(i had a similar thought crossed my mind when Wright went from basically hiding and canceling speeches to suddenly doing a media blitz that he felt betrayed and wanted to burn now Barack's campaign.. but now that Hillary's people may have had a hand in this is an intriguing a disturbing possiblity)

Gimme Some Truth
UPDATED: Jeremiah Wright - Hillary Supporter?
Posted 4/30/2008 9:44 AM CDT
No sane man, who is an Obama supporter, would do what Jeremiah Wright has done in the last week. Many pundits are saying he's an ego maniac, he's been swept up, he's trying to pay for his new house, blah, blah. After thinking about it, I disagree. This was deliberate, planned and timed to inflict maximum damage to Obama. Think about it. What could Wright do to get maximum attention? Answer: speak at the National Press Club, with a large group of supporters present, and with Nation of Islam security on stage with you. Make inflammatory statements, dredging up every outrageous thing you've ever said, and inflating them even more. Be cocky, arrogant, and rude. Make sure that the Nation of Islam guy is in the background of every shot. Scare people to death.
Wright's not crazy. He supports Hillary. It is well known that Wright knows the Clintons. He went to the White House during the Clinton administration. I now believe that he is a Hillary supporter and either did this on his own or was goaded into acting by a supporter. I don't know if he's in communication with the Clinton campaign itself, but I wouldn't be surprised.
This was intentional to hurt Obama, and it sure is working.
UPDATE:
Several of my readers have posted great comments confirming this story. Apparently, it's true that Barbara Reynolds, a loyal Hillary supporter, arranged the event, brought the supporters, sat with him, and possibly coached or goaded Wright to make the statements that he did. If the Hillary campaign wasn't involved, it would be a miracle.
If this story is true, the media should jump all over it. Hillary might even get splattered with a little of her own mud. For once.
