America seems to be in a lot of trouble. We have a possible Democratic presidential candidate who has been spiritually mentored by a black pastor who is clearly a madman. Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright, actually said things out loud that any true American would never agree with. This is unparalleled in American history and we should now be very suspicious of Senator Obama.

For those of you unaware of Wright’s horrifying “hate speech,” here is a sample.



This is disturbing. I cannot believe any politician would be associated with a man who uses such hateful language. Never in the history of America have we faced such a troubling situation. We have a long history of compassionate and loving religious leaders influencing our political leaders.

It seems like just yesterday that the kind and wonderful Religious Right leader Francis Schaeffer was delivering his loving words to America.


There does come a time when force, even physical force, is appropriate...This brings us to a current issue that is crucial for the future of the church in the United States, the issue of abortion... It is time we consciously realize that when any office commands what is contrary to God's law it abrogates its authority. And our loyalty to the God who gave this law then requires that we make the appropriate response in that situation...


God bless him and his sweet call for the violent overthrow of the US government. Years of making these types of comments got Francis invited to lunch with Presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and George Bush Sr. – as he should have been. He was a true American.

Wright’s comments, on the other hand, are inexcusable, especially when compared with some of our nation’s greatest spiritual leaders, like Pat Robertson.


If I could just get a nuclear device inside Foggy Bottom, I think that's the answer. We've got to blow that thing up.


He was right, of course. Foggy Bottom is the nickname for the State Department’s DC headquarters. Pat knows that the State Department has spent years trying to kill us and therefore, should be annihilated with a nuclear weapon. God bless him for his kind and understanding heart.

Comments like this are the reason George W. Bush relied on Pat Robertson as a trusted consultant. And we should be thankful that he did so, unlike the horrible Jeremiah Wright, who clearly hates America. See, President Bush understands that Pat does not have a hateful bone in his body. The nuclear weapon Pat spoke of was made by Jesus. He only wants what is right for our country and the people living on her soil.


"I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you, This is not a message of hate -- this is a message of redemption. But a condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs; it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes, and possibly a meteor." –Pat Robertson, on "gay days" at Disneyworld.


Pat is just carrying on the tradition of warmhearted American spiritual leaders. The recently departed Reverend Jerry Falwell was another great man of God. After 9/11 he helped to heal our nation.


The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.


God bless you, Reverend Falwell -- and Pat Robertson for agreeing. Statements like this are the reason Falwell had an open line to the White House and called whenever he wanted.

Falwell's passing was a great loss, according to our political leaders.

John McCain


I join the students, faculty, and staff of Liberty University and Americans of all faiths in mourning the loss of Reverend Jerry Falwell. Dr. Falwell was a man of distinguished accomplishment who devoted his life to serving his faith and country.


George W. Bush


A man who cherished faith, family, and freedom. As the founder of Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, Jerry lived a life of faith and called upon men and women of all backgrounds to believe in God and serve their communities.


Yes, indeed. George even sought the advice of his "loyal friend" Jerry when selecting Supreme Court nominees.

John McCain’s has a new friend, pastor John Hagee, who has often expressed his Jesus-like views of the Katrina disaster.


All hurricanes are acts of God because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that.


Bless you, John Hagee, that is exactly why you have "the ear of the White House." You embody the spirit of Jesus and American patriotism.


"Could it be that America, who refuses to defend Israel from the Russian invasion, will experience nuclear warfare on our east and west coasts?" He says yes, citing Genesis 12:3, in which God said to Israel: "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you."


Preach on, brother! Clearly the man loves America, because he says the liberal coasts will experience nuclear warfare. That’s patriotism. Hateful Jeremiah Wright could learn something from love filled John Hagee.

Jeremiah Wright’s language is so hateful that I can barely contain myself. How dare anybody know him! Look at this drivel.


The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.

We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye.

We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.


It’s not the kind of speech we are used to hearing from our white, white, and very white ministers. It doesn’t include the usual simplistic attack on a minority because of their sexuality. Nor does it justify the deaths of thousands because of their ideology. Wright does not call for the death of American citizens living on the coasts of America and he doesn’t hope for the nuclear destruction of a department of the US government. What a jerk.

Wright has the gall to suggest that there is a link between the United State’s bombing of or meddling in other countries, and the desire of fanatics to attack America. The last thing America wants is to hear someone speak the truth. For God’s sake, the man is saying there is a cause and effect relationship. BUT HE’S NOT BLAMING QUEERS! Didn’t he get the fucking memo? God lets terrorists kill us because men are putting their penises in other men’s bottoms.

Here are the things Jesus hates:


    The State Department
    The IRS
    Global Warming
    The UN (Oh man, does Jesus hate the UN)
    Old Europe
    Gays (duh)
    Liberals
    Jews
    Muslims
    Anybody but Christians, actually
    People who don’t own guns
    Soccer
    ACLU
    Abortionists
    Feminists


That's it. Anything not on that list, Jesus does not hate. Those are the subjects our spiritual leaders are allowed to cover. Or, at least our white religious leaders.

This entire “controversy” never would have erupted if Wright was a white man. That is so fucking obvious – and if you don’t think so, then you are a moron. This is white America getting angry at an uppity black man. This is the side of the US that whites would like very much to keep hidden away, out of view. Angry blacks are supposed to shoot and murder, not speak in ways that force us to think. This is the kind of shit that makes us look at ourselves and we don’t like it. That’s two hundred years of justifiable anger. A lot of people thought they were getting a nice house Negro in Obama, but now they find out he's been hanging out with the angry field Negroes. And they lost their minds. The hypocritical reaction of those who give the Robertsons of the world a pass is sickening.

God damn America is right.

The Republicans idiots will continue to hammer this point home, even after what may have been the best speech in modern politics two days ago. They will ignore the vile hate spewing out of the mouths of their insane religious leaders and continue their constant attacks on Wright. And no “journalist” will ever call if for the obvious racist attack it is. Because this America -- and we have the worst media in the free world.

Right fucking on!!!!

These white evangelicals have been spewing these doctrines of hate for as long as I can remember and beyond... reguritating this venomous verbal terrorism with impunity.

It s this kind of rhetoric that justified the genocide of the Native Americans, the enslavement of Africans and the atrocities commited against Chinese rail-workers. White evangelicals were on the forefront in fighting against womens sufferage and the civil rights movements of African-Americans, Hispanics... and now gays/lesbians.

They advocate hatred, intolerance, persecution and oftentimes violence against all who are not of their kind.

These are not the teachings of the gentle master who graced this world some 2000 years ago... a master they claim to serve.


Indeed he said...

"Many will come unto to me and say... 'Lord have I not done great wonders in thy name.' And I will say... I know thee not!"

Hope you're enjoying your stay in Hell, Mr Falwell...

I'm actually rather furious that somehow Obama didn't GAIN ground after his speech. I agree, it was one of the finest speeches given by a politician since...well, I don't remember hearing a better one in my lifetime.

Fuck yes, thank you for putting this all into one place. I really hope Obama's speech can shake some people awake, but it probably won't because he spoke like an adult should speak to other adults.

This is more true than you may know. Newspapers are written around a 6th-8th grade reading level. No Child Left Behind is teaching test answers instead of critical though processes. Obama spoke as an intelligent adult should speak to other intelligent adults. That is how all his speeches are. And they go right over the head of so many people.

i think ftr's entire argument is bunk. it should be obvious to anyone with common sense...god doesn't hate global warming! global warming was made up by seculo-homo-environmento-fascists who want to stop the rest of us from using the pure, rich nectar of the earth that god gave directly to lee raymond to use for the benefit of wealthy, obese americans. anyone who loves jesus oves oil and money, duh.

even if global warming were real, god would love it because it would choke out and make arid the lands of all of those seculo-homo-environmento-fascists who are so intolerant of jesus. come on, doesn't anyone remember the part of the bible where god turned to pilars of salt all those who treated others human beings with kindness and dignity?

Ralph Fiennes's (sp?) portrayal of Charles van Doren giving his concession speech to Congress in the film "Quiz Show" is the only speech I can say I know of that is on par with eloquence to the one Obama gave the other day.

From The Daily Show


Jon Stewart began with a clip of Reverend Wright thundering, "The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America'? No, no, no, God damn America."

He then showed various pundits claiming that these remarks could sink Obama's candidacy. Stewart summarized their statements as "Yeah, I mean we all love Jesus, but why do you have to be so black and angry about it?"

Stewart turned from that to Obama's speech, beginning with his suggestion that "the politically safe thing to do would be to move on from this episode and just hope that it fades into the woodwork."

"Yes! Move on!" applauded Stewart. "Nothing to see here people, it all goes away. I'm sure another governor will fellate a donkey and we'll all hear about that. ... We can pretend this whole thing never happened."

"For the men and women of Reverend Wright's generation," Obama continued, "the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away, nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years."

"Black anger real?" asked Stewart, nervously pulling out a remote control and clicking it. "Okay, the doors are locked. I'm ready to hear another diatribe about white America."

"A similar anger exists within segments of the white community," said Obama, before concluding with the hope that "We can come together and say, 'Not this time.'"

"And so, at 11 o'clock AM on a Tuesday, a prominent politician spoke to Americans about race as though they were adults," commented Stewart, to applause and cheers.

Stewart then turned to "Senior Black Correspondent" Larry Wilmore, suggesting "So you guys in private, you're pretty mad? ... Let's start a dialog."

Wilmore took up the offer. "Little pet peeve," he began. "Music. You guys have a tendency to, you know, ruin it. You know, like jazz. ... You guys take it and turn it into Kenny G."

"If I may," Stewart came back. "On the topic of music ... a lot of times when you guys are driving down the street, it's really loud. And, er, we hate that."

"Just tell 'em to turn it down," said Wilmore. "That's what I do."

"We would, but -- we're scared," Stewart replied.

"I get it," replied Wilmore, understandingly. "That makes complete sense."




It's the torch and pitchfork crowd who is holding on to this story, if you ask me.

I wish Fox hadn't locked down all the videos of President Camacho's State of The Union speech, he knows how to talk to the public. This transcript will have to suffice
