Obama's Pastor & Mentor G-Damns America
Obama's mentor and spiritual advisor G-damns America.
...And, says the terrorist state of America brought on 9-11.
Obama's nutty pastor is back in the news...
This time the Rev. Jeremiah Wright G-Damns America and says, "The US is to blame for 9-11."
ABC News reported:
Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America."Preach it, Jeremiah!
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism."
In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.
ABC asks: "Is Obama's pastor a liability?"
Nah... ya think?
FOX News posted a report on the controversial paster last night.
The United Church of Christ blog has more on the attacks on Obama's controversial pastor:
An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.In January the United Church of Christ backed Wright and denounced the smear campaign attacking the good minister.
"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."
In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.
Today's revelation is right up there with his comments about Bill Clinton...
"That Bill Clinton did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky."
Maybe he could offer the prayer at the DNC's Fall Convention?
HotAir reports that Wright has a role within the Obama campaign.
STACLU has video.

Obama's Pastor: "Clinton Treats Blacks Like Monica Lewinsky"
UPDATE: Jeremiah Wright is more than just a pastor to the Obamas, via Sweetness and Light and the Chicago Tribune from last year:
Obama says that rather than advising him on strategy, Wright helps keep his priorities straight and his moral compass calibrated.Michael Zak blames Hillary.
“What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice,” Obama said. “He’s much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I’m not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that’s involved in national politics.” …
In his 1993 memoir “Dreams from My Father,” Obama recounts in vivid detail his first meeting with Wright in 1985. The pastor warned the community activist that getting involved with Trinity might turn off other black clergy because of the church’s radical reputation.
When Obama sought his own church community, he felt increasingly at home at Trinity…
Later he would base his 2004 keynote speech to the Democratic National Convention on a Wright sermon called “Audacity to Hope,” –also the inspiration for Obama’s second memoir, “The Audacity of Hope.”
Though Wright and Obama do not often talk one-on-one often, the senator does check with his pastor before making any bold political moves.

Then move to Zimbabwe. Seriously. They have killed and driven out all the whites, it should be paradise for you. Why aren't you there right this second?
I just viewed the video over at Hot Air featured the lunatic pastor preaching to his congregation - I kind of pity the man, since he figures Jesus Christ was a black man, when Jesus was clearly, according to Bible scripture and written historical accounts, a white man. I'm sure the bible would have mentioned Mary gave birth to a colored baby, if she had. Perhaps believing Jesus was a poor black man makes it palatable for this pastor to accept the teachings of the Bible, even though he construes them to fit his own political and black agenda.
I have a couple words for this black pastor and his congregation - "Go Home," to Africa because it is obvious you hate it in America; and the white folk will promise not to buy you back from Muslim Africans that sold you all those years ago to the white folk.
I certainly hope this pastor's church and its congregation is not the norm in the black Christian community.
Many men call themselves Christians, but they are really sons of Satan - I'd say this pastor either is mentally-challenged and/or a son of Satan.
Racism is sure alive and well in America.
Michelle Obama goes to this church; no wonder she hates America after listening to her pastor who HATES America and the white folk that run the place.
The scary thing is that "God Damn AmeriKKKa" is well within the mainstream of black culture.
""I wouldn't call it radical. I call it being black in America," said one congregation member outside the church last Sunday."
The contest for the democrat nomination is between the black cultural chip on the shoulder ( as displayed by the Rev and Michelle Obama ) versus white guilt which is the bedrock of liberal thinking.

"I kind of pity the man, since he figures Jesus Christ was a black man, when Jesus was clearly, according to Bible scripture and written historical accounts, a white man."
I pity you if you are taken a book written, translated, edited, re-edited, translated, edited, edited some more and for a little variety edited as being entirely accurate to say Jesus was a white man.
He was an Arabic Jew. Not white, not black.
Maybe I'm being overly pragmatic as an atheist but that makes far more sense.
And before you lob insults my way, I think that preacher is a complete, hateful, whack job and could probably use a long walk off a short pier.

well, i'd say Jesus was whatever ethnicity his
mother Mary was, wouldn't that be logical??
Mary, Mother Of Jesus
excerpt:
[122:1.2 Mary, the earth mother of Jesus, was a descendant of a long line of unique ancestors embracing many of the most remarkable women in the racial history of Urantia. Although Mary was an average woman of her day and generation, possessing a fairly normal temperament, she reckoned among her ancestors such well-known women as Annon, Tamar, Ruth, Bathsheba, Ansie, Cloa, Eve, Enta, and Ratta. No Jewish woman of that day had a more illustrious lineage of common progenitors or one extending back to more auspicious beginnings. Mary's ancestry, like Joseph's, was characterized by the predominance of strong but average individuals, relieved now and then by numerous outstanding personalities in the march of civilization and the progressive evolution of religion. Racially considered, it is hardly proper to regard Mary as a Jewess. In culture and belief she was a Jew, but in hereditary endowment she was more a composite of Syrian, Hittite, Phoenician, Greek, and Egyptian stocks, her racial inheritance being more general than that of Joseph.]
i'm certain there many are other accounts (most being she had Jew in her lineage somewhere & Jesus had red hair, but i digress).. besides, Jews & Arabs are kissin' cousins when it comes to DNA, go figure..
bottom line for me: i don't care what color his skin, hair, eyes or ethnicity was, it was who he was & what he did / stood for that counts.. :)

Will Obama's socialist ways turn the US into another Zimbabwe?
Could Obama be just another Mugabe in waiting?
Interesting.
The fact that ABC decided to run this piece means a couple of things.
1. The story was becoming too well known and the MSM couldn't bury it anymore. We can all thank bloggers like GP for that. 20 years ago only a few would have known about this because there was no other real source for news and information outside of the MSM. This is just proof positive that the MSM is no longer the gatekeeper of information.
2. The powers that be inside the Democratic party now realize that everything I have been saying about Obama is true. He is a racist, a communist, an anti American and a supporter of Islamofascism and the Sharia. They also know that they can not keep these little facts buried or toss the race card at any and all who bring them up. They know they now have a totally unelectable front runner for the nomination.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So don't be surprised if the next "bombshell" out of the MSM is Obama's Kenyan activities. If that occurs you will know that the party is trying to make sure he is so unpalatable to the party as a whole that there will be little rancor when the superdelegates vote for Hillary and she gets the nomination on the second ballot when the delegates are unlocked. It also means that the party has decided that the race warriors and the nutroots are expendable.
Has the United States committed acts of terrorism? Yes sir. Have those acts of terrorism probably pissed off certain people? Nah, ya think?
At least the pastor blamed terrorism for the attacks, and not unholiness like those right-wing hate mongers Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.

Chris, I don't think you grasped the jist of my first paragraph, and that was although, I know Jesus Christ was white, Obama's pastor's unsubstantiated claim that Jesus Christ was black probably makes it palatable for him to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. Now if he believed Jesus Christ to be white, from the sounds of his sermon, he would have rejected Christ first off, without another thought given to Christianity.
"Maybe I'm being overly pragmatic as an atheist but that makes far more sense." by chrisbg99
It may make more sense to you to believe Christ was an Arabic Jew, but there is no word of truth in it.
According to the Bible, which has actually been transcribed directly from the orginal transcripts and available to all in the Ferrar Fenton's Bible, the lineage of Jesus is printed out in full and for a reason.
The only true Jews are racial Jews from Judah - they are not the 'Jewish religion.' Judah was one of the 12 tribes of Israel, and the people of Judah were later in the text of the Bible referred to as Jews, not the Jews of the Jewish religion of today, but the racial Jews of the tribe of Judah.
The Jews of today are comprised of two main groups - Sephardim and Ashkenazim. The Sephardim Jews are the racial Jews of Judah. The Ashkenazim Jews descend from the Khazars - Asiatic people and they trace their ancestry back to Japheth, not Shem, so they are neither Semitic nor descendants of Abraham.
Only racial Jews are from the tribe of Judah, and they can be of the Jewish religion or not, but they are of the House of Israel - Israelites. The Khazars are of the Jewish religion, not of the racial peoples of Judah.
Today, any race can call themselves Jewish - it is a religion today, even though racial Jews of Judah also exist.
I hope this has made something a little clearer for you chris.
I guess that Wright resigned from the church. I'm kinda curious, what did he receive his doctorate in, race-baiting?
Dude just lost my vote. Hillary is pure evil. McCain makes me mad.
What a bunch of losers running for President...sheesh
Colored Baby? Some of you are so ignorant. First of all the African American people were brought here against their will. So before you start telling people to go back to where they came from think about where you came from. It is a known fact that all of our DNA trace back to Africa whether you are black or white.
I dont even wish to know what bible your looking at. You are just as ignorant as the pastor. Who cares what race Jesus was or is. The point is we are all GOD's children.
I'm sure that a lot of you have pastors, familes, friends and coworkers that have done or said something that you dont agree with. Does that make you like them? Stop judging!!!!!
We are all human. You can not hold Obama accountable for someone elses actions or acquisations. At this point Obama still has my vote.
You all probably voted for Bush.

[First of all the African American people were brought here against their will.]
yes they were, and Republicans (abolitionists) fought long and hard to free salves.. hence, America no longer supports nor promote slavery..
speaking of slavery, here's a sample..
WHEN EUROPEANS WERE SLAVES
excerpt:
[Davis said it is useful to compare this Mediterranean slavery to the Atlantic slave trade that brought black Africans to the Americas. Over the course of four centuries, the Atlantic slave trade was much larger – about 10 to 12 million black Africans were brought to the Americas. But from 1500 to 1650, when trans-Atlantic slaving was still in its infancy, more white Christian slaves were probably taken to Barbary than black African slaves to the Americas, according to Davis.]
Arab slave trade
excerpts:
[Instances of Arab prejudice regarding Negroid peoples and slaves
"...the Negro nations are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because (Negroes) have little that is (essentially) human and possess attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals..."
However, Ibn Khaldun also wrote of the Arabs themselves:
:"they are the most savage human beings that exist. Compared with sedentary people, they are on a level with wild, untamable animals and dumb beasts of prey ... Arabs dominate only on the plains, because they are, by their savage nature, people of pillage and corruption. They pillage everything that they can take without fighting or taking risks, then flee to their refuge in the wilderness, and do not stand and do battle unless in self defence."]
In addition, there is debate over his ethnicity, some refer to him as Andalusian/Spanish (he grew up there, his parents were from there), some say he was a Berber/North African (time spent in Tunis, ancestry), and some say he was an arab (he traced ancestors to Yemen).
Main article: Ibn Khaldun
In the same period, the Egyptian Al-Abshibi (1388-1446) wrote, "It is said that when the [black] slave is sated, he fornicates, when he is hungry, he steals."]
[Slave markets and fairs
Enslaved Africans were sold in the towns of the Muslim world. In 1416, al-Makrisi told how pilgrims coming from Takrur (near the Senegal river) had brought 1700 slaves with them to Mecca. In North Africa, the main slave markets were in Morocco, Algiers, Tripoli and Cairo. Sales were held in public places or in souks. Potential buyers made a careful examination of the "merchandise": they checked the state of health of a person who was often standing naked with wrists bound together. In Cairo, transactions involving eunuchs and concubines happened in private houses. Prices varied according to the slave's quality]
Modern Slavery
excerpt:
["There he found several Dinka men hobbling, their Achilles tendons cut because they refused to become Muslims."]
Slave Trade Thrives in Sudan
History of slavery
excerpt:
[The history of slavery covers many different forms of human exploitation across many cultures and throughout human history. Slavery, generally defined, refers to the systematic exploitation of labor for work and services without consent and/or the possession of other persons as property. There is no clear timeline for the formation of slavery in any formalized sense. Slavery can be traced to the earliest records, such as the Code of Hammurabi, which refers to slavery as an already established institution.]
re: [You all probably voted for Bush.]
i can only speak for myself.. and YES, i voted for Bush (i'm also a registered JFK Democrat who's "party is no more").. God Bless America!!

Obama's sense of judgment, a needed characteristic for a good president, is in doubt. In addition to Wright who has been removed, another extremeist hateful clergyperson still appears on Obama's website, Fr. Pfleger. This priest was rebuked by his bishop after he addressed a crowd trying to shut down a lawful business, calling on the crowd to "snuff out" the owner of the business, identifying the person by name. He later tried to spin his statement claiming that he was not calling for violence against the person. However, an objective examination of the words and the context in which they were used would lead a reasonable person to conclude that he was trying to incite the crowd to violence. He made references to the person as a rat, saying he could not hide, and that "we" would find him and snuff him out. Such hate and threats violates both the law of God and of the state.
