Rev. Wright Makes Life a Little Tougher for Obama

Rev. Jeremiah Wright is at it again, and thanks to his association with Barack Obama, his every word will be scrutinized in the press to Obama's detriment. Here's what Wright had to say at a funeral in his old church:

[W]hile Wright made no mention of terrorism, he did revisit the topic of America’s mistreatment of blacks, saying America’s founding fathers “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic,” and adding that Thomas Jefferson wrote, “‘God would punish America for the sin of slavery.’ I guess that makes Thomas Jefferson unpatriotic,” he said to the cheers of the congregation.

Reflecting on the late Pincham, Wright said his faith “was not the jingoistic, chauvinistic ‘you’re either with us or against us’ demonizing kind of faith.” Wright said Pincham was friends with “Jews, Muslims, rabbis, imams, fathers in the Catholic church and [Louis] Farrakhan in the Islamic faith.”

Escalating into full-preaching mode, Wright thundered, “Fox News can’t understand that. [Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity’s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”

At that point, congregants nearly drowned Wright out with a booming standing ovation.

Wright also referred to Fox News as “Fix News.”

As I said back on March 26th, because Obama refused to disassociate himself from Rev. Wright, every word the Rev. says will be reported and Obama will continue to find himself answering tough questions about whether he believes what the Rev. is preaching. Wright is clearly not capable of controlling his hatred - he loves this stuff as do the people who make up his black nationalist church of which Obama is a member. He will be a continuing problem for Obama.
