OBAMA: In times of economic scarcity, ahm, generally, ahh, the politicians in this country, right now, ahh, want to look for scapegoats, want to organize around race, as opposed to around principle, and around values, ahh, and I think that's a mistake, and I think that can be countered, but it's gonna require the kinds of grassroots mobilization, ahh, and, and the kinds of work at a local level that I think, ahh, I talk about a lot in, in those chapters on Chicago.
INTERVIEWER: Wonderful man there, Reverend Wright?
OBAMA: Right! [ED: WRIGHT ?!?] And...
INTERVIEWER: Yeah...
OBAMA: ...ahh, who is, who is, ahh, my pastor, and, ahh, he is a wonderful man, and I think it, ahh, that's an example of, ahh, he's a pastor of a, of a large congregation in Chicago, and one of the interesting things that I discovered in my journey to discover...
INTERVIEWER: Mmm-hmm...
OBAMA: ...what my identity is, and who my father is, is also discovering sort of, ahh, my own faith, which, which is not, ahh, necessarily a traditional faith - I don't come out of an institutionalized religious setting, but, ahh, ahh, what becomes important to me is I work with, ahh, churches in...
INTERVIEWER: Mmm-hmm...
OBAMA: ...the South Side of Chicago in low income neighborhoods, ahh, is to realize that, you know, all the stories and songs of the church, ahh, you know that, that, the hope that is embodied...
INTERVIEWER: Yeah...
OBAMA: ...in the church, that, that the sense of, of, of, of liberation that is embodied in the African-Am, historically African-American church, ahh, is really something that, that, that moves me deeply, and I think ahh, ahh, is probably the main pillar around which a lot of inner cities', ahh, communities are going to be built, and Reverend Wright ahh, ahh, my pastor who, I, I speak about in the chapter in the book, I think represents the best of what, ah, The Black Church has to offer.
Setting aside the internal inconsistency of his soliloquy [at the beginning, it's wrong for politicians to "organize around race", but by the end, organizing around race represents some sort of a pseudo-political nirvana], and also setting aside the fact that he lied through his teeth when he said that he didn't "come out of an institutionalized religious setting" [since we now know that Lolo Soetoro took him to Madrassas and that he memorized the Koran in Arabic], if you examine what Obama is saying here, then the starkness of the cynicism and nihilism is just breathtaking.
What is it that attracts Obama to the "church"?
What is this non-traditional faith which he has discovered for himself?
Does his "faith" involve spreading a gospel of Love, or Truth, or Logos?
No - his "faith" springs out of "stories and songs... and hope", and forms the "pillar" upon which the communities of cities ["cities" plural, not "city" singular] can be "built" [i.e. "organized" into a political movement].
This is like an intellectual fusion of Antonio Gramsci and the Spanish Inquisition - this guy Barack Hussein Obama II is a monster.
""Wright represents the best of what the Black church has to offer..."HOLY SH*T! I DREAD TO THINK WHAT THE REST OF IT IS LIKE!"
5 “ahh’s” in one sentence!
I attended a black church in the last couple of years, and it was nothing like Rev. Wright's/Obamas's church. There was no hate spewing from the pulpit at the church I attended.
I haven’t heard this one- is it a “new” release?
A political power base, nothing more.
What is this non-traditional faith which he has discovered for himself?
A racist ideology powerful enough to enlist a frenzy among an indentured constituency.
This is like an intellectual fusion of Antonio Gramsci and the Spanish Inquisition - this guy Barack Hussein Obama II is a monster.
He takes nihilism to a whole new level.
YES. BUMP IT TO THE TOP.
SPREAD THE WORD.
THIS MUST BE PLAYED BY RUSH, HANNITY, SAVAGE, LEVIN AND EVERYONE ELSE.
WE ARE THE NEW MEDIA.
TELL YOUR FAMILY, TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
EMAIL.
MAKE PHONE CALLS.
TELL THEM: BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II IS A GRAMSCIAN MONSTER WHO MUST BE DEFEATED.
Just..breathtaking, isn’t it?
I’ve sent it everywhere already!
And Wright's church is UCC, which voted a few years back on whether Jesus Christ is Lord. They voted 'yes', but each congregation can decide for itself.
Wow. I sent this to my email list.
People in swing states really need to see this.
Obama’s pastor Wright is a FORMER MUSLIM like Obama himself !
Heh...
I wonder how many more videos and other embarassing items there are out there for Obambi’s campaign staff to have to deal with. I love saying “There is no such thing as historical inevitability.” And right now...Obambi is about to get a very harsh lesson indeed in just what that means.
Emailed out.
This bum Wright (if he’s a reverend, I’m the Queen of England) needs to be the cherry on top of McCain’s sundae.
Thanks for transcribing this video, KayEyeDoubleDee.
Ping.
Incredible!
Obama is an Unbelievable RACIST and LIAR!!!

How do all the black churches get away with promoting democrats 24*7? Not just that, the democrats go to these churches and give political speeches.
Why is their tax-free status not revoked for political gaming?
