Rev. Jeremiah Wright Still Has Little Regard For Obama's Candidacy
 

If we're already talking about it, it's not an October surprise, per se, but it is an "October potential disaster." It's rumored that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, oh he of excellent timing, will release a book and start a book tour the month before GODDAMN America decides whether or not to make his former congregant president. We have quite a bit of denouncing and rejecting ahead of us. [WAOD]

UPDATE: Columnist Roland Martin spoke to Rev. Wright's daughter, who said that the pastor, who is currently in Ghana, has no plans to publish a book or go on a book tour. She said her dad will issue a formal statement about the rumor, the most recent incarnation of which originated in New York Magazine, when he returns to the states.

I wonder if he forgot that he is supposed to be a "Man of God" and should be more worried about saving souls and helping the community instead of trying to bring down one man.

And churches wonder why people aren't joining. *rolls eyes*

Glad to say this isn't true…whew! Roland Martin just reported that Rev Wright's daughter said this was a false report and Rev Wright also denied it but said he couldn't respond to the story immediatly because he was/is in Ghana and doesn't have immediate access to email.

rev wright has every right to release his book whenever he damn well pleases. its called freedom of speech. and why do you assume that he was deliberately timing his book release to somehow sabotage obama? seems like obama's supporters are getting a little paranoid/hysterical over this. of course, the way that obama publically renounced him and his church, it would be a little insane for rev wright to remain loyal to obama to the point where he moves his books release date.

i'm looking forward to his book, and think it's even more important for it to be released around the election, as obama's campaign has pushed aside many issues important to the black community and america might need to be reminded that yes, racism still exists.

It looks like Obama got to Rev. Wright and he is scrapping the book tour after all. Not WRIGHT for America goes over the evidence to support this at http://www.notwrightforamerica.com.

Nothing can derail Obama. It's simply his destiny. The Rev. is irrelevant and he knows it.

IT IS NOT TRUE STOP SPREADING RUMORS!!

Just so you idiots know, Wright has been writing books for years and years before any of you knew who Obama was or what a Barack Obama was.

I support Obama but I am not stupid enough to buy into the media propaganda that was feed to the masses.

Go take your lazy sorry behinds over to Amazon and look up Wright's books which are all very inspiring. He is a prominent mininster and has no time for Obama. The only reason why he stepped forward to say anything in the first place is because he was dragged in by a racist white maninstream media!

Wright had a no interview policy prior to that!

I thought some people who have more sense but it seems like that is not the case.

I bet half of you don't even possess the intelligence to be able to undertsand what he even said in his speech back in April @ the NPC.
