Obama's Pastor: 'Hillary ain't never been called a nigger.' (Updated)
In an extraordinary video recording of Barack Obama's pastor - leader of a church that the candidate says he consciously chose after a long search - the Reverend Jeremiah Wright lets loose with some of the most nauseating racist comments directed against whites imaginable:
During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama’s upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans.He begins with reference to the Romans, who crucified Jesus, as Italians, and thus white. The rest of the video can charitably called "racially confrontational."
“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,” Wright said. “Hillary would never know that. “Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”
In his Jan. 13 sermon, Wright said:
“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.”
Obama makes no effort to hide his admiration for Reverend Wright, going so far as to take the title of his book - "Audacity of Hope" - from one of the reverend's sermons. And he has never disavowed his relationship with Wright, only saying he disagrees with "some" of his statements.
Perhaps it's time for this so-called "uniter" to cut his ties with such a rank racist.
UPDATE
Ed Lasky sends this along:
ABC's Brian Ross offered a report on "Good Morning America" on Thursday looking at the controversial views of Obama's longtime pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Among the comments captured on video: "God damn America for treating its citizens as less than human." Sprinkle in a reference to the "US of KKK A," and a suggestion that the nation invited 9/11: "America's chickens are coming home to roost."
Barack Obama: he talks about Wright's work on South Africa and other related issues-hey would that be condemning Israel for its ties with S. Africa and calls for disvestment from Israel..a la the divestment campaign involving South Africa? Comparing Israel's treatment of Palestinians to apartheid? Barack Obama's "sounding board", "moral compass". "mentor", and "spiritual inspiration" for over 20 years and whose church has been Barack Obama's number one recipient of charitable donations (gee...maybe that is why Wright drives a Porsche), the man who married him and baprtized his two daughters. Or is that guilt by association?
BTW - the IRS is looking into Wright's advocacy for Obama from the pulpit to see if it violates campaign laws regarding non-profit groups promoting a partisan view. Several conservative Christian pastors have been caught up in these investigations by the IRS and have been forced to halt their activities.
