The spinners of the Obama campaign and the Illinois senator's Old Media sycophants that have been trying to convince Americans that the remarks of Rev. Jeremiah Wright have been misquoted or taken out of context are probably going to get drunk tonight if they have not already done so. Many of them sat with dropped jaw this morning as they watched Barack Obama's former pastor repeat the outrageous claims made in several sermons over the past few years.
Flanked by bodyguards on loan from Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam, Rev. Wright played to a packed and stacked audience at the National Press Club. I hosted an Christian evangelical pastor at the breakfast, both of us hoping to hear Rev. Wright clear up the misunderstanding of his words that sounded so hateful and anti-American.
Instead, the Washington press corps and by the end of the day most interested Americans will have heard Rev. Wright confirm and defend his "controversial" statements and do it in an angry and arrogant manner. Perhaps the first clue to how the event would play out was when I spotted Cornell West, a black radical. Later on I would read from Dana Milbank's reporting in The Washington Post that Wright's guests included Marion Barry, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad.
Because I am a creature of Washington, I was only mildly offended at Rev. Wright's remarks. Much of America, however, will be shocked at the hateful bigotry coming out of the mouth of Obama's "spiritual mentor." At minimum, sensible people will be appalled at the rude treatment of National Press Club Vice President Donna Leinwand, attacked by Rev. Wright for reading questions submitted to the podium by members of the press.
Wright espoused "reconciliation" between the races, but stoked racial anger and rage. He reiterated that the United States brought 9/11 on itself and that the government created the AIDS virus to kill the black race. Oddly enough, Wright failed to mention Planned Parenthood, an organization established by eugenicist Margaret Sanger expressly for the purpose of black genocide.
Rev. Wright did not necessarily sink Obama's White House hopes, but he did not help them, either. The recent press tour that Rev. Wright has been doing will keep the focus on Obama's ties to radicals, only a handful that have been discussed by the press. There are many of them lurking out there, waiting for a turn in the spotlight. Next up: Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, a fundraiser for Obama (and Iraqi insurgents.) I wrote about it in January, but the Old Media might catch up with the New Media at some point before November.
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
Obama’s chickens are coming home to roost.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Wright was on TV comparing America to Rome. So my question to Wright is this: When Jesus retired, did the Romans let him live in a 1.6 million dollar house with a 10 million dollar line of credit?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! The really amazing thing is that this arrogant young fellow actually thinks he could be elected!! I have been a bit concerned about Virginia going Democratic. Not this time around, FRiends. Pass the popcorn - the fun is just beginning.

That is what this little speaking tour is about ... walking around money for Wright. The good thing about his lusty ego is that it hurts Hussien.
This guy is trying to start a war between the whites and the blacks. If that’s what he really wants...........well.......do be it. The media will keep promoting this in the hopes they have something to report on. They make the news, not report on it.
Is this the same Jeff Gannon of ‘fake White House correspondent’ fame?

“..Americans will have heard Rev. Wright confirm and defend his “controversial” statements and do it in an angry and arrogant manner.”
Say what? I have been assured by the Feds and the MSM that the race problems, so noticable in the 50s and 60s have all been ironed out and that everybody and his dog is now holding hands singing Kumbaya. What gives?
Gee, I don’t know. But he is a real member of the National Press Club.
J Wright owes much of his success to a runaway ego.
It was a pipe dream for Team Obama to think that Wright wouldn’t seek the spotlight and continue to pour water on the BHO fire.
......J Wright owes much of his success to a runaway ego.....
It looks like he’s been hitting the whitening creme pretty regular too.
true he's lighter than a suntanned Irishman like myself, but I'm sure his right-brain creative intuitive black mental processes are still true to form..........
Wright again claims, this time at the National Press Club, that because he was a military veteran he is a patriot and Dick Cheney is not.
Well Rev Wright, Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine and Timothy McVeigh was a decorated Gulf War veteran of the army.
Jeff Gannon gave us a good view of Wright’s insanity speech. I’m glad he’s a member of the National Press Club. He keeps us updated on the enemedia.
