Reverend Jeremiah Wright, The Conservative
March 26th, 2008
Ishmael Reed on Reverend Wright’s moment of clarity and precision.
Wasn’t Wright conservative when he mentioned just two of the horrendous crimes against humanity committed by the American government? Nagasaki and Hiroshima, attacks that were unique in the history because the Japanese are still suffering from the damaging genetic effects of the war. He could have gone all out as Ward Churchill does in his book A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas, 1492 to the Present (Paperback). He could have reminded them that the West has been bombing Muslim countries since 1911 (see The History of Bombing by Sven Lindquist.) Wright didn’t blame the three thousand casualties world trade center on the victims (nor did he say that it was an inside job, MSNBC’s Willie Geist’s lie). The fact that people abroad might be enraged by the country’s policies is a difficult message for the American public which has been kept in a bubble of ignorance by the media and the school curriculum. Three thousand lives were lost as a result of the American invasion of Panama alone. Rick Sanchez of CNN said on March 21 that some Hispanics warmed to Obama’s speech on race because they remember invasion of Panama and the overthrow of the Allende government in Chile.

Does Rev. Wright’s use of the “roosting chickens” anaology in connection with 9/11 without crediting Churchill mean he’s guilty of plagiarizing the Good Prof? Nope. Not according to those lofty intellects over at PB who, with their usual degree of precision, have determined that Churchill in effect “pre-plagiarized” Wright.
No shit.
Had CU only known the moonbats’ capacity for such logical acrobatics, perhaps it wouldn’t have needed to pay the likes of Mimi Wesson and Maggie McIntosh to produce comparable results in their famous “investigative report.” No doubt the moonbats would gladly have provided such services free of charge, thereby saving Colorado taxpayers something on the order of a half-million bucks (thus far).

It was also learned today that Jeremiah Wright isn’t an American Indian, either.

Yeah, that was in the same story where it was confirmed by numerous sources that you’re a dickless wonder. Right, Walking Eagle?

Kudos on the consistency with which you manage to get even the most basic facts wrong, Mr. Crowell. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright most certainly DOES have Native American ancestry, as well as African and a dash of “the Caucasian persuasion” (that is to say, genetics engendered by rape).
You can look it up on Ancestry.Com if you like, but it’s common knowledge among Chicagoans. Saaaaaaay…
Don’t YOU live in Chicago?
Oh, yes, I see. That would be the “Whites Only” part of city, wouldn’t it?

halfway on topic, file this away for the next Columbus parade. Have you guys heard of Rod Parsley? Critics keep acting like Glenn Morris et al. are overinterpreting simple italian pride, or are sore losers about something 500 yrs ago, or are making things up when they complain about modern celebrations of Columbus.
On AirAmerica, actress Janeane Garofalo sometimes calls into one show pretending to be Katherine Harris, and today she was emphasizing this McCain supporter Parsley who claims Columbus went to the caribbean to defeat Islam, and it’s been centuries long struggle to conquer the false religions
”
It was to defeat Islam, among other dreams, that Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492…Columbus dreamed of defeating the armies of Islam with the armies of Europe made mighty by the wealth of the New World. It was this dream that, in part, began America.”

Sounds like the Rev. Parsley—catchy garnish, that—might just be pastor of the church infested by ol’ Walkin’ Eagle Crowell hisself. How else could they have ended up sharing so many such “realities”?
