No.. I hadn’t seen that. But, Obama’s claims the he “just didn’t know” how racist Wright is, will simply not hold water. There’s just no way this guy ONLY preached this madness 1 or 2 times... no way.
Obama has hung himself with these denials.... it will be a slow drip, drip drip from here on out.
Truth is.. this kind of stuff IS preached in black churches all across America.. I’ve heard them... Most white people have no clue. They will be (are) appalled when confronted with it. This kind of stuff is the reason most blacks are actually in favor of reparations... while, most whites think it’s insane.
Yes, good - and somewhat scary - point. . .
Can remember my appall a few years ago - seeing a video of Al Sharpton as he addressed his NYC Congregation. It was not pretty; and the rousing message never became public fodder. There IS an 'MO' of hate/racism here and unfortuntely, there is plenty to go around.
It is interesting that you only have to change a face here; or the religious i.d. to see frightening similarities of a Marxist Christianity and totalitarian, radical Islam. And so we should not be surprised that Rev. Wright is happy to be counted as an admirer of Farrakhan.
Have to say - until now; had never thought of the similarities here, between 'Nation of Islam' and Black Liberation Theology, as per Rev. Wright; but they have the same starting point of disenfranchisement, anger, racism; and all share the same focus and hate-filled obsessions: whites//white male/'the rich'/corporations/Jews/Israel/GW Bush and every and all of America's white male European ancestors.
Move a little further, to the 'sermonizing' of a radical Imam; and you find the same obsessive hatred directed against the same targets.
All to say, if one shoe fits here; then chances are one will find the 'other two' an easy fit as they are bound by a far more encompassing hate and Marxist/totalitarian world view; than they are separated by dogma. Our 'Left' here is all too anxious to put Rev. Wright's church (and Louie's and the jihdist Imam for that matter) on their annointed ground of their equal playing field
We must resist the political correctness that would have us do the same; while waking up to the greater implications of Obama's 'branded Christianity' and where it's affinities lie.
