Clinton Backer "Organized" Wright's Press Club Event
Clinton Backer "Organized" Wright's Press Club Event

I found this headline at Huffingtonpost.com
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright couldn't have done more damage to Barack Obama's campaign if he had tried. And you have to wonder if that's just what one friend of Wright wanted.

Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds.

A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity. (She is an ordained minister).

It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club "who organized" the event - is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter. ...

5. Barbara Reynolds is also a long time admirer of Rev. Wright.
http://reynoldsworldnews.blogspot.com/

Pastor Jeremiah Wright is no weird, anti-American hater and separatist cult leader. He loved his country enough to serve in the U.S. Marines. His denomination, the United Church of Christ, is a 90 percent white denomination. As a pastor, Wright married the Obamas, baptized their children, and a Wright sermon provided the title of Obama’s best-selling book "The Audacity of Hope."
The Jeremiah I know is a sought-after preacher in seminaries across the country. I have traveled with him, introduced him at the National Press Club and use his tapes as teaching tools in my prophetic ministry classes at the Howard University School of Divinity, where he often preaches to adoring audiences.

11. I did. Then they went off and filed stories about how awful he is.
Perhaps they were cheering the bonuses they expected to receive in return for half-assed reporting they were getting ready to sell to the public as news. Aster all, they also laughed and clapped when Bush did his comedy act about looking for WMD under the furniture; seems a lot of people in the press club hold their own readers in contempt.

Same shit: exciting new flavor!
