Sheesh. Never hit “post” while on the telephone.

In the first paragraph, the quotation should close after the last period.

In the second paragraph, there should be an apostrophe so that Rev. Wrights reads Rev. Wright’s. Additionally, “was” should be omitted, so that it reads in part “by his own statements, Candidate Obama”.

“I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ,”

All we did was push play, fool.

Would that force be the disinfecting power of sunlight?

"Obama the Savior"

Louis Farrakhan, at the annual Saviours' Day celebration in Chicago, Feb. 25, 2008: "This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better"..."If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."
Source: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=4337417

Louis Farrakhan, at the Millions More Movement rally in DC, Oct 15, 2005: "...what Mao Tse Tung did was, he went to the cultural community, and they [Farrakhan spreads his arms beneficently] accepted his idea."..."Mao Tse Tung ... had a billion people whose lives he had to transform."..."the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people, and China became a world power on the base of the culture and the arts community. If we had a ministry of art and culture in every city we'd create this movement [in the U.S.]."

Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Obama's "spirtual advisor" and pastor of more than 20 years, honors "Honorable" Minister Louis Farrakhan with the "Jeremiah A. Wright Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer Award" at the 2007 Trumpet Gala held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle
FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

how dare the world expose his excitement over 3,000 dead Americans on 9/11?

Many of whom died horrendous deaths, which were entirely undeserved....I hope that "the chickens come home to roost" for Mr. Wright and that he is universally reviled.

“Wright said he has never heard Obama repeat any of the pastor’s controversial statements as his own opinion. “No, no, no. Absolutely not,” Wright said.”

From this article http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D908C8Q01&show_article=1

I love how Wright vehemently denies that Obama would ever spout out the same hateful, racist words that he uses. Does he actually listen to himself? We can not let Rev. Wright be the spiritual leader of our president, well all end up in chains.

Jon Stewart on the Daily Show interviewed B. Hussein on the eve of the PA. primary. In the interview, he sardonically asked Hussein “If you become President, is it true that you intend to enslave the white race in America?”

I guess Stewart thought he was asking an absurd question and would get an absurd answer.

Hussein, with a big s***-eating grin, replied, “Of course not.”

Reminds me of the old saying...”Many a true word is spoken in jest.”

Wright said that, as an activist, he is accustomed to being "at odds with the establishment," but the response to the sermons has been "very, very unsettling."

I'm sure, Reverend, you've read the admonition "We Reap What We Sow" (6:7-9)

You sow dissension and hatred and you expect to reap peace and love?

Yes. He’s a liar. Few people around Obama are saying it now, but I think his candidacy is damaged goods.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright said publicizing sounds bites of those speeches was "devious." "I felt it was unfair. I felt it was unjust. I felt it was untrue," he said.

Wow - he used every liberal and dishonest debater trick in the book:

1. My feelings are more important than the facts

2. My critics are the evil ones, not me.

3. I AM the one being treated unfairly.

4. Hand waving.

Oh, and Obama piled on too:

In a March 18 speech in Philadelphia, Obama described the history of injustice that fueled Wright's comments, while also condemning his pastor's statements and acknowledging white resentment of African-Americans.

5. HEY! Everyone look over THERE!
