[...] his sermons, particularly those critical of the Iraq war. But Wright's recent comment about "them Jews" made me rather uncomfortable.  When asked about his current relationship with the president, he [...]

hypothetically indeed "them jews" are insulating obama from speaking to anyone who disagrees with "them jews"?

have you checked out those surrounding obama?

does anyone believe that obama somehow overcame racism with his personal charisma and reached the pinnacle of power on his own???

Seriously? If it's true that Rev. Wright said these things then I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry that as a Clergyman he feels this type of rhetoric is God-like, peaceful and right. He needs to look inward and worry about his mind and soul - does he speak from love? Does he speak from a desire to bring people together, to respectfully dialogue and disagree or is he speaking from hate and jealousy, ego and pride.

Alzheimer's??? One could almost hope. Not being very smart but he can exercise his freedom of speech. I am so tired of hate and anger from everyone.

Sorry Dems, but there's no moral equivalency here between Rev. Wright and Limbaugh, Cheney, Hannity, etc. Rev. Wright expressly speaks racism in stark terms. Limbaugh, Cheney, etc. simply strongly disagree with BHO's policy prescriptions. Yes, there is a difference in the two forms of speech, although many of you seem to believe that any opposition to BHO is inherently rascist.

Jesus Christ. Wait, isn't he the root of all these problems?

I am a Democrat but I don't like some of Obama's actions:

He ignores his extremely poor brothers and sisters; his illegal immigrant aunt;

after all HE IS A POLITICIAN and he can throw anybody under the bus.

Nice grammar, Pastor. Nice racism, Pastor. Time to extricate your head from your posterior and join reality. With people like you in the pulpit, it's no wonder we have weirdo, religious nuts in this country spewing their crap.

This is the problem with the world. "Your entitled to your opinion". It's not an opinion that the Army was exposing black soldiers to syphilis in the Tuskegee Experiments, where they brought it home to their wives and children. That's not an opinion. Just like it's not an opinion that the 95% of the wealth is in less than 5% of population, and of that 5% most of them are Jewish Families. It's not an opinion, that we are propping up a Police State military dictatorship for our "Allies" in Israel, and it's not a opinion, that the international banking cartels and the military industrial complex which is taking this country into hardcore tyranny, by way of Authoritatrian Socialism, are using the Cloven Piven method. It's not opinion if a dog is mauling your arm. " Oh I'm just a rascist or whatever key word you can use to co-opt social engineers, predictive programming.

This man IS a RACIST and I don't think he's worth being called "Reverend"

If every black voter was like Wright then Obama would have lost in a landslide. He's a jealous old man...mad because he is no longer the center of attention of the black community

PLEASE GO AWAY... you embarass people of african descent. you are way too polarizing. There are no "thems'. We are all one human race!

Wow really? So now he's an anti-Semite? This guy just wants attention.

It doesn't matter what that pastor says...surely no one with any intellect listens to him. He is filled with hate.

This is the problem with the world. "Your entitled to your opinion".

It's not opinion if a dog is mauling your arm. " Oh your just a rascist or whatever key word you can use to co-opt your master's predictive programming.

Wright is right. President Obama is a politician and he is playing the political game with us, his own voters. President Obama said he is going to improve the economy ASAP, but only 5% of the stimulus money has gone in the market. Why the government is still holding the 95% of the money? People are losing jobs every day. People need to get back to work. I made a mistake for voting for you, but it won’t happen again.

I am a big Obama backer! I think he's doing a good job despite the what others might say.
If Rev. Wright feels that way well (he's no different from any other American using his 1st Amendment rights)
Sometimes it is what it is!

What an idiot Wright makes Jesse Jackson look like the
great white hope. Should change his name to WRONG.
Racist ,and I quote the article "SPADE"
Hope this goes on line or can only he callout Spade.

Rev. Wright needs to go away for a long long time. President Obama has too many serious issues to address – he does not have the time to engage in any of Rev. Wright's hate conversations.

It is no wonder Obama doesn't talk to him. Just read his remarks. Wright sure sounds like a racist based on his remarks.

the fact is america has been very hard on black people up until about 20 yrs ago. when i heard rev. wright's sermon i didnt think it was crazy. everybody was telling me "you have to hear what he said, its nuts" i watched it and it turned out that i didnt think it was far fetched at all!! blacks were treated like animals for GENERATIONS!! they were raped and killed and used as free work for hundreds of yrs and white america is insulted by what this guy said? are we really that ignorant? is it really that insulting?? however the man is pretty pathetic in this article comparing obama to one of his kids. thats just plain ignorance. but what do you expect. monotheism is all about worshipping and obediance regardless of proof. this guy is a reverand. he thinks he is the head of his community. he thinks he has a hand to GOD! a mythical creature in the clouds!! he thinks he deserves something from obama i guess. religion is truly poisoness.

Religious Fanatacism – can't beat it for craziness! This man (like many other loonies) should never be heard from again!

If it's true what he said about 'them Jews', then I can't hold with that. Rev. Wright, please don't embarrass your President, your so-called 'friend', any longer.

We in the Black community need new leaders. People like this, like Jesse Jackleg, like Rappin' Al Sharpton make progressive African-Americans like me cringe. In embarrassment.

Yup, its the jews and has nothing to do with the fact you're a raving lunatic who did his best to derail President Obama's campaign.

oh come on people. not all christians are this stupid.

oh wait. nevermind.

Rev. Wright and Rush Limbaugh have something in common.
Neither one is a credit to their race.

Right now, I am fearful for my country. Not because of Rev. Wright (what the heck can he do) but I am afraid that the Conservatives fear-mongering and race baiting is causing white supermacists in the country over the edge. Jewish people aren't afraid of an idiot like Rev. Wright but many people are afraid of all the race-baiting that is going on in the Republican party today. Their political leaders pretend to like the Jewish community however, some of their followers are racists against blacks and Jews (especially those in red states). Let's not kid ourselves. White Supremacists are NOT voting for the Democrats (and definately not for President Obama), they tend to be right-wing nuts (conservatives).

one word to this has been pastor..even though i hesitate to call him a pastor....joke....

Obama's still talking to him; this is a political stunt; aimed at showing Obama trying to distanct himself from radicals....Just like his recent use of Jesus at ND...and other speeches; claims he's a Christian but then supports abortion and gay rights....what a flim-flam!

Lol,here we go again.Can't some folks just learn to keep their thoughts to them selfs?Between the repubs and his old paster it seems that Mr.Oboma gets no breaks in the media now days.Can we give the man some room to work.We can vote him back in or out on how he does but intil then,give the man a break.I not to pleased with his job so far on some issues but on others i do agree and when the time comes i will grade his job pass-or-fail in the voting both as well as all americans that care to vote as well.Hence we are a democratic country and proud of that.

When JFK became President, he cut off ties with Frank Sinatra, because Sinatra was linked to the Mafia. Did the Jews cause that too?

man get over yourself, are you really all that you claim, is it about you, my entire family voted for him none of us has received a thank you call

The good reverend is off his rocker. He had some points to make at one point, but, lately, he seems to be all about ego and lots and lots of nutty conspiracy stuff. I hope he gets better soon.

Like my 90 year old mother says, with friends like him, who needs enemas?

Well, Dems aren't perfect and unfortunately, we have to put up with egomaniacs like Wright. What a stupid thing to say! How disappointing! I was cutting him some slack for some of the previous things he's said; now, I just think he's another idiot with a microphone.

Too bad this guy is back in the news. I thought we were rid of him.

THIS MAN is THE False Prophet........NOT Obama

Wright and Limbaugh...plain as black & white...both racists with divide and conquer agendas...these people fear someone like our President who is bringing us together as a nation....

I wonder why this guy has so much to say? There must be something in the water he drinks! I only hope he show the appropiate respect to the president as he would want people to respect him.

Such a Godly man...I'm so proud.

For those who wonder what's wrong with saying "them Jews", it's simple: their religion has nothing to do with what he's saying. If he said, "Those Chevy-driving men won't let me see him!" wouldn't you think to yourself, "That's odd, I wonder why he brought Chevrolet into it and said it in a derogatory fashion - that has nothing to do with it." It's the same thing, only worse because Chevy drivers are not typically discriminated against and persecuted the ways Jews have been!

Crazy people don't really "talk" to anyone anyway.

You know .. I never had anything against this man ... Jeremiah Wright, but lately he is annoying me. He knows he is being use by the media and yet he falls for it eveytime .......

He will always be a thorn in Obama's flesh.

Some ask why Obama was a part of this church. I think it was probably more a matter of Obama seeking a connection with the black community, than his personal connection with Mr. Wright. Rev. Wright is very similar to a lot of preachers of the same ilk. It's a whole shtick they have, and it works. Of course, outsiders would think the guy is nuts. It's all a show though.

So far, I am happy with Obama's conduct. I think he probably spent some years as a youthful zealot, but so did a lot of people, including myself. As he got older, he chilled out a bit and became the pragmatic centrist he is now proving to be. Obama is shaping up to be a good President.

I don't know who Wright is talking about ... but three cheers for "them Jews" who are keeping him away from Obama.

this is irrelevant. just like Rush and Hannity are irrelevant. They spew off falsehoods and negativity.

Someone please lock him up with Limbaugh. These people are dangerous and should not be allow in public.

Obama had to have heard this man espouse his views over the past 20 years, whether in church or in a more private setting. Of course, come election time, he made every effort to distance himself from Rev Wright's views.

Obama is a free man; he doesn't want to talk to you. You sabotaged your opportunity with your BIG mouth. Now, go away and SHUT the he*l up!

See, the problem here is that Republicans absorb everything their preachers say like a sponge, so they assume more rational and open-minded people like Obama do the same. If you've never disagreed with something your pastor says, then you're really not getting anything out of it other than solidifying your own biases.

Wright is all about Wright. Limbaugh is all about Limbaugh. Cheney is all about Cheney. Jackson is all about Jackson. Palin is all about Palin.

There is much work to be done to get this country back on track. We cannot afford to focus on men and women who are only promoting division and hatred. President Obama and his administration are working to get us moving in the right direction. Not everyone will agree with the way it's being done, that's to be expected. But, turnaround is in progress, thanks to the efforts of the men and women who do what they're elected/appointed to do. Let's get behind them and encourage/support them.

Obama says he never knew you, depart.

I truly believe my president is smart enough to not want to talk to Rev. Wright.

When will the Obama 'Sheep' in this country wake up?

If this guy was such an “associate” of the Presidents’, like the wing-nutts tried to imply before the election, how come he is persona non grata now that President Obama is in power?

Another radical wing-nutt theory disproved; AGAIN. Who really cares what this man thinks.

Right.... they went back 5, 7 10 years to find his racist remarks.

Or, they could have just waited for today's headline.

THIS was our president’s mentor. Nuff said.

whats wrong with "them jews"? isnt Rahm a jew? isnt axelrod a jew? if the shoe fits, wear it.

Obama must be an idiot. He sat and listened to anti-American hate for 20 years and never once left or condemned Wright.

Everytime I have seen Wright he appears to be a straight up nutcase.

For those of you don't hear Hannity or Rush or Bill O' don't use hateful language, how many times have you heard them speaking against the Muslim religion? Since "Jew" is in reference to a religion, not a race, it is not racism. I am not saying what Wright said is good or correct, but to say hate is not spread by Fox News is just plain ignorant. Just as ignorant as Rev. Wright.

religion breeds the dumbest ideas

So he has a thing against the Jews, so what? When I hear about the racist white hillbilly rubes spouting racist epithets against Arabs and muslims, then Jeremiah pales in comparison. Everyone has someone to hate, whether it's jews, blacks, arabs, latinos, gays, whites, etc. If you can truly say you cast no aspersions on any group whatsoever, then you can say you are not a racist. Jeremiah is a black Limbaugh, nothing more, and this article should not even be news.

How can any Jew still consider themself a Democrat? Can't you tell who your real enemies are?

Reverend Wright should join the President on the "apology tour"...he'd make a great warm up act!

rain rain go away come again another day(8years) after...

When Wright spouts his stupidity, the Republicans scream about it. When Lush spouts his stupidity, the Republicans look at it as gospel. In actuality, there is no difference between the two. Both Rush and Wright have their own skewed view of the world based not on fact, but on personal opinion.

Jews do have an inordinate amount of political,economic, and media clout considering their population percentage. Just as women and minorities are under-represented in government, and higher levels of management in corporate america. That's not anti-anything, it is the truth.

BO didn't disown this guy until he became a liability during the election. If I am attending a church and I find the pastor to be too radical or too liberal, I go to another church, and I don't wait 20 years to do it. But then again, BO is the guy who spent 700 Billion and then tells congress they can't spend anything without having the money for it.

YYYYES Rev. Wright is telling the truth. He has always told the truth about this country and the crap that goes on to people of color, he hasn't said anything wrong that the average black person knows that goes on. So speak your mind Rev. Wright. When the white guy speaks his mind, it's ok but let a person of color speak out, the country and the media goes crazy and call them hate mongers or their Anti-American. PLEASE, you go Rev. Wright.

Obama's pastor or spirtual advisor surfaces again. Wow! Just more hate speech from the left. Go figure....

The old man is delusional – he thinks he's relevant. His true colors came out and they aren't pretty.

He's a hate-monger just like Limbaugh and Palin. Hate is hate, and it's against everything not exactly like them – for all three.

I see all the leaches in society love him..

Fellows, lets not generalise or politicised this issue. Rev. Wright is only speaking for himself and it should not give any body the opportunity to rain insults on anybody, espectially an ordained man of God. He is still a man just like we all are, and we all make mistakes.

He is referring to Axelrod and Rahm and not the Israel.

You are all idiots. The Jew he is referring to is Rahm Emanuel, chief of staff for President Obama. I think this is much less a racial epithet (although the choice of using Jew in the plural may be a Freudian slip) than frustration that Rahm is doing a good job driving a wedge between the two of them. If this pisses off Reverend Wright, then so be it. I really don't give a rat's *** what he thinks.

Well, at this point his entire congregation will want nothing to do with him.

These religious leaders are all pretty much the same, whatever contrived organization they choose to join and "lead". Why bother with peddlers of supernatural nonsense anyway? And why reference ANY of these guys as "reverend"? It gives their ranting more credence with a certain segment of a gullible population.

Obamas buddy of 20 years...

Look for Barack at your sermon on Sunday morning, November 13, 2011. This will be 5 days after he loses his current job.

It's always about the ego. This man of God was insulted so he'll steal the spotlight wherever he can. Demagogue in the name of God. Let's hear it for the agnostics.

Oh give it up people. How many questionable associations do you guys have? Let alone those in positions of power?

Wright is a man haunted by ghosts of the past And not too distant past, either. Please keep in mind that just 50 years ago, a black man was rather likely to be lynched, beaten, jailed etc just for being black. Also keep in mind that some of those that were responsible for such acts are alive and well today, but also "inspiring" their offspring in like manners.

I don't agree with what Wright said, but you cannot deny that as a victim (ooops, there's that word you guys hate so much) of racism, it is understandable that he harbors some resentment. As a rape victim would agains the rapist, as the jewish community has towards germans.

I have to say i like this guy. Not because he is way out in left field, but at least he tells the truth on what he is thinking! Hard to find people who tell the truth today....Obama is on of them.

It ain't just the Jews brother! Nobody wants to talk to you.
FIGURE IT OUT........

You people on here are really pathetic. If you listen to anything that the Rev. said, from an intellectual and academic level is correct. Name one falsehood he has uttered. PLEASE!!!!

Unfortunately, American has a hard time seeing the ill and hatred of it's past and present. The Rev. is simply a bi-product of the Racism in America. Stop being so small minded people. Think beyond yourselves.

A white supremacist, of the republican persuasion, today shot to kill innocent people. Yes ladies and gentleman, there are racists in this country. Get rid of YOURS before pointing out others.

Mr. Wright (I refuse to call him Reverand, because he's devil spawn in my bood) has a right to his belief. Just like you republicans have a right to be white supremacists. That doesn't mean the rest of us who voted for Obama are going to tolerate your kind any more.

Deal with it, just don't shoot anyone because of it!

Obama listened to 20 years of this and said nothing. There's a profile in courage.

Rev Wright screamed from the Pulpit: God "D" America!!

and then we elected Barack Obama.

I think Rev Wright knows more than anyone is giving him credit!

How in the world are you going to talk with anybody who claims he's a man of god and yet referrs to "them Jews." I feel sorry for his baby daughter who has no choice but to listen to her dad. If I was the president, I wouldn't waste a second speaking with this man!

White or Black, who cares. Just another nutcase...

Finally, someone speaks truth to power. I'd vote for the Rev. Wright if I could.

Reverent Wright is delusional. he thinks that he can say and do anything he wants. He doesn't care if his words are harmful or not.

If he cared anything about President Obama he would learn how to restrain himself and keep his mouth shut.

After hearing what the right wingers do to people they don't like, kind of makes this story pale in comparison, huh?

The only reason GOPers think it's valid to assume Obama 100% internalized every word this dope said over a 20 year period is because that's what they do with what they're told by GOP and church leadership.

The Republicans should be proud that they DO allow Limbaugh to talk with their leader. WAIT, Limbaugh is the leader.

This is a jealous man who just want to be heard and I dont want to hear hate speak from anyone. Today is just not the day to hear hate speak. Not after what has happened at the holocust museum today. It just incite people to do the unthinkable and bring out the hate groups with more senseless violence and killings.

Dude you need to really shut your pie hole.

The reason why he won't talk to you is this news clip right here.

You're a mouth sore that won't go away Rev. Wright.

Be like a child who is obedient; been seen and not heard.

Better still, quit trying to play the victim and learn that you are an embarrassment to even African Americans like myself and others.

Dude just go away!!

This is one of the things which make us a proud democratic nation -Freedom of speech. If the former vice -president can literal terrorise & torture people and go on the news netwarks to boast about how successful he has been at it, what can we make of this in a country which is fighting terror & torture?

If Rev. Wright can literally curse America to hell and gets away with it as a free American, what can we make of this in a country which curses the axis of evil to hell?

Long Live Democracy!!! Long Live Freedom of Speech!!!!

Give it Up for both!!!!!

And the Chickens have come home to roost...............

I voted for Pres. Obama. That said-I still can't believe that Pres. Obama & Michelle attended his church & listened to his so called sermons for so many years. I'm starting to believe they heard what they wanted to hear & agreed with him or they would have left a long time ago. So sad.

Some with a brain tried and tried during the shame of the Democratic nomination process to say out loud that Wright was a racist. CNN and other MSM would hear nothing of it. Must have been that Obama told them Wright was 'off limits'......well, once a racist always a racist – and Wright is the top of the list of all that is wrong!!!!!!! Obama only dropped Wright when it was clear it would have a negative impact on the nomination process for Obama to win. It wasn't because he didn't agree with Wright – it was all political!

This guy is a total idiot. What an embarrassment he has to be to his family and former parishoners.
The seminary that granted him his credentials should demand them back!

once again cnn you did not post my comment for telling the truth. ATLEAST THE REV. IS NOT OUT THERE KILLING FOLKS.

OMG the dead has arisen, Obama chose not to talk to you becasue you are a self serving pig!!!! This is not your time to shine bro, go have a seat please!!!! You are the Sarah Palin version for Democrates. Sit down and read some scriptures please!!!!!

No one ever said that pastors don't have egos. Some are bigger than others.

this man is a ant-semitic pig. period.

Huh? Jews won't let him speak to President Obama? What does that even mean?

All of us know someone who is racist, there is no way around it, but does that make you racist too? Stating that Pres. Obama is racist because Wacko Wright is a one is totally out of line, he is half white too you know, get over it, we have a Democrate in the White House. Republicans had their shot and they blew it, so let's focus on the important things and not gossip such as this, and another thing, why do people give someone like Wright a chance to continue talking his nonsense, go away man, your giving us African-Americans a bad name.

It is clear the man craves the spotlight. He has become a bad dream.

Wow...just like all the hate spewing evangelicals out there this man is a terrible symbol for christians.

Christmas came early for the shills at the Fox News Channel. The big difference is that Wright does not speak for the Obama administration or the Democratic Party. Can Republicans and the legion of inbred Dittoheads say the same about Limbaugh's racist outbursts?

I don't hear fox news or Rush making slurs against black people or jews but I do hear Rev Wright making slurs about jews the same pastor Obama went to but its okay Israel will never bow to the lib and dem clowns messiah

This just proves that Obama is not only Muslim...but he's Jewish too!
Let's get that muslim-jew out of office NOW!

The White House told Wright he can speak directly with the President at noon on January 20, 2013. In the meantime, Wright can write the President a letter that WILL be reviewed by the White House staff.

The FACT is.... this says MORE about Obama than Rev Wright.

I think everyone (with 2 brain cells) believes Wright is and has been a bigot... and included such views in his sermons.

Wright has not changed.

Obama is the one who sat for 20 years... and then when politically expedient "disowned" his pastor.

Sorry – I don't blame the fool behind the pulpit. I blame the fools sitting (voluntarily) in the pews for 20 years!

I love seeing the Obama apologists come out to defend their boy and to blame it all on Limbaugh or Cheney.

I never knew Rush, Hannity, Beck or any other republican to be anti semitic. Never heard Rush, Hannity, Beck or any other old white guy say as many racist things as Rev. Wright, Senator Byrd, Rev Jesse, President Carter etc. Amazing that no matter what the story it is the republicans fault. I guess Rush is the new Bush. Hey that's pretty easy you only had to change one letter, that makes it easy for all the liberals not just the elites. You can change all your we hate Bush signs with a single pen stroke. Can't wait for the blame Rush for everything campaign whenever Obama makes a mistake.
Btw, what is the statute of limitations on blaming the ex-president for things happening today- another month, next year, when will this be Obama's economy, Obama's unemployment , Obama's mess, Oh yeah Obama's Pastor?

Unfortunately the president sees his job as a steppingstone.

Obamas buddy, two peas in a pod.......

The Good Reverend has his right to his point of View, what makes it so inflammatory is that is is being heard outside the pulpit. His tirade is no different from the ones I have heard bashing Gays and Arabs, and Black, and many others all in the name of the WORD. And none of these points of view ever made it to CNN , look The religious left or Right have their own agendas, and it may or may not have any bearing on the point of view of an associate. I attended a Church, a Mosque, A synagogue and a Temple in my communities for years, and in each I have heard very shocking things it is Rhetoric and until it becomes Truly incendiary and incites folks to violence he is protected by Freedom of speech and expression.

We all know now that Racism has not color it hates just as evenly as it is irrational. The thing we need to do is filter the hate out
till it becomes weak and insubstantial.

Obama listened to this man for 20 years and claims he never heard him. Notice the dope smokers are making the moral equivalancy case saying Limbaugh is the same as Wright. Put down the bongs libs, and remember he was Obama's spiritual and moral leader for over 20 years. That is why this country is going to pot literally and figuratively.

It's incredible how racists feed off racism. The racists use Wright's racism to fuel their racism towards Obama, and round and round they go. They love the anger and the hate. Feed off it conservatives and continue to lose elections. The majority of America is above that. OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!

Hey Rev. Wright has something in commom with James Von Brunn...who knew?

Isn't it just wonderful that Barak and Michelle found it to be of the upmost importaince that their young daughters hear and learn the message from Rev. Wright and the Trinity Church?

Surely a man who wants the minds of his 10 and 8 year old children to be molded by Rev. Wright is someone we can count on to be fair to all Americans and to want to unite our nation rather than divide us up in any way he can.

Rev. Wright's words are just oh so progressive and tolerant, unlike racist talk from the right like say Trent Lott's vile hate speech of "Happy Birthday".

I like the way he said !!! Thanks Wright. You got my vote .

Does this really surprise anyone? Oh except the Blind Sheep (democrats) that are really living in an alternative world. Obama attended a racist church and only got away with it because the country is so aftraid of calling anyone out that is Black......Sorry that is the truth....And I am sure all the democrats on her will call me racist, sorry Im not at all , I love all people , but this country is so backwards right now and so worried about being Politically correct that they fail to see the biogitry in in Mr. Wrights words and deeds.

I use to sit in a church for years just like Obama did and listen to man made speeches and racial slurrs. But I as a person didnt agree on a lot of things my Pastor taught because in my heart I knew it was not in the Bible nor was it of Gods love., Being an African American, blacks would sit for years in their church hearing this kind of trashy talk just because it is a black church and there may be no other black church recognizable around. I believe Obama like this Pastor Wright for not what he preached but because Pastor Wright treated him with respect and did love him as a son. But Pastor Wright you are not REPECTING YOUR SONS WISHES NOW! If Pastor Wright really loves Obama like he says he do. Then he must leave him alone and just be happy for him now. And he as a Pastor must keep his racial comments tohimself.

This pastor said the right things that nobody knew. They were so true!

Rev. Wright is LOCO on this issue. As an African American Christian, I do not believe that God separates us into racial , ethnic. or socio-economic groups . In fact the bible says he is not a respector of persons.

Rev. Wright of Chicago from the black community, Jew hater; ...hmmm....Louis Farrakhan of Chicago from the black community, Jew hater;....hmmm.... Barack Hussein Obama of Chicago from an inter-racial community and a want-a-be Muslim buddy; ....hmmm.... Israel , we may have a problem here.

Rev Wright is a racist and an antisemite and an embarrassment to this country and to President Obama. I cannot explain why President Obama stayed in that church and I do believe it says something about President Obama's lack of character and lack of courage. Pathetic. Simply pathetic.

I know it's hard for a lot of people to believe or wrap their heads around, but there is plenty of bigotry left to go around in this country. And unfortunately, no one can shut up this guy or any of the other ignorant "thought leaders" in this country, none of whom are in any position to make real change. They just complain and cause more problems, making no progress toward compromise and fixing probems. If Obama goes back to this guy or his church, he's less of a man than I think he is.

It just goes to show, quite frankly, that not every brother is a brother. I was simultaneously proud and angry with Obama for not disowning this person outright. Obama did the "Christian" thing and acknowledged their relationship. But it seems to me that the "politician" here has turned out to be this Rev. I have absolutely no respect for someone like Wright who doesn't know when to shut the hell up. He is accomplishing nothing, and instead inciting divisiveness and hate for what purpose? When do the teachings of Christ kick in, I wonder?

The very sad part to me is his comment to his "baby daughter". She has no chance of being a well adjusted adult with a parent spouting the kind of stuff he does. as would be the same for any Limbaugh off spring.

The man is sorry his asking for forgiveness

Reverend Wright is wrong, an anchronistic irrelevance in the 21st Century. Americans have moved on. The pastor is now an only an old man left out and left behind.

Nonetheless, every time he opens his mouth, I feel like asking the President what he thought he was doing sitting in this man's congregation for twenty years.

Pastor Wright, let's get one thing straight. You are NOT a pastor in the Christian faith I am part of when you speak like that.

Jesus was very wise when he called "a spade a spade". You would be good to follow his example.

Well you can see that the 21 percent of the republicans had to bring this to the surface again. They tried it during the election and it didnt work. Why dont they bring up Sarahs minister who practised whitch craft.

Love you gutless Liberals who can't just add 2 plus 2 and come up with Obama was a congregant in his church for over 20 years, married Shelly and he and baptized his kids so there are TIES to him as in "I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community." Remember that direct QUOTE?

He had to disown him ONLY because more of his hateful words came out and that is the ONLY reason why he did, the ONLY reason.

So he sat in the church for 20 years and heard nothing "negative" from this guy?

Really, you people are that stupid aren't you?

Need to paint Rush, Hannity and Newt with the same Brush geniuses, post any of their quotes that are even close to what this "preacher" has said, NOTHING is even close.

Wise latina woman in the courts and racist as all hell pastor, sorry if I sound "typical", but all the proof was their but you dumb as all hell sheep ignored it as you do now.

My bad, It is all Bush's fault, or Palin or McCain or Reagan.............

One and done, EXPERIMENT failed.

This pig should go on tour with Jon Voigt and Rush Limbaugh. He is the biggest stain on Obama's personal history.

2010 the people will send a message. The same people who were against Obama, with the addition of those who realize they were fooled by Obama will have their voices heard.

Those of us not looking for a handout, in addition to those of us who thought they would get one and are seeing that was never going to happen will have their voices heard…

Those of us who knew that Obama would not come through with his promises just as he did to the people of IL, in addition to those who now have their eyes open as they see this administration saying that they "over stated" and were "overly optimistic" will have their voices heard.

the list goes on and on…. weather people vote Dem. Ind. or Rep. One thing is for sure never again will a majority fall for the no substance big wishes and promises campaigning again.

2012 is too far away to make any guesses of intelligence… this Administration may come around and actually try to help people… or 2012 will be very interesting.

You will notice this post does not contain hurtful comments nor name calling... Let us please conduct ourselves with honor.

Since conservatives believe Obama is a Muslim, how can this Christian, Dr. Wright have had any influence on him.

Please,seems we can offend anyone but jews on here,now whats that tell you?

What a great day it is when Jeremiah Wright, Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbaugh have nothing to say.

I believe in God, but, I don't trust organized religion! And this babbling, racist, fool is only one of many reasons why!

Obama sat in Wright's church for 20 plus years, now try to convince me that Wright's beliefs haven't rubbed off on Obama. It will never happen.

Any wonder why Obama doesn't like Israel and wants them wiped out?

Tell me.............................. and I will go and tell Obama. Bc it is not safe allowing you to talk to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well you have Limbaugh and You have Wright! oh and Cheney

Why doesn't this fool just fade itno the sunset? He's so full of himself, he can't admit that he's the one making the "bad choices" by putting his own foot in his big mouth.

The racist pastor is back. What does he really want out of all this? Donations for his church? Is he planning a book?

Apparently, he didn't learn the lesson that he should have when Obama left the church and gave his speech on race. It seems that Wright doesn't understand that Jews aren't in charge. If Jews were in charge, then wouldn't it stand to reason that the Arabs would be flattened against the sand they cling to? He doesn't understand.

It really is interesting what you can tell about people's own faith by their comments... if you believe everything your minister says you are in a cult not a place of worship. Supposedly you are on a journey to reach God, not the preacher... they are there to give you their views, you do not even have to agree... that is not what church is about... again that is a cult!

Pray for Rev. Wright. Hate has filled his heart and he has become a lost lamb. He's a very bitter man. The Obamas must be very disappointed with the anger and hate that is consuming someone they thought so highly of. It's possible his age is a factor. He has preached the theology of victimization yet he has done so much for the poor and disadvantaged in the past. Don't judge him, pray for him.

The dirty little secret of the Democratic Party, black racism, is alive and well. Every time an African-American gets ahead, out pops a Rev. Wright to fan the flames of racism and anti-semitism. And we wonder why Bill O'Reilly and Shawn Hannity have such a large audience?

the connection is simple.

Rev Wright is the father of Michelle's daughters.
that is the way Wright ran his 'church.'
all female members were considered harem material.

Wright is irrelevant and is frankly... a loser. He should be ashamed.

I hope that Wright is Wrong about he and Obama "catching up on old times" when Obama is out of office. If Obama is still going to keep this kind of company, I hope that he decides to do it while the media's eye is on him. Then will we still have a chance (at the ballots) to respond to being lied to.

...and Barry never heard him say any of this in 20 years?!

I wish these coo coo bird leave our President Obama along...That sad how Rush, Cheney, Palin, Gingrich, Wright is treating President Obama.....I wish they would leave our country if they dont like President Obama we would be better without these coo coo bird.

Wright is really a coward.

he refused to name the culprits blocking his access.

they are AXELROD and EMANUEL! the fixers.

The truth of the matter is that no one listern to him except he mention Press Obama.

Rev. Wright is the liberal version of Rush Limbaugh. Both spew forth hatred, racism, intolerance and bigotry.

Wright has surfaced as ignorant as he has always been, the report states Pres Obama worshiped at his church for 2 decades and yet the dems don't think Obama and Wright share any of the same beliefs. Wright was swept under the carpet once but the time will come when he will be public with the pres. The old saying, "you are who you keep company with".

Here we go again......I think this man is crazy. Someone needs to commit him but I also think Obama should at least speak with him.

A. Despicable. I'd slap him in the face if he got within arm's reach.

B. Not attributable to Obama, so cut it out. The grasping shenanigans are what's killing your party, GOPers.

his English is weird...

Obama spent 20 years in this mans church listening to this kind of crap. You can't really believe Wright had no influence over Obama. Love the Liberals here who just can't stop turning everything into Anti republican. We can only hope you develop a brain.

15 minutes of fame is really too much for most folks – though they don't think so.

Not a good time to be making these kinds of comments, Jerry...

Glad to see my President distance himself from this guy. I know lots here are trying to compare Wright to Limbaugh but there is no comparison. Where Rush is just mildly wacko, Wright is a full on racist with nothing but hatred in his heart towards other humans that are not like him. Sad and pathetic.

This "brotha" just won't go away. He was thrust into the spotlight, and at the risk of losing his "son" (Obama) the candidacy continued to stay in the spotlight spewing, and reiterating his hate. The ship has left the harbor without you Rev. Go back to Chicago, and your sermons that although theoretically correct serve no other purpose than to pit people against each other. It is not the Jews, or any other ethnic group keeping Obama away from you, it is the millions upon millions of Americans that are fighting for a change in the status quo. You gotta let go of the hate and move towards the light, and the realization that one person at a time the America of the 1950's can be buried in it's shameful past never to see the light of day again.

He is a Racist.

I wonder if the Jews would let Jimmy Carter talk to Rev Wright?

I hope President Obama can help poor Rev Wright find his way. He is obviously lost in the wilderness of hatred and bigotry.

Terrific Rev. Wright.... Fanning the flames of race-hatred, while condemning anti-black racism. ...and for some bonus points, you did it on a day when shots were fired at the holocaust museum.

You're an embarassment to anything that breathes.

Religious fanatics are fun, arent they?

For the love of Jesus, why won't this man retire quietly? For someone who lives in a 1 million dollar home in Tinley Park, IL and get this....Tinlye Park, Ilinois has a 90.5% White residents and 1.9% residents per City-Data "dot" com. Hmmm, he lives around those he despises???

Oh man. I am getting the popcorn out and watching O'Reilly and Hannity tonight to see what lengths they will go to tie this directly into an "EVIL Obama" presmise.

Going to be a laugh riot tonight for sure.

You know, I'm an African American and I have been to a church like this. This guy wanted everyone to go and watch Ms. Evers boys and said that if someone (mostly men) brought a white girl in the church he was going to look at them like they were crazy. I knew I could not raise my family up in this church. This was not the future.

Rev Wright is an older gentleman and soon the sun will set on his time and his way of thinking along with some older white folks I know. This is not the future of our society.

This man is a nut case and a racist...but he has the freedom to do that and I would never take that away from him.

It's men like Wright-or Limbaugh, Bush, Cheney-who have given Christianity a bad name. Jesus wouldn't be talking or acting like any of these men.

First you have to understand that Wright is no Christian, and second, neither is Obama.

All I've got to say is this really gives you an idea about how Obama judges character, and it's pretty pathetic.

True colors...

Yep...20 years of spiritual mentoring.

Wright calls himself a pastor – I do not believe that this racist, idiot speaks scriptually. I do believe that President Obama was a member of a church led by this man for twenty years and should be held accountable for very poor judgement in following this man. The national media gave him a pass on this issue as well as other personal relationships and it will soon come home to roost.

Maybe we are seeing why President Obama has chosen to come down harshly on Israel while being open to every other country. He is open to talking with Iran, Syria, the Palestinians and North Korea. However, when it comes to Israel, he won't listen to them and their point of view. Very interesting...

Rev Wright: I am African American and from Chicago. You are an embarrasment. I used to have respect for what you did. Now you are bitter and mad at the world and the wrong people. The "jews" that are working with Obama are his long time friends. You can trust that its not them keeping you from Obama, its Obama that does not want to talk to YOU!!! The United States will always be allies with Isreal and the Jewish people that I know and have had the pleasure to meet are all good people. Please stop your ignorance.

All: There are kooks on the right and left people. This clown does not speak for black people at all. I am pissed right now.

CNN you just made Sean Hannity a very, very happy man. This will be his entire broadcast. Rev. Wright is just like Rush Limbaugh minus the drugs.

"Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me,"
*******************************
This statement is an embarrassment to black people everywhere. Not only is it anti-Semitic, it's grammatically incorrect too, so it's double ignorant...
Does he really believe that the POTUS has the time or the inclination to reach out to a walking talking political liability?
I saw the headline and picture and just hung my head in shame.
"Them Jews"??? An educated man should not use such venacular.

What some of you posters need to do is sit down and try to figure out why that with everything Rev. Wright has said, no one listens to him and goes to shoot up a building full of people of other races, yet the white supremacist who listen to "your guys" are going off their hinges.

I do not believe that reverent J. Wright is the worst person on this planet he made those comment long time ago, obviously the media as usual played those tapes during the campaign over and over again just to discredit former senate member Barack H. Obama. The argument made on those tapes are what took place in the United States. And this is in fact what is taking place wherever you go in the Western world against dark skin people a System of Institutionalize Racism

Spoken like a true man of God.

I viewed this guy as Obama's crazy uncle. Now I'll update to Obama's crazy anti-semetic uncle.

As a member of the United Church of Christ, I am embarrassed to find myself in the same denomination with this bigoted jerk. President Obama was wise to reject him; our denomination should do likewise.

He's wrong and the ignorance of what Wright just said is proof why Obama won't deal with him.

The man is an absolute idiot and our POTUS doesn't have time for that.

As a black woman, I don't have time for it either. He is Rush Limbaugh's half brother for sure.

Oh this is rich. The more these attention seeking hounds come out, the more I'm convinced that we have the right President. Anyone who can stand up under this type of onslaught deserves a medal of honor. The fact that these characters, left-right-middle have nothing to offer – say to bad mouth folk, reveals who they truly are. The American people will not be fooled again. I wonder how much he was paid to come out of hiding? He probably backed Roland Burris and Blagojavich too.....

Mr Wright, I Hope Obama never speaks to you. You are a horrible friend sir!

What's the big deal? Rev. Wright has the right to have an opinion.

It seems as if Rev Wright is feeling neglected because he hasn't been in the news lately. Besides, the rest of us have to listen to Palin, Newt and Rush – so as I see it its equal opportunity for all.

Freedom of speech. He might as well throw his 10 cents in along with Limbaugh, Hannity, Cheney etc......

Too bad the media didn't drag this guy out of the ditch a little more during the campaign, too busy chasing Elk in Alaska. Gotta love those of you who continue to support Obama and his very questionable associations. Obama as well as the Liberals have very selective memories.

is there any wonder why Barry attended his churrch all the time and only stopped when he got caught and then threw Rev. Wrong under the bus.

Rev. Wright, please crawl back in your hole. The President is working on serious problems and have no time for your psycho talk. You are important in your mind only. He will not talk to you ever again because you will lie about anything that was said. He is not your son and the only mistake he made was not kicking you to the curb sooner. He tried to give you a chance but, you wouldn't shut your ignorant mouth. Go away!

Poor Jeremiah... time to hang up the robes and get some rest. You worked hard and long, but you need to go away.

Why does CNN waste this space with stuff like that?
Jeremiah Wright just the opposite end of Rush Limbaugh, and I don't think CNN should waste our time with either one of them when they are spewing hate.

Somebody's been feeling left out lately...

Go ahead and take his picture so he can get his fix... and we can move on.

Why is this news worthy? Everyone has a right to their opinion, however putting Wright front & center is just fodder for the wacky-right!

More attack against jews and Israel by Rev Wright and the black community is silence

Well now... we've just learned the Holocaust Museum shooter is an 88 year old white supremacist from Maryland. He will be excoriated in the media for his anti-jewish beliefs.

In related news, the Reverand Wright comment ("those dirty jews won't let Obama speak to me") will be buried.

Whew! The media really dodged a bullet there. Thanks to the "wild-west, cowboy, gun-wielding" violence of a white person, they won't have to address the equally ugly anti-jewish bigotry of an "Obama-supporter-of-color." Thank goodness for white bigots, right, mainstream media?

That was just a phony "break" from Wright last year, as it is obvious Obama and Wright believe the same way as far as Black power and destruction of the Whiter races, with neither man exhibiting the grace of God in their lives or actions. Obama even goes so far as to say that all presidents (possible exception FDR) before him committed crimes and were stupid.

As a Muslim, I am appalled by this allegations. Blaming Jews for everything is becoming a norm these days. Shame on you Mr. Wright. If POTUS wants to talk to you, you certainly just made it very hard for him to do so.

Every snake is crawling out from under their rocks, including this one. Jeremiah Wright, as an African American Christian female, I am offended that you think Barack isn't speaking to you because of politics. Why can't it be because you are a first class, attention seeking megalamaniac? I rank you with Newt, Rush, Cheney, Romney and the rest of the attention grubbing crew. What a joke you all are. Haters. All of You.

Hate speech is not OK, Rev.Wright. May God forgive you for such hate and fear mongering, when you have to answer to God someday.

But Obama sure got a lot of mileage out of that hate didn't he?
Any condemnation from the Whitehouse on this will be with a wink-wink-nod-nod.

Stop being a menace to the society! The "Wright" thing for this guy to do is shut his mouth. He's makin' a fool out of himself.

Shut up and go away Rev. Wright!!!

Proverbs 29:20...."Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him."

This man has completely lost it.

Funny, no comments. He should have said "Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney won't let me see the President", then you'd have a ton of comments. Why won't they let the President see his spiritual adviser?

Seriously, what is with all of the anti-Semitic stuff lately? It's so overwhelmingly stupid, I just feel shocked to the core. Did WW2 mean nothing?!?!?!?!

I don't understand why this man doesn't just shut up. Must be an ego thing.

I don't like Rev. Wright's attitude, but he is entitled to speak.
One thing I have noticed is that the so-called conservatives are a lot more apt to kill someone over their beliefs than any liberal is. They stockpile their guns and their anger, and then off they go-let's kill the abortion doctor performing legal procedures. Let's go kill those terrorists...oops.we killed a whole lot of innocent people? Too bad. Let's go torture some people who MIGHT have information. Let's arrest people on suspicion of terrorist activity, treat them poorly, and then be surprised when we have to release them for no evidence and they have the gall to be mad at the US. Let's start a war for which we cannot pay, keep lowering taxes, and let the Democrats worry about ending the war and then somehow paying for it. And they cannot for an instant understand just what the US might have to apologize for? How do you people call yourselves Christian with a straight face?

rev wright is obviously not only a loose cannon, but completely unhinged. id love to be a fly on the wall when rahm emanuel confronts wright. oh, if only!

Looks like Obama made a good decision to dissociate himself from Wright.

I have a sneaking feeling that nobody, regardless of their religion, needs to prevent Obama from talking to Wright.

yes, Obama sat in this man's church for 20 years.

Up until now I thought most of his comments were taken out of context and manipulated by the Republicans and FOX News. However, this certaintly crossed the proverbial line. Whether or not it casts any doubt around the character of President Obama is still in question in my mind. What is becoming clear, however, is the character of Reverand Wright: anti-semite.

Please meet Rush Limbaugh's equivalent from the other side.

Rev. Wright, I have no doubt that you believe yourself to be a man of God. However, clearly you are no friend much less spiritual advisor to President Obama. If you were, instead of maligning President Obama and a few of his close Jewish advisors, you would be talking to and praying for him in private. Rev. Wright, please remove the planks of racism and hatred from your own eyes before trying to remove splinters from anyone else's.

20 years of going to this man for spiritual advice, and only after he became a political liability did Obama abandon him.

He and Obama are two peas in a pod. Neither one are qualified to be even called an American.

Those who espouse hate from the pulpit are false prophets

Reverend Wright is a sick pathetic racist that does not have a place in a world that is trying to overcome the trash that comes out of his mouth. Stop giving him air time- He's worthless...

This isn't a man of God or Love, this is a jerk.

What could really come out of this ? A meeting between the two. A dialect has to occur between them, i mean Obama doesn't hate the Rev. They need to set the record straight on the future of their relationship. This should happen in person or by phone, so that there's no further distractions.

Ah yes, what a breath of fresh air this man is. I wonder if, in his reverance, he remebers that Christ was one of "Them Jews".

And just how many years have Obama and Michelle have been sitting in the pews listening to their reverend Wright?

Can't wait to hear the hate that will spew forth from the neocons about this. President Obama hasn't spoken to him in years but the neocons will blame him for something.

Evil – Vile – Disgusting! How else can a reasonable, rational, objective person assess & describe this miserable excuse for a human and a supposed member of the cloth?

Wait a minute...Wright couldn't have said that....I thought only white republicans were hate mongering racists...

Sounds like something Wright would say. I still can't believe Obama willfully marinated in the hatred and delusion of Wright's preaching in that church for about 20 years.

The man should be examined for a stroke or a degenerative brain disease. That is the only explaination.

He is no man of God.

Cue the Hannity crowd linking those words to Obama, even though the whole point is that he's not talking to Wright! God, this'll be hilarious.

Doesn't that give you all a warm and fuzzy feeling all over to know that Jeremiah Wright thinks of Obama as a son!

With a father like that....well you all get the picture!!!

I wounder why it is that he feels Obama will talk with him again AFTER his political life dies out. What gives him that idea? Did Obama tell him that he had to throw Rev. Wrigjt under the bus in order to keep his own political life intact. It was all a farse!

If the press would ignore this man, he would go away. By printing and discussing what he has to say he is encouraged to say even more. I am not an Obama fan, did not vote for him, have grave concerns for this country, but using this prejudice ignorant so-called pastor for "news" does not help our country nor does it hurt Obama. It just creates talking points for the news pundits.

Hahahahaa man it's a good thing Obama broke off all ties with this guy.

Why should President Obama talk to Rev. Wright ever again? Wright could have been the #1 spiritual advisor to an American president, but seems to go out of his way to make himself repulsive and problematic, and to no good purpose. It is he who abandoned Obama, not the other way around.

Keep doing what you are doing, and just like you said, when Washington has taken all the fire out of his eyes, he will then come back and want to talk with you when he's a lame duck president.

Gotta love this guy, too bad the media was too busy going to Alaska during Obamas campaign. After spending 20 years in his church, Obama never heard anything. Guess the Old hearing aids weren't working!!

Jeremiah, I would think that you as a pastor would and should know that Jesus was a Jew. So ignorant.

"Them Jews (and white folks) won't let me talk to him". Don't worry Pastor, he still one of yours. You married him and baptized his children. Yep, I bet in his heart you and Ayers are never far away.

Rev. Wright needs to be quiet and stop spreading dissension. I think he is jealous of President Obama, and would destroy everything to get attention.

His controversial sermons weren't just anti-government, they were anti-White.

First Whites, now Jews. At least he's an equal opportunity offender.

This guy needs to just shut it already!

Please remain a pastor for now. Barack Obama is a president and would be that way for the next eight years.

Thank you and God Bless America

"that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office"

At this rate it will be even sooner that he will talk to you. Like in less than 4 years.

does this explain why Obama's haven't been back to church?

Oh, dear God, what is it going to take to shut this man up! In the first place, it's an ignorant and offensive statement that certainly sounds anti-Semitic even though he will certainly deny being anti-Semitic. It's inexcusable for anyone to say such hateful things, let alone when they will be taken by many to reflect badly on the President. Secondly, he's too long been a political liability for a man who is trying to make significant improvements to the lives of Americans and he needs to learn not to impede the President's success. Finally, saying something so thoughtless and stupid seems motivated solely by the man's ego and desire to be in the spotlight. Evidently, he has to learn that his ego should serve the interests of the country, not vice-versa.

Wright is managing only to prove that he's a pathetic excuse for a man of God.

I am a passionate Obama supporter. That being said I just don't see what he saw in this guy. He is a small minded angry bigot. And he is supposed to be a man of God? How sad.

Wright has to stop hating the players and start hating the game! Life in America is what it is. Stop hating the people and start hating the system. Make systemic changes instead of adding to the hate quotient.

It is called tact. If I were Obama, I would stay away from this idiot too.

Sorry Reverend, but becoming the President of the United States isn't a bad choice. The bad choice was being associated with you. That was the mistake.

Rev. Wright: LEAVE THE PRESIDENT ALONE!! If he wanted to talk to you, he would do so. "Nuff said!
P.S. Apologize for your racist remark!!

Get yourselves ready you socialist, because you do eat your own. Obummer could have put Wright out of everyones mind with a little truthfulness....OH I forgot ....truth is not part of the socialist agenda. Lies and big debt and big government with state run businesses is the order of the day. Has Chavez made his reservation for the Lincoln bedroom. I'm sure he would get a big kick and maybe a few ideas from reading Obummers college papers, if he would let them be public. What could this Prez of yours be hiding.

For 20 years, Obama sat in this guy's church. He only ditched him because it was politically correct to do so. No matter what Obama says.

I have far to many relatives and friends with insane political views to throw them all under the bus or into the ocean simply because we do not agree.

America needs to grow up...because it's a sad commentary on who we are as a people, when we cannot allow or accept others for being different...

I think Rev Wright, like most people his age, is stuck in his ways and sticking to his guns – for no other reason than stubborness. I don't agree with everything he's said, though I understand the emotion behind his sermons. I may be white, but I definitely understand being oppressed and feeling like no matter how hard you work, the white MAN will always have his foot on your neck.

I'm always mildly amused at how shallow anti-semitism is and how easily it's exposed. Rev. Wright is a classic racist, as are many of the collective pastors, preachers, evangelists. I'm reminded of that classic line from Wm. S. Burroughs "Naked Lunch".....'...all them Jews want to do is doodle a christian gal.'
They just can't win...

All Obama's looney friends coming out to roost. First it was Ayers and now this nut. My guess by next year Wright will be holding sermons at the White House.

Sometimes it is just best to keep your mouth shut... Too bad this guy doesn't know that.

Welcome back! Just when you thought it was safe to go into the water ...

Wright who? Only the GOp still thinks Wright matters. Most Americans have already moved on from this garbage, but I guess the GOP didnt get the memo.

Even though I tried frantically for several years to find a church to "fit" my daughter, she thought of herself to be an antheist... until she heard Reverend Wright's sermons and "attended" his church online! She now considers herself to be a 100% Christian, goes to church and couldn't believe she'd thought otherwise prior! That's all I care about!

When Reverend Wright isn't taken out of context with bits and pieces by the media... I understand completely what he is saying more than any other priest or pastor I've ever heard! And I was raised Catholic and attended church every single Sunday for most of my life and other churches in between!

I love that man for his truth telling!

Of COURSE Obama doesn't want to talk to Rev Wright.... there is no political advantage in doing so!

Wright was Obama's spiritual adviser, married him & michelle, baptized his daughters, inspired the book "Audacity of Hope"...... but Obama won't take his call????

LOL... just shows you how deep Obama's faith really is.

That he would so comment is hardly surprising. I did not and do not attribute what he says to the President. However, the fact that someone with these views held a role for so many years as a spiritual mentor cannot help create unease among those of us who are part of the minority group that this man chooses to target.

Call a spade a spade? How out of touch is this guy? Obama disowned YOU and for good reason.

Wright has nothing to do with Christianity.

i quess a spade is a spade....no one would listen when this was brought out during the campaign..and no one will listen now...but if a jew calls a spade a spade they will be a racist

Rev. Jeremiah Wright,
shut it,go away so long bye bye

sick and hateful and this is a clergyman!

Stupid man. He's not talking with you because he doesn't agree with your crazy ideology. Don't you watch TV? He's the POTUS, "the Jews" are doing what he tell them to do.

Who cares what this windbag says?

Looking for air time! Just like Hanity, Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck. Stir up the worst in people, and this is what you get.

Great, here we go again. Why don't you just live your life normally, instead of attracting this media frenzy again? This is so embarassing...

Looks like someone's trying to regain his 15 minutes of fame again ... please. Just go away!

Just another loud mouth who has had his 15 minutes of fame. Why do we continue to hear about his racial views?

Wright belongs in jail. Bibi and the jews aren't scared of you Wright or your hateful sermons

Please, go away!

What he is calling a spade a spade? if I called him a spade it would be racist !!!!!

I find it hard to believe Obama was "suddenly" blindsided just LAST YEAR by this guy's bigotry, and never saw, heard or felt it before hand. Come on, you don't sit in Archie Bunker's church for 20 years and NOT know the guy's a bigot.

Those kinds of words don't just fall out of your cranial oriface without them being reeeeeeeeeeally, really close to one's heart.

But what do I know... I'm just a typical white man who doesn't share Wright and Obama's rich experiences and therefore, my conclusion is likely very wrong.

Wow....seriously???

Will somebody put this racist in his palce??? Democrat, Republican, anybody????

Ah, God's spokesman speaks again.

Rev Wright with all due respect – leave the man alone. If he wanted to talk to you he is POTUS now and could do so whenever he felt the slightest desire. If he hasn't spoken with you it not the Jews but it could be your bad breath. A one brother to another I'm jus sayin.

OK.........A bit over the top on this one Rev.

I was with right till you had to go all anti-semetic. Everything else I agree with you on. Of course Obama can't hang out with you. I don't agree with him having to go that far for his political future, nor do I agree with him doing it at all. But the other side really hates that you bring up their issues that have plagued us for some time now. Even as the president goes abraod trying to mend old ties, the other side is riduculing him. They hate the fact that their wrongs are put into the light.

Rev. Wright just keeps showing what a hypocrite he is. He condemns racism from the pulpit, but only if it is racism against blacks. Racism against the rest of God's children seems to be perfectly okay with him.

"I said from the beginning: He's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."

Seems like Rev. Wright listened more than Obama did for 20 years.

Go away Mr. Wright, this country needs unity, not division.

This is going to be interesting... Mmm

The jews won't let him talk to him.... Mmm

He is a radical racist'.... Mmm

I would not speak to you either....Nah...

Hey Jeremiah Wright talk to the pastor of Sarah Palin, you know the one who will protect her from people like me...A witch.... but no one on the Campagn trail did not mention that one, you betcha... Why is that? What is good for the goose is good for the gander....

Obama used Wright's church for social ties to the community. Obama obvioulsy thinks he's a nut if he's not talking to him anymore. And Rev Wright while I'm sure is a good man and does a lot of his community seems to also be a hateful man. Sometimes you call a space a spade. Sometime you just keep the comments to yourself. Mr Wright apparently doesn't have that switch installed.

It's because of people like rev.wright ,and his friends we have things like the shooting at the Mall in washington D.C.

This guy just can't keep his face away from a camera and a microphone.

Obama was right to dump this clown.

Rev. Wright says that he's a pastor. The Bible calls a pastor a shepherd. A shepherd does not seek to hurt or injure a sheep in any way, shape or form. In fact, the Shepherd does everything he can to protect the sheep. It looks to me that Rev. Wright is playing the "politician" role while President Obama is living the life of a Shepherd. Wright should be careful not to grieve the Holy Spirit.

50/50 split on this. He has the right to speak and preach what he wants. but yet we also alow hate groups to do the same. so we realy cant say he is unamerican.

Nice guy....not!

Clearly the guy I want leading my church.

Tell it like it is Jeremiah. No regrets! Don't bite your tongue for anyone.

Obama and Wright have the same views. This is the reasone BO is thying to destroy relations with Israel and buddy up with Palestine. They have the same ideas about Jews and their existance.

Did any bosy notice we have had our 2nd terrorist attack on US soil in the last 2 weeks. I just dont feel safe in our own country anymore. You think your prophet will do anything to keep us same on our own soil? Doubt it

Looking at President Obama's action towards Israel thus far, I don't think it will take too long before Rev. Wright and the President are old chums again.

If Wright is so intelligent like people say he should understand why his hate speech causes others to distance themselves from him. Get over it, Jeremiah.

The Reverand Wright seems to speak before he thinks. Sometimes, it's better to keep very negative comment to yourself, rather than speak harsh about a people and cause bitter feelings.

Oh look...the hate monger is back.

Christians have no problem showing their bigotry, they even seem proud of it. Man, "them Jews" must be almost as bad as "them Gays"....are they 2nd Class Citizens too???

Wright is very similar to Limbaugh; like opposite ends of a magnet.
Thank for CNN for promoting hate (snark on).

the true voice of chicago politics

Obviously there are nut cases on both sides of the political fence. This man is one of them. Wright doesn't have the good sense to think about what he is saying. Neither does Limbaugh. Perhaps they could save some money and both broadcast from the same studio at the same time?
They'd cancel each other out, and all we'd hear would be dead air. Perfect solution!

Its freedom of speech – for Cheney or Wright ... and I don't listen to either ....
