Obama Slams Rev. Wright as "ridiculous"
The black Pat Robertson, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has chosen his path. He has a book coming out in November and in order to achieve a windfall, he is attempting to sacrifice Barack Obama for a little publicity. Probably at the behest of the McCain/Clinton campaign and some big personal donations. Won’t work, but it’s nonetheless pathetic.
Who set up the speaking tour? Not too hard to figure that one out.
Wright has seemingly abandoned the true gospel for the greenback. He saw $$$$$ and that’s all it took to expose him as the typical Money First-Jesus Last Evanganoid freak show he really is.
It’s sad to see a man who has helped so many poor folks in the past turn away from Jesus to worship the shekel. But it happens every day. Pat Robertson (whom Hillary regularly panders to), Falwell, Hinn, Presley, Dobson…enter Jeremiah Wright.
The new Red Faced, Bible Thumping Jesus Pimp extraordinare’.
Bought? Probably. GOP/DLC money? Most likely. Greed motivated? Most definitely.
Barack Obama stood by this clown even at the risk of providing the Right with ammo to use against him. What does Wright do in return? Sacrifice loyalty on the alter of greed.
Perhaps Obama’s rejection of Wright’s radicalism chaffed Wright’s hide just a tad. Well, he’d better buy some cream or some shit because Barack Obama has just thrown the fool under the bus…
From the LA Times:
Yesterday, we saw a very different vision,” Obama said of Wright’s Washington appearance, which at one point he termed a “performance".
He could hardly have distanced himself farther from the man who officiated at his wedding ceremony and baptized his two children.
Obama described himself as “outraged” by many of Wright’s remarks and “saddened” by what he termed “the spectacle of what we saw yesterday.”
He characterized as “ridiculous” Wright’s notion that the AIDS epidemic may have been a conspiracy inflicted on blacks by the federal government and that Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan should be considered a leading voice in modern times.
Such views …
“offend me. They rightly offend all Americans. They should be denounced.”
And in line after line, he did so.
“When I say I find (Wright’s comments) appalling, I mean it,” Obama said.
And during a Q & A with reporters following his statement, Obama came back – unprompted – to Wright’s opinions on AIDS and other matters, calling them “rants that aren’t grounded in truth.”
Make no mistake, Rev. Wright’s mission has always been to fill the coffers. That’s how big churches work. You won’t see any anti-Rich sermons at First Presbyterian, Bristol TN (where I used to attend). That could hurt the cash cow.
Well, Wright knows how to play on Black America’s righteous indignity and get the collection plates filled.
Now he’s taking the rhetoric national.
Sad.
But in the midst of all this, keep these very important facts alive…
1) This is about who is the best candidate to lead the Democratic party against the Repigs in November. Not Jeremiah Wright.
2) This is about ending the war in Iraq. Not Jeremiah Wright.
3) This is about Health Care. Not Jeremiah Wright.
4) This is about restoring the constitution. Not Jeremiah Wright.
5) This is about restoring dignity to the White House and punishing those that have used it to cover their crimes of treason and murder and theft. Not Jeremiah Wright.
6)This is about removing the status quo from our lives forever. Not Jeremiah Wright.
Hillary Clinton cannot stand up against Barack Obama on her own merits. Her worshipers cannot argue any point successfully.
Barack Obama has the courage to repudiate his former preacher. Hillary Clinton has yet to display the courage to condemn her “preacher” Mark Penn. She has not the guts to admit her vote to go to war in Iraq was wrong. She hasn’t had the spine to condemn Blackwater, Geraldine Ferraro, Norman Hsu, NAFTA, Bush’s blank checks, the Patriot Act, the Real ID Act…all things she stands along side the radical Right in approval of. The list of Hillary Clinton’s cowardice goes on forever.
Wright is an idiot. It’s not that he was wrong in complaining about how this country treats it’s own, it’s that he’s sold out what is true for that which is unholy.
He has exposed himself as a just another fringe lunatic for hire to the highest bidder.
Barack Obama has made his point clear. Still focusing on the issues that are harming our nation and what needs to be done to correct them…
