Well, this is interesting.
It seems that Jeremiah Wright’s appearance at the National Press Club yesterday came about thanks to a Clinton supporter:
Obama’s campaign has disavowed Wright’s media tour, and a correspondent notes an interesting detail:
Wright was invited to the National Press Club by a journalist and minister who supports Clinton.
The Tribune reports that Wright was invited by Barbara Reynolds, a former USA Today editorial board member who has written on personal blog of her support for Clinton.
I don’t mean to suggest some kind of plot. Her agenda here seems to have been the same as Wright’s: To protect the minister’s reputation from, among others, Obama.
“[I]t is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray the Senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement instead of respecting Wright for the towering astute father of progressive social and global causes that he is,” Reynolds wrote in March.
Reynolds’ is well placed to defend Wright. Her bio says she teaches “prophetic ministry and the media” at Howard University’s divinity school.
Just one of those things that make you go hmmmm……..
