The liberal media has never told us exactly what being a “Community Organizer” entailed. For Barack Obama, it meant basically getting money from local, state and federal governments to subsidize his hate church and other left-wing organizations.

People have no idea how much the funding of Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and other leftist groups comes from the taxpayer. With the help of Community Organizers like Barack H. Obama, of course.

Amazing how long it has taken for this information to come out.

From Hotair:

“Update (Ed): After AP posted this, I tooled around through the FedSpending.org database to see how these grants got allocated. The database covers all grants and contracts for fiscal years 2000-2007 and is a great resource. According to the search, TUCC received its last grant in FY2001, for $150,000 under a program to “Improve the Health Status of Minority Populations”.

After 2001, the grants apparently stopped, which might also explain some of the hostility Wright felt for the federal government.”

So...now the truth is known, but this liberal commie writer just had to bring up ‘Faith based Initiatives’ from the Bush Administration (which was not even passed when the church got it’s last grant)

Color me pissed off at another MSM biased article.

Now you know where the $10 million came from for Jeremiah's new crib.

And the chorus sings...

"Gimme, gimme, you rotten whiteys! Down with the USA!"

How does a church get Federal grant money? (more like WHY) What happened to separation of church and state, huh?

Giving the good “Reverend Wright” our money is beyond obscene.

“Rev.” Wright and the UCC are laughing all the way to the bank:

“Since 2003, the administration has increased grants to faith-based organizations by 20 percent. That’s a positive development; that’s the kind of news that I like to hear, particularly when those faith-based programs are changing America one soul at a time.”—George W. Bush

The downside of faith based iniatives. At least the little ones are getting an “appropriate” education. President Obama would approve, and expand the program.

IRS needs to do a thorough investigation of this church. Preaching politics (of racial hatred) from the pulpit, lining the pockets of the pastor with money from the public trough, etc., is NOT the way my church works. It shouldn’t be the way ANY church works. Their “church” IRS status should be yanked.

I guess that whole Church and State thing doesn’t count if its a black church.

Then again, they don’t preach any recognizable gospel there, so maybe there’s no conflict.
