Soooo, the pushback has started and its more pathetic then anticipated. Basically comes down to “your all racists for pointing out the hate”
“AN ATTACK ON OUR SENIOR PASTOR AND THE HISTORY OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH”:
Chicago, Ill. (March 15, 2008 ) — 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.
I don’t think I have heard one, not ONE, complaint about his work to better the lives of those “oppressed” folks. No, what we’re complaining about is the fact he uses racism to blame it all on the “US of KKK,” or his hateful conspiracy charges like, for example, the charge that our government knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor and did nothing about it so we could go kill those non-whites. Lets throw in the charge that the white man infected black men with syphilis on purpose or that the United States is the same as al-Qaeda, we just operate under a “different color flag.”
Lets not forget “God bless America?”…..”God damn America!”
This man did nothing but do his best to divide this nation and Obama swooned with the rest of the congregation.
During the 36-year pastorate of Dr. Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ has grown from 87 to 8,000 members. It is the largest congregation in the United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination.
So what? Because 8,000 people like to immerse themselves in hate, somehow, someway, this is some sort of excuse?
“It saddens me to see news stories reporting such a caricature of a congregation that has been such a blessing to the UCC’s Wider Church mission,” said the Rev. John H. Thomas, UCC general minister and president, in a released statement. “ … It’s time for us to say ‘No’ to these attacks and declare that we will not allow anyone to undermine or destroy the ministries of any of our congregations in order to serve their own narrow political or ideological ends.”
Destroy the ministries? No one is doing any such thing. We are vetting a man who wants to become the leader of the free world. You continue to swill the hate as much as you and the congregation wants, but you better bet your ass if a member of that hateful congregation wants to become President, its going to be an issue.
Moss added, “The African American Church was born out of the crucible of slavery and the legacy of prophetic African American preachers since slavery has been and continues to heal broken marginalized victims of social and economic injustices. This is an attack on the legacy of the African American Church which led and continues to lead the fight for human rights in America and around the world.”
Healing “victims” is to God damn America? To throw around conspiracy charges akin to the twoofers? This is healing?
Sheesh….
What an embarrassing defense.
Meanwhile Ace got a tip that Michelle Obama may have been in the pews during this sermon in which:
he delivers his “America’s chickens are comin’ home… to roost” line with such relish and enjoyment there is no question whatsoever he’s a fan of 9/11. There is simply no other way to read his vengeful, hateful, delighted tone.
You tell me he doesn’t sound positively orgasmic over the payback 9/11 represents in his mind
And finally, wonders of wonders, Obama has started to erase any mention of Wright on his website.
