Controversial Rev. Wright bulletins surface (referring to Italians’ “garlic noses,”)
CNN ^ | March 27, 2008 | Emily Sherman

Over the past year, bulletins from Barack Obama’s church have appeared online that included writings from controversial figures like Louis Farrakahn of the Nations of Islam and Hamas leader Mousa Mohammed Marzook.

One of the articles, reprinted on the Web site’s “Pastor’s Page,” was originally printed in the Los Angeles Times as “Hamas stand.” Pastor Wright added a new title, “A Fresh View of the Palestinian Struggle.’

The article defended and justified terrorism and refused to recognize Israel’s right to exist. The LA Times came under fire for giving a platform to an alleged terrorist.

The pages appear to have been removed from the Church’s website.

This week, Obama denounced the articles, telling the Jerusalem Post that the church was “outrageously wrong” in reprinting the pieces. "Hamas is a terrorist organization, responsible for the deaths of many innocents, and dedicated to Israel's destruction,” said the Illinois senator.

Obama’s former minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, also came under fire this week when reports surfaced that he had written an article for Trumpet Magazine, run by his daughters, in which he said that “white supremacy is clearly in charge in America.” The article also quotes him referring to Italians’ “garlic noses,” and characterizing Jesus’ crucifixion as “a public lynching, Italian-style.”

My great Uncle Eddie Caroselli was a “Garlic Nose”. He was as good as gold and made wonderful pizza.

Reverend Wright is a racist jackass and so is his protege Barack Obama.

I hope none of my goombas live in that gated community where he is building his “retirement” home. Or maybe I hope they do?

Of course don’t call blacks the “N” word or call black female basketball players “Ho’s.” Osama Obama and his mentally ill mentor will become very upset and will call you a bigot and demand you be fired from your job.

I went through the TUCC website yesterday and the day before, searching for (by file name) bulletins they’ve put out over the last year. Interestingly, there were a few missing (when using the naming conventions used for all others). Most notably the bulletins from the last 3 weeks in December of 2007 were missing using this approach (again, needing to search hit or miss by .pdf file name as the links from the main bulletin pages are now missing). If anyone has access to these specific bulletins please let me know (through Freepmail) I have a feeling there’s SOMETHING in those bulletins that they hope no-one sees (I REALLY do hope I’m wrong, and it’s just a hunch).

I HAVE discovered an incredible wealth of political admonitions on the Pastor’s pages, and within the bulletin itself. (Against Iraq, for S-Chip, etc... etc...). One week they actually handed out postcards to all of their parishoners attending the service that were pre-addressed to Congress in an attempt to influences votes. (Rather odd for a true church if you ask me...).

I’m still going through these bulletins (had to stop because my eldest daughter was afraid I’d have a heart attack if I read through the rest yesterday! LOL), but I can tell you that the outright socialist tone, and again, political admonitions, to the community that are spread throughout these bulletins are astonishing.

Another thing that struck me is the incredible wealth of community services that this church offers to a community in need. An otherwise shining example of what faith-based organizations can do WITHOUT government dollars (presumably) if only it weren’t for the blasphemous, and hateful teachings.

One more thing... I’ve brought up that perhaps the most disgusting thing about this whole mess is the fact that Obama’s children (who are at least 1/4 “white”) are being taught to hate a part of themselves. I’ve been told by some — Oh, I’m sure that these kids were in “Children’s church”. The problem with that you see, is in reading the by-laws of the church itself. The by-laws themselves speak to the fact that the things taught in Sunday School, and ALL ministries in the church were under “orders” that all things taught must adhere to the “Black Values System” AS INTERPRETED BY WRIGHT!

Another interesting thing I found is that Rev. Wright received his degree from Divinity School in the area of ISLAM in AFRICA during the 1800s. I found that VERY interesting due to the ties discovered between Farrakhan, Obama, and other Islamic/Muslim “leaders” in the U.S. and Africa. (One wonders exactly what brand of “Christianity” Wright REALLY subscribes to...). I didn’t find any evidence that Mohammed or any Islamic teachings (from Hadiths, Koran, etc...) are embraced or anything like that, but the connections are still troubling nonetheless. Especially given that Wright fully knows the history of Islam in subjugating the very people he purports to be trying to “lift up”.

I’ll probably spend some more time researching this today (if I can quell my emotions enough, as the hate is SO pervasive and I don’t want my own mind to be contaminated AGAINST others in this way...). If I come across anything else, I’ll let y’all here at FR know. :)

Garlic ~ the secret ingredient in all the best places.

Your gumbahs will do just fine ~ with or without Wright.

There's this village in Pakistan where no one ever gets sick with a communicable disease. The researchers who went to see what was the cause found out about 2 miles upwind.

Seems everybody eats two WHOLE GARLIC every day ~ sometimes more frequently. (Not cloves, whole!).

We have enough Pakistanis around here (world's biggest garlic eaters) that come one of those Moslem festivals when the ladies make up ten thousand gazillion meatballs for a quick grilling on the charcoal broiler, you would not believe..............

Rev. Wright’s Italian Job (Hold the Garlic)

The irrepressible Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. is at it again, this time taking aim at Italians — expounding a two millenium grudge against the sons and daughters of Rome — and their (allegedly) breath-altering prediliction for scampi and pesto.

From the Wright-written eulogy for scholar Asa Hilliard in the Dec. 2007 edition of the Trumpet magazine: “(Jesus’) enemies had their opinion about Him... The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.”

After calling Jesus’s crucifixion “a public lynching Italian style” executed in “Apartheid Rome,” he goes on to claim that white supremicists run the U.S. government:

“The government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the Klan, white supremacy is clearly in charge, but Asa, like Jesus, refused to be defined by an oppressive government because Asa got his identity from an Omnipotent God.”

All this was written before his friend and former parishoner vaulted to the front of the Democratic pack — and before Obama denounced his previous comments on race, AIDS, etc.

— Glenn Thrush

Never heard that one. I’ve been a Wop and a Ginny all my life, and of course being a Mafioso has been a big plus.

Well, I’ve got to get back to making my olive oil and running my numbers racket, so all you Regular White People have a good day.

Just curious if anyone has put together and Obama/Wright ping list? I’d be willing to help with one if there is enough interest.

My thought in suggesting this ping list, is perhaps, if we can all research together we can bring out enough about Obama and Wright (and their anti-American, Anti-Caucasian/European attitudes) that he will have NO CHANCE of getting nearer to the White House than he already is (in Congress).

“What the heck is a ‘garlic nose’? You have to be a true racist to come up with that.” Right on! I can’t believe this man!! He is horrible! MSM ought to be jumping on this (I know - wishful thinking.) But Wright is just outrageous!
