Obama's Pictures........are coming home to roost

The good Reverend is doing everything he can to sabotage Obama's candidacy.

Boring is more like it.

What's an Akiba?

The Legacy Lives On...
Is the caption at the bottom.

there is no shock value...Obama is clear as a bell.

What was it that a poster much wittier than I said?:

"I did not have spiritual relations with that Pastor"

That is unfair. It's not like he was a member of that cult, err I mean church for 21 years. It only 20 years. And how does that help his kids anyway you racist bastard you.

It looks like the cast of Fat Albert

Gonna be hard for him to distance himself from this...

What's an Akiba?

An Akiba is a famous Rabbi--Rabbi Akiba--who lived during the period of the Second Jewish Revolt against the Romans, and was martyred by them.

If you mean "what do Reverend Wright and his clowns mean by 'an Akiba'?" that is a more difficult question to answer. From the context it looks like they mean it to refer to some sort of gift shop--and have appropriated an exotic-sounding word to give it gloss, much as black-supremacist Marxist Ron Karenga appropriated the seven-branched menorah and called it a "Kinara" to give gloss to the bogus Kwanzaa festival.

I think the guy with the cap is Black Panther leader H. Rap Brown.

More Outrageous Talk from a Minister at Barack Obama's Church, and it's Not Reverend Wright

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright may have stepped down as pastor, but the Trinity United Church of Christ may continue to haunt Barack Obama.

Newsmax reports the new Senior Pastor, Otis Moss, has called biblical patriarch Abraham a pimp, said Noah and Moses were thugs and said Jesus had a "soft spot for thugs." Moss has also praised late rapper Tupac Shakur as a prophet despite his profanity-laced lyrics that glorify violence and a criminal record including assault and sexual abuse.

Cybercast News reports another pastor as the church, reverend Reginald Williams, has written in the church bulletin that the Pentagon trains Latin Americans to become terrorists and the major TV networks are run by right wing racists who see blacks as subhuman.

The Obama campaign has not yet responded to our request for a comment.

re: #38 Charles

I think this demonstrates that the Trinity UCC is Christian in NAME ONLY...

Rabbi Akiba ben Joseph (approx. 15-135 C.E.)

A poor, semi-literate shepherd, Rabbi Akiba became one of Judaism's greatest scholars. He developed the exegetical method of the Mishnah, linking each traditional practice to a basis in the biblical text, and systematized the material that later became the Mishnah.

Rabbi Akiba was active in the Bar Kokhba rebellion against Rome. He believed that Bar Kokhba was the Moshiach (messiah), though some other rabbis openly ridiculed him for that belief (the Talmud records another rabbi as saying, "Akiba, grass will grow in your cheeks and still the son of David will not have come.") When the Bar Kokhba rebellion failed, Rabbi Akiba was taken by the Roman authorities and tortured to death.
Many Jewish schools and academies named after him, as well as an area of study

DOUBLE TAG! HOOOAHHHH!

I don't think that's H. Rap Brown... I'm pretty sure that's Huggy Bear.

Obama's denials that he knew anything about the racial and political tilt of Trinity are refuted by the affirmation that all members recite when a new member first comes to the church. They are refuted by the material that appeared in the Wright magazine. They are refuted by tapes of sermons that have been obtained. They are refuted by the words of Wright himself. Theyare refuted by the reputation that Trinity had acquired by the time Obama joined it.

It is very important to understand that Obama is and has been lying throughout his changing stories of his relationship with Rev. Wright, about what he knew and when, because that goes to the heart of the question about Obama's character, and integrity, and basic honesty.

The fact that Obama brought his children to Wright's church, to be indoctrinated in the hatred that Wright spewed, makes me wonder about Obama's basic judgment. Why did he subject his children to such racist and anti-American ravings if he strongly disagreed with them? And if he did not really strongly disagree with those ravings, then that tells us a great deal about Obama's core beliefs.

It is also disturbing that the Obama campaign and the Obamites are trying to delegitimize any investigation or any study or any discussion or consideration of these telling associations that Obama had: with Wright, with the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, with the fixer Tony Rezko. As Juan Williams pointed out, if you want to inquire about these things that Obama would rather hide, then you are a "racist pig" (Juan Williams said sarcastically).

I can't recall with specificity what either of them looked like--though I recollect that Cleaver was beefy, while H. Rap Brown was kind of on the skinny side. Both had a lot of face-fringe--but practically everyone did, in the Sixties. Cleaver's face was reproduced in the Sixties-era copies of his prison memoir Soul on Ice; H. Rap Brown was more famous for posing for THE Black Panther poster. Brown was seated in a wicker peacock chair, with (if I recall) a zebra-skin rug, holding an automatic weapon and a spear, with a black beret on his head.

You can probably find both the poster and Soul on Ice on ebay, if you want to.

People should, by the way, read David Horowitz's recollections of the Black Panthers and their murderous ways. Horowitz, as one of the publishers of the radical magazine Ramparts, was very involved with the Panthers in their glory days of the late '60s.

Of course he does. He takes all of us for fools. His campaign has made no bones about that, and I'm not holding my breath for him to.

What is truly stunning to me (and not necessarily just about Obama), is how the mainstream media deals with candidates that fit their world view. Obama - on Jeremiah Wright alone - has gone through so many iterations of the nature of his relationships that it is mind boggling. Yet, instead of the MSM collectively saying: "wait, what the hell did he just say?" they sit around and have pundits on who dole out advice as to what he should say next to make things go away (or "down the memory hole, if you prefer).

How anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, can not see this plain as though it were punching them in the face is completely beyond me. And the KosKids think the media has a conservative bias. HAHAHAHA!

Obama wants to play footsies with Ahmadinejad.
McCain wants to play footsies with AlGore.

In Chicago, the outstanding leader of the Panthers local, Fred Hampton, leads five different breakfast programs on the West Side, helps create a free medical center, and initiates a door to door program of health services which test for sickle cell anemia, and encourage blood drives for the Cook County Hospital. The Chicago party also begins reaching out to local gangs to clean up their acts, get them away from crime and bring them into the class war. The Parties efforts meet wide success, and Hampton's audiences and organised contingent grow by the day. On December 4th, at 4:00 a.m. in the morning, thanks to information from an FBI informant , Chicago police raid the Panthers' Chicago apartment, murdering Fred Hampton while he sleeps in bed. He is shot twice in the head, once in the arm and shoulder; while three other people sleeping in the same bed escape unharmed. Mark Clark, sleeping in the living room chair, is also murdered while asleep. Hampton's wife, carrying child for 8 months, is also shot, but survives. Four panthers sleeping in the apartment are wounded, while one other escapes injury . Fred Hampton was 21 years old when he was executed, Mark was 17 years old. According to the findings of the federal grand jury, Ninety bullets were fired inside the apartment. 1 came from a Panther — Mark — who slept with a shotgun in his hand. All surviving Panther members were arrested for "attempted murder of the police and aggravated assault".

I think it is well past time that the story you tell above, which is the Panther party line, was revisited.

Yes, Hampton and Clark were killed. But the history of the Panthers--and of Chicago's black gangs on the South and West Sides--suggests that all of the "free medical center, health services, blood drive" stuff is about as convincing as the "social services" provided by Hamas.

Well, Ulysses S Grant was a drunken sop. But he was a good general.

Good point, but a lot of candidates have been drunks. Teddy K comes to mind right off the top of my head, and given how his presidency went, I have to imagine that Carter spent most of his four years guzzling Billy Beer. I'm talking more about someone who made very hateful comments openly, as Obama has; who was friends with very hateful, radical people, as Obama is; or someone who was so completely devoid of anything resembling substance as Obama is (

re: #149 buzzsawmonkey

"Sot," I think.

A sot is a drunkard. A sop is what you throw to a dog to keep him quiet.

When Grant's drinking problem was reported to President Lincoln, he said "Whatever his favorite brand of whisky is, send a case of it to all of my other generals."

tremendous determination

great simplicity and calmness.

Also, that in a crisis, everyone would instinctively lean on Grant.

Burma update, by e-mail, from some missionaries inside the country:

We received some VERY good news today. The three missionaries...that hadn't been heard from - contacted our people in Yangon and they are all alive! I was so thankful when I read the e-mail today that I cried. We really weren't optimistic since they were from that Irrawaddy Division - the area where there was such total devastation. Their homes and the church building we built down there are completely gone. So two of our leaders got on the bus and went down there with some food and other help for them. Today [it was] reported on the news that the authorities in Burma are not letting any foreigners in that area - not even doctors or relief workers of any kind. There is also a report that the high nutrition biscuits and other food that have been sent from the UN were confiscated by the military and they are instead giving the people spoiled, black moldy, salt water soaked rice and some cheap cookies that have been made in the country that are of no real nutritional value. We are not shocked by any of this - it is par for the course for what we have seen in the past.

[A]t one of the Bible schools that we work with over there...three of their four buildings were completely destroyed. The one cement building is still standing... They were supposed to start their school year again (it is now their summer vacation, thankfully) on June 1 but...this will be impossible. And most of their school library has been destroyed because the books were either soaked or blown away. They said that carpenters (when you can actually find one available) are charging two times the normal rate for wages and building materials have also sky rocketed...things are pretty desperate...

When Hillary wins a state, it's a symbolic victory.

Not only a victory, but a landslide victory!

But the Obamites and their friends in the media and others call it symbolic because the fix is already in : the superdelegates are going to vote for Obama even though Hillary will likely win the popular vote of the Dem primaries, when all the voting is done.

They have received over six hundred thousand dollars from Obama -- actually more than 3.5 times what they received from Hillary -- and they expect to get a lot more by backing Obama. So the fix is in, and the superdelegates are going to vote for Obama, and give him the Dem nomination. No matter if Hillary wins the popular vote. The fix is in.

I don't think there's a lot of loyalty that far down. The people voted in Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and would support her re-instatement. I think if they had a hope supported by the US the people of Burma could handle things if the thugs got what's coming to them.

I don't know if anyone's said this yet, but what really irritates me is the simple fact that Rev. Wright has a magazine.

I don't know how any of you aren't getting red in the fact over just that. I've got talented, thoughtful friends galore who can write, introduce people to the best of the past and the best of present arts and commentary, and none of us would be published if it weren't for blogs, i.e. free self-publishing.

But if we had a gospel of hate, hahahahaha we'd be celebrities and treated well-enough by most in America to be considered influential. People would read us and even pay us money to hear our views.

It seems it is making a statement of whose footsteps TUCC seeks to walk in. Notable to me for this 'church bulletin' - I don't recognize any prominent Christians.

I could be wrong, because I don't know some of these faces, but I have moved in Christian circles for 50 years and I would think I would recognize someone.

Wright is the foremost acolyte of James Cone's "black liberation theology," which puts politics at the center of religion. Wright himself is explicit:

[T]here was no separation Biblically and historically and there is no separation contemporaneously between 'religion and politics.' . . . The Word of God has everything to do with racism, sexism, militarism, social justice and the world in which we live daily.

No separation between religion and politics. I've heard of that concept. If he were he around today, Jefferson would have some things to say about it.
