The Farrakhan Zionism Clip and Reverend Wright at the Press Club

So I read a few of the reports on Reverend Wright and especially to search for the now notorious episode at the Press Club, where reportedly he went nuts during the question answer session.

Luckily, in his Wiki profile, I found reference No. 48 linking to the NYT transcript.

I also found his military record and how Wright was at Bethesda and took care of President Johnson and all of that, and this man and his family have a long history with the country, I dont think we can just blow him off.

Also he has a constituency and not just like Ross Perot for one election season, he has been maintaining a church constituency for over 20 years and if he had been an outright loon, we might have heard of him sooner.

Barry on the hand, sounds like a typical politician, all wriggling and expediency.

We thought he was all charisma and rhetoric and when the going got tough, he is trying to wriggle out.

so anyways, I am looking for the Press Club transcript and as far as I can see, there is a lot that is transcendent, there is some that is angry, but a lot of people white and black and asian are angry, angry is no reason to lose your nerve, angry means something is wrong and maybe somethings need to be corrected.

But there is one point where Wright looks like he is getting agitated and worked up, and interesting thing is that it wasnt even the Moderator who brought it up, it was Wright himself and it was the Z word for Zionism.

Also I would like to say, I would like to find out who is the Moderator, but maybe I didnt look hard enough. Also the moderator made it a point to let audiences know that the applause was not necessarily from what he/she referred to as the working press but guests or somebody, presumably Wright supporters.

Wright also made humorous and ironic references to that mention, but that is an aside.

The interesting thing is how the Z word came to be mentioned and it is not pretty, so if you can't stand un pretty, better stop reading now.

This is one of the items I would like Barry Obama and the legions on his side to please comment in detail.

So the moderator asks about Farrakhan and this is what Reverend Wright has to say:
Let's note, the moderator only asks about Farrakhan and did not mention any Z word, the moderator says:
MODERATOR: What is your relationship with Louis Farrakhan? Do you agree with and
respect his views, including his most racially divisive views?

And this is the interesting part, where it looks like Wright goes a little agitated and worked up and brings up the Z word, and then tries to bring Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu et al into it.

Now I did not know that news stations had been broadcasting a certain Farrakhan clip over and over again, but apparently they had and apparently the clip included the Z word, used in a real weirdo way.

Let's see what Wright said: REVEREND WRIGHT: As I said on the Bill Moyers' show, one of our news channels keeps playing a news clip from 20 years ago when Louis said 20 years ago that Zionism, not Judaism, was a gutter religion. And he was talking about the same thing United Nations resolutions say, the same thing now that President Carter is being vilified for, and Bishop Tutu is being vilified for. And everybody wants to paint me as if I'm anti-Semitic because of what Louis Farrakhan said 20 years ago.

So that was what the transcript referred to, Wright said, that Farrakhan had said Zionism is a gutter religion, and Wright believed, that it was referring to ***the same thing*** United Nations Resolutions, the same thing President Carter is being vilified for, and Bishop Tutu is being vilified for. And Wright complained that he is being painted as anti Semitic becoz of what Farrakhan said 20 years ago.
