Obama's Church Accuses Media Of Character Assassination

The Chicago church attended by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) issued a statement Sunday contending that coverage of his pastor's inflammatory statements amounted to character assassination and "an attack on ... the history of the African American church."

Obama condemned inflammatory statements by the church's retiring pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., after they circulated on YouTube last week and were played repeatedly by cable news channels.

Wright, condemning society as racists, said, "God [expletive] America" and referred to the "U.S. of KKK-A."

The statement begins: "Nearly three weeks before the 40th commemorative anniversary of the murder of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.'s character is being assassinated in the public sphere because he has preached a social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe."

Well.... there is still the matter of who is going to pay for it... etc........etc....... and everyone has to agree on this and that......... but definitely a step in the right direction..... They are talking June 3........ which is good.... but watch..... as much as everyone wants Hillary to drop out.. i bet she does like five days before.... LOL!

But Hillary looked pale when she had to respond to the question of how she felt about it... I think it is sinking in that she has lost....

He's going to try to wow them with a speech on race.

It won't work.

The essential questions cannot be answered because they would decimate his campaign if answered in the only honest way that makes sense and makes everything fall into place.

It's just a big ole gigantic race card.

He's going to play the mother-of-all-times guilt trip card.

Can I just say, this weekend was a huge turning point for Obama DESPITE the Hillary-pushed Rev. Wright crap.

Obama gained a net 13 delegates against Hillary thanks to CA and IA finalizing of their primaries (he also picked up another Wyoming SD). If Hillary won PA by 10-15% she'd gain about that many Dels. So PA is irrelevant (along with all the racists there Rendell happily mentioned). Then it's on to IN and NC which total more dels than PA and favor Obama.

AND

Nancy Pelosi made clear that the leadership in the DNC will back the candidate with the most delegates, period. Not popular vote (even though Obama will likely retain that too), Big States or arguments that Obama hasn't passed Hillarys BS thresholds. Richardson said the same thing before TX and OH so you know what's going on behind the scenes.

Aside from Obama being abducted by aliens, he's pretty much got this nom sealed. This is very cool!

I wonder if Hillary is going to bring up the sermon J. Wright gave, during the next debate. I don't mean it will form a part of the questions, but I suppose that when answerring some question or other, she could just slip it in.
In a response, Hillary could say "Blah, blah, blah---why, a perfect example of what I mean, is that sermon Senator Obama's pastor gave--- last January wasn't it?---blah, blah, blah."

For the benefit of the Repub trolls who are so busy trying to connect Obama to Rev. Wright, some background on your candidates BIG problems with Preachers including writing off the votes of Cathoics:

"Hard-line conservative Pastor John Hagee, founder of Christians United for Israel, endorsed John McCain. Hagee said that McCain "is a man of principle, [who] does not stand boldly on both sides of any issue." McCain, who had been courting the endorsement for over a year, said that he was "very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement.".

"McCain's acceptance of Hagee's endorsement was condemned today by conservative William Donohue, president of the Catholic League. Calling Hagee a "bigot," Donahue said the right-wing pastor has waged "an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church" by "calling it 'The Great Whore,' an 'apostate church,' the 'anti-Christ,' and a 'false cult system.'"

That's only fair. You can't have one candidate in hot water for what his pastor said and have another candidate NOT in hot water for snatching the endorsement of ANOTHER pastor, especially if what the endorsing pastor said was worse than what the other pastor said.
It just isn't right.

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 02:13 AM on 03/17/2008

Actually, it is shit, as Wright's comments and beliefs are perfectly acceptable in a free America that tolerates dissent, while Hagee is a plain racist shithead.

The two are as different as chalk and cheese. But I take adlib's point.

Pardon? McCain's "hot water" is a supporter.

Obama's is his mentor.

Hardly comparable.

The hypocricy of those who blasted McCain, such as Huff, has completely pulled the covers on the illusion of journalistic integrity.

This is obvious.

KOS conceded this today.

Soon, Huff will be forced to do so, too.

Neither site, in my opinion, will survive the election.

In case anybody here cares about actual facts and stuff, Senator Obama's campaign has already stated that he was not in Chicago the day the reporter says he was there, but in Miami giving a speech.

I took literally TWO seconds of my time to google "Obama Miami July" to find...that he was indeed in Miami speaking the La Raza Convention on July 22, the supposed date of the sermon.

I do feel for some Clinton supporters because they are always complaining about bias but I don't see it. If somebody says something untrue about one's candidate it is one's duty as a blogger to correct the record.

Lack of clarity on my part. Mea culpa. The attacks are happening over on the Kos, I believe, by blog writers there, possibly posters too. One group attacking---but her word was abusing---the other group. It's a little vague in parts. Except for the part about Clinton-hating.

If Obama was going to be toast he would have been toast a long time ago after the Rezko nonsense. Obama is toast because his pastor said something Obama doesn't agree with? Pleeeeeeease.

I am sure there is nothing more Hannity would want than for Obama to quite the race and claim it was all him. If you want to torpedo his candidacy you better catch him with a whore/prostitute or something.

I wonder if Bill ever said anything outrageous? Either as president or while campaigning this year? Should Hillary be held responsible because she did not divorce him for it?

Wonder if those Catholic hating and muslim hating preachers McCain is holding hands with should be held against him (actually, yes, since he has not rejected their views).

If you are the Repub trolls you appear to be, explain about McCain and his preachers first before getting all excited over Obama's connections to his...you ridiculous hypocrites.

According to the Clinton and Republican trolls we should be taking note of every non issue, because it's the one that's going to FINISH him - NAFTA, Sinclair, Muslim, subcommittee chairmanship, Rezko, Farrakhan, Wright... I'll be glad when this primary is over. I need a rest from all the false melodrama.

I think NAFTA did hurt him because his camp did not do a good job to clear it up sooner and he should have been a little more cautious in his initial response.

He was made to look like a liar and he could not correct the record soon enough. I don't think some of those idiotics helped either.

OK, here's the big "breakthrough" that cmrinc and his sidekick indpendentwhatever are talking about from the prestigious "newsmax";

"Presidential candidate Barack Obama preaches on the campaign trail that America needs a new consensus based on faith and bipartisanship, yet he continues to attend a controversial Chicago church whose pastor routinely refers to "white arrogance" and "the United States of White America."


In fact, Obama was in attendance at the church when these statements were made on July 22."

-----

So, when they say "Obama was in attendance at the church when these statements were made ", those staement are the following:

1. "white arrogance" and
2"the United States of White America."


Is that your big fucking breakthrough story? Go get a life, clowns.

He wasn't there on the days in question. The 9-11, the Clinton N****** and the KKK stuff. He has admited in the past that he has heard some things that he disagrees with so I am guessing what HumeSceptic astutely dug up might be the extent of it.

Hume, stay sceptical. You are a fine blogger.

I'm as white a new fallen snow, and I endorse those two statements.

How it is that blacks have not risen up in bloody insurrection, and I mean in a big way, remains a mystery.

tsk tsk Hume... getting all riled up and not paying attention to 'Obama is your jesus'candidates's own words?

Think about it. have a latte , it may come to you. YOUR very own messaih said this guys uses racists language, anti american language he despises right? so your messiah has concluded like us that indeed the pastor uses such language ...

he said he was never present at the pew ANYTIME when all such comments ( includes, racists, anti american blah blah) were ever mentioned.

are you now trying to say that If your remove the word white and put black in it's place , it would not be viewed as racists , given!! we have established this pastor's hate speeches?
So when he saying white this and white that... what the heck do you think he doing? spewing more racial harmony?

You seem to having a bad meltdown. I don't have a "messiah". Obama was my fourth choice. Hillary was always the last (ninth).

I support Obama just because he is a lot better thn Hillary, which is not saying mauch, I know.

There is nothing racist in those comments. Look up the word. You seem very confused.

If you remove the word White and put Black, it would be absurd and hilarious, but still not racist. Again, you don't seem to know the meaning of the word.

Now, try to relax. I know that meltdowns can do strange things to people. I'm concerned about your health, little trollie.

Obama was in MIAMI on that day ...

http://www.nclr.org/content/news/detail/47475/

He spoke at La Raza's National Convention that day at 1:30 pm (12:30 central time) ... Clinton also spoke to them earlier that day.

So funny, you pathetic racist trolls. Obama will continue to win precisely because the public is sick of these freak shows you try to turn elections into.

We don't want Rovian politics anymore, we want change and there's only one candidate who can bring it.

You think Reagan and Bill Clinton were Teflon Presidents? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Your type slimed Max Cleland, a paraplegic war veteran as a traitor to this country, overturned democracy to get Bush elected, exploited 9/11 and fear to get Bush re-elected, we've got your number.

We don't believe in guilt-by-association, the same tactics employed by your Senator Joseph McCarthy to destroy the lives of many innocent people.

We're not falling for your BS, don't you see Hillary losing despite her slimy attacks? Why do you think that is? We care about the REAL issues that affect our lives, health care, Iraq, the economy, global warming and so on. We don't care about the slime you try to get us to focus on.

Rev. Wright is an individual, he is not Obama. This whole "controversy" is meaningless to Dems, Indies and Repubs that support and will continue to vote for Obama (in case you haven't been keeping track, the last election held he won by 23% even after being unmercifully attacked by Hillary in this same way).

Obama will be the Dem nominee and in January 2009, he will be YOUR president, so howl at the moon like the jackals you are, you'll learn what the rest of us know very soon, that you are fools on a fool's errand.

Obama has a 172 delegate lead. He is favored for a majority of the remaining states and delegates. Explain how Hillary will change the laws of mathematics to win.

You are the one who's dreaming. Facts are like Kkyptonite to Hillary supporters like you.

No, Obama has won 13 more dels from CA and IA settling their elections, more than enough to offset a Hillary win in PA of 10 - 15%.
