Rev. Jeremiah Wright has attempt to clarify his remarks when he said in Virginia that "them Jews" are keeping him from seeing Barack Obama in the White House. In an interview with Mark Thompson on the Sirius Left satellite-radio channel, Wright said he meant to single out them "Zionists," not Jews.
In the brief audio clip posted, Wright also went on to imply that the Holocaust of six million Jews is much smaller than the "black Holocaust." He responded to the Holocaust Museum shooting by deploring violence and talking about "millions of African Americans killed," citing historians like Chiekh Anta Diop and John Henrik Clarke to unload the estimate of 100 to 150 million murders. I'm sure Obama would have preferred the lack of "clarification."

War on Terror Rules by Barack Obama
June 13, 2009 - 07:17 ET by Retired GeekBarack Obama's Rules of War
Soldier to Captured Islamic Terrorist:
--------------------------------------
Sir, You have the right to remain silent or, if you want, shout Allahu Akbar in a maniacal voice.
Anything you say will be used against the United States by left-wing radical groups and the mainstream media.
You have the right to use an ACLU attorney in bringing a frivolous lawsuit against the American government.
If you cannot afford an attorney, the American taxpayers whom you haven't yet killed, will pay for one.
If you do not understand these rights, you will be given a chance to sue us later for your failure to do so.
Our Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, wants us to make sure you get back into the Combat Zone as soon as possible - be patient and work with us and you should be killing us or planting IED's by tomorrow.
May we get you a cup of Hot Tea or a Koran while you wait for your release on your own 'Recognizance'?
If you are ever in America, stop by your local ACORN office and register to vote for Barack Obama.
Wonder why
June 13, 2009 - 07:35 ET by DontFeedTheTrollsYes, millions of 'African Americans' killed. By 'African Americans'. It's a daily occurance and as common as the sunrise so it is not even reported on anymore. Now those right-wing nut job murders that occur about once every ten years or so, well they get reported on almost daily.

June 13, 2009 - 10:49 ET by 10ksnookerThe compassion expressed by the liberals over the million or so black African children killed each year by malaria. Now belived over 35 million dead ... since DDT was banned.
Yes WHO, after spedning nearly 35 years trying and failing, was unable to find anything that DDT did to people, animals or the environmnet except kill malairia carrying mosquitos. So in 2006 approved DDT for use again.
Another liberal hoax that seems to never die -- the poor Eagle eggs. Well it was an outright lie. Rachael Carson was a fraud.

June 13, 2009 - 08:35 ET by urbuggenmeJust because some of us are “Whitey”, “Redneck”, “Cracker”; “Japanese; “Jewish”, “Indian” (native Americans’), “Gook’, “Chink”, “Homo/Lesbos”...(the list goes on and on)…livening in trailer parks, suburbs, towns, cities and farms; driving Full Sized Trucks or gas-guzzling SUV's, with our children in private, public or home schools, holding on to our guns and religion, paying for our own taxes mortgages and rent, our own Home, Life, Medical and Auto insurance, pay most of our bills on time when we can, feed our families off whatever our employers pay us and try to treat everyone as an equal.. We are now just supposed to believe he didn’t mean what he said? We have late night talk show hosts and the main stream media endorsing rape of children, and the Presidents own pastor for over 20 years saying “Those Jews”, and a Supreme Court Justice nominee saying she can make a better judgment that a white man.
Just a few months ago, if anyone had even remotely referred to anything that could in anyway be suggested that it was racist that was all you would hear about… remember the chimp that chewed the face off the owners friend and a stupid cartoon that followed? Remember Don Imas; Racism and bigotry go both ways. It is time for Americans to stop playing video games, and watching “Who’s the next Idle” and start to pay attention to what is and has happened to our country. How many of your own friends know that the House just voted on a $600 Billion dollar tax increase last night… and this is only a start of more to come.

Isn't this the building of 'settlements' by Muslims in Christian areas?

Barack Obama's Mentor and Spiritual Adviser
June 13, 2009 - 10:16 ET by Retired Geek“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’
No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people.
God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human.
God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”
Jeremiah Wright (2003)
Barack Obama's chosen Mentor and Spiritual Advisor for over twenty years.
"What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice. He's much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I'm not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that's involved in national politics." -- Barack Obama

Thanks for clearing that up, Reverend
June 13, 2009 - 12:52 ET by CobraMan"Wright said he meant to single out them "Zionists," not Jews."
So, Wright is saying that, instead of being overtly antisemitic, he just a plain-old conspiracy nut who thinks the "Zionists" are controlling everything, just like Hitler did (and the President of Iran does, btw). Thanks for clearing that up, Reverend.

I still believe that Rev. Wright dancing and carrying on during the pre-election news conference was a put-up job to allow Barry to cut ties with Wright.
Everything about Barry is carefully choreographed.
non pastor pastor
June 13, 2009 - 17:49 ET by m1xramIt's always strange to hear a supposedly Christian Pastor issue racist comments. It's like he doesn't bother with that pesky Bible thingie with the Old Testament in it. Like it or not the Jews are part of this nations Christian heritage.

June 13, 2009 - 21:04 ET by Dan The Man 2supposedly Christian Pastor
He is in all probability not a Christian. Just like Obama is not a Christian. But, only God knows for sure and their salvation is in God's hands.
"This outrageous act
June 13, 2009 - 21:56 ET by TN Mom"This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms." - Obama speech about Holocaust Musuem shooting.
Rev. Wright isn't about to take orders from Obama; this was a slap not only against the Jewish people, but also against Obama. Wright knew what he said would stir controversy, he is daring Obama to call him out. Rev. Wright will rear his ugly, hate-filled mouth again; Obama can't dismiss him forever. Question is who will black people support? Sure, Obama has tons of supporters, but so does Wright....

Is it just me or is rev wright white
June 14, 2009 - 07:38 ET by ChattychitoI was wondering could anyone tell me when 100 to 150 Million African Americans were murdered and by whom?
for clarification African Americans means people of African decent born in the United States of America. so again when did 100 to 150 million African American born in the US get murdered and by whom?
I did notice that Rev Wright sure is looking a lot like a old white man in his latest picture. I couldn't tell if he was black at all except by his racist speech.

HATE
June 14, 2009 - 13:15 ET by rapkillerDAVID LETTERMAN'S HATE, ETC. !
David Letterman's hate is as old as some ancient Hebrew prophets.
Speaking of anti-Semitism, it's Jerry Falwell and other fundy leaders who've gleefully predicted that in the future EVERY nation will be against Israel (an international first?) and that TWO-THIRDS of all Jews will be killed, right?
Wrong! It's the ancient Hebrew prophet Zechariah who predicted all this in the 13th and 14th chapters of his book! The last prophet, Malachi, explains the reason for this future Holocaust that'll outdo even Hitler's by stating that "Judah hath dealt treacherously" and "the Lord will cut off the man that doeth this" and asks "Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?"
Haven't evangelicals generally been the best friends of Israel and Jewish persons? Then please explain the recent filthy, hate-filled, back-stabbing tirades by David Letterman (and Sandra Bernhard) against a leading evangelical named Sarah Palin, and explain why most Jewish leaders have seemingly condoned Palin's continuing "crucifixion"!
While David and Sandra are tragically turning comedy into tragedy, they are also helping to speed up and fulfill the Final Holocaust a la Zechariah and Malachi, thus helping to make the Bible even more believable!

June 14, 2009 - 20:53 ET by ChattychitoI think what he is try to say is. All this stuff flying around from the mouths of Rev Wright, David Letterman and others is leading to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy of the Great Tribulation.
Which by the way will start when millions of True Christians disappear in what is known as the Rapture. the New Agers will cover it up and have taught already that it is a planetary cleansing that the newly arrived ET's that show up teach and that they have come to help us save our planet.
Read the New Age garbage they have been channeling from these supposed ET's and you will find they couldn't save the planet they were from. And they come here to help us. Yeah Right. it will be the Devil and his Angels in disguise
