A great article today in the WSJOnline about Obama and his lack of denunciation of Jeremiah Wright and his audacious allegations. So far the ones that you can here on YOUtube, out of the man's own mouth include the following (but are not limited to):
- It's America's own fault that 9/11 happened
- America is racist
- God should condemn America (okay I cleaned up the language on this one)
- Luis Farrakhan is a great man (leader of the Nation of Islam who has said that white people are the skunks of the earth and repeatedly blatant anti-Semitic statements)
- America created AIDS
- The US of KKK A
The list goes on. I advise you to listen to the tapes, but I do warn you about the language.
Even IF Obama distances himself from Wright and his comments, which he has NOT done yet, how much credit does that get him? After all, he has been a close friend, mentor, pastor, sounding board and confidant to Obama for 20 years.
This isn't new information. This isn't something that came as a sudden revelation. He's been sitting and listening to this man and his racist hatred, of white people and of America, for 20 years. The fact is that Rev Wright and his racism is apart of who Obama is.
Do we really want someone with that perspective in the White House?
