Conspiracy Theory: Is Jeremiah Wright Trying To Torpedo Obama’s Campaign?

The Whistler • April 29, 2008

It sure seems that way given the amount of time Wright continues to spend in the limelight. The man has to know that he and his rather vicious rhetoric are kryptonite for Obama’s unity-themed campaign, yet again and again he grants interviews and addresses the public during a crucial time for Obama’s campaign.
I won’t accuse Wright of being stupid (crazy, maybe, but not stupid), so this has to be calculated. But what end might be served by Wright taking out Obama’s chance at the White House?
Well, think about it. What is Rev. Wright’s, and an entire generation of “civil rights” leaders’, bread and butter? Conflict between minority Americans and majority (white) Americans. The “us vs. them” mentality. As long as minorities think they’re members of an oppressed victim class they’ll flock to people like Rev. Wright, and Wright profits.
The same is true of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, etc.
But if Barack Obama – a member in good standing of Wright’s own flock – gets elected President of the United States it becomes increasingly difficult to sell the “we’re victims” mentality. And if Wright, Jackson, Sharpton, etc. can’t sell that, they’re out of a job.
Is this really Wright’s motivation? Nobody except Wright himself can know that, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that it’s fairly close to the mark.

Just to be Absolutely Clear – Jeremiah Wright, Pastor of Obama Emeritus is a racist bigot demagogue despotic black misleader

I don't want anyone to misunderstand my real feelings toward him. I'm not a big fan of this so called reverend. His reverendology credentials should be revoked.

This is NOT about left or right. Black or white.

There are people on both sides of the political and racial spectrum who tell the truth, are honest, straight forward and good apologists for the positions they have unlike despot (no more nice appellations for him) Jeremiah Wright who deserves NONE of our respect.

I watched the Moyers interview. I watched the National Press Club. I watched the NAACP speech on CSPAN.

This man is like Hitler. He tells big lies to gullible people. Like Moyers.

Yet, there are political people, African American Leaders, Religious Leaders and journalists who defend this demagogue.

I don't get it.

Oh, I understand a guy like Bill Moyers who is sucked in to the whole web of deceit a despot Wright will spew. Bill Moyers has the discernment gift of a Gnat. He has never met a despot he didn't love. Arafat comes to mind.

What is most disturbing is the Hitlerian way Despot Wright makes lies up, lies about events, creates fantastic conspiracy theories and then sells them to people who are not willing or able to do the examination of his lies for truth.

People Like Barack Obama.

That is most disturbing of all.

Jeremiah Wright is dangerous – to America, To Obama and to the culture of African Americans.

I have sat many many hours in many many African American Churches. I have Never heard ANYTHING at all Like what The long transcripts of sermons of Wright expounds. This supposed "Black Culture of Black Churches" is a bad excuse for just plain lying.

I think some of my black Pentecostal brothers need to go over to TRINITY and cast the devil out of Jeremiah Wright. I'll bet his head would spin around.

Maybe this is reciprocal backstabbing. Barack Obama backstabbed his friend Wright by disavowing knowledge and turning his back. Now it's Wright's turn to do the same to Obama.

I don't buy this as a Wright conspiracy… yet. Not when simple egotism and ignorance could explain his actions more elegantly.

You're right Gene, my pasty white self has been in black churches on occassion and the pastor taught Christ alone, not politics. Wright represents a small, bitter conclave of people.

boob: 1996 was not in this millennium, either! Do yo need a dictionary? Or a cranial enema? I think the old fashioned kind would work for you!

A simpler explanation is that Wright is doing what's best for Wright. Unless he's a complete moron, he's got to see "Obama in the White House" as a long shot. So, in the meantime, he works his stock and trade!

boob: (And I say that with the full meaning of the word!) The picture you posted from 1996 had noted Civil Rights protest marcher Charlton Heston in it!

Were you seeking to honor these men for their contribution to American Civil Rights?

Heston campaigned for Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in 1956 and John F. Kennedy in 1960. Reportedly when an Oklahoma movie theater premiering his movie El Cid was segregated, he joined a picket line outside in 1961. Heston makes no reference to this in his autobiography, but describes traveling to Oklahoma City to picket segregated restaurants, much to the chagrin of Allied Artists, the producers of El Cid. During the civil rights march held in Washington, D.C. in 1963, he accompanied Martin Luther King Jr. In later speeches, Heston said he helped the civil rights cause, "long before Hollywood found it fashionable.

Rev. Wright said that the media's attacks on his speeches were virtually attacks on the black church–he pulled the race card!

He's dividing Obama's philosophy of unity, it doesn't fit for it to be calculated to "help" Obama.

But, just like Obama, he's not apologizing for his remarks, but defending them, further distancing himself from reconciliation. The more he defends himself, the more he defines his "bitter" coterie.

Maybe they're both alike in that they just don't get why they should apologize–they are dangerous!

Speaking of the race card, do you get the feeling that folks like rbb are nostalgic for the days of Jim Crow and segregation?
What else explains their inability to cogently argue in the current debate and their mindless finger pointing at the past we've left behind?

Maybe we are looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Wright is the gift that just keeps on giving.

Can I make a contribution to his Church?

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this–this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."

Very much so. The way bob brings up the topic, it is as if he longs for the way his generation (the guy, despite his childish handle, is in his 50's) treated people. bob is always bringing up a past that people my age have never personally witnessed. That he attempts to lie about the present by superimposing the long ago past onto today makes one wonder just where his true intentions lie.

Whatever Wright is doing…. works for me!

Clearly, Rev Jeremiah GD America Wright is a BIG time divider. Obama's approach is all about "change" and "hope" supposedly. Having a Spiritual advisor such as Rev Wright contradicts any credibility Obama ever had in my mind. He sent his children to that church and sat in those pews for 20 years. What I wonder is, IS the Hope and Change for the Hope for USA taxpayers spare Change??? The Dems still considering Obama is ridiculous and just stupid!

Nah,

He's just an egomaniac.

But if Barack Obama – a member in good standing of Wright's own flock – gets elected President of the United States it becomes increasingly difficult to sell the "we're victims" mentality. And if Wright, Jackson, Sharpton, etc. can't sell that, they're out of a job.

And that should make you happy. Obama bridges the gap between yesterday and today. And he didn't have to turn his back on "the black community", that you guys keep talking so much about, to do it.

Obama bridges the gap between yesterday and today.

Okay, enough with the gag-inducing platitudes. And it wasn't the conservatives that had a problem or questions about Barry's "blackness."

rbb, what does that last picture have to do with anything? If I am not mistaken there are white people in that photo. Hurricanes like all weather don't discriminate!

Hannitized, You are truly delusional, IF you really believe Obama would be good in any way, shape or form for our country. He is bad enough for the Dem party to be affiliated with. Let alone as the head of our country. He is a divider not a uniter.

rbb is a WOOF wannabee! They both post irrelevant pictures in lieu of argument!

Rev Wright stated on TV yesterday that James Cone was an inspiration to his church. A single quote (like many, many others in his books) of James Cone: "The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the DESTRUCTION OF THE WHITE ENEMY." For over 20 years and with over $27,000 in donations, Barack Obama still belongs to The United Church of Christ Chicago (tucc.org). Cone's book is online at the Akiba Bookstore at the church website (1st on the list).
"Coneisms" exist all over the website. How can BO justify continuing membership in such a "church," unless he is in agreement with its core Cone principles?
