This is fun.
“Keep talking, Barry.”
He sure doesn’t know how to laugh things off.
He should have taken care of this from the beginning, like, “I know he’s controversial but my church does a lot of charity work, let me tell you about it, we do etc. etc.”
Instead he needlessly insults Wright with sanctimonious indignation.
I’m looking forward to the Reverend’s book.
Hey BO. The genie is out of the bottle and won’t go back in.
He is trying to shove a wet noodle up a mad wildcat’s butt.
"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
He did, a candidacy which has provided a national platform for an overt racist/America haters. The good Reverend will be with us for awhile, competing with Sharpton/Jackson/Farrakhan for attention.
Wonder what Michelle has to say, she struck me as a Rev. Wright fan.
Well, that's exactly what we have been waiting for. Now let the real fun begin!
Back to you Reverund Wright.
Obama's lame attempts to distance himself, though probably orchestrated for just this purpose, will not wash. Wright has just been too close for far, far too long. Since his ties to Obama are so deep and long standing, people are now looking at what Wright actually teaches, his ideology and theology, and what Obama has listened to for the last 20 years.
Wright teaches Black Liberation Theology that was the creation of the black radical James Hal Cone, who took the Latin American Liberation Theology that had been created by Marxists to lure poor catholics into their "revolution" (because they knew their totally Godless marxism would not work), and revamped it for blacks in America.
This theology teaches that Christ was an oppressed black man living under whitey rule (the Romans) who was as much or more of a social revolutionary against white oppression as he was about spiritual salvation. In this sense, the theology is much closer to what the Islamics teach about Christ than what true Christians teach about Him.
It is a hate-filled, bigoted, anti-American, race bating, marxist construct. Here is what it's creator, James Hal Cone, says about it, the same James Hal Cone who Wright constantly refers to and holds up as an icon:
"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."This then is the trough from which Barack Hussein Obama has fed and the well from which he has drunk deeply for the past 20+ years.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
Sister So-Late moment.
I can just see Jeremiah Wright winking and telling his admirers, “Barack doesn’t mean those things he’s saying today. He’s just saying what a politician has to say.”...And you, know, he’s actually right about something for a change.
It’s hard to tell. I think Obama was weaker but Hillary has stronger negatives. The Dem was going to get 90+ of the black vote anyway and the rednecks won’t vote for Hil or Obama. But I think McCain will do stronger where Hillary is weaker.
“If he considers this political posturing, then he doesn’t know me very well. And I don’t know him well either.”
After 20 years, they don’t know each other well?!
Was the victory cigar ‘flavored’?
Was the victory cigar ‘flavored’?
an ‘attack’ on Rev. Wright, is an attack on the ‘black church’ or so the Rev said.....
Now I really question BHO’s judgement....
Absolutely right on the money,
"And he was personally miffed by Wrights insults against him."
THAT I have a hard time believing. IMO, Obama and Wright are manufacturing this little falling out because Wright's views are hurting The Annointed One's image as a Uniter.
In addition, Obama's contention that Wright has somehow "changed" is an outright lie. (ANOTHER outright lie in an increasingly long string of them.
In transcript about the Press Club dinner in yesterdays Washington Post, Princeton University associate professor of politics and African American Studies Melissa Harris says, "I attended Trinity United Church of Christ during the seven years that I lived in Chicago: 1999-2006. This means that I was in the pews during many of these controversial sermons." before going on to defend Wright Obama-style.
Pull the other one Obama, it's got bells on.
Hey Obama....you be ridden dirty.
