In an extraordinary video recording of Barack Obama's pastor - leader of a church that the candidate says he consciously chose after a long search - the Reverend Jeremiah Wright lets loose with some of the most nauseating racist comments directed against whites imaginable:
During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama’s upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans.
“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,” Wright said. “Hillary would never know that. “Hillary ain’t never been called a n***er. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”
In his Jan. 13 sermon, Wright said:
“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.”
He begins with reference to the Romans, who crucified Jesus, as Italians, and thus white. The rest of the video can charitably called "racially confrontational."
Obama makes no effort to hide his admiration for Reverend Wright, going so far as to take the title of his book - "Audacity of Hope" - from one of the reverend's sermons. And he has never disavowed his relationship with Wright, only saying he disagrees with "some" of his statements.
Perhaps it's time for this so-called "uniter" to cut his ties with such a rank racist.
UPDATE
Ed Lasky sends this along:
ABC's Brian Ross offered a report on "Good Morning America" on Thursday looking at the controversial views of Obama's longtime pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Among the comments captured on video: "God damn America for treating its citizens as less than human." Sprinkle in a reference to the "US of KKK A," and a suggestion that the nation invited 9/11: "America's chickens are coming home to roost."
Barack Obama: he talks about Wright's work on South Africa and other related issues-hey would that be condemning Israel for its ties with S. Africa and calls for disvestment from Israel..a la the divestment campaign involving South Africa? Comparing Israel's treatment of Palestinians to apartheid? Barack Obama's "sounding board", "moral compass". "mentor", and "spiritual inspiration" for over 20 years and whose church has been Barack Obama's number one recipient of charitable donations (gee...maybe that is why Wright drives a Porsche), the man who married him and baprtized his two daughters. Or is that guilt by association?
BTW - the IRS is looking into Wright's advocacy for Obama from the pulpit to see if it violates campaign laws regarding non-profit groups promoting a partisan view. Several conservative Christian pastors have been caught up in these investigations by the IRS and have been forced to halt their activities.
Jeremiah Wright and Fred Pehlps should....
Well, I won't finish that thought.
I’m sure that Robert Byrd would consider Hillary a white one.
David Duke must be awfully angry at this hypocrisy.
Pablo Picasso never got called a @$$. . .
Thankfully I’ve never been called a democrat. I might commit an assault.
Funny is that my two little ones under 11 use the word “democrat” as derogatory name to call someone they are mat at.
Can someone tell me why this story has been so long in coming? Wright’s remarks (sermon) have been out there. Did it take someone with courage? ... like Rush?
By the same token, Barak "ain't never been called a b**ch" .
Imagine the PC liberal crap hate whitey crap we will have to endure if hussein wins.
thanks. but am I the only one who heard about this some time ago? It’s such a bombshell. Why the delay?
I would bet good money that Larry Sinclair called him that once - during the heat of passion.
He's a preacher? Wow. What a role model any father (or single mother) would want their son to grow up to be like.
Funny, but we must have missed the thread you posted about it.
Please — show us where you FReeped this.
Thank you.
No, I didn’t post about it but I do remember seeing it somewhere. Maybe someone else did too?
Imagine the PC liberal hate whitey crap we will have to endure if Baraq Husayn ibn Mahomet LOSES...
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.
Ping.
