bill moyers is in the first stages of alzheimers. he forgot that rev. wright hates ALL white people. America has been good to wright. look at his wealth. why would wright buy a home in a rich white neighborhood if he hates them so much. wealth and prestige is his priority, his agenda is to keep the racial fires burning. this is how he makes his money.

Ahhhh yes . . . Bill Moyers, the ultimate liberal apologist!

Thank you Bill Moyers for providing a rational and calm forum for Jeremiah Wright to be presented as human being, a descent one at that. In a world ruled by lies, truthfulness is a form suicide.
But as Mr Wright put it:
Goin' down to the railroad
put my head on the tracks
Goin' down to the railroad
put my head on the tracks
When the locomotive comes
I'm gonna pull my fool head back

If looking for hate,truthman, all you need to do is join the Dobson, Robertson or John Hagee ministries -- none of whom served this country in Vietnam, btw.
Bill Moyers is one the most reasonable and decent journalists around - he looks and talks as someone whom I would trust. And he makes some excellent points about Rev. Wright.

Bill Moyers is slowly developing alzheimers. Maybe ol Bill should join wrights church of hate.

All you need to know is: HE was a marine. HE served the president personally. HE paid service to his country.

BLT = MarxismWhen I first heard Black Liberation Theology I knew it was just an offshoot of Liberation Theology from Central America a mix of Marxism&Christianity, coupled with Ayers, ACORN,&B.O. was in the New Party, a self professed Socialist group, a Marxists pattern was emerging. Frank Marshall Davis a mentor to B.O. in Hawaii also held a Marxists worldview. Obama has been imbibing this stuff for decades it has shaped his worldview, "redistribution of wealth." Freudian Slip?

That is not always the case, His interview with Obama was resectful, did any of you even bother to watch it? I did, I had to keep taking sips out of a bottle of pepto-bismol to stomach it, but I learned something...

Moyers is a poindexter anyway. Wright is a hatemonger.

If PBS was a chic, she would be more liberal than, Susan Sarandon, Jane Fonda, and Oprah... all put together!

That is YOUR definition. It is racist to say that blacks have no power. By repeating that they have NO power over and over again keeps them down. They need to have faith in themselves to move on.

Rev. Wright can say what he wants to say. However, he is racist and his parishioner of 20 years is running for the Presidency. I will not vote for Obama. His association with Rev. Wright tells me that his thinking is about the past not the future.

I agree too! That makes four of us.
And no, Fox wouldn't have none of it. Bill'O will ask a question, won't allow us to answer, call us crazy, and then commercial break.
I say we're better than Fox though. We don't need to tell any of them our opinions to get our opinions out there.

I don't agree with your definition of 'racism', but otherwise, I'm 100% with you. I found nothing wrong with Wright's comments and most certainly there was nothing racist about them, either in his interview with Moyers or in that sermon that so many heard a short soundbite from.
Changeis9 (June 28, 2008 at 2:54 am)
wow. well done making the connections.

I wonder what it would take to get those of us that agree with Rev. Wright to get on Fox Noise and actually be allowed to finish a sentence as we shared our thoughts with the world.
dtwan1234 (June 24, 2008 at 5:43 am)
Me too i agree with Rev Wright!!!!
michaelxny (June 23, 2008 at 2:50 pm)
Um, I think Moyers was just talking about race and he managed to not say anything racist.
denechek59 (June 22, 2008 at 3:53 pm)
I happen to agree with Rev. Wright...
