Controversial New Video of Obama’s Pastor
Accuracy in Media. ^ | Nov. 1, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 11/01/2009 10:08:08 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

A new video of Jeremiah Wright has surfaced, showing Barack Obama's pastor of 20 years praising Marxism and discussing his ties to communists in El Salvador and Nicaragua and the Libyan government. Equally important, Wright is being introduced in the video by Robert W. McChesney, co-founder of Free Press, an organization which has come under scrutiny for its links to the Obama Administration and dedication to the transformation and control of the private media in the U.S.

In an article in the socialist Monthly Review, "Journalism, Democracy, and Class Struggle," McChesney declared, "Our job is to make media reform part of our broader struggle for democracy, social justice, and, dare we say it, socialism."

In the video, which captures Wright's appearance at a September 17, 2009, anniversary celebration of Monthly Review, Wright said that while the "corporate media" provide a "binary lens" of the world, in such terms as "communist versus Christian," Monthly Review offers what it calls "no-nonsense Marxism."

He added: "You dispel all the negative images we have been programmed to conjure up with just the mention of that word socialism or Marxism."

He called America "land of the greed and home of the slave."

Where was this video when we needed it?

Not that it would have made any difference .....

Didja see McCain’s reason for not using any of these videos???

“We coulda won but we didn’t want to win that way”. Huh?

What other way is there to win other than win?

So look at what we’ve got now. John.....

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You personally ruined this country McCain (gimme my 100 bucks back, jerk).

Take a look at an extremely cogent comment left on Vimeo about this creep :

I excerpt it, go view the linked video and add your comments if you wish:

The Podgineer:

“I thought Rev. Wright came to pay tribute to others? Seems like a fine tribute to himself - wow - what a list of “what I’ve done and who I’ve been associated with.” Was this an Oscar acceptance speech? Please hold the applause. Wondering if Rev. Wright understands the very words of which he delivers, too? To me this man is a walking contradiction. Words with few deeds that measure up to his baseless accusations. The very fact that he himself has what he has is due to the freedoms of which “ALL” American’s enjoy! He can dispute that - but he has wealth, power, property - he’s at the top of the social order in this Nation. Yes, we have our issues as a Nation past and present - we’re not perfect by any means. His idiotic “parable” of the cake shows what he wants to do. What will he replace the Constitution with? We can bet he’ll be on the top of the social pecking order telling people what to believe and how to properly follow the leader when it all comes down. Thus the famous “God damn America” we’ve all come to know and love since our Nation sucks so bad -

Moreover, this idea of apology for slavery is a very ridiculous notion as the fact is indisputable that the very reason black-african’s found their way to these shores was due to their own race practicing slavery and profiting from it. Yes, slavery was a terrible chapter in our history. Unfortunately, slavery is alive and well still in many areas of Africa today. Has the Black community ever addressed this issue? No! Why? Because it doesn’t fit their agenda of victimhood. He and others also fail to give credit to any of the “white” folk who made it possible to have such freedom. This man and his ilk are truly evil and self-centered in their views.

His point of a Nation of “greed” and the “enslaved” is so far out of step it’s laughable. Does he make this stuff up to get notoriety of men? Can the honorable Rev. Wright give us an example of a Socialist regime that ever gave the “people” what he himself espouses as honorable liberty? Cuba? Russia? Vietnam? China? Can he name a Socialist nation that has given more to the world in both treasure and service than The United States of America?

I suppose we could have the “honorable” chairman Mao give us a lesson on how to treat “people” as a practicing Socialist? Mao was all about “people” you know. Can the honorable Rev. name a Socialist nation that allows the freedom to publicly call for it’s destruction and not do so from an undisclosed location for fear of government reprisal? How’s Zimbabwe looking these days? We’re all clamoring to get in aren’t we! Name the Socialist country from any time in history and I’ll submit my fault. The truth is he cannot! Nobody can because Socialism/Marxism is incapable of doing so - period. It’s about control and only control. If these “learned” preachers of equality suggest that it’s about social equality/justice then they have either been brainwashed, they’re ignorant, or they purposefully intend to seek power over people though deceit. I go with the later - possible all the above.

To have this man and this group lecture us about freedom and Marxism is a true fallacy as neither are compatible - history bears this out! Rev. Wright, you are confused and a true racist no matter what shade of color graces your skin. If you’re a true Black Theologian then you are personally acquainted with religious hatred of others that are not of your color.

You know what I’m talking about Rev. Yes, Black Theology calls for the eradication of “white” people. For those that do not know this - educate yourself so you can see through the lies of this man. I don’t see anything honorable about this hypocrite!

Thanks for linking to this. Listening to this guy it is clear that it was virtually impossible for Obama to have sat through any significant number of his sermons and not know what he represented. He's a racist with an agenda. And, like Obama, he's a soft and well-spoken ideologue who can say outrageous things and still sound somewhat ‘reasoned’, until you separate the actual words from the delivery.

MAY 2008 : (FOX REPORTS THAT THE REV. WRIGHT IS ABOUT TO MOVE INTO A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR HOME-— see TRINITY UNITED CHURCH, OBAMA) From May.... As we reported, the reverend will soon move into a multimillion-dollar home. And now “The Factor” has learned he drives two Mercedes Benz automobiles worth about $142,000. In addition, Wright’s church has access to an astounding $10 million line of credit. -—————HONESTY IN THE PUBLIC ARENA May 2008, Nobody ever bothered to follow up. Pity.

So where does this leave us concerning Sen. Barack Obama and the subject of “reparations” for any particular group? It leaves us now knowing that while he was a member of the Rev. Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago from about 1988 to 2007, his church was deeply involved in the black extremist reparations movement, especially in N’COBRA. They weren’t just spectators, but full fledged, deeply involved activists, and they associated with some of the most extreme black communists and separatists in American history.
We also now know the extent of most of Rev. Wright’s ties to both white and black extremist groups from the Cuban communists, American communists, black American extremists ranging from Maoists to separatists, to the Nation of Islam of Louis Farrakhan and all their connections to the Libyan dictator and terrorism sponsor Muammar Qaddafi. Other suspected ties yet to be explored include contacts with the Syrian dictatorships, the Palestinian terrorist groups, and other overseas countries/organizations that Wright may have met during his trips abroad... ------- "Obama’s Church: It’s Hidden Ties to Black Extremism and Communism," Aug 22, 2009 http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2008/11/obamas-church-its-hidden-ties-to-black_04.html

Jeremiah Wright Was a Muslim: Why That Matters
No Quarter ^ | April 10, 2008 | Bud White

Posted on 05/14/2008 7:20:19 PM PDT by Heuristic Hiker

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2016142/posts

Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity’s guiding principles–what the church calls the “Black Value System”[Emphasis added]

Why should Reverend Wright’s past as Muslim concern us?

First, Reverend Wright’s hate sermons are virtually identical as those given by his good friend, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who followed in the footsteps of Malcolm X...

Nothing like capitalism for a communist. Sorta like Mikey Moore. I'm waiting for one of these bastids to move to El Salvador and give their money to the natives. For whatever reason, they all seem to prefer my money.

I clinched my teeth and listened to the whole thing. Did anybody hear him say he stopped to help the 8 year old girl with the bookbag? I musta missed it. Complaining about the girl was fine, but who was supposed to help her if not him? Couldn't he have slipped her a twenty?

In an article in the socialist Monthly Review...

The Monthly Review is Marxist, not socialist...

It's a place where Marxist academics get their "current topics" articles published for the perusal of other Marxist academics.
