Well luckily for Obama, he knows the race-baiting, childish anger to put these statements in the proper context. See folks? It's all ok.

Seriously, thanks again for that.

At least some of us understand why Obama doesn't wear a flag emblem on his suit coat why he doesn't pledge allegiance to the flag.

It's all I've seen and I, for one, am not shocked. Disgusted, but definitely not shocked.

So let me get this straight -this quote is cleverly worded- Obama is saying that he knew about the statements but they don't represent the entirety of the good pastor's message? So that makes it okay that he listened to this hate laced, race baiting, bilge every Sunday for twenty years with nary a complaint?! We just don't know enough about Pastor Wright and his "church?"

In BHO's he quotes Wright trashing "the white man" and specifically mentions it as one of the attractions of Rev. Wright.

Charles - "they don’t even tell the reader what Barack Obama’s pastor actually said" and, of course, they completely ignored the long and very CLOSE relationship Barrack Hussein Obama has had with the Racist Rev and the fact that, according to Obama's 2006 tax return, he gave the Racist Rev $22,500.00 either.
Don't know why I'm continually surprised by the venal nature of the media.

Just more 'refined' for the populous' palate.

Go try and be president in some country you don't hate.

BINGO !

Bambi's talking like a lawyer all of a sudden.
If I had repeatedly heard such statements from my pastor...
Oh?
Is that what he'd have had to do before you might have become uncomfortable enough to leave that church?
So, if he peppered his "Jesus" and "family" talk with this all these years that was OK?
The truth is Obama's pastor was his conduit for millions in federal and state monies to community projects that Obama could put his name on.
They used one another.
And the media loves it.
I hope he is the candidate just so McCain can shred him.

And burning crosses on lawns are "inflammatory" too, I suppose.

re: #55 Daisy

re: #58 Ojoe

Score one for Daisy

Obama said he wasn't there when these hate filled sermons were given. I call 24 hour rule and lets find out. My guess is he was there along with his wife. It easily explains some of her comments.

On Anderson Cooper, Obama had this exchange:

COOPER: Did you not know, though, that, I mean, a couple days after 9/11, he said, you know, this was America's chickens coming home to roost, a result of what he called American terrorism around the world?

(CROSSTALK)

COOPER: I mean, you may not have been there, but have you -- you must have heard that he had said these things.

OBAMA: You know, I confess that I did not hear about this until -- until I started running for president.

And then there was a story that was issued in which I strongly objected to these statements and condemned them. But what I also understood that was -- was Reverend Wright was on the verge of retirement and that a new pastor was coming in. The church family was one that was very important to me. It's where my wife and I got married. It's where our children were baptized. And, so, my belief was that this was something out of the ordinary. Obviously, some of these statements indicate that this was happening more frequently.

But I also want to say this, Anderson. This is somebody who was a former U.S. Marine, who is a biblical scholar, who's preached and taught at theological seminaries all across the country, and has had a reputation as a preeminent preacher in the country.

And, so, I have to strongly condemn the statements that were made. They do not reflect my views or Michelle's views, or probably the views of many people in the church.

On the other hand, you know, Reverend Wright is somebody who is like an uncle or a family member who you may strongly object to what they have to say, but, as he's about to retire, I have no intention of leaving the church itself.

COOPER: But, I mean, uncles are blood relatives who you're kind of stuck with at family gatherings, even when they say outrageous things. You can't get rid of them.

You can walk out of a church. You can walk go up to a pastor and say, this is wrong.

(CROSSTALK)

OBAMA: And, as I said, Anderson, if I had heard any of those statements, I probably would have walked up, and I probably would have told Reverend Wright that they were wrong.

But they were not statements that I heard when I was in church.

COOPER: So, no one in the church ever said to you, man, last week, you missed this sermon; Reverend Wright said this; or...

OBAMA: No.

COOPER: I mean, I think I read in your books that you listened to tapes of Reverend Wright when you were at Harvard Law School.

OBAMA: I did.

COOPER: So, you had no idea?

OBAMA: I understand.

I did not. Well, I want to be clear that, when I ran for president, some of these statements started surfacing.

COOPER: Right.

OBAMA: And, at that point, I was very concerned about it. I had conversations with Reverend Wright about it. And I put out statements indicating that these were not my beliefs. But, as I said before, he was on the verge of retirement. He's preached his last sermon. He will be no longer a pastor at the end of March 31. And, so, our belief was that the most appropriate way to handle it was to be very clear about my strong condemnation of the statements, but to continue to be a part of the church.

Obama probably would have said something if he knew of such sentiments, and this after only 20 years of being a member of that so-called church. Just the kind of decisiveness I want in a C-in-C. And to continue to stick around in that church? What is he going to do, reform it? Or continue to pay his tithe to allow such stupidity passing as a religion to continue to proselytize its message?

I think Obama should take up acting.
I see nothing!

I would be shocked to hear that too, if I heard it...but for 20 yrs you never heard that, Obama, it is just stretching it...

And AP, we are following you...you are NOT getting away from this...

re: #46 Thanos

If this was an M. Night Shyamalan film we'd all think Obama was the Manchurian Candidate only to find out he was a closet Republican who in his heart hated such racist rhetoric and supported the troops in Iraq with all his heart.

Then we'd find out that terrorists are allergic to water.

And we're all in a state park.

But they did NOT hold back on McCain regarding Pastor Hagee...and Pastor Hagee LOVES America. In fact, they pursued McCain on that issue until he disavowed Pastor Hagee...

Hatred and Revenge seem to be a motivational theme that Obama's wife and pastor share alike.

If that is what Obama is attracted to and affiliates with, I have to wonder what is his motivation for running for President.

Yes, they will stop at nothing to keep the black man out of power and from his rightful job of cracker-cide. That's why they spread the rumors about Obama. They say he's inexperienced and he'll be a disaster. That's not an argument against him, because America deserves a disaster! So they try to say he's secretly a Muslim. Again, that's not an argument against him, because maybe he should be a Muslim. They're doing God's work: Blowing up the honkeys and the Jews. So the only reason that all those crackers oppose Obama is that they know he's going to succeed at what he promises: Killing the honkeys!

McCain could say he did not have his hearing aid on when the pastor was spewing out his vile hate filled "sermon". I wonder what Obama was doing when the Rev. Wright was vomiting out his version of "BLACK Christianity"? Sen. Obama is claiming he did not know about any of this until just recently...I wonder how the AP, CNN, NYT et al will "whitewash" this once it becomes apparent Obama knew EXACTLY what Rev. Wright was saying all these years and did nothing to distance himself until it became a political liability? I can hardly wait to see the twisted and contorted rationalizations they will use to make this a "non issue".

re: #71 jaunte Yep, you're right about that. When you read 'em, his statements are, or were to me, shockingly impolitic for a man running for President.
I think Americans will take a lot of talk from their politicans as just that - talk.

From what I've read the Wright hater was to retire In June...However, after airing the "I hate America" "sermon", Wright has now (I believe) "resigned." But, then again, is anything to be trusted by these folks? there's a tendency of saying one thing and doing another. The "resignation" could all be for the benefit of PR.

re: #74 doriangrey With all due respect, there's no doubt at all that Nash, Crosby and Young are moonbats of the first order.
But I know from firsthand experience how much Stills did to try to help us Vietnam Veterans when the war was over.
And except for "Daylight Again" (which used to be "Find The Cost of Freedom" and was always the last song that CSN sang at any concert), all the songs Stills performed (TreeTop Flyer among others) that remotely said something nice about our Vets were songs in which Crosby and Nash didn't perform - they were, I guess, taking a breather.
And, as is true of so many musicians and singer/songwriters from that era, even if Stills IS a moonbat, he's still a hell of a guitarist and songwriter. Listen to him and Herbie Hancock on Stills last album. The dude can PLAY.

The more often I see wealthy spoiled celebrities display themselves to be imbeciles the more awestruck I am that the few like Ted Nugent and Gene Simmons are sane and rational. How the hell did that happen?

Yes, Gene's primarily a political Libertarian, from what I understand (big free-market capitalism guy) -- but he's also vehemently patriotic and voted for George W. Bush because of his stance towards the Middle East.

re: #84 VegasRick

Obama is a f**king liar.

LOL! Of course he is, moreso than the average politician. (Well except for the likes of a John Kerry, who lied about his magic Christmas in Cambodia hat and his purple hearts to make himself a war hero and anti-war dissident.) Obama lied about his life in his work of fiction, "The Audacity of Hope." He has a small portion of African black geneology, but it was they who did not approve of his white mother. But that's the side of his family 'history' with which he identifies. Coupled with the 'message' of his church, speaks volumes.

Once I suspend all disbelief, I buy every word that comes from Barry (redacted) Obama!

Obama is the pied piper to the disenchanted children of our society, including so many in the media. They want to go away to happy fantasy-land and Obama is more than happy to oblige their childish hopes.

The more he is exposed for the fraud he is, the more his followers must close ranks to keep the pretty sound of harmony intact.

These sleepy eyed children have been gathering momentum for many years now, hoping to seize the power to make the icky noise (including you and I having a discussion) stop.

As our standards continue to decline these Peter Pans more and more inundate our institutions and rise to positions of authority (the unquestionable kind).

We can only hope that the center does not fall prey to this cynical demagogue and his vacuous vision.

I heard the statements that others just don't "understand the Black church."
So then this a regular part of it? Or is it an aberration? You can't have it both ways.

And, if Sen O was planning to run for President from Kindergarten on, he should have been more careful what institutions he joined and supported.
We can't take a chance with a President who counts "GD America" as an acceptable sentiment from a mentor. Notice how Sen O's vaunted oratory skills failed him when it came to reassuring us about his fundamental dedication to this country. Of which he wants to be President.

Other incendiary pastors have been linked with candidates as a response to this. These may be despicable bigots; and candidates should repudiate them.

But these folks never cursed America. America is all of us, right?

re: #113 realwest

With all due respect, there's no doubt at all that Nash, Crosby and Young are moonbats of the first order.
But I know from firsthand experience how much Stills did to try to help us Vietnam Veterans when the war was over.
And except for "Daylight Again" (which used to be "Find The Cost of Freedom" and was always the last song that CSN sang at any concert), all the songs Stills performed (TreeTop Flyer among others) that remotely said something nice about our Vets were songs in which Crosby and Nash didn't perform - they were, I guess, taking a breather.
And, as is true of so many musicians and singer/songwriters from that era, even if Stills IS a moonbat, he's still a hell of a guitarist and songwriter. Listen to him and Herbie Hancock on Stills last album. The dude can PLAY.

Never said or suggested that he wasn't a great musician...

inflamatory speech...sounds like a job for preparation H

It seems that when liberals say racist and anti-semitic things, it is considered to be "inflammatory", but excusable. If a republican says anything at all regarding race it is "racist" or "hate speech" or "bigoted" according to the MSM. I never especially liked Trent Lott but consider the way that he was railroaded out of power for simply praising Strom Thurmond. He did not even say that he agreed with his positions on segregation but it was enough to start a shitstorm in the MSM.

The MSM is so deep in the tank for progressives that they will downplay extra-marital affairs, lying, corruption, bribery, and even murder (in the case of Fat Teddy) in order to cover for them. It is sickening how they can do that and still claim to be impartial news organizations. Thank God for the new media!

Jeremiah Wright, spiritual adviser. How ridiculous is that. He's just David Duke with a tan.

re: #120 RickZ

You know, even the title of that book -- "The Audacity of Hope" -- what kind of lying tripe is that all about? "Hope" for what exactly? More 9/11's? More "Death to Americans?" Is that the "audacious" "hope" the Obamanation prays for? (Is it the so-called Christian equivalent of the Islamist "hope"? yeah, well, that's "audacious" all right..)

I talked to the Lubbock area's top liberal activist yesterday. He had not even heard of the Wright uproar and asked me if it had been in the mainstream media at all or was just a product of blogger hysteria. I think he was telling the truth.

re: #125 RickZ

You're welcome. The Truth about Obama shall keep us Free.

A silly thing like the truth won't stop the believers.

Reinsert Me!

Ignorance is bliss, in any language.

God Damn America.. HIV is a plot to kill black people by the CIA.. 9/11 is a Bush plot to attack Islam.. and many more..

/all great liberal positions ..widely accepted as part of BDS.. so what they are really talking about is that the unwashed of America have heard it without the proper liberal media bias being inserted first.

This has been all over Fox News Sunday morning. People are just so disappointed. Obama is was the candidate of HOPE and CHANGE. Even if Obama really didn't hear Wright's statements Obama would have known The Mission Statement of his Church. You would think. He and his wife gave thousands of dollars to this church which means they wanted to advance its message. This quote from Trinity Church website:

[Link: www.tucc.org...]
The fortunate who are among us combine forces with the less fortunate to become agents of change for God who is not pleased with America’s economic mal-distribution!

So God is not pleased with American economic mal-distribution? Just what economic distribution method does Obama favor? CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. Wright was correct about one thing, the roosters are coming home to roost.
People are not as gullible as they seem. People are deeply concerned that Obama's true feelings about our country really are like what his wife Michele has expressed: no pride in America. No reason to be proud. He wouldn't stand up to his pastor, and he won't stand up for America. I don't think he stands up to his wife, either, who is the real America hater and thanks to her, we have a keen insight into the true beliefs of the Obama family.

“If all I knew were those statements I saw on television, I would be shocked,” Obama said.

Harvard techniques in action.

Wright is a flaming, angry bigot, plain from the moment he opens his mouth. His self-concious choice of clothes advertises that he rejects his culture in favor of something else - he's not comfortable with what he is. He's got a Bible planted on his pulpit, just for show, because he's reading off a text he's composed that is in complete opposition to the Word of God. That so-called church is full of people who like what they hear. Those who came, innocently brought in by enthusiastic reviews and were apalled NEVER WENT BACK.
Must be a lot of fun mixing with that jacked up, pissed off congregation during coffee and donuts afterwards.
That's a nice building by the way. Judging by its size and facilities -paid for by church member collections, that group in the aggregate ISN'T POOR. It's a stage for Wright himself, all to focus on him, NOT the Lord God Almighty.
This is called charismatic leadership - leadership by force of personality. "Pastor" Wright captivates by the force of his own ego:
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers who tell them what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-5

A reality and sobering check: Many congregations are lost, not just this one. This is just one permutation that appeals to that particular group of people, the ones who return each week to get more. Other people, no matter what color, fall for other myths. What traps one may not be the trap that snares another.
Obama seems to have no American identity - a man of the moment - raised without strong ties to family or roots, a man more comfortable in the international bureaucracy class, which is full of people like him. He's New Class, well-educated, monied with no deep convictions of loyalty.

What a choice from the Democrats, two - Obama and Hillary -horribly wrong candidates for the presidency, for what they are doing is coveting it, a sin: "Thou shalt not covet anything of thine neighbor."
Great presidents put their own desires aside for the good of the NATION.

re: #103 Roger

“(Obama's speech on faith) may be the most important pronouncement by a Democrat on faith and politics since John F. Kennedy's Houston speech in 1960 declaring his independence from the Vatican...Obama offers the first faith testimony I have heard from any politician that speaks honestly about the uncertainties of belief.”

— E.J. Dionne, Op-Ed., Washington Post, June 30, 2006

Obviously this qualifies him for what exactly?.

Apparently he's now more qualified to be compared to JFK ... that says a lot to the Left who are waiting for a charismatic to unite them in happy happy hope.

But the tune is just a little different this time, they want unity as happy morally superior globalists not tainted with the history of unadulturated evil that is the USA.

About 6 years ago in my very Liberal little coastal California town, I developed a survey which asked (among other things) "Which historical figure(s) do you most respect?" Remarkably most respondents answered "no one" and those who did have someone in mind selected MLK, jr.

BO has been long in the making, a product of decades of historical deconstruction, Marxist influence, white guilt, and the youthful pretense to moral authority cultivated a radicalized academe.

is the term "whitewash" in the thread
an indicator that B. Hussein Obama
used to have a "white" mother ?

what is she now, black too
kinda like Bill Clinton was the first black President
she is the first black "first momma" in waiting ?

man, I can't believe he would let people bash his mother this way with all the white bashing

she ought to disown him

or has she ?
matter of fact, where the flock is she ?

“If all I knew were those statements I saw on television, I would be shocked,” Obama said.

Well, I've been led (by the main stream media) to believe that racists only come in one color, white. From what I've seen and heard on television and read on the internet, it seems that in some cases, a non-white can, indeed, be a racist.

Whites get villified for saying much less in private than what Reverend Racist said from the pulpit. Sad thing is that the R^2 claims to be a man of G_d.

Obama, does your minister wear a tin foil hat as well? I've heard that the evil ZOG mind control rays are mostly blocked by wrapping one's head in multiple layers of tin foil.

It's looking more and more like the Church was an important vehicle in Obama's rise to the top in Illinois politics. I have been looking into who exactly attends the church and a surprising number of judges, lawyers, and a current senator (Raoul Kwame) attend services at Trinity and proudly acknowledge this fact on their websites. Now, I have nothing against people attending services, but when you have many influential people attending a church where there is rampant anti- Americanism and racism of the extreme Afro-centrist variety you are asking for trouble.

How long before we see Obama's long- time "friends" from Trinity asking for their share of the "Change?"

How long before we see racist cronies like Jesse Jackson asking Obama to pony up some of the "Change?"

It's just a matter of time.

Obama's pasta is cooked!

They managed to keep a lid on Kerry's magic hat and fake war medals. They also kept a lid on how the medals he threw over the fence did not belong to him. They also managed to "swiftboat" the swiftboaters so that the swiftboaters were made to look like liars, instead of Kerry looking like a liar.

So, I don't expect the MSM to reveal Obama's emptiness, incompetence, and anti-American ties. Anyone who still has a chance to vote in a primary should vote for Hillary, just because Obama will be much much worse.

So the AP will "steal" naked pictures of Spitzer's hooker 'Kristen', but they won't expose the "Rev" hater?

So... not surprised.

Oh... and Sweetness & Light owns this story... since 1/25/2007 and the first video.

“If all I knew were those statements I saw on television, I would be shocked,” Obama said.

"But", he continued, "having seen them in person one has to account for various social factors being addressed in a colloquial manner most outside of the Church could never fully fathom, ya'll being racist scum and all..."
/additional subtext provided for those who don't get it yet...

Obama is a lying sack, and the AP is worse, covering for him. Scumbags.

re: #147 Adrenalyn

His white grandmother who raised him is very much alive last I heard. Why has the African step grandmother been all over the news, but not word one about the other half? A most peculiar man this Obama person.I suspect many snakes in head.

CNN just did it moments ago. They reported that Obama's Pastor had made "controversial comments" and then showed what amounted to a 5 minute Obama infomercial withour any mention of specifics.

I commented that they failed to quote the Pastor's comments directly and my wife, who doesn't follow this stuff closely asked me what they were.

I said "He said we invented AIDS to wipe out black people and some other equally crazy and racist things"

She said, "Wha, Wha, What?!"

re: #158 vagabond trader

White grandmother is a political embarassment for Obama and his liberal supporters. Black grandmother, on the other hand, makes for some (pardon the pun) colorful reporting.

re: #22 jcm

...its about all i need to know that your "mentor/spiritual guide" is a bigoted, lying, racist of the worst kind.

And his political mentor is a Gramsician Whore.

Obama's mentors consists of lying bigoted, racist, communists.

But then I'm keeping the Black Man (50% white, 45% arab, 5% black) down.

I keep seeing this 45 percent Arab nonsense on Obama? Where is there any proof on this? Kenya claims him as a member of he Luo tribe and a muslim from mostly a Christian tribal area. The name only is Arab. Which is a common practice. His family tree on his father's side looks all African. The Luo tribe is not an Arab entity.

Among the people I know that are mixed race, the ones with the stronger characters value both of their herititages. And they project it as love for their parents. More immature, less well developed people, or hurt people can think more of one race over another and incur the inherent problems in doing something like that. Ungrounded. I think Obama is such a person.

Out of interest I jogged along to Al-BBC News website, for the life of me, I can see no mention of this story on their site. If there is, its hidden well. Truly worrying from a UK prospective, but not really surprising with their nasty biased and warped track record.

Guess that paragraph will have to be repeated a lot until it sinks in.

Don't know where that Arab percentage bit is coming from, either. Arab and Muslim are NOT the same terms. One is the name of a population of shared descent, the other the name of a person who practices Islam. Not all Arabs are Muslim. Not all Muslims are Arabs.
Luos are of Black African Niolitic descent, not Arab. Many are Christians, many are pagans, some are Muslim. Gotta ask the individual first what he or she believes, don't assume.

"If all I knew were those statements I saw on television, I would be shocked," Obama said.
So does this mean he's not shocked and accepts that crap spewed by his mentor.
If Obama did not know, he is either deaf or stupid. If he doesn't know what goes on in a church he attended regularly for 20 years, how the hell could he be trusted to know what's going on in the world? I'd say Obama is a liar.

The media's "coverage" of Bambi has been nothing short of revolting. For the news outlets to ignore this story is an out-and-out disgrace. If this was anyone else, they'd be up in arms. The amount of white guilt within America's news centers and how it dictates the near-universal pro-coverage of Bambi is nauseating.
