Obama Spiritual Mentor: God Damn America

Obama's Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11

Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America".

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism."

In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.

Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."

The timing is impeccable, the odds of coincidence is minuscule considering the relationship between ABC and team mrs bill clintion.

Well, I had a step grandfather who was an outspoken anti-minority racial bigot. And he said some pretty nasty things. All I could do was change the subject around him.

BUT I would NEVER attend a church after I had figured out the head pastor was an outspoken racial bigot! And I find it extremely disturbing that Obamama would attend such a church for two decades.

This pastor has damned himself and everyone who believes what he says unless they have a change of heart quick. I know that for a fact.

I wonder how long it will take for McCain to condemn those who bring this up?

If you are a McCain accepter, be prepared for him to repudiate you.

Agreed. You can’t choose your crazy uncle. Obama chose this church to raise his children in and to support financially.

Technically he isn't black. any more than he is white. He's a mulatto who claims to be black for political purposes.

ABC has clearly decided it is time to pull the plug on Obama so the delegates can give the nomination to Hillary.

I thought you could only channel dead people. Did I miss some good news regarding the status of Ward?

“Rev.” Wright admits via his “preachings” that he is anti-American, and an unapologetic racist.

Through her writings and speeches, Mrs. Obama indicates that she too is anti-American and racist.

If these are the points that guide BHO’s spiritual and domestic compasses, shouldn’t these be indicators of his beliefs?

I don’t doubt that. Just amusing ABC is so late to the party.

Don’t really know anyone who should be surprised by this.

Next thing we know, Keith “X” Ellison will say something stupid.

ABC freaking out, suddenly realizing that Obama will lose 40 states in November, and are trying desperately to knock him out before Denver.
