Newsflash: Jeremiah Wright climbs out from under Obama’s bus

AmeriKKKa is no longer damnable, now that Jeremiah Wright’s old friend is moving into the White House.

Rev. Wright is no doubt working on getting that RAAAACIST name changed.

Via the evil ABC News:

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright may have made his peace with the former parishioner he once suggested turned on him for political gain, President-elect Barack Obama, but in an exclusive interview, he showed he’s still furious with the media, who he called “evil,” and said he’s “not going to kiss anybody’s behind.”

In a sermon today at Howard University’s chapel in Washington, Wright used Obama’s life as an example to show how despite challenges as a nation, the country can build a better future.

“He was able to do what nobody of African decent was ever able to do in the 211-year history of this country. … The Lord stepped into his story and gave him a new attitude,” he said.

It was a completely different scene from Wright’s defiant appearance at the National Press Club in April. Gone was any hint of anger directed at Obama for denouncing his more controversial sermons and statements, which became fodder for Obama’s critics during the presidential campaign.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News following the service, Wright showed some of that same fire when he lashed out at the network for breaking the story of his inflammatory sermons, saying he was “not going to kiss anybody’s behind.”

Wright was visibly angry when speaking about the press, and in particular ABC News, which first presented a “Good Morning America” story about Wright’s sermons.

“It was so unfair to my family and ended up hurting my daughter and it was unconscionable,” he said. “ABC started a mess that was unconscionable.”

ABC didn’t open Wright’s big mouth for him.

    Well, naturally he’s going to whine. It’s a natural reaction for entitlement liberals. But what does he expect? Pro-Islam ABC is more than happy to take shots at Christianity, but I think they were eager to have something they could point to say that not all their coverage of Obama was positive, and Wright was their scapegoat.

    Many who studied the subject believe Liberation Theology began in 1961 when in an unprecedented act, the World Council of Churches (WCC) invited the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) to join the organization. Unknown to the WCC, the ROC was a KGB appendage, staffed by intelligence officers. I know this well because of my experience in Israel and Jerusalem.
    The Soviets took advantage of the invitational opportunity and sent Metropolitan Nikodim (then of Leningrad), the ROC’s second ranking prelate, to the WCC assembly. He espoused a doctrine known as Liberation Theology which was eagerly accepted by Latin American priests and bishops. Its revolutionary philosophy soon became a vehicle for violent change in Latin America as well as Africa and Southeast Asia.

    I’ll bet Obama’s introduction to “Liberation Theology” came even before he met Jeremiah Wright.

    I may only be a lowly former chemist/manager/MBA/analyst, but isn’t ABC supposed to be a serious news organization comprised of well-educated journalists? And shouldn’t the proper English grammar be “whom he called evil”, not “who he called evil”?

    It’s no wonder they can’t their facts straight; they’re too busy editorializing to even worry about their writing skills.

    See the 2nd Commandment of the Obamessiah:

    The Book of The Obamassiah
    Chapter II

    The Commandments of the Obamassiah are nine but this is a living document and changes are made as needed.

    I. Thou shalt not speak the middle name of the Obamassiah. To do so exposes thine as a racist and it shall not be tolerated.

    II. Thou shalt not mention past associations of the Obamassiah. To do so exposes thine as a racist. For despite any recent or current friendship his holiness may have with them, he was only a child when they ran afoul of the law. Or he missed that sermon.

    III. Thou shalt not mention praise of the Obamassiah by murderers and tyrants. To do so exposes thine as a racist, it is a sign that thine has truly lost one’s bearings.

    IV. Thou shalt not mention the schooling of the Obamassiah at any point in his existence. To do so exposes thine as a racist.

    V. Thou shalt not question the Obamassiah more than eight times. To do so exposes thine as a racist. For the time of his holiness is of a value beyond your own.

    VI. Thou shalt not question the past of the Obamassiah family arrival or his birth. To do so exposes thine as a racist. For events in time matter not if they occur differently than his holiness speaks of them. It matters only that you believe.

    VII. Thou shalt not question the words of the Obamassiah’s spouse. For if her words mirror those of the past associations of his holiness then thine is a racist twice over for the mention of them. (see II)

    VIII. The purveyors of words to the people shall cast only praise on the Obamassiah. To turn from this exposes thine as a racist and a soldier of the unbeliever and thine should be cast out and lose any source of livelihood.

    IX. Thou shalt not question the patriotism of the Obamassiah. To do so exposes thine as a racist. For by not displaying any outward love for his land only proves his love for his land.

    I was in a restaurant on Saturday with my 5 year old having breakfast and they had the coronation (oops, I mean inauguration) ceremony on TV. When the choo choo stopped in Wilmington and Obama got off the train, a young black woman got up and started clapping and cheering which was very disruptive to the rest of the diners. Someone shouted to her to “sit down”. She promptly replied “Get used to it baby”. Unfortunately, I think this is what we will have to endure for the next 4 years, and if the republicans don’t show any more cajones than they are currently showing maybe the next 8

    I grew up in a small farming community. From my earliest memories I had never heard a racist remark other than calling the Japanese “Japs”. My teenage social life included Mexican, Indonesian and an assortment of colors from a combination of races. I was isolate in our town and television was not a middle class option. We all seemed to get along. When the media began to broadcast the racial problems in the south the social climate change . Minorities became victims and our lives began to fracture.

    Looking back I now see the importance of the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King but because the MSM and government mandated reverse discrimination laws, our community became racially split. This may have happened regardless of the government. There may have been an undercurrent of social injustice that wasn’t apparent.
    But why the hell is this still going on? Fifty years should be enough time to clear the racial stereotypes out of the system. The only answer I can come up with is that the media just needs a story.
    DAMN THE MSM.

    Yes, you are both correct. The continued bad grammar of the press is getting both worse and more annoying as time goes on. (In fairness to Wright; however, as I criticize him so often, I think the spelling error is a transcription error–he probably did not have or did not provide a copy of the written text to the press.

    Martin Luther Kings accomplishments are important. He did make us all aware of racial problems. My fear is that in the governments attempt to right the historical wrongs, we have lost more than we’ve gained.

    I believe in our Constitution and the protection from government that it gives us. The civil rights movement has distroyed one of the key elements of that protection. That key is STATES RIGHTS. If we attempt to reestablish states rights back into our system we’re now labeled as RACIST. Obama is still using the race card to strengthen the federal government and reduce the power of the states.

    Let me get this straight. This is the man that also:

    1. got rich off of his congregation, giving him a quality of life far, far above his average congregant

    2. cuss, ranted, and sexually gyrated in the pulpit in front of the whole church (including children)

    3. had an affair with another man’s wife

    And now he is worried about family?

    Interesting that on this day of celebrating Martin Luther King Day, we have a real contradiction going on. King said “…judging a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character”. Obama won BECAUSE he was black. All the blacks that usually stay home out of apathy, swarmed to the polls. And as for “content of character”…Obama has no character. That is the big elephant in the room…no one wants to mention that fact. The man has NO character. I am NOT wishing him success in his plans for America.

The man that dreamed no one would be judged by the color of their skin, but by their character has got to be spinning in his grave over this one. Unfortunately the affirmative action president has shown no character just hollow platitudes, which are now turning into out right lies. My wife bought me Anne Coulter’s “Guilty” yesterday and it amazes me how she hit the nail on the head when discribing how we conservatives have been too tolerant of this permanent victim class that loves to play the race card.
