Obama and 'Them Jews'

Do you remember Jeremiah Wright, the long-time pastor, mentor and spiritual guide to Barack Obama? Obama sat in Wright’s pews for more than a decade and was baptized into his church, as were both of his daughters. All the while Wright preached a hateful mixture of black liberation theology and America-bashing, periodically spiced up with Louis Farrakhan-style anti-Semitism.

Once Wright’s rants became public and threatened to derail Obama’s presidential campaign, the candidate distanced himself from his pastor. This is “not the man I knew for 20 years,” candidate Obama explained to America during a high-profile press conference.

Well, the good reverend is back in the news. Asked by a reporter if he had recently spoken to the president, Wright said, “Them Jews aren’t going to let me talk to him.” “Them Jews” was an apparent reference to several top Obama aides, including White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Wright clearly feels spurned because “them Jews” aren’t allowing him access to the president. But Wright can also feel a certain satisfaction as his former protégé implements a policy toward Israel’s Jews that would make him proud. In fact, while Candidate Obama eventually distanced himself from Jeremiah Wright, President Obama seems to have embraced some of Wright’s more unsavory sentiments about Israel.

For the past few weeks, the focus of President Obama’s Middle East policy has been to browbeat Israel into discontinuing the establishment of “settlements” in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank.

Note to “JINOs”.

Leftist anti-semites will make no distinction between hating liberal “Jews” or conservative Jews.

We continue to let the left define the terms of ANY debate.

The term “Reverend” should NEVER be applied to Wright. As a Jew hater and a proponent of Black Liberation Theology he is not a Reverend and I submit that by hating Jews he is not a Christian. He and his church are just a phony conman speaking to a phony hate cult.

We also allow the left to define the terms of debate when we stand still and let them use “Right Wing Extremist” as an extremist is an extremist and has no standing in political debate.
