Obama's Church: Cauldron of Division

Reprint Information Book on Katie Couric Makes Waves White House: We're Not Subject to FOIA FBI Seeks 2 Mysterious Men on Ferry Publisher: Conservatives Do Read As Much As Liberals Romney Shrugs Off Mormon History Film

Presidential candidate Barack Obama preaches on the campaign trail that America needs a new consensus based on faith and bipartisanship, yet he continues to attend a controversial Chicago church whose pastor routinely refers to "white arrogance" and "the United States of White America."

In fact, Obama was in attendance at the church when these statements were made on July 22. .....

"He couldn't have been with the militant black separatist that morning, because he was spending the afternoon with militant Mexican separatists!"

Bwahahahahaha! This is so turned inside-out, isn't it?

In the interview he gave Major Garrett on Fox Obama said that exactly.

Apparently it is ok to Obama that they are said once but not repeated over and over.

GARRETT: So, quick yes or no. If had you heard them in person you would have quit?

OBAMA: If I had heard them repeated, I would have quit. I mean, obviously, understand that — understand that, you know, this is somebody who is like an uncle to me. He's somebody who helped me find Christ. And somebody who always talked to me in very powerful ways about relationship to God and our obligations to the poor.

If somebody makes a mistake, then obviously, you recognize — I make mistakes. We all make mistakes. If I thought that that was the repeated tenor of the church, then I wouldn't feel comfortable there.

But, frankly, that has not been my experience at Trinity United Church of Christ.

A fact that every body seems to be missing is that the Democrat debate was held Monday night, July 23, 2007 in Miami. I do not think Obama would give a speech at 1:30 p.m. then fly back to attend a 6:00 p.m. sermon given by Wright at his church then fly back to Miami for the debate.

What makes sense is that the church switched the schedule around so that Wright preached at 7:30 a.m. and then Wright and Obama flew to Miami together. Do you think Obama would have his august spiritual adviser with him for a major event like a major Democrat Debate?


That is one possible scenario. In my post 348, I found a link that says he gave his La Raza speech at 1:50 pm on July 22. Aren't there three sermons: 7:30, 11, and 6 pm? The 7:30 am sermon would be no problem. The 11 am sermon would be a tighter schedule. I agree that is doubtful he flew back for the 6 pm service.

He only said the N word every other Sunday so it doesn't count according to Obama.

How many OTHER black racist churches are out there?

This is definitly NOT THE ONLY ONE.

I bet many black churches are now scrambling to sanitize their web feeds in order to protect their race based candidates.

THINK LOCAL ELECTIONS FOLKS...

You mean Moss’ style is more like that of Barack Obama. While listening to his remarks at Hampton University, he SOUNDED like he was just recounting history (the LA riots) but I understood his THEME to be a call for riots across the country.

..I don't place my hand over my heart for the Star Spangled Banner. But I do for the Pledge of Allegiance. I think that is pretty much the norm. Since this was the during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner I don't see why it is such a big deal.

It wouldn't be a big deal if Obama wasn't an America hating, crypto-communist mole.

That was the first time I’ve seen O squirm. And Major was the first journalist who held him accountable.

Commentators during the weekend news were quick to point out that these sentiments are common in black churches. Shades of the 1960’s.

"Since he announced his candidacy for the presidency, he's only been there about 50% of the time -- but strangely, whenever he isn't there, Dr. Wright isn't there either."

That bears repeating. Often. Casts reasonable doubt on Obama's claims of innocence. I wondered the other day on another thread whether Obama would stoop to saying something like "whenever he said something I didn't agree with, I stuck my fingers in my ears and hummed REALLY LOUD".

Looks like that may be his only option soon, LOL.

We can be assured that, during the course of O’s 20 year membership, these tenets were preached often.

"If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me," Wright told The New York Times with a shrug. "I said it to Barack personally, and he said 'yeah, that might have to happen.'"

Obama is a clever politician.

Obama has been a member of this cult church for some 20 years. When a person is a member of such a church for such a long period of time and claims a soul connection with it's pastor wouldn't that person be in complete agreement with the sentiments of that church? When you nod in agreement from the pew about what the preacher is preaching well, that in itself pretty much sums it up!

I had been a member of a church in Georgia for 18 years before moving to Illinois, I was in complete agreement with my pastor and congregation, we were a bible preaching and very scriptural church. No politics and no hate mongering were ever preached. I would still be there if not for moving away from Georgia.

Obama is a wolf in sheep's' clothing and a shill for the Muslims and the racists of America. He is a pathological liar and hates America and all she stands for.. He wants change alright and if he wins this election, put on your seat belts because we will be in for the ride of our lives. No holding him back from changing all we stand for- life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!

Obama and his wife seem to hate America more than they hate being Black!

"Democrats/liberals and the MSM embrace black racism--so they had no major problem with what the Pastor said. To democrats,,,it just is NOT a big deal!!!"

It's not so much they embrace it as white guilt and willful denial that any race other than whitey is capable of being racist.

I fear his wife more than him. I think she is the driving force behind him.

While we are on the subject of Michelle Obama, I wonder where she has been during all this up roar? Nothing on the MSM about her. Is the Obama campaign keeping her in a closet until they think this has blown over? Afraid she will spew more venom on the wound?

Yes, I think they are keeping her in Low Profile for a while Keeping her Mocking Bird mouth out of the news so her pathological lying husband can go about his campaigned unencumbered by her vitriol toward our beautiful country.

I fear he is the beginning of the end of this country as we know it!

I pray MC Cain with all his faults can still save this country from destruction. I hope that all republicans can put down their differences with McCain and vote republican. Now is not the time to stand on a personal dogmatic idea. Now is the time to unite behind a man that we know is at least half right for our country instead of leaving it to be destroyed by the two who we know will sell us down the proverbial creek with no paddle whatsoever! All said IMHO.
