Jeremiah Wright -I Misspoke, "I Meant Zionists"
Political Punch/the Lid ^ | 6/11/09 | The Lid

Posted on 06/11/2009 12:35:34 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

Somehow I don't feel better. Yesterday President Obama's former religious mentor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said "Them Jews Aren't Going to Let Him [Obama] Talk To Me" Today he corrected himself. When Interviewed on “Make it Plain” with Mark Thompson, he said I didn't mean ALL Jews just Zionists. Remember this is the guy who taught faith to our President for over 20 years. Its no wonder that Obama has taken an anti-Israel position in his Middle East Policy. Read More below:

Well! I'm glad he cleared that up. What a hateful shyster this clown is. Even more disturbing is that people would sit in his church and listen to and accept his bilge.

At least he didn’t say Macaca.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have each gotten a pass for using antisemitic slurs in public.

This too shall pass.

Jesse Jackson must have been out of town when his friend, MLK said that.

The word, “Zionists,” coming out of certain mouths, equals “them Jews.”

Wright is a dangerous idiot. He is first and foremost about Black Liberation Theology, so anyone not black or bending over backwards to appease black liberationists receives his hate. Think of all the minds this man and others like him have poisoned. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but RECOGNIZE those with poisoned minds. Like . . . .

Everyone that has anything to do with Obama, including Obama, is a pathological liar.

He didn’t misspeak. He preaches hate for Jews in his church of hate and racism.

How can a so-called pastor be such a bigot?

He claims to be Christian? But he’s obviously something quite different.

Before he was a Pastor, he belonged to the Nation of Islam. I am not aware that he ever converted to Christianity.

"Reverend" Wright is a vicious racist bigoted sociopath. In a civilized country he would be committed to a mental hospital so as to stop poisoning the minds of impressionable people.

No he should talk, so we know the truth.

This anti-semite was Obama’s mentor. Obama named his autobiography after a speech by this black nationalist socialist.

He is a window to Obama’s soul.

So if I used a certain “N” word to describe a person who exhibits less than acceptable social behavior, it is acceptable because I did not mean all blacks, just the bad ones?

I don’t think so. If our country is ever going to come to terms with racism of any type we must hold all to the same high standards. Because it is the right thing to do.

From wikipedia:

Jeremiah Alvesta Wright, Jr. (born September 22, 1941) is Pastor Emeritus and the former Pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ.

Still think he's Islamic?

I do not think he converted to Christialnity. His preaching is certainly not the gospel, and he allows Louis Farrakahn to preach from the pulpit.

Not Islamic either.

What he preaches is Black Liberation Theology. Google it and educate yourself.

I take “Zionist” to be a good term, understood properly. I consider myself a Zionist, as a supporter of a Jewish homeland in Israel, even though I’m not Jewish. The term has been taken over to mean something else by the Islamofascist types, so I’m not sure Wright helped himself any by changing terms. “Zionists” sounds less yahoo-ish than “them Jews”, but it also makes him sound like a fellow-traveler of Al-Qaeda; which he very well may be, for all I know.

To: Southside_Chicago_Republican

Sometimes my words get jumbled from my brain to the keyboard. If my understanding of the term is correct, being a Zionist is a good thing. I hope you know I was not comparing Zionists to the N word. I would never do that. I apologize if my words came out wrong.

My comment was directed towards Wright’s sorry attempt to hide what is in his heart.

He's a communist. His "church" has as much to do with Christianity as the Nation of Islam has to do with genuine Islam. In other words, not much at all. Both groups are nothing but disruptors fed by people who want to destroy the United States as a world power.

He definitely doesn’t worship the God I know. Rev. Wright admits his sermons are based in part on the works of Cone.
Cone’s trying to “kill God.”

“Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”-— James Hal Cone.

Which is the religious version of the same Marxism Obama is applying to our economy as fast as he can.
