Georgia GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler clapped back at former President Barack Obama’s defense of anti-American Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The former president justified Rev. Wright’s infamous “G-d damn America” sermon, claiming his words were taken out of context, and dubbed Rev. Wright as a "supremely gifted preacher."

"In national politics, if you can take out a bunch of sound bites that say 'God damn America,' even if the context of it is prophetic and biblical and he's trying to describe you know how somebody might feel – he wasn't promoting the notion that God was damning America," the former president said. "He was making a point that if you looked at slavery and discrimination you could see the conclusion of people feeling that there was not an alignment with Christian values and America. But if you see a two-minute sound bite, trying to explain that is too complicated."

Sen. Loeffler had a harsh response the former president’s defense of the controversial religious figure:

Kelly Loeffler @KLoeffler US Senate candidate, GA-Special Hi @BarackObama !

You know what’s actually crazy? Saying America got what it deserved on 9/11, that America created HIV, and “God D*** America.”

You know what’s even crazier? You & @ReverendWarnock celebrating it. https://foxnews.com/politics/obama-calls-georgia-sen-loeffler-attacks-on-opponent-warnock-over-rev-wright-crazy-stuff-defends-preacher #gapol #gasen

Gotta beat warnock. Another hate filled anti-American alleged man of God. Well played Senator Loeffler. Would it have been too much to include the "CIA/Crack cocaine/inner city conspiracy!" at the same time?

“Would it have been too much to include the “CIA/Crack cocaine/inner city conspiracy!” at the same time?”

How much trust do you really have in the CIA?

“He [Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock] attended Morehouse College, then the Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

There he earned advanced degrees and found a mentor in the Rev. Dr. James H. Cone, father of Black liberation theology ...”

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on “Hannity & Colmes:”

WRIGHT: If you’re not going to talk about theology in context, if you’re not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the ‘60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can’t talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I’m a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]

by Fr. Robert Sirico - FrontPageMagazine.com | June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These “liberation theologians” saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers. ...”

The Black church and Marxism: what do they have to say to each other

From David Horowitz’s DiscoverTheNetworks org:
Profile: LIBERATION THEOLOGY

“...liberation theology’s real creator was the Soviet Union’s foreign intelligence and domestic security agency, the KGB.

Patriarch Kirill, who today heads Russian Orthodox Church, secretly worked for the KGB under the code name “Mikhailov” and spent some 40 years promoting liberation theology.

Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc official ever to defect to the West, writes: “Liberation theology has been generally understood to be a marriage of Marxism and Christianity.

What has not been understood is that it was not the product of Christians who pursued Communism, but of Communists who pursued Christians....

Its genesis was part of a highly classified Party/State Disinformation Program, formally approved in 1960 by KGB chairman Aleksandr Shelepin and Politburo member Aleksei Kirichenko, then the second in the party hierarchy after Nikita Khrushchev.”

Adds Pacepa: “In 1971, the KGB sent Kirill — who had just been elevated to the rank of archimandrite — to Geneva as emissary of the Russian Orthodox Church to the World Council of Churches.... Kirill/Mikhailov’s main task was to involve the WCC in spreading the new liberation theology throughout Latin America.

In 1975, the KGB was able to infiltrate Kirill into the Central Committee of the WCC — a position he held until he was “elected” patriarch of Russia, in 2009. ...”

If you don’t know already, Obummer is the real demonrat candidate running for a third year behind his demented puppet Biden.
There has been no end to the real candidate’s blabbing since a couple of weeks before the election. He and his deep state buddies destroyed the integrity of the election with the help of the CCP.

What an odd battle to fight in 2020. I guess Kelly wants to distract from this:

As much as the fbi and doh-j. ZERO!

Politics, bed fellows. Strange.

[volunbeer]

Kelly is a squish. However, she is generally a reliable R in a sea of mostly squishy R’s.

Warnock is more radical than any democrat in the Senate.

The circular firing squad on the right about Kelly in Georgia is perplexing to me. I simply do not see how/why this benefits conservatives one bit.

The amount of attacks on her by “conservatives” should make everyone scratch their heads at this moment in time. These are the same people who wish for Susan Collins to lose because she is a squish. Newsflash - Kelly is more “conservative” than Collins.

I have a dream that one day conservatives will push conservatism from the bottom up starting at the state/local level. THIS is why we have Kelly and not a conservative firebrand, but the purists do not care. Apparently Trump does..... he will campaign for her bigly.

FALSANI: What do you believe?

OBAMA: I am a Christian.

So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.

On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.

I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.

My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.

And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.

FALSANI: Have you always been a Christian?

OBAMA: I was raised more by my mother and my mother was Christian.

FALSANI: Do you pray often?

OBAMA: Uh, yeah, I guess I do.

Its’ not formal, me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why am I doing it.

FALSANI: Who’s Jesus to you?

(He laughs nervously)

OBAMA: Right.

Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.

FALSANI: Do you have people in your life that you look to for guidance?

OBAMA: Well, my pastor [Jeremiah Wright] is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.

[minnesota_bound]

Use the current photo at that site. obama looks very ill, too gaunt. I bet he is dead not too far in the future from some disease.

[Deplorable American1776]

Warnock is a man of GOD like Obama was the best president ever... 😀. Warnock is a Man of SATAN!!

[polymuser]

“OBAMA: Right. Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith...”

A true Christian would have answered that very differently.

OMG! I can’t even consider the “event” that would become. Talk about an historic flood due to the liberal tears.

[minnesota_bound]

#16 & 17 All you mentioned plus Jeremiah Wright would preside over the event and blame America of course.

...Former President Obama’s Defense of Jeremiah Wright...

As usual and customary, O’Bullshit continues to be a MORON.

The smell of bullshit is even stronger.
