Wright: Obama criticized me in order to get elected

I gave him the benefit of the doubt last week when he danced around this question with Moyers. No more. Here’s his clarification, making it very clear that he meant just what his critics thought he meant, that one shouldn’t take the Messiah’s not-so-high dudgeon over his sermons too seriously since he’ll say whatever he needs to say to get elected.

Geraghty, among others, thinks he’s sinking Obama’s campaign. My pessimism makes me skeptical, but Ambinder argues that Wright has Team Barry boxed in: The nuttier he sounds, the fewer options they have except to hope that he eventually comes off as so nutty that no one would seriously think Obama agrees with him. Is a Sistah Souljah moment in the offing? If it is, it means The Speech That Saved America didn’t really save America since he’ll have needed a second take to get it (w)right. Exit question: Is it time to suspend Operation Chaos?

pssst... the Jeremiah Wright production was staged, produced and directed by Rush Limbaugh. That's the Operation Chaos secret code. ;-)

[LadyNavyVet]

I wonder how much Hillary’s paying him?

[Jeff Head]

Yep. Pretty much flat out said that Obama lied for pure political expediency...and then Wright went on to show us straight-up that nothing he had said before was taken out of context in the least. He is proud of his hate-filled, anti-American, bigoted, race bating ideology.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH


"Not God Bless America, no, no, no, God Damn America!" "911 is America's chickens coming home to roost"


"AIDS was created by the US for black geneocide," "If God is not for us & against whites, then he is a murderer, and we'd best kill him."

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

This commie clown ought to make the Dem party the laughing stock of the entire country. And the Obamas plunked $25,000 in this racist Marxist’s collection plate last year. They certainly aren’t as smart as they think they are.

So, Wright’s saying “Obama lies” to get elected.

Wright to Obama: 'Coming after you'

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that he will try to change national policy by “coming after” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) if he is elected president.

The pastor also insisted Obama “didn’t denounce” him and “didn’t distance himself” from Wright’s controversial remarks, but “did what politicians do.”

Wright implied Obama still agrees with him by saying: “He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was [portrayed as] anti-American.”

Wright, who was Obama’s pastor for 20 years and performed his wedding, made the explosive comment during a chaotic question-and-answer session at the National Press Club in Washington, following the pastor’s remarks about the black church in America.

“I said to Barack Obama last year, ‘If you get elected, November the 5th I'm coming after you, because you'll be representing a government whose policies grind under people,’ Wright said.

Obama stops the clock on Fox

************************EXCERPT******************

Barack Obama finally appeared on “Fox News Sunday,” stopping the "Obama Watch" clock at 772 days and change. And, believe it or not, it was a friendly exchange, touching on familiar themes.

Host Chris Wallace, who had started the clock because Obama has steadfastly refused to do his show, asked about Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, as well as his Chicago connection to Weather Underground figure William Ayers. And he sought specific examples of how the Illinois senator has, or will, put into practice the bipartisanship that he preaches.

Obama pushed back against “top-down, command-and-control” regulation that was popular with the left in the ‘60s and ‘70s. He credited the GOP with pushing market-oriented solutions and cited his support of a cap-and-trade system for controlling carbon emissions.

“I think that the Republican Party and people who thought about the markets came up with the notion that, you know, what if you simply set some guidelines, some rules and incentives for businesses, let them figure out how they're going to, for example, reduce pollution. It's a smarter way of doing it,” he said.
On education, Obama said “we should be experimenting with charter schools” and “should be experimenting with different ways of compensating teachers.” Both positions run counter to those strongly backed by teachers unions, a core segment of the Democratic Party base.

Obama also cited a vote on tort reform that angered trial lawyers — another key segment of the Democratic base. And while he opposed the nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court, Obama noted that he took to the popular blog DailyKos in defense of colleagues who supported Roberts for chief justice.

“There are a lot of liberal commentators who think I’m too accommodating,” Obama said.

Wallace also pressed Obama on comments he made at the last Democratic presidential debate with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton about Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Ayers, the former member of the violent Weather Underground. Obama had said that he should no more be assumed to endorse Coburn’s position that doctors who perform abortions should face the death penalty than he should be assumed to endorse the Weather Underground’s embrace of violence in opposition to the Vietnam War.

I dunno. 17 years is an awful lot of voluntary exposure to Wright’s racist hate speech.

[nascent skeptic]

They certainly aren’t as smart as they think they are.

Obama seems incredibly naive to not have seen that this deranged buffoon would turn on him if Obama tried to renounce him. But I think his wife and the pastor are kindred spirits, spring loaded with judgemental rebuke.

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left

And a review:

**********************************

By	Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)

I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.

[Post Toasties]

It’s really amazing how these racists believe that AIDS didn’t come from Africa and that there was enough genetic science in the ‘50’s & ‘60’s or 70’s to make any virus, let alone AIDS. And how do these racist maniacs figure it could ‘single out’ Blacks? How about the US gays who had most of the cases in the world for a number of years? Are they chopped liver, according to Wracist Wright?

Clarification From Rev. Wright

********************EXCERPT********************

Well, this should clarify what Wright said earlier about Obama only saying what a politician has to say to get elected….he meant what he said:

Link: sevenload.com

MODERATOR: What is your motivation for characterizing Senator Obama’s response to you as, quote, “what a politician had to say”? What do you mean by that?

WRIGHT: What I mean is what several of my white friends and several of my white, Jewish friends have written me and said to me. They’ve said, “You’re a Christian. You understand forgiveness. We both know that, if Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected.”

Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls, Huffington, whoever’s doing the polls. Preachers say what they say because they’re pastors. They have a different person to whom they’re accountable.

As I said, whether he gets elected or not, I’m still going to have to be answerable to God November 5th and January 21st. That’s what I mean. I do what pastors do. He does what politicians do.

I am not running for office. I am hoping to be vice president.

(LAUGHTER)

The press was all giggles at this event it seems…so enthralled at being in the presence of such a powerful racist they just couldn’t help themselves.

That wasn’t the end of it either. He went on to analyze the difference between white and black brains and accused those who attacked him as actually attacking the black church. This is the man that Obama holds up as his mentor.

This is the man that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Obama has no good judgement whatsoever to be the President of the United States.

[sanchmo]

Wright is so convinced that racists America will never elect a black president that he is deliberately undermining the first real contender to be the first black president.

That way, when Obama loses, Wright can claim “See, I told you, Honkey’s too racist.”

[50sDad]

Buy one Obama, get a racist conspiracy crackpot free, with a side order of reparations! Step right up!

[lakeman]

he’s running his own operation chaos.

Jeremiah Wright - The Gift That Keeps On Giving

*********************EXCERPT*************************

Personally I find Rev Jeremiah Wright a sad echo from a sad time in America. He, like so many other aging baby-boomer liberals is living in the glory days of the 60’s and 70’s. He is trying as hard as he can to stoke the fires of racism in the country - all in the name of Jesus no less. Truly a pathetic sight and a reminder of why the rest of us are glad to be living in a world were racism is just an echo and not a reality. For those still stuck in their own personal quagmires my condolences - but it is not America’s fault.

Jeremiah Wright has found his 15 minutes of fame and he plans to go out with fiery bluster as he impugns the character of one Barack Obama:

he Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that he will try to change national policy by “coming after” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) if he is elected president.

The pastor also insisted Obama “didn’t denounce” him and “didn’t distance himself” from Wright’s controversial remarks, but “did what politicians do.”

[BunnySlippers]

Reverend Wright ... the gift that keeps giving.

[keepitreal]

Post-racial America is certainly an interesting place, isn’t it?

[browardchad]

pssst... the Jeremiah Wright production was staged, produced and directed by Rush Limbaugh. That's the Operation Chaos secret code. ;-)

Don't tell anyone, but I discovered today that if you play every eighth sentence of Rush's broadcasts backwards, it says "elect Hillary!" That secret decoder ring works great!

[olivia3boys]

I’m working on an accredidation process for my children’s school and recently read over 200 parent surveys and their detailed comments.

One of the questions on the survey was “how is this school doing with their ‘sensitivity to racial diversity,’ blah blah. . “

And without exception, every parent either ignored it or commented that they didn’t give a flying leap and are sick to death of questions like this.

I live in the Bay Area of California; I was heartened by this—maybe there is hope for our nation after all!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

That last quote you listed is just horrifying!

[anglian]

Google ‘falling man’,,,, and you will see a man who Obama Hussein’s spiritual advisor said deserved this fate due to a United States that should be damned, not blessed, by God.

[Jeff Head]

That is a quote from the founder/inventor of Black Liberation Theology, James Hal Cone, who Wright refers to all the time as the basis for his own theology and teachings.

Follow the link at the top of my prior post to read a lot more about what this 'religion" is actually all about. It is a sick perversion.

[olivia3boys]

No, Ellen Tauscher’s. . .almost as bad as Pelosi but not quite.

[CitizenM]

Let me know how Jesus rates your rantings, what with flying in the face of "love your neighbor as yourself" and all.

That's for sure. And we would all like to find out how God rates your breaking of the Third Commandment - Thou shall not use the name of God in vain," when you, Wright, said "G.D. America." How will God react to your blasphemy. That is NOT what preachers are supposed to be teaching. Racist remarks will pale compared to your blasphemous behavior and speaches. God will not judge you by your deeds, anyone can do good deeds. God judges people by what is in their heart and the blackness of their soul. Not raceist "blackness," but the evil, hate-inciting, hurtful, riot-enticing blackness you have been holding and spreading.

You might have convinced your congregation to keep you in designer clothing, and pay you enough to buy yourself a million dollar home. You might have convinced them to drop their hard earned pennies into your collection and keep you supported in a way to which you became accustomed. But, at the Gates of Heaven, there will be no bargining with God and no mansion waiting for you. There might not even a place at all in Heaven for you. Will you blame God, and say he is a murderer to His face like you did in your speech?
