Was Jeremiah Wright Paid $150,000 to Shut Up?
In a 3 hour taped interview recently, Rev Jeremiah Wright admitted that he was given $150,000 to not speak publicly until after the November election in 2008. He doesn't say where the money came from and he doesn't say Barack Obama knew about it, but it is newsworthy to find out where the money originated and/or did the president, then candidate know about it.
The Lame Stream Media won't touch it. But they do think a high school prank of Mitt Romney's is worth "investigating"...

You know, this is actually interesting.
My next question is why is Wright talking about this now?
Seems all too convenient, but interesting if President Obama knew about or actually gave Wright hush money to not not make Obama look bad.
Interesting and all the more ironic if there is any truth to this.

Don't know about a link but I heard parts of the tape and heard Wright say these things with his own mouth. It's not someone translating what he said. He said it himself.

Re: Was Jeremiah Wright Paid $150,000 to Shut Up?
did he actually receive the $150K or was it just offered?
was it actually offered or was there an implied offer?
I heard parts of the interview on Hannity. The sound quality was poor and I seemed to miss a lot of it.
