Election Over, Ayers, Wright & Farrakhan Emerge
November 09, 2008 9:16 PMIn case you care…
"For nine months, I kept quiet," Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said today at Mosque Maryam in Chicago, "because I saw that the good words that I spoke about this beautiful young man" -- President-elect Obama -- "at our Saviours' Day convention and the way they were misused. I decided it would be better for me to just be quiet rather than be drawn into the controversy that was swirling around his pastor, Father Pfleger, and others."
"I feel freer today to say the things that are in my heart," said the controversial religious leader.You can see his speech HERE.
He's Freer? Here's one of the things Wright said during the campaign
"God is angry because of the ideas of neoconservatives," Farrakhan said. "Many so-called Jews and Christians have accepted the philosophy of an imperialist America, even without any aggression or provocation."I hate to think he was holding back.
Last week, Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright emerged to speak at Kingdom Life Christian Church sponsored by the Theological Education Institute of Hartford.
"The world doesn't know about my 41 years of ministry, or my writing of books, because it was all taken down to a 10-second sound bite that the media chose to show about a sermon that was delivered seven years ago," Wright said. "The media didn't care about the whole sermon and what it was about. They just used those 10 seconds and used it as a weapon of mass destruction against [Obama's] campaign."
Keep on whining Jerimiah. These are the sermons that YOUR church released. I have watched the sermons, the sound bytes have NOT been taken out of context. I thought preachers aren't supposed to lie.
And on election day, education professor William Ayers, a former member of the violent radical group the Weather Underground, gave an interview to the New Yorker's David Remnick.
Ayers told Remnick that he knew Obama only slightly: “I think my relationship with Obama was probably like that of thousands of others in Chicago and, like millions and millions of others, I wished I knew him better.” He described what happened to him as "Swift-boating."
“It’s all guilt by association,” Ayers said. “They made me into a cartoon character -- they threw me up onstage just to pummel me."
Not guilt by association, it was guilt by alliance. Of course he was pummeled and Obama's relationship was pummeled:
BILL AYERS HAS LEARNED NOTHING in the years since he was a terrorist. He still thinks he and his comrades should be forgiven, because their terrorism was “propaganda of the deed” meant to “blaze away the masters of war,” a cause for which he used “explosive words at first, slowly replaced by actual bombs.” He still thinks that America “shatters community everywhere”—and intends the publication of Fugitive Days to encourage another generation of terrorists against the United States, however much he has tried to deny that intention in the days since the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Preparing for his book tour, Ayers posed for a publicity photo with the American flag crumbled in weeds underneath his feet. This man still hates America and seeks its destruction. Source.
Yes the three-amigos of the President-elect have crawled out from under their rock. If we have to listen to them speak, its going to be a LONG FOUR years.

Oh my dear Yid. You have become so blind.
What did the three come out from under the rocks to say? Was it anything new? Was it anything noteworthy? Is it anything different then what was said in the campaign?
The McCain campaign did misuse and misrepresent the comments and relationships with the three. The press did create impressions and implied things that were simply not true.
Obama is no friend of Farrakhan. Farrakhan supports Obama. Obama has not shown any indication of supporting Farrakhan. This is exactly as it was stated in the campaign. Barack is also supported by a number of other groups and people he doesn't agree with as well; as was McCain. Obama cannot choose who supports him. He can only choose who he supports.
The statements made by Wright were taken out of context. I too have heard the sermons and disagree with your characterization of them. You simply don't understand the Christian experience and the relationship between church congregants and their pastors. You should have been just as vocal about Hagee and Palin's pastors in Wasilla as well. I think you are wrong to judge a man by each and every one of his pastor's comments. If you believe he should, at least apply the standard with consistency.
Ayers claims that his relationship is exactly as Obama has stated it. They were not close. They did not know each other well. They were allies on one specific thing only, the fight to improve Chicago's schools. Chicago schools were badly in need of repair. By all accounts Chicago schools are much better today then they were then. Why was Ayers wrong to suggest that the press was making something out of nothing? There was no relationship.
So what have you accomplished with your piece? You have stated the facts (that were the same before the election as they are now) in a way to imply that something was hidden, made secret, or covered up. Nothing is further from the truth. The three men who claimed that their words and relationships were being twisted restated their complaint to the press. You have revealed nothing new. You have implied something completely false. You have broken a commandment; you have born false witness.
Give me some evidence that Barack agrees with the most vile and repulsive of these three men and then we can talk. Until then, doesn't your Torah require you to hold your tongue.

First of all I dont really think that because I am not a christian I misunderstand what wright was saying...sorry that is just silly on top of that Obama lied about not being there for
Why would you bring up the Hagee thing it has no relevance,John McCain did not sit in Hagees church for 20 years.
As far as Farrakhan, he was instrumental in Obama's Senate campaign and much of his office staff came from his "People"
The problem with Ayers, Wright, and Farrakhan is not that Obama believes in their hate message...IS THAT HE LIED ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP. Those are just 3 of the at least 138 major lies he made during the campaign.
