Hussein’s Explanation Of Wright Ripped Apart By Bash
Senator Hussein blogged over at the far-left Huffington Post today in an attempt at damage control over the recent nuclear missiles fired out of the big mouth of his pastor.
You can read the whole blog here. Lot’s of political apologies, carefully worded.
I don’t want to go over his whole blog, I just wish to focus on what I believe to be the most important issue:
“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit.”
Let me take this piece by piece…
“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy.”
Only the statements that have been the subject of this controversy? What he is doing here is retaining his umbilical cord to his pastor. “Statements that have been the subject of this controversy”…he did not disagree with or condemn the spirit behind those statements, the wellspring from which they came, or the intent of the words.
“I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies.”
This is a purely political statement. “Allies” no doubt refers to Israel, whom the pastor has derided and vilified as they pertain to being a political ally to “our great country”. Israel is the only nation he brings up in a negative light in the rants besides America, and therefore it is Israel that is the ally of which he speaks. He does not speak of Jews or Israelites (not always the same thing) as a nation or people group here, but as a political nation as it relates to the United States. In other words, Obama denounces the attack on political ambassadorship, if you will. He denounces his pastors damage of diplomatic relations as a political tool, and nothing more.
No mention of Jews or Israelites as a people group or nation…stay with me I’ll show you why this is key…
“I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit.”
Here he goes straight to individuals. He did not say “words that degrade members of a given race, religious belief, or political theocracy.” He said “individuals”…
Obama is a very intelligent man attempting damage control done by a racist bigot spiritual advisor as he pursues the most powerful political position on the planet. You can bet every jot and every tittle has been carefully scrutinized, re-written and re-written again in this “blog” and one great glaring thing stands out.
He does not condemn his pastors denouncing of Israel.
To denounce Israel, Israelites, and Jews does not come from the God of the Bible. Yes, God got mad at them a few times. Yes, they messed up often, individually and as a people. But one thing stands out very clearly to one who has studied the Bible for many years and that is this: God’s love for Israel as a nation and the Jews as a people and Jerusalem as the Holy City is eternal and unwavering.
To say the things that Wright has said from the pulpit, even if they are in a political context, regarding Israel and the Jews, reveals a dangerous spirit. And Barack Hussein Obama’s refusal to specifically address that one point, gets to the heart of his heart. It is the same spirit that calls for the “wiping Israel off the map”…it is the same spirit that says “Jews are apes and pigs”…it is of the same spirit that says it is the Jews who oppress the enemies who surround them.
It is a deceptive spirit.

There is a whole lot of hoodwinking and bamboozling going on out there. It’s time we cut through the jive talking and get some straight answers.
March 14th, 2008 at 3:16 pmSo…Now besides being an empty suit, he’s also a liar. Nice. Let me just say, I have no objections to his color either. If JC Watts ran, he would get my vote in a heart beat. Heck Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams are awesome. I also like Larry Elder.
March 14th, 2008 at 3:19 pmThis man is incredibly dangerous. In a nation of clear thinking, logical people he’d be a non-entity. If anyone ever comes across one of those, let me know. Until then, we’re stuck in a country full of people who’ll hand over their future for a flowery, eloquent speech devoid of meaning or substance.
March 14th, 2008 at 3:57 pmWell done Mr. Bash
March 14th, 2008 at 4:06 pmDangerous is an understatement, he won’t a flag pin on his lapel or put his hand over his heart during the pledge of alligance, Conyers is proud of his brother.
March 14th, 2008 at 4:07 pmThis guy is so full of shiite.He’s been listening to this racist clown for 20 years. But now he disagrees with him? Sure thing Hussein.
March 14th, 2008 at 6:55 pmThe funny thing is Obama is probably okay with, not happy, but ok with dealing with this now since the Rezko scandal was getting so uncomfortably hot for him. The list of flaws of the new Messiah for the left is getting longer and longer. Ain’t heard a peep outa Slick or Billary; they lay low as B. Hussein self-destructs, at least back to mortal status. B.Hussein may not realize just how destructive this may be to his candidacy, cause it ain’t goin’ away till he cuts off all ties with this unhinged anti-American, Jew-hating, white hating racist.
March 14th, 2008 at 6:57 pmVery astute dissection of the statement. These politicians know how to bob and weave their way around. People need to call them on their bs. This Obama guy is digging his own grave and the news media will relish pushing him in.
March 14th, 2008 at 7:13 pmWhen will someone ask THE question about the Black Muslims and Farrakhan? Where did they come from? They started as a prison gang in California. How did they become protected as a religion? Granted by the press and a PC government afraid to denounce racism when it comes from blacks. BTW, the prison gang despised Christianity and Judaism.
March 14th, 2008 at 9:21 pm“H” also said; “If I Had Heard Them Repeated(his Pastor’s comments), I Would’ve Quit” the Church

The next video I see of this ass-clown should resemble a deer caught in headlights because…his POTUS hope’s are going down the drain:!:
March 14th, 2008 at 9:36 pmObama said:
“I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit.”
I recognize those words. Check out Yale medical school’s new speech code:
“The principle of freedom of expression that might otherwise protect even the most offensive public speech does not protect, nor does it even encompass, a right to threaten the dignity and privacy of an individual.”
(Via Tigerhawk.
Could be that Obama is invoking a favored new formulation of speech codes on the left. (This formulation serves the left because, by focusing on “individuals,” it empowers those who play the victim card and say they feel offended. It is also a capsule formulation of post-modern denial of objective standards. When priority is given to individual perceptions, which post-modern ideology proclaims to be radically variable and always legitimate, then there is no objective standard.)
Obama’s reference to this post-modern criterion seems to be defensive. Since Wright was not referring to individuals, he did not do anything wrong, by the left-wing speech code standard. Obama isn’t looking to see if what Wright said is supportable or insupportable, decent or indecent. He is just looking at whether it would be banned by current left wing standards.
That in itself is very revealing. It shows that Obama does not see himself as regulated by moral principles. He is only looking at what he can get away with before his own chosen rules would step in and forcibly stop him.
This is especially relevant given Obama’s dishonest denials of his Muslim background (saying he never “practiced” Islam, when others say that he most certainly did). Islamic rules allow Obama to lie about anything, including his religion, so long as his lies advance the cause of Islamic supremacy.
The fact that Obama seems to be doing this in the speech example suggests that this kind of “cheating within the rules” is an organizing principle of his mind, which suggest that that mind is a traditional Islamic mind, which encourages exactly this kind of thinking.
March 14th, 2008 at 11:38 pmSo I just finished reading the article, and I have to say that the second to last paragraph in the “blog” really struck me.
Is it me or does this:
“Let me repeat what I’ve said earlier. All of the statements that have been the subject of controversy are ones that I vehemently condemn. They in no way reflect my attitudes and directly contradict my profound love for this country.”
Sound amazingly like this:
“Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.”
It does to me; although I do not think it will be more than a token annoyance to Obama’s campaign. Interesting to me was his complete lack of condemnation of this pastor.

March 15th, 2008 at 3:25 amSo, we’re supposed to believe that Obama didn’t know about this pastor’s views on “rich, white people”? We’re supposed to believe that he never heard this pastor spew this hate-filled rhetoric over the 20 years that he went to church there? None of his true feelings came out while he was working on *his book* with this guy?
Give me a break. He can talk all he wants about hope and change, but he hangs out with bigots and terrorists. It’s like he picked out the ugliest side of Liberalism to hang out with, but won’t talk about it because he knows it won’t play in Middle America.
I hope Clinton beats him down like a dog in the primary, but he still wins the nomination. Then, McCain can finish him in the general election.
March 15th, 2008 at 10:23 amI have to say, Bash, that as much as Pat benefits from your presence on this site, your acumen for both analysis and the subtleties of defensive obfuscation are much more valuable to the conservative media were you to sandbag O’Reilly and take his place! This little piece of yours shows far more insight and incisive perspective than the whole of FOX News has to offer.
I only wish I could have surgically castrated Hussein as deftly!
