SOROS' POLITICO Sells Jesse Jackson and Rev, Wright

Jesse Jackson says hits on Jeremiah Wright pain him

Politico ^ | May 21, 2012 | Tim Mak

Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson defended Monday controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright, saying that it was a “source of pain” to see him criticized in the media.

“I know it’s a source of pain for me to see him used as an object of degradation and manipulated the way he’s been used the media as if he’s some sort of enemy of the state. It’s not fair and it’s not true,” said Jackson on MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown.” “It pains me to see him used as an object of degradation.”

Jackson said that Wright had developed an influential ministry, one that was being overlooked because of some of his controversial comments.

“I remember when parents were kicking their youth out of houses, called AIDS a kind of leprosy, he had a ministry. I remember when gays were being in isolation and committing suicide, he had a gay ministry,” said Jackson.

“His ministry has been a most profound one. That’s why people like a young Barack Obama and Michelle would go to that church, because it was such a well ministered church,” he added.
