When he fulminates that his theology is “Black Theology” and all black churches preach hate this way, there was not a single peep in the media from Black Baptist pastors in the US objecting to his assertion.

I have, but I've also noticed no clergy has been questioning the tenets of what he seems to assert is a distinct denomination, believing that Jesus was a black persecuted by white "garlic nose" Italians.

The issue of Liberation Theology really hasn't been explored yet, in the context of Obama as a practitioner. Nor has it's, and Obama's connections to Marxism. Remember his political mentor was Frank (Davis-last name left out of his book), a poet and Chicago political organizer who moved to Hawaii, where Obama met him. Also an admitted member of the American Communist Party. And Obama followed in his footsteps. Consider why someone from Indonesia and Hawaii, who went to school in California and NYC, ends up as a political activist in Chicago. My guess Davis was the connection.

I haven't bought either of Obama's books, but I was browsing through the first one in a bookstore a few weeks ago, and read the passage where he described how he wound up going from Columbia to Chicago. As he told it, some guy in New York was looking for someone to be a community organizer in Chicago and recruited him for the job. I don't think it was Frank Davis.

At least that's how Obama told the story.
