Transcript: Rev. Wright at the National Press Club
Fox News ^ | Monday, April 28, 2008

Posted on 04/29/2008 2:26:18 PM PDT by Eye On The Left

Rev Wright: I’ve said, as I said on Bill Moyers, when Louis Farrakhan speaks, it’s like E.F. Hutton speaks, all black America listens. Whether they agree with him or not, they listen.

Now, I am not going to put down Louis Farrakhan anymore than Mandela would put down Fidel Castro. Do you remember that Ted Koppel show, where Ted wanted Mandela to put down Castro because Castro was our enemy? And he said, “You don’t tell me who my enemies are. You don’t tell me who my friends are.”

Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He did not put me in chains. He did not put me in slavery. And he didn’t make me this color.

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate

Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

"God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11"
--Rev Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor and spiritual advisor 'crazy uncle' for twenty years

Rev. Wright:
"In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns."

So, Barack, now that you are disowning your Uncle Wright, if you could exhibit such poor judgement over a 20+ year period about someone so close to you...how many more on your campaign staff, or contributors, or associates have you exhibited the same poor judgement regarding?

Ayers? Rezko? Others?

How many more would you exhibit such poor judgement with, if elected, in your cabinet, with foreign leaders, as nominations for judges, etc.?

Sorry Barack, your package wont hunt.

Who did put Wright in slavery then? This would be valuable information to have so that whoever did can set us all up in a $10M mansion.

Obama threw him under the bus today. They must think we are very gullible and stupid. Wrights past was hurting Obama, so Wright says some controversial things so Obama can refute and reject them. Who didn’t see that coming?

I think America can do without the likes of Obama and his friends for the next 50 years.

Now, let's address how Rev. Wright got to stand behind the podium and address the Press Club. You just do not phone up and say you wish to be the orator.

Fact as we know... when Wright speaks voting numbers go down for Obama.

Why would Wright suddenly retire from a church where he is very popular to those in attendance each Sunday. He was well respected within HIS community-charitable work etc. Why would he, suddenly in the highlight of his career, step down at age 66. We know of his conversation with Obama that this time might have to come. We know that the Trinity website was "cleansed" from which it whence was, a couple of times in fact. Why should that ever need to be? This was Wright's church was it not?.. not Obama's.

We know it was reported and pictured Wright's new 1.6 million dollar home, his much publicized new 10 mil line of credit. Payoff? We can only suspect come retirement, come a package to do so. Lots for a pastor who preaches the evils of the rich white man.

Now, Wright says his book will come out soon. Before or after November? Wright says Obama did what he did in distancing himself out of politics. That he Wright is just a pastor. A pastor with a history of attacking those in city and state politics, judges etc. Who does that to a mentor of 20 years? Who strips a man of his church where he is a popular pastor with great following; whether we approve or not approve of what he preaches. Obama and his powers that be did.

Now, we have Barbara Reynolds..who is Barbara Reynolds? Supporter of Hillary Clinton, ribbon cutter for Wright to speak at the Nat Press Club. What is the motive of Reynolds and Clinton?

You fill in the blanks and motives. One can only guess the twisted web they weave. Clinton can run again come next election if McCain becomes President. The Clintons never spoke for Kerry as Clinton, reported by Dick Morris, had her eyes on the Oval Office and the only way that could come to be would be Post Bush, now would be her last chance in regard to age come - Post McCain.

Just something to think about, as we focus on the obvious replay of media events-smoke screens- and not what really goes on behind the scenes in high stakes party politics.

lol! Did you really read the whole thing? I was mainly interested in this one passage that I heard him say live on TV, because it shows where they all are really coming from politically and ideologically. And it ain't got nuting to do with Allah or Jesus.

"I’ve said, as I said on Bill Moyers, when Louis Farrakhan speaks, it’s like E.F. Hutton speaks, all black America listens. Whether they agree with him or not, they listen.

Now, I am not going to put down Louis Farrakhan anymore than Mandela would put down Fidel Castro.

Wow, I read just a few words here and there. My conclusion: also, He's a nut. But I saved lots of time to do other stuff.

I knew ‘kinsman redeemer’ was just joking. Obviously, one didn’t have to read any of it to know the guy’s a nut.
