Choir conductor found murdered (From Obama's church, Dec 2007)
ABC ^ | dec 24, 2007 | Michelle Gilardo

Posted on 03/28/2008 7:42:42 AM PDT by pissant

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A man who worked as a choir conductor and school teacher was found Sunday shot to death. The victim is 47-year-old Donald Young.

Young's death has been ruled a homicide. His body was discovered Sunday morning inside his South Side home at 2320 E. 69th St.

Donald Young was the fourth of eight siblings. He was, according to those who loved him, the type of person who didn't take life for granted. He lived every day to the fullest. So whether it was in the South Side classroom where he taught, or at church conducting the choir every Sunday, Young made an impression on those who met him.

"He was one of those success stories, the average person would look at and say he doesn't have a chance," said Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ.

And yet, before his death , Donald Young succeeded mightily. He was a choir conductor at Trinity United Church of Christ for many years. Amateur video shot just last week shows him doing what for him wasn't a profession but a calling.

Cross reference:

Donald Young, the gay choirmaster at Obama’s church, telephoned me not long before he was murdered.

Gee, that's an awfully nice thing to say, Rev. Wright.

I hadn’t heard this. Did Sinclair give hints about what may have happened, by whom, and why?

Lot’s of people from that neighborhood end up murdered. It’s a cultural thing. Can’t blame whitey for this one.

Just when you thought Clintonian tactics were reserved only for those the Clintons wanted gone....

Sinclair implies, without coming out and stating it, that Donald Young and Barack Obama were on the “down low.”

No clues on why or how, but it is interesting that this guy called Sinclair a number of times (allegedly)

"He was one of those success stories, the average person would look at and say he doesn't have a chance," said Rev. Jeremiah Wright

One of the obstacles he faced in life was having a pastor/employer who was convinced he had “loser” written all over him.

This guy is a detestable prick on so many levels.

I wonder if there's anything additional about this in the church's Trumpet magazine? Maybe the Feb. '08 or Mar. '08 issue(s), one would think.

You haven't been listening. Everything is our fault.

I imagine in the "Rev" Wright's church, Adam and Eve were black, and it was a whitesnake...

What's the difference between being on the "down low" and the "low down"?

Oh, I get it. :O)

Right you are. If he was killed by a black man then it was becasue the black man was mistreated by the white devils and made him so angry. But he couldn’t kill whitey because of his breeding, it made him fear the white man.

And on and on.

Gee, I find it interesting that Sinclair mentions him too.

Must tie up the loose ends.

Did you read Sinclair’s post? He called Larry several times, allegedly. He did not know this guy from adam before he was called by him. Who knows. In S. Chicago, murders are common. But strangers ending up with your cell phone numbers aren’t.

Pastor Wright already told his congregation that it was wrong for black criminials to pray on black people. That's playing the white man's game.

Article states that Sinclair flunked polygraph...but polygraphs aren’t 100% accurate.

Obama does have the stretch marks around his mouth from...well, uh, uh...talking a lot.

Trumpet Newsmagazine (Trumpetmag.com) - the one run by Wright, his daughter, and the church has been taken off the web as of 3/27/08. (Convenient, eh???). I’ve saved some cached .pdfs in HTML format - including Wright’s Asa Eulogy, and the Farrakhan article.

Ping... An interesting "side issue" here.

Obama Wright Issues Ping List
If you would like on or off the Obama/Wright Issues Ping List. Please respond to this post, or send me a Freepmail. (Keyword for Search: ObamaWrightList).

WARNING: This will most likely be a High-Volume List, but hopefully it will be a short-lived list (as in hopefully Obama will no longer be a factor soon!).

NOTE: If you run across an article here at FR or elsewhere on the web, drop me a ping, or send me a Freepmail with the URL so I can add it here, or ping the list as appropriate.

Thanks!
