Jeremiah Wright -- Attempts to back away from 'them Jews' remark
Jeremiah Wright, who apparently enjoys the taste of his shoes. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who was a center of controversey during the 2008 Presidential campaign, is coming under scrutiny once again, for comments he made about "them Jews."
He told a Detroit newspaper that he had not talked to Barack Obama because "Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me."
From an article at the New York Times:
We’re sure that President Obama and his Jewish advisers will be happy to know that Mr. Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., has “clarified” his remark to The Daily Press of Newport News this week — that he had not spoken to the president because “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me.” This seemed to be a reference to the likes of Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff and David Axelrod, the senior presidential adviser.
But today, Mr. Wright said during an appearance on the Sirius/XM radio program “Make it Plain with Mark Thompson” that he “misspoke.” He said he was not talking about “all Jews.” Or, that he was only referring to “Zionists.’’ Or, that it all had to do with Israel’s history with the Palestinians. O.K., we give up. You can hear his answer for yourself at www.sirius.com/politicaltalk.
In the original interview with the Daily Press, which caught up with him at a minister’s conference, Rev. Wright said “them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me” after he was asked whether he had spoken with his former church follower, Mr. Obama.|
