Jeremiah Wright
The arrogance and stupidity of Da Mayor’s move is only rivaled by the sheer gall most of the press has for reinforcing this bizarre idea that it is somehow morally wrong to resurrect the subject of Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama’s association with him. It might not be tactically-wise for GOP-aligned and other Super PACs to spend any serious time on the issue, but the audacity it takes to look at the teachings of a man like Wright and call criticism of his bigotry a racist act is mind-boggling.
This issue was glossed over in 2008, and I feel safe saying this despite the amount of news attention it garnered. For years and years Jeremiah Wright has spewed hatred (even in ‘retirement’ his agenda rolls on), and Barack Obama’s family sat there, listening to it. To have a man for your mentor that believes the United States (or, as the Rev has put it, the U.S. of KKK A.) allowed Peal Harbor to be attacked, purposely spread AIDS around the world to kill black people and teaches that Jews control the world’s information (who knew Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch were Jewish?!) should be a subject of scrutiny.

Wow, we agree on something. Rev. Wright taught Black Liberation Theology, something James H. Cone developed in response to the white racism extant in the 1960s and earlier. Those who teach it today hold to the same set of beliefs, which include Marxism and a sort of Critical Race Theory intertwined with liberal/left-wing Christianity. The beliefs of Cornel West and Tavis Smiley are pretty similar. Because the left-wing media (which is most of the media) was in Senator Barack Obama’s pocket, it didn’t vet him and he became president. Now they go after Mitt Romney’s high school activities while ignoring the many damning statements found in President Obama’s own books! They go after Romney’s Mormonism, but bury their heads in the sand when it comes to Obama’s Black Liberation Theology. Wonder why Eric Holder didn’t go after the Black Panthers for voter intimidation? Holder personifies Critical Race Theory. Left-wing African Americans and their allies can do no wrong, but conservative ones are self-haters who undermine the Civil Rights Movement. Obama’s and Wright’s beliefs in Black Liberation Theology explain so many things.
