Keep Talking Reverend Wright, Keep Talking…
Beacon Street Journal ^ | 4/29/08 | John Kinsellagh

In an earlier post, I had argued that, media adulation notwithstanding, Obama’s Philadelphia speech on race was insufficient in a number of respects to put the matter of Jeremiah Wright behind him. The only ones buying Obama’s specious explanation for his long-term voluntary association with his incendiary, racist preacher were his adoring and compliant fans in the press. Obama’s speech on race afforded him an auspicious opportunity for a Sister Souljah moment with regards to the divisive, anti-American ramblings of Reverend Wright. He did not rise to the occasion. He may now regret it.

Obama pleaded with us that he could no more disown Jeremiah Wright than he could his own white grandmother. In short, Obama refused to throw Wright under the bus. As he strutted about the stage afforded him by the NAACP and the National Press Club, it is clear that Jeremiah Wright is not similarly disposed towards his former parishioner. Taunting, and at times, mocking Obama, an ego maniacal Reverend Wright made it clear that

The more he talks, the more people realize what sort of person Wright is. What is equally important is to look into what Wright actually teaches and what Obama has listened to for the last 20 years.

Wright teaches Black Liberation Theology that was the creation of the black radical James Hal Cone, who took the Latin American Liberation Theology that had been created by Marxists to lure poor catholics into their "revolution" (because they knew their totally Godless marxism would not work), and revamped it for blacks in America.

This theology teaches that Christ was an oppressed black man living under whitey rule (the Romans) who was as much or more of a social revolutionary against white oppression as he was about spiritual salvation. In this sense, the theology is much closer to what the Islamics teach about Christ than what true Christians teach about Him.

It is a hate-filled, bigoted, anti-American, race bating, marxist construct. Here is what it's creator, James Hal Cone, says about it, the same James Hal Cone who Wright constantly refers to and holds up as an icon:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
This then is the trough from which Barack Hussein Obama has fed and the well from which he has drunk deeply for the past 20+ years.

Obama owes his entire political career to Wright. And thus, he has now proven the age-old addage: Those who live by the sword (Wright’s ravings), die by the sword.

Same goes for Ayers. Obama's "right of passage" through Ayers leads to the same place. And that is, hopefully, soonest, the absolute ash heap of American politics.

From CNN.com from March 18, 2008:

"Had I heard those statements in the church, I would have told Reverend Wright that I profoundly disagree with them," Obama said, adding, "What I have been hearing and had been hearing in church was talk about Jesus and talk about faith and values and serving the poor."

They likely suspect Hillary got to Rev. Wright. I wonder if B.H. Obama’s security has been upgraded. Clintons are getting desperate like cornered animals.

"I served 6 years in the Marines. How many did Cheney serve."

This tells me all I need to know about the 'Revrund'. Reinstate, lower in rate, DH discharge.

Oh, btw, how come we haven't heard a peep out of Jesse or Big Al about the 'Revrund'??

Apparently Wright was in the Marines for only 2 years (1961-1963, then transferred to the Navy, where he was a corpsman. His Wikipedia biography shows a photo of him as part of a team treating LBJ in Bethesda when LBJ was President.

Wright was mocking Cheney yesterday for never having served. He didn't mention Bush by name but I think he alluded to him elsewhere in his speech. I think Bush was in a lot more danger flying planes in the Texas National Guard than Wright was serving in a hospital in the DC area.

I'd say that their pucker factor just increased by an order of magnitude.
