The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has taken Barack Obama's critically acclaimed race speech in Philadelphia, ripped it to bits and tossed it in the air to serve as confetti for his parade through the media...
Then cometh the good reverend to step all over the out-of-context defense in a speech at the National Press Club. He defended his "chickens come home to roost" statement about 9/11 in exactly the same terms as in his original sermon: "You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you."
He stood by his damnation of America and his contention that the U.S. government had created AIDS: "I believe our government is capable of doing anything."
... The more Wright talked, the more he sounded like a Christian Farrakhan ...

This is akin to those who have given into the thought process that gives legitimacy to concepts such as: "One man's terrorist (or terrorist nation), is another man's freedom fighter,"
Those that think like that dare to even think that this country is a terrorist nation. It seems that he takes the viewpoint of our enemies that we are a terrorist nation, and that those we somehow terrorize are really hapless victims.
In most of the world, people live under brutal dictatorships and despotic regimes. This country has had a long and proud history of being a great country.
How Wright could (in a sermon) say that 9/11 was America's chickens come home to roost for A-bombing Japan - a nation that had brutalized the Far East for decades before it attacked the US at Pearl Harbor - is beyond most, but not the Moral Relativist.
Moral relativism, thy name is Rev. Wright.
How could Obama stay in the same church with this man for 20 years, and have as his pastor this obamination... for 20 years?
There really is no difference between Wright and Farrakhan; they are evil twins.
Wright seems more Farrakhan than Christian to me. Just like other Muslims say NOI is a fraud, that’s how I feel about “Black Liberation Theology” calling itself Christianity. To me, anything defined by race is not Christian. If I’m wrong on this then I’ll trust my Lord to set me straight.
When Caucasians organize white-identity "churches" they are called hate-mongers.
Wright is a race-obsessed paranoid with delusions of grandeur. He and his protege should seek psychological counseling. Obama is also race-obsessed and conflicted.
Just like if someone said that Obama was a “typical black person,” they would be called a racist hate-monger.
With Wright, you see, and with Farakhan, the black man is superior to all other men. That justifies much of the future violence that will come as a result of these fascist lap dogs of politicians like Obama.
Obama is their move from low key back room subversive socio-economic work in towns and cities, to main stream involvemnent nationally and internationally. They want access to US tax-payer dollars to create their world.
These are not Americans. They have no patriotism , no commitment to American Society, and no desire for freedom. Soon we might be at civil war with them as they illegally attempt to take over sections of our cities and counties in our rural areas.
Muslims love Fascism. It gets them all excited to know that they are following in the footsteps of great haters of Jewry. Indeed they are inspired by it , just like Farakhan and Wright both are.
Obama is one of them.

Transcript: Rev. Wright at the National Press Club
MODERATOR: Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the father but through me. Do you believe this? And do you think Islam is a way to salvation?
WRIGHT: Jesus also said, Other sheep have I who are not of this fold.

My great-aunt bequeethed it to me; knowing how affected and impressed I was by the portrait. I never saw the figure as "black" nor "white".
My Great Aunt, a Scot, and my Great Uncle (a retired Buckingham Palace Guard), explained the portrait to me when I was a child:
"Hope sits atop the world. She is blind and lame, she is weary, and yet she remains as tall as she can be, despite what ails her. Her bedraggled crutch helps her to hold her head up. She has dignity despite her ailments".
And that is the essence of hope for all people, all time.
I prefer my family's first hand knowledge of "Hope" to the "wright" version "perpetual racial oppression".
The Generation in England which witnessed the leadup to and then underwent World War I have a take on "Hope" that this current generation, and Jeremiah Wright do not.
World War I was not about "racial oppression". In brutish shortform, WWI was about alliances, and being ill-prepared to defend one's position and country.

Obamas Campaign Rips Into Rev. Wright
[its on a thread about Matthews mocking Bill Kristol, but then in the transcript of the Matthews show theres the beauuutiful comment from Obamas campaign manager basically imploring the Reverend to STFU. This is great entertainment.]
Here is something beautiful, on the HardBall show Obamas #1 campaign flack just dissed the Reverend Wright as pursuing his own agenda NOT in Obamas best interest Obamas campaign must be in a panic to go public against Wright in this way, its a not-so-veiled attempt to tell Wright to STFU but I doubt it will work. IF Wright cared most about getting Obama elected he would not be out there now. Some combination of his intense ideology, egomania, and resentment at Obama has led Wright to seize the opportunity for a national platform for his racist Afro-centric ideology even though he could very well sink Obamas campaign with these outpourings. Wright can sell books, become rich(er), go on a national speaking tour for $20K a pop, etc.
AXELROD: Yeah. Well I cant speak to Reverend Wrights motivations or why hes out here now. Obviously, you know, it isnt helpful, and I dont think its necessarily meant to be helpful. I dont think its about Obama. I think Reverend Wright is out there speaking for Reverend Wright.

Mr. Lowry, from what I can see the man is no Christian.
Jesus said you will know Christians by their fruit - and the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
I haven’t seen any of these front and center with Wright. Please don’t insult Christians by lumping this rude nasty man in with us.
I agree wholeheartedly. There's no way a real Christian minister would break the second Commandment while standing at the podium of a church.
There is nothing “Christian” about Wright.
WRIGHT: Jesus also said, “Other sheep have I who are not of this fold.”
We are dealing with a false teacher here, believers. Scripture is God-breathed, and there isn’t a shred of it that supports this liar of the above retort.
No, I’m afraid God is still in his heaven and there is still only One way to Him—JESUS. Every other “way” will lead to eternal punishment.
I understand that Wright was a muzzie who “converted”.
Candor, you are saying exactly what I am thinking, re:
These are not Americans. They have no patriotism , no commitment to American Society, and no desire for freedom. Soon we might be at civil war with them as they illegally attempt to take over sections of our cities and counties in our rural areas. Muslims love Fascism. It gets them all excited to know that they are following in the footsteps of great haters of Jewry. Indeed they are inspired by it , just like Farakhan and Wright both are.
Obama is one of them.

And Wright is so light-skinned! I have black co-workers who would say he is only half-baked! His skin tone is lighter than mine!
Does that explain his `wannabe ferocity’?
Anyway, Obama is TOAST, thanks to this guy!
Wright left off the rest of the verse:
John 10:16
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
