is a Democrat. They all feel that way and together with the MSM, all hate America with a passion!

The Wall Street Journal has published yet another damning sermon from Barack Obama's retiring minister of two decades, Jeremiah Wright.
The displaced anger, bigotry, and hatred displayed is chilling:
"We've got more black men in prison than there are in college," he began. "Racism is alive and well. Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run. No black man will ever be considered for president, no matter how hard you run Jesse [Jackson] and no black woman can ever be considered for anything outside what she can give with her body."
Mr. Wright thundered on: "America is still the No. 1 killer in the world. . . . We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns, and the training of professional killers . . . We bombed Cambodia, Iraq and Nicaragua, killing women and children while trying to get public opinion turned against Castro and Ghadhafi . . . We put [Nelson] Mandela in prison and supported apartheid the whole 27 years he was there. We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God."
His voice rising, Mr. Wright said, "We supported Zionism shamelessly while ignoring the Palestinians and branding anybody who spoke out against it as being anti-Semitic. . . . We care nothing about human life if the end justifies the means. . . ."
Concluding, Mr. Wright said: "We started the AIDS virus . . . We are only able to maintain our level of living by making sure that Third World people live in grinding poverty. . . ."
As the story of Wright's forceful bigotry finally forced it's way into the mainstream media yesterday at ABC News with the story Obama's Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11, the people Barack Obama has chosen to surround himself with has come under sharp focus.
From a self-isolated, self-pitying wife, to a bombastic, bigoted minister, to an unreformed terrorist, Barack Obama has surrounded himself with very questionable ideological company, associations from which he has no defense. He wasn't forced to chose to spend time with this cadre of believers on the radical fringe, he embraced them willingly.
Predictably, as the media has come to focus on Obama's two-decade relationship with Wright, Obama supporters have been quick to attempt to minimize the damage. Unable to do it with a forceful denunciation of Wright's bigotry by Obama (Obama has only uttered the lamest of excuses), they have instead attempted to tar Republican candidate John McCain as being equally bad, for the support he has garnered from controversial evangelists Rod Parsley and John Hagee.
For those of you unfamiliar with these men, Parsley's most famous controversial statements include calling Islam a "false religion" that must be destroyed, opposition same-sex marriage, partial-birth abortion, hate-crimes legislation, and the separation of church and state. Hagee has been ripped an an anti-Catholic bigot, stated that Hurricane Katrina was an act of God against New Orleans for the city's "level of sin," and for claiming that the Qur'an has "a scriptural mandate to kill Christians and Jews."
There, of course, is a difference between John McCain's political endorsements by Parsley and Hagee, and Barack Obama's 20 years of willfully absorbing Wright's hatred, a toxicity to which he has willfully exposed family.
I addressed this attempt to equivilate Obama and McCain in a comment to the ABC News blog story Obama camp: 'Deplores divisive statements', which featured yet another inflammatory speech by Wright.
My comment read:
I see that some are already attempting to trot out a comparative argument, that Wright's offensive, bigoted, and paranoid rants are somehow lessened by invoking John McCain's support from John Hagee and Rod Parsley, two prominent evangelists who have also made provocative statements.
But here is the huge gaping difference between these attempts: Barack Obama has spent the better part of the past 20 years of his life listening to, absorbing, and yes, agreeing with Wright's sermons. If he did not agree with the bulk of those sermons, he would have of course left Trinity for another church--finding a church in Chicago that closely fits your own personal beliefs is not at all difficult, and Obama obviously agrees with Wright far more than he disagrees.
That Obama has spent 20 years listening to Wright, thought enough of him to use one of those sermons as the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope," that he was married by Wright, had both of his children baptized by Wright and brought up in this church, listening to these paranoid and racist rants that differ little in substance from the words of a much more famous racist, Louis Farakkan, means that Obama AGREES with Wright far more often than he disagrees with him.
From that, what are we to make of Obama? Actions, indeed, do speak louder than flaccid conciliatory words that have only just now been uttered.
I say again the obvious: no American would spend 20 years listening to a minister with which he vehemently disagreed.
McCain, by comparison, is guilty of pandering to Haggee and Parsley because of the (unfortunate) influence they have over a powerful voting demographic.
I can find scant evidence that McCain has sat though one sermon from Hagee or Parsley, much less 20 years of them.
Which is worse?
The politician that panders for votes, or the man who has listened to and internalized anti-American, anti-Jewish, and anti-white messages for 20 years before ever once publicly disagreeing with them, and who is raising his children in this same toxic environment?
Not only am I certain Barack Obama is unfit to run this nation, I now question his ability to raise his own children, for the hatred he has willingly exposed them to since their births.
Yes, I went there. Read again Wright's rant in the WSJ article featured above, or some of his other hate speech (for that is what it is), and try to explain to me that a good parent exposes his children to an environment that exudes such naked anger, resentment, defeatism, and conspiratorial paranoia.
Perhaps some of you are comfortable having your children raised in such an environment, but I am not, and I do not think that someone who willingly exposes himself and his family to internalizing such vitriol for 20 years is the kind of person we need or want to lead this nation.
Obama and every adherent to this cult is a crazy POS.
Its weird, the press came down on David Duke for his membership in a hate group but they ignore Obamas.
You are who you hang with.
is a Democrat. They all feel that way and together with the MSM, all hate America with a passion!
Just ask the middle east potentates that fly their Gulfstream's to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for treatment of life threatening issues. /s
You know, it’s funny because this probably would have never become a controversy had Obama not run around saying he’s been a member of this “Christian” church for 20 years as a defense against accusations of being a “Muslim”.
And you know, he may not pray to Mecca 5 times a day or fast for Ramadan, but this church of Obama’s looks suspiciously like the Nation of Islam.
Thanks for posting this.
Thank God for the new ownership of the WSJ.
Hussein ObamaSamma can no longer ignore this as rants from the evil white conservative talk radio hosts and internet sites.
When this vile POS/Wright’s sermons of hate are on Fox News, ABC News and now word for word in the WSJ, the reality is out there. All of the PC bs in the world can’t put this vile stuff back in its Pandora Box.
Nice sentiment. I guess the reverend doesn't have a very high opinion of black women. Does Michelle Obama believe this? Does a black woman attend Princeton and Harvard if all she will ever do is give away her body? Are black women relegated to being ghetto women who sell their bodies by a minister who is supposed to be uplifting the souls of his congregants?
This church of Obama’s looks suspiciously like the Nation of Islam.
The clinton surrogates have finally found a way to attack him.
It is. It does.
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,"Kill any Jew who falls under your power."
Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
And there’s seven more months for the voting public to hear this guy’s insane rants.
I predict Obama won’t survive it.
This guy is weird...
So this guy is of a Christian church?
Must be just for the tax write offs.
Barack Obama has been attending the equivalent of KKK rallies for the past 20 years.
What would happen to the career of a white politician if something similar was revealed?
Hopefully, our side has bought all of his tapes and hate filled racists sermons they can find.
We need to blast the world with the reality of his vile racism.
Exactly, and one can only imagine if a white pastor or priest said the same things and aimed their remarks to blacks instead of whites.
But, Obama is for CHANGE!
Doesn't THAT make up for it?
He's more than weird; he's mentally ill.
He wouldn't be scrutinized for a raging mob would do him in before the opportunity arose to scrutinize.
“What would happen to the career of a white politician if something similar was revealed?”
If he’s a rich old democrat its ok. If he’s a republican they will burn him on a cross.
Obama might survive the primaries but he won't make it through the general election.
You get used to it when you live in a city. It's on the streets and at your job. You have to make provision to defend yourself.
As for the Clinton surrogates, Hitlery isn’t clean either on the subject of anti-semitism:
Jerry Oppenheimer’s book State of the Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton (2000) quotes former campaign aide Mary Lee Fray, who says that Hillary exploded in a rage after Bill lost his first bid for elective office, a run for Congress in Arkansas’s Third Congressional District against John Paul Hammerschmidt. Hillary blamed Fray’s husband, Paul, for the campaign’s bungled political strategy. The slur was uttered at a heated, finger-pointing session at Bill Clinton’s Fayetteville, Ark., campaign headquarters on election night in 1974, following his defeat. “You f—king Jew bastard!” Hillary yelled at Paul, Mary Lee confirmed — even though Paul Fray is not Jewish. [NewsMax, 15 July 2000]
In the room that night were Bill Clinton; his then-girlfriend Hillary Rodham; Paul Fray, Clinton’s campaign manager; and Fray’s wife, Mary Lee. Another campaign worker, Neill McDonald, was just outside the door and heard everything. [Daily News, 17 July 2000] Paul Fray is a Baptist but his heritage is Jewish; his paternal grandmother was Jewish, and Bill and Hillary knew of his heritage.
Mary Lee Fray said that Hillary not only used an anti-Semitic slur but she shouted it so loudly “it rattled the walls.” “It was very clear,” she said. “Bill Clinton’s face became white as a ghost.” [FOXNews.com, AP and New York Post, 18 July 2000]
Former Clinton campaign aide Neill McDonald, who has always been a Clinton supporter [Jewish World Review, 19 July 2000], confirmed the story, according to the New York Daily News. [Reuters, 17 July 2000] He heard the obscenity as he stood outside the room. [FOXNews.com, AP, New York Post, 18 July 2000]
What would happen to the career of a white politician if something similar was revealed?
He would get to be Senator for life of West Virginia.
Only if he were a democrat.

David Duke I can see, but look at how many politicians were run through the ringer for speaking at Bob Jones University, a conservative Christian School, but not radical.
How many thousands of dollars dod Obama give to the Church?
23k one year.
How many others have managed to slime their way into the pulpit and are infecting their flocks with such virulent hatred?
Oh please Obama was never at one of those sermons.... Just come sip the obama ade and you will see all of our problems are solved.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
If he was a "member" of this "church" only for show, then he's a hypocrite as well as an America-hating racist.
“no black woman can ever be considered for anything outside what she can give with her body”
Mr Wright is seriously in need of psychotherapy. He has some deep seated hatred of his mother, and of himself.
He is to be pitied.
Whell, duh. I wonder why that is. Maybe because they're criminals? Would you rather have a gang banger who shot up a neighborhood in jail or in college?
There is no way Obama can just say he doesn’t agree with this mad man! But he will, and the sheeple will follow him. If he disagreed, he would have left that Church years ago. Disgusting, scary, and UnAmerican, but his followers will not care.
We should post this link on every thread to do with the campaign, hillderbeast or “O”
With the line:
Remember Martin Luther, Jr.’s Dream! NOW is the time to follow it!
Shhh - don’t give away the secret
Hey, this Rev. Wright hates America so much, how about we start a fund to get him a one-way ticket to one of those utopian paradises he’s thinks is so great. Maybe Lybia? I hear he’s great friends with Khadafi.
“The clinton surrogates have finally found a way to attack him.”
If she gets the nomination, she is weakened with black voters.
If he gets the nomination, GOP surrogates can take over with this issue.
If GOP keeps quiet for the time being, it is win-win.
Does this guy ever get around to talking about the Bible?
Question: Does anybody know if Wrights forthcoming retirement is a coincidence or not?
>> And there’s seven more months for the voting public to hear this guy’s insane rants. I predict Obama won’t survive it.
Problem is... once the Donkee convention is over, the broadcast media will forget all about this.
It’s up to McCain to frame Obama with the simple but effective message (which, by the way, has the virtue of being the truth):
“O’bama is a closet racist. He hates anyone who isn’t black.”
...and McCain will have to do it himself! He’ll get no help spreading the word from the press. Does he have the steel within him to do it? I’m not confident he does.
I sent the youtube link to my family and friends and asked them to do the same:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNEfEBYIZs
That statistic isn’t even true! It’s junk made up by that phony preacher Tony Campolo.
You are correct in Hillary not being clean.
Not only is he dirty as they come, she is pure unadulterated evil.
I am not5 an Obama fan but Obama has more goodness in his little toe nail than Hillary has in her entire being.
As it standsnow Obama is the only hope of keeping her out of the White House. If she can get by Obama, she will go through John Mc Cain like a red hot knife through melted butter.
As it stands now Obama is the only thing standing between Hillary and the White House. If she can get by Obama, she will go through John Mc Cain like a red hot knife through melted butter.
The late, great, Richard Pryor used to think that too:
""It made my heart ache, you know, to see all these beautiful black men in the joint. The warriors should be out there helping the masses. I felt that way, I was real naive. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to 'em, and ... thank God we got penitentiaries! I asked one, 'Why did you kill everybody in the house?' He says, 'They was home.'"
