Obama Web Site 'Disappears' Radical Pastor

Sun, Mar 16, 2008 at 10:36:54 am PDT

The official Barack Obama campaign web site has quietly airbrushed away any mention of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, with no statement or explanation. He was formerly the very first person listed on Obama’s “Testimonials” page: Pastor Wright Erased From Obama’s Website.

Stalin ain’t got nothin’ on the “progressive” wing of the Democratic Party.

Barack wants everything both ways. He wants change from divisive politics but he picks some of the most divisive people as his advisors. He expects everyone to transcend race. But he picks a pastor, and advisor, that makes some of the most racially vitriolic comments. He needs to explain how he makes some of these decisions in the face of the comments that he makes.

Let's see, he wants us to not to be Red States or Blues States, but the United States. He is the only one that can bring us together. His leadership and his vision is the only one that will bring the "change" necessary to stop the partisan politics that has divided our country so.

But, in his brief tenure in the Senate, he's hardly been a bipartisan enthusiast and rarely crosses the party lines. He has been uninspiring in his committee assignments and has not really put forth any substantive legislation. His voting record is consistently ranked as one of the most liberal in the entire Senate. And, as we can now see, his spiritual adviser is an America-Hating Black separatist that blames white people for all of the ills of the world. He may not share the same views as his pastor, but he cannot erase the fact that he has attended that church for years and Rev. Wright has played a significant role in his life.

Now, tell me, how, coming from Sen. Obama's actual experience, not his current "projected" image, can he unite the Red and Blue States? (And, do we really want to be united?)

I am glad Senator Obama has come so far in this Presidential race. It has broken down barriers and it is good for the country in the long run. However, I feel that he is just another slimy politician that will say whatever is necessary to win. The gloss is off and now maybe we can have a real election.

Look up a book called "The Commissar Vanishes" by David King. It's a collection of soviet era photographs. In the original picture, Stalin in standing in the back of a group of old bolsheviks. Over the years, the photo is airbrushed till only Stalin remains.

Yediot Acharonot, one of Israel's dailies, had a clever [IMHO] headline to their article about Obama's problematic pastor.

The article was headlined: Comer Nefetz. Literally, it means "explosive priest". But the finer touch is that it rhymes with Chomer Nefetz, which is Hebrew for "explosive material" [i.e., what a conventional missile would be packed with].

Look at the Balkinization of Europe, and we're not far behind. Want more? Look at the implosion of the Democrat party this year, due to its identity politics, and two different identities vying for supremacy. The latent racism and bigotry are bubbling boiling to the surface.

However as others have pointed out, his followers will not be affected. They will rationalize it away.
Oh but I do look forward to the Democrat Convention. I might even watch coverage of it by the drive-by media, just to see the looks on their faces.

Stalin ain’t got nothin’ on the “progressive” wing of the Democratic Party.

Which is why the Democrat Party is going to have a little purge of its own after the November election. The mainstream political types have allowed neo-Stalinists to hijack the party -- they thought they were using Hillary to co-opt the neo-Stalinists, but they didn't count on Obama leading the Mensheviks to a position of power.

Having tied their candidate to the same policy positions and the same hard-Left orthodoxy, the Clinton Bolsheviks have no legitimate basis on which to attack or discredit Obama. Thus the only tools the two factions have with which to combat one another are accusations of reactionarism and insufficient orthodoxy (plus, of course, good old-fashioned character assassination).

After the election, the Democrat Party will most likely quash and purge the hard-Left radicals out of the party as a matter of electoral survival, forcing the radicals to declare a Leftist party of their own, or they will abandon the party to the radicals and attempt to form a Centrist party.

That's my wild-eyed prediction.

The Obama's 2006 tax returns show a donation of $22,500 to Wright. (and $13, 107 to Congressional Black Caucus; $15,000 to CARE [it's already bad enough - so let's hope the IRS got the spelling correct]; $5,000 to the Muntu Dance Theater and $4,700 to assorted recognized charities).

Ayatollah Wright clearly got the lion's share of their tax right-off. And that's not disappearing anytime too soon.

Dumping your "spiritual adviser" shows how shallow Obama's faith really is, assuming there is anything there at all which is doubtful. Its pretty obvious he was just using Jeremiah Wright to get street cred, but now the minuses outweigh the pluses so he throws his crazy old Uncle under the bus and pretends to not have known what about his racist hate spewing tendencies. Obama's pandering reaction to all this has been telling. How do you not know what kind of person your spiritual adviser is?

Her only hope would appear to be the super delegates. How many of them are left wing wackos? Can she stop him at this late stage?

By definition, all of the superdelegates are dependent on the Democrat Party winning to keep their positions of power. That's the "genius" of the superdelegate system: give a key voting bloc a vested interest in choosing an electable candidate, the will of the Democrat primary voters and caucus-goers be damned.

The wonderful thing about the Democrat Party's current predicament is that if the superdelegate system works as designed, the party will send a massive "up yours!" to Obama's supporters, including the new generation of first-time voters that they've been trying to mobilize for decades now. As any parent knows, you never tell the children that they get to choose on any question if you're not prepared to accept their choice: it just teaches them that Mom and Dad are unfair and hypocritical.

Has anyone asked Obama what he thinks of the black values system or black liberation theology?

116 Freedom Fan  Sun, Mar 16, 2008 11:18:43am

C'mon, Wright is not racist. Only whitey can be racists. What is racist about hundreds of blacks gathering every week in "churches" to cheer their pastor's remarks about how all evil in the world is the fault of the white man? That's racist? C'mon get real.

Obama's church is Africa-centric, and America-hating. The foundation of his church is a parochial 'Black Value System' which vows to only help and celebrate other blacks. Is that racist? No way.

90% of all American blacks support Obama. Is that evidence of black racism? Of course not.

No actually, Americans are sick of the blatant hypocrisy of watching some white guy's career being destroyed because he made a silly joke about someone being "nappy-headed, while 'pastors' like jerimiah wright celebrate racists like louis farrakhan with honorary awards.

We're sick of watching when honorable folks like Trent Lott have their careers ruined for speaking highly of Strom Thurmond, while Democrats, who constantly brand conservatives as 'racists', put former KKK Kleagle Robert Byrd into the fourth most powerful position in the U.S.

We're sick of watching the majority of blacks give a pass to wealthy murderers like o.j. simpson, just based on the shade of his skin.
We're sick of watching "churches" like LA's African Methodist Episcopal, and congresswoman maxine waters encourage and apologize for the thugs who rioted, murdered and burned down Los Angeles in the wake of the Rodney King fiasco.
We're sick of watching 'reverend' jesse jackson shake down corporations for money to protect them from his phoney charges of racial discrimination.

We're sick of seeing folks like President Bush being ripped as a 'racist' for once visiting Bob Jones U. because they disapproved of interracial marriage, yet giving Obama a pass when he applauds the bigoted pastor wright who spouts racist and Anti-American rage for 20 years while Obama and his hate-filled wife sit approvingly in the pews, or even join him at the pulpit.

The perfect punishment for Wright and his congregation of Africa-worshippers would be to deport them to Africa and let them actually try to live there the rest of their lives Maybe send them to dusty centers of starvation, corruption, and rampant AIDS infestation like Uganda or Ethiopia. If they are lucky they could just go to Kenya where Obama's Muslim cousin lost an election to turn Kenya into a Marxist utopia and in response, his supporters rioted and murdered about 600 folks. These America-haters would be begging to come back to the good old 'US of KKK' within 10 days or less.

I don't know if Obama is racist, but if he is elected, I am pretty sure the 'change' you will have is: America becoming more like Africa, which Obama worships every Sunday. As senator, the ONLY bill Obama sponsored which became law, was one to shovel American taxpayer money into the African Congo.

I am glad that America is finally having this discussion. It is time for Americans -- ALL Americans -- to be judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

I went to the Obama site to try to find the Testimonials page and it is hidden to the point that finding it is beyond me. I did an advanced google search of Obama's domaine with the exact phrasing of "Testimonials" and "Testimonial" only to find...nothing.

Of course, by going to sweetness-light.com and following their link to the page I managed to verify that it was real, I hadn't really doubted it before mind you, but the fact that this page was so hard to find was kind of eyebrow-raising. I'm talking about 1998 WWF The Rock eyebrow-raising!

If you go to Obama's website you'll have to maneuver to the front page, click on people, then click on people of faith. Somehow I'm missing it or not willing to do more than skim through it and search for the word "testimonial", but that's the general area you'd look at to find the faith testimonials.

As an aside though, I'd like to say that it makes sense that Obama would erase all mention of Wright from his website. He publically denounced the guy, and it'd look strange if he didn't remove him. As for the Ninja-Silence about the whole thing, that just seems politically smart. He wants to pacify those offended and not throw his "dissapproval" into the face of the offenders.

Obama's chosen pastor is an AIDS troofer, who says that America invented the AIDS virus in order to carry out genocide against the people of color of the world. He is, as Krauthammer accurately stated it, a "raving bigot". This is the person that Obama chose as his pastor, and exposed his children to Wright's bigoted ravings.

Obama remains a mystery person, and we need to understand why it is that Obama claims not to have known that his chosen pastor is a raving bigot, despite having attended his preaching of hatred for many, many years and having exposed his children to this.

The WrightGate scandal is not going away by airbrushing Wright out of testimonials for Obama at his website.

But, you know what, or country probably is past all the identitie politics, for the most part. Their is no doubt whats left of it is alive and well in the drive-by media, and Democrat Party, but I don't think most people link Obama's pastor as representing black people.

He didn't denounce Wright. BHO only denounced statements by Wright that may have offended people. The silence isn't maybe so smart either -- Obama will never be president, partly because he hasn't got it within him to disagree with and denounce Wright's ideas and ideals and black liberation theology attitude ... BHO could only go as far as condemning a few 'statements' that were maybe inflammatory. Obama's a wimp, and is hiding his true feelings and world-view.

Will this issue be enough to convince the "superdelegates" that Obama isn't electable and they should cast their votes for Hillary Clinton? I don't know.

I think there is still enough time left for Obama to "fix" this. He'll distance himself from Wright, Wright will distance himself from Obama, they'll agree to make up scenarios where Obama has disagreed with Wright, etc. The election is still months away, and I think by then this issue will have faded, with the economy being the biggest remaining one.

Juan Williams is worried, and thinks Obama can’t bail out of that church fast enough.

I followed the link to the "sanitized" Obama page and found another pastor there named Dr. J. Alfred Smith.

I went to his website and looked at his awards.

And there you will see that the Black Panther Party of Oakland gave him an award in 1975 and the Nation of Islam gave him an award in 1990.

I don't want to defame the guy just because these groups recognized his community service, but wouldn't it be interesting if some of the same teachings currently under scrutinty existed here as well?

I see where Obama's church has released a statement concerning Pastor Wright. Someone should ask the church board if what Pastor Wright says, is the Church's policy. If it is, fine. But shouldn't Obama quit the church if in fact that is the official policy of his church? Just asking.

re: #116 Freedom Fan

Th real story of Obama's pastor, is that America is slowly realizing why it is that, generation after generation, African-American children grow-up believing they are victims. We are learning the real reasons why African-Americans refuse to adopt "American" culture, why they cling to the notion of mother Africa. Why they refuse to speak proper english and glorify ghetto culture.

It's because they are force-fed, from birth, in mainstream Black churches, the notion of a Black value system, of being victimized by "whitey". By corrupt "pastors" who are only in it for the money and power, a la Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

It's why African-Americans vote their race as opposed to the issues. How else can you explain African-Americans, who vote for Democrats, who oppose school choice? It's completely against their better interests to not have school choice, but yet they vote for a party that opposes school choice.

Who are the real racists?

I noticed something on his website and wanted to make sure I have read things correctly. He has a page that is in response to the "lies" that exist that he attended a muslim school. I thought I read elsewhere that he said that he had attended muslim and catholic schools when he was young but that neither school has influenced his religious beliefs. Please educate me on this.

re: #161 Fearless Fred

I've read articles about how his true self comes out when he's not heavily coached before a debate or provided with a teleprompter. I assumed it was just an attack on some imaginary flaw (though he's got so many positional flaws you'd have to wonder why you'd need to make one up.) now I'm thinking that you're right and he's hiding his positions on a lot more than just the things that make it impossible for me to vote for him.

Either way....Hillary brings every scandal and shady back-alley deal her and Bill ever spearheaded, Obama brings inexperience, an aroma of racism and a complete misunderstanding of foreign policy with him. Looking good for McCain.

190 Red_State_Envy  Sun, Mar 16, 2008 1:19:59pm

I love Pastor Wright (peace be upon him) and wish him the best. He's almost single-handedly responsible for the fact that the "U.S. of KKK A." is waking up to what a hateful, America-hating racist BO really is. No lapel pen for him, no siree bob! No hand-on-heart national anthem singing – that’s just symbolism! Just good old fashioned ‘never-been-proud-of-his-country-till-now&rs quo;, that’s just what the doctor ordered.

Cash in, Pastor Wright, grab your 15 minutes of fame by the horns! Go on Oprah and denounce us white folks! Write a book about the evil amerikkkans. Stay in the lime light so that the guilt ridden white liberals can see what trillions of dollars and decades of affirmative action, welfare and the great society have gotten them.

Thank you, Pastor Wright! Bring out the caustic Michelle Obama -- let them perform a venom spewing duet!

194 AZfederalist  Sun, Mar 16, 2008 1:40:35pm

This is certainly going to make the convention interesting. Somewhere, Hillary is cackling with delight.

I don't think it is so much that the Clintons have these grand strategic plans, but are very good at rapidly exploiting situations to their advantage. It appears they have a vast amount of information available to them (and the leftwing kooks are worried about Bush) that they can dribble out here or there to the right places in order to destroy the reputation of anyone that gets in their way. In no way does this exonerate Obama who has his own issues, he is just way too inexperienced and naive to even be playing in this arena.

My money is on Hillary getting the nomination as a result of the "Rush the Vote" Rush effect in Texas and this surprisingly conveniently-timed leak of the Rev's anti-Americanism. That's not all bad, if we had a candidate on the other side with the cajones to fully press issues, Hillary should be easily defeatable. My only concern is that when the Clintons go after something, they usually win.

#190 Indeed. Rev Wright is the GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. Those of you who haven't visited the Sweetness and Light website to see THE ENTIRE REPERTOIRE, in print, of all of Rev Wright's sermons-- you need to go and read them. Then when you read Hussein decrying the "character assassination" taking place you can KNOW he's lying when he states " I never heard anything like this before."
1) He 'AINT been going to the Church he CLAIMS to have been attending, in which case where does the pious Hussein go to Church?; or 2) He's been going to the House Of TwoWrongsMakeaWright and he's out-and-out lying to keep closeted his bone deep racist ideology.

And, Rev. TwoWrongs....leave Jesus and God out of your sermons.

You haven't had a "passing" relation with Christ or God in over 40 years. You just USE them as a way to rake in the dollars by preying upon bigotry, fear and hate.

197 kellino  Sun, Mar 16, 2008 1:59:43pm

Newsmax claims to have seen Obama nodding in agreement during one of Wright's hate episodes

Wright laced into America's establishment, blaming the "white arrogance" of
America's Caucasian majority for the woes of the world, especially the
oppression suffered by blacks. To underscore the point he refers to the country
as the "United States of White America." Many in the congregation, including
Obama, nodded in apparent agreement as these statements were made. [Emphasis added]

re: #116 Freedom Fan

I am glad that America is finally having this discussion. It is time for Americans -- ALL Americans -- to be judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

I'm also glad that so-called whites are starting to push back against affirmative action. This business of counting how many drops of black blood, Hispanic blood, etc. has got to end. Martin Luther King, Jr. was right to call for an end to racism. The race mongers have kept it alive because it is a money-making activity. (I could say the same about certain other groups, but this post would get too complicated.)

I know several people who've been given opportunities because they had a Hispanic name (their former husband's name), and also people who've been given special treatment because they were part black, even though their parents were wealthy high achievers. It's time for this kind of racist scam to end.

Few people are born with a perfect set of skills and opportunities. It's up to everyone to play the best hand with the cards they've been dealt. Why is a person with a "drop of Negro blood" more likely to need help than a "full-blooded white person" who suffers from extreme nearsightedness?

Forgive me for using the ugly racial terminology in quotations above. Those terms were contemptible in 1910, and their modern counterparts are just as contemptible today.

Welcome hatchling, and since you asked, you are about to be schooled. First off, does not matter if B. Hussein Obama did this or did that when he was 8 years old. Got it? What matters is NOW. When in doubt, always follow the money trail. [Link: www.americanthinker.com...]

Separation of church and state is only a figment of an activist supreme court imagination. The constitution's bill of rights prohibits congress from making laws establishing religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. That doesn't mean that people in office must be agnostic. The people on that web page are perfectly within their rights to assert their religious preference and background. They may be moonbats, misguided, and idiots, but their advertising of their faiths is perfectly within reason.

re: #119 DeathtotheSwiss

... He publically denounced the guy, and it'd look strange if he didn't remove him.


No, he didn't. He denounced his remarks, and only incrementally, as each was exposed, with careful language meant to distance himself only just enough to placate detractors of Wright, with minimal alienation of fellow TUCC members and black nationalists. He has not denounced Wright or Farrakhan, only some of their more virulent comments.
