Notice that Obama didn’t condemn the man UNTIL his sermons became public. Does America want the disciple of Jeremiah Wright as the next president?
*************************snippet*************************
Bill Burton, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, said the campaign disinvited Mr. Wright because it did not want the church to face negative attention. Mr. Wright did however, attend the announcement and prayed with Mr. Obama beforehand.
“Senator Obama is proud of his pastor and his church, but because of the type of attention it was receiving on blogs and conservative talk shows, he decided to avoid having statements and beliefs being used out of context and forcing the entire church to defend itself,” Mr. Burton said.
"God Damn America", "The US government created HIV to use on the blacks", "the US deserved 911 chickens coming home to roost", "the US government imports drugs to keep the blacks down", "rich white men rule America to keep the black man down", "Jesus Christ was a poor black man in a white ruled and supremist society", etc., etc. are all clearly hatefilled, disgusting perversions that no Christian preacher, white or black, should make a part of any of his sermons.
The fact is Wright is using such speech and such ideology to perpetuate the plight of those in America, white or black, who buy into this screed.
Wright is what Alan Keyes calls one of the "Masters of the Dream". He claims that Hillary Clinton uses blacks. Well, he is right on that count...but it's the pot calling the kettle black, so to speaik, because he is doing exactly the same thing.
I hope the leaders of this church continue to try and defend this digusting perversion. It exposes them for who they are and keeps this issue as regards Barack Hussein Obama on the forefront...all the way to their convention. Maybe the white superdelegates will steal the election from Obama because of his unebelievable ties to this disgusting hate America crowd and irrevocably split the DNC constiuencies.
I hope so.
Obama's lame attemmpts to distance himself from himself are pathetic and will fail.
