On Christmas morning, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. compared presidential candidate Barack Obama's impoverished childhood to Jesus Christ's.
"Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people," he then trumpeted. "Hillary [Clinton] can never know that."
Mr. Wright ...was standing at the pulpit before the mostly African-American congregation of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, where Sen. Obama has worshiped for more than 20 years.
Mr. Wright, who will be ending his 36-year tenure as the church's senior pastor in June, has previously been criticized for comments deriding President George Bush and lauding Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam...
Trinity's national parent, the United Church of Christ, recently disclosed that it's being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service for a speech Sen. Obama gave to 10,000 people at a church conference in June in Hartford, Conn., in which he mentioned his candidacy and parts of his platform, namely health-care reform.
Some of the sermons mentioned Sen. Clinton or her husband in unflattering ways.
During that Christmas morning sermon, Mr. Wright declared that Hillary Clinton "ain't had to work twice as hard just to get accepted by the rich white folk who run everything or to get a passing grade when you know you are smarter than that 'C' student sitting in the White House."
On Jan. 13, Mr. Wright told the Trinity congregation that some people say, "'Hillary is married to Bill and Bill [has] been good to us.'" Mr. Wright continued, "No, he ain't!"
Sen. Clinton's campaign didn't respond to requests for comment.

Hooray for Suzanne, another good artice. I remember her GREAT article about how Purpose Driven divides churches, and now she’s taking on more Christian libs!
Suzanne isn’t part of the Clinton machine I’m pretty sure. Obama has enough wrong with him that it doesn’t take the Clintoons to point it out for us to notice.
It's not just that church either. The whole denomination is apostate. United Church of Christ.
There are quite a few following right behind them. The ELCA, the Evangelical Covenant...not to mention the mainline churches which are pretty much useless now...
Suzanne is my buddy.
Such reports are dearly needed. A colleague of mine at work (she’s what used be called “a black American”) sent BHO $50 today (her confirmation was sent to her work email, which she printed out on the shared printer near my cubical).
Many are deceived or flat out unconcerned about the survival of our Constitution. We must not give up!
(her confirmation was sent to her work email, which she printed out on the shared printer near my cubical).
Turn her in to HR. Personal use of company blah blah blah.
It would be wicked fun to turn her in to personnel, but we are permitted limited personal use of company equipment. She obviously needs an education.
