The Audacity Of Being Wright
Barack Obama may no longer be sitting in pews of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, but the words he heard there still echo in his consciousness.
The Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright was back in front of the press microphones speaking with the same virulent, venomous hostility that he became infamous for during the campaign. This man who Obama staunchly defended and described as his spiritual advisor and one of his closest personal friends. This man that Obama refused to renounce saying he could no more disown him than he could his own grandmother. This man who Obama chose to officiate his marriage vows and christen his children. This man who refers to Obama as his son. This man who when asked today if he had spoken with Obama since he became president replied “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me.” He went on to say “They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. … I said from the beginning: He’s a politician; I’m a pastor. He’s got to do what politicians do.”
The “them Jews” of which Reverend Wright speaks are the Zionist aggressors that the good reverend has been warning Barack about for lo these past 20 years. I’m guessing if he could find a way to connect the dots he would blame the Jews for coercing the CIA into bringing the AIDS virus and heroin into the poor black community.
The good reverend took the opportunity to speak to the press while attending the 95th Annual Minister’s Conference, being held this week at Hampton University. Wright mentioned his disappointment with Obama for not sending a delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland. Wright said it was because Obama was counseled to avoid the conference out of fear of offending Jews. “Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don’t want Barack talking like that because that’s anti-Israel,” said Wright.
But why does it matter? Why does it matter after the campaign is over and folks have already put Reverend Wright and his insane rants and anti-Semitic teachings out of sight and out of mind? Why does it matter now that Barack Hussein Obama is in the Oval Office having carried a wide majority of Jewish votes in the election? Why does it matter now that Obama is President and no longer under Wright’s tutelage?
It matters because the President of the United States was a devoted pupil of Reverend Wright for 20 years. It matters because the leader of the free world listened and learned from the parol teachings of this unregenerate paladin of ad hominem hatred. It matters because what this President of Hope and Change learned and accepted as truth from Reverend Wright is now shaping our national foreign policy.
It matters because if you listen to the recent speeches of Barack Obama on the Middle East you can hear Jeremiah Wright’s Anti-Semitic furor.
You can hear it when Obama says that no nation has the right to deny Iran a nuclear program, even though the stated purpose of that country’s Jihadist regime is the total annihilation of Israel.
You can hear it when Obama talks about the important role the violent terrorist organization Hamas can play in the future of the Palestinian government. The same Hamas that recruits mentally handicapped teens, straps them with explosives and sends them into a marketplace to kill Jews.
You can hear it in Obama’s flagitious assessments of greed and corruption in the banking community. For he is not the first national leader to put the blame for all his country’s woes on the backs of the money lenders.
Listen carefully to the student and you will hear the teacher.
That’s why it still matters.
