JEREMIAH WRIGHT'S TRUMPET

By Charlie Sykes

Via Powerline:

Jeremiah Wright founded Trumpet Newsmagazine in 1982 as a "church newspaper" primarily for his own congregation, but apparently also for others in need of regular doses of radical politics sugarcoated with biblical references. Stanley Kurtz reviewed the 2006 issues of the magazine for his Weekly Standard article "Jeremiah Wright's 'Trumpet.'"Would Barack Obama have been familiar with its contents? Kurtz surmises:

It seems inconceivable that, in 20 years, Obama would never have picked up a copy of Trumpet. In fact, Obama himself graced the cover at least once (although efforts to obtain that issue from the publisher or Obama's interview with the magazine from his campaign were unsuccessful).

Those two are done tearing each other down in the media already? Blew over huh? Nothing but a show to quell Clinton's resurgence. Secretary of State Jeremiah Wright? No, no, no! Ambassador to Israel Jeremiah Wright! Secretary of Indefensible?

Seems to me this "Trumpet" has blown enough for everyone to get the picture. Time for taps to sound on this one!
