(Clarification:)Obama Attended Hate America Sermon
newsmax.com ^ | 3/16/2008 | staff

Posted on 03/17/2008 10:04:03 AM PDT by kellynla

Clarification: The Obama campaign has told members of the press that Senator Obama was not in church on the day cited, July 22, because he had a speech he gave in Miami at 1:30 PM. Our writer, Jim Davis, says he attended several services at Senator Obama's church during the month of July, including July 22. The church holds services three times every Sunday at 7:30 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central time. While both the early morning and evening service allowed Sen. Obama to attend the service and still give a speech in Miami, Mr. Davis stands by his story that during one of the services he attended during the month of July, Senator Obama was present and sat through the sermon given by Rev. Wright as described in the story. Mr. Davis said Secret Service were also present in the church during Senator Obama's attendance. Mr. Davis' story was first published on Newsmax on August 9, 2007. Shortly before publication, Mr. Davis contacted the press office of Sen. Obama several times for comment about the Senator's attendance and Rev. Wright's comments during his sermon. The Senator's office declined to comment.

What gets me about this whole Jeremiah Wright thing is that even liberals are calling his stuff "hate-filled racist rhetoric," while, in my experience, it's what many educated blacks believe.

Why all the shock now?

Is anyone else genuinely disturbed by some of Obama's zealots with the "why wait for heaven?" line? I saw it stenciled on a sidewalk today with colored chalk. People promising heaven on earth usually deliver the exact opposite.

I usually just laugh at the crap the lefty students scrawl, but that line of thinking scares the living daylights out of me.

I agree. What time were YOU there Mr. Davis? That should resolve the time matter.

I’ve been trying to tell people here for months that Obama would be a disaster for the Democrats as their nominee. But people here kept insisting that Obama would win in a landslide and that we needed Hillary to be the ‘Rat candidate. Anyone doing a little digging knew there was a ton of stuff about Obama that would make him unelectable. Too bad it’s coming out now, just in time to save Hillary.

Oh well, I have no dog in this hunt anymore, since I can’t support McCain. But for those who want McCain to win, they would have been better off with Obama as the opposing nominee. Now they’ll have to fight Hillary, who is far more dangerous.

NEWSMAX doesn't “got to do better than that”

Obama has been attending weekly services at this “church” for TWENTY FRIGGIN’ YEARS! Obama not only KNEW about these anti-American, anti-white diatribes that anyone could purchase off the "church's" website but Obama also CONTRIBUTED to the “reverend” to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars!

Now we know why Obama doesn't wear an American flag on his lapel.

You can put a fork in this turkey!

What's juicy about this is that the Dem bigwigs will see that they HAVE to get rid of Obama because there is no way that a loony tune like this is going to get elected. So now, the Super Delegates will want to vote for Hillary, but if they do, there will be riots on the street, the party will be splintered, blacks will stay away in disgust, and the Dems will lose anyway.

What to do, what to do.....hehehehehehehe.

Does it matter if me missed one or not? Like any folks on here, I am a member of a religious congregation and if something even slightly entertaining, or humorous, or otherwise of note is mentioned at Sunday services, believe me EVERYONE knows about it within a few days.

If something controversial is spoken, it’s addressed at the service the very next week, and in the church bulletin etc. and there’s a resolution nearly immediately.

How about the hundreds of other folks that may actually be regulars in that “church” ? Not a peep out of them as to the evil spewing from that minister of hate? No one spoke up at all?

So the smoking gun is not whether or not Obama attended a specific service, but rather the fact that he was a continuing, active, contributing member of a congregation that either 1) sat idly by or 2) gobbled up the vitriol and hate, spewed by that minister.

It does not matter whether Obamie was at the church on July 22 or not. He attended this church for 20 years. Jerry was 'spiritual advisor' to his campaign. I'm quite sure this pastor didn't limit this type of rhetoric to one particular date.

Obamie believes every word of this venomous rhetoric. He's merely pretending to 'repudiate' it because he knows he could never win the Presidency if he was honest about what he believes.

Why all the shock now?

Because the race-mongering that the left has instigated and supported so well for so many years is now turning out to be a negative for THEM.

And since it's now their faces being slapped as a result of the seeds they've sown and carefully nurtured, they are shocked with indignant disbelief.

“Does it matter if me missed one or not? Like any folks on here, I am a member of a religious congregation and if something even slightly entertaining, or humorous, or otherwise of note is mentioned at Sunday services, believe me EVERYONE knows about it within a few days.”

Not to mention that if my pastor/preacher continues to talk about something I find objectionable, I’m not hanging around the church.

Obama’s a 20 year member.

Guilty by association.

One can only hope that Obama gets torpedoed by this web of lies and his association with that anti-American racist.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Don't forget Agreement by Association! If Obama didn't like what that anti-American racist had to say, he'd have left the church. But he didn't! Very telling, that...

“Obamie believes every word of this venomous rhetoric.”

And I guarantee no one in the MSM will ask him if he thinks 911 was an inside job or that we deserved it.

I wonder it Trinity United C of C still has all those sermons available for download?

I would be willing to bet that they have been sanitized by now.

However, me thinks there is going to surface that dreaded photo of Michelle and/or Obama dancing the jig at a service.
