BARACK'S REV. 'STOLE A WIFE'
New York Post ^ | 05/04/2008 | SUSANNAH CAHALAN and VERONICA HINKE in Chicago and BRAD HAMILTON in New York

May 4, 2008 -- The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's loose cannon of a spiritual adviser, stole the wife of a parishioner - after the man sought Wright's help in saving his troubled marriage, the former husband told friends.

Delmer Reed, 59, confided to pals that he believed the minister moved in on his wife while Wright was counseling the couple at his Chicago church in the early 1980s, The Post has learned.

"That's exactly how he said it," Reed's divorce lawyer, Roosevelt Thomas, told The Post.

"It looks like Delmer might have been right," he said, because after Delmer and Ramah Reed were divorced, she got remarried - to Wright. "Either that or this was the biggest coincidence in the world."

Asked about the relationship between Wright and his ex-wife, Reed told The Post, "Oh, the things I could tell you."

Initially, he didn't believe the rumors.

"People were telling me that my extremely attractive wife was seen with the pastor," Reed said. "But I didn't believe it. I thought, 'So what?' "

Was he wrong in the end?

"Well, yeah," he said.

With the exception of hating, Wright’s actions bear some affinity to those of ‘The Kingfish’.

Seems Rev J Wright’s religious theology has served himself well.

People say believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear.
I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know...

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.

an “unwritten rule” that pastors don’t counsel married couples separately

the indecorous manner in which he’d obtained his wife.”

I have to commend Delmer Reed for his forgiveness. Anyone who can be forgiving of the pastor who was supposed to counsel them to get them back together and that pastor goes and steals his wife. Well, that man is a pretty big man. This is just more stuff to show what a scumbag the good Reverend is...

All the more reason why the fake reverend will become the latest “civil rights leader” and start drawing profits from the race industry.

Well, Reverend Wright is a low-rent hypocrite masquerading as a “man of God”. But, then again, we all knew that six months ago.
