Thread Name: BS: Throw the Reverend from the Train
Subject: RE: BS: Throw the Reverend from the Train
Well, throwing Jeremiah from the train is perhaps too drastic and could make Obama look like yet "another politican"... Obama is caught in a bad situation but not of his doings...

The "lynch mob" mentality of the McMedia is driving this story... Sure, Jeremiah ain't helping much but he isn't hurting that much either... Better to get take a whuppin' now than later...

What the media and the Clinton's have effectively done is change the converstaion... Obama has done the dance-of-the-dieing-duck upon request but he isn't initiating this news cycle and nor is Jeremiah, who came into this with motives that have been misunderstood by the white dominated media... White people don't get Jeremiah Wright but they do get the white controlled media and the white Clintons who have effectively turned the race from "a man, who happens to be black, running for presiednt" to "a black man running for president"...

This had to happen somewhere along the line and someone like Jeremiah Wright was going to have to take some heat somewhere along the line... That's is the part of institutiional racism that most white folks both ***don't get*** and ***deny***...

("Well, Ralph, I guess I can live with that black guy as president but I think he needs a good whippin' before he takes the oath just to remind him who is really the boss here...)
