Don’t leave out the anti-Semitic parts.
Barry Dumbo Obomba, your preacher has blown your cover.
How about he decries the forces of division in his church?
Gee Mr. Obama, does the 'About Us' statement from your church of 20 years not sound a bit divisive?
About Us
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
A congregation committed to ADORATION.
A congregation preaching SALVATION.
A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.
My apologies to those who might be reading this for the umpteenth time that I've posted this 'About Us' screed over the past couple of weeks.
It really rubs me the wrong way (even more than some whacked out sermons from their pastor).
The tucc.org should rework their 'About Us' page and make it Christ centric and not Afro centric. We're the ones that paint everything by race and class divisions. Not God. If they insist that their 'About Us' statement really does define themselves -- then leave the Church and properly call themselves a racial club. The KKK can use some company.
The “forces” are Clinton, Inc. and they’re dividing Hussein from the nomination.

“Hope-Nosis”
How about Obamanosis!
Wright is a malignant bigot and a cancer in the "Black" community. Your defense of him proves you are also just another narcissistic Black race huckster, who lies and connives as it suits your needs and desires.
No, she won't give it away - she'll sell it.
You can disagree with reverend Wright, Barack, but he did make 1 true statement.
“Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky” - Reverend Wright.
Amplify that.
I sure hope McCain's 'Spiritual Guide'...Reverend Rod Parsley...didn't say anything that John would have to stand by...
...like God established the USA to kill all the Islamic people in the world...
Oh, no...oh, dear...
Clintons win for sure on this one...the couple of times they went to church, Bill was sleeping & Hitlery was counting the recent campaign receivables from China...
THEY HEARD NOTHING...
“How about Obamanosis!”
LOL!
Even better!
Sounds like a mental disease.
"Vast right-wing conspiracy" coming directly from a scumbag candidate's mouth is the standard for divisive.
I think we have a great history, and he is not part of it.
When Obama said on Friday, “When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign. I made it clear at the time that I strongly condemned his comments.”, yet another lie?
We need a FReeper that is good at photoshop to put Obama and Farrakan right in the Oval Office smiling. We'll can put that picture in more brains so the importance of it will sink in.
“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”
Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.
“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”
“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”
