from Derrick Bell: Barack Obama and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Issue
The Rev. Dr. Paul Smith Weblog ^ | March 23, 2008 | Rev. Dr. Paul Smith

Posted on 03/07/2012 1:19:23 PM PST by marstegreg

Sen. Obama, his campaign threatened by Rev. Wright’s sermons – or sermon snippets – played over and over again, has spoken out about racial difference and anger and the need to get beyond it in order to address effectively the serious problems that face us all. But like the politicians we discussed who avoid the tough issues, Obama has chosen to condemn rather than acknowledge the truth in Rev. Wright’s sermons. He does so while appropriately refusing to end his relationship with Wright who brought him to Christianity.

Did you read the rest of this article? It is really incredible. If this is what Bell really believed, Obama’s in some big trouble. Plus, the argument that he didn’t really pay attention to Wright goes out the window. Read the entire article, you will be stunned!

Sarc/right? If not; then where did you get that idea?

The most influential "Christian" in Obama's life; meantime; appears to be the great Christian and ex-Nation of Islam patriot, Rev. Wright. How Christian is he? Not very Christian at all; in fact. Unless you consider; Marxism a Christianity and Black Liberation Theology. . .and Nation of Islam 'virtues' as Christian.

Breitbart's full tape of Obama introducing Bell at Harvard - or at least, 'less' edited than the one currently available will be aired on Hannity tonight. Clearly edited version now available via Ben Smith as framed on Drudge as well as info per Hannity release.

The vetting of Obama is well underway; with NO THANKS to MSM ET AL Left.

Anybody who believes Obama is a Christian hasn’t a clue as to what a Christian is.

What Wright ‘brought Obama to’ - was the fullness, the fruition of, the final chapters of - his total indoctrination and immersion into the world of anti-white, anti-America communism, which Wright flew under the banner of Christianity.

There’s a book which goes into quite a bit of detail as to the repercussions of bearing false witness. We won’t be privy, but it sure would be interesting to be a fly on that wall!

Just in case, here is Bell’s take on MLK anti war speech:

“He described Vietnam’s Communist leaders, including Ho Chi Minh, as patriots who organized the resistance to French and Japanese colonialism only to be betrayed by the U.S. who sabotaged the Geneva Agreement of 1954. King called on every person of conscience to protest the war.”

Sound Familiar???

Obama asserted in December, “I’ve always been a Christian,” and he has adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. “The only connection I’ve had to Islam is that my grandfather on my father’s side came from that country [Kenya]. But I’ve never practiced Islam.” In February, he claimed: “I have never been a Muslim. … other than my name and the fact that I lived in a populous Muslim country for 4 years when I was a child [Indonesia, 1967-71] I have very little connection to the Islamic religion.”

Actually, the OSS had that belief. It's pretty close to what actually happened ~ and in light of the fact that the US ended up aiding Chang Kai Shek, the RUSSIAN selection as Communist dictator for Big China, it's actually not far off the mark.

I wish people would study the history of these things before assuming we gave a darn about those people.

We told the French to go ahead and move back into their Eastasian colonies, but please get out of the MidEast. You see how that worked. Arabs have a bad habit of stabbing their benefactors in the back.

Have to say I'm confused; not by Obama's religious affiliations or just 'faith' but your take. . .

The next paragraph - and more - from Daniel Pipes - only confirm that Obama's lips seldom move in synch with truth.

(Daniel Pipes: "Always" and "never" leave little room for equivocation. But many biographical facts, culled mainly from the American press, suggest that, when growing up, the Democratic candidate for president both saw himself and was seen as a Muslim.)

Not best writing; perhaps; but point made; and same point of 'faith' per Obama; that I hold to; and same point that Daniel Pipes holds to as well.

Am guessing you agree. . .but not sure!
