Do you recall Reverend Jeremiah Wright? Remember the guy that Barack Obama considered a friend and mentor for over 20 years? The man that Barack Obama considered his minister, even as he said “God D*mn America” and blamed America for bringing 9-11 on itself?
Reverend Jeremiah Wright
Well, he’s speaking out again. As reported by Daily Press, Reverend Wright says he has not spoken to Barack Obama since he and the Trinity Church were thrown under the bus by our President. He also speaks out against “them Jews.”
In an interview with Daily Press, Reverend Wright states that he does not hold any grudge against Obama. He also says he stands by what he has preached over the last few years, including his remarks about America.
As to why the President has not spoken to him since the election, Wright states:
Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office.
They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. … I said from the beginning: He’s a politician; I’m a pastor. He’s got to do what politicians do.
I’m not sure who he means by “them Jews,” but Wright goes on to state that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, among other places. Wright states that Obama does nothing against Israel for fear of offending Jews.
Wright is a bigoted idiot, obviously, and his own worst enemy. However, he does point out one glaring flaw in Obama. Obama’s principles follow whatever gets him in power.
As reported here, up until very recently, Obama was about as pro-Palestine as any politician in America. All of a sudden, he sees he could beat Hillary Clinton, and his policy becomes more pro-Israel. Now, he pretty much has taken the standard Democratic party stance on Israel. Backbone? Principles? What does Obama stand for? Whatever gets him into power.

If I said “Them Jews” It would be Hate Speech and I would be labeled a Raci*t.
Same for “Them Gays”, “Them N-words”, “Them people.”
How can anyone call this man a pastor?
Man what a double standard the Liberals have.

Right you are George. Try calling a spade a spade.

Cool. I say, right on. All power to Obama. You can’t please everyone, so why not be a little Machiavellian? Obama, Obama, Obama. Your worst nightmare has arrived. Curse God, and die.

Klo - you say ‘right on’ to antisemitism? That’s okay with you?

Beth, Klo like all good liberals believes in free speech. Unless you disagree with them and then you are an angry, hate mongul conservative. Klo you need some professional help to get over being a rac*st.

If we’re calling a spade a spade, I guess we need to call this guy a straight-up rac*st.

Wright did not say “genocide in Gaza”; his words were “Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza.”
And he is CORRECT!
There had been Jews living in what is now called Gaza for thousands of years. But today Gaza has been cleansed of Jews with 100% efficiency. After Jews left Gaza leaving it to rocket-wielding Islamists, all synagogues in the region were torched to cap off the ethnic cleansing celebration.
