Daily Show: Billy Graham vs. Jeremiah Wright

By: SilentPatriot on Thursday, May 1st, 2008 at 6:00 PM - PDT

Continuing to be the most respectable name in (fake) news, The Daily Show put Wright’s comments in context last night…well, in the context of controversial things former pastors of all stripes and presidential allegiances have said over the years. Kinda odd that only a Democrat comes under fire, no?

“Billy Graham remains a beloved figure. Jeremiah Wright said things I don’t imagine are much worse than that. Why is he such a flashpoint for controversy?”

A poster at Politico, took the time to pull some excerpts from Obama's books and posted in the comments section of this piece: www.politico.com/new s/stories/0508/10031.html

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students, the foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added, caps. in original) .

"The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart." Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“That hate hadn’t gone away,” [Obama wrote, blaming] “white people— some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) . “[The globe is a place] where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere.... That's the world! On which hope sits.” Barack Hussein Obama (quoting Wright), “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“[Obama vowed that he would] never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm [Malcolm X], DuBois and Mandela.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school…. I studied the Koran….” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“We are no longer just a Christian nation,” “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Barack Hussein Obama, “The Audacity of Hope” (emp. added) .

“Lolo [Obama's step father] followed a brand of Islam.... I looked to Lolo for guidance.” Barack Hussein Obama, “The Audacity of Hope” (emp. added) .

“The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

What is it about 3 degrees of separation from someone that you don't understand?

i don't see the 3 degrees of separation. he attended the church for 20 years and further, Obama can't separate himself from his own writings and orations. he's only doing it now, separating from Wright and flipflopping, because he's doing what's expedient for him politically. certainly his hypocrisy can't be denied.

p.s. ALL politicians do this.

robnoel posted some quotes from a man from whom Wright quoted (that is the 3 degrees I was referring to).
Obama was a member of a congregation that Wright was the respected pastor of for 30 years. A church that was known for its good works in the local community.

Obama has been forced to separate himself because of the media circus over Wright. A totally unfair circus. The quotes from Wright (not the quotes from the person Wright quoted that robnoel posted) have been taken out of context, blown out of proportion by the media and repeated over and over.

Obama is running for president, not Wright!

When did the media ever care about what someone's pastor said at some point in 30 years of preaching! Never! They had to go through hours of sermons to find snippets to use against Wright - and then somehow make it against Obama. And Fox News, O'Reilly and Limbaugh are leading the charge. Can't you smell the BS?!

Hillary and McCain have much stranger and exotic religious connections than Obama but the media is silent.

And when Ron Paul did not come out on the side of 9/11 Truth was he not being politically expedient? We all understood.

“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds
Hillary: "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran in the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

to make Obama out to be an extremist anti-Semite that you don't understand?

To the best of my knowledge no has acussed him of being a anti-Semite after all he has vowed his support of Israel at the expense of the "oppressed" palistiniens which is kind of strange considering he is for the oppressed....you hitched your wagon to him and can't deal with the fact he is not going to become President.....deal with it.....

Justin Raimondo explains here how not directly calling Obama an antisemite, but everyone he ever knew as an extremist, is working very well.

Of course he said he supports Israel, but to what degree is the question.

I'm well aware that they don't call it the White House b/c of the paint job, but I am glad to see him fighting anyway.

BTW, I have not "hitched" my "wagon" to him, but I am happy to defend him against the likes of O'Reilly, Limbaugh and Fox News.

The War Party has it in for Obama, why don't you see that?

someone somewhere is deliberately fucking with Americans' heads.

Yep, I'm honestly surprised at how many racists Obama has brought out of the closet. Doesn't make any differece about the real issues - they just keep trying to scare the hell out of white America. Even here on the forum, you can easily pick out the white sheet and hood crowd.

Racist... a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

For those of us who live in the real world we have accepted that "not all men are created equal" don't try and use the "We hold these truths" because the founders were talking about "monarche" or "hereditary" if you like.

Thinking that we as two legged animals differ from our four legged friends is bordering on the naive

yes, he was....and if you recall, i was one of his biggest criticizers for that. i hate the political game of saying what's politically expedient. maybe i'm being naive, but i say go for broke. speak truth to power. it's late enough in the game that we the people have nothing left but that. we'll never win any other way.

maybe because we see that the WAR Party isn't just the GOP. it's the Democrat party as well. iow, the National Party. have you forgotten that nothing changed when the supposed anti-war dems took power two years ago? have you seen the Democrats refuse to continue to fund this mess? no, they're complicit in the furtherance of it. onward IRAN and Syria(?) and Pakistan(?) and god knows who else.

The only race I want eliminated from America...is the Marxist-Fascist Establishment race.

i disagree. it's his positions and socialist politics, in large part because of his own racism. i.e. adherence to Black Liberation Theology.

http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=lI77cU3jsFs&eurl=http://www.freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/mailread.cgi? mn=66080&mf=I

it's apparently ok and accepted as not racist when said by a black/white man.

He loses on issues alone. That race was injected was the fault of his party, and that his views in his own words are racist is a fact people do not like.

That we are to overlook his domestic policy, measure his deeds by a different stick, and be thumped for objecting to stupid socialistic schemes, is frankly, insane.

Then, you call racism, when reason is added to ensure understanding.

You know, the one wearing the hood, is you. If you could just cut in some eyeholes, perhaps it would help you see what you are NOT doing to help this candidate or even the cause for reconciliation.

A well educated, articulate, intelligent black man literally scares the hell out of many whites. That's why they keep making stuff up about Obama and pointing the racist finger at him. I haven't heard anything coming out of Black Liberation Theology that even compares to some of the really frightening crap coming from many of the better known white preachers. White racism appeals to the weak minded and under educated. Politician know how easily they are manipulated and controled by fear.

Bag the white guilt, Bub. I can't afford his domestic liberalism, and his foreign policy is to move troops from Iraq to Afghanistan along with billions in newly printed dollars from the Fed. And we dare oppose such genius on the grounds of his color? Show me instances. Your argument is as hollow as is his 'army' of newly registered voters who failed to show up for him last Tuesday in Pennsylvania. The bloom is off his rose, and even more delightful, it's off his wing of the National Party. They're about to choose him based on political correctness; if they rejected a black who has come this close, the black bloc would splinter off, perhaps forever. Hillary, Rendell and Ferraro are correct; she is the better candidate afa beating McCain and he is unelectable.

Lie. Using his own words is not making stuff up.. deal with it.

I haven't heard anything coming out of Black Liberation Theology that even compares to some of the really frightening crap coming from many of the better known white preachers.

Proof please. Is there a white reparations pastor advising one of the other candidates?

White racism appeals to the weak minded and under educated.

Ah but when 99% of blacks vote for blacks it's not racist is it?

What about racism and this open dialog that Obama called for, is more important than our country facing imminent collapse?

Politician know how easily they are manipulated and controled by fear.

And Obama is controlled by?????????????

They are the latest, and by far the worst, product of the "lesser of evils" voting strategy. The Establishment is now comfortable offering us Moe, Larry and Curly, while the dip sticks among us actually try to convince folks there's a difference.

I can't even believe there is any effort to defend any one of these people. All the wasted time and effort. And why it has been perpetrated upon the folks here, is curious.

For what and by whom? To ensure the status quo wins again?

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."

"I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
