'I Think the Racists in the Right Wing are Upset Because Poor People are About to be Helped'

He's baaaaack! Frothing left-wing maniac and good pal of Barack Obama, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is helping bring us all together. Obama must love this coming on the heels of the departure of Communist Truther Van Jones.

Come to think of it, from what I've seen in the past, Wright didn't seem to be all that upset post-9/11.

Well, another of Obama's chickens is coming home to roost.

COLBY: Health care reform quickly becoming the make-or-break issue for this presidency, and sources are saying the White House is planning to draft its own bill to make sure that reform happens. And just when you thought the debate could not get any more heated -- you've seen those town halls -- enter Reverend Jeremiah Wright!

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So what do you think about the health care bill?

REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT, PRES. OBAMA'S FORMER PASTOR: I think the racists in the right wing are upset because poor people are about to be helped.

COLBY: So shocking it is, I'm going to play it for you again.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So what do you think about the health care bill?

WRIGHT: I think the racists in the right wing are upset because poor people are about to be helped.

COLBY: I'm joined again by Marc Lamont Hill and Amanda Carpenter. Marc, let me start with you. The Reverend Wright -- we haven't heard much about him. Now he's speaking out, to all places, TMZ, on health care reform. What's going on?

CARPENTER: Well, I mean, I love Jeremiah Wright sincerely, but he is the gift that keeps on giving for Republicans. Obama's against the ropes right now. He's had perhaps the worst month of his presidency in August. There's this grand narrative getting stronger and stronger about him being an outsider and a socialist and all these other things. And then Jeremiah Wright comes back into the picture. It's not a good thing for the Obama administration.

I think, though, that Jeremiah Wright is absolutely correct, you know, that issues of poverty, issues of race have to be injected into a conversation about health care reform.

Not being a psychotic racist like Wright, I'd like to add that I have no problem with anyone receiving health care, be they left or right. What I do not want is the government meddling with my own care and insurance. That doesn't make me racist, but it does put me in the majority.

By the way, since nobody in the media seems interested, I'd like to know how Obama's search for a new church is going?

Update: Since there's some confusion from the quoted transcript as noted in the comments, here's the entire segment from FNC last night. The last quote attributed above to Amanda Carpenter really was from Marc Hill.
