Sen. Barack Obama says that a pro-Hamas op-ed printed in his church's bulletin was "outrageously wrong."
In an issue dated July 22, 2007, in a section titled "Pastor's Page," the Trinity United Church in Chicago reprinted an article by Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzook. The article, which originally appeared as an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, justifies the Palestinian terrorist group's denial of Israel's right to exist.
The church's pastor, Jeremiah Wright Jr., who retired this year, has stirred controversy for Obama's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination with statements likening Israel to colonialists and blaming attacks on the United States in part on its support for Israel.
In slamming the Hamas piece, Obama noted that he strongly rejects some of his longtime pastor's views. "I have already condemned my former pastor's views on Israel in the strongest possible terms, and I certainly wasn't in church when that outrageously wrong Los Angeles Times piece was re-printed in the bulletin," Obama said in a statement e-mailed to JTA late Thursday.

Blah blah blah. You still will not leave your hate spewing “Church” and will not cease to have a vile bigot as your “Spiritual Advisor.” Nice try, Barry.
He blasted it? What did he say - “This sucks, you guys are killing my chances of getting elected by telling people what I really think?”
Obama was for Hamas before he was against them?
How can they even call that a church?
The church that keeps on giving.
Team Clinton reacts to Obama's latest statement:
I begin to see a pattern here: he's never around when the "outrageous" things happen and he knows nothing until he's hit over the head with them. This is the "I'm stupid" excuse.
Attempting to distance himself from his racist past? The rookie doesn't have it in him...
The Truth about Black Liberation Theology and Trinity church
Seems he belonged to the church for 20 years, but somehow was never there when the ‘bad’ stuff was said and printed in church bulletins. Who would not believe that the junior Senator from Illinois was not telling the whole truth. I will tell you. “Typical white people” know he is lying through his teeth, and this same group will never vote fpr him and his “Black Liberation Theology’
The drip, drip, drip is beginning to unhinge poor Barry. But what will really do him in, what he will be unable to answer or spin, is whether he agrees with the tenets of Black Liberation Theology which his Trinity UCC was founded upon. If he says he disagrees with BLT, then he is a fraud for staying at the church. If he says he agrees with BLT but not with how Pastor Wright espouses it, then he is done. Either way it is the BLT question that will be the gotcha moment for poor Barry. He is caught in a trap and does not realize the more he squirms, the tighter it gets. Kinda like quicksand, he is sinking deeper and deeper and there is no one who can rescue him.
Sorry Barry. It was published last June in your church newsletter. I’m not buying this one, either.
Reverend Bullfrog meets President Clintoon
He sure missed a lot of church over the years.
LOL - Thanks to that so-called church, we’re going to have a fresh news item every Sunday.
