Jeremiah Wright, meet James Earl Ray

hello. is this thing on?

In my mind, Obama'a former pastor and MLK's convicted murderer will go down in history the same way: as dream-killers.

A sniper shot King down in Memphis while he was rallying trash collectors for their civil rights. The self-righteous and opportunistic Rev. Wright shot down Barac's Presidential aspirations with his lengthy sideshow at a meeting of Detroit's NAACP faithful this Sunday night. CNN showed it live and replayed it over and over. In its entirety.

If not for Wright's presence there, that event wouldn't have drawn flies. Sadly, times and publicity-starved personalities conspired, once again, to sabotage a people's campaign.

Thanks, Rev. Anthony, for luring Jeremiah to Judas's pulpit.

Thanks, Rev. Wright, for making it easy for me to answer the question, "Why didn't Obama win" when my young, idealistic son inevitably asks.

You and your pitiful grab for the spotlight. 

What did your song and dance achieve, other than serving the oppositions' aims? What did you really have to get off your chest that couldn't wait?

What did your bombastic display of misplaced emotion do to uplift anyone but yourself?Worthy beliefs die tonight because you needed attention.

Satisfied?

Get over it!

Obama can't speak on the injustice done to the Jenna Six might offend potential white voters. Barrack can't speak to the injustice of the Sean Bell verdict without offending potential white voters. Alright there are others out there who can speak truth to power while Barrack tiptoes around the issues. But now you want his preacher to shut up, less he offends white people.
