The Mainstream Media (MSM) is all in a blather (and so also Barack Hussein Obama) over a comment manipulated by the MSM of John McCain.
If you have not heard, the MSM is painting a picture that McCain said Hamas endorses Obama for President. Obama has tried to exploit this sound byte by being outraged that his Campaign receives the endorsement of the Murdering Muslim terrorist organization known as Hamas.
The reality is McCain was quoting a Hamas spokesman who indeed said Hamas preferred Obama over McCain for President of the United States.
Of course the Obama Campaign is going to reject such support as he has – uh – rejected and denounced racist Jeremiah Wright who Obama claims was his mentor and Pastor for over TWENTY YEARS. It would be political suicide to openly even hint publicly that Hamas has a case for destroying Jews and Israel off the planet earth.
After twenty years of association with Jeremiah Wright and a former association of Jew hating Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam I wonder what Obama privately believes.
Anyway, McCain’s point should be noticed. There must be a reason why Hamas fears a McCain Presidency and embraces an Obama Presidency.
Keep that in the back of your mind as you read this report from WorldNetDaily.com.
Barack Hussein Obama’s Campaign slogan is “Change.”
He has enamored the youth of America with a slogan that sounds good but it is a slogan with little substance of the “Change” called for. The “Change” alludes to a regime change in America without divulging the specifics of “Change.”
Perhaps Obama’s associations can give America a clue to what “Change” is.

Have you noticed that the Mainstream Media (MSM), Democrats and Republicans are predicting Jeremiah Wright’s racism against Whites, friendship with anti-Semitic Farrakhan and the promotion of the Black Liberation Theology will have little effect on Barack Hussein Obama’s Campaign if he should win the Democratic Nomination for President?
It must be a Politically Correct think for those three groups to agree on the effect of Wright.
I am here to tell you that Black Liberation Theology (BLT) alone not just Wright’s deviant Black Supremacist/Victimhood stance should affect how Americans vote if Obama should win the Democratic nomination.
Proponents of BLT have said the theology stems from the concern Jesus Christ had for the poor and downtrodden. Critics have viewed BLT as Black Supremacism disguised with the word “Christianity”. BLT is more akin to Marxism and the Black Power movements (such as the Black Panthers or Nation of Islam). BLT criticizes the White Man for all the ills the Black Man’s past history and present circumstances, utilizing facts to distort the impact on Blacks is a huge exaggeration of BLT.
Rev. Rob Schenck was on Hannity’s America show discussing Jeremiah Wright’s embracing of BLT. Schenck made it clear that BLT is very close to the Liberation Theology of Latin America which was overtly pro-Marxist (supporting Latin American Communists), Anti-Catholic and Anti-American.

If you are a Republican you have to love the self-destruction that occurring in the Democratic Party.
In case you have not been reading or watching the news, Jeremiah – Whitey oppresses Blackie – Wright has been in the news mouthing off racism against White people and further embarrassing his prodigy Barack Hussein Obama in the process.
So what is about Jeremiah Wright that works his point of view of society in America? It is the ideology of Black Liberation Theology.
What is “Black Liberation Theology?”
Liberation Theology is an attempt to interpret Scripture through the plight of the poor. It is largely a humanistic doctrine. It started in South America in the turbulent 1950's when Marxism was making great gains among the poor because of its emphasis on the redistribution of wealth, allowing poor peasants to share in the wealth of the colonial elite and thus upgrade their economic status in life.
…
Liberation Theology has moved from the poor peasants in South America to the poor blacks in America. We now have Black Liberation Theology being preached in the black community. It is the same Marxist, revolutionary, humanistic philosophy found in South American Liberation Theology and has no more claim for a scriptural basis than the South American model has. False doctrine is still false, no matter how it is dressed up or what fancy name is attached to it. In the same way that revolutionary fervor was stirred up in South America, Liberation Theology is now trying to stir up revolutionary fervor among Blacks in America. If the church in America recognizes the falseness of Black Liberation Theology as the Catholic Church did in the South American model, Black Liberation Theology will suffer the same fate that the South America Liberation Theology did, namely it will be seen to be the false doctrine of a humanist viewpoint dressed up in theological terms. (Excerpts from GotQuestions.org)
This is the definition I favor; however I am a Caucasian so let’s look at a pro-Black Liberation Theology definition.
The Rev. James Cone is the founder of black liberation theology. In an interview with Terry Gross, Cone explains the movement, which has roots in 1960s civil-rights activism and draws inspiration from both the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, as "mainly a theology that sees God as concerned with the poor and the weak."
…
Cone explains that at the core of black liberation theology is an effort — in a white-dominated society, in which black has been defined as evil — to make the gospel relevant to the life and struggles of American blacks, and to help black people learn to love themselves. It's an attempt, he says "to teach people how to be both unapologetically black and Christian at the same time." (Excerpts from NPR March 31, 2008)
Note the pro-Black Liberation Theology definition leaves out any references to humanism or Marxism in any form of specificity. Nonetheless look at words that should send up red flags in your brain: Inspired by a combination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X; concern for the poor and weak; white-dominated society; help Black people to “love themselves.”
The pro definition has all the words that are endearing to Secular Humanists, Communists and Black Power (racist revolutionists) disguised in the wrapping paper of Christianity. In other words Black Liberation Theology is a bill of goods being sold to African-Americans should be stamped Buyer Beware.
Ed Decker’s Saints Alive website has an April E-newsletter of which one article deals with Black Liberation Theology by Anthony B. Bradley. It is a good read.
Writing for the Claremont Institute, Harry V. Jaffa rebuts the anti-American, anti-white, generally racist and Black victimization sermon excerpts you probably have heard or read of Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
In case one has been ignoring the American Race for President of the United States, Wright was the former Senior Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ and the acknowledged spiritual mentor of Barack Hussein Obama.
The one angle I am not sure I agree with Jaffa is his unique theme of justifying White enslavement of Black Africans that eventually have become African-Americans. I don’t disagree with his reasoning; however his case just comes across as the very attitude that has made Black Americans agree with Wright’s vision of Black victimization by the “White Man.”
In my way of thinking racism is racism. It is irrelevant if the racists are White or Black. If a Black person hates a person because he is White it is wrong. If a White person hates a Black person because he is Black it is wrong.
I am certain a Black American that reads Jaffa’s essay and has any knowledge of history will point out that many of the Founding Fathers that are claimed to decry the institution of slavery were slave owners until the day they died. This includes icons like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
With that bit of criticism on my part I have to say Jaffa’s essay is a good read that examines the reality of times of the existence of slave institution in America. An America in which a Black man still faces some hurdles yet with some good old fashioned American work ethic can and have become successful citizens of the United States of America. So I say get over your past and contribute to building a future in which racism becomes merely a practice of the fringe few or with God’s help eliminated (the last thought of elimination may be a bit utopian but I had to add it).
Hamas Manifesto on TUCC Pastor’s Page of Newsletter
Obama Denies being Around

I know this is probably old news to many of this Website’s readers; however I just ran into today. A couple days ago CreepingSharia.com roughly reprinted the story of BizzyBlog’s exposing that Obama’s Church – the Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) – published support of the Hamas Manifesto on Jeremiah Wright’s “Pastor’s Page” of the Church newsletter. BizzyBlog broke the news, but I read about on CreepingSharia.com thus I then posted from the CreepingSharia.com perspective.
I am now learning from WorldNetDaily that Obama contacted the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to condemn Hamas and to explain (once again) he was not present at TUCC when the terrorist-racist support was expressed by Jeremiah Wright and TUCC by publishing the Newsletter which had the Hamas Manifested in it from a reprint of a Los Angeles Times editorial written by Islamic Terrorist Mousa Abu Marzook.
Is it just me noticing this: Obama seems to never be present at TUCC when the racism and pro-Terrorist and anti-American rhetoric comes from the pulpit or the Church’s written word?
I am beginning to wonder if Obama is following the old Goebbels paradigm on propaganda:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels (Emphasis Mine)
I mean Obama has been making an awful lot of denials and many condemnations over and over again … has not he?
Why is the Hamas Manifesto such a big deal? It is because America’s own State Department has Hamas listed as a terrorist organization. Hamas has essentially rebelled against the PA in the Gaza Strip and basically run the show there. Part of the Hamas Manifesto (actual document link) is a call for the unmitigated and utter destruction of Israel which would of course if successful lead to another Holocaust of carnage that would make Hitler happy in hell that the Final Solution is continuing even after his demise.
Did you believe Obama’s simultaneous condemnation and affirmation of his Pastor Jeremiah Wright?

Dave Lewis says:
do you people not understand that Obama is not and never has been a muslim. (Comment Mon 1/28/2008 6:47 PM)
****************************
I am assuming Mr. Lewis is referring to the Post Obama, the Muslim Thing, And Why It Matters.
I am making an educated guess and agreeing that Obama is currently not a Muslim; however the “and never has been” is another matter.
Barack Obama and his website echoes Mr. Lewis’ belief: OBAMA IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN A MUSLIM. The “Denial Page” is replete with YouTube videos, Leftist Media corroboration, Jewish corroboration and Political friends’ corroboration that Obama is not now and never has been a Muslim. The website says that Obama is a committed Christian attending Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Let us start with the Muslim factor.
The story first broke by Insight Magazine January 2007.
The Leftist immediately jumped on the story as not credible. The Huffington Post a very Leftist media outlet debunked Insight Magazine as a Conservative smear campaign and thus could not be credible. However Cliff Kincaid jumped on the Huffington Post as duplicitous for often has called Insight Magazine a credible source of information, yet now that mud has been found on Obama’s past suddenly Insight Magazine is not credible. Other Left Wing rags joined the HP in its denunciation.
Most of the Left began claiming form the roof tops that Insight Magazine is owned by the super Conservative Washington Times. Of course since Left Wing news sources are more credible the Right Wing news sources (tongue in cheek), the Insight Magazine story is not credible and thus false.
The Lefties had a mission to prove Obama was never connected to Islam and so one of the more famous Left media outlets in CNN was dispatched to Indonesia to investigate if the Right was correct (with the agenda of making the news that the Right was False).
CNN in a January 23, 2008 article concluded that Insight Magazine and Fox News were false. What was CNN’s evidence? The present day school attended in Obama’s youth is a public school with students from multiple faiths and thus not a Radical Islamist Madrassa. Thus it was a conclusion based on present day facts not on the facts that matter – the past.
The odd thing is the Washington Times sent out its own investigative team. Now obviously it has going to have a Slanted Right perspective. Here was the Washington Times Conclusion published a week earlier than CNN reported by Newsmax.
The Washington Times went to Jakarta to investigate Obama's childhood years there, and published an article on March 16 that included these details:
- A close boyhood friend of Obama, Zulfin Adi, said Barack "was a Muslim. He went to the mosque."
- Obama's first-grade teacher at a Catholic school, Israella Dharmawan, said: "Barry (Barack's nickname) was Muslim. He was registered as a Muslim because his father was Muslim."
- In the third grade, Obama transferred to a public school, where he was also registered as a Muslim. At the school, Muslim students attended weekly religion lessons about Islam.
- In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."
Now what sounds more credible? The CNN Report based on 21 century observations of the school that Obama attended or interviews and assertions and documentation from the Washington Times Report that shows a link to Islam in Obama’s past?
Hmm… What is one to believe? Or soft evidence that looks more like propaganda or hard evidence that includes witnesses and documentation and Obama’s own admission? I think I will go with the latter.
Not let us look at Obama’s deeply committed Christianity.
Here is an excerpt from an American Thinker article published January 29, 2008 by Kyle-Anne Shiver:
When Obama first undertook his agitating work in Chicago's South Side poor neighborhoods, he was un-churched. Yet his office was in a Church and most of the folks he needed to agitate and organize were Church people -- pastors and congregants -- who took their churches and their church-going very seriously. So, this became a problem for the young agnostic, who had been exposed to very little religion in his life. Again and again, he was asked by pastors and church ladies, "Where do you go to Church, young man?" It was a question he dodged for a while, but finally he relented and joined a church.
Not just any church, but a huge black nationalist church with a pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who unabashedly preaches a "black" gospel. Rolling Stone Magazine ran with a story on Obama and his church, entitled, "Destiny's Child," which included this exert (sic) from one of Rev. Wright's sermons:
"Fact number one: We've got more black men in prison than there are in college," he intones.
"Fact number two: Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!"
"We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns and the training of professional KILLERS. . . . We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. . . . We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. . . . We care nothing about human life if the ends justify the means!"
The crowd whoops and amens as Wright builds to his climax: "And. And. And! GAWD! Has GOT! To be SICK! OF THIS S**T!"
This doesn't sound like any church in which I've ever worshipped, but perhaps I have led a sheltered life. Reverend Wright, whom Obama called his spiritual mentor and still claims is his sounding board, has taken trips abroad with none other than Louis Farrakhan. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan received the "Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer" Award at the 2007 Trumpet Gala at the the (sic) United Church of Christ. Wright was even reported to be a former Muslim. One might be led to wonder if this "church" isn't all it makes itself out to be.
Whew! I am all for respecting a person’s right to Freedom of Religion; however the United Church of Christ (UCC) Church of choice along with its Past have the appearance of Black Supremacist racists on the scale of the racist anti-Semitic Black Muslim Louis Farrakhan.
Obama’s Campaign theme seems to be “Change.” I wonder what kind of “Change” Obama would bring if elected to the Presidency of the United States of America.
