Rev. Wright: The Magical Misery Tour!

by BlueDoggyDogg, Fri Apr 25, 2008 at 05:59:45 PM EST

Roll up, roll up for the misery tour!  That would be the upcoming media tour by the good Rev. Jeremiah Wright, which will no doubt be bringing misery upon Sen. Barack Obama's electability argument.  Here's a list of some of Rev. Wright's "Greatest Hits" (w/ video excerpts):

"Israel (That Dirty Word Again!)"
"America's Chickens....... are Coming Home..... to Roooooooost"
"God Damn America!"
"The Government LIIIIIIIIED about Pearl Harbor!"
"The U.S. of KKK (A.)"
"Hillary ain't never been called a n***!"
"Fighting for Peace is like Raping for Virginity"
"What We are Doing is the Same Thing Al Qaeda is Doing"
"Monica (The Other White Meat)"

We can all look forward to Rev. Wright adding to his "Greatest Hits" collection with this upcoming tour.  Already some video has been leaked, and it has the makings of an instant classic:

"He Says What He Has to Say as a Politician"

Here are the venues where the Reverend will be appearing:

TONIGHT:  "Bill Moyers Journal", PBS (check local listings)
SUNDAY MORNING:  Friendship-West Baptist Church, Dallas, TX
SUNDAY NIGHT: The 53rd Annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner, Detroit, MI
MONDAY:  National Press Club, Washington, D.C. (SOLD OUT)

Step right this way!!

Roll up AND THAT'S AN INVITATION, roll up for the misery tour.
Roll up TO MAKE A RESERVATION, roll up for the misery tour.
The magical misery tour is coming to take you (SUPERDELEGATES) away,
Coming to take you (SUPERDELEGATES) away.
The magical misery tour is dying to take you (SUPERDELEGATES) away,
Dying to take you (SUPERDELEGATES) away, take you (SUPERDELEGATES) away!

And unless the super delegates are "Fools On The Hill" they will take this nomination away from Barack Obama!

Who said I did?  I am not a racist, I'm just trying to convince the superdelegates they are making a huge mistake by going w/ someone who will get blown out in November.  And throwing a little satire in.  I mean, c'mon, Rev. Wright himself called Obama a phony yesterday!

Re: Why do you hate MLK? (none / 0)

Actually he didn't. He said he was a politician not a preacher. Bobby Kennedy was a politician and he spoke the language of MLK in the words of a politician. There was a time when "politician" wasn't a dirty word.

As far as the MLK comment goes I was sort of kidding. Other than the HIV thing MLK and other civil rights heroes said substantially similar things as Wright so I guess our educational system is failing in teaching that part of history. If it wasn't  people wouldn't be so freaked out.

Re: Why do you hate MLK? (none / 0)

I can understand why many black people have a negative or skeptical view of America, I mean, if my ancestors were brought here in chains I would probably feel the same way.  But others don't understand that, and this plays horribly with the white working class and seniors who make up the majority in swing states like Missouri, Ohio and Florida.  This election is far too important to risk losing it w/ a candidate who canot connect with those voters or win those states.

Re: Why do you hate MLK? (none / 0)

Well Obama won Missouri and he certainly polls well in swing states like VA, IA, CO, WI so I don't think it's an issue. But honestly since the  polls haven't budged because of it and the CW is that it didn't hurt him the supers aren't going to go against the pledged delegate count so Obama will be the nominee.

The blogs would do best to pushback against it rather than assist it. That's our job.

Forget slavery (well don't since everything stem from that), the US government is dumping toxic sludge in black neighborhoods to see what happens to the kids as we speak.

Re: Why do you hate MLK? (none / 0)

Dumping toxic sludge? I dunno about that, but I spent some of my summer last year in Harlem and met many wonderful black people, but the impoverished conditions many of them live in is terribly sad, these kids have such an uphill battle from the start.  But this country seems to give everyone a fair shake if they work hard enough and work the system well.  It has for me, anyways.  and Oprah, Will Smith, Tiger Woods and Barack Obama show just how high you can go, I mean they are each near or at the top of their fields, which are dominated by white people, and hopefully provide great inspiration to those kids in Harlem, Cabrini-Green etc.

Yeah toxic sludge.

This country doesn't give any poor people a fair shake. Without a decent education, healthcare, and nutrition you're going nowhere. Add to that, discrimination in housing, the criminal justice system, & the educational system and the myth of the bootstraps falls apart.

Statistically, those people you named aren't meaningful. Not everyone can be an entertainer, athlete or politician.

Let's stop the insanity, VA, CO, IA are not swing states. Maybe Obama can turn them into swing states, but they are deep safe Republican states. They'll probably stay that way, but they are unecessary for a Democratic win. Wisconsin is more of a Democratic state, but one that may swing.

The tradtional swing states are PA, OH, MO, FLA, MI ... you see the problem here?

Personally I look forward to hearing Wright, I think it will be a real eye opener to our nation and media.

I think the only mistake he made was brining the election into it, but I apply that all clergy.

Re: Rev. Wright: The Magical Misery Tour! (none / 0)

they will take this nomination away from Barack Obama!

I love how any and all prediticons which stipulate to Clinton's superior electability fail to take into account the impact that SDs taking it form Obama would have, I mean good god I want a clear layout on how this is going to happen and not offend AA voters- How are you going to spin taking the nomination from the person who in every other primary since the introduction of the SDs would have won (the leader in pledged delegates has never failed to be the nominee), especially when the first time this sort of SD intervention happens just coincidentally to also be the first time an African American was in line for the prize? I mean really do you people not see how that might piss people off?


by Socraticsilence on Fri Apr 25, 2008 at 06:15:56 PM EST

Re: Rev. Wright: The Magical Misery Tour! (1.66 / 3)

Not half as pissed off as Clinton supporters are going to be if Michigan and Florida aren't counted. Twice as many Clinton supporters are telling pollsters they won't vote for Obama as vice versa.

Obama doesn't want to count all the votes until after he has beeen nominated. Clinton argued for revotes even though a revote in Michigan would have cost her delegates. That's the esssential difference between the two - one takes his name off the ballot to deny his opponent a victory and then whines that his name isn't on the ballot so the vote wasn't legitimate. The other one argues for a revote under the circumstance even though the revote would cost her votes.

You do realize that this is the first time we'll have a female nominee and a woman in the Oval Office is going to be a much bigger change than a guy could ever be and will say an awful lot more to world about how much more seriously we're talking our efforts than some guy whose first foreign policy speech caused riots in Pakistan, doesn't travel and couldn't be bothered to hold a single subcommittee meeting.

Clinton is change. Obama is same ole', same ole'. One more guy with charisma and not much experience. Nothing could be more tedious or more business as usual, than looking at him and his Nancy Reagan clone of a wife up there on stage with their daughters. We're just terrified to break out of the rut we're in with electing men. I'm tired of it. I want change. I want a president with real experience who is a real wonk.

Say what?! There have been many female heads of state, name the ones who were ethnic minorities within their own country and roose to power through open and free elections, seriously name them, I'll wait.

Not only is such a thing virtually unprecedented but it happening here, a nation which was in large part built upon the slavery and genocide of African-Americans, well it would send a far stronger message than simply another relative of a past ruler taking power.

Nope, women all over the world are far more oppressed than men - that is a fact. And a woman taking the oval office - especially one with Hillary's record on women's rights - will send the most powerful message possible that the US is ripe for change.

Obama is a guy - just like all the other guys in the world. And through out the both ancient and recent history, the vast majority of the world has been governed by males. Most nations have never had a female leader though 50% of the population is female. The US has never had a female president either.

It's just never occcurred to you that most of the world is looking at Obama and seeing something very close to George Bush.

Re: Rev. Wright: The Magical Misery Tour! (none / 0)

What, I'm willing to bet that Obama is percieved
better overseas than Hillary, nice dodge by the way on my question about minority heads of state vs. Female Heads of state (hint: there have been far, far more Female heads of state or high officials, a balance reflected currently in the US where there are currently what 16 or 17 female senators, whereas there have been 3 African AMerican senators in the last century in this country its not even arguable).  

As far as Women's rights go, Hillary basically leans on one speech (which while a nice speech was actually something that Human Rights activist asked her not to due, what with the boycott of China and all-- plus making speeches is worthless right, I mean isn't that the Team Hillary line on Iraq).

Hell if I'm Dubya and a Dem has to win I'm praying its Hillary, because god knows there's no way she's oging to pursue War Crimes stuff, she'd have to arrest Bill (Google: Renditions, and see the Clinton Record on Human Rights and how it laid the foundations for Gitmo, Secret Prisons and Abu Gahrib-- Bush just decided to quit outsourcing torture a policy Bill pioneered).

Refresh my memory - when did Clinton do anything more than simply observe what was being said? In order for it to be hypocrisy, since she is now advocating them to be counted, you're going to have to present evidence of her advocating that they not be counted. And saying that it's clear they won't be isn't an endorsement of the action.

If you don't come back, you don't come back. Your candidate has engaged in overtly misogynistic rhetoric and race baiting to tear down a candidate who has been one of the most stalwart allies that African Americans have had.

Re: Thanks, LO! (none / 0)

Obama has been in high office for three years. Clinton has been in high office seven years - that's a big difference. If you factor in his part time work in the state senate, you add about another year and a half total. The Illinois senate only meets 55 days out of the year - basically, it's a summer job.

In addition, Clinton has spent eight years working directly in the executive branch with the president as well as having spent 12 years as the First Lady in Arkansas. Obama has no executive exposure or experience whatsoever.

Lastly but not least, above and beyond her duties as First Lady, Clinton has innumerable public service accomplishments - from chairing the Board of Legal Services to rounding up funds to build medical facilities in rural Arkansas to her health care program to SCHIP. Obama has nothing comparable to his name.

He became a community organizer - didn't do much. Whent to law school and made editor. Graduated and went to work for a medium sized law firm where he did nothing significant. Wasn't lead attorney on any signficiant cases. Didn't win any precedent setting cases. Didn't write any ground breaking legal briefs. Nothing. Went to work in the Illinois senate and accomplished absolutely nothing in five years. Despite his claims of post-partisan genius, he didn't get one single bill passed. The Dems take charge, and Emil Jones gifts him with legislation that other legislators had crafted. Obama accepts the gift. runs for US senate on that resume, gets to the senate and proceeds to not do much of anything. doesn't hold meetings of his committee. Doesn't make it to Iraq. Misses a lot of votes. Shows no particular leadership skills. Opposes the war but does nothing to stop it.

What Obama said was correct: he doesnt share those ideas but he understood the anger that can lead someone of that personality type to vent and made be prone to hyperbole at times.

People say he should disown him. DId it ever occur to some of your geniuses that obama formed a bond with him before some of the more outrageous stuff came out of his mouth> And some of that stuff is not even outrageious. An African American who voluntarily served as a marine who experienced the kind of virulent racism experienced during his youth has every freaking right to say GODDAMN AMERICA. And it is understandable for someone from that era to wildly speculate about hIV being planted by the government after what we saw of the tuskegee experiments and the drugs in CA scandal.

It's safe to say that no other Democrat in the final tier of running for the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the US in the past 30 years has had a close relationship with someone who, as a public figure, has a record of saying things this stupid, racist and misogynist for the record.

Most people who are serious about running and winning recognize that giving the GOP a big, juicy issue like this is tantamount to handing a violent sociopath an AK47. What is preferable is to reduce the GOP to just making shit up. It's still tough to fight but easier than fighting an issue of substance,.

Obama didn't do that. He handed them Wright and Rezko. He should have cleaned those relationships up or wait to run.

Re: Rev. Wright: The Magical Misery Tour! (2.00 / 1)

Did he marry Bill and hillary? Baptize Chelsea? does she name books after his sermons? Obama describes Wright as his spiritual mentor and as someone he cannot abandon. Does Clinton speak of Coe in that way? or is it simply a matter of Clinton being smart enough to meet her enemies on their territory? They aren't comparable. You know it and I know it. Wright was never going to be much of a problem in the primary. Wright is going to be a huge problem in swing states in the general. Huge.

I have no problem with Wright blaming whites for the problems Africans Amercians have. I have problems with his misogynist and racist attacks on Clinton. I have problems with that fact that Obama and his wife exposed their daughters to such misogynist hate mongering.

The big problem is that Obama didn't clean this mess up before he ran. There is no video tape of Coe attacking Obama on Clinton's behalf.

Re: Rev. Wright: The Magical Misery Tour! (none / 0)

Wright is not running. And you are exagerrating Wright's level of rhetoric. Yes, he is prone to hyperbole. I know if I lived in that era as a black man, America would have to THANK ME for not going loco on white people and taking out some people. Why shouldn't black people from that era treat conservative white people as terrorists like we treat fanatical muslims and Al Quaeda? Would you have preferred that Wright be less broad, but more forceful in his response to racist whites?

Obama made it clear. He was certainly not subject to that horrible an experience. But he has mingled with people who have. It would have been dumb of him to express those ideas. But there is NO CONTRADICTION in him accepting someone who means a lot to him who has made a few silly statements. Wright hasnt made any statements that led to people killed like our politicians rhetoric about national security.
