My mom called me the other day and asked me what I thought about Rev. Wright. She said he sounds just like me and Ron Paul!
I hardly ever watch TV News, but I do get to hear in small doses the CIA's AM Talk Radio products when I'm in my car. And Operation-Reverand Wright has been amazing! They (Hannity/Limbaugh/Jerry Doyle/etc.) respond to the good Rev EXACTLY the way they reacted to hearing the truth from Ron Paul. They've been told to play--or they can't help themselves from playing--endless clips of the Rev. and when they hear the history of the U.S.'s crimes, they can only snicker and tick nervously as though just hearing the litany of U.S. war crimes instantly induces upon them a form of Turetts syndrome.
Remember in the debates Guliani's eyes popping and his reflexive cackling when Ron would explain the history of the 1953 overthrow of democratically elected Mossedeq? Remember Romney's cognitively dissonant blank stare when Ron asked Romney to put himself in the shoes of the Arabs and consider what it would be like for China to have permanent military bases in Texas and aircraft carriers off of both of our coasts? For 2 months solid, the AM radio talk show hosts have been playing kick-ass riffs from the good Rev (often in context) and then snickering Beavis-like--never addressing a single of the Rev's points.
I think that properly handled, a formal public alliance with the Rev. in the form of a revival of the old Anti-Imperialist League ( http://www.antiwar.com/orig/bender.php?articleid=4335 ) could be great for the cause and it might do a lot to heal the ripping wounds to the movement caused by Ron's foolish tolerance of Rockwell/Rothbard's lousy editorship of the racist newsletters that went out under his name in the 1990's. And the racist newsletter issue is what sunk this movement when Ron stammered to Wolf Blitzer the day before the NH primary.
A new Anti-Imperialist League with Ron Paul and Rev. Wright as the co-founders could be a silver/magic bullet event for our cause. Other true anti-imperialists on the left (Kucinich, Nader, etc.) and right (Buchanan, Rev. Chuck Baldwin, Alex Jones, etc.) could get involved as charter members.
If Alex Jones can be Ron Paul's friend, then why not Rev. Wright? Actually, from what I've read and heard from Rev. Wright blasting non-stop in the press and on AM talk radio, I've found much, much less questionable Alex Jonesy kind of stuff than you get from Alex Jones himself. And when it comes to reciting the criminality of the U.S. empire, Wright blows Alex Jones away.
A move like this could be a silver bullet kind of event that could finally unite the anti-statist sentiments of the libertarian right and the peace and freedom oriented left. Maybe it would lead to Baldwin's party, Nader, Cynthia McKinney's greens, and the libertarians all transferring their party's nominations to a Ron Paul/Kucinich 3rd parties ticket.
If the Revolution doesn't reach out to and gain alliance from the left, (especially when they're doing our act better than us in some cases such as Rev. Wright) we're doomed. Let's make an alliance with Rev. Wright and soon Hannity and Limbaugh won't be able to stop themselves from playing endless kick-ass Ron Paul riffs on their shows again!
