B. Hussein Obama's Mentor Jeremiah Wright Obama's Minister
Barack Obama's mentor, Jeremiah Wright of Trinity UCC (United Church of Christ) preaching on the notion of a black Jesus being oppressed by white people and his tirade against Hillary Clinton stating that, "Hillary ain't never been called a......
And then there is also this, it should mean trouble for Obama but since there is a double standard it probably won't:
Obama’s Controversial Pastor Puts Church in Hot Water
CHICAGO - Barack Obama’s controversial pastor and the church he’s served for 36 years may be in hot water over statements he has made from the pulpit in support of the Illinois senator’s run for the White House.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. preaches that he follows the righteous path, but when it comes to the federal tax law, his Trinity United Church of Christ may have crossed the line.
Although Wright delivered what was billed as his final sermon last month on his path to retirement, prior to his departure he delivered commentary from the pulpit now being scrutinized in which he praised Obama.
“There is a man here who can take this country in a new direction,” Wright said during his Jan. 13 sermon, according to recordings obtained by FOX News.
It was not the first time Wright appeared to endorse Obama, who was baptized at Trinity United, has been an active member of the church for two decades and receives spiritual mentorship from Wright.
The title of Obama’s second book, “The Audacity of Hope,” was taken from a sermon by Wright.
During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama’s upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans.
“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,” Wright said. “Hillary would never know that.
“Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”
In his Jan. 13 sermon, Wright said:
“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.”
FOX News purchased the video recordings of Wright’s sermons from the church.
“It’s pretty clear an indirect endorsement of Barack Obama - that’s not something you’re supposed to do according to the tax code,” said Andrew Walsh, a professor at Trinity College who specializes in religion in politics.
The tax code bans churches from participating in or intervening in a political campaign. Violations can result in the loss of a church’s tax exempt status.
The Obama campaign issued a statement in response to FOX News’ inquiries about Wright’s sermons.
“Senator Obama has said repeatedly that personal attacks such as this have no place in this campaign or our politics, whether they’re offered from a platform at a rally or the pulpit of a church,” said Bill Burton, a campaign spokesman.
“Senator Obama does not think of the pastor of his church in political terms. Like a member of his family, there are things he says with which Senator Obama deeply disagrees.”
Obama defended Wright’s longtime activism for blacks in America last week at a campaign event in Ohio.
“Jeremiah Wright … has said some things that are considered controversial because he’s considered that part of his social gospel,” Obama said.
The Internal Revenue Service wouldn’t comment on whether it is looking into potential tax violations at Trinity United. The church declined to make Wright available for an interview.
Congregant Dwight Hopkins, a professor of Theology at the University of Chicago, said there is no basis for the IRS to go after the church.
“From the church side they will say it’s theology,” said. “If it wasn’t a senator running for president and it wasn’t his church, then I think we could say all kinds of things.”
The IRS has written dozens of letters warning churches against political advocacy from the pulpit. Yet it has revoked a church’s tax-exempt status only twice in the last half-century.
Walsh said it’s not typical for the IRS to enforce the rules.
“There’s a tension here between the desires of the religious leaders to say important things in the public marketplace and the IRS rules, and so most of the time, the IRS does not enforce these rules,” Walsh said.
The public scrutiny of these sermons comes in the wake of last month’s revelation by the head of the United Church of Christ that the IRS is investigation a speech Obama gave at the denomination’s national conference last year in Connecticut.
In a certified letter, Marsha Ramirez, IRS director, EO Examinations, wrote:
“Our concerns are based on articles posted on several Web sites including the church’s which state the United States Presidential Candidate Senator Barack Obama addressed nearly 10,000 church members gathered at the United Church of Christ’s biennial General Synod at the Hartford Civic Center, on June 23, 2007. In addition, 40 Obama volunteers staffed campaign tables outside the center to promote his campaign.”
The church and the Obama campaign have denied that any inappropriate political advocacy occurred during this speech.
Wright’s sermons often address themes of white supremacy and black repression, and critics have called them racially divisive.

Wild Thing's comment........
This is one very sick minister, human being!
I don't understand hate, there are people I don't respect at all, there are people I think should go to jail or even yes be executed for treason. But I don't waste time in my heart to hate any of them. Hate like love is a strong emotion and unlike love that is a positive force, hate is destructive as much to the person it is directed upon as it is the person holding hate in their heart. Maybe it is called categorizing feelings I don't know. It is just that I say how I feel about let's say Hanoi Jane or Kerry, Murtha etc. rant about them, know what I would like done to them for punishment and then I move on. I know there is only so much I can do about my anger at them even though it runs deep within me. At the moment of a rant I can feel my blood like it is boiling, but when the rant is done my blood stops boiling till the next time. haha
My enemy is the enemy within our country. They are the ones that concern me the most. Not the terrorists you might ask? No they aren't. Sure I want to be safe and all, but we know if we had to we could shoot them if they attacked us, if the situation was such that we had a gun with us at the time. But the enemy within is killing our country, and seems bound and determined to hand it over to the followers of Islam / socialism/progressives / communism / globalize. They are my immediate enemy and that kind of fight would have to be done with strong leaders that think and believe like we do. And that is the catch 22 that drives me up a wall. Because those kind of leaders are few and far between and most certainly none of them are running for President. And there is no way anyone should do violence against this kind of enemy it would be wrong and against the law as well. It is not an enemy that can be shot no matter what.
If I was in the military I would want to be a Marine sniper. One shot, one kill no remorse. Job done and go on with what I had to do next. But this is not life in the military, this is political suicide, this death to America is something that creeps across our land in laws, and PC and protesters against those fighting to keep us safe and living in the land of the free. It is back room deals and secret talks about amnesty and how to ignore existing immigration laws.
The enemy within has their sites on our Flag and what it stands for, on what our Founding Fathers fought each other and worked so hard to make the America we have to exist. They loath our military and have lied to our Veterans with the stroke of a pen. They leave our POW's behind not by accident but intentionally as we know this has happened and is documented. They use poisons on our troops in the jungle and now too in the land of sand. Then deny their guilt and responsibility when the soldier gets home and gets sick. Making it hard as heck to get the right treatment. They scoff at rebuttals as though we are beneath them and they are the ones that live each day with hate ruling their very being just like the followers of Islam.
And just like this preacher of Obama's church, a man filled with hate, smaller then small in character and only is capable of preaching his hate instead of working to do positive things for blacks. It is easier to yell vile things then it is to teach ethics and high character and how blessed they should be to live in America. No instead it is hate the white people and cop out to being responsible human beings and citizens. "Give me give me" like Michelle Obama has talked about in her speeches.
Being a positive person I can only say to pray, pray for America, pray for our military and their families. We can be fighters, Patriots and warriors and we need to be. We should never give up on this great land, this is the best country in the entire world.It might be where we have to go through some hell and it sure seems so but we will get our chance as long as we don't give up. The enemy doesn't realize and never will, it would take a thousand of them to equal ONE of you.

This is going on in a lot of Black churches. There are a lot of "Reverand" Wrights, Sharptons, Jacksons.
Wright convienently overlooks why Obama was raised in a single parent household. He states that Obama is not priviledged. He condemns hate as he preaches hate. He preaches racism. And the congregation emotionally eats it up. The Balkanization of America grows.

What this guy wants is for the blacks to hold all the power and put us big bad whities in chains and make us slaves to them!
But if we act the way he did, we're called racist.
It's a damn double standard that NO ONE should have to live with.
Just the thought of "Oh my God, I can't say that..." for fear someone might bring you up on charges.
I don't hate skin color. Never have, never will. What I hate is bad attitude and big mouths with feet in them.
Don't talk about something you know nothing about.
Oh and it was a big bad whitie REPUBLICAN who freed their precious butts. They forget this because the dummycraps have made them forget it.
This guy is going to burn for all eternity--I guarantee it.

Why is there still racism in the United States? Because of people like this jerk. He is so full of racist crap!!! Martin Luther King is probably spinning in his grave listening to this kind of garbage!!!
He states near the end of his rantings that "...Jesus taught me how to love the hell out of my enemies and not be reduced to their level of hatred bigotry and small mindedness". Well, let's look at the definition of bigotry...."A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own". Hmmmmm....sure sounds like a racist bigot to me!!!!
And he also states that Obama isn't rich!!!! HA!!!!!! I would gladly trade his salary for mine!!!!!!!! I would say that anyone earning well over $100,000 is not poor!!!!! Yet everyone in Wright's congregation seems to eat this shit up!!!! Oh, Obama is just a poor black man that has been put down by Mr. Whitey!!! Oh Poor Poor Pitiful Me!!!!!
Everyone of these jerks need to take lessons from Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan!!! I'm not saying that Michael or Tiger haven't been treated poorly at times but I haven't heard them crying in their beer about how the white man has held them down. They have reached down to their inner strengths and determinations and made something of themselves....not on the back of someone else or playing the race card......by themselves!!!!!!!
And I'm quite sure that Jesus, whether he be black, white, pink, purple, yellow or some other color, would not approve of what Wright, Jackson, Sharpton, and all these other do-gooder preachers are doing in His name!!!!!
Holy and Merciful God..........PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE deliver us from all of this Insanity!!!!!!!!!!!

We were all worried about the coronation of Hillary. More to the point would be the Crowning of King Obama.
This preacher is nothing more than a hate monger, selling racism to whoever will listen.
And Obama has spent 20 years in his church. Is there any questions where B.Hussein Obama stands as far as who and what White people are. We are the problem as far as they are concerned, as far as Obama is concerned the White guy is the problem, and he is here to fix that problem. That is the change he is talking about.

As a white man, I long ago fulfilled my obligation to blacks. I learned, I changed, and re-thought everything. I accepted the truth, which they would also be advised to do.
Today I owe blacks nothing except the courtesies and respect one human owes to another. Nothing else, nothing based on race. Not a damnned thing. I won't sink low enough to respond to Wright and garbage like him.
If they want to follow and cheer fuckwits like Wright, let them. I learned from him that the Italians killed Jesus, which might come as a surprise to the Jews, who've been blamed for it. I learned from him that as a white, I'm racist trash for that reason alone.
I learned from him that fifty years of change unimaginable in any African country means nothing to the jackasses cheering in his congregation. If this what they want, fine.
Separatism, hatred, low achievement, supersitition and lies, rampant criminality and illegitimacy, and the perpetuation of grievance and childishness. Go for it. America is free enough to allow you to be a goddamn idiot if that's what you want.
I'll go on living just fine.

Tom, I sure am learning a lot lately about what really is happening in our country.
I went to a black church long ago to a wedding and then again the following day for the Sunday services. This was oh gosh back in the 70's and the preacher was kind and I never heard one word of hate the white people. I am thinking now that church I went to that time was unusual and not the norm.
Very disappointing and scary too. Rush Limbaugh today was talking about this and he said the 'change' Obama wants will take America back in time not forward, back in time to tons of rascism etc. If we go by what his preacher wants for America.
Posted by: Wild Thing at March 13, 2008 07:47 PM
Lynn he reminds me of that other preacher that preaches hate for our soldiers and goes to the funerals of our service members. Just a different kind of hate but the same horrible hate.

John....."Holy and Merciful God..........PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE deliver us from all of this Insanity!!!!!!!!!!!".....
I agree this is totally insane.
Posted by: Wild Thing at March 13, 2008 07:52 PM
Mark I agree, I was really worried about Hillary but I see now the one that has even more to be concerned with is Obama and his connections like to this man ( non man really he is such a jerk I hate to call this jerk a man).
Posted by: Wild Thing at March 13, 2008 07:54 PM
Rhod, your so right, I feel the same way.
