Obama and the Rev Wright: Association and Influence concerns prompt repudiation and strategic withdrawal

Published by Karl under election 2008, obama, racism

To me the title really details the critical point of the issue.  The story starts with Obama's church.  The leader Rev Wright is a fire and brimstone pulpit pounder, but not the usual sort.  Imagine if Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan all rolled into one with a touch of Michael Moore tossed in.  The only sermons I have heard have all been directed not at soul saving, but at creating a culture of distrust and division between blacks and whites.

His social philosophy is summed up by what he calls Black Liberation Theology.  Essentially, it is blame everyone and ensure your status as victim is assured.

Obama has been under fire a while on his association with a guy who blames the US for 911, Aids, Drugs and a whole laundry list of other problems, as well as a healthy pro Palestinian belief.

Rolling Stone did a lengthy assessment of the man and the preacher last year.

Wright takes the pulpit here one Sunday and solemnly, sonorously declares that he will recite ten essential facts about the United States. "Fact number one: We've got more black men in prison than there are in college," he intones. "Fact number two: Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!" There is thumping applause; Wright has a cadence and power that make Obama sound like John Kerry. Now the reverend begins to preach. "We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns and the training of professional KILLERS. . . . We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. . . . We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. . . . We care nothing about human life if the ends justify the means!" The crowd whoops and amens as Wright builds to his climax: "And. And. And! GAWD! Has GOT! To be SICK! OF THIS SHIT!"
