Obama Condemns Pastor Wright, but Questions Remain

In Obama’s “repudiation” it contained both condemnation but also praise for the racist minister calling him his “Old Uncle”, Imagine a white guy making that kind of reference. I don’t believe Obama went far enough in distancing himself from the R…

Rev. Jeremiah Wright Leaves Obama Campaign

This controversy isn’t over with Rev. Wright’s departure from the Obama campaign. Senator Obama must explain his relationship with Wright. Why? Because for twenty years, Barack Obama attended Trinity United…

Obama’s Pastor Leaves Campaign

Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor for 20 years, has been cast east of Obama’s campaign Eden after several embarrassingly hateful videos have surfaced. This cuts Obama’s official ties to Wright, but it doesn’t explain Obama’s long term connection to …

are looking closest at the Jeremiah Wright – Barack Obama relationship are fairly uniform in their considered judgment that Barack Obama is not being honest in his comments about his 20 years of close political and “spiritual” association with the…

[…] As expected, Obama’s defenders have whipped out the moral equivalence card. Sister Toldjah puts the m.e. card through the shredder and adds: By the way, I’m calling Barack Obama out on the outrageous lie he told today about not being present in Wright’s church when he made the offensive hateful remarks that have been circulating in the news media this week. As I said earlier, this is like Al Gore’s “iced tea” defense – and similar Bill Clinton’s stupid claim that he “didn’t inhale” a joint when he had one in his mouth. There is absolutely no way in you know where that in his 20 year association/mentorship/friendship with Rev. Wright that he never heard any of Wright’s controversial sermons. BO remarked tonight that had he heard any of them, he would have stood up and told Wright that what he was saying was “unacceptable” and went on to say that had he detected a “pattern” with Rev. Wright’s hateful sermons, he would have left the church. GMADB! He knew. He’s pulling the same ol â€˜okey doke’ (see definition 3) that he slams “Washington insiders” for doing. […]

[…] Sister Toldjah questions the excuse in which she reminds us all of Gore’s ice tea defense: That’s BO’s version of the iced tea defense. We’re supposed to believe in his 20 year friendship/mentorship with Rev. Wright, not once, not ever, did Barack Obama ever hear anything remotely close to what’s been quoted as being said by Wright in the news. Keep in mind that one of the hallmarks of Wright’s “social gospel” philosophy – in fact his entire being – is an emphasis on “black power” – again, which sounds something you’d hear from the Black Panthers. Yet not once did Wright ever utter anything of the sort in front of Barack Obama. Either Wright figures BO has virgin ears, or BO is feeding us a load. I vote for the latter option. […]

Obama and the Rev Wright: Association and Influence concerns prompt repudiation and strategic withdrawal

To me the title really details the critical point of the issue. The story starts with Obama’s church. The leader Rev Wright is a fire and brimstone pulpit pounder, but not the usual sort. Imagine if Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Louis …

I am a Conservative. However, if the Democrats are to have any chance of winning the election this Fall the party has two (or perhaps three) options: 1. get on the same page and end the “civil war”, 2. push only BO, or 3. offer a write-in candidate.
BO must (unlike Gore in the Ice Tea Defense) tell the truth and strongly condemn Pastor’s remarks (first in a private meeting). If Rev. Moss holds the same position as Rev. Wright, the Obama family would be wise to find a new church home!

Doc J,
The truth is Obama knew about Rev. Wright’s radical views all the time. Probably agreed with most of them. Remember, he and his wife were just coming off a prolonged indoctrination (college) and they both found the reverend’s views were in line with their own.
Obama has no choice- he has to continue to lie. The truth is a death knell to his political career. But it is an eternity to the Convention. I don’t think he’s going to hold out. Maybe the crazy uncle will say something that will put the final nail in the coffin. Michelle has been very quiet lately.
