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."

“Jesus wept” John 11:35
Ya’ll are racist to try and use this against Obama. Besides this just “guilt by association.” He ain’t responsible for what the pastor said...
(/sarc)
Is there a thread for that YouTube on FR? If not- we need one. That is the most outrageous, hateful, racist crap I’ve ever heard coming from a pulpit.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR IT.
This is the man who has influenced Barack Obama for over TWENTY YEARS...
I don’t “let” or control anything. Not the Clintons, not ABC, not Rush, not Hannity, not Larry Sinclair, not FR.
Those “archives of crap” haven’t stuck to her up until now.
What makes you think they’ll ever be an issue later?
The media do not care about her scandals. They would care about Obama’s scandals because they’d be new. But, by helping the Clintons, Rush has actually helped usher in a new Clinton presidency...maybe what he wanted all along.
“EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR IT.”
Not now. After he wins the nomination.
If it makes me a racist to hate race pimps, then I’ll be happy to own the label.
You have it exactly right.
He’s been able to hide that influence better than his wife has, though.
I had thought Obama would be eaiser to beat than the Clintons and was somewhat rooting for him along these lines. But this has sealed his fate and so be it. Obama has done everything he can to persuade voters he isnt “like that” but it aint going to wash.
In the back of my mind I wonder if the Clintons didnt have something to do with this speech.
I don’t believe so...there are many threads going on now with the other hate sermon. Would you like to start one? I’m not really an expert ;)
Unbelievable! Preaching Black Supremacy. Martin Luther King said years ago that the black man would be in the White House and the white man in the cotten fields. According to Wright, who sits on Osama Obama’s, who’s not even an American black & has less than 3 years of experience, campaign advisory committee, Osama Hussein Obama will make that dream come true. Scary indeed especially for the Caucasian community.

Wow... what a hatemonger.
Race pimp bump
And the one who married the couple. There is no excuse imaginable for a person with or without political aspirations to continue to go to that Church, or should I say cult?
