TMZ Bible Thumped by Rev. Wright

He may have single-handedly done in Barack Obama with his arrogance, but Reverend Jeremiah Wright's work still isn't done until his security messes with TMZ.


If he really wanted Barack to win, he'd just stay home.

16. E. His MAIN backer who he actually went to get the blessing of when running for office who he WON'T Denounce is an Admitted and CONVICTED terrorist, who to this day says his only regret is that he didn't blow up more buildings. And his wife was considered the #1 most dangerous woman in America.

Yeah... I don't think Obama is a flag waver when you really line all his up.

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

I'm actually surprised more people aren't as weirded out by this as they are by the Reverend. Althought I admit the rev is a racist.

So its not ok for whites to hate black people, but its ok for blacks to hate white people and America and call America the land of KKK and still call themselves Christian, god fearing people.

Thats messed up dude.

Makes me glad I'm Asian. We kind of sneak under the radar Lol.

17. Oh and I agree - Racism is an abomination even if your skin is black and its aimed at someone whose skin is white, or even in the middle like Hispanics or Chinese. So this guy makes me sick as a Chinese American Christian. I hear the things people say about me because I work at a Chinese restaurant and the bad accents they make like they think I'm deaf, but I don't promote hate, I promote forgiveness since I am christian. But to say you're christian, and to preach the word of God, but to do it with hate and evil in your heart... that's sad. Everyone is human and its human to have emotions like bitterness and anger... but if you're going to preach the word and follow in Christ's footsteps, you have to be that much more Christlike in your ability to over come those feelings and forgive. This man is no Christian, and if Obama won't denounce him and the racist things he says, I hope he's not my president next year.

18. Rev. Wright did indeed help counsel Clinton during the Monica troubles. Has anyone ever asked Hillary about this?

19. I really don’t want to get into a pissing match with Sean Hannity and others of his ilk, as I don’t think that they are worth the time.

I do, however, take an interest in Sean Hannity’s relationship with Hal Turner, an internet radio host who is very popular among members of stormfront and other neo nazi white ride organizations.

In this video Sean denies any involvement with Turner. It is well known that Hannity allowed Turner to regularly call his show, so much so that ‘Hal from North Bergen’ became a regular feature. Hannity is said to have outsourced race baiting to Turner. Turner later established his own internet radio station. In 2006 Turner pondered what Georgian Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney would look like “hanging at the end of the rope”, and one of his shows was on the theme “Should Cynthia McKinney be lynched before her democratic primary”. This was at a time when Hannity was going after Cynthia McKinney fairly hard.

Anther interesting fact is that Turner took offence to an article by Greg Palast posted on McKinney’s site calling some people ‘Crackercrats’. Fox News picked up on the story soon after Hal Turner did.

The most interesting part of this story is that Hal Turner is also on the FBI payroll as an informant. This information was revealed after an internet hacker secured access to Turner’s emails, one of which was to his FBI handler. The email read “my fierce rhetoric has served to flush out a possible crazy.”

In the same emails Turner alleges that he knows US marines that serve as guards within the White House, a startling revelation.

Although Hannity denies being friendly with Turner, Hal seems to have other ideas

I was quite disappointed when Sean Hannity at first tried to say he didn’t know me and then went on to say that I ran some senate campaign in New Jersey. In fact, Sean Hannity does know me and we were quite friendly a number of years ago.

When Hannity took over Bob Grant’s spot on 77 WABC in New York City, I was a well-known, regular and welcome caller to his show. Through those calls, Sean and I got to know each other a bit and at some point, I can’t remember exactly when, Sean gave me the secret “Guest call-in number” at WABC so that my calls could always get on the air.

Source

It is entirely possible that Sean may be a little bit pissed off that Turner has been talking to the FBI, possibly about him. I should point out that Turner has, to my knowledge, been on Fox at least twice and never on any other network. Although Geraldo did give him a grilling last time, they still give him a platform.

I once tried to get a hold of some tapes from Hannity’s show when Turner was a caller, I think I’ll try again.

20. blacks are the most racist people in this day of age...im talking right now.......most blacks believe what this prick is saying there the first to yell that your racist and call you a cracker while doing it...how stupid is that!

21. Sean Hannity, who for a long time bonded with Neo-Nazi/white supremacist Hal Turner, admitted on the air during Friday night’s (4/25/08) Hannity & Colmes that he cares deeply about racial issues. But Hannity’s interest in race almost always pertains to the civil rights of white people, not blacks. Apparently, Hannity has concluded that whites are the oppressed people in our country. At the drop of an n-word, Hannity will make a cause celebre of any white person accused of bigotry. Yet Hannity is obsessed with "revealing" racism in African Americans. So it was no surprise that during a discussion about the role of race in the presidential campaign, Hannity wasted no time in accusing Barack Obama of racism. With video.

22. Wright is a racist buffoon who is having his 15 minutes of fame and he is loving every minute of it. Why has he gone on a Hate America speaking tour? What's really going on?

Here's my current theory: Wright was convinced/paid/ by Clinton interests to knock Obama off his pedestal because Obama has made the Clintons look like political amateurs. The Clintons don't like that. It's embarrassing for them. Obama's popularity was not factored in the Clinton playbook. The Clintons (and everyone else) know that Wright is a loose cannon with a HUGE ego (and Obama's Achilles heel). He'll do anything to get in front of those cameras and talk about how awful America is. Obama was his spiritual student, so obviously Obama hates America (this is what the Clinton's hope the public will take away from all this).

And Wright was ready to teach young Obama a thing or two. Wright is not pleased that Obama has tried put some distance between himself and Wright. Obama listened to the Wright tirades for YEARS, and now Obama wants to leave the Wright cult??? "NO NO NO NO NO," says Wright. Obama paid Wright thousands of dollars in tithes to keep hearing the message of hate from Wright. Now that's gone. Cult leaders don't like traitors. So the Clintons do what the Clintons always do when they look like fools: Get rid of the competition through a third party--through the hate monger Wright in this case. They are geniuses at this, like snakes are geniuses at survival.
The MSM fall for the trap every time. They know that Wright is not REALLY news. But giving Wright air time gets temporary higher ratings (and increased ad revenues) for them, so they exploit Wright. He's the white man's slave, doing the white man's bidding, again, but he's too dumb to realize it.

The Clintons sit back and enjoy every minute of watching Obama bob and weave his way through the Wright mess. He can't shake the Wright curse. The Clinton's plan works perfectly.

The superdelegates are watching all this. "What do we do? What do we do?" The Clinton's or their surrogate political slaves work on the superdelegates. "There's more bad news for Obama to come," they tell the superdelegates. "Obama can't win. But HIllary can win. You want a winner don't you? Well, pick Hillary. She's a winner." They get the message.

And so on and so on. And Wright? The Clintons will toss him overbeord as soon as he was done their dirty work for them. That's the plan. HIllary WILL be the nominee of the party. And Wright will wonder why all the MSM cameras and reporters don't show up at his doorstep anymore.

23. Rev. Jerry Falwell (with Rev. Pat Robertson)
blames pagans, abortionists, feminists
& gays and lesbians for bringing on the
terrorist attacks in New York and Washington


Partial transcript of comments from the
September 13, 2001 telecast of the 700 Club

JERRY FALWELL: And I agree totally with you that the Lord has protected us so wonderfully these 225 years. And since 1812, this is the first time that we've been attacked on our soil and by far the worst results. And I fear, as Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense, said yesterday, that this is only the beginning. And with biological warfare available to these monsters -- the Husseins, the Bin Ladens, the Arafats -- what we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact -- if, in fact -- God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.

PAT ROBERTSON: Jerry, that's my feeling. I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do to the major population.

JERRY FALWELL: The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this.

PAT ROBERTSON: Well yes.

JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen."

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, I totally concur, and the problem is we have adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government. And so we're responsible as a free society for what the top people do. And, the top people, of course, is the court system..

JERRY FALWELL: Pat, did you notice yesterday the ACLU and all the Christ-haters, People For the American Way, NOW, etc. were totally disregarded by the Democrats and the Republicans in both houses of Congress as they went out on the steps and called out on to God in prayer and sang "God Bless America" and said "let the ACLU be hanged". In other words, when the nation is on its knees, the only normal and natural and spiritual thing to do is what we ought to be doing all the time - calling upon God. ~~~

PAT ROBERTSON: > Amen

24. Obama just got screwed by one of his own people. What's the saying, it's better to keep your mouth shut and not prove you're a fool. At least the right wing Christians kept their mouths shut until AFTER Bush got elected.

What's really funny is Wright was invited to the press club by a Clinton Supporter. Coincidence? I don't think so.

26. I am just saddened and sickened by the turn this country has taken. I believe white people have an underlying racism that has changed from being hateful to being fearful. Now we are so scared to be called racis that we ignore and fear confrontation of ignorance because we do not want to offend. We need to confront anyone who deserves questioning and not worry about the color of their skin. There is no excuse for the power of the word racist. Unless it is denying you entry to college or a job or a community, it should not hold such power. Obama and the pastor should be confronted and asked tough questions. I dont care if the President is a woman or black or any race, tall or short ugly or hot. I just want a decent leader with good character and strength. I hope this sinks Obama and the pastor, who is really milking his 15 minutes. I would love some strong reasonable black leaders with the idea of personal responsibility and dialog that is fearless to come to the forefront and erase Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and that scary and evil Louis Farrakhan from the map. Unfortunately, the rhetoric has turned weak and inflamatory and holds no substance and now we will all pay the price. Most good strong black leaders are working in business (I do not blame them one bit of course) and know the mantle of the movement is decaying and cracking and rotting. It makes me sad for our country and for black America, which actually used to stand for something and now seems lost with unchanneled power in the absolutely wrong hands!

27. All I can say is I wouldnt give this sob 10 seconds of airtime. All he wants is attention and its ruening HIM not Obama! !!!!! What a laugh. Can't even stand looking at the thing.

28. LOL.. isn't pride a sin? You'd think a man running a church would know that. But instead, he has chosen to elevate his pride over Obama's bid for the White House.

Perhaps Obama should reconsider his loyalty to this man, who obviously has no loyalty to him.

29. John Hagee= Extreme Anti- Catholic

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

I just watched Hagee and he made the following statements

No difference between Catholics and Muslims in terms of killing Jews

Crusades were about killing Jews by Catholics

Hitler and The Catholic Church were one

Catholic Church stole money from Jews

Please watch this program today, its on many different channels and should repeat tomorrow, this is classic bad history in regards to the Catholic Church.
