Discussion about
This has nothing to do with NY RE, but since the media hardly reports this stuff, I will. If a Repub or Conservative said this, he'd be tarred, feathered & finished. Double standard. "Zionist" is lefty speak for "oops, don't alienate Jews in the Democratic Party". Thanks for reading: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23642.html By ANDY BARR | 6/11/09 Rev.

Rev. Wright: I meant 'Zionists'
Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Thursday tried to step back from a controversial comment he made earlier in the week, explaining that when he said “them Jews” were keeping him from getting access to President Barack Obama he meant to say “Zionists.”
“I misspoke. Let me just say Zionists.” Wright told Sirius/XM radio host Mark Thompson on “Make it Plain.”
Wright tried to explain that the comment was a reference to Jewish authors and “historical facts.”
“I’m not talking about all Jews, all people of the Jewish faith, I’m talking about Zionists,” he said. “I’m talking about facts, historical facts. I’m not talking about emotionally charged words.”
“They can jump on that phrase if they want to, but they can’t undo history and they can’t undo the fact of Jewish historians and Jewish theologians who write about what’s going on,” he added.
During an interview with the Daily Press posted on the newspaper’s site Wednesday, Wright claimed that he is being blocked from speaking with Obama, a former member of Wright’s congregation.
“Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me,” Wright told the paper. “I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office.”
“They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is,” he added. “I said from the beginning. He’s a politician, I’m a pastor. He’s got to do what politicians do.”

dwell, as I've said before - you're an idiot.
It's well documented that Rev. Wright is pretty racist. Is this news to you? Is Rev Wright even a politician? Who gives a flying fuck what Rev Wright says? Is he in Obama's cabinet? Is he a senator? congressman? President? No, so STFU.
If you want to spew this garbage, just leave your comment on Politico. Nobody here gives a shit.

Right-wing Republicans are disgusting. I would be embarrassed to admit to being a Republican in Manhattan.
We could all dig up racist comments from those on the right if we wanted to. How do you even know Wright is a lefty?

PS.
IF I was in the mood to read about who is doing what on the right-side and who is saying what on the left side, I would log onto politico and and read myself.
WHY must they be blended? I don't want to be bothered by this right-wing/left-wing crap most of the time. If I were in the mood...I would log onto politico with the rest of the crazies..don't worry.

justalefty: you are right
it does suck when you can only be a racist if you are politically conservative.
Banning anti-semites is ok as long they don't go anti-idiot, wouldn't be fair.
It's probably more important that you don't prove you're an idiot, instead of just admitting you're a repub or dem.
disclaimer, I'm only 25% jew, so my opinion only counts so much about anti-semitism.

If you know it's not a NYC RE issue, why are you writing about it on this website?

This thread is borderline offensive and potentially inciteful. It should be expunged.

dwell why not mention the following, all fomented by right-wing talk radio, fox news and even the titular heads of the republican party:
the murder of abortion doctor in kansas
the shooting at the holocaust memorial
the ambush and murder of 3 police officers in pittsburgh
the murder of a jewish student in connecticut
all the wackos who committed these crimes spouted the same rhetoric heard daily on fox "news", dust lintball(i mean rush limbaugh, drug addict and serial adulterer) and the mouth of the supreme idiot from alaska sarah palin. apparently the election of an african-american is stirring your inner racist.
