Wright is Wrong
By Rich Galen
An increasingly anxious Obama campaign had to have been
watching in horror as Jeremiah Wright continued to elbow
his way onto the national political stage with his per-
formance at the National Press Club in Washington the
other day.
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank short-handed Wright's
remarks as follows: "Wright praised Louis Farrakhan,
defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the
United States of terrorism, repeated his belief that the
government created AIDS to extinguish racial minorities,
and stood by his suggestion that 'God damn America.'"
Louis Farrakhan is the head of the Nation of Islam and
has said things like: "Do you know some of these satanic
Jews have taken over BET [Black Entertainment Television]?
... Everything that we built, they have. The mind of Satan
now is running the record industry, movie industry and
television."

And that wasn't 10 years ago. It was five months ago in
November of last year.
After claiming that the oft-viewed clips of his sermons
were taken out of the context of 30 years of preaching,
Wright is now - with, as the Chicago Tribune called it,
"caustic sarcasm" - defending those very snippets and
putting them very much into context.
On the campaign trail, Sen. Barack Obama said of Wright,
"He does not speak for me. He does not speak for the
campaign."
Obama is wrong. In the minds of many - if not most -
Americans, Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama are very
connected, spiritually and politically.

The Boston Globe's Joseph Williams wrote:
A series of high-profile appearances by [Wright] defending
some of his more racially charged remarks threatened to
undermine Obama's campaign just when he is trying to con-
nect with white, working-class voters on the eve of crucial
Democratic primaries in North Carolina and Indiana.
And Obama doesn't need any more problems on the white,
working-class voter front. Obama tried to shake the
"elitist" tag a couple of weeks ago by going bowling,
at which he was dreadful. Jell-O mold to the K of C
Hall. For the annual Founder's Day Pot Luck Dinner.
The other day he threw a verbal gutter ball by saying:
"I was raised in a setting with my grandparents who grew
up in small-town Kansas where the dinner table would have
been very familiar to anybody here in Indiana: A lot of
pot roasts and potatoes and Jell-O molds."
So … he was describing his grandparents' dinner table in
small-town Kansas. The pot roasts and Jell-O molds and
all. Was Obama faced with pot roasts and Jello-O as well?
I … don't … think … so.
And, we must assume, this was the same grandmother whom,
Obama told a world-wide audience, damned-near fainted at
the sight of Black people; "a woman who once confessed
her fear of Black men who passed by her on the street."
In that small-town in Kansas. As she carried her famous
pot-roast.

That description was typical of an elitist, Ivy-League-
educated, snobbish, pretentious dope who thinks Hoosiers
still sit in front of their black-and-white TV sets
watching Howdy Doody reruns while waiting for their Jell-O
molds to set up in the Frigidaire.
Here's the thing: I was Congressman and Senator Dan
Quayle's press secretary. I spent a lot of time in Indiana.
I'm not certain I ever saw a pot roast or a Jell-O mold.
I did see a potato. But, it didn't have an "e".
Jeremiah Wright is basking in the glow of the national
spotlight; the spotlight which has been denied him lo
these many years in favor of fellow Chicagoan Jesse
Jackson and New Yorker Al Sharpton.
Jeremiah Wright is working out the decades of frustration,
having attempted to do good works for the poor and under-
served in Chicago while Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have
been on the national stage in top hats and tails like Gene
Wilder and Peter Boyle singing "Puttin' on the Ritz."
But the unkindest cut of all comes, again, from the Dana
Milbank piece: "Most problematic for the Democratic
presidential front-runner was Wright's suggestion that
Obama was insincere in distancing himself from his former
pastor. 'He didn't distance himself,' Wright announced.
'He had to distance himself, because he's a politician.'"
Maybe, on that, Wright was right.
