When the former junior state senator from Chicago, one Barack Obama—a man no one knew diddly about—decided, “Hey, I’m gonna run for president!” people were eager to learn more about this promising upstart. Uncle Joe Biden was curious about Barack. Joe said at first blush that Obama seemed “clean” and “articulate,” which, I think, would be a hate crime if a conservative said that about him.
Anyhoo, Obama impressed many chiefly because he could enthusiastically read vague, cliché-riddled speeches off a teleprompter that included lots of big words like nobody’s business! This ability to read hazy political speeches in public without putting folks into a full-on level IV coma left the bedazzled masses wondering, “Who is this masked man? Who are his buddies?” and … “Are there more like him? He’s a doozy!”
Yep, people wanted to know from whence he came, what books he read and what groups supported him because he was three words: A-May-Zing! As the various news outlets started finding out that BHO’s buddies were sordid, anti-American fellows of the baser sort; his favorite book was dedicated to Lucifer; his endorsers included Communists and Hamas; and his folks weren’t exactly the Huxtables, the mainstream media decided, “Eh, let’s not talk about his past and his present friends and philosophy but rather how inspiring his fuzzy speeches are and how skinny he is.”
Indeed, everybody was like, “Well, those are some strange playmates, and those books are interesting—really not the ones we would read, but who are we to judge? And haven’t we all had, at one time or another, one or two friends in our past who dedicated riot-inducing books to Satan, set off a bomb in the Capitol Building and hated Israel with a passion? Would we like it if people painted us with our friends’ bizarre brush?”
Gadfly Sean Hannity wouldn’t leave well enough alone in ‘07 and decided to investigate not only Obama’s pals but Barack and Michelle’s pastor/mentor and religion that they had enjoyed for the last two decades. Boy howdy, did Hannity and others stumble onto some interesting revelations about Obama’s church. Stuff like ...
· Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories
· The advocacy of bizarre, pseudo-scientific racial ideas
· Opposition to interracial marriage
· Praising Communist dictatorships
· The denunciation of black “assimilation”
· The belief that the American government created AIDS to kill black people
· Preaching that America deserved 9/11 terrorists attacks
· The fact that Reverend Wright was, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, a “close confidant” of Obama
When common folks discovered Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s religious views were racist, Marxist and nuttier than a squirrel’s turd, some rightly wondered if BHO also believed this bogus smack, and if not, why he would sit for twenty years listening to those race-baiting beliefs if he fundamentally and radically disagreed. Why, they wondered, did he not vehemently condemn this cuckoo stuff?
The media, however, decided for us cattle that Reverend Wright’s racially-charged sermons, his black liberation theology and the fact that Obama sat for two decades under this slow drip of heresy wasn’t newsworthy and bypassed those tasty morsels. Instead, they crucified anyone who dared question Obama’s affiliation with his class warfare junkie Jeremiah (who was swiftly tossed under BHO’s campaign bus).
Fast-forward to 2012 and Mitt Romney and his religion.
The same media that ignored information about Obama’s racist religious roots steeped in Marxism is already queuing up with queries about Romney’s Mormonism as somehow being weird and a tad white. MSNBC led the charge this past week wondering aloud if and when Mitt would rebuke Mormonism’s disallowance of blacks into the Mormon priesthood until 1978. The duplicitous journalists who saw no story in the well-documented anti-honky rhetoric of Wright’s/Obama’s “religion” now want to paint Romney with the racist brush? How convenient.
As an evangelical I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t get Mormonism, but I do get Marxism, and we’re now seeing the political fruit coming from Obama’s ignored and divisive theological roots. Which leads me to this conclusion as an evangelical: I don’t care if Mitt is crazy rich and wears magic Mormon underroos. In 2012 I will take a quasi-conservative Mormon who has been ridiculously successful over an uncompromised Marxist any ol’ day.
And lastly, a word of advice for the MSM: I would leave Mitt’s Mormonism well enough alone unless, of course, you want Obama’s religious roots to be exposed, as well. I believe Americans will find in Mormonism more pro-traditional American sentiments than they will in Reverend Wright’s greatest sermon collections.
Obama and his people are still furious that the right called him out on the Jeremiah Wright issue. It was a foregone conclusion that they would take great pleasure in doing the same with Willard’s Mormonism——and it’s a target-rich environment.
Oh, well. The GOP-e wanted their Mormon, and now they’ve pretty much got him.
“Obama shows no signs of having been taught by Wright.”
Then why did he choose such a racist POS for his attorney general?
BTW, IIRC we have a great conservative radio personality on WLAC named Doug Giles ... but I could be mistaken.
All of the problems with this country are because of George Bush, Harry Reid AND Mitt Romney!
Because little barry bastard is a racist. I suspect Mooseshell picked the Wright church precisely for its racist rantings. Link Holder to Wright, then you might have a case for barry picking eric because of cooking in Wright’s race ahtred church.
Wow! A gentleman and a scholar. Newt would be embarassed to have you as a supporter.
One of the blatant proofs tyhat little barry soetoro is not as bright as the media have built him up to be is barry’s long association with billy the bomber ayers, whose radical beliefs include using blacks as cannon fodder to stoke the revolution and destroy America. If Barry dunhams was so intelligent he would have picked up on that while college aged. He still hasn’t.
With liars and fifth column enemies, I am neither a gentleman nor a shcolar to them. I believe in aggressive response when trolls attack my home or my friends. I’m a friend of Newt ... but my judgment isn’t flawless, I was also a friend of Glenn Beck.
Not really meaningful. Best thing Mitt can do for Republicans is to step down out of the campaign and leave it to the Conservatives ~ else he won’t even have anybody but a handful of party pros out there campaigning for him.
And, the Senate did not improve under Mormon control. Now they can’t even product a national budget!
Good old State Run Gangster Government Media. They never disappoint.
Their guy should retire from the primaries. He's got about 30% of the vote ~ and that is outside the prevailing Republican/Conservative orthodoxy.
You get the nomination with 30% you end up campaigning by yourself!
Good old State Run Gangster Government Media. They never disappoint.
I gave money to Herman, and state-controlled media took him out.
I gave money to Newt, and state-controlled media knee-capped him.
My support seems to be the kiss of death.
Nope, all the could see was polls from the same media telling them that only Romney could beat Obama. They took the bait, hook, line, sinker, and are currently choking down the pole.
The GOP-e has been backing Mitt long before polls for this election even started. Just look how far back you can find Rove talking him up and talking everyone else down. He was supposed to be pumped up to be inevitable months ahead of Iowa and declared the official nominee then. There are only two possible reasons for it. They wanted his big Wall Street money and/or they liked his self-described progressive views. The establishment worked very long and hard to outflank the Tea Party on this one and we’ll find out on June 6th if they won this round.
Those Mormons can all go to hell! Wait... they ARE all going to hell.
Don't try and tell me about Mormons, I know all about em!
(HUGE SARC TAG) (Mormon = Muslim, above)
I will not vote for Romney, but his faith has NOTHING to do with it. Not even a little bit. It is a non issue, but I would like to know if he wears boxers, briefs, or magic underpants.
Ya had to know this was coming ... hope the mormons are ready to have the formally disinterested public learn how weird and unorthodox their religion is ...
