Now that his racist, America-hating pastor Jerimiah Wright is finally in the
spotlight, Barack Obama is making the media rounds denouncing Wright's
controversial statements. However, there's strong evidence that Obama isn't
being exactly truthful in his denunciations.
Back in July, 2007 Jim Davis, a reporter for NewsMax, attended one of
Wright's services. Obama was in the audience:
Presidential candidate Barack Obama preaches on the campaign trail that
America needs a new consensus based on faith and bipartisanship, yet he
continues to attend a controversial Chicago church whose pastor routinely
refers
to "white arrogance" and "the United States of White America."
In fact, Obama was in attendance at the church when these statements were
made on July 22.
. . . Wright's strong sentiments were echoed in the Sunday morning service
attended by NewsMax.
Wright laced into America's establishment, blaming the "white arrogance"
of
America's Caucasian majority for the woes of the world, especially the
oppression suffered by blacks. To underscore the point he refers to the
country
as the "United States of White America." Many in the congregation,
including
Obama, nodded in apparent agreement as these statements were made.
[Emphasis added]
The sermon also addressed the Iraq war, a frequent area of Wright's
fulminations. "Young African-American men," Wright thundered, were "dying
for nothing." The "illegal war," he shouted, was "based on Bush's lies"
and is
being "fought for oil money."
In a sermon filled with profanity, Wright also blamed the war on "Bush
administration bulls--t." Those are the types of statements that have led
to
MSNBC's Tucker Carlson describing Wright as "a full-blown hater."
Barack Obama has attended Wright's sermons for over twenty years. By his own
admission, Obama consults with Wright before making any "bold political
decisions." Obama calls Wright his "spiritual advisor." He calls Wright one
of his prime mentors. Obama got the title of his book, "The Audacity of
Hope," from a Wright sermon of the same name. He says that Wright was
extremely important in shaping his life and his views. Obama and his wife
were married by Rev. Wright. Reverend Wright baptized Obama's daughters.
Barack Obama donated over $20,000 to Wright's church in 2006. He continues
attending services in Wright's church.
In light of these realities, if you believe that Barack Obama doesn't
largely agree with Reverend Wright's world view, I've got a bridge I'd like
to sell you. . .
Update: Obama has denied being in Trinity Church when Wright made the
remarks in question. Jim Davis of NewsMax, standing by his story, says he
was.
