Daily Show: Billy Graham vs. Jeremiah Wright

By: SilentPatriot on Thursday, May 1st, 2008 at 6:00 PM - PDT

Continuing to be the most respectable name in (fake) news, The Daily Show put Wright’s comments in context last night…well, in the context of controversial things former pastors of all stripes and presidential allegiances have said over the years. Kinda odd that only a Democrat comes under fire, no?

“Billy Graham remains a beloved figure. Jeremiah Wright said things I don’t imagine are much worse than that. Why is he such a flashpoint for controversy?”

The more I see of Jeremiah Wright clips on "The Daily Show" the more I like him. He really would have made a good comedian. His impersonations, especially of stuck-up white news commentators are spot on. Obama is showing a lack of class by distancing himself from him. But that is just my opinion.

What is more to the point, as host of the netcast show "Antiwar Radio" Scott Horton points out, is this emphasis on Wright to the virtual exclusion of everything else -- more so to the exclusion of things that are actually important to Americans and the future, is a sure sign that someone somewhere is deliberately fucking with Americans' heads.

This is said towards the end of the show, btw.

I've tried to make a similar point here as well, the smearing/swiftboating of Obama via even his associates (why don't they try that on Hillary or McCain - plenty of muck there!) is evidence that Obama must be a threat to the status quo. And Hillary's attack (separate from MSM) is evidence she is fine with a double-drowning that elects McCain.

What is it about 3 degrees of separation from someone that you don't understand? Obama's ex-pastor who quoted from someone else; a quote from the 1970s!

What is it about this smear campaign, orchestrated by the War Party to make Obama out to be an extremist anti-Semite that you don't understand?

i don't see the 3 degrees of separation. he attended the church for 20 years and further, Obama can't separate himself from his own writings and orations. he's only doing it now, separating from Wright and flipflopping, because he's doing what's expedient for him politically. certainly his hypocrisy can't be denied.

p.s. ALL politicians do this.

robnoel posted some quotes from a man from whom Wright quoted (that is the 3 degrees I was referring to).
Obama was a member of a congregation that Wright was the respected pastor of for 30 years. A church that was known for its good works in the local community.

Obama has been forced to separate himself because of the media circus over Wright. A totally unfair circus. The quotes from Wright (not the quotes from the person Wright quoted that robnoel posted) have been taken out of context, blown out of proportion by the media and repeated over and over.

Obama is running for president, not Wright!

When did the media ever care about what someone's pastor said at some point in 30 years of preaching! Never! They had to go through hours of sermons to find snippets to use against Wright - and then somehow make it against Obama. And Fox News, O'Reilly and Limbaugh are leading the charge. Can't you smell the BS?!

Hillary and McCain have much stranger and exotic religious connections than Obama but the media is silent.

And when Ron Paul did not come out on the side of 9/11 Truth was he not being politically expedient? We all understood.

yes, he was....and if you recall, i was one of his biggest criticizers for that. i hate the political game of saying what's politically expedient. maybe i'm being naive, but i say go for broke. speak truth to power. it's late enough in the game that we the people have nothing left but that. we'll never win any other way.

No one will get elected without playing at least some politics. And I'm sure if you were to examine presidentially races historically, you would find the same thing.
