Obama’s Church Plays The Victim Card

  • Bookmark and Share

After blaming America for everything from HIV to 9/11, it was inevitable that the church would continue playing the victim card. Now they accuse the media for character assassination! But as others point out, isn’t it character suicide when the “victim” provides the posion?

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

Obama distanced himself from inflammatory comments by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., retiring pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, after they circulated on YouTube last week and were played repeatedly by cable news channels.

Wright, condemning society as racist, 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.”

The statement adds: “Trinity United Church of Christ’s ministry is inclusive and global.”

Inclusive and global? Calling America the US of KKK-A is inclusive and global? The victim card has apparantly become a crutch for this church.

   I don't believe MLK

   I don't believe MLK would approve of Jeremiah's comments.  These words from the 'I Have a Dream speech....  

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.

I don't believe...

 

"I don't believe MLK would approve of Jeremiah's comments."

I don't understand how Obama could believe, approve, tolerate and be a part of Wright's sewage for 20 years.  To subject his wife and children to this filth and intolerance.

This is a church where Obama's MOTHER would not be welcome for her 'crime' of being white.

And for anyone who thinks that he's going to slip out from under this, I invite you to read this from MyDD: http://mydd.com/stor...

Yes. THAT MyDD. Looney LeftieLand. It's an eye-opener.

From your link, here's why

From your link, here's why Obama still has supporters: 

"Oh No, a Black Seperatist!!! I'm personally shocked to suddenly find out (from Faux news, no less...) that some black people aren't happy with the way they've been treated these last 400 YEARS! How can they be so un-American as to express even the slightest hint that they are anything but eternally grateful for all of the wonderful things our government has done for them? Some folks just don't know how to say thank you, eh?"

Some people can minimize, apologize, rationalize and justify ANYthing.  Today, these people are known as Obama supporters.

RRAM Tough! 

In that preaching video,

In that preaching video, they had two women from the church after the service: one said some think it's radical but she doesn't, the other said that's what being black is in America today.

 

Saw that.I probably

Saw that.

I probably should have identified in my post why non-Blacks would still support Obama.

As others have pointed out, there may be a widespread disconnect between what non-Blacks think goes on in "Black" churches and what actually does happen.

At the crux of this issue is why certain Black clergy utilize this inflammatory rhetoric, why their congregations accept it as "gospel", and why none of this vast disconnect has been publicized to the American public before.

Like the MSM and Dems crying how we are in a Recession despite flimsy and incomplete corroborative data and the American public believing/feeling we are in a Recession, so too do the hatemongering preachers lead their congregations into believing/feeling disenfranchised and victimized further, the end result is further alienation, contempt and self-fullfilling prophecies.

I see all these players working on the Change part, little for the better IMO, but don't see all that much Hope from the apologists, opportunists, mudslingers and haters.

Instead of the message and accomplishments of Martin Luther King's unity and hope, we are now once again dealing with the strains of alienation, bitterness and division of the Eldridge Cleaver styled Black Panthers.

Interesting point, Hughie Newton and Bobby Seale, two of the originators of the original Black Panthers, eventually rejected pure Black nationalism, viewing it as a form of Black racism.  Instead, their ideology was to welcome all racial/ethnicities, ie international socialism masquerading as multiculturalism, and fight against oppression for any and all.  Their motto was "Power to the People" and reflected their internationally inclusive ideology.  This created a division with those wanting to keep the focus solely on Black issues (Stokley Carmichael and Eldridge Cleaver who's motto was "Black Power", denoting their emphasis on just Black people.), culminating in the splitting of the group and ultimately the dissolution of the Black Panthers.

Make no mistake.  The original Black Panthers were a violent group, though their violence was directed at the police/government and competing groups and not at White people in general.  The Panthers worked with the primarily white Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Youth International Party (Yippies), and even the Gay Liberation Front.   The same can not be said about the desires of Eldridge Cleaver (who preferentially raped White woman as an "insurrectionary act" after "practicing" on Black woman in the ghetto) and his gang.

The Cleaver story is notably a bizarre tale with his kidnapping of hippy-dippy professor Timothy Leary in Algiers, conversion to born again Christian, renouncing the Black Panthers, converting to Mormomism, and finally becoming a Republican who endorsed Ronald Reagan and ran for public office!

Truth is stranger than fiction, my friends. 

RRAM Tough! 

“Nearly three weeks

“Nearly three weeks before the 40th commemorative anniversary of the murder of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,

Nice how they managed to get MLK in there, huh? What the heck does that have to do with anything? Gee, would it have been OK if this happened a month before? Or two weeks after? LOL! You gotta love it!

he has preached a social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe.”

Oh, is that what that was?

ROFL!!!

 

And nearly three months

And nearly three months after the commemorative of the birth of Christ it comes to light that Wright uses the Lord's name in vain.

"Forget change, I want improvement!"

And barely a week

before the commemoration of Christ's sacrifice on the cross for the sins of all people, Wright reminds us why it was necessary.

The Trinity United Church of Christ could clarify everything if they would just put up a sign that read:

Character Assassination by MSM?

Ever hear of "suicide by cop"?

Yeah, THIS church continues to escalate into "suicide by media" ... and it IS spilling over into Obama becoming collaterally damaged ... BIG time.

Let me guess, it's racist to criticize a black church for practicing racism and hate.

So, are they basically implying that this behavior is typical of all black churches with this lame statement?

Calling BS

Victomology has developed to the point of absurdity.  They've been outed as bigots and demogogues and THEY'RE crying foul?  If it aint the pot calling............ 

Here we have the Reverend....

 openly campaigning for BHO in church on multiple occasions and not a peep from the msm. The gall to play the race card again! tsk,tsk. And let's not forget the other a-american preacher that was doing the same for HRC with the "Obama has a White Mama" sermon. Oh brother!

I accuse

I hereby formally accuse this soothsayer jerry wright and his disgusting followers of character assasination of Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, and His and Our Father God YHVH The Holy One Of Israel on behalf of all His earth-bound children who love and follow Him.

Ya get that, osam...obama?! You may win a presidency, but you stand an even greater chance of losing your soul. When you support the work of an organization you become a part of that work.

Oh, and jerry...a dead lion is better than a living dog.

 

I'm just proclaimin' is all....

THIS IS RICH...

 Well, to paraphrase the good Rev.J.Wright himself...YOUR CHICKENS...HAVE COME HOME...TO ROOSSSST.

To anyone who conducts themself in the manner that Rev.Wright, or even Spitzer, all too often, what comes around, goes around.
