I watched part of the Reverend Wright press conference yesterday and felt ill. My first reaction was visceral; I wondered if the Reverend was being a shill for Hillary, and sticking knives into Obama’s campaign.
The Honorable Reverend is far from being a stupid or uneducated man. Therefore I presume that he knows exactly what he’s doing and saying. As such I am saddened for him, his former congregation, the Christian Church at large, and I presume his soon-to-be former parishioner Barrack Obama.
Language has been the way the Reverend has supported himself for the last thirty some years and language is how he got his 10,000 square foot home in Tinley Park IL-a very nice place-and his 10 million dollar gift from his former church. He is a master of language. Here are a few of the verbal pictures he painted:
Obama is a lying politician.
Anybody who disagrees with the Reverend or Obama or the reverend’s mother is attacking the black church.
We live in a terrorist nation.
Anybody who disagrees with the Reverend or Obama or the reverend’s mother is stupid.
The government unleashed Aids on black America.
There were many others he let loose, but the all seem to have the same root of his internal discontent.
The reverend has hurt his parishioner-Obama, the Christian church at large, and his party. At the press conference yesterday he continually asked if people had heard the entirety of the various sermons that he claimed where cherry picked for “sound bites.”
Unfortunately, the Reverend pulled all of those sermons off of the churches internet server so we can’t listen to them now. How convenient.
