We are such good little media consumers. They define Wright and we go

[rainy]

right along with it. Just note the sound bites they are already throwing out there. They always take it out of context. Always frame it. And we jump on it and eat our own when it is us, and the Wrights of the world who are telling the truth. They bully us into taking it back. The truth. Imagine that.

I was inspired by his speech. It was moving and right on.

The media do this all the time. Just remember what they did with the Paul Wellstone supporters and his funeral.

What a sham and what fools are we.

1. Its shocking that a Christian minister would actually preach the words of Jesus

And show how they actually apply to our daily lives.

[Klukie]

2. I was inspired as well...

I actually clapped at some points. They will never take my truth.

6. "They will never take my truth"

I like that. :thumbsup:

:applause:

[TBF]

3. I've been watching Wright's sermons on Youtube and I don't see anything scandolous - just the truth.

As I just wrote in another thread, the media is owned by Rupert Murdoch (thank you FCC). That should tell you all you need to know about the media.

4. Not all of us go along with it.

Those who do aren't listening to anything more than the sound bites offered up by the MSM.

[bdamomma]

5. isn't there any else to focus on???

oh, that's right the media cannot chew gum and walk at the same time. pathetic.

7. Just another reason why I am beginning to think the US is unsalvagable

Free California!

8. Agnes the Blunt, that 82-year-old Canadian,

informs me that she has been listening to the assassination of the Rev. Wright's character, and is quite convinced that the only thing that she can see is that the Rev. made the mistake of telling the truth.

9. The interview w/ Moyers told me all I needed to know.

Clear to see why Wright is an inspiration to many. I guess I don't get it - since Wright is running for no office, what's he deal. All I can see, is the whorporate media is 'Deaning' Obama through Wright.

There has been much conversation, among the pundits, of how Obama has run a smart campaign, how he hasn't stumbled or done anything stoopid. So it order to destroy what the whorporate media has built up, they have to find something, anything w/ which to give Clinton the boost she now very desperately needs.

When do we get to know ALL about Clinton's minister? mclame's?

[Beam Me Up]

10. Not me. I stopped watching TV years ago. Screw them and their lies and

distortions. That is all I expect from them -- why subject myself to their propaganda and advertising?

[Life Long Dem]

11. Bullshit we do do, no offense. Everyone was inspired by the speech,

- I agree - except the monsters at MSM don't see it that way. kick and recommend

[malaise]

12. We who?

Nothing Wright said bothered me except all the religious business.

[Karenina]

15. Even the religious business doesn't bother me

anymore than Pope JP2's did. I LOVED HIM!!! He'd come up with the CC nonsense and my non-Christian self said :shrug: Whaddya expect?
He's the fucking POPE. Whatever. There was just something about his human spirit that resonated.

All I've seen of Rev. Wright informs me that he is a sincere, well-educated, diligent, dedicated truth-teller who wishes no one harm. What's NOT TO LIKE??? :shrug:

13. They know the buzzwords that will stop us in our tracks.

They know that any out-of-context sound bite that sounds anything less than reverent of the nation or its flag will enrage us chattering monkeys. We'll sell each other into bondage, misery and death as long as we retain the symbols of what we thought we had.

When the brownshirts march again, they will be wearing flag lapels.

14. Thanks for replying everyone. I had to post and run as I forgot I had to pick

something up before 3:00.
Nice posts!
