LGF: Rev. Wright Magazine Featured Obama on Cover with Farrakhan
Little Green Footballs ^ | Tue, May 13, 2008 at 4:41:39 pm PST

Posted on 05/13/2008 5:33:28 PM PDT by Jean S

To this day, Barack Obama continues to insist he was shocked and surprised to discover that Reverend Jeremiah Wright had bizarre racist views.

Now Tom Blumer has discovered images of Wright’s radical newsmagazine Trumpet—and look who was featured on the cover of that magazine at least three times: BizzyBlog - Attention Stanley Kurtz, Re Obama, Wright, Trumpet: I’ve Got You Covered.

Here’s one of the images, featuring pictures of Barack Obama, Rev. Wright — and Louis Farrakhan. Isn’t that cozy?

For more about the deranged, hateful content of Trumpet, see: Jeremiah Wright’s ‘Trumpet’.

It’s a picture of Obama’s head on the same page as Farrakhan’s head (and about 17 others), not an arm-around-the-shoulder buddy shot.

wow, great find - so within the past 2+ years Obama shared a place of honor on the cover of this rag with.... Louis Farrakhan! But Obama had no hint, no clue, ever, about the “real views” of Rev. Wright. Oh, sure.

This is great material — hope it makes its way beyond the blogosphere as most of the MSM, like CNN’s John Roberts, will try to simply ignore it.

True, but the question is whether Obama lied when he pretended he had absolutely no clue as to the more controversial views of Jeremiah Wright. I don’t think anyone is imagining (at least I’m not) that Obama and Farrakhan are best buddies, but I do think Obama has been dishonest, repeatedly, about his supposed innocence and ignorance wrt Rev. Wright.

Aha - they found it!

The Trumpet wouldn’t release any info about the issue. I kept saying if they found it, it could be deadly for Obama.

Talking about it is one thing, a nice picture is another.

The msm will have to leap to the defense of their beloved BHO and brand any such criticism as “racist,” “divisive,” and “a distraction.” Anything that isn’t slavering admiration of His Highness will not be tolerated by the Leftist media.

This off-topic, but it concerns Obama. Why don't we seize the opportunity provided by the MSM's cramming of Obama down our throats to permanently de-claw the IRS?

This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Senator Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.

Obama, a big-shot federal spender
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.

The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.

I think you're wrong. Obama has won the popular vote, it's over except for the superdelagates and if they overrule the popular vote the dem party will be in disarray for years. The dem loyalty to the Clintons is not that strong, they've been bullying the party for years and I don't think that the party will allow themselves to be bullyed any longer.

Obama is open season now imo.

I agree. Further, it is to our advantage to keep Obama a little off balance. When he seems to be getting his feet under him, we need to hit him with something else like this. So long as that happens, Hillary will keep thinking she has a chance. Even if Obama has it in the bag, as long as she thinks there is hope she will stay in the race, and keep throwing a monkeywrench into the Dems works.

This is, IMO, one of the most entertaining primaries I’ve ever seen.

Pretty damning regarding B.O. Hussein regarding all of articles about him and his pictures on the covers of Wright’s magazine.
B.O. Hussein is either the dumbest rock in the Universe to not be aware of Wright’s Racist ways, or B.O. Hussein is a Huge Liar, either one would rule him out for consideration as Dog Catcher, let alone the highest office in Our Great Country! Why doesn’t BO hold his Heart when Our Flag passes? It’s obvious now, its not his Country’s Flag!

Ya just gotta love it. Every little change in the rules and dates that the dems made, thinking it would help them in the election, has turned around to bite them in the butt.

One of the first times in my life where hearing news about republicans makes me mad.. and hearing news about democrats makes me laugh.

Yeah, one must really question the competency of a man who could attend a church for that many years, and have no idea that the minister is an anti-american racist. Just the sort of guy we want with the finger on the button.

"Being an obvious liar or clueless imbecile won’t help Obama get elected. Most don’t believe his denials"

This is the danger lurking in the water for Obama: He was associating with terrorists, racists, and a crooked influence peddler who helps him buy his house and He had NO idea!!!

He's either lying big time, or he's too stupid to be a state Senator (let alone President).

If anybody wants to find the “lost copies” of Trumpet, I’d suggest the Library of Congress, or a little wandering around in the back stacks of the libraries of some of the more radical African-American colleges, like Howard, for example.

Or someone could advertise in Chicago to offer say $50.00 for each monthly copy. Small potatoes when the presidency is on the line.

Exit polling from WV today showed that 50% of the voters believe that Obama at least to some extent shares Reverend Wright's beliefs.

That's 50% of Democrat voters.

“Black nationalists” are akin to Nazi brownshirts. They believe in irrationality, racial myths, anti-Semitism, and groupthink. They use violence or the threat of violence to achieve their goals. They believe in paranoid conspiracies, and fear dissent.

“People need to hold these stories until after the nomination.”

Normally that would be the case. I just happen to think that the exposition of the “Rev.” Wright/Obama lovenest and bringing it out prior to the nomination was orchestrated by Obama and Wright so that there would be no “October surprises”. Also, they wanted to show how defiant Wright is because they know that there are many defiant people in this country.....and I’m not talking about only the black ones. There are Asians, Hispanics, American Indians, Caucasians, as well as blacks.....in other words, people from all walks of life who are defiant just for the sake of being defiant. They hope to win those “defiance” votes, too. Obama and Wright are still in bed together. They probably talk on the telephone every day and laugh at the “white fools” they have sucked in.

In addition, I have listened to some of Farakhan’s sermons. I found myself agreeing with some, but not all, of the things he said.
