Obama Is Lying About Not Knowing Of Jeremiah Wright’s Extremist Views

In a scramble to distance himself from his extremist reverend Barack Obama has tried to claim that he wasn’t aware of the man’s more objectionable political views.  But here’s video of Barack Obama from June of 2007 lavishing praise on his “close” and “personal” friend, Jeremiah Wright.

The idea that Obama was in the dark on Wright’s extremism strains the very boundaries of reason.

The idea that Obama was in the dark on Wright’s extremism strains the very boundaries of reason.

And what are Wrights extremist views Rob?  Since it is so hard to imagine how Obama might not, surely you can provide a long list of examples about Wright’s views.  Right?

Or, are you pretending again?  Pretending that you know more than just the few statements Wright made that are circulating in the media.

I’m looking forward to the list.

This is just out - apparently Obama lied when he said that he never attended any of these radical sermons:

Obama Attended Hate America Sermon

This are going from bad to worse - I think his numbers will start dropping.

Also from NewsMax:

Wright first came to national attention in 1984, when he visited Castro’s Cuba and Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya.

Wright’s Libyan visit came three years after a pair of Libyan fighter jets fired on American aircraft over international waters in the Mediterranean Sea, and four years before the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland — which resulted in the deaths of 259 passengers and crew. The U.S. implicated Gaddafi and his intelligence services in the bombing.

In recent years, Wright has focused his diatribe on America’s war on terror and the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

For a February 2003 service, Wright placed a “War on Iraq IQ Test” on the Pastor’s Page of the church Web site. The test consisted of a series of questions and answers that clearly portrayed America as the aggressor, and the war as unjustified and illegal. Marginally relevant issues regarding Israel received attention.

The test also portrayed the Iraqi people as victims of trade sanctions, but Saddam Hussein’s propensity for using “oil for food” proceeds to build palaces rather than buy medicine was never mentioned.

At the end of the test, the pastor wrote, “Members of Trinity are asked to think about these things and be prayerful as we sift through the ‘hype’ being poured on by the George Bush-controlled media.” Obama’s campaign staff did not respond to a NewsMax request for the senator’s response to Wright’s statements.

In April, however, Obama spoke to The New York Times about Wright, and appeared to be trying to distance himself from his spiritual mentor. He said, “We don’t agree on everything. I’ve never had a thorough conversation with him about all aspects of politics.”

More specifically, Obama told the Times, “The violence of 9/11 was inexcusable and without justification,” adding “It sounds like [Wright] was trying to be provocative.”

...

But the same experts same those same ties may come to haunt him if he were to win the nomination and face a Republican in the general election.

The worry is not lost on Wright.

“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Wright told The New York Times with a shrug. “I said it to Barack personally, and he said ‘yeah, that might have to happen.’”

------------

Sorry, Hanny, it’s more than clear that Obama knew. This bullshit that he’s the only guy in Chicago to not know that Wright was this divisive would mean he would be the stupidest person in the state of Illinois. That’s even worse than him being a liar.


For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of my country.

This is the kind of Change™ Obama has been talking about.

I think this is going to hurt Obama. I hope the GOP keeps hammering him on it as well.

Obamination can deny, and walk away all he wants.  Too late.  The damage is done and he IS already asscociated with this hateful, racist preacher.
