Now that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright tapes are out and the public is getting an earful of what Barak Hussein Obama has been hearing for the last 20 years or so, the reaction is very interesting.
If it isn't clear, then that rabid organ of Right Wing Extremism,
Rolling Stone magazine, will help with this, written in February 2007:
The Trinity United Church of Christ, the
church that Barack [Hussein] Obama attends in Chicago .... The church is a leftover vision from the Sixties of what a
black nationalist future might look like. There's the testifying
fervor of the black church, the Afrocentric Bible readings, even
the odd dashiki. And there is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a
sprawling, profane bear of a preacher, a kind of black ministerial
institution, with his own radio shows and guest preaching gigs
across the country. 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 S**T!" (emphasis added)
This is as openly radical a background as any significant American
political figure has ever emerged from ... The senator "affirmed" his Christian faith in this
church; he uses Wright as a "sounding board" to "make sure I'm not
losing myself in the hype and hoopla." Both the title of Obama's
second book, The Audacity of Hope, and the theme for his
keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 come
from Wright's sermons. "If you want to understand where Barack gets
his feeling and rhetoric from," says the Rev. Jim Wallis, a leader
of the religious left, "just look at Jeremiah Wright."
And if that doesn't bring home B. Hussein Obama's radical roots and black nationalist longings, those rabid Rolling Stone conservatives continue:
Obama
could have picked any church — the spare, spiritual places in
Hyde Park, the awesome pomp and procession of the cathedrals
downtown. He could have picked a mosque, for that matter, or even a
synagogue. Obama chose Trinity United. He picked Jeremiah
Wright. Obama writes in his autobiography that on the day he chose
this church, he felt the spirit of black memory and history moving
through Wright, and "felt for the first time how that spirit
carried within it, nascent, incomplete, the possibility of moving
beyond our narrow dreams."
Those who long for "hope", "change" and "unity" have all but ordained Sen. B. H. Obama as the guy who should be the 44th President of these United States. God forbid another Islamo-Nazi attack occurs on American Soil (or anywhere in the world for that matter). Should it happen will "Pres. Obama" hear, "Racism is how this country was founded and how this
country is still run!" and "
GAWD! Has GOT! To be SICK! OF THIS S**T!" from his "spiritual advisor"?
