If BO gets the nomination, the GOP will use these against him.

1. I clicked thru channels last night and caught

Hannity saying that Geraldine Ferraro would be on. I can't stand him but I stuck around to watch. She spoke mostly with Colmbs.

Anywho, he brought up this tape, showed it and said that he was going to keep bringing it up until the MSM did.

So yeah, you can bet they won't let this one die.

3. Here's an ironic comment by a church member:

"He (wright) has impacted the life of Barack Obama so much so that he wants to portray that feeling he got from Rev. Wright onto the country because we all need something positive," said another member of the congregation.

I'm surprised Ross didn't include the other speech that basically slams Hillary for having the wrong skin colour and family background. That sermon condemning Hillary for not being black (essentially), unlike Barack (who is, as far as I know, half-white, rich, and privileged - been to Harvard Law, been a state senator, and now a US Senator, for God's sake!, and wife is VP of University of Chicago Hospitals! - like lots of rich, white people whom Wright rails against as 'the enemy').

The GOP are certainly looking forward to using this against BO.

6. i saw that one, too

Bo was a poor, black kid. right. he was raised by his white mother and her family. rev wright has conveniently forgotten that because it doesn't fit his narrative.

and, libbygurl, the other irony in that sermon is that wright states that HRC was never called "n#####". that's true, but BO was never called bitch or c*** either. to say that HRC's race protected her from discrimination is asinine.

4. This is a big deal.

I think the Repubs were holding it back for the general election but the head of the camel is already in the tent and it has taken on a life of its own.

7. I agree. BEFORE Limpballs and his ilk began

urging his idiots to vote for HRC ... just to keep the Democratic nominee process in chaos, they were urging ReThugs to infiltrate the Dem. caucuses, and open primaries, to vote for Obama as a way to defeat the 'hated Hillary'.

They are pretty damn confident that they can shut Obama down in the GE ... and this Jeremiah Wright stuff is one reason why. Wonder what else they have?

5. i'd love to see these videos splashed all over the MSM

but i'm not holding my breath.

can you imagine if the roles were reversed and this was hillary's white pastor giving sermons like this?

they'd be on TV 24/7 and she'd be called to account for her "spiritual advisor".
