So, over the weekend the Barack Obama / Rev. Jeremiah Wright fiasco continued to unfold.
Barack “disavowed” those particular controversial comments (without ever specifically naming them) that he disagreed with. He “disappeared” the Rev. from his campaign and his web site.
And the best part was Barack’s bold-faced lie to America — when he claimed that, in the 20 years that he’s been attending the race-hustling, white-American hating, radical Trinity United Church — in all that time, he never heard a single one of these anti-American, racist, bigoted, asinine, or hate-filled sermons from Rev. Wright.
Either Obama is lying about his stellar church attendance, or he’s lying about what he knew and when he knew it.
Of course, it’s not taking the blogosphere to come up with numerous examples of Obama making comments about the controversial nature of Rev. Wright’s particular brand of “preaching”, or accounts of him actually at some of these sermons he claims to never have heard.
Bottom line? Barack knows and has always known full well what kind of church he was attending. He’s always known about Rev. Wright’s anti-America, anti-white people hate speech. And he made the decision to associate himself — very closely — with that hate for 20 years.
So, you Obamaniacs can buy the lie if you want to. The rest of us know better. We know that he lied.
Between this and the earmarks for his wife, this hasn’t been a good week for Obama. Not to mention, that Obama admitted that indicted political fixer and close friend Tony Rezko was a much, much bigger campaign contributor than Barack had earlier said he was (to the tune of $250K). Another lie from Obama.
I would not doubt, when we look back in November, that this was the week that started his downward spiral.
Where were the Obamas the first Sunday after 9/11? Their silence on the matter indicates to me that they were in the audience when Rev. Jerry and his followers were yucking it up over the fact America had been attacked and innocent people had died. Fuck both of them. When you think about Obamas other behaviors, it all makes sense. Then there is his wife’s whining about how hard it is to get by on a 1.7 million income.
