1. What kind of action?

He's retired. I can't imagine what kind of action you mean.

[SunsetDreams]

2. He's retired! Leave the church alone!

On edit: posted in the wrong place, sorry Cats :)

[grassfed]

5. actions have consequences

Mobilize to discourage financial material support. After 8 years of pseudo fascism, killing, maiming and torture, the world can not ignore Wright's infantile, destructive egomania

[SunsetDreams]

10. oh waaaaaaaaaa

Did Rev. Wright say we should commit violence? Did he get up there on the mount and say go kill people?

No he didn't, he had Freedom of speech and spoke out against injustice!

The 1st ammendment protects his Freedom of Speech! You might have a point if he got up there and said, let's go beat the living day lights out of people, let's go kill for the sake of killing!

While I didn't like his question and answer session today, he still in no way incited, encouraged or approved of violence toward anyone!

[grassfed]

12. Yes he did, indirectly by sabotaging the best hope for international peace

and reconciliation between religions, races, all for his fatheaded smarmy egomania

[SunsetDreams]

18. no he didn't

You can HATE the man all you want, You can HATE what he said, You can READ INTO something he said that wasn't there, You can HATE the man so much that you want to punish the church he used to preach at,

BUT what you cannot do in this country is take away his freedom of speech which is protected by the 1st ammendment of the Constitution!

He did not incite violence, he has spoken out against it.

I see you attacking Hillary in this thread about nuking Iran.

Just who are you here for? If you are against both of them, maybe you shouldn't be on this board, ya think?

[grassfed]

19. I support Obama and realize the stakes, Hillary and McCain are heartless neocons

I don't hate Wright's message, don't think he's anti-American, and have questions about HIV and drugs in the inner city etc, but think it is unconscionable for him, an experienced public figure who knows the power of words, the importance of public perceptions, to sabotage Obama. He knows what he's doing.

[Leopolds Ghost]

27. Well then maybe they paid him off.

Wright comes across to me as an egotist and always did, though a
fascinating speaker. I used to tune in sometimes on TV when I got up
early in the morning and had nothing else to do before breakfast.

Objecting to his words requires consistency, as I repeatedly said
in the case of Don Imus.

I don't see that consistency on the part of his attackers.

When you attack a speaker for saying something, however vicious
or unpopular what he said might have been, your response is a
political act. Your silence when someone else says something worse
is a political act.

Where is that response? Why the silence at other comments by other
pastors? Do you let the media do your thinking for you? As Kerry
discovered, you need to MAKE the news.

31. Did you hear his NAACP speech?

[DerekJ]

3. Thanks. I will send him a letter of support.

[bhikkhu]

8. Me too.

[rodeodance]

4. ** ACTION-CAMERA-LIGHTS**

[jackson_dem]

6. Thank you. I will write to him to keep making the rounds

:thumbsup:

[grassfed]

7. Hillary can nuke Iran for you

[undeterred]

9. Give it a rest.

[SavageDem]

11. I, also, will write him...

...to thank him for his thoughtful discourse and refusal to knuckle under to small-minded thuggery and bullying.

[thevoiceofreason]

13. Yeah, we'd hate for them to continue helping feed the poor and hungry

In that area. Are you angry, or just confused?

[grassfed]

14. Wright stops Obama, Hillary nukes Iran

That solves hunger in Iran

[thevoiceofreason]

16. But Wright does not attend or preach at that church anymore.

Get it?

[Maddy McCall]

15. Huh?

I hope I can stay up late tonight...the threads get crazier as time goes by.

[IDemo]

17. Good idea

I wonder if I could convince him to go on a speaking tour? It would be great to see him in person.

[stillcool]

20. the bomb threats weren't enough?

the death threats weren't enough? Now you want to do what? Trash and bash some more?

[grassfed]

21. no violence ever

[quakerboy]

22. Yup. lets all of us who have never given money to the church

write in and threaten to cut off our financial ties?

Try again, and this time don't be such an idiot.

[mcctatas]

23. Should we start harassing other churches because of the

disapproval you feel for something a pastor who no longer works there said, or is this one special? Harrassing religious institutions is not part of any political system that I want to be a part of....

[nsd]

24. I think only TUCC's parishioners and the other pastors there have ...

... the clout to persuade Wright to knock it off. I'm sure that some of them, worried about the effect on Obama, are trying to get him to stop. Who knows if they'll succeed. The guy seems too narcissistic to listen.

[barack the house]

25. You have to have a vacant soul to attack a church. Even if atheist there is a chance he may exist.

[Leopolds Ghost]

26. This sounds like an incitement post.

Think about what "Here's the address of the church MLK spoke at last night. Take action." meant in the 60s -- when white people down south passed out fliers to that effect.

[grassfed]

29. Not meant that way of course

[EFerrari]

28. Edit: Wright doesn't work there any more.

[Exultant Democracy]

30. "I hope my MLK avatar stops people for calling me out as a racist"

anyone who thinks you should call some church that some guy doesn't even work at because it was his "black church" years ago is an ignorant bigot.
