I decided to take a peak at the weekly bulletin that Obama and Pastor Wright's church produces. As bulletins go, its a fairly slick production. The beginning is the readings and prayers from that week's service (minus the sermon). But each bulletin has the Pastor's Page, usually written by Pastor Jeremiah. Sometimes it is an article he chooses to feature instead (such as the apologist for Hamas).
In addition, they have another 'reverend' on staff, Reginald Williams Jr., who regularly coughs up more liberal nonsense in his "To Do Justice" page of the bulletin.
After reading through about 10 bulletins, all full of extreme leftism of course, I thought I'd share a few nuggets with you. I took snapshots of the PDF pages and I kept the links so it will be easy to navigate.
But following are the money quotes for today.
From the Nov 18, 2007 bulletin under "To do Justice":
as currently celebrated in this country, "Thanksgiving" is a bitter reminder of 500 years of betrayal returned for friendship
From the Feb 4, 2007 bulletin, from Rev. Jerry himself, comes this gem at the end of his article on the statistics of black men in jail....
South Africa under apartheid was internationally condemned as a racist society.
South Africa under apartheid (1993), (incarcerated) black males: 851 per 100,000.
US under George Bush (2003), black males: 4919 per 100,000.
What does it mean when the leader of the "free world" locks up its black males at a rate 5.8 times higher than the most openly racist country in the world?
And then there is this little ditty from Rev Reggie regarding Katrina in the Sept 18, 2005 church bulletin:
Just as the rhetorical ethic is found in the racism that built this country, we can also find the racial rhetorical, which exists in the Bush family. Upon viewing the living conditions of those displaced persons in the Houston Astrodome, Barbara Bush, the mother of George Bush stated that those conditions worked out well for them because many of them were underprivileged anyway (notice the lack of a legit quote here). Now we see, in the words of Kayne West, why George Bush does not care about black people. HE WAS TAUGHT THAT BLACKS ARE NOT PEOPLE FOR WHICH TO BE CARED. (emphasis mine).
And finally, they don't just hate and blame whitey in the US. Obama's church was global in its reach (remember thos evil white Romans). So here Rev Reggie lays into the French for their racism that 'caused' the muslim riots in recent years. From the Nov 20, 2005 bulletin:
Young persons who are sick and tired of the government's and society's exclusive, supremest, and racist attitudes towards them are rising up and making themselves heard.....(snip)...This shows that racism is not just an American entity, but a worldwide occurrence. In fact, if the names were switched, it could very well be America rather than France.
For those interested in the links to these fine bulletins...

Barack “Tommy” Obama (That deaf, dumb, and blind candidate...)
I guess they don’t print the bulletin in braille.
Maybe the words to some of the songs from Tommy need to be reworked for the “Deaf, dumb, and blind” candidate.
Ha. Doug could do it.
Thanks for posting this, Pissant.
More for the Obama files. It may come in handy.
BTW, are you related to fingemonkey?
If Hillary supporters were smart, they’d start disseminating these church bulletins at her campaign rallies.
I’m trying to think of the reaction we’d hear if Hillary Clinton attended a church that spoke of the victimization of whites by blacks, who kill disproportionate numbers of white victims and rape disproportionate numbers of white women...
I somehow don’t think that would be received too well...
yet Obama heard none of this vile claptrap?
—
selective hearing, perhaps?
politocos are very good at it.
Good job!!!
Judging by his book form 1995, he largely has the same worldview as Jeremiah.
He will claim not to have been there those weeks, or did not read the bulletin. He will come up with something and his followers will drink it up.
Thanks. It’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Yep. That’s why I’m hoping Larry Sinclair’s story busts out into the MSM. That will end his career in politics.
US under George Bush (2003), black males: 4919 per 100,000.
What does it mean when the leader of the "free world" locks up its black males at a rate 5.8 times higher than the most openly racist country in the world?
To me it means that even though there are terrific opportunities for people of all colors in our society (as evidenced by a growing black middle class and some very, very wealthy black athletes, entertainers and businessmen) there are still many inner-city blacks who fail to exercise personal responsibility and good judgment. They fail to get a good education. They are sexually promiscuous to such a high degree that the vast preponderance of their children are born out of wedlock, and are raised by one parent, usually a young, uneducated female. They seek short-term gratification with sex and/or drugs, instead of making long-term plans for an honest, successful future. They don't believe that the American Dream is for them, and often feel that those who work hard are chumps.
Because of these and other poor choices, many inner-city youths see crime as the only way for them to get the things they want. Many have committed multiple crimes until they are finally caught and incarcerated. The fact that the rate of imprisonment is so high has exactly zero to do with George Bush and everything to do with the life of crime these thugs have chosen.
Let me see if I understand this.
12.6 % of black males 25-29 are currently incarcerated. Is that really right?
Considering that possibly half of the criminals in the US are incarcerated at any given time, it would mean that 25%, probably more, of black males 25-29 are criminals.
And, he has the nerve to blame whitey for this.
And, I will bet you that Obama has the same “blame whitey” mentality. Go ahead Dems, elect Hussein and watch how fast all of white America becomes second class citizens.
