Barack’s Hallelujah Moment?

By Larry Johnson on May 31, 2008 at 5:15 PM in Barack Obama, Father Michael Pfleger, Race, Race Card, Religion, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Rev. Otis Moss

Praise the Lord he’s seen the light? After 20 years of apparently sleeping thru Jeremiah Wright’s hatefilled, racist sermons, Barack is calling it quits. Does this include Michelle and the kids? No word yet. Will the kids still be subjected to this hate?

A burning question is why is Barack doing this now? Could it be that since there are no more primaries in states with significant numbers of African Americans he can throw those folks away? Let’s pause to recall what Barack had to say about his church. He spread this brochure throughout the South:

Remember when he said he could not disown Jeremiah?

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

But he did. He tossed away Jeremiah Wright.

Barack told us that “words matter.” We believe him. That is why we remember his words about his new young Pastor?

SEN. OBAMA: Well, you know, the new pastor — the young pastor, Reverend Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor.

And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community.

This — I’ll be honest, this obviously has put strains on that relationship, not because of the members or because of Reverend Moss but because this has become such a spectacle.

I guess we can be sure of one thing. Barack is not a bitter man. Or, at least not a bitter white working class stiff. He surely is not clinging to his religion (and I don’t know about guns).

So where does he go? I guess Michael Pfleger’s Catholic parish is out of the question. Probably should add Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam to that list. Maybe he’ll decide to do with black liberation theology what he has done with cigarettes–publicly swear it off but sneak it on the side.

This does not put to bed the legitimate questions about Barack’s judgment in hanging with this group of haters. Do you remember when he warned black audiences in the South that they were being bamboozled and hoodwinked. Well, he was right. But it turns out he was the bamboozler and hoodwinker in chief. And this is change we should believe in? Suckers!!

But the mainstream media will buy it and say it is over as an issue.

rojo

Oh no they won’t.

You can bet McCain and the republicans are going to hit it big, but from the angle that proves what a lying hypocrit Obama is.

Obama got a $100,000 EARMARK for Father Pfleger’s church. That directly contradicts several Obama stands:

Earmarks
Special Interests and his return favors
Father Pfleger, I hardly knew ye

He doesn’t get to end it with this patronizing move.

Isn`t convenient that Father Phlegm came out so it would give him a chance to leave the church. This phony can`t fool me for a minute.

Obama’s press conference statement does not make sense. It is internally inconsistent and defends TUCC. I agree it is a political gimmick only after all the big AA states have voted.

GregA

Wow, after all this, he quits the church now??? I mean, why not before the campgain? At this point, for campaign purposes he this accomplishes NOTHING. And this makes his chuch, the fact that he would back stab his church, makes it more of a liability…

Just wow, I didn’t think it was possible for me to respect someone less than Bush…

http://www.gratisnet.com Bobbski

Can there be any doubt that there are more embarrassment to come from Trinity?

He is trying to distance himself for the sh*t storm on the horizon.

Any doubt that he uis a weasel of the first order should now be erased. For anyone not consuming “The One” Kool-Aid, that is.
BernieO

I was just talking with a friend about the fact that Axelrod was grossly negligent not to have seen this coming. Even Karl Rove had the sense to have Bush distance himself from the far right in the Texas Republican party when he was preparing to run. I remember reading that Bush skipped a big meeting (something like the state Republican convention)because they were so extreme and Rove knew that Bush needed to look more mainstream. What the heck is wrong with Axelrod that he did not get Obama to distance himself back when Obama ran for the Senate?

AF catfish

Or at least pay off Pfleger, Meeks and Wright to keep a lid on it through the primary season. Make monthly payments and threaten to withhold if they fall out of line.

Check out the article here on St. Sabin’s. Axelrod is just as much a part of this as ob.

Ax didn’t throw it under the bus and nobody believes ob did either.
No Fraudz

I wouldn’t be surprised if that gig by the goodly Father was another ‘staged’ production to allow for this very ‘exit’ from the Trinity stage.

Possibly, he was given an outline of the desired outcome, and all he had to do was choose from any of his favourite themes and deliver. His abrupt ending, and sudden recollection of the danger he was putting the Church in, was unbelievable, to say the least.

It is clear that the machiavellian approach to this whole campaign has built-in tactics to counter any potentially deadly event. On the other hand, they will themselves build into the design, deadly tactics to meet their ends, by any means necessary, as they see fit.

It’s like a war that being waged on every possible level. Too much is at stake, clearly.

The mistake is to believe their lying words and trust their shameless faces.

Yes, this is a very complicated, difficult
parasite to untangle oneself from, as it has been at work within the bowels of the party for sometime. And may have built nests outside as well.

Only those who have faced real guerrilla tactics, or read about them, or studied truly deceptive, power-hungry characters, and who understand that there are those who will camouflage their real intent, by using apparently innocent looking practices of the average law-abiding, civil group, will be able to fully see through these ploys.

That means that most of us at this site, have lots more work to do…..educating….as the info slowly trickles out.

Keep the faith, the Cause is more than worthwhile!!

Sheesh, first he throws the grandmother that raised him under the bus, than Wright, now the entire church, it’s new pastor and his friend the priest he got all those earmarks in congress for … isn’t opportunism an interest thing?

Frankly, I think affirmative action and the AA community are going to be the losers here … I think there’s going to be a backlash to all of this and it’s not going to be pretty. I just would like to hope this wouldn’t be the case but I think it will.

Unfortunately, there will be collateral damage in the Precious Campaign; affirmative action, will, at a minimum, be seriously undermined.

Agree with you.

There WILL be a backlash. In November GE, on affirmative action, on “improving” race relations, on trusting the DNC.

Backlash. BIG TIME.

He dodged a question in the the 2nd Philly debate re. Affirmative Action. That takes a lot of gall considering he and Michele both benifited from it just a few short years ago.

Barack has just given another huge advantage to the GOP. This is breathtaking. The Democratic Party was a literal shoe-in for victory with Bush at his lowest ratings. Yet the kamikazi Obama people ran a totally scorched Earth strategy and slimed both Bill and Hillary Clinton as if they were some kind of child molesters.

Now the GOP is celebrating because they have their victory guaranteed. When the GOP uses every dirty trick in the book, “hope” is not going to win a campaign. Hillary had guts, stamina, and fight in her. Obama has only a weak smile and some flowery language. We are screwed for another 4 years. Thanks Obama freaks.

http://liberalrapture scott in jupiter

“When the GOP uses every dirty trick in the book”

At this point they just have to show up.

McCain isn’t even trying and he’s beating barky in the polls.

Ivory Bill Woodpecker

I agree. The GOP won’t need to use voter suppression and vote fraud this time. They won’t even need to slander Plastic Jesus. They will only need to tell the truth about him.

WTF is wrong with the Democratic Establishment?

spamccensor

I disagree.

In fact, I think should Clinton win, she has shown herself to be intellectually superior to the republican and Obama troll boys, and their methods.

Either way she is superior, but don’t tell them.

Guys like Jonathan Singer, and the republican ops might crash.

Lisa S

That is right. Another few months – Obama saying that he never heard Michelle make statements like that. “I can no more disown her…..”
Corel

Obama is an idiot. This is like handing the GOP candy. Their next commercial will now point out how he never had any true faith and was willing to turn his back on his lifelong spiritual community in order to score political points. In fact, this is right out of the Bible. They will pull the quotes from the Bible that specifically condemn such a calculated political move in renouncing our faith in favor of some material gain. I’m almost ready to believe Obama is some kind of shill set up by the GOP.

Jonna

If I worked for the GOP, I’d use what you suggest. Very powerful stuff. I’m loving this!
hillarysmygirl

The GOP has already been suggesting that he never had any true faith. On Fox, when the second wave of Rev. Wright at the Press Club footage came out, the Republicans said that if it was true that Obama never heard or saw any of this while he was a member of the church, that must mean he hardly attended church and declared membership only to attract voters. The Obama campaign says that whenever we (Hillary supporters) say something about Sweetie that it’s just fuel for the Republicans, but trust me, the GOP is more cunning and evil than we could ever hope to be. They’ve been cooking up their strategy for a LONG time, hoping that Sweetie will be our nominee.

I dont know, Obama looks kinda crazy.

Hillary isn’t goofy, like Obama, just because guys like Rove and Axlerod buy into the BS of amatuer psy ops marketing, Clinton shouldn’t.

It makes the boys look unstable.

Cmon, the guy declared himself the victor before the votes were counted to DISCOURAGE Clinton and her supporters, he looks like a kook, kind of like Cheney, and 4th branch.

Stable, serious people don’t do things of this sort, only Hollywood starlets, desperate for attention.

We still have a body of law that the majority of us recognize, even if Axelrod, and guys like Rove are out of touch, and none too bright in peddling their candidates.

It’s a government, not a circus, and not the Sky Bar.

More interesting news: Lynn Sweet of the Sun Times says Axelrod had been making a vidso documentary about Pfleger.

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/05/pfleger_a_headache_for_obama_a.html

Pfleger is the subject of a documentary being made by Chicago-based David Axelrod, Obama’s top strategist. On Friday, Axelrod told me in an e-mail that the film project has “been dormant for much of the last two years due to other commitments.”

Where has Michelle Obama been lately? Do you think Axelrod knows the Whitey video is real and is keeping her away from reporters who will ask her exactly that: did you stand up in Church and rail against Whitey, Michelle? Did you?

Betcha Axelrod thinks if he can just secure the nomination for his boy Barack, then he can fix everything else between now and November.

He only has the best interests of the Democratic Party at heart, of course.

Remember: despite his Islamic name, his personal support for an Islamic ethnic group in Kenya, and his pledge in his own autobiography that “when things get ugly, I will stand with the Muslims,” Barack Obama is actually a committed, believing Christian, blah blah blah…

His comment, “…not because of the members or because of Reverend Moss but because this has become such a spectacle” sounds like he still isn’t repentant of his sins.

Barack has a real problem. I wish him well.

Bring on McCain! I’ll take him any day. Gentleman, war-hero, smart, dedicated, selfless, moderate, a true uniter. That’s what I want.

Let’s start working for McCain. I’d be OK with that. The Democratic party needs an overhaul.

samanthasmom

If McCain chooses someone like Olympia Snowe or Sarah Palin to run with him, and Obama wins the Democratic nomination, I’ll not only campaign for McCain, I’ll send him cash. BTW, check out the date that the Democratic nominee is scheduled to make the acceptance speech at the convention and then check out the date that MLK made his “I Have a Dream Speech”. Coincidence?

MY sane half asks ” How do you resign from a church?!”

Obama’s kid; Stinky daddy why are we not going to our church anymore?

Obama; Well daughter of mine, I can’t be beleived if I don’t throw my church under the bus.

Obama’s kid; What bus?

So Senator Clinton was correct when responding to the “incident” of rev wrights racist propaganda.

“If that was my church I would have left.”

What happened to the argument that TUCC was “representative” of the Black Church? What is TUCC now?

llamajockey

beebop,

I believe the United Church of Christ is actually a remnant of the old Congregationalist Church which traditional was very liberal and progressive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregational_church

I believe Trinity United Church of Christ was a sleepy little church until Jeremiah Wright came along with his late sixties radical Liberation Theology courtesy of the Marxist Rev. James Cone.

Because the United Church of Christ was a non-hierarchical and otherwise liberal protestant sect TUCC was able to morph into the extreme left-wing mega-church nuthouse it is today.

spamccensor

Interesting, I wonder how Wright was funded, and by whom?

llamajockey

I should add the United Church of Christ traditional is very liberal, progressive and WHITE. I think that is why many AA religious church goers took offense that TUCC was in any way representive of most black churches.

I think other more traditional churches like the Baptists would never have put up with Rev. Wright or James Cone.

TUCC is very much a product of an era of White Liberal guilt and political correctness.

allimom99

llamajockey is correct. Both Congregational churches I attended as a youngster were Part of the United Church of Christ, pretty much creative-class liberal WHITE suburbanites. Strong social gospel emphasis, not too judgmental on personal flaws. All in all, pretty white-bread Protestant.

Sara

First we don’t “understand” the black church experience. Then we are led to believe that Obama never heard inflammatory comments, and Trinity turned overnight from a great place to a hate-infested place. Then he distances, then renounces, then more and more and more lies from him (that the media ignores) and his crazed supporters go out of their way to justify his downright sickening associations.

Yes, I am bothered by his association with a place that harbors anti-white and anti-Jewish sentiment (racism is racism just like terrorism is terrorism whether Bill Ayers or Bin Laden is doing it), but I am more bothered by the massive infiltration of faith in politics. I was led to believe for so many years that it was the Republicans who felt driven to intermingle church and state, but the presence and controversy of Obama’s church coupled with his constant references to Jesus (even in his ads) is a very sad thing. Obama has just basically admitted that his judgement is poor. Coupled with his ignorance of history and utter lack of experience, he has given the Repubgs a big gift.

Republicans are smart. No one who is not uber-savvy and manipulative would have been able to do this much damage for two consecutive train-wreck presidencies. The Democrats, with the notable exception of Hillary and very few others, are spineless children who do not like to get their hands dirty for the good of the people.

This rapprochement of religion and politics is disturbing, and the Democrats should be ashamed. McCain is one step closer to the White House.
Ellen Tenn

Obama is the biggest fraud ever. I can’t wait to see the reaction of all the AA members of Trinity. Thanks to Obama, they look like idiots in the press and then he walks away and says he is nothing like them. Ouch! That has got to hurt.

Today is not what we wanted but it is not all bad.

Hillary can appeal the MI outcome to the credentials committee.

She can claim the popular vote since now FL and MI are going to the convention.

She had a net gain of delegates.

Her supporters are pissed off about today’s decision and will redouble their efforts.

Hillary won’t concede and will fight on. I doubt Obama can make it to August 25 without a major scandal breaking. He has way too many skeletons in the closet.

NEVER count out the underdog!

Hillary ’08 + ’12

the numbers in popular vote change since they awarded Obama all the delegates in Michigan, and Clinton doesn’t have the lead again, since the rules commitee threw the uncommited delegates to Obama, including the 30,000 mail in votes all going to Obama, robbing Clinton of 4 delegates earned!

http://www.hillaryclinton.com **== President & Commander-in-Chief Hillary Clinton **==

I’m not sure what you mean. The only popular votes that count are the certified ones by the state. The DNC can’t make any other votes legal. The DNC can only change the delegate situation, not the official vote tally. That official vote tally is etched in stone.

http://www.hillaryclinton.com **== President & Commander-in-Chief Hillary Clinton **==

As I said, Hillary supporters are redoubling their efforts thanks to the rules committee decision. There’s a donation drive going on at Hillary’s blog.

Hillary is not the loser in this fiasco. I seriously doubt that she would waste her talents on the vice presidency because she can increase her stature as a Senator, while Obama moves meekly back to the Senate, his star diminished forever, and continues to be an ineffectual member, after McCain wipes the floor with him in the General. What he will have left is an America more racially divided than ever. Frankly, I think he has ruined the chances for a black president for a long time to come. The white community has had it with black manipulation of the process and preying on so call white guilt. With a vetoproof majority, Dems can keep McCain from doing much harm to the country and
Hillary just has to keep her counsel, do what she is so good at doing…being competent in her work, and 2012 will be just around the corner,and she’ll win what was taken from her in a walk! Go Hillary!!!

I am not surprised at the output of this day. Probably Obama had to throw his church under the bus or lose the Super Ds he needs to fake victory in this primary election. Although HRC did not get what she needed today, there are some good points from today: MI and FL will be seated. All the delegates will be there even if they only have 1/2 vote. If HRC challenges the RBC decision and takes it to the convention floor, she will have the bodies there to try for change. The good thing about today is that this royally p****off the HRC supporters. They are not likely to make nice or recognize Obama’s attempt to annoint himself in MN. The net result of today. Deep fractures are deepened. Obama completes defining himself as a sleazy politician. McCain looks like a solid American. HRC looks like a saint.

Statement from The Clinton Campaign

Harold Ickes and Tina Flournoy made the following statement this evening:

Today’s results are a victory for the people of Florida who will have a voice in selecting our Party’s nominee and will see its delegates seated at our party’s convention. The decision by the Rules and Bylaws Committee honors the votes that were cast by the people of Florida and allocates the delegates accordingly.

We strongly object to the Committee’s decision to undercut its own rules in seating Michigan’s delegates without reflecting the votes of the people of Michigan.

The Committee awarded to Senator Obama not only the delegates won by Uncommitted, but four of the delegates won by Senator Clinton. This decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our Party.

We reserve the right to challenge this decision before the Credentials Committee and appeal for a fair allocation of Michigan’s delegates that actually reflect the votes as they were cast.

It seems to me that Obama has been planning this “resignation” from Trinity, and was waiting for the right time. Obama no longer faces any primary battles in states with large African-American blocs of voters. You could see this shift on Memorial Day when Obama emphasized the “white” side of his family. If I was cynical I would think the Obama campaign actually staged this Pfleger “event” last week to give Obama “cover” for this long-planned strategical decison. The bi-racial candidate is now gong to shift to being “mostly” white for the general election. Assuming, of course, he makes it past Denver.

Jess Wonderin

The “Just-In-Time” revelations that Trinity is “bad” and your point about AA driven primaries is right on target! The bigger problem is the dip shit “loose” delegates NOT understanding that American VOTERS have a high bull shit detection system that all but 30% or so know how to use . . . when the Repug Slime Machine kicks on, Michelle’s rants and Teflon Kid will fold like Doles’ dick when the Viagra wears off . . . a politically crippled old fart may become the WH caretaker until Hillary gets elected in ’12 . . . .

It really is quite astounding that he’s done this. All these months he’s had his talking heads out there defending his church membership and coming up with everything under the sun to excuse his continued membership, not to mention the last 20 years. IMO, he’s made them all look like fools.
No Fraudz

I wouldn’t be surprised if that gig by the goodly Father Pfleger was another ‘staged’ production to allow for this very ‘exit’ from the Trinity stage.

Possibly, he was given an outline of the desired outcome, and all he had to do was choose from any of his favourite themes and deliver. His abrupt ending, and sudden recollection of the danger he was putting the Church in, was unbelievable, to say the least.

It is clear that the machiavellian approach to this whole campaign has built-in tactics to counter any potentially deadly event. On the other hand, they will also build into the design, deadly tactics to meet their ends,….. by any means necessary, as they see fit.

It’s like a war that being waged on every possible level. Too much is at stake, clearly.

The mistake is to believe their lying words and trust their shameless faces.

Yes, this is a very complicated, difficult
parasite to untangle oneself from, as it has been at work within the bowels of the party for sometime. And may have built nests outside as well.

Only those who have faced real guerrilla tactics, or read about them, or studied truly deceptive, power-hungry characters, and who understand that there are those who will camouflage their real intent, by using apparently innocent looking practices of the average law-abiding, civil group, will be able to fully see through these ploys.

That means that most of us here, have lots more work to do…..educating….enlightening….as the facts slowly trickle out.

BTW, my guess is that those AA’s who are going along with Hope, have been told some things that appear ‘really possible’….. and given the brainwashing of the Church attendees for sooooo many years, they “understand” why Mr. Hope, pretends to commit these bus throwing acts.

So they will take no offence. They know it’s intended to just “bamboozle” those who haven’t seen though the razzle dazzle.

As Mrs. Hope said back then before the South Carolina primary, “they ( referring to AA’s) will get it!” Remember?? Study this carefully…..

http://tinyurl.com/3kefzu

Luckily, there are some AA’s who have really “got it”,……… at great risk though, and some of them continue to support Hillary, no matter what.

In fact, just yesterday, a prominent former official of a Civil Rights Group (not sure of the name right now) with a knowing smile on her face, said prophetically, that this (Father Pfleger performance) was not the last scandal to surface ( my words) that something else ALWAYS comes up, …….that another one will! And she had that ‘knowing’ look of certainty on her face!

Not fear!

Not dread!

Not sadness!

Just cool! ….and prophetic!

Calmly pleased!

It was as though she was promising us that prize….she had already seen it delivered to FEDEX.

I saw that as a good sign…….even with the events of today………

Keep the faith, the Cause is more than worthwhile!!
Linda C.

I beleive the Obama campaign is hoping that the electorate has the attention span is his youngin’s bred on nintendo. Get it over with now..so everyone forgets by November.

However, I don’t think the clowns are finished coming out of his car. All these damn distraction for Obama instead of getting on with the real issue of climbing up that mountain of Hope.

I would return the DNC requests for money and told them no money until FL and MI are seated. Since Fl only has half a vote as a generous concession from Obama, I will generously donate half a check

CKA in Red State USA

Barack Obama resigned partly, he said, because of a “cultural and a stylistic gap.” What?

So he agrees with the racially divise, hate-filled junk that Wright and now Moss preaches, but would just say things differently to a broader audience?

Liberal/leftist Obama continues to insult everyone by expecting them to join his lie, the lie that what he says is true, that he is a unifier.

He’s a fraud, an arrogant and narcisstic whiner, disconnected from and disdainful of America–and no amount of disingenuous politically expedient actions will undo that.
Hmm

Umm-too easy.

I think that Obama has a “judgment problem” though don’t you? He seems to be taken in by all these bad people. Not a good quality for a leader.
Publius Novum

Obama is shocked…shocked that these terrible things were being said in his church….and, and, and, those people…they looked like they were enjoying it all….

Why, he had no idea that there were those kinds of things being felt, and spoken, there. After all, he only attended the church briefly…for 20 years, was married there, and, worst of all, exposed his young children to this vile hatred…..

What a pusillanimous, palavering, popinjay!!!

He knew darn well what the church’s dogma was. He knew darn well what revs. Wright and Moss and Phleger were all about. Not only was it politically expedient for him to belong to trinity; it’s warped, Marxist, form of Christianity, black liberation theology, conformed well to his red diaper baby upbringing as well as appealing to the ideals inculcated through his ultra left wing academic experience.

Oddly enough, this episode exposes Obama for the hypocritical, usurpacious, fair weathered friend type of individual he really is. His proclamation of being a new kind of politician, practicing a whole new brand of politics, is pure poppycock!

The only thing remotely revolutionary about his campaign, besides the Marxist idealism exhibit by his Che Guevara loving campaign workers, is his campaign’s brilliant use of the internet to produce at times what appear to be an Orwellian mental synergy, and an ominous cult of personality reminiscent of the former Soviet Union. Otherwise, it is the traditional, opportunistic politics of useful friendships, sordid cloakroom dealings, and vote purchasing constituent pay-offs.

Most of the mainstream media will herald this as a “bold” move that will afford Obama a “fresh” start, unencumbered by any stigma of radical racist associations. In the usual fashion, they will declare that “the debate is over” and “the matter is closed”. Any attempt to question him about his 20 years there will be dismissed as “dwelling on the past” or the perfunctory “distraction from the important issues”.

What’s really important is that if the tables were turned, and anyone else had sat idly by listening to the pontifications of the grand poo-bah of the KKK, or some other white supremacist, he, or she, would have been TOAST long ago. Not only do the mainstream media tolerate reverse racism, most outlets are actively engaged in trying to get Obama elected. I wonder if they really believe in him, or are they emulating the head of the Illinois state legislature; the man who decided he would play king maker and get Obama elected to the US senate.

Exit question; are the mainstream media wanna-be king makers or simply useful idiots; I’ll let you decide………….
