Say Anything: Obama Speech: Jeremiah Wright Is As Much A Part Of Me As My Grandmother

  • Christian Prophet · 1 year ago
    Barack Obama wants to both eat his cake and have it. He wants voters to rise above race and religion, while appearing religious himself. He is in deep trouble if a spotlight is placed on his own THEOLOGY. See:

    Either Obama is [b]lying[/b] that after twenty years he had no idea Wright held these aberrant, hate filled views; Or, he is grossly [b]ignorant[/b] when such views are being expressed, and in either case it makes him unqualified to be Commander-In-Chief!

    But....Rev Wright sermonizes often in his church that he hates Obama's grandmother.

    Neiman. I think it is worse than this. Many people have withheld judgement on these-type "churches", mosques, etc for decades. We now have seen yet a sample of this hatred for people unlike them and worse than that, a mind set that includes anti-american hatred and the mentality that the world owes them a living because someone's great-great-grandfather was treated badly. Many people have been treated this way and way worse. Murdered by communists.
    These people also express pro-communist ideas. We now know The Truth about this church and should take a look at more like them.

    Barrak Obama is lying about attending church for TWENTY who the minister, Rev. Wright, who was openly racist towards whites and made anti-American rants.

    My bet is that the Dems will embrace his explanation and spin this back on the Republicans as being racist.

    As I expected, this sort of deeply revealing information is on FOX news. The Dems who watch CNN and MSNBC are going to see two contrasts: The great messianic Obama and the Obama who is a malcontent and is putting on an act--a conclusion exposed by the recent comments of Rev. Wright.

    However, the two are hardly compatible with each other so much that the former is going to be forgotten easily in some maybe even many cases.

    The sort of news that is being posted on FOX is what needs to be shown to the Dems on other medias, they need to acclimate themselves with the disturbing idea that Obama is a man who does not like America, that the comments of Rev. Wright and the videos on this blog post need to be shown EVERYWHERE.

    Factual evidence such as this, not to bring down Obama, but to confront him with.

    It is independents and liberal, Obama Republicans (Talk about a contradiction in terms) that will make the difference. My guess is, unless the conservatives keep digging, find out more facts and keep this story alive, it will very, very soon fade into history. McCain will not bring it up in the General Election, to not lose all blacks Hillary will keep quiet about it all, and the story will die. The result? Obama is still the man to beat in the Nominating process and the Genearl election. This was not a death blow!

    I still say, unless this story has more legs after this spech or another major scandal arises, it is President Obama this November.

    What is amazing is Mrs. Obama has already kinda spilled the beans. Her statement about being proud of America for the first time goes hand in hand with the Rev. Wright spewed. Of course the liberals will see it differently.

    If you read Obama's speech and ignore his delivery, you learn that he is just as hate filled and ignorant as his Pastor. He is a skilled orator but Presidential material, NO WAY!

    Getting yourself pastored for 20 years by a radical hater shows bad judgment. Lying about it when asked by the media shows dishonesty. Request for presidency denied.

    Republicans can only wish they had a communicator as sincerely honest, articulate and motivational.

    Imagine if George Bush had addressed every issue he had as honestly and directly? Again, the Republicans only wish, they could have someone with this much character.

    Obama is going to crush McCain.
  • dirl126 · 1 year ago
    Hannitized: Puhhlease! Character?!?

    McCain was tortured for the name of his fellow soldiers in his squadron as a POW in the Vietnam war and you know what names he gave them?

    The offensive line of the green-bay packers.

    That's character.

    Meanwhile Obama is supporting a Reverend who is despises the world and a wife who can hardly see America for what it is best.

    People admire and glorify the pessimistic unfulfilled lives of people like them too much.

    And McCain supports and welcomes money and support from Pastor Hagee, who thinks Katrina happened because of gays.

    A[quote]lso on February 27, John Hagee, founder and senior pastor of Cornerstone Church [b]in San Antonio, Texas --who has made numerous controversial statements about, among other things, homosexuality, Islam, Catholicism, and women -- endorsed Sen. John McCain for president. Following Hagee's endorsement, McCain said, "All I can tell you is I'm very proud to have pastor Hagee's support."[/b] The endorsement and McCain's embrace of it raise the question of whether MSNBC will devote coverage to them comparable to its coverage of the Farrakhan issue.

    On the September 18, 2006, edition of National Public Radio's Fresh Air, host Terry Gross said to Hagee[b], "You said after Hurricane Katrina that it was an act of God, and you said 'when you violate God's will long enough, the judgment of God comes to you. Katrina is an act of God for a society that is becoming Sodom and Gomorrah reborn.' " She then asked, "Do you still think that Katrina is punishment from God for a society that's becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah?" Hagee responded:

    HAGEE: All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that. The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing.[/b] I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment. And I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.

    Earlier in the program, Gross asked if Hagee believed that "all Muslims have a mandate to kill Christians and Jews," to which Hagee replied, "Well, the Quran teaches that. Yes, it teaches that very clearly."[/quote]

    Hannitized: Thanks for complaining about how Wright's words were taken out of context and refusing [i]repeated[/i] requests to put [b]"God Damn America"[/b] in it's proper context!

    PS Telling us about whatever John McCain has done is NOT context for what Wright has said.

    Telling us what a liar and propagandist Rob is is NOT context for what Wright said.

    Here's a quarter, buy a clue! The context of what he said is the context for what he said. (Duh!) Would you care to parse it for us?

    About Obama's speech:

    Rev. Jim Wallis, after reading Obama's speech, said it was powerful and recommended that all Americans should listen to or read the speech, with their children.
    The mostly negative remarks about the speech came naturally from FoxNews.

    Good points, Hannitized.

    Some people do demur from comments like that, as Hagee confessed. I think I am one of them.

    I agree that katrina was destiny. I agree that New Orleans is a city full of sin. But the reasons for it happening are up to God and God alone.

    I'll take it with humility and won't bother speculating as deeply as Hagee has done.

    But, as Proof said, this is not context for what Wright said.
