Unless you do not watch the evening news and never give in to the
temptation of allowing your channel surfing to linger for more than a
couple of seconds on one of the cable television news shows, it's pretty
safe to assume you've heard (and seen) as much as you need (or want)
to know about Senator Barack Obama's pastor, friend, and spiritual
advisor of some 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Wright's hate-filled
attacks on white America are as radical as they come (a sort of reverse
KKK, if you will).
For those of you who haven't a clue, Rev. Wright married the Osama's,
he baptized their two daughters, and is, by Obama's own admission,
"close" to the presidential hopeful. Obama's claim to fame, his stirring
2004 keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention, was
based on one of Wright's sermons titled, "Audacity To Hope". Obama's
second book, The Audacity Of Hope, draws from the same. Obama
prayed with Wright just before announcing his candidacy and sought
his counsel as he considered running. Obama has attended Chicago's
Trinity United Church of Christ for approximately 20 years. It is
there, under Wright's tutelage, Obama "affirmed" his Christian faith.
A media firestorm has broken out and dozens of clips of Wright's hate-filled
rhetoric have been aired since the first of March. After viewing just two or
three of the dozens of clips that are being aired of Wright spewing, from the
pulpit no less, his highly inflammatory, anti-white, anti-Semitic, and yes,
even anti-American dogma, it is impossible to think of Jeremiah Wright
without calling to mind others of his ilk, say......Adolph Hitler. Osama bin
Laden. Saddam Hussein. Pol Pot. Muammar Qaddafi. Whites have been
referred to by Rev. Wright as "blue-eyed devils" and "the anti-Christ".
Jews he has called "blood-suckers". His rant about 9/11 suggested we
had it coming, citing reasons that included Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Suggests "we", meaning white Americans, did not bat an eye when
pushing the buttons that released the bombs that initiated the nuclear
age.
Senator Obama's close ties to the hate-monger are frightening for so
many reasons, but it is Obama's own words, his explanation to a Fox
News correspondent, that in this American's opinion, should serve as
the most potent eye-opener of all. The junior Illinois senator's explan-
ation for his long-term and close association with Jeremiah Wright is
this: he didn't know. He didn't know his spiritual advisor held such
views. Didn't know Wright has repeatedly heaped hatred on white
Americans. Didn't know that the man who married him, who baptized
his little girls, and most importantly of all, the man who led him to Christ,
also sought to inflame blacks against whites. Obama denies realizing
any of it after 20 long years. He puts it all down to ignorance.
'ig-nor-ant; adj. LACKING KNOWLEDGE:
UNEDUCATED. UNAWARE. UNINFORMED.
SHOWING LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OR INTEL-
LIGENCE.
If that is the case, what might Barack Obama overlook if he is elected
to our nation's highest post? Twenty years and he never took the time
to determine whether or not the rumblings of criticism that have long
been heaped upon the man who is his spiritual advisor had basis in fact?
We're supposed to accept that and elect him as Commander-In-Chief?
If he was that unconcerned with his spiritual life, what does that say
about him?
Is Sen. Obama's moderate stance just put-on? Is he claiming ignorance
in an attempt to deceive the voting public now that the cat is truly out
of the bag, or is he just plain stupid? If he is successful in duping the
American public into putting him in the White House, well, shame on
us for being just as ignorant.

Hear! Hear! I don't think that it could be put much better than that. I just wish that more people would take the time to look behind the veil of the "Presidential Hopeful" persona, to see who he really is. Of course, if we did that for every candidate we might never vote for a president!
I'm a Hillary supporter but I like Barack and think either would make a fine president. I am not ignorant, I mean I'm well-educated, I've lived and traveled all over the world and think that most of this discourse is created out of fear. Obama's speech was targeted to the 'liberal elite' although I certainly don't feel elitist in anyway. But he did speak to me, not all of the US, obviously, but he did move me. I would hope that the rest of the nation could let go of their hatred, bias, etc...and sure, if Rev. Wright feels negatively towards whites, I say to him, "Sir, please read my book 'Expat Cats' because the message is love, tolerance and acceptance." And this country sure could use a big dose of that during this time of great peril.
