Obama, Wright, Farrakhan, Together on 2006 Church Newsletter Cover
-By Warner Todd Huston
My friend Tom Blumer over at the bizzyblog found an interesting image showing an advertisement that appeared in the February 12, 2006 edition of the Trinity United Church of Christ’s newsmagazine, The Trumpet. It depicts Barack Obama along with other — um, shall we say “notable”? — folks like Louis Farrakhan, the racist Reverend Wright, and Elijah Muhammad (founder of the nation of Islam, the extremist branch that Farrakhan now heads up). These faces appear on a purportedly Christian Church’s newsmagazine.
It makes one wonder, if all the way back in 2006 Barack was on the cover of a magazine with Farrakhan, Wright and Muhammad, how can he claim he never knew of the extremist views of his “spiritual mentor” the racist Rev. Wright? It stretches credulity that Obama could have been so long oblivious of what was going on in his own church. doesn’t it? To be coupled with Farrakhan and Muhammad like that? It would be absurd to imagine that they put Obama’s face on the magazine without his knowledge and approval, wouldn’t it?
As Tom says about the extremist bent of Trinity United and Wright: what did Obama know and WHEN did he know it?

Ok. This is getting petulant. I have written extensively on my blog regarding race relations in america. I am very surprised that they did not include Dr Martin Luther King, Andrew Young, Or Joseph Lowery. I feel that there is alot of race-bating that is happening and it is getting more and more apparent. My post, Will Whites Vote for Obama and why do we need to still ask this question?, goes into question about why we still have these issues. My second post, Man, Before McCain says anything about Rev. Wright & Ayers, illustrates that McCain has G.Gordon Liddy in his corner. The third post, The media event of Reverand Wright, goes into detail about the situation. This is being used as a tool to stir negative race relations, and it is just simply out of step and just an old thing to do.

I don’t understand how people keep dismissing these disturbing, blatant facts about Obama. as if they are nothing. Obama pretends that he didn’t know how his teacher of 20 years and campaign appointed spiritual advisor felt about America and whites… He claimed we all took it out of context at first. He said we misinterpreted the soundbytes like “GOD D@MN AMERICA” and pulled them out of context. So the media and all of the Obamites ignored it like it was no big deal. Then when Wright came out and said the exact same things about America - and we all got to see the real context… Obama had change his story. Now all of a sudden - what Wright said was repulsive to Obama even though he had been willfully embracing it for 20 years. Then Obama pretended that he was unaware of the fact that his church gave Farrakhan a lifetime award - and that Wright praises Farrakhan to no end - even featuring him on the church’s magazine covers with Obama. And Obama claims that he was just oblivious to it all. How stupid does Obama think Americans are? Well - apparently he was “wright” about a lot of them. A lot of Americans genuinely have no qualms about the known fact that the man who Obama called his mentor for 20 years was preaching racist. These people still call Obama a UNITER. Obama sat there applauding and donating thousands of dollars to Wright to keep on preaching his racist hatred for whites and America. !!!!!!! But what do the Obamites say about this – “Oh – no big deal.” Is it a big deal that Obama launched his political campaign at a terrorists house? Yep - he had his “coming out” party at William Ayers house - the guys who bombed the pentagon and other federal bulidings back in the 70’s… Brush that one off too… Yeah - it is no biggie… Obama must just like terrorists and people who despise America. He’s a GREAT choice for President.
