Erikka Yancy | Posted March 21, 2008 | Media

Fox News. You corrupt mouthpiece for a corrupt administration. I usually just ignore you and your leader Rupert Bush, but now you've gone too far. Several days ago you aired a clip of Jeremiah Wright -- Barack Obama's former Spiritual Advisor. The clips you found were incendiary, hateful, and taken...

Hypocrisy in the Public Sphere on Obama's Speech

London - Even on this side of the ocean Barack Obama's speech on his personal Jeremiah has made waves but I see that the usual suspects in the right-wing commentariat are not satisfied: Krauthammer in the Washington Post opinion pages today and Michael Gerson in the same place earlier in...

How Will Hillary's Bosnia "Whopper" Play in the Media?

RJ Eskow | Posted March 21, 2008 | Politics

If you're Hillary Clinton and you've just been caught in a "whopper," the only thing to be grateful for is that it's Good Friday and people are distracted. How bad could this story be for her? When you...

Let Justice Roll Down

Steven Denlinger | Posted March 21, 2008 | Living

"I WAS ABLE TO JEW that guy down to $85," I announced to my father.

I was a young man, and I had just convinced a salesman to cut the price of my purchase in half. It was a momentous event, and I had gone home in triumph to...

Jesus is black. Merging Marxism with Christian Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow. The white church in America is the Antichrist because it supported slavery and segregation. Those are some of the more provocative doctrines that animate...

A new poll from Fox News, the first major poll taken since Barack Obama's big speech on race relations, shows that the effect of the Jeremiah Wright flap might not be so bad after all. By a 57%-24% margin, registered...

Placing Reverend Wright's Sermons In Context

Lonnee Hamilton | Posted March 21, 2008 | Off The Bus

Rev. Jeremiah Wright is a patriot and a man who loves his country.

Fox News has become nothing more than a propaganda arm of the right-wing. Host Sean Hannity is a friend of a known neo Nazi and unfortunately the "conservative agenda" is enmeshed with the "white...

Clinton Ignores Questions About Wright And Superdelegates

NY Times | Patrick Healy | March 21, 2008 10:07 AM

Ever since Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton started running for president, her team has argued that she is more electable than Senator Barack Obama: more experience, as first lady and senator; more spine, after years fighting Republicans; and more popular with...

Some Blues for Mr. Charlie: Obama's Moment of Truth

Rev. Peter Laarman | Posted March 21, 2008 | Politics

It probably had to happen. Maybe better now than later. But still profoundly depressing to see that the practical effect of The Speech was to push down Obama's numbers significantly among Democratic voters, according to Gallup.

I do not fault the candidate for campaigning on the premise of a post-racial...

Let's ask the hard question about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Is he as far outside the African American mainstream as many of us would like to think?... Yes, black people say things about our country and its injustices to each...

Letter to America

Dear America,

Every day I watch the "news" on TV. Everything's breaking, spinning, screaming. The talkers talk and talk in endless circles, in calloused clichés, in hollow, manufactured, regurgitated rhetoric. But they don't talk for me or you.

They reduce race to entertainment, war to sport, politics to reality...

TV Media's Willful Misunderstanding of Barack Obama's Race Speech

Mayhill Fowler | Posted March 21, 2008 | Off The Bus

Cable TV and its various punditocracies don't want a more perfect union. Television news, like all theater, captures its audience through dramatizing conflict. It thrives on discord. Resolution and unity are fifth act business; news shows run in a continuous loop between acts three and four. This generalization is unfair...

Condi Rice's State Department Spies on Barack Obama?

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted March 21, 2008 | Politics

Operatives from one of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's web of privatized contractors within the State Department, which includes Blackwater, on at least three occasions scrutinized Barack Obama's passport information probably in search of something that could be used against him politically in some unforeseen way, and provide ammunition for...

**UPDATED** Politico is reporting on a recently uncovered photo of Bill Clinton and Rev. Jeremiah Wright: The recent coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright has often cast him as a marginal, almost fringe figure, but Trinity Church is a major Chicago...

Religious Bigotry Across the Board

Catherine Crier | Posted March 20, 2008 | Politics

As happens too often these days, I had to watch the satirical shows on Comedy Central to get the bigger picture on the current Obama furor. In Wednesday night's "The Word," Stephen Colbert called out religious leaders on the right for their hate-mongering over the years. I am not justifying...

John Adams: God Damn America

As I alternate between reruns of Jeremiah Wrights "God Damn America" tirade and first-runs of the HBO's John Adams series, I see a surprising connection. Like many of the Revolutionary era, Adams believed that if we weren't careful, God would damn us or at least withdraw his support.

We've heard a great deal this week about the Dalai Lama's 'middle way' political solution to the violence in his homeland. This political 'middle way' calls for Tibetan autonomy within China. But there is another middle way that has dominated the headlines this week. Separated by 40 years and...

The Good Radical Within

Bill Parent | Posted March 20, 2008 | Off The Bus

One of the most interesting things to me about a Barak Obama presidency is that he would bring with him, as an African American, an internalized awareness of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's indignation and anger. It's real stuff. It is shared in some measure by many if not most African Americans...

A McCain campaign aide actively pushed an incendiary, racially-charged video that uses the controversial words of Barack Obama's pastor to tar Obama as unpatriotic -- despite the fact that McCain himself has suggested that Obama shouldn't be held accountable for...

Obama's Theology Of Reconciliation And Perfection

Gene Koo | Posted March 20, 2008 | Off The Bus

While Senator Obama's address on Tuesday has largely been received as a call to national dialogue about race, the 37-minute speech also revealed much about his religious and spiritual views. In it, Obama clearly invokes core Christian principles and beliefs, from original sin to God's grace. "Perfection" was his refrain...
