Keep digging, Rev. Wright: Them Zionists

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 11, 2009 04:30 PM

The more Jeremiah Wright opens his mouth, the more he sounds like…well, James Von Brunn. Or vice versa.

Sammy Benoit points to the new “clarification” of Rev. Wright’s “Them Jews” jibe:

Yesterday President Obama’s former religious mentor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said “Them Jews Aren’t Going to Let Him [Obama] Talk To Me” Today he corrected himself. When Interviewed on “Make it Plain” with Mark Thompson, he said I didn’t mean ALL Jews just Zionists.

Ohhhhhhh. Well, that clears things up!

More from Political Punch:

Wright then criticized Israel, saying, “I quote Jews when I say this,” and referencing books by Jewish authors such as “Judaism Does Not Equal Israel: The Rebirth of the Jewish Prophetic” by Marc Ellis and “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” by Ilan Pappe.

“I’m talking about facts, historical facts,” Wright said. “I’m not talking about emotionally charged words or the fact that like Jimmy Carter’s book, that because he used the word that Jews use, ‘apartheid,’ he gets labeled anti-Semitic.”

“They can jump on that one phrase if they want to,” Wright said, “but they can’t, they can’t undo history. They can’t undo the facts of Jewish historians and Jewish theologians who write about what’s going on, who write about the enormous influence that AIPAC has on our government and on United States policy and the United Nations.”

(Wright did not identify who “they” was.)

    Two related things that black culture in this country must overcome someday are its clinging to a cult of victimology and the fact that they have more than their share of anti-Semites.

    As long as they refuse to relinquish these security blankets, they’ll keep holding themselves back.

    The trouble is, a white guy like me will never be able to close that particular sale; and most of those who pass/pose as black “opinion leaders” are wedded to keeping those two characteristics alive.

    “Obama signaled his support for not taking up the ban on assault weapons, but reversed course out of fear of alienating the black community.”

    Why must we tiptoe around the fact that, like many ethnic groups, Jews are well represented and influential in government? Is it too P.C. to insist on not discussing their influence?

    I think it is a safe bet that the superannuated Larry King will rush to Wright’s defense. I expect Wright to appear with the somnolent Larry next week. This is the same thing that Louis Farrakhan did way back in 1984 when he made virulently antiSemitic remarks and wished for a softball interviewer. He found one in Larry King, who was something of a dimwit even in 1984. Farrakahn went on King’s show and fulminated against Jews and repeated his slur that Judaism is “a gutter religion”. He then referred to King as Mr. King. King responded by ignoring the antiSemitic garbage spewing from Farrakhan’s mouth. Instead, King begged Farrakahn: “Please Louis, call me Larry”. I don’t watch King very much (his ratings are somewhere below CSpan 11) and it is possible King already had Wright on for a softball interview. But heck, Wright’s views about Israel are pretty close to what Tom Brokaw believes so maybe King will have Brokaw as a guest.

    Mr. Wright uses the pulpit to promote his own politicial and social agendas. He uses God as a tool to get an audience. Reminds me of other so-called pastors who aren’t interested in helping people live in God’s Will; just interested in power and the corruption it produces. Unfortunately, today and history always had its corrupt ministers in many religions. When you can’t satisfy your lust for control by wining politicial office, become a pastor.

    Because “discussing their influence” isn’t what hateful parasites like Wright (and you) do.

    1) It is always assumed that this “influence” is used not for legitimate policy aims but instead to have the USA work against its own interestes in order to advance those of Israel.

    2) It is never portrayed as American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights, but rather as a group of outsiders (whose loyalties lie elsewhere) manipulating the Government in a deceitful manner for their own purposes.

    And by the way, are you sure you want to be defending Wright on this? According to the Reverend Obama is so spineless and lacking in will that he’ll let some anonymous group of Zionists just pull his strings every which way.

    Why must we tiptoe around the fact that, like many ethnic groups, Jews are well represented and influential in government? Is it too P.C. to insist on not discussing their influence?

    Yes. As soon as you try, you’ll get branded as an anti-semite. It’s sort of the same as being branded a racist if you don’t support Obama, except it’s a different group doing the name calling.

    AIPAC is the biggest lobby in Washington, dedicated to providing special rights only to an exclusive group of people.

    Until we start identifying people only as people instead of members of groups, liberty for all is a lost cause.

    I don’t want to send money to Darfur or Israel. That’s fair.

    F@rrakhan? Wr!ght? Sh@bazz? Things are bad when Sharpton and Jackson aren’t the leading clowns and on the cutting edge of of the shakedown wing or lunatic fringe of the Democrat party.
