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. .....

What difference does it make if he was actually present or not?

Because he has already said on the record that he wasn't there. This observation confirms that he is much more of a liar than others had suspected.

Exactly.... WORDS LIKE the good Jeramiah Wright spouts from his podium of hate.... No wonder why Obama wants to run his foreign policy so nievely he has been led to believe that the world hates America because we are a White Supremicist run government.... Hey Obama I got news for you I don’t think militant Islam cares about the color of our skin they hate All Americans equally..... Unless of course you are a follower of Louis Farrakahn and his Isalm of racial hate.

"OBAMA WAS PRESENT" AT WRIGHT'S SERMON ON JULY 22 '07

This lying parsing pol has attended and listened to
and has had Wright as his spiritual advisor for twenty years.

He can not distance himself from the Racism and anti-Semitism of Rev Wright.

Rev Wright is not a follower of Yah'shua, the creator of the universe !

Rev Wright is a follower of Karl Marx and the Evil One: haSatan.

The relevance is, he has categorically stated he was never there to hear such inflamatory comments. THAT is a blatant, amateurish lie and he should be entraped by it because he is a product of a hate-mongering racist church. If this were a white supremecist we’re examining, think of how it would be covered by the leftist mainstream media!

Obama’s new pastor, Moss, is a self-proclaimed admirer of black radical Cornell West and white radical Michael Lerner (SDS alumnus). Google those guys and you will see that the problem with Obama & his church won’t go away just because they put Revvum Wright in the closet.

Because he has publicly stated that he was NOT there....EVER!!!!

If Senator B. (whose middle name must NOT be spoken) Obama was there---it will remove all doubt (except for liberals and democrats...lol) that he is a blatant, shameless, bald-faced LIAR!

Obama is clearly in "play it safe" mode. That is, they have the lead and are "playing not to lose", like a football team that goes to a "pre-vent defense". They won't need the press again until the Obama star falls far enough.

After the mainstream media finally discovered the Obama-Wright connection last week, Obama was personally visiting the editorial boards of the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun Times and NBC-5 news. There was a photo of Obama on one side of the table and the editorial board on the other, covering the front page of the Sun Times on Thursday.

Obama knows he's in trouble now. When it was just me and a few others in the conservative media talking about it, he knew he could get away with it.

Self loathing is the term. And I agree, Revrund Wright looks to be of a mixed heritage as well.

RUSH: ... Now, we need to get some credit to somebody. Brian Ross is the one Drive-By reporter who’s following up the story and reporting on it. Now, the Wall Street Journal had a column today by Ronald Kessler, but yesterday Brian Ross at ABC did. We’ve gotta give credit where credit is due. The rest of the Drive-Bys are wishing they could make this go away, because they know it is not helpful to Obama. But Brian Ross, we’ve had our disagreements with him in the past, but he’s been in there on this one.

EXACTLY!!!

The MSM (Fox excepted) is giving it 'passing mention'--while usually including a Senator B. (whose middle name must NEVER be spoken) Obama-APOLOGIST there--to help deflect, obfuscate or minimize any affect.

Did you happen to catch the spin from both Lowey and Bradley this morning? And they were more in agreement (albeit strained) than opposition in trying to sweep this under the rug to avoid the conflict in the open. THAT is the key, to keep this war in the open rather than allowing the dnc to shovel it into the cloakroom for settlement.

Does anyone else wonder why this poster just joined today?

There were 3 posts yesterday by a new poster, LJayne
One of the posts from yesterday.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1986352/posts

All getting us fired up on BO.

Wondering if these posters are from Hillary’s team. Anyone else wonder why the Clintons are not fired up over these tapes, especially since the Rev. went on about how Bill Clinton did them like he did Monica.
Sure seems odd to me.

Yes I did see that.

It was obvious that they BOTH realized (yes, even Slick Hillie's supporter, Lowey) that this is NOT an issue with democrats (who embrace black racism)---but WILL be an issue this fall!!!!

If you want to SPLIT this country even further WIDE OPEN along racial lines,,,

Senator B. (whose middle name must NEVER be spoken) and his anti-American, bitter and angry wife are the,,,,

RIGHT COUPLE AT THE RIGHT TIME!!

Ok, I will agree with that. It proves he is a liar. But here is a guy who claims he want to heal our racial divisions, and bring unity among all people. My point is he ought first repudiate the racism of his pastor, which he cannot now claim he doesn’t know about, whether he was in church that day, or any other day.

Btw, here is a recent story from Breitbart (via Drudge):

“PLAINFIELD, Ind. (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday decried “the forces of division” over race that he said are intruding into the Democratic presidential nomination contest.

“We have to come together,” he told a town-hall meeting at a high school.

He cited videos of inflammatory sermons given by his pastor that are now being used as political ammunition against him—remarks that Obama has denounced.

“If all I knew were those statements I saw on television, I would be shocked,” Obama said.

Obama suggested that more and more is being made of racial divisions as his contest with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton heats up.

“I noticed over the last several weeks that the forces of division have started to raise their ugly heads again. And I’m not here to cast blame or point fingers because everybody, you know, senses that there’s been this shift,” Obama said.”

Right, Senator. The “forces of division” do not include your racist and anti-American pastor, but rather those who post videos of his scurrilous comments. Ya dork.

I guess we are all supposed to have a willing suspension of disbelief and believe that Obama never read Wrights news letter either with the White Supremacy rants...

When you're a politician, you invest 15 minutes every morning before breakfast, scanning the headlines to see whether any of your political allies are in trouble. That's if you didn't already get a phone call from someone the night before.

At the very least, you have a trusted staff member who skims all those headlines, reads the articles of interest and gives you a detailed report each and every morning before breakfast. This is a no-brainer. It is essential for political survival.

Obama did this to himself. Dr. Wright's inflammatory rhetoric has been published in the Chicago Sun Times and the Chicago Tribune for several years. It's even been published in the New York Times for the past 14 months.

Obama also has a little problem called Tony Rezko. Tony is in the habit of approaching contractors who are bidding for business with the state government of Illinois -- to build bridges, repair roads, build prisons or whatever -- and he tells them that if they donate money to political campaigns of prominent Illinois Democrats, they're more likely to get the contract. But if they don't donate and donate generously, they'll never get the contract. This is a felony.

Tony's trial started last week. Obama has admitted that Tony raised a total of more than $250,000 for the various Obama political campaigns over the years. But it was made public back in 2004 that Tony was under investigation -- at the same time Obama was appearing, smiling and waving at the adoring crowds of Democrat donors, at Tony Rezko's fundraisers while he was running for the senate in 2004.

Like I said, Obama did this to himself.
