Obama Must Disavow His Dangerous Pastor and Racist Church

Update: Friday, March 14th:
By now most people have viewed the video released by ABC on Thursday of Obama's infamous race-baiting, America-hating, Black separatist mentor/pastor, “Rev”. Jeremiah Wright, calling on God to "Damn America." To view the video go to Obama’s Dilemma and Our Potential Tragedy

Original article begins here:
So Obama is the man who will unify all America? Don’t make bet on it! His continued support of his church and pastor makes a mockery of the word “unity.”

“Like a member of his family” is the way Obama refers to his good friend, pastor, and mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. Wright is the man who gives awards to the high profile head of the Nation of Islam racist and anti-Semite, Louis Farrakhan. Wright is a man full of the same racist venom as Farrakhan.

Obama tries to have it both ways saying that “there are things he(Wright) says with which Senator Obama deeply disagrees.” No there are not just a few “minor” racist “things” that Wright is saying – it’s the entire body of Wright’s constant message and that of his church.

Now the church is being investigated for violation of tax laws – and this is right and good!!!

Will the MSM call out Obama on this one? Will the pundits demand that Obama take a stand one way or another for once in his life??? Don’t make bet on it!

Read earlier articles and visit the church yourself on line and then make up your mind.

Obama’s Afro-Centric Church: A Non-Negotiable Commitment to Africa
Excerpt:
Here are the words posted on Obama’s church web page: We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black . . . We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. . .

Obama’s Marxist Liberation Theology Church
Excerpt:
. . .The black Christ is he who threatens the structure of evil as seen in white society, rebelling against it, thereby becoming the embodiment of what the black community knows that it must become. . .To be a disciple of the black Christ is to become black with him. Looting, burning, or the destruction of white property are not primary concerns. Such matters can only be decided by the oppressed themselves who are seeking to develop their images of the black Christ. . .

What Obama's Church Preaches
Excerpt:
... afrocentric in the extreme would be a gross understatement. It's not simply afrocentric, it's African-centric. In fact, one could argue that this organization worships things African to a far greater degree than they do Christ, and gives the impression of being a separatist "church" in the same vein as do certain supremacist "white brethren" churches – or even Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

Here’s are some excerpts from today’s Wall Street Journal article, Obama Pastors' Sermons May Violate Tax Laws

“On Christmas morning, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. compared presidential candidate Barack Obama's impoverished childhood to Jesus Christ's. "Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people," he then trumpeted. "Hillary [Clinton] can never know that."

Mr. Wright wasn't at a convention or a campaign stop. He was standing at the pulpit before the mostly African-American congregation of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, where Sen. Obama has worshiped for more than 20 years.

THOU SHALT VOTE FOR...

• The News: Sen. Barack Obama's Chicago church has been promoting him -- and criticizing his rival Hillary Clinton -- from the pulpit.
• The Issue: Has the church violated federal law that restricts a church's political activity?
• What's At Stake: The church's tax-exempt status and its ability to raise money.

Mr. Wright, who will be ending his 36-year tenure as the church's senior pastor in June, has previously been criticized for comments deriding President George Bush and lauding Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. Now Mr. Wright's and his successor's repeated enthusiastic promotion of their famous parishioner may be running afoul of federal tax law, which says churches can endanger their tax-exempt status by endorsing or opposing candidates for public office.

Sen. Obama's campaign issued a statement saying that he has repeatedly stressed that personal attacks "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." The statement also said he "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.'' Mr. Wright declined to comment. . .

From the Pulpit
Some of the sermons mentioned Sen. Clinton or her husband in unflattering ways. During that Christmas morning sermon, Mr. Wright declared that Hillary Clinton "ain't had to work twice as hard just to get accepted by the rich white folk who run everything or to get a passing grade when you know you are smarter than that 'C' student sitting in the White House." On Jan. 13, Mr. Wright told the Trinity congregation that some people say, "'Hillary is married to Bill and Bill [has] been good to us.'" Mr. Wright continued, "No, he ain't!" Sen. Clinton's campaign didn't respond to requests for comment. . ."
