Video: Hussein Defends Pastor - “He’s Part Of Me”
He said a lot of things in this speech, but the very core of his message is found in this clip. He says that Wright, like his own Grandmother, is part of him. That he cannot disown Wright more than he can disown his own family.
Bullshit.
The excuse he relies on is faulty, flawed, and now fatal to his candidacy. You cannot choose your family. But you most definitely choose your own Pastor.
Nobody continues to be a member of a particular congregation if they don’t like what is being preached from the pulpit. This is the very church that Oprah started to attend 18 years ago and left shortly afterward because of the bitterness and divisiveness she saw preached from the pulpit.
Obama stayed for 20 years and continues to defend Wright. What else is needed to know? It is not the “statements made by Reverend Wright” that Obama needed to distance himself from. It is the spirit behind the bitterness and vitriol that fuels those statements that he should have distanced himself from the moment they became clear to him, as Oprah did.
Instead, he stayed. You know why? Because he agrees with that spirit. And that spirit is not the Holy Spirit.

I’ll say it again, “birds of a feather, flock together”. If he went there for twenty years and remained oblivious to what was going on he’s stupid. Or he thinks we’re stupid. I think it’s that he thinks we’re all stupid.

March 18th, 2008 at 8:33 amJohn
I believe the latter as well. he thinks we’re all stupid.
you know whats the funny part, everyone speculated he would come out and distance himself from Wright. but instead he came out and brought himself closer to him and reinforced what we already believed. what a dummy
March 18th, 2008 at 8:33 amYeah, I agree with you both. That guy really pisses me off. I think the title for Obama bin Laden’s next book should be “Throw GrandMa under the train.” What a dick yeah you all think Rev Wright is bad you should hear what my GrandMa used to say. Earth to the burnt toast obama she said those things back in the 60’s and 70’s when it was acceptable to be racist. He is saying those things now when it isn’t supposed to be acceptable to say those things, but no matter he said that beiing racist was apart of what it was to be black in the USA today. SCUMBAG, you might get the white guilt vote, but those 5%er were going your way anyway.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:43 amBe afraid, be very afraid…this motherfucker is good. He thinks we are stupid and he is right for the most part. And the stupid votes count the same as the smart ones.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:45 amI can only hope that the left will shift their support away from him… regardless of his “intentions.” My point…. one can not say they have sat twenty years in a church and heard hate speech, yet it has not effected them. It changes how a person thinks, what they believe and even who they become. A pastor shapes spiritual growth. That is their job!
I also love how he throws his white grandmother under the bus. Classy.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:53 amTo me, it’s not about race. It’s about the man running to be the President of the United States hanging out with a man who believes this country should be damned. Not sure I’ve seen where that was addressed. I guess we’ll see him wrap his ass up in flags from here on out….
As an aside: As far as I’m concerned as long as the black community continues to blame their woe’s on whites, nothing will change for them. It’s the same logic Arabs use on the Zionists…
March 18th, 2008 at 9:03 amIt is time for the ’super delegates’ to re think their votes. Unless they want to make the Democratic party a ‘Black supremist party’.
either way,
I need more popcorn
March 18th, 2008 at 9:28 amYeah right, he is being truthful. A carefully crafted hollow speech rather than a Q&A Session.
I have heard many great words in my time and the actions almost never met them. In fact, most of the time the actions spoke so loudly that I could not hear a word that was said.
March 18th, 2008 at 9:30 amHmmm, so much for “change.”
March 18th, 2008 at 10:56 amThe Audacity of a Race Pimp/Muslim apologist….BHO has jumped the shark, he has doubled down, this is who he is, take it or leave. I don’t care to be lectured to by this prick and he should never hold public office much less get in the WH!
March 18th, 2008 at 11:15 amIf you all elect this guy for your next president, I’m going to be screaming to Harper to seal the border to the US. This guy is scary, and that so many people buy into him is even scarier.

March 18th, 2008 at 11:49 amI find it interesting that when this man gets in trouble all of a sudden the Flag of The United States of America is behind him.

I was laughing at that this morning also …
You know, we just don’t seem to understand the intricate and intelligent nuances in the Rev. Wright’s sermons … At least, that’s what I am gathering from those who have flooded the airwaves in force to try and salvage Hussein’s campaign out of this shit.
Oh, and don’t you just love how the need to prop-up and justify the reverend is the only way [possible] for these people to try to do that?
I seem to have missed that tactic being done for Sen. Strom Thurmond in order to save and hold onto Sen. Trent Lott …
Nope, I only recall a “nuke `em” mentality.
March 18th, 2008 at 1:21 pmYou can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
If the whole presidential race only lasted two months, he would’ve had a solid chance. I don’t care what anyone says, the longer the campaign the better. Gives them more chances to show their true colors before we’re stuck with them.
March 18th, 2008 at 2:51 pmHey O’Bambam,
March 18th, 2008 at 4:31 pmIf the charlatan Wright (it actually should be Wrong) is a part of you, then you are a 1/4 black racist. And I guess you hate yourself because of your 3/4 side white family. Either way you are a hypocrite and should not even be close to being considered for the President of The United States.
Just go away.
I need a beer.
He can’t disown the Farrakhan sycophant but he and his wife can disrespect the country that has given them everything they have.

Well spoken, Irish, and as sharp as the glance of the green-eyed Nessa…
March 18th, 2008 at 7:28 pmHussein calls his own Grandmother a racist but DID NOT call Rev Wright a racist!! Hussein, you did not bamboozell me. Hit the road jack and don’t you come back!!
March 18th, 2008 at 9:33 pm1) Issues with his Pastor.
2) His wife was never proud of her country until now.
3) He refuses to place his hand over his heart during the pledge of Allegiance.
Sounds like he’s part of the hate America crowd to me.
March 19th, 2008 at 8:36 amObama thinks it’s ok for his pastor to spew hate speech over a 20 year period however, when Don Imus made a single negative Obama called him out big time.
