More Video of Obama’s Pastor Jeremiah Wright
Obama’s former pastor says media exploited him
MILFORD, Conn.
Barack Obama’s former pastor complained Thursday that the media used him as a “weapon of mass destruction” in an attempt to derail Obama’s campaign for the presidency.
Speaking at a forum about race and religion, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright accused the media of taking out of context videos that showed him cursing the government and accusing it of conspiring against blacks from the pulpit of the Chicago church where Obama had worshipped for 20 years.
The videos, which included Wright thundering “God damn America!”, dominated cable television for weeks. The public outrage that followed caused the president-elect to sever ties with his longtime spiritual leader.
Wright told an audience of about 200 people at the forum that he was trying to convey the anger and desire for vengeance that people felt after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He said the media failed to mention that he was a proud Christian who was raised in a Christian home.
“Their intention was to use me as a weapon of mass destruction, to tear down that man’s integrity,” said Wright, former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
LOL well he did as he was told by Obama and waited till after the election. Will be have a weekend at the White House now?
Oh sure, he was exploited. Right. And I have a slightly used dog poop bridge over the Missouri River to sell cheap.
Wright is a hateful, spiteful man with no morals.
I can’t believe he was a Marine! My father was a Marine and a damn fine better man than Rev Wright!
He’s his own WMD. No one has to “use” him. He does well enough just opening his mouth.
Wondering: will he say the opening prayers for the House and/or Senate?
Lordy, Ain’t all this “unity” and loooove wonderful??
Anybody see any unicorns yet? Cuz all I’ve been seeing are miserable-looking a$$es so far. But then I’m not a believer and fully expect to end up in The zerO!’s reeducation camp for a nice holiday someday soon.
I look for Wright to lead the inaugural prayer.
Will Wright still hate the US government under Obama?
We are looking now at four years of a very glitzy and bad circus for America. The government should not be a circus but we are going to see a clash of many megaegotistic personalities. It will be like vultures fighting over carrion. We taxpayers and responsible citizens are the carrion.
Ah, the Sun is setting and the old leopard is sneaking out of the shadows. Exploited!!! Hell he hardly got any attention from the MSM beyond attempts to squelch his exposure, it was the backdoor media that stayed on focus here in spite of the MSM’s attempt to make his statements into some sort of moral equivalence of his being a pious statesman in the ‘Church. At this stage he’s back as a tool to stir up sentiment for censorship toward Fox and those individuals who kept this Anarchist and his association with the Devil at the forefront of the campaign. Listen to the vehemence in his message and compare it to that of Hugo Chavez or Amahjinedad, with the blindfold on it’s hard to detect who is delivering the message.
Now that his boy got elected what is he going to use to trash America ?
I saw him on Fox the other day they were reviewing an interview he gave to some other network and he was very subdued. I almost think he was planning on obama losing. But this way he has no new ammo to blast the United States.
It’s amazing how many Obama Kool-Aid drinkers, including the Messiah himself, buy into this crap of denying their own words and deeds. It is something like the story about the emperor not having any clothes. In this case, Rev. Jeremiah Wright doesn’t have a shred of patriotic or non-racist clothes on him. He can’t hide his bigoted nakedness and hatred of the country.

Lynn, I find it hard to believe he was a Marine too and in his case I do mean was. He does not get to say once a Marine always a Marine. No way not for J. Wright or Murtha either.
Yankeemom, good way to put it he sure is……”He’s his own WMD”.
BobF, Oh noooooooooooooo, you might be right, I sure hope not.
Come now ‘Cossacks For Change’ for Adolf Hitler exploited the Brits Lord Chamberlain too and even signed a PEACE TREATY before the Blitzkrieg began, ja vol? Da? And the world bought it, except for Winston Churchill!
Tom, you know what that would be a really great title for an article someone should use that writes for magazines or online things. Like Townhall or something.
“Will Wright still hate the US government under Obama?”
Jack, DITTO that…..
” blindfold on it’s hard to detect who is delivering the message.”
Mark, I really agree, I think he is in shock that Obama one. Oh nooooooooo did I say that, so am I, does that mean I am thinking like Wright. hahaa No honestly I bet J. Wright like you said never thought Obama would win.
“I almost think he was planning on obama losing. But this way he has no new ammo to blast the United States.”
Les, yes, that is funny, the other day Nicholas said Obama is the emperor not having any clothes. If he stood there naked CNN and MCNBC would be telling us what a great shirt and tie and suit he had on.
Darth, God bless Churchill.
