Rev. Wright book tour is a LIE!!!!!

[angee_is_mad]

I'm just coming on and hope this has not been posted yet. Roland Martin spoke with Rev. Wright's daughter and she said her father is not writing a book. In fact the only book he has been working on is a book on the history of Trinity Church and it isn't completed yet.

Seems there is a lot of monkey business going on to stir up mischief. Check out this link and check out the Afrosphere for a different perspective to political issues that concern us.

1. Thanks. I had wondered if that was true. That departed poster

certainly did like to stir up stuff.

2. It was a published article

but it is false. Shame on NYT!!!

5. I finally cancelled my NYT subscription a while back. They're

pretty much just awful these days.

I live in Denver and both the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News are owned by a right wing nut. So we got the NYT instead.

I let the NYT know exactly why I cancelled our subscription, both on the phone and in email. They really should be ashamed. You'd think it would sink in that they're doing something wrong when circulation and profits are both down.

6. MSM picked it up

without any confirmation from the man who was suppose to go on tour.

8. What the hell do these so-called reporters get paid for anymore?

Just quoting somebody else without checking? FFS!

Sad part is, without the internet we'd never know. Doesn't it make you wonder about all the stuff we thought we knew before the internet?

11. NYT Or New York Magazine?

I thought it was the latter?

3. There was a rumor that he had a speaking tour during the first week of June, too...

right before the last primaries. It never happened.

4. Republicans are evil and their power far reaching with rumor and innuedo being their primary weapon.

9. Now that's kind of funny. We should keep it to ourselves, heh heh.nt

10. Making them last to know makes it twice as funny.

12. That's right set the record straight.
