HAMPTON, Virginia - President Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is blaming "them Jews" for keeping him from speaking to the president.
Wright, the former pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, said he hasn't spoken to Obama since he became president.
"Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright told the Daily Press of Newport News following a Tuesday night sermon at the 95th annual Hampton University Ministers' Conference.

The White House declined to comment to the Associated Press on Thursday on Wright's remarks. A phone message left by the AP at Wright's home wasn't immediately returned.

A little late to the story but surprised MSNBC and the AP are actually covering it.
I wonder if they will call Rev. Wright a conservative or right wing like the shooter?
Wright or Braunn?
Jew Hater
FOX News’ Orielly hater
Weekly Standard hater
Bush hater
Neo-con hater
9-11 was an inside job
Thinks “SOCIALISM represents the future of the West”
Hates corporations
MSNBC and AP couldn’t find their buttholes with a flashlight.....on HIGH beam.
Wrap his head in a towel and he’ll be invited to the next Wednesday night party.
Oh lord, please, please no. There is nothing right wing about Jeremiah Wright.
color me surprised
Hey it’s been all over the place for days. You have to pretend to be a news agency.
It’s pretty clear why Obama was sitting in that church for 20 years.
One week after the Kenyan’s pro-Muslim speech, there’s a lot of Jew-haters in the news. One Obama knew personally for 20 years and the other in the hospital.
Talk to Cynthia McKinney’s father. He had those nasty JOOOOOZ pegged a long time ago. MSNBC is continuing its slide into oblivion. May God speed up the slide.
Not only is Wright a racist pig.....he can't do math. It will only be three years...and 4 months before Obama is a lame duck.
can this possibly be a reaction to Rush continuing to refer to them as the Government Run Media?
maybe too many people that had not previously noticed are beginning to pay attention.
Great post!
This complicates Obama’s position here. AP was supposed to ignore this so zero can make political hay out of the “right wing” Jew-hater - who also happened to hate O’Reilly, Bush 1 snd 2, Goldwater, Neocons, Weekly Standard, Big Corporations, Wars, Denied 9/11, etc.
Sounds more like Rev Wright.
The demise of the dinosaur media proceeds apace.
So basically, he’s a bigot because of the Joooos? what a dipstick.
And if it was shining OUT instead of IN.
“..Sounds more like Rev Wright...”
No...sounds like Pelosi and the Dems...
Is “baby daughter” common language? Isn’t this guy, like, 60 years old?
Obama embraces everything you taught him, isn't that enough?
Unrepentant traitor terrorist bomber William Ayers couldn’t get the time of day from Obama before the election and kept his mouth shut until after he, Soros, ACORN, ANSWER, The Racist Congressional Black Caucus, illegal aliens and blatant voter fraud got him elected.
He and his wife love you!
Sure, he only loved you because his Marxist wife did, but it's love nevertheless.
So shut up you un-American racist anti-Christian “Reverend”
If the Israelis had any intent on "ethnically cleansing" that terrorist hellhole - Gaza has the largest concentration of Islamo-terrorists anywhere in the world - they would've done so a long time ago. The truth, which Wright and his fellow anti-semites conveniently ignore, is that Israel abandoned Gaza at the insistence of her enemies only to see it turn into a rocket launching pad against Israeli population areas.
The destrucion of Israel is written into the charters of both Hamas and Fatah. If anyone is looking for those who both advocate and exercise ethnic cleansing, look no further than there.
If Wright had said “Jew” instead of “Jews” he might have a plausible argument that he is correct. Rahm Emmanuel controls access to Obama as his chief of staff and it makes sense that he’d want nothing to do with Wright.
Jeremiah Wright:
Blames Israel for 9/11, says America deserved 9/11, called Israel “that dirty word” and now he’s hatin’ the Jooooos again.
Named to be spiritual adivsor to O — until the media found out
We can hear the phone call now between two old Jew hating farts ~
Did they ever cover Rev Wright “riding dirty” with his texas mistress?
Perhaps Braun will live long enough to give the AP an interview - get the TIVO warmed up
Obama Breeds Climate of Hate Against Jews
By Rabbi Dr. Morton H. Pomerantz
Our new president did not tell a virulent anti-Semite to travel to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington to kill Jews, but he is most certainly creating a climate of hate against us.
It is no coincidence that we are witnessing this level of hatred toward Jews as President Barack Obama positions America against the Jewish state.
Just days ago Obama traveled to Cairo, Egypt. It was his second trip in a short time to visit Muslim countries. He sent a clear message by not visiting Israel.
But this was code.
In Cairo, Obama said things that pose a grave danger to Jews in Israel, in America and everywhere.
Story Continues below...
And if his views are not vigorously opposed they will help create a danger as great as that posed by the Nazis to the Jewish people.
Just last week, Obama told his worldwide audience — more than 100 million people — that the killing of six million Jews during the Holocaust was the equivalent of Israel’s actions in dealing with the Palestinians.
This remark is incredible on its face, an insult to the six million Jews who died as a result of Hitler’s genocide — and it is a form of revisionism that will bode evil for Jews for years to come.
While Obama acknowledged that “six million Jews were killed — more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today” — his discussion about the Holocaust was followed by this statement: “On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people — Muslims and Christians — have suffered in pursuit of a homeland.”
“On the other hand . . . ”?
Obama’s clever construct comparing the mass genocide of six million Jews to the Palestinian struggle will not be lost on the estimated 100 million Muslims who tuned into to hear him.
Perhaps it was not lost on James W. von Brunn, the 88-year-old white supremacist identified as the alleged attacker Wednesday at the Holocaust Museum. He apparently felt that he could easily take retribution against the Jews for the atrocities Obama implies they are guilty of.
At first blush Mr. Obama’s speech seemed rosy, optimistic — one that espoused tolerance and understanding.
If you scratch the surface it is a dangerous document that history will view as a turning point for America and Israel — one that will lead to dangerous times ahead for both Jews and believing Christians.
The immediate danger posed by Obama’s speech is in its incredible re-writing of the history of Jews, Christians and Muslims from Medieval times to the present.
Obama, continually throughout his speech, talks of Islam’s peaceful intent. And while there are certainly Koranic verses that support this interpretation, Islam has a long and bloody history of violence against fellow Muslims, Jews and Christians.
Has Obama not heard about the Muslim’s violent conquest of the Middle East, Spain and half of Western Europe? Was he never taught that the Crusades sought to turn back this Muslim onslaught that demanded subjugated populations convert or die?
In his almost hour-long speech, there is not a single word about Islam’s well known and checkered past.
Ironically, the American president offered plenty of references to what he sees are America’s evils, such as its “colonialism” and history of slavery.
“For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation,” Obama told his audience, citing a litany of American shortcomings. He failed to mention that Arab Muslims were the greatest slave traders in the history of humanity.
According to Obama, Israelis, too, are guilty of wrongdoing, especially when it comes to their supposed maltreatment of the Palestinians.
Isn’t it odd an American president would go to a foreign country and slander his own country and its long-time ally?
At the same time he praises — unconditionally — a religion and culture that has a long history of being antithetical to the very values that have made America a great nation?
Mr. Obama even has the unbelievable gall, when talking about the treatment of Muslim women, to condemn Western countries for attempting to stop Muslim women from using the full facial cover, or hijab. This is a symbol of Muslim subjugation of women.
Listen to what Obama said: “Likewise, it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit - for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear.”
And Obama not only ignores the gross subjugation of women in many Arab societies — he does not mention even once the almost total religious intolerance throughout the Muslim world against Christians and Jews.
In his speech, Obama’s only plea for Muslim women living in Muslim countries is that they should be afforded an education.
How about a discussion of the beheading of Arab women for “crimes” such as adultery? How about the malicious treatment of women in Muslim countries who choose not to wear the hijab?
Obama insists that Islam has promoted tolerance and that in Islamic societies such ideals have flourished.
Obama claimed that “as a student of history” he understands more than most the truth about “civilization’s debt to Islam.”
He added, “And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”
Does he not know that a Jew or Christian would be beheaded in Saudi Arabia for practicing their religion today, now, this minute?
Of course, Obama offers not one example of where religious freedom is truly tolerated in the Muslim world. Yet, he proudly told his audience that in every state of the union and throughout the U.S. there exist more than 1,200 mosques.
But why, Mr. President, is there no Christian Church or Jewish synagogue operating within the borders of Saudi Arabia? Not even one.
Why in many countries, including your host Egypt, Christian churches have suffered vicious and continual persecution? Why is a once vibrant Cairo Jewish community — a home for the likes of Maimonides — today practically extinct?
Why, dear president, has the ancient Christian community in the West Bank and places like Bethlehem been almost completely wiped out by the modern Muslim onslaught?
“On the other hand,” to quote you Mr. President, you avoided mentioning some other truths.
Let’s start with the Israeli Arabs who can claim one of the highest standards of living in the Arab world. Indeed, they have more rights than Arabs in any Muslim country, their religious freedom is completely protected, and they even vote in free elections.
Tell me what Muslim country matches Israel’s record in protecting its minorities?
Even Arabs in the West Bank, during the time of Israeli control, saw their standard of living rise dramatically. Today, Arabs there are among the best educated in the world, thanks to Israel.
In your revisionist view, Israel has acted to harm these people. But it was not Israel that could not abide by United Nations resolutions clearly setting borders for both the state of Israel and an entity that had never existed before named Palestine.
You cleverly omitted any discussion of these facts, or the continual attacks against the state of Israel over six decades by its Muslim neighbors. Nor is it the Israelis who persecute from time to time the Coptic Christians of Egypt.
No, Mr. President, I do not accept your assertion that you are seeking religious tolerance or that you are seeking to protect Jews. I do not accept it because you are inventing a false history to fit your own agenda.
Mr. President, I am deeply disturbed that you would offer such a distortion of truth in the hopes of creating a lasting peace. A lasting peace cannot be created out of lies, distortions and half truths.
You profess to be a Christian. But you seem more intent on protecting Muslims. In your speech you talked openly of your Muslim heritage, your admiration of their way of life, and so forth. You said in your speech that you have made one of your chief aims of your presidency repairing the image of Islam.
Why did you hide these views from the American public during the recent presidential campaign?
Why, as president, did you fully bow to the Saudi king, who refuses to allow any religious freedom for any Christian or Jew?
You have made clear, by your words and assertions, that you are re-positioning the United States away from Israel, America’s lone democratic ally in the Mid-East.
You have made clear through your statements and those of your minions that Israel should, under no circumstances, prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
And yes, you have promised to retaliate against Iran if it ever attacks Israel with nuclear weapons.
But you know full well that if Iran succeeds in its admitted goal of “wiping the Jewish state off the map” — and hits this tiny nation with nuclear warheads — there will be no Israel for the U.S. to retaliate on behalf of.
Some Jews may be naïve, but we are not stupid.
Rabbi Dr. Morton H. Pomerantz is a member of the Reform movement of Judaism and serves as a chaplain for the State of New York. A former Navy and Marine Corps officer and chaplain, he has also served as deputy national chaplain for the Jewish War Veterans of the United States.
How come so many of the Rabbi’s people voted for the usurper in the W.H., huh???
Chris Matthews
He may be a nut but on the strength of that statement I find no racism and more than a little truth.
