Maybe I Missed Something!

The following is from a pdf file of sermon from Barack Hussein Obama's "spiritual mentor" as published in Trinity Church's publication, "The Trumpet." (Published by the Reverend's daughter.)
The following quote is from a wide-ranging diatribe, which includes among other things, calls for US divestiture in Israel. But even amidst the Reverend's other crackpot and racist statements, this one jumped out:
Maybe I Missed Something!
A Message From our PASTOR, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., Senior Pastor
In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just “disappeared” as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns.
Again, Reverent Wright is the man that Mr. Obama claims got him interested in politics. He speaks of him as his political father and even his surrogate father.

Maybe we missed something, when so many put so much faith in a person we knew nothing about.Pastor inspires Obama’s ‘audacity’
By Manya A. Brachear
January 21, 2007When he took over Trinity United Church of Christ in 1972, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. was a maverick pastor with a wardrobe of dashikis and a militant message...
Obama, was not a churchgoer at the time, but he found himself returning to the sanctuary of Trinity United. In Wright he had found both a spiritual mentor and a role model...
[Wright] eventually returned to Howard University to finish bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English with a focus on African spirituals. At the University of Chicago Divinity School, he earned another master’s in the history of religions with a focus on Islam…
In his 1993 memoir "Dreams from My Father," Obama recounts in vivid detail his first meeting with Wright in 1985. The pastor warned the community activist that getting involved with Trinity might turn off other black clergy because of the church’s radical reputation.
When Obama sought his own church community, he felt increasingly at home at Trinity...
Later he would base his 2004 keynote speech to the Democratic National Convention on a Wright sermon called "Audacity to Hope," – also the inspiration for Obama’s second memoir, "The Audacity of Hope."
Though Wright and Obama do not often talk one-on-one often, the senator does check with his pastor before making any bold political moves.
Last fall, Obama approached Wright to broach the possibility of running for president. Wright cautioned Obama not to let politics change him, but he also encouraged Obama, win or lose…
Ping.
Vocally supporting those who attacked us on 9-11. Why? They were not white.
Another one of the Reverend's bon mots.
"Fact number eight: we started the AIDS virus, and now that it is out of control we still put more money in the military than in medicine. More money in hate than humanitarian concerns."

The ancestos of the 9/11 terrorists are the ones who led the slave trade in Africa, too
Reverend Wright really believes that people of color (at least those in the Middle East) are all Black. ("Black" by the way is always capitalized by him, while "white" normally isn't.)
Consequently, according to Mr. Wright and his Afrocentric church, Cleopatra was black. (Though in fact she was a Macedonian.) And, indeed, Jesus was black.
So what the Reverend is saying here is that America was attacked by Blacks for ignoring Black concerns.
His flock, knowing his usage, would certainly have understood it that way.
Maybe the good reverend should be investigated as a possible terrorist, or terrorist supporter. He definitely qualifies on the latter charge.
The problem for the Clintons is getting that black vote back after they finish smearing Hussein Obama all over the sidewalk. I guess they figure a Bill Richardson V.P. will offset the black vote with the hispanic vote.
The Pastor whines on for four pages about how the focus on homosexual marriage is distracting the United Church of Christ from more pressing issues of concern to Blacks. The Pastor seems especially chagrined that the pro-homosexual-union forces are appropriating the terminology and tactics of the US civil rights movement.
Question 1: How are gay activists going to react when it is revealed that Obama's "Spiritual Father" is a seething homophobe? (Note that I use the term because they use the term)
Question 2: Can any Democrat win the nomination if the gay activist class is calling for his head?
This guy is a fruitcake. The muzzies would just as soon whack off his head for professing to be a Christian as any other person not ascribing to the "religion" of islam.
He's a close pal of Minister Louis Farrakhan's.
So he probably has nothing to worry about from the Muslims.
(Until they find out what the NOI is passing off as Islam.)
"I would have rather seen him get the nomination so we could expose this closet Muslim, black supremest."
I think Obama is more of an OREO Supremecist.

Yes, Reverend Wright is a "homophobe." But that's probably one of the least of his problems.
Though of course you're right. You'd think that alone would be enough to cause Obama problems. But it will be ignored.
Look at Keith Ellison. He was a Farrakhan acolyte. And Farrakhan hates homosexuals almost as much as Jews.
But it didn't stop Ellison from being elected.
Also, while we are on the subject, Reverend Wright hates Jews with a passion. As I mentioned in passing, he wants to "divest" from Israel.
He is completely pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel.
But that won't faze the Democrats -- and not even the Jews either.
Only Republicans can hate in their world.
Well, not to brag, but I was the first person anywhere to post about Obama's church, and then about his pastor. (See the related links.)
Unfortunately, some of the pieces I posted here weeks ago on the subject were removed. And some were hidden away.
Nevertheless some of that material got forwarded to Hannity.
By the way, your tagline is disgusting.
And I have seen where the moderators have asked you to remove it, and you still haven't.
Lose the tagline. Thank you.
