Wrong Way Wright Quotes

Wow… get a load of these quotes from none other than the Rev Jeremiah
Wright!  He was addressing Monthly Review magazine, (a magazine for
socialists and marxists.)  Do you remember when everyone was asking during the campaign.. “Gee, do you think Obama’s pastor and spiritual mentor might have kind of “socialist leanings”?  LOL There is no guessing now as to his political
leanings… he comes out pretty plain about it. 

Soooo… what would it have been like to have listened to this guy for 20 years?!  Just asking…..

(Monthly Review the Independent Socialist Magazine

REVEREND WRIGHT: “This magazine unflinchingly has tackled the tough
issues from McCarthyism to militarism, from the Chinese revolution
through the Canadian revolution to the Cuban revolution, from the lies
told by United States presidents to the lies told by the United States
media. We celebrate tonight six decades of dedicated service.“



REVEREND WRIGHT: “You stayed up front. Your starting point is, quote, no
nonsense Marxism, unquote. But you dispel all the negative images we
have been programmed to conjure up with just the mention of that word
“Socialism” or “Marxism.”



REVEREND WRIGHT: “Grateful for the opportunity to bring you a word of
Thanksgiving from those who don’t ordinarily get a hearing unless they
go along with the program, sing in tune with whatever is the popular
tune and stay in lockstep with the political pundits who tell us what
is politically correct, what is permissible and what will be tolerated
from a person of color in this land, the land of the greed and the home
of the brave excuse me, the land of the greed and home of the slave.”
(Applause).



REVEREND WRIGHT: “For the people. My work with liberation theology, with
Latin American theologians, with the Black Theology Project and what
the Cuban Council of Churches taught me 30 years ago the importance of
Marx and the Marxist analysis of the sociologies of the vulnerable and
the oppressed who were trying desperately to break free of the
political economies undergirded by this country that were choking them
and cutting off any hope of a possible future where all of the people
would benefit. My exposure to the FMLN in El Salvador, the Sandinistas
in Nicaragua and my presence at the 15th Jamahiriya in Libya taught me
what I have read in the pages of the Monthly Review which is as Joshua
Stanton says, though we need not always agree with one another, we must
do the work necessary to at least understand one another.“
