Obama’s Feeble Attempt to Distance Himself From His Pastor’s Anti-American Screeds
Beacon Street Journal ^ | 3/16/08 | John Kinsellagh

Posted on 03/16/2008 7:29:34 AM PDT by beacon street bandit

Mr. Clean, the self-appointed New Messiah of Unity and Harmony, has been badly sullied by the controversy surrounding his long association with the pastor of his church, who on numerous occasions, has said some very disparaging things about white people— those same folks, who to a large extent, are responsible for many of his primary victories.

Watching the videos of Obama's lunatic pastor stirring up his congregation with racist rhetoric and then seeing them nod their heads in agreement to his inflammatory charges was downright

“I’m sick of the rant that America is a racist Country.”

If America was a racist country there would have been riots in the streets when a black athlete cut the throat of his blond white wife and her white friend. At the very least, a lynch mob would have burnt down the jail.

Instead, the athlete was acquitted and blacks all over the country CHEERED.

Who was more obsessed about their race?

1) Obama is the rock, Hillary! is the hard place, and the democrat party is in the middle.

2) Don’t blame the British, they got rid of slavery in the 1820s or 30s.

3) I believe it was Liberia, not Libya that was started by freedmen.

Thanks for the link - very informative. “”Those ‘quiet riots’ that take place every day are born from the same place as the fires and the destruction and the police decked out in riot gear and the deaths,” Obama said” He keeps referring the the “quiet riots” like what was going on before the Rodney King riots - and says these “quiet riots” are still going on...which means what? Just wait until I’m in charge and the quiet riots will erupt and we’ll be in charge?
He goes to Katrina and says the poverty and inequality for the blacks was going on for many decades before Katrina, but fails to mention that N. O. had been under BLACK DEMOCRAT rule for decades.

He tells about how the black churches “were generous” in helping after Katrina but doesn’t mention all the white churches and white people that donated millions of dollars and countless man hours helping.

And on it goes.

WE need to keep in mind that these ‘quiet riots’ have been simmering for years - and the LA riots may well erupt across this land once the militant blacks - who do not follow the teachings or the DREAM of MLK Jr.

How many of them today even realize that MKL Jr. was a - gasp - Republican?

The blacks that follow his DREAM are - Republicans.

The people who fought from the very beginning for the end of slavery, for black rights have been/are - Republicans.

The blacks of today have been sold snake oil by the democrats.

They should take a look at this site - and anything there they don’t believe, they can check the truth of by GOOGLING.

"If I had heard them repeated," is delightfully Clintonesque.

The key word is repeated.

Juan Williams says that he would walk away from a church that preached that kind of hate.

Yes, I was a bit surprised the Williams didn't support the "O" - I think Juan has been hanging out around republicans too long, bits and pieces are getting stuck on him. Wonder if he even realized it.

Tim Pussart just had Dems on camera who essentially said there was no more controversy because he’s denounced Rev. Wrong.


"I denounced him in 2008 for spouting racism after I gave him a $22,500 donation in 2006 for spouting racism. Compared to me, in the Flip Flop Department, John Kerry, you are strictly Minor League."

Lybia was founded by freed US slaves that went back to Africa.

Almost right, that should be "Liberia". The home of ex-slaves, oil wells, and flag country for a big chunk of the world's merchant fleet.

Excellent article. I'm sure the Obama machine will try to dismiss everything on the subject as just more ''hatin' on Barack Obama'' in the words of the good Pastor Wright.

Kind of fun to watch actually.

Well I assume you think this is all Clinton's doing but you need to realize she and no one in her camp has been going to that church for years recording sermons. The reason there is any tapes in the first place is Jeremiah Wright's insistence on selling them. And further more who gives a ____ if the rats destroy each other in a brutal primary. They are now at a point where it doesn't matter which candidate gets the nomination. People think Obama is a closet muslim who goes to racist church and has some really questionable friends. His wife also hates America. Hillary on the other hand is Hillary. One of the most divisive politicians in years. She has high negatives. If she gets the nomination black voters will think she stole the nomination from Obama and will stay home.

Well, didn't the MSM give Bush a pass when he visited Bob Jones University ONE time? Oh yeah, they DID NOT. The good thing about the REV is we now understand why black people cheered when OJ walked after killing his white wife.

If the MSM isn't racists, they'll hold Obama to the same standard they would hold a Republican who went to a church for 20 years run by a member of the John Birch Society or the KKK.

It's time for the MSM to get real. Or as the Rev would say, they're "doing to us what he did to Monica - riding the dirty way" or some such thing...

Obama has tried to deflect criticism by characterizing Wright as akin to a “crazy old uncle who you love despite his imperfections.”

The senator’s insistence that he was unaware of Wright’s bizarre views until just recently has been scoffed at by a spokeswoman for Senator Hillary’s campaign. “He says he’s a regular church-goer,” said Naomi Harridan, co-chair of Clinton’s Pennsylvania campaign. “He’s been listening to this crap for 20 years. He can’t not have known.”

Obama challenged Harridan’s contention by asserting that “like many of my fellow parishioners and, I dare say, many church-goers across America, I’ve slept through the vast majority of the sermons.”

Yes I have noticed they have been taking some stuff down.

I hope some people have them cached - we'll need them if he gets the dimRat nomination.

I have them in favorites - but they would disappear - indeed some have. I don't know how to transfer them to my hard-drive.

Some that have been purged from YouTube can still be accessed on the FOX And ABC sites - they have partial videos of some of the most egregious -

We need to capture them -

I noticed that even on BLOGS that had them linked, they now come up with "this video is no longer available"

I don't know if they can eliminate the FOX and ABC ones, as I believe they purchased the videos...?

I believe the Clinton's are behind this - the REV just made it easier. And think about it - the tapes were sold - what are the odds anyone in the "church" didn't have some clue about where this hater stood?

If you missed the sermon, you could buy the tapes. Obama knew. Or he was an idiot. Either way, even though he's still better than Hillary, he's not fit for office.

If you ever get copies of them you might want to RAR or Zip them up and pass them around to your friends.
