FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright

I was going to post this video on another thread, but I didn't want it to be missed. We've heard all the spin about Reverend J. Wright's (Obama's pastor) sermon after September 11. I had just about lost faith in Obama's judgement like so many others until I stumbled upon this video. I certainly had to repent last night for judging others after I heard what Wright had said before and after the snipit that played over and over on television. It was POWERFUL!

It was a shame that the mediia chose to take Wright's words out of context in order to create strife among the public and to help form doubt on a man of integrity. This video will surely cause everyone to see that they were played by the media just like me.

Re: FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright

Does that mean you are going to discount the plethora of racial comments made by Wright that have been documented over the past 20 years. One cannot deny his anti-semtic actions by embracing Louis Farakhan. One cannot deny Wright has made racially charged statements that would make Don Imus look like Billy Graham. Wright, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Farakhan want us to believe the black man is still a victim. If we could quarantine about a dozen of the so-called black leaders, 95% of the race problems would be eliminated.

I'm tired of being told I need to be color blind while the blacks are being told the white man is to blame for their failures. Wright needs to teach blacks how to rise above mediocrity instead of blaming white people for their lack of success.

Someone needs to tell Wright it is not the white man's fault a a high percentage of black men father children out of wedlock. Someone needs to tell the naacp it's not the white man's fault a lot of black kids are in single parent homes.

Blacks need successful role models like JC Watts, Clarence Thomas. Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, TD Jakes, Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder. These are a few of many blacks who rose above their situations and became the best. These people transcend race. These people have made Martin Luther King Jr's dream a reality.

Re: FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright

He is quoting an Ambassador in this chickens to roost comment....

He makes a powerful point about America's indignant approach .... to terrorism ...

His point was violence begets violence .... context is important ...

I will not excuse may of his other quotes but it would be interesting to hear the context of his other quotes ...

Lastly we know that the Clintons have called the Manguns their pastor ....

I wonder what would happen if one got some Mangun quotes ... and made a montage ... if he could be painted as a fanatic ....

This idea that we are going to hold our politicians fully accountable for the words of their pastors will not fly.

Re: FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright

His "God ************ America" is in context of all govt's rising and falling .... German, Japanese, British ... etc.

Strong words and not appropriate but they add context to the statement ...

Re: FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright

The language no doubt still remains inflammatory ... but how is it different with Kenneth Phillips preaching on the urban legend of Operation Shekinah ... or Irvin Baxter making recent American legislation acts in cohoots w/ the Anti-Christ ...

I am wary of preachers talking politics from the pulpit ... but I know I've heard many a preacher say that God will judge America for it's sins.

Amen

Oh and don't forget Bill Cosby. Not only is he funny but he doesn't support casting blame on others for your own problems.

I noticed that Wright had to mention that he saw 'Black' people jumping to certain death in that clip. Most white or hispanic ministers I know would have just mentioned people jumping to certain death.
Racism needs to be ended. 1st: laws giving someone special rights because of color, gender, sexual orientation, or some other form of minority standing has to be done away with. 2nd: groups that are allowed to use race or gender as a means of funding those partictular persons in college have to be ended. 3rd: forcing hiring practices onto employers that make them choose a person based on race or gender if you have two that are equally qualified and one is black and one is white or one is male and one is female has to be stopped. 5th: probably most importantly lawyers and ministers who make their living from the race card or minority card has got to be stopped.
Our liberal government wants to keep all these things going because they are HUGE money makers. People like Jackson, Nader, Sharpton, Farakhan are making BIG money off of these type of SCAMS.
When we all realize, most of all our government, that we are all people and we all should be treated the same based on the fact that we are HUMAN, not based on rather we are black, white, red, yellow, male, or female. All our law makers add on these rights for people based on race or gender as if our Constitution excluded them. Sorry to inform you but I saw nothing in the Constitution that excluded someone because of race or gender.
You are not African American just because you are black and born in America. You are American. I am not Anglo American or Euro American. I am AMERICAN. Sorry Native Americans but you no longer have a coner on the market. I am born and raised American. You may have had ancestors here long before I did but as of now I am an AMERICAN I deserve the same rights as you.
I am not against Blacks, Native American, Hispanics, or any other group. I am not against women. I believe we are all people, we are all Americans, we all have the same rights and should all be giving the same opportunities.
We as Christians, if you don't like the term just replace it with Apostolic or Pentecostal whichever floats your boat, need to start LOVING as GOD loved. Live like we love Him as much as we say we do and maybe, just maybe, it might start to spread around to the rest of the people.
Unfortunately even in our own ranks we can not get along or love each other. One group will not fellowship another because they cut their hair, they have a televison, they wear rings and necklaces, or the women wear pants. What was the 4Him song? 'Basics of Life' ? That's what we need,
"We need to get back to the basics of life. A heart that is pure and a love that is blind. A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ"
The thing that binds us should be our belief in One God, Baptism in Jesus name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. Let everyone then seek out their own salvation with fear and trembling. If you come to a higher understanding of something than I do then good for you. If you share it with me and I do not understand it or see the same SO WHAT? We are still brothers and sisters in Christ. I do not agree with my natural family about EVERYTHING so why should I agree with my spiritual family about EVERYTHING?

Hope I made some sense. Thanks for letting me get on my soap box for a few moments. We can go back to our normally scheduled program at this time.

Re: FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright

Comparing Mangun to Wright does not apply here.
1. Mangun was not on any Clintion staff. Wright was on Obama's staff.

2. The Clintons were not married @ POA... Chelsea wasn't baptized @ POA.

3. Clintons relationships with Manguns were based upon childhood friendships w/Mickey Mangun. Obama selected the church Wright pastored.

The reason why this is a big deal is because Wright's prominent position on Obama's presidential staff. Although Wright no longer is on the staff, serious questions must be raised why someone who made racists and anti-semetic comments is allowed a prominent position on the staff on someone who claims to be a uniter.
