Hillary backers here, you lie down with Hannity dogs, you get up with Faux News fleas.

We need to come together. I will fight for Hillary for Senate majority leader, if you will just take a deep breath. Rev. Wright was a U.S. Marine, and now is a retired minister. Dick Cheney - born the same year - had five deferments, and has led us to limitless death and destruction. Barack Obama is not the enemy. Cheney and his ilk are.

And Rev. Wright has a right to remind us that we are far from perfect. He remembers, as you know.

2. I love Reverend Wright. I wish he were the one running. He at least speaks the truth
or at least tries to. Obama should learn from him, instead of Reagan.

3. I've also read that he joined the Marines after being inspired by JFK's
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" speech. He dropped out of college to become a corpsman and serve. I admire the heck out of him.

I talked to my boss a bit (a good guy but RW, listens to Rush and so forth) about Wright when they were playing the sound-bytes and excoriating him on the radio...it took about three facts for my boss to agree it wasn't right how things were being played.

4. You know lately I have been wondering if the media is trying to
start a race war...the way they have gone after Obama lately seems very strange to me...all race, race, and race...what do you think the black people will feel if they keep this really wonderful man from the presidency...does anyone else feel this way..it really worries me..

5. God bless Rev Wright may he one day be recognised for his truth as MLK now is.

8. I just watched the interview with
Rev. Wright on Bill Moyers. I would strongly suggest that if you did not get a chance to see it, watch it when PBS puts it up. As my sister-in-law said, "the more the media tells me what a scandal all of this, the more I find myself agreeing with Wright."

Moyers is a real gift. And so, it seems to me, is Rev. Wright.

9. Wright is loved and respected and Cheney can't exist without an electronic heart beat.
'cause there is just no soul to be found in that body.

10. Ok, so he's caring and he's served his country selflessly. But does he wear a flag lapel pin?
:sarcasm:

11. I personally wear my heart on my sleeve. Because I am a Dem, I have one (heart, sleeves are easy).
