As Rev. Wright continues to debunk the false, misleading narrative of him by FOX news and other intellectual lazy journalists and pundits alike, I am struck by the willingness of many in the media to attempt to continue the charade. The fact of the matter is, they underestimated Rev. Wright's ability to fight back in such a way, as to make them all look like microbial parasites feeding on the common sense of an already ignorant electorate, while demonstrating his love of God, knowledge, and his country. Never before in the history of this country, has a man been deliberately mischaracterized by so many in the media for nefarious purposes, and have their narrative exposed as fraud at one fell swoop, creating a schism, . . . a disconnect if you will, between perceived reality and false narrative. In effect, leaving many to say to themselves, some folks in the media's got some splain'in to do.
In both the PBS interview and the CNN broadcast, there was not a hint of anything racist about the man or his legacy. Contrary to the caricature, he is in fact one of America's treasures having served his country and community. He should be viewed as an asset to the country, rather than a means by which some would use to character assassinate. A former marine and navy man, he served the country honorably, as demonstrated in his service on the medical team that operated on President Lyndon Johnson. Indeed, all fair minded people should be outraged that so many people in positions of responsibility were willfully complicit in this fraud. I could go on but, curtness is of the essence. The American people deserve better, and should demand such.

I must admit, I love the unfettered style of your posts.

Great post Jerome....the reason the media can get away with defaming a man like Reverend Wright is because no one ever calls them on it anymore....there was a time when there were government checks and balances in the news media but now with FAUX news, ABC, or even CNN... they can report the most malicious lies with the most nefarious agendas and no one calls them on it, or if someone dare say anything, say like Keith Obermann, that person's credibility gets personally attacked as being a partisan hack or 'hating the country'..a method the Nazi used to use with great success too....I think the larger problem is that the big media, TV, radio and increasingly our nation's newspapers are owned by 7 conglomerations...and as we've seen, unless you play the game that these corporations want you to play, your soon out on your ass and replaced with a with another of long line of willing hacks who have no integrity and will comply for a easy paycheck.....it's a sad a very scary situation for our country..
...I believe this is why viewer-ship to cable news and even network news has been on a steady decline for the last decade and why people are increasingly turning to alternative news sources on the web....for instance, just this week we've come to find not from the MSM which never reported it, that the Pentagon is using our own tax dollars to train and hire ex-military shills to act as 'independent' military analysts for the media conglomerates to pimp the surge, disguise the lack of success in Iraq and sow the seeds for future wars with North Korea, Iran and Syria.... despite all the Pre-war lies told about Saddam/Iraq ties to Al-Queda, about stockpiles of WMDs and a imminent threat, and yes even about 9/11 most people are still complacent....it's not only scary, it's treasonous....
....this is why I donate hours of my time here at Spurs Talk to get the story out to people that the media no longer reports...it's not about personally attacking McCain, or Hillary, or any other candidate....it's about getting to the truth...and I'm not perfect, I make mistakes sometimes too, but once you've read this forum for awhile you'll notice in the long-run that I am right far many times than I am wrong.....and who else who consistently sticks their neck out these days can say that?
Nbadan,
Thanks for the thoughtful post. Your posts are very insightful, as are a few others, that is why I come here (Spurstalk), to get info or a perspective I may miss. Keep the truth coming. Peace.
for those of you who missed it, here is the Reverend Wright's speech at the NAACP

NY Times busts Pentagon-scripted TV News interview...
I am watching it on CNN right now.
The guy is friggin captivating.
Yep, he is a real jewel. I know Obama loves him as much as you
do. I guess we should just make it part of our everyday sermons,
GD America. What a guy!
You're exactly the uneducated, unthinking audience that corporate media has been so successful in pedaling crap to, such as in this case.
Yeah, the video of him saying it is just a sham. Nothing to it.
Boy and you call me uneducated, unthinking. Just carry on in your
own little world, he didn't really say it, it was an optical illusion.
You never heard the context of the speech. You just heard the sound-bite and listened to the talking heads extrapolate away.
If you weren't so wrapped up in your flag-waving pseudo-patriotic crap, you would see that a real patriot tries to mend the flaws in his country. America is great, but only because of the thousands who continuously and tirelessly work to make it great. All this despite the efforts of the neo-cons to take away the very things that make us who we are.
My Me, are we getting upset? Flaws in our country. What
a jerk you are. What made this country what is was?
Not some stupid ninny like you or your group. It was
the principles laid down by our founding fathers. Not
some idiot of a minister calling for the damnation of
our country. That is not out of context stupid. It is
what it is, he said it and didn't qualify it.
The Rev. Wright talks like the blacks were the only
group that was ever discriminated against. Wrong.
Every group, including many white people, Irish,
Italians, many religious groups also. So get off your
high horse and face a little reality. Life is not fair and
there is no such thing as a level playing field. Life is
what you make it. Not some damn federal program.
Now you can call me a racist. Doesn't make is so, but
it will make you feel so much better. And in your
estimation that is what life is all about, feeling better.
Why talk about real problems like social security, etc when you can run off this mundane for 6 months....
Not like the masses care anyways.

ray, shouldn't you save your strength for that rapidly approaching interrogation at the gates? your thinking is fossilized.
You mean like Bush tried to do but was stopped by the
dimm-o-craps. It is crap, but not mundane, when a
person is running for President and supports this minister,
but throws his Grandmother under the bus.
Naw, will have my second wind by then. I have to keep you
young'ins in line, sometimes you get so far off the beaten
path. Have to remind you what made this country.
What part of my thinking is fossilized. Not believing Dan
Rather or not really hearing what the minister said. Or is
it that no other race has experienced racism?
I still believe in what made this country great and you
just wander around in a little world of "what ever it takes
to make you feel good". And we must have a level
playing field. Whatever the that means.
McFlopPander is close friend and 100% supporter of dubya and dubya's policies, plus seeks endorsements and spiritiual guidance from weirdo religious extremists.
Does the M$M rip and re-rip McFlopPander for it?
I think the Clinton's and Repugs are Swift-boating Obama by secretly prodding M$M to keep harping on Wright.
I agree. Let's keep Rev. Wright in the spotlight.
We have a right to know who Obama's best friends are, and what they teach, right?
I say let's give Wright a weekly show on national TV. Then we'll all be clear where he stands.
The media doesn't need to defame Rev. Wright. All you have to do is listen to his own words and judge for yourself.
Do we have a right to know who met with Bush and Cheney to formulate our energy policy?
xrayzebra,
What a pseudo code name for someone pretending to be patriotic. You are a caricature of all that pushbutton politics has become, the epitome of a dumbed down American electorate. Rev. Wright speaks from the historical perspective of a black man, not an Irish or Italian man. You assume he is not mindful of the history of other groups, in an earlier post. Why should he address that exactly?
Did you know that there are more white people on welfare and other social programs than blacks? Do you know what made the country great? The words in the cons ution alone? You are so limited, and I recognize that you are so tormented by your lack of cognitive skills, that you actually make poor Nash McCabe look like a Rhodes Scholar.
You have the audacity to post your incredibly stupid comments about something you were duped into believing to be true, and yet when the information is available for you to liberate yourself from your ignorance, your contentment to revel in a lifetime of ignorance overrides your sense of progression. What a dweeb. It's no wonder the world has been laughing their collective asses off at the utter stupidity of the American people. Idiots like you are the lowest common denominator who habitually bring this country down.
You are dismissed.
And so there you have it. I don't have to respond. He
did it all by himself.
How can you top what this great American has to say.
Go ez on xz.
He's not completely here, mentally.
God bless him.
Thank you boutons for the blessing. But, really, I don't
need it. Folks like you and your new found friend do.
Along with a little education and history. But again, thanks.
