Obama's preacher, the 'crazy uncle'

Hillary just got a royal flush to drop on the river card. I'm sure she was well aware of Jeremiah Wright's unbelievably racist rhetoric and now, she's set to take advantage.

Racist? Try this on for size.

The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people,” he said in a 2003 sermon. “God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.

The "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright

More can be found here. This guy is about three croutons short of a salad. How can white people vote for a man whose pastor of 20 years hates them virulently? Sure, Obama repudiates his words NOW, but why not a month, a year, or four years ago? Remember, this hatemonger married Barak and Michelle and baptized his children! He had to be in those pews for some of these hate-filled rants, right?

How about this one, where he blames US for 9/11?

We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001. "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost

I'd like to dissect this point by idiotic point. For one, Wright, did you not forget Pearl Harbor? While the war was largely over, Japan was not going to surrender. The atomic bombs, though horrible, saved thousands of American lives lost in an invasion of Japan. State terrorism against the Palestinians? What about the rockets and the bombs of Hamas? For starters, there are no "Palestinian" people. Don't exist. They're Arabs, yet they've been used by their brethern as a battering ram against Israel. Israel didn't steal their land. Before the Jews arrived, "Palestine" was a desert. It was only after the arrival of the Jews that "Palestine" became a distinct nation and people, which, by the way, according to Hamas, consists not just of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, but of all Israel proper.

Black South Africans? Does this Piled Higher and Deeper not know that we had an arms embargo on South Africa during Apartheid? Duh.

By 1989, a bipartisan Republican/Democratic initiative in the US favoured economic sanctions (realized as the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act), the release of Nelson Mandela and a negotiated settlement involving the ANC.

As Barak, he told the Grey Lady:

Sen. Obama told the New York Times he was not at the church on the day of Rev. Wright's 9/11 sermon. "The violence of 9/11 was inexcusable and without justification," Obama said in a recent interview. "It sounds like he was trying to be provocative," Obama told the paper.

Provocative? According to Wiktionary:

Adjective

provocative

1. Serving or tending to provoke, excite, or stimulate; exciting.

Well, Barak, at least you're honest about something: he was definitely seeking to provoke. Hatred, that is.



Jesus was a poor black man? He was Jewish, dude. This guy rails against bigotry, yet, he hates "rich white people." OK. All righty then.....

There's even more from this idiot. The Wall Street Journal has a story in today's edition. The AP and Reuters? Nada. Zip. Nothing. Guess they can't let their messiah be tarred and feathered by the evil hate speech (love using that liberal p.c. term against them) coming from his pastor of 20 years.

"We've got more black men in prison than there are in college," he began. "Racism is alive and well. Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run. No black man will ever be considered for president, no matter how hard you run Jesse [Jackson] and no black woman can ever be considered for anything outside what she can give with her body."

Mr. Wright thundered on: "America is still the No. 1 killer in the world. . . . We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns, and the training of professional killers . . . We bombed Cambodia, Iraq and Nicaragua, killing women and children while trying to get public opinion turned against Castro and Ghadhafi . . . We put [Nelson] Mandela in prison and supported apartheid the whole 27 years he was there. We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God."

His voice rising, Mr. Wright said, "We supported Zionism shamelessly while ignoring the Palestinians and branding anybody who spoke out against it as being anti-Semitic. . . . We care nothing about human life if the end justifies the means. . . ."

Concluding, Mr. Wright said: "We started the AIDS virus . . . We are only able to maintain our level of living by making sure that Third World people live in grinding poverty. . . .

This is guy is a certifiable nut burger, yet, Obama's statement on this is laughable at best and a disgusting dodge at worst.

Sen. Obama has said repeatedly that personal attacks such as this have no place in this campaign or our politics, whether they're offered from a platform at a rally or the pulpit of a church. Sen. Obama does not think of the pastor of his church in political terms. Like a member of his family, there are things he says with which Sen. Obama deeply disagrees. But now that he is retired, that doesn't detract from Sen. Obama's affection for Rev. Wright or his appreciation for the good works he has done.

Doesn't think of his pastor in political terms? Barak HUSSEIN Obama, the dude works for your campaign. Works for it!

Wright is a member of Obama's African American Religious Leadership Committee — the sort of largely honorary, advisory body that in recent days has recently been used mostly to throw people off who say controversial things.

He violates his tax-exempt status every Sunday, like in the video above, stumping for you. Since he's been your preacher for 20-plus years, your spiritual advisor and even gave you the title of your lame book, The Audacity of Hope, he is most definitely fair game in this campaign. Especially if he is going to be swearing you in if the idiotic 50 percent of the population elects this unknown, socialist president.

And we forget that Barak's biggest contributor, supporter and glad-hander, Antoin "Tony" Rezko, is on trial. Apparently, Rezko helped Barak get a nice discount on his mansion.

In a complicated but legal deal with Rezko, who bought a vacant lot next door to Obama's in Chicago, the senator was able to secure his own house at $300,000 below the asking price.

Just like with NAFTA, wink, wink, nod, nod, say no more, right Barak?

Chickens are coming home to roost, indeed.

With the corruption trial of one of Sen. Barack Obama's longtime friends and supporters set to begin Monday in Chicago, Ill., reform watchdogs say it will reveal the "cesspool" of Illinois politics in which Obama came of age and has said little about in his campaign for president.

Read more here. Why did it take the Mainstream Media this long to quit treating this guy with kid gloves and cover him as if he were any other candidate? He comes from a radical, anti-American background (need we add his mother was a hippie, enough said) and he is a product of the "cesspool" of Illinois politics in Chicago. Want to know how radical Barak HUSSEIN Obama is, read this story from Rolling Stone, no right-wing publication for sure.

This is as openly radical a background as any significant American political figure has ever emerged from, as much Malcolm X as Martin Luther King Jr. Wright is not an incidental figure in Obama's life, or his politics. The senator "affirmed" his Christian faith in this church; he uses Wright as a "sounding board" to "make sure I'm not losing myself in the hype and hoopla." Both the title of Obama's second book, The Audacity of Hope, and the theme for his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 come from Wright's sermons. "If you want to understand where Barack gets his feeling and rhetoric from," says the Rev. Jim Wallis, a leader of the religious left, "just look at Jeremiah Wright."

That says it all folks. And he is seen as a messiah? I think not.
