Obama's Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11

[durrrty libby]

..snip..

"In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.

Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."

An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans. "

Olbermann is doing an expose on McCain's spiritual adviser. Will he do one on Obama's too?

After all he thinks he's Edward R Morrow.

[Warren DeMontague]

1. OH NOES!!!111!!! This is HUGH!!1111

I heard Obama's gardener is an Ayn Rand freak, too. Pass it on!

[Little Star]

2. KeithO is in a river called denial.

[durrrty libby]

12. And I'll bet a run of the mill hypocrite too.

[libbygurl]

44. LOL! nt

[AX10]

57. Olbermann is your run of the mill pundit.

He's a hack with an agenda.

[LisaM]

3. So that explains that title.

I can't bear that title. I find it to be so arrogant.


Here's a look at the magazine the church puts out: http://www.trumpetmag.com

[keep_it_real]

4. That's his religions opinion and opinion of the Bible.

[anonymous171]

5. This is slime. It implies that Obama is a black supremacist or something.

Stupid. Has nothing to do with his decision making skills or his record.

[Redstone]

9. It's just the kind of obsessive flameposting that has become the norm here in GD-P.

Redstone

[Iceburg]

31. He has been with the church and the pastor for 20 years

the pastor is his menot and spiritual advisor.

How long would you hang out with a extreme racist crowd? I would hope you can measure it in picoseconds.

[durrrty libby]

38. Truth is "slime" in Kool-Aid town

:eyes: :dunce: :nopity:

[Redstone]

6. Don't have much of an agenda there, do you? Nor an axe to grind? Nor an obsession?

Redstone

[rodeodance]

56. gee you folks are in a little tizzy tonight. he he

[boston bean]

7. In the meantime will all O supporters put their heads in the sand,

O'reilly and CNN are reporting the story.

KeithO has really become irrelevant in this primary season. He has jumped the shark. And he really isn't doing the party any favors with his one sided reporting and opinion.

[Skip Intro]

13. Haven't watched KO in weeks now. He was nice while he lasted. He's in the dustbin with MoveOn now.

too bad

[UALRBSofL]

25. K/O

[judaspriestess]

70. I feel exactly the same way

I caught about 30 seconds of KO tonight and it was going down the same old tired road, I am done.

[Nitrogenica]

8. Iggy

[cali]

10. What can you do but laugh?

It's like hillbots gone wild around here. This is at least the 20th time this has been posted today, hillbot.

[goldcanyonaz]

11. which uncle, Ray Ray or Pookie?

[durrrty libby]

14. lol Maybe Uncle Okie D

[redstate_democrat]

37. Wait a minute.

Who the hell brought Ray Ray and Pookie into this. Leave them the hell out of this sick shit!






























:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

YOU PEOPLE ARE UTTERLY P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. I don't believe Obama himself believes this shit

But that won't stop the media and the Rovians to exploit it. Obama has his head in the sand if he thinks that anything less than a full denunciation will work for this. Wright comes across as anti-American, which is the LAST thing Obama should want himself associated with.

[earthlover]

55. Here we go again....the Hillary herd shits and says it is the Rovians and Reps....

Of course, there isn't much difference between what the Republicans might do to Obama and what you sickos in the Hillary Herd are actually doing of your own free will....

[Levgreee]

16. He's not his spiritual advisor, how about you stop with your disinformation?

A spiritual adviser is generally considered something much different from a pastor, even though a pastor gives spiritual advice. Spiritual adviser usually describes an adviser on religious matters in an official sense or in a government position.

[emilyg]

17. For 20 years.

[durrrty libby]

72. Obama has called him his "Spiritual Mentor" Sorry bub, this

is clearly not "disinformation"
and the there is this

http://www.gwu.edu/~action/2008/obama/obama120407pr.html

[MadBadger]

18. Provide the damn quote you vile smear artist.

[Catchawave]

22. That's a disturbing avatar/sig under your subject line....

Did you forget the sarcasm ?

[durrrty libby]

26. heh

[blogslut]

19. Sounds like Brian Ross

Has a reading comprehension problem. Much like certain posters here.

[desi]

20. The pastor from Hell...

You think that these revelations may be why Michelle is suddenly proud of her country for the very first time? The Obamas figured that this crap was eventually going to see the light of day no doubt.

K&R

[durrrty libby]

28. This is where Michelle gets her talking points. Indeed quite disgusting and vile

[DURHAM D]

39. It does explain a lot doesn't it? eom

[libbygurl]

42. Yup. Calling someone your 'mentor' and 'spiritual advisor'...

...means you value his opinions to a great degree. You just gotta wonder.

[desi]

45. Now that you mention it...

She sounds just like "The 'Honorable' Louis Farrakhan." May I add, there is NOTHING honorable about Farrakhan, absolutely NOTHING!

[Catchawave]

46. Obamarosa ?

LOL.

[BootinUp]

21. The old Uncle? lol.

[DS1]

23. Are you saying it isn't?

I doubt you'll reply, this is probably another one of your hit and runs.

[BeatleBoot]

24. Not a Good Day for Obama

Sad, actually.

[Beregond2]

34. Wright

Funny, I have never heard a single word about this story anywhere but here.

Do you seriously think the people of America are incapable of distinguishing between Obama's opinions and those of his pastor? You might as well say Carter was done-in by his brother Billy.

You Hillbots (and this is the first time I have used that term, but you are earning it) have really gone stark raving loony. You spew bigotry of every kind in al directions, you write-off anyone who dares to criticise your candidate, you close your mind to anything resembling reality. No wonder you have been so anxious to use the "cult" label; that is exactly what you have become.

That must have been some damn fine Kool-aid.

[BeatleBoot]

49. Welcome to DU!

And sorry about your day.

:hi:

[durrrty libby]

53. "Hillbots "? Hey you BO Sniffers need to try snorting actual O2

That BO second hand smoke is rendering your last brain cell necrotic

[earthlover]

62. Right you are. And, the hillbots don't want to discuss Hillary's membership in The Fellowship

...a secretive ultra conservative religious organization with hyper conservative members, including a former head of a militant anti-abortion organization....one that bombed abortion clinics.

A society she has been a member for 15 years.

But Obama is a Muslim.....no...he goes to a Christian Church....oh, gollly by george, let's criticise Obama for going to Church! That'll go over big....

You Herd Members are so fucking gullible....I bet you pay to be a member of your cult!

[fairyforest]

61. I think you exaggerate

Obama disagrees with the pastor's views.

[cbayer]

27. As the daughter of a radically left-wing minister, i am sad to see this

being used to damage Obama. People go to a specific church for a lot of different reasons and, although the minister is generally the congregational leader, he or she does not speak for the congregation or it's members.

My father gives very fiery sermons, generally taking a stance far outside of what most people would say, in order to stimulate thought, discussion and reflection.

That being said, I do think there are many who will use this to hurt Obama and I am sad that that will happen.

I also felt that the Ferraro incident was blown way out of proportion in order to harm Clinton. These kind of personal attacks just don't fly with me.

This is a repeat post from another thread, but I just wanted to say it again. i won't post it again.

[MadBadger]

35. If this only stays in the Fox News World, than it wont hurt Obama

If the rest of the MSM picks up on it, than it could.

[durrrty libby]

40. Except Inside Edition and Dan Abrams are airing the Wright story tonight

and since this is a piece investigated by ABC they will air it too

[Olney Blue]

29. Oh, that the founding fathers had written "no religious test" in the

Constitution.

Oops. They did. OK, let's carry on with the religion crap against both candidates.

[redstate_democrat]

30. HILLARY

reads the Bible and attends a Christian church, therefore, Hillary is vehemently anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-single mother, anti-muslim, anti-non Christian.

Take that, take that!


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[jackson_dem]

41. Is her pastor a bigot? Most folks don't have a racist pastor yet Mr. "unity" does...

[redstate_democrat]

50. How is Mr. Wright a bigot in your mind?

And, what's worst, BELIEVING in something that is considered anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-single mother, anti-non Christian, or going to hear a speaker discuss that which you believe in?

[Megahurtz]

32. Nice try but

Obama is not his Pastor. :think:

[libbygurl]

43. But Wright is Obama's 'spritual advisor' and 'mentor'.

nt

[rodeodance]

60. Write is a member of BO's AA Leadership committee.

[Marie26]

33. I'm more worried about Obama's ties to bankers

Really, I doubt the DU audience will be particularly shocked by this - it might even solidify his support.

[NewHampster]

36. Obama can take his church and shove it

The guys an ass but then again all religion is dumb in some way.

[Yes We Did]

47. Well, weren't we? Partly?

I know it sounds like a completely unpatriotic thing to say, but let's be honest with ourselves.

Our government and their ridiculous actions bear some blame for 911. We had no business meddling with the countries in the middle east.

Now, before anyone tries to put words in my mouth, by no means am I saying that we "deserved" to be attacked. The american people/civilians weren't to blame.

[Bjorn Against]

48. I am not religious at all, but that sounds like a man who is speaking the truth

People can denounce it all they want, but from what I read it sounds like he was just saying what most of the rest of the world is thinking. Like it or not US foreign policy has pissed off many people around the world, and outside of this country not everyone is pumping their fists in the air and shouting "USA! USA! USA!". The Pentagon has killed millions of people in recent decades, that is a fact and how ever much people want to denounce those who point out that fact it doesn't clean the blood off the hands of our government.

[tomp]

73. the true story of 9/11 has not been written yet.

the one thing we know for sure is that the official story is a lie. and it is a lie that neither democrat nor republican (with rare exception and at great cost) is challenging. The preponderence of unanswered questions strongly points to an inside job.

[Rock_Garden]

51. Don't hold your breath for that one.

[earthlover]

52. Your story does not back up your sensationalist headline...

but what else is new? Don't you get tired of the same broken record?

[rodeodance]

58. but it attracted you. --only to whin. How many pillows do you want?

[rodeodance]

59. go look at the abc website. same title for a news story

[durrrty libby]

65. The title came with the article. That poster is just DUmb

[rodeodance]

66. too bad the press is now covering it. Time to wake up--and not name-call.

[durrrty libby]

64. LIAR

[sueragingroz]

54. It's over. It's just a matter of time now.

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/13/a-sermon-echoing-around-obama/?ref=opinion

[durrrty libby]

63. "It's over." Let us pray that it is so. heh

Ooooh goody. It's hitting the NYT already. Wow

[rodeodance]

67. Keeping your head in the sand is silly at this point. WAKE UP

[dailykoff]

68. Well he's absolutely right about 911

if he said it.

[jackson_dem]

71. Obama's going to defend himself by saying America's skirt was too high?

That won't fly as a reply to pastorgate and I doubt Obama even believes that.

[BlackVelvet04]

69. thanks for the post. n/t

[zulchzulu]

74. Desperation tactic #3,786: Link Obama's pastor to his campaign

What page is that in the Karl Rove Handbook of Asinine Solutions For Today's Assholes?

Do you have a pastor? Do you believe everything he/she says? Should you be linked to what she/he says at all times?

Pathetic...

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

75. thanks, Rush!

[dionysus]

76. aww, the bots are scraping the bottom of the barrel...

this will make you feel better about the Obama nomination

your banky, maam;

[Martin Eden]

77. GOOD NEWS about Reverend Wright:

If the McCain campaign attacks Obama for his association with Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, this should at least dispell the notion some people have that Obama is a Muslim.

The BAD NEWS:
Reverend Wright has repeatedly said "God damn America" -- and regardless of the context or Obama's rejection of such statements, this could be a deal breaker for some of the swing voters in crucial states.

Personally, I don't think Obama's association with Wright makes Obama an America-hater, a traitor, or disqualifies him in the least. Unfortunately, not everyone will see it that way.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

78. coupled with Michelle's 1st time I'm Proud of America" remarks the 527's will kill him

[Martin Eden]

79. They'll TRY to kill him ...

... but I think either Dem candidate is still more electable than McCain.
