt]

Rev Wright -an idiot in his speech - but in all seriousness, did Wrights behavior just suddenly change. Obama sat there for 20 yrs! Obama appears to be a good man, but ready to lead this nation? 20 years for Obama to figure out this man is an instigater is scarey. Obama, his wife & children have been trained and taught by Wrights beliefs & the Obamas ALLOWED it. Obama must have believed Wrights words or he would have taken his family & left the church Life is full of choices.

[Digity26]

When I see someone like Wright sabotage another black person's political career...which is what he's doing by even talking...I really wonder whether the black community wants to advance as a group.

Maybe some love the self-loathing. Think about it, this guy lives off that. If black people weren't oppressed he wouldn't have the audience he has. Maybe it's a dumb comment I'm making, but I can't figure out why he wouldn't just keep quiet to help Obama out. Doesn't make sense...

[bettyttt]

I'm confused. Obama sat n Rev Wright's sanctuary each Sun listening to inflamatory sermons & now,just now, he has decided to denounce Wright. If it takes "20 years" for Obama to "figure out" the character of a person (yes I said 20 years)then we can only question his ability to make "daily" decisions and also question his ability to lead this nation.Obama had already placed Rev Wright on his religious adv comm. Also he brought his children to church to listen to Rev. Wright's sermons.

[Digity26]

I think all pastors that stand up on stage and preach are self-centered, egomaniacs. This guy doesn't know anymore about God than your average Joe. He's just deluded himself into thinking so.

Also, a very scummy thing to do to a friend...the black community will get nowhere with role models like Rev. Wright.

What a douche...proves to me all these "religious" types are self-deluded and conceited individuals.

[bshitter]

Agree with you. These guys do not work for God to promote love and forgiveness. These guys are full of hatred and seek to revenge in any opportunity.

[vebtube0826]

The Audacity of Hype

[imassah]

This is the worst case of black on black crime ever witnessed, and by that I am referring to the Wright against Obama

[GhaleonNow]

That's quite a crowd he had there. :P

[kahuna12341]

this man is a idiotic fool

[Bignastyman]

this israeli whore needs to sit down

[pauljason75]

It is so unfortunate that the REV doesn't have the brains to do the right thing and to lie low for a few months. HE COULD BE A BLOWHARD AFTER NOVEMBER BUT THE URGE TO HAVE HIS 5 MINUTES OF FAME WAS TOO GREAT. REV; TOO BAD IT IS GOING TO SET YOUR PEOPLE BACK 100 YEARS. This is not your moment you selfish ass!

[cjh8]

I think Wright is saying some worthy and truthful things here, but it's getting lost in his playfully arrogant sensibility amongst an audience that is inclined to agree with him. I think it's sad that people are simplifying him as a loon and no longer attempting to hear the root of his message and the aspects of it that they may very well agree with.

[shonester]

And....this guy is full of it. He calls Israel a "dirty word". Wright printed pro-Hamas literature in his magazine.

[shonester]

He's loving this. Getting his 15 minutes of fame.

What a shmuck. He's killing Obama's campaign. What a selfish man.

[motherspictures]

It certainly seems that he wants to kill obamas campaign. But today Obama put this guy down for good.  He said Wright doesn't really know him, and he admits that he doesn't know Wright. Obama is half white and Wright can't speak for him.

[srodriguez1981]

What no "yo momma" jokes? I thought that's where this guy was going this.

[MeninaEsperta]

I am definitely voting for Mccain, now more than ever.

Every time this Pastor opens his mouth, he makes me sick.

I am like Obama's grandmother, a "typical white person", and I don't like any of his racists comments about white Europeans.

This guy is a huge nut.

The more he talks the more voters Obama loses.

Vote McCain.

[ERGSEG]

Yeah, go ahead and vote for another Bush term. Failing economy, more dead Americans in Iraq, war with Iran.

[672reyalp]

this guy just fukn owned that red head bitch

[motherspictures]

what a smart ass this guy is, and he is just trying to worm his way out of things he said.

[cjh8]

he's not trying to worm out of anything..his words are precisely in line with what he's said before.

[loupremo]

we "live in the past" everytime we quote the constitution and celebrate the fourth of july.

[motherspictures]

the constitution applies to NOW. not the past.

[motherspictures]

loupremo

the constitution is the law of the land and it applies to now.

[BPB9973952]

It's a shame this man wants to keep his own race hating and living in the past, rather than moving forward, and looking for a better future

[sydgrimes]

they couldnt find a better lookin' girl to ask the questions? she gotta a real horseface.

this guy should run for public office, he speaks to ppl of all races, faiths

[westjuan]

another post from a right wing user, with no comments in favor of the pastor,

YOU SUCK!

[shockingtruths]

Somebody please, please, please hide the good Pastor's coffee pot!

I think Starbucks is the Rev's dirty little secret. Add too much coffee to scary bible stories and what do you get? "Hide the kids, it's uncle J".

I don't think he knows how self righteous he sounds, because if he does, he should recall that the devil's sin is vanity.

He needs to take his friggin time! Stop tweaking out and state your case, nice and easy.

[Schwarznasen]

Why does the Press Club provide this buffoon with a platform? He is a fucking twit. On the other hand, being Obama's spiritual advisor I'm sure the public is thirsting for more of his stirring and inspiring rhetoric. Jeremiah Wright and Barack Hussein Obama - the Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker of the Democratic Empire. Such fools.

[mamatomama9]

Why is this man still in the news? Its clear Obama does not hold his same views. But it did give me a better look at him and see that he is very educated. With a PHD I heard.

[edwardsandy13]

Question and answer session was a clown fest Rev. Wright wasted a good chance to bring healing and truth and I was totally ashamed of the clown show...

[cpennsr]

the truth hurts sometime

[SwissCross]

Question: "Some critics have said that your sermons are unpatriotic, how do you feel about america and about being an american?"

Wright :"I served 6 years in the military, does that make me patriotic?"

About as patriotic as Lee Harvy Oswald you clown!!!

[historywillabsolve]

this guy is pathetic, just pathetic.

[syphi2020]

Ericjaynelson I am a bit confused on your point.

I am not a fan of Rev Wright....but exactly when did he "espouse" racial hatred.

I think we are focusing on the tone of delivery rather than the content of his statement. "Farakkkhan" spews hate. I am a black man in deep south Texas. I am also a christian, and there is still segregation amongst those who call themselves christian. Aren't we one "family" in Christ. Let's get real here. Racism is a sick disease that must be cured....

[marsviii]

Wright did call Farrakhan "the greatest voice of the 20th and 21st century".

[gata718]

he said he was one of the most important voice to his particular movement not the greatest voice

[ericjaynelson]

This is so silly! I a black man and from my perspective most black churches do not use the pulpit (a sacred lectern) to espouse racial hatred. Most preachers preach salvation through Christ in order to nullify racism thus making the racist part of the family. To hear this guy try to justify his indefensible comments is silly and he's not going to help Obama's cause at all.

[boyprodegy]

The New White House Clergy!

[AnonymousBChurch]

boyprodegy: "The New White House Clergy!"

Not a chance! Reverend Wright made it clear, if Obama because President, than Obama is Target Number One for Reverend Wright, he said "I'll be coming after you."

Reverend Wright threw Obama under the bus when Obama decided to throw the poor and outcast under the bus to suck up to Wall Street. Reverend Wright stuck by his principles, the Bible, and Obama stuck by his, saying anything to get elected.
