Presidential candidate Barack Obama preaches on the campaign trail that America needs a new consensus based on faith and bipartisanship, yet he continues to attend a controversial Chicago church whose pastor routinely refers to "white arrogance" and "the United States of White America."

In fact, Obama was in attendance at the church when these statements were made on July 22. .....

“then we can match it up with the hatred being spewed that day...”

And note how that Christian science Monitor called this spew ‘christianity’.

The media whitewash continues.

Website says Obama attended anti-white Wright sermon; campaign says no

In a posting this evening, Newsmax.com reports that its correspondent witnessed Sen. Barack Obama attending one of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s anti-white sermons on July 22 and nodding his head in agreement with the black congregation.

The report on the conservative website directly contradicts the Democratic presidential candidate’s recent statements that while he denounced the pastor’s controversial anti-American and anti-white rhetoric, he had never heard such declarations himself in church or in private.

Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, immediately denied the Newsmax report, saying Obama was in Miami that day. He referred to an item hastily posted on the Obama Fact Check website saying simply: “Fact: Obama did not attend services on July 22.”

The lengthy Newsmax report by Ronald Kessler said its correspondent, Jim Davis, attended services on July 22, 2007, at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s South Side and saw Obama in attendance.

Obama gave a speech at La Raza conference on Sunday July 22 at 1:30 PM.

http://www.nclr.org/content/news/detail/47386/

What time was Wright sermon? It takes 3 hour to go from Chicago to Miami so Obama has to leave Chicago by 9:30 AM (10:30 AM Miami time) at the latest.

Thank you for the info.


When a Black supremacist can become a US Senator that then captures the presidential nomination in a major US political party, the need for affirmative action has ended.

Please see post 268. Obama gave the speech at Laraza conference on Sunday July 22 2007, 1:30 PM. It takes 3 hours to get from Chicago to Miami so Obama has to leave Chicago by 9:30 AM (10:30 AM Miami time) at the latest. Something very fishy about the Newmax story.

The offense is against Western/US civilization of which they are getting so many benefits when Africa is going downward.
Another interesting point for me would be the highlightning of the links between black victimization/anger activism ,islam(cf the “black muslims”,leftism...It could summarize B.Hussein Obama’s case

Sorry for the earlier reply, I see you got the link for La Raza schedule on July 22 2007 before I did. It is hard to believe based on the time line of events and the time to go from Chicago to Miami that Obama attended the Wright sermon.

Anyway OBAMA did hear such statements when he went to that church many times!
Should be interesting to have the record of J.Wright’s speech in that Church.Obama will not be able to state he never heard Wright’s statements

In fact the article says that the sermon was in the morning.

"On this particular July Sabbath morning, only a handful of white men — aside from a few members of Obama's Secret Service detail — were present among a congregation of approximately 2,500 people.

Now let us assume that it was 6:00 PM Chicago time. Obama gave the speech at La Raza from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM. It is really hard to believe that he flew immediately after that and attended the sermon at 6:00 PM.

NewsMax really needs to do a better job of fact checking their stories.
If we are going to slam this fraud Obama we have to do it in a credible way or else we’ll ONCE AGAIN blow an opportunity to uncover what the Dems are REALLY about .

July 23rd he participated in a debate in SC, so highly doubtful he flew back to Chicago on the 22nd.

Exactly. It seems from the evidence and the timeline that the Newsmax story is very fishy to say the least.
