A Blame America bonanza: Bill Moyers to “interview” Jeremiah Wright
I put “interview” in quotation marks, because this is guaranteed to be more of an echo chamber than anything else. Via PR Newswire:
Bill Moyers Journal to Air First Television Interview With Reverend Jeremiah Wright Since Controversy
NEW YORK, April 21 /PRNewswire/ — The Reverend Jeremiah Wright will be interviewed on PBS this week by Bill Moyers in his first broadcast interview with a journalist since he became embroiled in a controversy for his remarks and his relationship with Barack Obama.
Wright, who retired in early 2008 as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Senator Obama is a member, has been at the center of controversy for comments he made during sermons, which surfaced in the press in March.
The interview with Bill Moyers will air on Bill Moyers Journal on Friday, April 25 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings at www.pbs.org/moyers).

Question #1: Rev. Wright, are you ready to travel to the country of your choice, stand before a US Embassy, and publicly renounce your citizenship?
Question #2: How soon will you leave?
Thank you, and good night.
No no no no, God damn Bill Moyers, God Damn Bill Moyers, it’s right there in th Bible, God damn Bill Moyers.
There, I feel much better now.
Bill Moyers isn’t a GARLIC NOSED ITALIAN is he?
No, he’s just a typical white person.
Could be a good thing. The more Jeremiah Wright opens his mouth, the more exposure he [hypothetically] gets, and the more people can hear his message and wonder how Hussein Obama managed to attend his church for two decades and conveniently never, never, never, ever, never ever, ever never hear such vitriol.
Question:
1. Was JESUS really a po black man?
2. Are you going to be an idiot all of your life or just the rest of it?
#1 –
lol
OR,
Good Luck and Goodnight!
Does PBS have to adhere to the same language standards as all other over-the-air broadcasters? …
If the language gets rough with lots of “G.D this” and “G.D. that” and “G.D. America” being tossed out there on the air waves will the FCC fine PBS and Bill Moyers like they would everyone else? …
Just some food for thought …
There won’t be exposure of Wright, because no one watches Bill Moyers.
Moyers knew Martin Luther King better than anyone else. He had him bugged!
I can hear the questions now:
1. Are you comfortable?
2. How can you survive being oppressed by the evil white man?
3. Are you sure you are comfortable.
4. Can I get you a pillow?
Mwuahahaha! Poor Obama, his preacher just won’t stay quiet…
I see him doing some back-pedaling tonight on behalf of his buddy Obama. It’ll be an attempt to marginalize the comments he’s made in the past. He’ll try to turn them into generalities.
or
He’ll spout off against American and ‘the white man’ as usual and Moyers won’t call him on it.
Either way, I won’t be watching.
P.S. I wonder what type of incentive he was given to persuade him to ‘retire’, and I wonder whose pocket it came from?
I’m sure little Johnny “I’m not bull#%&*ing right now” Farahkahn will be watching and taking notes.
Oh boy! Moyers and Wright! Gotta go buy some popcorn!
Jeremiah Wright is a better American than Dick Cheney. Wright served his country in uniform while Cheney had other priorities. Wright made a career of serving his community (soup kitchens, youth groups, aids clinics) while Cheney, well, you know what I think about his career.
Moyers would make an excellent chief of staff for Wright. I think I’ll avoid a sever case of nausea and miss those two.
Who is he (Wright) serving now lgm? It was never God that’s for certain. But continue with your devil worshipping.
the under handed softball toss begins at 9PM, does anyone really expect Moyers to ask a tough question?
lgm …
Bill Clinton didn’t serve his country either …
Lee Harvey Oswald and many other vile people also served in uniform . . . what’s that got to do with the repulsiveness and detestability of Wright?
rplatt,
It doesn’t. It was yet another lame attempt by lgm at misdirection. He can’t say anything good about Wright with the exception of his service record and I guess that was suppose to be enough to quiet the naysayers…
Now, Michelle, surely you aren’t suggesting that Bill Moyers would do anything besides a straight forward, unbiased and completely objective interview are you?
lgm is the perfect example of the seagull – he just swooped in, crapped all over, and he’s long gone, only to return later and repeat the performance.
Did any of you hearing something? It sounded like “Blah. Blah. Blah.” to me. Hmmmm?
DUR DUR DUR DICK CHENEY DUR DUR DUR NOT RELEVANT DURRRRRRRRRR.
Here are the questions that Reverend Wright should ask to Mr. Moyers:
Mr. Moyers, When you were arrested for drunk driving in Vermont, did you ever think for even one minute about the children walking on the sidewalks or on the side of the road who might have been killed or maimed because of your drunk driving?
Mr. Moyers: Do you think that a car is just a toy for rich guys like you to drive around drunk on the roads of Vermont?
Mr. Moyers: Do you think that Vermont’s drunk driving laws somehow don’t apply to rich media guys like you? Do you think that Vermont’s drunk driving laws only apply to small town farmers in Vermont?
Mr. Moyers: Do you think that you are above the law? Since you complain about the “lawlessness” of conservatives, do you think you too have some obligation to obey the laws?
Do you think it is fair that being so wealthy, you could hire fancy criminal defense lawyers to minmize your punishment?
Finally, one comment to Mr. Moyers from me: As someone who has lost a relative to the drunk driving of somebody just as careless and unconcerned as you were when you flew around the roads in Vermont, I don’t think that your drunk driving is very funny. I bet you and your media friends had quite a few yuks about the hayseed cop in Vermont who arrested you.
For Bill Clinton, lgm, look in the dictionary under “draft dodger”.
All right. Who sprinkled LSD on the french fries? The seagulls are just nuts today.
Wright, Murtha, Oswald, McVeigh yep wore a uniform then trashed everything the uniform stood for, nice try lgm. You know nothing about Cheney except what you read on Kos and Huff. Go to a Soros suported site to have your misinformation orgasm.
I won’t be watching this either and will have to rely on others to report this chance for the Obamination’s spiritual advisor to either confirm his hatred of America or make an attempt with Moyers collusion to make Revered Wright look sane. I can’t bring myself to watch Moyers and his left wing slant, ever!
Dick Cheney served his country in Congress, as Secretary of Defense and as Vice-President, you insufferable horse’s…
lgm, you think you’re this brave clever subversive, and you’re like jimmy carter on a skateboard
There. That is more like a seagull.
Bill Moyers from PBS(a liberal)???? Ha
That should be one terrific interview. Wake me when it’s over.
I had a professor in college that used to make us watch a documentary hosted by Bill Moyers called Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell. My professor hung on every word of Moyers and kept professing how wonderful he was. *blech*
Well, once again, one can count on one’s fingers the number of people who’ll watch it.
BarryF #35 I would prefer to be waterboarded with battery acid than watch Moyers.
Be careful, LGM. This comment thread is chock-full of veterans who served their country in uniform, including yours truly. I was in the Marines when Dick Cheney was SecDef. I would proudly follow him anywhere, anytime.
Doug (CPO), nice one. Not even big enough to be a troll, is he?
Feebz, good to hear from you again. Where have you been?
lgm,
I won’t deny various types of service J. Wright has performed, but can you really say Better American?
Even if that were true in fact, it is not true in perception. How can I say this?
B. Obama has distanced himself quite a ways from Mr. Wright in the hopes of attaining the White House. G. Bush attained the White House twice with D. Cheney at his side.
Does anyone not think that – given the weeks since this whole bru-ha-ha came about – Obama’s camp & Wright haven’t gotten together and pretty much scripted his response to any soft-ball left-wing questioner?
Or am I being too much like a conspiracy-theory left-wing moron for thinking so?
Barry F …
And here I was trying to be nice with that Clinton fact … can’t say for sure what lgm knows about Billy Boy before he became POTUS … but as I said in the Carter thread … since Carter gave amnesty to all the draft dodgers that means we can thank him for the Clinton Administration and all that it worught upon this country …
worught = wrought … finger check
I would go hunting with Dick Cheney.
I would not go bowling with Hussein Obama.
Were I given the choice now to watch it again or be waterboarded, I believe I might have to go with the latter.
I can’t stomach Bill Moyers. His liberal agenda drives everything thing he does in what he calls “journalism”.
ACHefty
You got that right! Semper Fi!
AC – as we used to say, “he wouldn’t make a pimple on a real troll’s behind”
Bill Moyers is supposed to be a jouranlist? Oh, come on!
Facts like that don’t fit into lgm’s arguments, if we can call them arguments, DL.
He is doing some of his better swooping and pooping today.
lgm said:
You know, Benedict Arnold was a war hero until…
(summons up Al Gore impersonation)
…he betraaaayed this country!
LGM
You are lowering the bar way too far. Good point on Cheney weasiling out of going to NAM though.
ACHefty … Semper Fi buddy …
MNUSMCDavid … as for McVeigh … Having lost a relative in the OKC bombing if I could have gotten my hands on him I would have saved the country a lot of time and money disposing of him …
DesertLover
You have my deepest sympathy, belatedly. Would that you could have gotten your hands around his neck, I suspect many more would have had closure much sooner.
mymanpotsandpans said (#32):
I hope you meant this, `cause I admire Jimmah (as people here call him) and love skateboarding.
For the rest of you: Bill Clinton draft dodging is bad while Dich Cheney’s draft dodging is OK?
In an Absolut world:

Bill Moyers Journalto Air First Television Interview With Reverend Jeremiah Wright Since ControversyAbsolut Fulmination
They live in the same ‘gated, white community’.
:):)
I first read this as Bill Maher, now that would have been something.
You guys, give lgm a break. This is the first time he EVER defended a Christian. EVER! Of course, lgm chose to defend a bass ackwards “Christian” if ever there was one.
lgm, Jeremiah Wright is a proselytizer while Dick Cheney is not. Does that make Cheney a better human? I have to know the answer to this one.
MNUSMCDavid
Thanks … my cousin was the last person recovered and has a chair on the lawn next to the pool … we visit it every year …
Bill Moyers, the liberal’s liberal.
I bet lgm was just as distraught as Helen Thomas, when Moyers retired.
Helen Thomas hasn’t NOT been distraught for 8 years.
Well, did Cheney go to another country and protest the US involvement in Vietnam?
lgm …
Cheney had a properly obtained military deferment just like thousands of others did (including 2 cousins of mine) and was never called to active duty … Clinton was called to report and never did … BIG DIFFERENCE …
My old military skivvies have served with more honor than rev. wright’s service to his country and local “church”.
I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than drive with Teddy Kennedy.
I would rather talk to Dr. Ruth about medical ethics than comrade wm clinton about legal ethics.
I’ll put my military service record up against kerry, murtha, wright and lgm’s any day of the week and twice on sunday!
Come to think about it; all the vets on this blog have more Core Values in their pinkies than all the trollettes, and rev. wright combined.
GSP
Helen Thomas in a perpetual state of distress for 8 years? I suppose she has been, JRL.
Will Moyer’s allow Wright to lay out exactly what Black Liberation Theology is? Typical white-wingers already know what type of Church Obama attended for 20 years. Everyday American’s still think Wright was just some angry black pastor that distorted the words of Christianity, and used them to spew hate. That is outrages on it’s on, but I would like the American people to see exactly what type of Religion that Obama has been entrenched in for two decades. The Liberation Theology links back to Ayers, “Communist” organizer, and all of Obama’s “Marxist” ties. Nevermind, I thought I was going to be doing the interview. I doubt Moyer’s will be able to make that point. I do wonder if Obama has set up Wright for a pitiful, tearful apoligy? I don’t think he can.
Thank God Jeremiah Wright is not Catholic!
lgm,
See #57. I am waiting.
P.B.S.= Public Bull Sh*t.
Your tax dollars hard at work folks.
There. That fixed it.
How about a hemorrhoid? He sure is one on mine!
This interview will make news, because it will feature statements the Left feel are true and reasonable, but which of course will also make fair and reasonable people say, “what a minute, that’s not right”, and Obama’s descent will continue.
Jimmy Carter…just sucking up to the terrorists Americans won’t.
Can’t we find an illegal immigrant to do that for him?
(Image: lgm playing hackey-sack with a big turd). Oy.
Hi-dee-ho ACHefty! I just took a little break from posting to clean up a few things on my end.
Glad to be back!
LMAO, Soap, I dont think we should hold our breaths.
Well, I’ve got to run for the day. I was so hoping to see lgm reply to Soap from #57. Maybe I can catch it later on this evening.
Michelle, maybe you need to blog the Moyers interview with Wright for those of us that probably can’t stomach watching it.
I love it when friends point to Bill Moyers as an example of why we need PBS – to do balanced, unbiased reporting and analysis. I have given up trying to straighten out their twisted minds. Glad to know that taxpayers are STILL footing the bill to the tune of over $175MM/year for this dreck.
BarryF #76, you are asking a lot of MM, if she does lets hope her gag reflex is better than mine.
Reverend “so-called” Wright is just another race baiting, guilt peddling, hate filled charlatan looking for some kind of validation from a white man. That has got to be some kind of irony.
If you can’t stomach watching it, why do you want to make Michelle suffer through it?
The only problem would be that someone has to actually watch the show.
Oh, that’s hilarious. As others have pointed out, serving our country, while noble, isn’t the sole measure of a man’s worth.
Laughing at you, lgm, is so easy, even a newbie like me can do it.
Hey there Feebz … good to see you
#15 lgm said:
By your logic, is Timothy McVeigh a better American then Jeremiah Wright?
Timothy McVeigh served his Country in combat, “while Jeremiah Wright had other priorities.”
Timothy McVeigh:
-McVeigh was a decorated veteran of the United States Army, having served in the Gulf War, where he was awarded a Bronze Star.
-McVeigh had been a top scoring gunner with the 25mm cannon of the light-armored Bradley Fighting Vehicles used by the U.S. 1st Infantry Division to which he was assigned.
-McVeigh completed the Primary Leadership Development Course.
-McVeigh entered the program for training to become a Green Beret.
-McVeigh was given his final honorable discharge from the Army reserve in May, 1992.
Hey Desert!!!
Question #1: “Reverend” Wright. How long will you be able to survive in such opressive living conditions? You know, the 10,000 sqaure foot house in the gated community that is 95% white?
Question #2: Can you tell us more about the opressiveness of your early life. You know, growing up in suburbia, attending good schools. All the things that the really poor blacks didn’t have that you did.
Question #3: How big of a buffon is Obama? Really big or off the chart?
Oh my!!!!!
On-my-soap-box said (#57):
Not true. Just the other day I defended another Christian who was treated badly on an MM thread, the Pope.
Christians proselytizing other Christians — bringing them back to their faith — is fine with me. Please don’t try it on young Jewish children against their parents’ wishes.
Yes, Wright’s good works outweigh Cheney’s.
WHAT??!!!
lmao
By the way, what does “lgm” stand for, Mr. Carville?
HAHHHAAHHAAAHHAAAAA
Every time you post you make yourself look more stupid (if that were possible). Christians don’t proselytize Christians. If they are Christians, they already follow Christ and there is no need.
Your kids daddy has to believe there is a GOD before he can be offended and pass on his offense.
You may stand alone on that one. Now, you are GOD and can judge a mans works. Your hate for Cheney is all you have to compare the two. Your hate is so deep, you will choose a Christian over the VP and you hate Christians. You defended the Pope against what? Just so you could make your dufuss remarks. ROFL you crack us all up.
feebz,
Looks like lgm has a girlfriend! Lets hope they don’t reproduce!
#92 – shhhh, don’t put that out there…lmao.
soap and feebz … that is one scary thought …
Moyers may surprise…don’t rule it out…
Wouldn’t you know it! The night I straighten my sox drawer. Oh well, life is full of little disappointments.
But Bill Moyers, Mr. Civil Rights-White Guilt, wasn’t always so. At the Adams Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona in the 1964 Presidential race he got quite a chuckle with the line “Barry Goldwater the whiteman want to be”. Just what do you think Bill Moyers, Mr. Civil Rights-White Guilt, was referring to?
Isn’t Rush a draft dodger?
What’s your point?
wth?
According to this type of reasoning, McCain is the better American than Obama and Hillary put together. McCain served in battle, kept his honor as a POW, and went on to retire as a Captain in the Navy after a 23 year career. He has two sons currently serving in the military, one a student in Annapolis, the other in the Marines.
Barack Hussein Obama AND Hillary Clinton, never wore a military uniform a day in the life. Nor has anyone in their immediate family (except for BHO’s grandfather, but that was over 60 years ago.)
Glad to see you are a McCain supporter.
