The Obama camp is trying to divert attention away from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s 20 year relationship with Sen. Barack Obama:
During one of the most difficult periods in the presidency of Bill Clinton, he addressed a group of clerics at an annual prayer breakfast in September 1998 just as the Starr report outlining his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky was about to be published.
Among those in attendance, was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., who is seen shaking hands with Mr. Clinton in a photograph provided today by the Obama campaign. Mr. Wright’s relationship with Senator Barack Obama, as his longtime pastor, has been the subject of considerable controversy in recent days because of incendiary excerpts of sermons Mr. Wright gave at their church, Trinity United Church of Christ, in Chicago.
In providing the photograph to The New York Times, the Obama campaign appeared to be trying to divert some attention to the Clintons after a week in which Mr. Obama’s relationship with Mr. Wright has left him facing one of the biggest challenges of his campaign. There is nothing in the picture or the note that addresses whether Mr. Clinton had met Mr. Wright prior to the White House meeting or whether he or Mrs. Clinton knew anything about Mr. Wright’s views.
Desperation on the cusp of insanity…. yeah, this will get ‘em, Obama campaign thinks.
More likely it will provide the in denial remnant of ObamaNation fuel to stick around to the now inevitable very bitter end.
As for the photo, photos of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam MEAN somthing, as there was a decades long business and political relationship those photos illustrate.
Bill Clinton shook hands with MILLIONS of people during his lifetime, and you know, Obama campain, if you really look hard enough, I’d just bet you can find one of Bill SHAKING HANDS WITH LARRY SINCLAIR’S LIMO DRIVER.
Desperation on the cusp of insanity. Clinton never raised funds for Wright, never as far as anyone knows ever sat in on even ONE MINUTE of ONE SERMON, never JOINED HIS BLACK SUPREMACIST CHURCH, never claimed the man as his mentor, and never claimed the man gave him the title of one of his most popular books. You notice how you NEVER hear anyone from ObamaNation talking about “The Audacity of Hope” anymore. Flush that particular former asset. “The Audactiy of Shit.”
Desperation on the cusp of insanity; you’re going to hear and see more and more of it as Rove’s Tool continues to flush himself down the toilet, taking ObamaNation and hopefully Karl Rove’s dreams of eight more GOP years of endless war and economic collapse with a certain McCain victory against Obama with him.
Funny watching Obama twisting like a pretzel trying to make the racist bigoted WRIGHT and him going to his church for 20 years seem ok.
The Obama campaign did this with REZKO and made a fool out of Hillary on live tv when they suprised Hillary with the photo of her and Rezko shaking hands.
Hope the Media knows this is just a ploy by the Obama camp to stop people from seeing the real racist Obama.
No matter how Obama defends himself with this Wright issue its never going to go away. Even bad news about Wright for someone else is going to draw news about Obama connection to Wright
See videos: Shame On Joe Scarborough, MSM and Obama Parts 2, 3 and 1
Scarborough wants the public to believe a lie. Scarborough calls Rev. Wright’s statements about Nagasaki and Hiroshima in his sermon a “hateful tirade.” The American people don’t deserve to be manipulated and lied to.
Big deal if Bill Clinton got his picture taken with Rev. Wright. As much as the Bill Clinton has done for blacks, I am sure he has his picture taken with a lot of black preachers. The point, the Clinton’s did not seat in the pews of the church for 20 years supporting the racist, radical, anti-American divisiveness.

I voted for Barack Obama during the primary system. Since the Rev, Jeremiah Wright issue came to surface, I cannot understand how the DNC could now support Barack Obama as a presidential candidate for it’s party!
No matter what kind of spin is done to this issue, Rev. Wright was spewing anti -American rhetoric. Obama conveniently did not address that issue during his well delivered speech on Tuesday.
I “reject and denounce” my primary vote for Barack Obama! If Clinton does not get the nomination, I and my family, good number of our friends, will be voting for John McCain in the general election. Barack Obama is well suited to be a great civil rights leader, but not the President of The United States.
I have stopped all funding to the DNC. If the Democratic Party wants to win in November, the super delegates better wise up fast, support Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama has disqualified himself by twenty years of supporting a radical, racist, divisive anti-American church. No speech is going to replace his actions.
If Barack Obama had respect for the Democratic Party, he would immediately withdraw from the race.
I sure people don’t fall for this trick. There is a huge difference in shaking hands and getting a picture made with a president vs. attending a church where the paster preaches hate and racism.
Rev Wright was not Bills mentor
Bill was not married by Rev Wright
Chelsea was not baptized by Rev Wright
Bill Clinton did not attend Rev Wrights Church for 20 yrs
The picture is meaningless and if the OB camp put it out there–another boneheaded mistake.
The people in fla and michigan need to protest so their votes are counted. That is what al sharpton and jesse jackson would do. Is obama going to pardon rezko if he wins the election?Obama needs to release all of his documents!!
to solve this problem Democrats should of quit helping the NlGGERS along time ago so this situation would never of happened. The Clintons are now finding out the NlGGERS are biting the hand the fed them.
The DNC is sticking with him because your honest vote and the millions of other “honest” votes given to him are being used in a “dishonest” way. If you had known then what you know now you and millions of others would not have voted for him. The DNC knows this. That is why they withheld this info for a year cheating you out the opportunity to honestly assess Obama. Now they will take your vote and force him into the White House unless we rise up against this via those superdelegates and tell them, as you have said, WE WILL NOT VOTE HIM INTO THE PRESIDENCY. Email, call, write do anything to get that message to them. Start with the DNC 202-863-8000.
Obama must resign/withdraw from the race for the good of the party. Look at this disgusting attempt he’s now making at trying to smear Bill Clinton with this man whom he sat under for 20 YEARS!!!. He thinks we are stupid.
I think the whole purpose of this was to illustrate, which it does very well, that Wright is someone that is respected and some some fringe lunatic.
People have take 2 30 second soundbites and painted his entire career with it. He must have been important and respected enough (For some reason) to be invited to the WhiteHouse.
My pastor wasn’t invited to the whitehouse
Tom,
I agree with that Youtube Video. This is why I don’t see anything wrong with Wright albeit he was screaming.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSpV631xxyo&feature=PlayList&p=3897F5BF3BCD8706&index=1
I recommend everyone see the documentaries Atomic Cafe and White Light/Black Rain. The bombing of Japan was horrible. Babies burned alive, innnocent men women and children suffering horribly! Their children today are still suffering from the effects (If the could even have children). They suffer from being stigmitized as “poisened” and effectively thrown away by the japanese government. That was a complete atrocity. I don’t care if we were at war. It was a lazy evil thing to do. And the fact they test this horrible bombs on innocent islanders and their own soldiers is testament enough to the ugliness this country has perpetuated.
Economic embargos only kill/starve innocent people. Their leaders didn’t care about them anyway so to make up for their financial loss they suck it again from their people. So men, women, and babies starve to death or die in cold.
We hap hazardly spraid their own soliders with Agent Orange. This caused pyschological problems, cancers, deformaties, death. Deformaties and illnesses in their children. AND THEN the US wouldn’t give them medical care like they promised. People that risked their lives for a war that REALLY had nothing to do with us but then were treated like shit once they got home.
Iraq Veterans still have to fight for healthcare. They are still warehoused in roach and rat invested hospitals left in hallways or sometimes on floors. They can’t get mental healthcare without jumping through a bunch of hoops. Some are coming back and can’t even get their PAY!!!
sprayed
Truth,
They didn’t hide anything. The info about Wright had been out and in the news since last year. Its not the fault of the DNC that people are too stupid to make intellegent and thoughtful choices about who they want to vote for. If anything this is testimony to how people in the US practice irresponsible voting. This is exactly how George Bush got into office. People transformed him into a God or Christlike figure and were so scared of Muslims that they put this idiot in office. Prior to that. George Bush was nothing but a cocain snorting, Alcoholic that couldn’t understand the basic science DNA evidence and boasted the highest death penalty rate in the country insisting that everybody ever put on death row was guilty when right behind him hundreds of men and women were being released from Death Row for crimes they didn’t commit.
After all the months of seeing Obama strutting on the stage, and being so sure of himself…I cannot believe that the candidate of CHANGE has resorted to this kind of tactic.
He knows, “THIS IS THE END”. He won’t recover.
Joe Scarborough and msnbc are obama supporters. I thought Joe was a republican. Has Mika persuaded Joe to cross over and support obama?
Obama and his campaign are a bunch of low-lifes. If he really is about change and unity, why didn’t he start at his own church?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I thought I wqas the only one who noticed his vain strutting, head-up strut onto the stage.
You hit the nail on the head with his hypocritcal tactics. Geez, I guess he thinks we the people were born yesterday.
Obama is breeding another generation of haters and racists by allowing his daughters to attend that church.
The “clean” Obama campaign isn’t so clean, is it?
Give me a break.
Bill’s got far more unsavory friends than Wright.
Let’s see that list of library donors, Slick Willy.
Hi..Ford here in my new identity….Otrama now has an even worse problem. He is the butt of jokes…they are having a contest on the radio here in New England to see which song(bad) is the whitest….winner so far “Do You Like Pina Coladas/)..”come with me and escape”……Manilow lost by a very tiny margin(like HRC)
When radio makes fun of you in a patent ridiculous way , aren’t your 15 min. up?
Got to go get my tuna casserole in the oven and drink a glass of milk..
This article was posted on WorldNetDaily but I’m not surprised it didn’t make headlines in the MSM. Obama’s problems are not over!
Obama church published
Hamas terror manifesto
Compares charter calling for murder
of Jews to Declaration of Independence

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama’s Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group’s official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America’s Declaration of Independence.
The Hamas piece was published on the “Pastor’s Page” of the Trinity United Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose anti-American, anti-Israel remarks landed Obama in hot water, prompting the presidential candidate to deliver a major race speech earlier this week.
Hamas, responsible for scores of shootings, suicide bombings and rocket launchings against civilian population centers, is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.
The revelation follows a recent WND article quoting Israeli security officials who expressed “concern” about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.
In his July 22, 2007, church newsletter, Wright reprinted an article by Mousa Abu Marzook, identified in the publication as a “deputy of the political bureau of Hamas.” A photo image of the piece was captured and posted today by the business blog BizzyBlog, which first brought attention to it. The Hamas article was first published by the Los Angeles Times, garnering the newspaper much criticism.
According to senior Israeli security officials, Marzook, who resides in Syria alongside Hamas chieftain Khaled Meshaal, is considered the “brains” behind Hamas, designing much of the terror group’s policies and ideology. Israel possesses what it says is a large volume of specific evidence that Marzook has been directly involved in calling for or planning scores of Hamas terrorist offensives, including deadly suicide bombings. He was also accused of attempting to set up a Hamas network in the U.S.
Marzook’s original piece was titled, “Hamas’ stand” but was re-titled “A Fresh View of the Palestinian Struggle” by Obama’s church newsletter. The newsletter also referred to Hamas as the “Islamic Resistance Movement,” and added in its introduction that Marzook was addressing Hamas’ goals for “all of Palestine.”
In the manifesto, Marzook refers to Hamas’ “resistance” – the group’s perpetuation of anti-Israel terrorism targeting civilians – as “legal resistance,” which, he argues, is “explicitly supported by the Fourth Geneva Convention.”
The Convention, which refers to the rights of people living under occupation, does not support suicide bombings or rocket attacks against civilian population centers, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America noted.
Marzook refers to Hamas’ official charter as “an essentially revolutionary document” and compares the violent creed to the Declaration of Independence, which, Marzook states, “simply did not countenance any such status for the 700,000 African slaves at that time.”
Hamas’ charter calls for the murder of Jews. Among its platforms is a statement that the “[resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, and the rock and the tree will say: ‘Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, kill him!’”
In his piece, Marzook says Hamas only targets Israel and denies that Hamas’ war is meant to be waged against the U.S., even though Hamas officials have threatened America, and Hamas’ charter calls for Muslims to “pursue the cause of the Movement (Hamas), all over the globe.”
Trinity Church did not respond to a phone message requesting comment.
Obama’s campaign also did not reply to phone and e-mail requests today for comment.
Obama aide wants talks with terrorists
WND reported in January that Malley, an Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.
Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state.
Malley’s contentions have been strongly refuted by key participants at Camp David, including President Clinton, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and primary U.S. envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, all of whom squarely blamed Arafat’s refusal to make peace for the talks’ failure.
In February 2006, after Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian parliament and amid a U.S. and Israeli attempt to isolate the Hamas-run Palestinian Authority, Malley wrote an op-ed for the Baltimore Sun advocating international aid to the terror group’s newly formed government.
“The Islamists (Hamas) ran on a campaign of effective government and promised to improve Palestinians’ lives; they cannot do that if the international community turns its back,” wrote Malley in a piece entitled, “Making the Best of Hamas’ Victory.”
Malley contended the election of Hamas expressed Palestinian “anger at years of humiliation and loss of self-respect because of Israeli settlement expansion, Arafat’s imprisonment, Israel’s incursions, Western lecturing and, most recently and tellingly, the threat of an aid cutoff in the event of an Islamist success.”
Malley said the U.S. should not “discourage third-party unofficial contacts with [Hamas] in an attempt to moderate it.”
In an op-ed in the Washington Post in January coauthored by Arafat adviser Hussein Agha, Malley – using what could be perceived as anti-Israel language – urged Israel’s negotiating partner, Abbas, to reunite with Hamas.
“A renewed national compact and the return of Hamas to the political fold would upset Israel’s strategy of perpetuating Palestinian geographic and political division,” wrote Malley.
He further petitioned Israel to hold talks with Hamas.
“An arrangement between Israel and Hamas could advance both sides’ interests,” Malley wrote.
In numerous other op-eds, Malley advocated a policy of engagement with Hamas.
I agree! Have a great day.
Start with the DNC 202-863-8000.
i just called, i feel better, someone picked up and i said,
“I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR HIM.” they transferred me to someone else, and i repeated it. The gal on the other end said, thank you very much.
I assume the photo was taken before Wright made him sermon about Bill Clinton “riding dirty”?
Sorry, his sermon

There is more to come. Sean Hannity hinted the other night that there will be stories coming out about Obama’s history with William Ayers, the terrorist.
Wow,
I just listen to full sermons. They are now on YouTube and I must say SHAME on the Media, all of them. Shame Shame Shame Shame on them.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Please share the links to ALL sermons. The only one that is salvagable for Rev. Wright is the chickens coming home to roost. But none the less, he said it, blaming America again. I can’t wait to see how he came about with the Hillary and Bill Clinton ones, and the God D*mn America one. I’m sure there is more too. That’s why Obama disinvited him from his presidential run announcement.

I also heard saw that episode of Sean Hannity. I also thought he was hinting about the Sex/Drug scandal that is lingering out there.
Funny how You all are calling Obama a racist but no one ever said anything back about this Guys statement. You All are Racist pieces of shit. Obama was saying that His Grandmother was a typical white person and that even she had deep seated racial issues not that she was the typical white person one whom has racial issues. Spin this how you will, Payback is a bitch!
Cathy from PA,
They are on Youtube. I”m not going back and getting the links. They are under TrinChicago or some username like that.
But I really don’t think there is any point for you to listen to them. They won’t change your mind because you hate Barack Obama to his core and you don’t believe black people still suffer racism or that the US has killed innocent people. You won’t be able to place the snippets into the context of the entire sermon. So you might as just well just stick with what you see on Fox News.
Ask the Hypocrit Sean Hannity who Hal Turner is. His chickens are coming home to. roost. I’m so glad someone FINALLY busted him on that!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NKsDGilznY&feature=related
Sean Hannity showing he is a hypocrit again. Praising Jerry Fallwell the great man that did all these things to help peolpe but then said_ the american PEOPLE caused 9/11 to happen to them.
What does sean say - sometimes he mispeaks?
I guess what does he have to say about his Buddy Hal turner the White Supremecit Neo-Nazi? He misspoke to.
Nevermind about being
This is why YouTube is great.

For everyone talking about Rev. Wright’s God Damn America…maybe you should see this video! The whole video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvMbeVQj6Lw&feature=related
Fox is going down! Not Obama!
America’s chickens are coming home to roost…maybe you should see this video as well!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOdlnzkeoyQ&feature=related
More half-truths courtesy of Fox! They are already being inundated with these videos. Play the entire video or don’t play any of it…they are selectively picking the most inflammatory statements and preying on people’s fears!
==============================================================
If this were true, you’d give me the link, as ambitious a blogger you are. I know for sure that stating Hillary ain’t never been called a N*gger, and Clinton riding dirty while thrusting his hips statements are loud and clear. These are true. Tell me what you have to say about that. Better yet, provide the links to the full sermons.
===========================================================
Funny how this is the only full sermon Obama supporters are allowing out. Why do you think Obama didn’t back himself up with playing the whole sermons himself? That’s because the statements are full of hatred and racism for real. He’s embarassed of his pastor and doesn’t want to have to talk himself out of this again. Be real.

He continues to spew hate and racism…racism will never die because of preachers like Rev. Wright. He is a constant reminder of slavery…who knows perhaps slavery led the black man to a better life in the long run, but I know for sure, I am sick and tired of hearing about it. This is history and people are trying to move past this, and Rev. Wright just doesn’t let it go. He is a divider and that’s what he taught Obama.

Well I guess you figured. I’ll tell you, NOTHING, will erase the tone and body language of those sermons. His cockiness adds more context to the sermon than anything else. This is why people are so offended, we the people can read between the lines.

That is the very reason you will never understand! You want it to die because you don’t think it is affecting YOU! But it does have repurcussions to this day! Do you know why America is the richest country? Let me tell you…it was built on the back of slaves! 250+ years of free labor you do the math! Then factor in a hundred years of segregation and Jim Crow and there you have it! We are in the 1960’s and blacks are finally becoming full-fledge citizens. That is less than 50 years ago!
Yes slavery was a blessing in the long run to this country no doubt about it, but not to it’s black citizenry. And pretending it doesn’t have long reaching ramifications now is just plain ignorant.
Wrights speeches are in the past and lasted only mere minutes but you and the other idiots have a hard time letting go of that, so why should blacks be so ready to forget about 350 years of total bullshit!
