When Wright said in his Detroit speech that he was going to have a book out in a few months, I remembered Steve's post from a while ago. http://isteve.blogspot.com/2008/04/obamas-eloquence-deserts-him.html

Even though you are the most underrated political analyst in America Steve, don't let it go to your head.

Obama's chicken is coming home to roost.

Hats off to Steve!

I watched a video clip of Wright and was surprised at his skin color. He is virtually white.
Maybe that causes him to overcompensate.

Good call on the book.

>>>>He denounced those who "can worship God on Sunday morning, wearing a black clergy robe, and kill others on Sunday evening, wearing a white Klan robe."

This reminds me of an analysis of how many black people have been killed by the Klan, Nazis, etc since 1950 (less than 100) and the number killed by other black people ...

I thought of you, too, especially last week when Rush Limbaugh, who is normally a pretty good reader of people's motivations, predicted something entirely different. He believed Wright would be totally remade and that he and his critics would then point and say to us we had been irrational and delusional about him. Two people I respect very much had two very different takes, so I was paying very close attention. I had suspected that you, Steve, would be right because I believe you understand people better than any pundit in America today. It wasn't just blind faith, either; your explanation made sense intuitively and rationally.

I'm not big on conspircacy theories, but I have 2:

1) Shortly before Wright gave his speech reaffirming has anit-American and racist views a phone call was made from a home in Westchester, New York to a bank office in Manhattan, instructing them to wire a significant sum of money to a numbered account in Geneva.

2) The Obama Campaign has begun to realize, since the "bitter" remarks and the 10 point defeat in Pennsylvania, that the only way to regain trcation is to more thoroughly distance the candidate from Wright. Doing so would require some precipitating evnt, and Wright's new comments mark that event. It gives Obama a chance to come out and thoroughly trash Wright, and reject everything he has said in the past.

(1) is not unliklely, but least likely. Or perhaps Wright really is just a press whore. But I think there's a strong possibility off #2 being true. In fact, I'd bet Obama has an "anti-Wright" speech in his briefcase all ready to go.

When I first came across that WaPo piece I was surprised that it didn't read like it was written by a buffoon. Then I noticed that the credit at the end goes to Eric Pianen, not Milbank.

HAve to congratulate Steve for nailing Wright's desire to upstage Obama's presidential campaign for his own publicity at the expense of the presidential campaign. Excellent prediction.

Beyond that, I'm fascinated to see how the many Jew-haters who hang out here will react to the end of this post.

great insight and this time things did turn out the way you predicted

A lot of spec on Obama distancing himself from Wright.

"I can no more disown Rev. Wright than I can disown the Black Community, or my own family."

Those words will haunt him. He can't "distance" himself. He owns Wright.

Obama owes his living to Wright as Senator for Chicago/Illinois. The best he can do is keep his head in the sand and pray for the compliant media to downplay Wright's shenanigans. (A victory dance? Was this where Wright broke out the spoons and gave us a breakdown-flap to banjo-bones accompaniment?)

When people like Wright bubble up to the surface, White America realizes to its horror that there is a Black America out there, and that it is an Other as alien to their outlook and values as the Evil Empire. Their physiological reaction is the same as if they had walked out their doors and saw a tiger in the front yard.

The Democrats had better nominate Hillary, because otherwise whites are going to vote for McCain reflexively as an act of self-defense.

Rev. Wright is the gift that keeps on giving.

It is SO MUCH FUN to point out how ignorant and illogical and just plain crazy so much of "black thinking" is in this country.

Remember the good times we all had exploring Michelle Obama's senior thesis? That was nuthin' compared to Rev. Wright's lunatic rantings. Even better -- just think that ridiculous folks like Cornell West were in the audience nodding and laughing and clapping and "amen-ing" to Wright's speech.

Pathetic.

The "black community" is this country -- with the notable exception of those few blacks who self-consciously reject being lumped into that group (e.g., Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, et al.) -- is a laughing stock. It is truly emabarssing to think they share the label "American."

The fact that you refer to non-Jews as "Jew-haters" says a lot about your perspective.

Yes, you totally called the book and the loose cannon thing. Kudos. Maybe this is why Obama didn't do much to distance himself since his campaign started; he knew Wright would drag him. But that makes explaining his continued presence at Wright's church over the years much more difficult.

I thought of you, too, especially last week when Rush Limbaugh, who is normally a pretty good reader of people's motivations

I caught a snippet of Rush today and he mentioned how surprised he was that Wright was doing so much damage, apparently deliberately. I instantly thought of Steve (for the second time - caught a bit of Wright on the news this morning) and his loose cannon thing, and how stupid Rush is for not reading Steve's blog (surely someone has pointed it out to him by now?).

Here's where I admit that I'm agog, if not surprised, by Wright's behavior. That he just can't keep it in his pants is not a shock at all, but it is a rubbernecking kind of experience.

I avoid talking (not thinking) about conspiracy theories like superman avoids kryptonite, but I had the same thought. O'Rama gets to be the good guy by fire-and-brimstoning ole' fire-and-brimstone.

But, it's too far-fetched and too risky, for too little reward.

Oh! I almost forgot the parallels I noticed today between mainstream black political behavior and white nationalist political behavior. You see a lot of Wright's kind of behavior in WN circles, FWIW.

For a moment I thought about logging in as "Truth"* and letting the air out of your victory by posting, "I'd sure as hell hope you'd make an accurate prediction or two about Obama-Wright, you made a zillion posts on the subject," and maybe add something pithy about stopped clocks.

Instead I'll just preemptively let the air out of his victory. Never said I wasn't spiteful...

*Hand to God, never used a sockpuppet in my life, much less impersonated anyone.

What is most interesting about Wright's speeches is that nobody, including this "anonymous" poster and Steve Sailer, is willing to analyze them. Of course, it's generally indisputable that:

1. Zionism is racism,
2. The Sandinistas were one of the most benign governments in Central America during the 1980s.
3. The goal of most American military actions is to terrorize civilian populations into accepting capitalism.

But Steve & Co prefer just to put the radical views on display and mock them, PRECISELY as liberals do with any public comment that hints at white racism.
