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).

That lgm’s point about Wright being a better American than Cheney because he served is foolish.
Is that ok with you?
You’re asking me?
Sorry I’m late guys. I didn’t realize lgm was recycling the
from the Jimmy Carter post elsewhere on the site. I won’t join in this time since On My Soap Box, Dave T. L. and Brian NY have already done a good job.
#103 - LMAO
You’re the one who asked what my point was.
I normally don’t respond to IGM; usually read his posts and go on. But, what is with him and Dick Cheney? Cheney, as I should remind him, is the Vice-President; a basically useless job with very little political power, if any, at all. He’s the President of the Senate. That’s it, except 1st in line if something happens to the President. He doesn’t debate, or vote, unless there is a tie, or make domestic or foreign policy decisions. One VP said that the job wasn’t worth a “bucket of warm spit”. I agree. John Adams called it the most useless job in the country. So who cares about Cheney? Just the Left in their hatred of Bush. As I said, the job comes with no real political power, so what’s the problem? Usually the VP position is a stepping-stone to the Presidency. Well, last I checked Cheney wasn’t running. Big deal about Dick Cheney!!
Mookie … Rush was 4F as a result of a medical condition …
LMAO— oy! Well, howzabout we puttit this way. Jerry’s income model was built around having a 501 c 3 where he could pass a plate. In the meantime he was supposed to do the clinics, etc— it was part of the scam. And what percentage of his time did he spend dippin a ladle or treating “victims”? eh?
I have probably spent more time on that stuff and I dont have a 501 c 3.
The messed up part about Wright’s psychology and psyche is— in a life supposedly devoted to selfless service, where does he come off damning an entire country? He bites the nose that feeds him (LOL…yes i said that out loud). he bites the hand that makes it possible for him to be a living breathing 501 c 3.
I think he should have his status jerked out from under him— the speech was political….and there are laws agains that.
Hold on a sec. (Image: Bear1909 spitting out a chewed up LGM— little green meatball.)
Buh Bye
That’s why I think lgm is really James Carville. Same MO.
In the Air Force, we used to have a saying along the lines of, “you can earn all the attaboys you want, but all it takes is one ahsh!t to wipe them all out.”
The whole issue about Rev. Wright is not what he has done in the past, it’s about his character now. He may have been a marine, an eagle-scout, worked for the peace corp or spent his youth helping old ladies cross the street (I don’t know if he actually was or did the last three things). To most people who care about character, those acts don’t make up for the fact that he is currently an anti-American, racist.
I know but let’s be honest, it’s a bit of a lame 4F. The point is that he’s more than made up for his lack of service.
The obsession with Cheney (also Rove) comes from the belief that a Republican president can’t possible act out of a set of core beliefs - he’s an idiot don’t you know. So it is explained that he has a mad, diabolical genius pulling his strings - a sort of Lex Luther if you will. For Reagan it was William Casey. For Bush Sr. it was Lee Atwater. Now Bush Jr., he’s extra stupid so he needs two: Cheney and Rove.
Hmmm. Excellent (and quite scary) theory, dejack.
I heard the same rumor. Maybe you meant gull-friend, though.
I’m sure it was just an oversight, but Mrs. Malkin left out the quotation marks for the word “journalist” being used to describe Bill Moyers.
So, who would be the man behind the curtain for Barack Obama?
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…..” the Great OZ
He doesn’t need one because Leftists are so much smarter and operate with good intentions. Even when they bring ruinous harm like Jimmy Carter (sorry I’m still angry about him)to our country they did it with the best of intentions. The more interesting question is who will they assign to be McCain’s brain? He’s not a conservative but they’ll call him one anyway.
Hangfire, the man behind the curtain will be several. Wright and Ayers will be right up front, of course. Ayers for the Education Department. Wright as spiritual advisor. But, when you have a rookie President with no experience other than reading pre-written and approved speeches, you know Pelosi/Reid/Kennedy leadership will be pulling the strings too.
Right now (since I’ll be forced to vote for McCain) I’m happy that Adm. Zumwalt can’t be accused of pulling McCain’s strings since he has passed on to his reward.
When a Conservative didn’t serve in a war the Kerry said was rife with WAR CRIMINALS, liberals are upset.
When Bill Clinton lied to his ROTC guy at Arkansas to get a deferral and then went to MOSCOW FU$%ING USSR during the COLD WAR to protest his own country.
LIBERALS LIKED IT.
He also has Brezinski on as foreign policy - you know - one of the stars of the Carter adm–damn! I did it again. Sorry.
Other than my ‘77 LTD, I can’t remember a single thing I liked about the Carter era.
Less an interview than idol worship. Maybe Moyers will ask for Wright’s autograph.
One thing I remember about the Carter presidency, was earning a salary in a gas line, with a good book. The big boss would ask me to drive his car (Cad)to the Exxon station to fill it, which I glady accepted. Sure read some good books then!
It’s true, lgm did defend Pope Benedict XVI
I’m confused. It says that Wright will be interviewed by a journalist, but all it talks about is him appearing with Bill Moyers. Who will the journalist be?
No thanks. I’m a lesbian.
I think Rev. Wright and Cheney are both lousy Americans. Cheney just got more people killed, and unlike Wright who enlisted, Cheney punked out of going to Vietnam. The only good thing I can say about Cheney is that he appears to be a loving and understanding parent.
Rev. Wright will sink Obama’s candidacy unless he take a trip overseas until like next freakin Thanksgiving or so.
heh? Uhhh. Thanks for sharing…no wonder you and lgm get along so well!
I am sorry, what does you being a lesbian have to do with anything in this thread? Is there a particular authority this title lends you for your absurd argument? Did I miss something?(Feebz gets hit with a ball from left field).
Oh, Brother…(and no, I don’t need to know if you have a brother because I said this….
)
(mistressofmeyhem….)
Okey dokey!!!
The information is in response to your unnecessary crack about LGM and I procreating. Your memory must be better than that.
Perhaps you should check who the crack came from….it may serve your memory better. I just snickered at it.
Life is Beautiful, aint it.
(Feebz cracks her whip)!
Thanx for the info junior. I didn’t know bill and dick both went to Russia during their draft dodging days. I do believe Clinton was only cleared of his offense because of that moron jimmah.

Wright, Murtha, Oswald, McVeigh yep wore a uniform then trashed everything the uniform stood for, nice try lgm.
Forgot one - John Kerry.
Well it sounds like you’re having a rollicking fun time today Feebie. Throw a couple back for me.
Life indeed can be beautiful.
I’m heading home.
(no drinking here, but thanks….throw back your own)
Hey LGM didn’t you know that its faith and not man’s works that makes him a Christian. I have never heard Jackson, or Wright preach the gospel about being born again and repenting of sins. From what I have read and heard Jackson and Wright seems to be more of social workers then actual preachers. Jesus never lamented the Roman gov’t but only preached about saving your soul, heaven and the consequences of living without the personal knowledge of Christ. If you took a list of the fruits of the Spirit you would know that jealousy, bitterness and other poor qualities would slowly drop off on peoples lives if they were really living for the Lord. Jesus said you would know them by their fruit.
So the Jimmy Carter of PBS is interviewing the Rock n Roll racist Rev. Jeremiah Anti-Semite. A match made in hell. I wonder if Bill Moyers will blame the EEEEEEVIL Karl Rove and Fox News for “smearing” Rev. Jeremiah Anti-Semite with the words that the Rock n Roll racist own church put on a DVD? Will someone tell me why my tax dollars pay for this crap?
Geez Feebz! I leave the post for my evening, doctor-prescribed, imbibement and I come back to find you fighting in the sandbox with mistressjustice? For the record, Rev. Wright is indeed a lousy American. I am proud of Dick Cheney’s service to the country. The more the left rails on him the more I think he is doing something right (correct).
lmao
(she started it!) And then carefully insinuated I was a lush.
Feebz Label: “Shakes well, no alcohol needed”…
I proudly declare that I am one! I always believed alcoholism was a reason to keep drinking - not stop.
Not a lush Feebes. Just drinking a few and having a good time. Gee wiz, and you people accuse liberals of victimhood. Lighten up babe.
(#140 - it was a joke)
if i was any lighter, it would be illegal!
You two crazy kids! If I have to separate you there is going to be a spanking (I hope).
As for Jerry Wright I have nothing good to say of the racist, scheming, foul mouthed friend of Islam and Reds so I will say nothing of him at all . Just the kind of guy I am.
But what’s not to like about Dick Cheney? So he had a hunting accident. The man shoots one lousey lawyer and people get all upset. Picky fools.
Is that Little Green Men?
I am thinking more of the 2004 debate with John (channeling dead babies) Edwards absolutely (I’m a scumbag laywer) performance where the Dick took him apart like a fried chicken. Edwards ended the night looking looking like he was anally raped by Karl Rove (magnificant bastard).
lgm,
jimmy carter…
“lancegate”, “billygate”, up to his armpits in the “oil for food” scandal, sucking up to North Korea, supported the Ayatollah Khomeini, gave away the Panama Canal, gas lines, inflation…
Yeah, he was a real peach….
demented fool….
sorry, I fed the troll….
Apropos of lgm’s lame-o postings, here’s some Zen poetry for you:
The troll
And the swoop
And the poop
Are One.
***********
Profound, eh?
I don’t get it–on one hand you say Cheney killed people, then you say he ‘punked out’ of going to Vietnam to kill people. What’s a guy to do?
Yo LGM, Benedict Arnold was a fine soldier too until he committed treason.
The hypocritical leftist’s have no shame as to how far they’ll go to destroy America.
LGM LGM
Isn’t your side of the aisle supposed to hate the troops? All that American imperialism and stuff?
Yeah, I guess if you’re a liberal helping out the one Saturday of the month you weren’t wasted or woke in a stranger’s bed.
That’s what they do nowadays, you know. Do it once, and then go around say how you help others.
And what have you done lately, lgm?
