Rev. Wright: "Obama Camp Paid Me not to Preach"

« on: May 15, 2012, 04:19:20 pm »

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright seems to have not gotten over being tossed overboard in the 2008 race. Now he's claiming he was paid by the Obama campaign to not preach until November.

These stories appeared largely on American conservative news sites, but here are a few links.

Now, should this story be true, I'm not sure how this would play in the general election. I think it would be nil, but I'd thought it might be worth posting.

Not that I really care, but isn't the book in which this was alleged by the same guy who claimed that Chelsea Clinton was conceived by Bill raping Hillary?

Probably. I'm just reporting.

This reminds me of that Walker video. Even if it were true, it wouldn't per- or dissuade anyone from anything, and therefore doesn't matter.

Sometimes, reality has a corporatist-traditionalist bias. Sometimes it has a liberal bias.

At this rate, I'll lean left economically within a year or so Tongue

Only if you find nothing wrong with the content.

"Divide and conquer" is an old practice... it devastates enemy armies in the field and destroys democratic process.

No, Scott Walker isn't a Nazi, but he clearly offends liberal sensibilities.

So Jeremiah Wright went from being a crazy pastor to someone we can automatically believe? Nice re-positioning, righties.
