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."
During the 2008 presidential campaign, as Obama was trying to distance himself from figures such as Wright and Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, Wright gave a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. and repeated a discredited Soviet propaganda claim that the U.S. Government had manufactured the AIDS virus to kill black people.
The McChesney introduction of Wright provides more insight into the political network, based largely in Chicago, that launched Obama's political career and still influences him.

All the while Obama and his pet drank it all in. I feel sorry for his kids.
Had the video on about 2 min., had enough. I’ll wait for the comments of the stronger stomachs among us.
How’s the new mansion in that gated community, Rev ?
This is not only seen in "spreading the wealth around" that is the current rage in Washington, but in little things like the SafeLink Wireless program where people (not only citizens) who are "income-eligible" receive a free cell phone and 70 minutes of air time paid for by a tax levied on all other communications users.
Worse, we will face direct challenges to our personal moral values when should any life-saving medical cures come out of research on stem cells from aborted babies. This, along with transplant organs extracted from freshly executed political prisoners in China takes "living at the expense of others" to a new level.
It is easy to decline buying the new Swiss-developed skin care product made from "cultured fetal skin cells", but when your own life hangs on receiving something taken from some other human by coercion, how hard will it be to decline as a matter of principle?
marking for later viewing - after I eat something.
We do need media reform. We need the media to start reporting the news again.
And that lying King Obama tries to say he did not listen. King Obama is a communists piece of garbage.
Does everyone recall the photo of the Obama kids in Europe.....one of them wearing the tee shirt imprinted with the iconic mug of the Marxist revolutionary/murderer "Che"?
Oh, yeah, kids will just be kids......

Sadly the millions of us who saw through this POS don’t need to see this vid to know.
The millions who did vote for this POS won’t see it or if they do see it they will excuse the vile POS by using one of odumbo’s lies about not knowing how Wright felt
bookmark.
big question now is, who sat on this footage throughout the duration of the ‘08 campaign??
Why does the good Reverend stay here if it is such an awful place to live?
