Wright makes waves, again

Obama listened to this bigot for years..and had no problem with that.
People who voted for Obama should be ashamed. He is a disgrace to the office of President and a failure...as we slump toward communism

Racist!! Just calling a Spade a Spade!!!

Of course, the comments here are light because Obama tefflon is the fastest tefflon in political history. Jeremiah Lite (I mean Wright) is an embarsement to the name of Christ and the good people in America.

I'm glad the Globe sanitized Mr. Wrights comments. He seems much less racist in this article, compared to the MSN.com one. I feel better when the the truth doesn't comes out.

Humm, the MA liberals are quiet on this one. Your hearing is very selective when your own brethren are bonified hate mongers and racists. That's your Presidents minister, nice example eh?

Why is rev. Wright so angry and flustered? What happened to "forgiving our debtors"?

I am not talking about all jews, just those in Isreal. It was taken out of context. I guess he thinks we are as stupid as the people who attend his church. Talk about a convention of racists and antisemites.

With all the anti-Semitism that Obama is showing around the world, is it safe to say that Obama did listen to Wright's sermons?
Or can we assume that Michelle is filling his head with this hate?

He is nuts, but that shouldn't have an impact on what everybody wants to do to Obama. Obama had to join some church in his district and the decision is usually made based on which on can supply the most influence in the community and get out the vote. Most intelligent politicians are Atheists even though they pay lip service to delusional-ism and institutionalized superstition because the sorry electorate demands it. Obama just ended up settling for one that was more inane and insane than the rest. He may actually believe in religion, but just seems too bright to buy that pile of bilge.

Oh...okay...phew...I thought this guy could be a racist!
Man I'm glad he clarified himself.

Rev. Wright is not out of line with the rest of what I've heard from the UCC nationally and locally for two decades. He's just more overtly in your face about it.

Doesn't surprise me. Obama is a racist as he sat in Rev.Wright's church for 20 years and never objected to the racist hate Wright spewed and now he is attempting to appoint a racist to the Supreme Court.

Who is Rev Wright kidding, a matter of ignorant sematics, as long as I've been on the planet, I don't know of any Zionist who was also Jewish, you can't have one without the other. He must think we're stupid!!!!

Liberals are the biggest racists out there.

Well America, now your chickens have come home to roost in the person of Rev. Wright and his protege, B.H. Obama. This is what you voted for? Via la revolution!

I have been to Trinity UCC on the South Side of Chicago and learned much of its history and vital ministry. I know Jeremiah Wright has been formative in the growth of that church and the renovation of the South Side through a commitment to education, service, core identity and lofty expectations of their members. I know they have underwritten the full cost of seminary education for hundreds of "pastors in training" so they are not burdened by debt when they go on to serve. And I know their leadership has a strong history of social justice ministry and a passion for mission to improve the human condition. I'm also aware of the full text of the sermon that keeps producing the "G/D America" sound byte. He was preaching from the Prophet Jeremiah where he was summoning God's wrath down upon his own people for their lack of faithfulness and injustice. It was an injustice that JW equated with our own political decisions that have had dire consequences in the not so distant past.
What I find troubling has nothing to do with that quote. Rather, it has everything to do with what I perceive as JW's ego getting in the way. He had a strong hand in shaping President Obama's Christian social consciousness. But "ego" craves the limelight and "seeks the credit." I don't know what motivates this behavior and it surely detracts from a very important ministry he has shared. Recent statements are embarrassing and the President's distancing reflects what I feel is his good judgment for those views do not represent his own. Many times we comment reactively with limited regard for the context of a statement. This obscures rather than enhances understanding.

I believe Rev. Wright is referring primarily to Joe Biden and Rahm Emanuel and their affiliations. VP Biden mentioned in an interview on Shalom tv that he is a Zionist. Rahm Emanuels father was a member of the Irgun, a Zionist terrorist group in Israel in the 30's and 40's. Its a political group, not necessarily a religion as Wright clarifies. Most Zionists obviously would be Jewish though.

The Globe didn't sanitize Wright's comments. In fact, quoting his "clarification" has clarified that Wright's previous protestations that his statements were taken out of context were. regretfully, irrelevant. I say "regretfully" because his speeches and sermons going back in time really COULD validly have been construed in both positive and negative ways. But whatever Rev. Wright may have meant in the --past,-- what he means --now-- can be construed ONLY as being incredibly rotten.

Rev. Wright missed his calling as a stand up comic. He actually is very funny and entertaining. And the truly ironic thing is that the style of much of his "schtick" is so reminiscent of a stereotypical New York Jew!

Where are the stories about David Letterman joking about the rape of Sarah Palin's 14 year old daughter? Funny how the Boston Globe does not consider it newsworthy when a liberal spews hate speech.

Where is the story about David Letterman joking about raping of children?
Where is the story of Pvt Long who was murdered by an Islamic terrorist last week?
Why is the Boston Globe blocking these stories?

To all the right wing posters here. First, I will not defend this pastor, he is nuts. Second, I had a pastor when I was little in Danvers, ma. come to find out, many years later, he was a pedophile. Does that make me a pedophile? Just saying!

What are we doing to ensure Obama is not reelected? Will I be called "racist" for hating him?

He is a racist. We have no room for him anywhere, even in the news. Then to top it off, BHO went to his church for 28 years. Of course there is no connection. I am not that dumb, puullleeeezzzz. Get Deval down there too into the DC area. Together we can.

Why is it that President Obama is surrounded by radical people and no one seem's to find a connection there?

If you knee-jerk, right-wing ditto heads wanna play the blame game, then stand up squarely & proudly to take credit (or blame) for the "exemplary" Life & deeds of Nazi monster, James von Brunn!

In truth, your ignorant remarks do more to make you look every bit as bigoted & spiritually crippled as Rev. Wright, rather than in any way superior to him!

I think Rev. Wright has courage beyond measure. His brash words seem to be all people can hear. I think its quite humorous people want to raise up about him being a bigot, our past president that I'm sure most of you twits voted for was a bigot and a Stupid bigot at that.
The only reason why people are upset is because he is speaking about the other side of things that the world wants to ignore.
Americas ties to the Zionist etc. is a relationship that needs to be revised and deeply looked into.
Gain Knowledge people don't go by what the idiot box tells you.

Jeff,

That's because most liberals are fraud intellectuals who relish in feel good fantasy beliefs rather than facts. They are the most intolerant, racist, bigoted people but cannot possibly see that because they truly are "enlightened progressives".

This is what the racists Rev Wright preaches and what BHO listened to for 20yrs. BHO even signed the Black Theology Doctrine.

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
