Why Obama is a LIAR-The Jeremiah Wright Connection
As much as it saddens me, it seems that those who support Obama do so at all costs, are willing to ignore truths placed right before their eyes. Much as groups like La Raza does against those that speak up against illegal aliens, Obama followers seem quick to jump into any thread that paints Obama in a negative light and play the race card, accusing us of some sinister agenda against a black man, accusing us of carrying out some evil agenda of either Hillary Clinton or John McCain and the Republican Right. Watching the news I am disturbed that black political pundits are suggesting Obama's disturbing connections to Jeremiah Wright should be allowed to die a natural death, even suggesting that we as "White People" are hearing things wrong, do not understand the "Black Perspective." Funny, do not remember the Al Sharpton's and Jesse Jackson's of the world letting charges of white hate speech dying until after the offending party had lost their career.
Close your eyes, or pretend you do not know the ethnic origins of the parties involved in this brewing scandal that could take down Obama, potentially end not just his run for the Presidency, but his political career. If you heard Reverend Jeremiah Wright's words, read them on a printed page, are they hate speech? It is a simple yes or no question, and if you answer yes, then should Reverend Wright, Senator Obama be held to the same standards of accountability that we hold our white politicians to? Do a cursory search of the internet, and there are numerous examples of fallen politicians, run out of our nation's capital for far less offensive speech than we are hearing from the Reverend Wright's lips.
Senator George Allen (R) was being pegged as the likely Republican Nominee to replace George W. Bush, and then he had his Macaca Moment of shame. What about Trent Lott as another example, or Imus and his ill placed nappy headed whore remarks? None of these should be condoned, but neither can we have a double standard because the politician is black. Some will say Jeremiah Wright's words are not those of Obama, and this much is true...but, Obama has embraced both the comments and the man, then turned around and lied about it, hoping it will all just go away. It is at this point that the Obamaniacs start their howling, accuse me of being on a witchhunt, suggest I am out to ruin his career, even claim what I say is not true.
Time out, lets examine some FACTS. Obama claims that he wants to be a Uniter, wants America and its citizens to come together as one to solve our problems. Why then does he attend a church that has a long standing reputation as being a boiling cauldron of devision falling along racial lines? Reverend Jeremiah Wright was a controversial man long before Obama credited him as being the man who showed him Jesus, credited him with being "my spiritual mentor", long before Barrack Obama wrote his book based on a Wright sermon, "The Audacity of Hope". These realities, known facts easy to find show that Obama lies when he claims he was unaware of the controversy, unaware of Jereimiah Wright's bigoted, racist hate filled speech.
As example, a regular part of the bread of life spewed forth from Wright's pulpit of hate are expressions like, "white arrogance" and "the United States of White America." Not exactly phrases that fit in with Barack Obama's message of consensus based upon a platform of shared faith combined with bipartisanship in government. More importantly, we know Obama has been in the pews when certain hate speech was delivered, such as on July 22, 2007 when both of the above phrases were peppered at the audience. Perhaps Obama should have taken a cue from Oprah, once a congregant, who distanced herself from both the church and the man.
