Obamas Rev. Wright Slams Italians

[Psycho4Bud]

The irrepressible Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. is at it again, this time taking aim at Italians -- expounding a two millenium grudge against the sons and daughters of Rome -- and their (allegedly) breath-altering prediliction for scampi and pesto.

From the Wright-written eulogy for scholar Asa Hilliard in the Dec. 2007 edition of the Trumpet magazine: "(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him... The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."

After calling Jesus's crucifixion "a public lynching Italian style" executed in "Apartheid Rome," he goes on to claim that white supremicists run the U.S. government:

"The government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the Klan, white supremacy is clearly in charge, but Asa, like Jesus, refused to be defined by an oppressive government because Asa got his identity from an Omnipotent God."

All this was written before his friend and former parishoner vaulted to the front of the Democratic pack -- and before Obama denounced his previous comments on race, AIDS, etc.

And this is where Obama took his children to learn of the teachings of God? Kind of shows a lack of judgement or brains!

Have a good one!:s4:

Also shows a massive lack of foresight by Obama, and ALL of his peeps.
Crap...fell asleep listening to Obama drone-on about the economy. Oh well, likely not important nor insightful.

A couple of months ago, I was trying to read-up on Wright and his church, but started running into some minor problems. Every time I went back to the website of Trinity United Church of Christ, to read about their charities, their doctrine, the subjects covered in their monthly rag, 'The Trumpet' the website had changed...
Trinity United Church of Christ

They peeled all links to the Trumpet Mag ...(at the time, the Trumpet's lead story was about the scumbag, Louis Farrakhan and rev. Wright giving him a lifetime acheivement award) from the website, but it was still online. They had removed the great-big photo of Farrakhan, replacing it with generic text. Now Wright is still listed as the pastor, and I could find no links to their controversial rag, the Trumpet. They've taken it off the web, (Sold the address, changed it to a commercial bookstore) But there are traces of it...
the trumpet mag - Google Search
Subtrifuge and deniability, and now, hiding in the shadows after his treasonous/blasphemous outbursts.

Yup, that's the man I want to be my family's spiritual advisor, my beacon of light, the healer of my soul...my mentor and his rogue church.

Anyway, what do you want to bet that Wright's church gets even bigger, with the reperationists and other biggot's of color? Perhaps a name change to oh...I don't know...perhaps the
Church of Reperationists And Panthers. (CRAP)

Don't be too quick to vilifiy Rev Wright and people like Farrakhan guys --- McCain will be cozying up to them soon enough. He used to lump Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson together with Farrakhan as, in his words, "agents of intolerance." Now he is best buds with Jerry and Pat! I doubt he wants to be seen favoring only white agents of intolerance. If he wants to broaden is base, he should embrace some black agents of intolerance too. I'm sure he will, too. Right now he is savoring the sweet sweet taste of Jerry and Pat's intolerant self-righteous white asses on his lips, but once you taste black, you'll never go back!

Curious where those facts came from. Please, by all means...educate me. Links would be fine, but fact-based comments always welcome. Last I heard, Robertson was courting Giuliani, but no word after that. Possibility I'm wrong, but you provided no proof, so am still in doubt.

As far as the Fallwell connection, didn't they politically reconcile in 2006 or so? Regardless, Whom else would the Christian Conservatives back...Obama?. There's only one conservative candidate.

I'm kinda doubting McCain will be after the Farrakhan/Wright alliance. McCain's got better judgement than Obama, and the philosophies of both "reverends" exclude an alliance.

That old race-baiting slogan "once you go black, you never go back" is laughable, reverse-racist and false. Blacks have no more to offer to me, my family or society...than any other race. Each, having their fair share of positives and negatives. To think that because of the color of ones skin, any one race of people is better than another is fallacious.

Before I get any crap about this, I know Jerry Falwell is dead. It's not right to speak ill of the dead, but sometims I wonder if he's sitting with Jesus right now, or if he's broiling in some circle of hell reserved for hypocrits. Not for me to judge, of course. The Christian thing to do is to forgive gross bigotry and hypocrisy such as this garbage Jerry and Pat discussed two days after 9/11:

JERRY FALWELL: The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this.

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, yes.

JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen."

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, I totally concur, and the problem is we have adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government. And so we're responsible as a free society for what the top people do. And, the top people, of course, is the court system.

If you blame the ACLU and the abortionists and the gays and the feminists for something horrible, then people might back away for awhile, but as long as you've got a fat political base, sooner or later someone like McCain will forgive and forget and come to lick your feet. Good job McCain, very Chirstian of you to forgive like that!

But if you blame whites or American society in general for any kind of problems, you are unforgivable. Even Jesus probably wouldn't forgive that kind of thing! Ask Pat Robertson if that kind of thing is forgivable. Jesus talks to him personally all the time and will get a quick answer back to us right away.

The differrence between McCain and Obama on this is that Obama has denounced the preachings of Wright, while McCain is getting tighter with Robertson. McCain went from calling Robertson an "agent of intolerance" to disavowing that statement and cozying up with him. Maybe he is just cold at night and needs a "strange bedfellow," but no hanky-panky, boys, or you'll bring the wrath of God down on us!

McCain had it right the first time --- these assclowns are agents of intolerance. To bad he had to sell out his own principles.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a big difference between the conservative morals taken out of the bible, and a twisted view of current racism taken out of ones ass.

For years, Fallwell had said controversial things. Controversial to those that are gay, are lesbian, are an abortionist. I'm not a politician, but I don't believe for a second that the ACLU has MY liberties in mind, so their thoughts on the matter of morals and bible teachings are irrelevant.

You are, of course, mixing apples and oranges. Were it to be discovered that I belonged to the KKK for 20 years, and it was about to cost me that cushy job, you bet your ass I'd denounce the KKK all the way to the White House.
Robertson takes direct quotes from the bible to point-out the incestuous (Improperly intimate or interconnected) debauchery (extreme indulgence in sensuality) of the groups supporting progressive lifestyles, abortionists and NAMBLA members. (give it a Google) Granted he takes a more conservative stance, and often exaggerates to prove his points more than most TV evangelists, but at least the core message and intent, is from the bible.

If you can't discern the difference between someone truly representing the spirit of the bible, with a black seperatist, anti-american rant, then likely, you telling us what or whom you believe Jesus would forgive is either fallacious or uninformed. (unless you could provide a quote regerding this from Jesus himself)

[medicinal]

Geeze, thumpers. They're all insane. Fallwell, Robertson, Wright, and anyone else that sees the narrow path as salvation or "Hell" is fucking insane. Be kind to your fellow man and be tolerant. "Judge not lest ye be judged'. If God is benevolent, then all is forgiven. Pray to your God and let no man see. The righteous Man goes into the closet to pray. Hey, live and let live.

[Psycho4Bud]

The ACLU? LMAO!!!!!!! Another Dem group that lost their way to the far left.....

I would imagine Obama is proud of these people too.

I find all forms of bigotry despicable, whether they come from the Bible or from out of someone's ass. I'd say McCain was right to throw Robertson and Falwell in with Farrakhan, and I'll throw Wright in with them too. They've all done some good, and they've also all said things that are mind-blowingly bigotted. I have trouble getting past the BS of any of these bigots.

The difference I was making was between Obama on one hand who said he disagrees with the things Wright says, but won't reject someone who is like family. Versus McCain on the other hand who has denounced Robertson in the past but is now unwilling to stand by those criticisms. I don't think Obama gains much by refusing to reject Wright --- obviously it costs him something politcally. So I'm inclined to believe he is remaining loyal to a friend who he disagrees with, even though it hurts him politically. Whereas I don't think McCain actually agrees with or likes Robertson at all --- he's moved toward the bigotted assclown for political gain. So it seems to me Obama is being loyal to a freind, even though it hurts him, while McCain is being hypocritical and selling out his principles for political gain.

So dragonrider, how many times did McCain take his small children into church to listen to hate speeches? BIG difference!
