Bill is not interested in the truth but rather making White supremists believe they are superior to something and middle American Whites feel threatened. It’s amazing that neither he, Biggie Paws Limbaugh, or Hannity (alias I need a wig comb) have the guts to appear on any nationally syndicated program where the listenership doesn’t look like them. Why? Because they know that if they come outside their cushioned offices and face real people with real issues (that can’t be treated with Prozac or Xanax) they wouldn’t be able to stand the heat. All three heathens continue to perpetuate everything that that makes America the laughingstock of the world. We talk a good game but when the rubber meets the road the whole world knows we can’t resolve racism, homelessness, or hunger over here so why try to fix it elsehere.

Folks, I don’t mind folks going back and forth, debating the issues. But I will not tolerate individuals who use foul language in their posts. If you do, I will delete EVERY post of yours and ban you from the board. If you post, I will delete.

Learn to talk with the language. This is the way it is – NOW.

WOW ! Hillary’s Religion (cult?) ‘THE FAMILY’ Very Scary !
Prays To Jesus For The Elite To Rule The World !

(Where’s The Media On This ?????)

The media has repeatedly aired the short clips of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s rhetoric in attempt to discredit and smear Barack Obama. But what’s even more interesting is the fact that the media never discusses Hillary Clinton’s religion, which is extremely telling and even frightening. A closer look into her ‘religion’ gives one a clearer picture of why she is the way she is.In a recent article by Steven Brandt many truths about Hillary’s religion, called ‘ The Family’ will make you shudder. The question is….where’s the media on this one ?

Brandt writes, “You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.” said Hillary Clinton, to reporters and editors of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Tuesday the 25th. This is an interesting choice of words, since — while we mostly hear about her Methodist upbringing — Hillary Clinton has chosen to associate herself with The Family (also known as the Fellowship), a very conservative, fundamentalist organization started by Abraham Vereide…

“…an immigrant preacher who in 1935 organized a small group of businessmen sympathetic to European fascism, fusing the Far Right with his own polite but authoritarian faith. From that core, Vereide built an international network of fundamentalists who spoke the language of establishment power, a “family” that thrives to this day. In public, they host prayer breakfasts; in private they preach a gospel of “biblical capitalism,” military might, and American empire. Citing Hitler, Lenin, and Mao, Doug Coe, the Family’s current leader, declares, “We work with power where we can, build new power where we can’t.”

This quote is taken from the book on The Family by the same name which will be published in May… a book which claims to

“…dramatically challenge conventional wisdom about American fundamentalism, revealing its crucial role in the unraveling of the New Deal, the waging of the Cold War, and the no-holds-barred economics of globalization. The question Sharlet believes we must ask is not “What do fundamentalists want?” but “What have they already done?”

A long article was written about Hillary Clinton’s participation in this organization last September in Mother Jones, and The Family, itself, was the subject of an extensive article in Harper’s in March of 2003. And on March 21st, The Nation published an article on Hillary and The Family by Barbara Ehrenreich that was published on The Huffington Post and CBS News’ web site.

The Family avoids the word Christian but worships Jesus, though not the Jesus who promised the earth to the “meek.” They believe that, in mass societies, it’s only the elites who matter, the political leaders who can build God’s “dominion” on earth. Insofar as The Family has a consistent philosophy, it’s all about power – cultivating it, building it and networking it together into ever-stronger units, or “cells.”…wrote Ms.Ehrenreich.

Is it possible that Hillary’s participation in this fundamentalist group — which apparently preaches the “gospel of military might” — would help explain her vote in favor of authorizing President Bush to attack Iraq? Is it possible her pro-NAFTA stance during her husband’s administration comes from its embrace of “the no-holds-barred economics of globalization”? Is it possible that the sense some get that Hillary feels entitled to be president comes in part from this group’s belief that “it’s only the elites who matter”?
I encourage any reporter covering Hillary’s campaign to ask her about all this.

At a time when so many people are wondering what sort of effect the Rev. Wright’s sermons may have had on Barack Obama, I think it’s only fair to ask what sort of effect The Family’s fundamentalist mission has had – and continues to have – on Hillary Clinton. We know that George Bush engages in truly fundamentalist thinking. There is no person or new information capable of challenging his belief that what he already knows is right. Is Hillary Clinton like this in some way? I am not sure.

But the opinion I have formed from this is that – while Hillary Clinton may be considered a Liberal by many – on the inside she is a deeply Conservative person… possibly as close to being a Republican today as she was when she was a young woman supporting Senator Goldwater. This helps explain, to me, why she and John McCain are such good friends. They are both drawn to the use of military power and free market capitalism… and to taking money from lobbyists. The other opinion I have formed is that those who say there are no policy differences between Hillary and Barack haven’t taken into account how their religious differences might impact the policies they would actually seek to implement as president.
(end of article)

So now a few things make more sense about Hillary. In review, she’s in a kinda power-hungry cult which is actually run by her fellow Republicans which she is secretly one of ! It also makes sense why she could care less about detroying the Democratic Party. Also, beware of her claim to work toward ending the Iraq war. That is another great lie that she is telling. If you listen to her claims she commonly repeats ‘ I will start getting troops out within my first 60 days ‘…..How many ? 3….1000…10,000 ? Don’t be fooled. Hillary has no desire to end the war. She’ll bring 5 troops home then say that she kept her word.

The media should be called out for not exposing this cult. Problem is, they would also be revealing the truths about their fellow Republican’s plan and prayers to ‘rule the world’ by any means. So it’s up to us, regular Americans like you and I, to help spread the truth in spite of the media…..For The Re-Birth of America !

If this Wright conversation come up again, I think it is important to point out that the untouchable Billy Graham in many respects was worst than Wright.

Yes even the great Billy Graham who was advisor to 9 presidents was opposed to a Catholic (John Kennedy) from becoming president and accused “the satanic Jews” of controlling the media (Nixon tapes of 1972)

Pat Robertson, had his own phrase of “America’s chickens coming home to roost” when he declared Katrina was God’s retribution for abortions.

Graham, Roberson, or Jeremiah Wright, are not Presidents of the United States and their comments don’t matter.

Just the Facts!! Google it

Here is the correct one.

Here is an article that appeared on ABC NEWS online (www.abcnews.com), today regarding Hillary Clinton, and HER religious affiliation.
Justin Rood Reports:
Stories on the “stealth” ministry of Douglas Coe have been cropping up recently on blogs and online publications, linking him unfavorably to Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.
Comparing Coe to Obama’s inflammatory pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barbara Ehrenreich wrote HuffingtonPost.com, “When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she’s a lot more vulnerable than Obama.”
But the story may not be so simple. Indeed, as Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign confirmed yesterday, he has also attended Coe’s prayer meetings.
Coe’s group, “the Fellowship,” reportedly shuns publicity while focusing on ministering to those in power in the United States and around the world. In Washington, D.C., Coe sponsors a weekly Senate prayer breakfast and an annual National Prayer Breakfast regularly attended by U.S. presidents.
Coe’s group has been called “shadowy,” and Coe has made some unusual comments which have raised more than a few eyebrows. In recorded presentations, he has seemed to praise Hitler and other totalitarian leaders for brutally enforcing their followers’ allegiance to doctrine over allegiance to family, and suggesting that was a model for teaching children about Jesus.
“[T]here is something deeply strange about the group,” wrote Atlantic magazine’s Joshua Green, who has reported extensively on Coe’s Fellowship and Hillary Clinton.
Ehrenreich and others have noted that Hillary has been a REGULAR attendee at his weekly prayer meetings, and spoke warmly of Coe in her autobiography, “Living History.”
But if Clinton has a Coe problem, then it seems Obama would also: a quick call to the Obama campaign elicited a confirmation that the junior senator from Illinois had also attended “a couple” of Coe’s meetings. And, like Clinton reportedly has, Obama spoke at one of the meetings about his faith, spokesman Bill Burton confirmed.

When Jeremiah Wright appeared on FOX NEWS’s Hannity and Colmes, program on March 2, 2007, Jeremiah Wright said these words when asked this question by Alan Colmes:

COLMES (HOST): But I want to ask you about your church that the public understands. I want the public to understand where your church is coming from, because you’re being accused of being a black separatist church, and thus Obama is being accused by default of being a black separatist. Can you straighten that out for us, please?

WRIGHT: OK. The African-centered point of view does not assume superiority, nor does it assume separatism. It assumes Africans speaking for themselves as subjects in history, not objects in history. It comes from the principles of Kawaida the second principle being Kuji Salawi (ph), which is self-determination, us naming ourselves, and not saying we are superior to anybody! We have no hierarchical arrangement! When you say an African-centered way of thinking, African-centered philosophy, African-centered theology, you’re talking about one center. We’re talking about something that’s different. And different does not mean deficient… nor does it mean superior or inferior! The whole notion of hierarchal, one’s superior, we must be separate because we’re better, that has absolutely nothing to do with…
Now I know full well why this statement by Jeremiah Wright is not being publicized by Fox News, and run over, and over, and over like the few second of the sermons he gave, BUT what I do not understand is why CNN, and ABC NEWS, and CBS news (supposedly fair and balanced news sources), have not found this FOX NEWS TRANSCRIPT, (which I was able to find quite easily by simply googling: Jeremiah Wright, and Fox News.

Roland I ask that you google: FOX NEWS and Jeremiah Wright, and find, and read the transcript of Jeremiah Wright’s appearance on FOX NEWS.

Also please use your voice to inform your audience, (whether, on radio, or television), of the OTHER views of Jeremiah Wright as it was expressed out of his own mouth. The media seems intent on characterizing Jeremiah Wright on just a few seconds of a few sermons, maybe they should also hear what else the man has to say. This should enlighten some people, and hopefully quiet the insinuations, and proclamations by the mainstream media that Jeremiah Wright is racist.

Keep on pressing to get the truth out I appreciate you. As for O’Rielly, the man is not even germane or relevant to anything I am thinking about with the exception of how to put a stop to madness.

This is my first time commenting on your blog. I blog my thoughts alot in other places but for the particular thoughts I want to express today I decided your blog site would be the best place to launch a wave of thoughts. As my moniker suggests I am but a simple man eeking out a simple existence in this country. I do not consider myself all that. I have been stimulated though to share my thoughts during this election season because so much has transpired that I could no longer be silent.

Read the documents found at the two links below. Digest the thoughts and then consider the three candidates. These documents came about because there is such junk coming out of the MSM regarding this presidential campaign.

To all, may life be a journey worth taking.

Why haven’t the media address this issue about Clinton campaign?

CLINTON EX EMPLOYEE: CAMPAIGN MADE UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES ON MY VISA

Clinton finance committee member leaves after unauthorized charges
By Matt Friedman

A member of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign’s finance committee resigned last month after she said the campaign billed her credit card thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges. She is now backing Barack Obama, according to a post she made on Bluejersey.com.

Kathy Callahan, a Psychotherapist from Ridgefield, said that after making an initial donation of $2,000 to the Clinton campaign with her credit card, she was repeatedly charged at least $3,500 more.

“They had my number on file and they kept using it like it was their own. I was blindsided,” she said in a telephone interview with PolitickerNJ.

After trying to get her money back, Callahan said that a Clinton official said “”Kathy Callahan, you are going to be with us all the way to the White House…So let’s leave the money where it is and we’ll save time on inevitable future donations and transactions!”

Reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show Callahan donating $5,500 to the Clinton campaign between March and October of 2007 – that’s $900 more than the legal limit of $4,600 for the primary and general elections combined. She received $5,800 back from the campaign – $1,200 on November 2nd and three separate checks for a total of $4,600 in December.

After a month of trying and failing to get the bulk of her money back, with the exception of the one refund in November, Callahan eventually filed a report with the Ridgefield Police Department – at which point she said she was reimbursed her money by the campaign.

I guess all the investigative reporters are in Iraq.

There are known facts, as Jeremiah Wright stated, that the American government injected Blacks with syphillis and Africans with aids, which in the early 80s was a disease associated with white males. I challenge anyone in the media to prove the statements wrong, instead of spending so much time on disputing it without FACTS. Breaking News! CNN Investigates Wrigths’ Claims. Wow, there’s a start!

Say Hillary, What About The Religious “Family”

Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior

As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.

The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.

Read entire story here. http://www.northstarwriters.com/dc163.htm

I mention this issue with sensitivity. On Sunday a Tampa radio station interviewed Rev. Art Jones pastor of the Bible Base Baptist church specifically to ask what the Black ministers thought about the Rev. Wright situation with Sen. Obama.

Rev Jones pointed out the situation in the Catholic church relative to the preist and our children and asked how many catholics left the church or did the ones who stayed have forgiveness in their hearts, prayed as christians do and moved on. He pointed it out because many who critize Rev Wright are in worst situations, however, with love, pray and understanding of God’s word know the meaning of true christianity. Pastor Jones said every minister says something that members don’t agree with. He also indicated that if everytime a pastor said something members did not agree with they would be changing churches endlessly. The key is forgiveness, prayer and commitment to God’s word. He pointed out that the media just don’t understand or choose to understand God’s holy church. It was an amazing interview.

You’ll notice Roland will ignore you also.

Why haven’t you been on CNN lately? I saw you battling it out with Lou Dobbs over the Wright controversy!!! I felt so bad for you.!!! The fact is that CNN has turned on Barack since Barack made the comments about Lou Dobbs and the immigration issue. I used to like Lou Dobbs. But he appears to be the opposite of FOX news on the immigration issue. Good luck to you and hang in there because you no your stuff.

What would you think of the idea of whites on BET?

Just to be….fair?

——————————————————————————–
There’s a reason Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent during the flap over intemperate remarks by Barack Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she’s a lot more vulnerable than Obama.

You can find all about it in a widely under-read article in the September 2007 issue of Mother Jones, in which Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet reported that “through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as “The “Fellowship,” also known as The Family. But it won’t be a secret much longer. Jeff Sharlet’s shocking exposé The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power will be published in May.

Sean Hannity has called Obama’s church a “cult,” but that term applies far more aptly to Clinton’s “Family,” which is organized into “cells” – their term – and operates sex-segregated group homes for young people in northern Virginia. In 2002, Sharlet joined The Family’s home for young men, forswearing sex, drugs and alcohol, and participating in endless discussions of Jesus and power. He wasn’t undercover; he used his own name and admitted to being a writer. But he wasn’t completely out of danger either. When he went outdoors one night to make a cell phone call, he was followed. He still gets calls from Family associates asking him to meet them in diners – alone.

The Family’s most visible activity is its blandly innocuous National Prayer Breakfast, held every February in Washington. But almost all its real work goes on behind the scenes – knitting together international networks of right-wing leaders, most of them ostensibly Christian. In the 1940s, The Family reached out to former and not-so-former Nazis, and its fascination with that exemplary leader, Adolf Hitler, has continued, along with ties to a whole bestiary of murderous thugs. As Sharlet reported in Harper’s in 2003:

During the 1960s the Family forged relationships between the U.S. government and some of the most anti-Communist (and dictatorial) elements within Africa’s postcolonial leadership. The Brazilian dictator General Costa e Silva, with Family support, was overseeing regular fellowship groups for Latin American leaders, while, in Indonesia, General Suharto (whose tally of several hundred thousand “Communists” killed marks him as one of the century’s most murderous dictators) was presiding over a group of fifty Indonesian legislators. During the Reagan Administration the Family helped build friendships between the U.S. government and men such as Salvadoran general Carlos Eugenios Vides Casanova, convicted by a Florida jury of the torture of thousands, and Honduran general Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, himself an evangelical minister, who was linked to both the CIA and death squads before his own demise.

At the heart of The Family’s American branch is a collection of powerful right-wing politicos, who include, or have included, Sam Brownback, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft, James Inhofe and Rick Santorum. They get to use The Family’s spacious estate on the Potomac, The Cedars, which is maintained by young men in Family group homes and where meals are served by The Family’s young women’s group. And, at The Family’s frequent prayer gatherings, they get powerful jolts of spiritual refreshment, tailored to the already powerful.

Clinton fell in with The Family in 1993, when she joined a Bible study group composed of wives of conservative leaders like Jack Kemp and James Baker. When she ascended to the Senate, she was promoted to what Sharlet calls the Family’s “most elite cell,” the weekly Senate Prayer Breakfast, which included, until his downfall, Virginia’s notoriously racist Senator George Allen. This has not been a casual connection for Clinton. She has written of Doug Coe, The Family’s publicity-averse leader, that he is “a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God.”

Furthermore, The Family takes credit for some of Clinton’s rightward legislative tendencies, including her support for a law guaranteeing “religious freedom” in the workplace, such as for pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions and police officers who refuse to guard abortion clinics.

What drew Clinton into the sinister heart of the international right? Maybe it was just a phase in her tormented search for identity, marked by ever-changing hairstyles and names: Hillary Rodham, Mrs. Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton and now Hillary Clinton. She reached out to many potential spiritual mentors during her White House days, including New Age guru Marianne Williamson and the liberal rabbi Michael Lerner. But it was the Family association that stuck.

Sharlet generously attributes Clinton’s involvement to the under-appreciated depth of her religiosity, but he himself struggles to define The Family’s theological underpinnings. The Family avoids the word Christian but worships Jesus, though not the Jesus who promised the earth to the “meek.” They believe that, in mass societies, it’s only the elites who matter, the political leaders who can build God’s “dominion” on earth. Insofar as The Family has a consistent philosophy, it’s all about power – cultivating it, building it and networking it together into ever-stronger units, or “cells.” “We work with power where we can,” Doug Coe has said, and “build new power where we can’t.”

Obama has given a beautiful speech on race and his affiliation with the Trinity United Church of Christ. Now it’s up to Clinton to explain – or, better yet, renounce – her long-standing connection with the fascist-leaning Family.

You are a true American! I am constantly mystified by your cerebral-self. You are true and fair to the facts. Why don’t you have your own show on CNN?!?! You blow away every anchor on that network. CNN if your listening we want “ROLAND TV” now!

And Hannity…its time to put up or shut-up you little weasel. I can hardly look at you.

Sorry, correcting my blog addy.

Something else, I guarantee that Hillary has listened to the entire tape and still in spite of that, she tried to throw Obama up under the bus, by bringing up the subject again, when she got caught lying about the Bosnia trip. You know, that was the point that I lost respect for her. The media played her speech, talking about this sniper fire stuff, and played the tape of what actually happened. I was sad for her. I just thought to myself, how sad. How could you be running for president and make up a lie like that. And while I was feeling sorry for her in getting caught in a lie, then she brings up the Rev. Wright comment, that did it for me. I could never vote for her even if she got the nomination. Nobody should want anything that bad.

FAUXSnooze is truly despicable – “Breaking News” stories – all day yesterday – about Reverend Wright canceling speaking engagements? Unless I missed something VERY big, when did the Reverend announce his candicacy for president?

Their tag line SHOULD read – “FAUXNews – We Report, You Decide Whether It’s TRUTH or not.” But they are fully aware that their viewers are too lazy to find the TRUTH. Why bother when their attention span only lasts as long as a really good sound-byte? Exactly the kind of viewer FAUX NEEDS.

May God grant you the surrenity and even more knowledge to deal with your position on the National stage of political commentary. You do Chicago, WVON, Black Folks and the Nation at large proud. Your commentary is knowledgible as well as charitable and a true service to America at Large. As far as Bill Rilley and FOXNEWS are concerned they are ignorant as well as bias so consider the source. The are not interested in the truth or anything representing truth and I doubt he will take you up on your debate of the truth. However, don’t worry, as my mother use to tell my sister and I “Two things in this world you can’t keep down thats Truth and Oil, they both rise
and generally at the most un-opportune Time. Arommia

I am an adult, and I am able to distinguish between Barach Obama the candidate, and Jerimiah Wright the minister.

So, I am still firmly in Obama’s camp! He is our best hope for now!

Imagine a presidential candidate who believed that God wanted him to run for president because American needed him. Picture a secretive group of Washington insiders who meet quietly to mix religion, class and politics and who believe in an elite group of people divinely ordained to run the country and the world. Now envision this group meeting in sex-segregated cells to discuss how God has chosen them to fulfill their roles in public life. And, at the helm of this group, picture a figure described by an admirer as a “guy in the smoky back room” who “sits in the corner, and you see the cigar, and you see the flame, and you hear his voice — but you never see his face” whose followers have made “a fetish of being invisible.” Now imagine that a few of the members of this group outside of the U.S. have included “General Suharto of Indonesia; Honduran general and death squad organizer Gustavo Alvarez Martinez; a Deutsche Bank official disgraced by financial ties to Hitler; and dictator Siad Barre of Somalia, plus a list of other generals and dictators.”

For those of you who think you’re reading about George W. Bush and his administration, you’d be mistaken, though members of the Bush administration do belong to the sect described. The presidential candidate is Hillary Clinton, and the group is “The Foundation” also known as “The Family.” Its leader is Doug Coe, a man described by Clinton as “a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God.” Yes, it’s true, according to Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet who published an article in Mother Jones magazine in September 2007 about Hillary Clinton’s deepening ties to the group.

According to Mother Jones, Clinton has been meeting regularly with The Foundation’s women’s bible study groups since 1993 and moving up through its ranks. Clinton herself has written in Living History about Coe and her first encounter with him at The Foundation’s estate and how deeply he impressed her. According to one of Mother Jones’ sources, a Coe supporter, Clinton “has become a regular visitor to Coe’s Arlington, Virginia, headquarters, a former convent where Coe provides members of Congress with sex-segregated housing and spiritual guidance.” The article goes on to report that “These days, Clinton has graduated from the political wives’ group into what may be Coe’s most elite cell, the weekly Senate Prayer Breakfast.” But, despite the words she has written about Coe and the reports of her deepening involvement with the Fellowship, Clinton has refused requests by the press for interviews about Coe and her membership in The Fellowship. But clearly, she is not as scrupulous about her association with religious figures in her life as she claimed when attacking Barack Obama for remaining in Pastor Jeremiah Wright’s congregation.

Others who have been involved with the group have broken the code of silence. Sharlet himself went to live with one of the cells of The Foundation and describes the inner workings and ideology of the organization in an article that appeared in Harper’s magazine in March of 2003. He writes that The Family is “in its own words, an “invisible” association, though its membership has always consisted mostly of public men. Senators Don Nickles (R., Okla.), Charles Grassley (R., Iowa), Pete Domenici (R., N. Mex.), John Ensign (R., Nev.), James Inhofe (R., Okla.), Bill Nelson (D., Fla.), and Conrad Burns (R., Mont.) are referred to as “members,” as are Representatives Jim DeMint (R., S.C.), Frank Wolf (R., Va.), Joseph Pitts (R., Pa.), Zach Wamp (R., Tenn.), and Bart Stupak (D., Mich.). Regular prayer groups have met in the Pentagon and at the Department of Defense, and the Family has traditionally fostered strong ties with businessmen in the oil and aerospace industries. The Family maintains a closely guarded database of its associates, but it issues no cards, collects no official dues. Members are asked not to speak about the group or its activities.” Is this why Hillary Clinton has refused requests for interviews about her association with The Family?

I think CNN and Fox News are playing a dangerous game when it comes to projecting irresponsible journalism to influence public opinion. With the creation of the You-tube and websites alike, the public now has unlimited access to information and I think someone at CNN realized this and that why they decided to play one of Pastor Wrights Sermons in context. The public isn’t as naive as before because we can now go to the Internet to get the other side of the story or see if the story checks out in the first place. Back in the day we had to take it as gospel. Both networks packaged a few soundbites and used them to sum up 30 years of preaching. I am hearing and seeing more and more people say that since listening to the sermons in their entirety and in proper context, their opinions about the comments have changed. Once credibility and integrity are lost, there is no coming back. Just ask the music industry about that.

I am not an American. I am a typical Black proud Bajan and not offended by that word typical. I am an electionaholic. I love Barack Obama. Not because he is black (I am proud of him because he is black) but because he is speaking words that I am always eager to hear. HOPE. From here in Barbados I can feel his sincerity. America is in trouble. America’s image is not a pretty one from those outside of America. America needs just what Obama is proposing. Talk to your so called enemies. Do you know what a voice offered in conversation means to some people? He inspires me to be better and I pray that he survives this and does not give up on the goodness of people.
PS Even from the tropic I know that fox news is the pits

I’m 26 and I’m a hip hop baby. The name Bill O’reilly, in my generation circles, is a name of racism and bigotry. I’m a fan of talk shows and talk radio, so I find my self watching and listening to O’Reilly, because I don’t just want to feed myself with opinions that I agree with. So I download his podcast everyday and became surprised that Bill isn’t a flat out racist and bigot. In my opinion he is an ignorant and arrogant man who if he disagrees with something, he demands that everyone else feel like him or are wrong. To me there is a difference between prejudice and racism. Now, the Hannity’s, Ann Coulter’s, and Limbaugh’s, those idiots are racist. I’m a fan of O’reilly’s show. Him as a professional and what he does, he is good at it, even though I disagree with 75% of his views.

Anyway on this issue with you, he is wrong. A caller told him to listen to Wright’s entire speech(chickens coming home to roost) and Wright quoted a Fox News analysts. Bill doubted that story. Later in the show Bill confirmed that a Fox news analyst did say that and that was the context that wright used. The arrogance of Bill didn’t allow him to say he was wrong. For the past two weeks he ranted and raved about Wright being this unpatriotic and racist guy, how would it look that he recant his previous statements.

My point is that this whole thing is nonsense and if they would listen, LISTEN, not just hear Barack’s speech from last week, this would be dead. Fox News really should be ashamed of themselves, because the story that should be talked about is how Bin Laden is still breathin 7 years later and Bush gets away with playing G.I. Joe with real lives.

Tell me what you think

thanks Dave (www.unheardvoicez.net)

My problem is, with Limbaugh encouraging people to change party affiliations so that republicans can vote for Hillary in the primary, and then you have operatives, like Lanny Davis continuing to try and incite hate about Wright, how would we have be able to look at it as fair?

If Hillary were given the nomination, could Obama then run as an independent?

I would much rather see you challenge Bill O’reilly to a debate at a place where you can have an open coversation. This way, he can’t cut off your mic. It won’t do you any good to do it on his show, as a matter of fact, I would not give him the satisfaction of appearing on his show. He needs to come to a neutral area, where there can be a real intellectual debate and not just that screaming.

Anyway, I’ll be looking for you on The Factor tonight. I wonder what he will say about you? If you need some backup, let me know.(smile)

I watched O’Reilly piece last night and also felt that it was an unfair characterization of the facts. Your debate and commentary on the Wright issue has been on point by putting some of his most controversial statements in the proper context, something that some at FOX have been relunctant to do.

Here is a piece I wrote on the pastor on my blog

http://www.thevaneljournal.com/2008/03/passport-breach-big-endorsement-and.html

Thanks to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Democratic Party for their role in exposing the FILTHINESS of what is called “POLITICS” on National Television. I PRAY that this will help people to understand some SPIRITUAL TRUTHS in the near future. Let the drama play on for now.

Brother Roland: You will need to put on “THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD” to be able to withstand all the fiery darts that will be coming your way if you choose to stay in the PATH OF TRUTH. May The ALMIGHTY GOD give you strength.

Sorry Obama, you cannot change the nature of “POLITICS” for the better because she can only advance in her ability to DECEIVE! She simply gets more “SOPHISTICATED” so that the obvious is nolonger obvious!

I think that you are one of the most insightful individuals in journalism and it makes no sense for you to try and justify your comments to people who think that God only shines on America. Rev. Wright is just one of millions who think that the U.S. was wrong and is still wrong in it’s invasion of Iraq. How can a country capable of having the technology of Nuclear Weapons have such a hard time shooting down remote controlled planes. Those first images of that very thing was clear indication they didn’t have Nuclear Weapons and were not even close to possessing such armory. The irony of this is that why has America tried to make itself as the authority on who should and should not have these weapons? Are they saying that the countries aren’t capable of showing the necessary restraint and judgment in possessing such weapons. My history books tell me only one country in history has shown the lack of judgment and restraint in possessing such an arsenal of destruction, that is America. If any country has shown that should banned from such possession it is America. If America thinks God will not punish such actions then we are praying to the wrong God. God will damn America for this is some shape or fashion. That being said politicians are saying they would have left the church for the Reverends statements but these are the same politicians who approved a stimulus package whose debt will have to covered by communist countries. There is no heaven just for Americans or those agree with our policies. Bill O’Reilly, Hannity McCain and others like the some how feel we have some type of entitlement when the only entitlement is to the just and righteous children of God across the world. HYPOCRITES.

WHOOPS ! Two MORE Hillary ‘Mis-statements’ !
People Starting To Question Hillary’s Sanity
1) Made Up Trip To Africa With Ambassador Wilson
2) Fake Account of ChelSea’s Actions on 9/11

Below are two seperate articles which either show a pattern of habitual deception or a case of senility on the part of Hillary Clinton…….and she wants to be President….ready on day one ? UNBELIEVABLE !

Clintons Fabricate Chelsea’s Actions On 9/11
Drudge Report Nov. 2001

Curious confusion swirls around former first daughter Chelsea Clinton’s upcoming essay for TALK magazine describing exactly where she was on Terror Day in New York City.
Breaking her media silence once and for all — Chelsea writes in great detail about her personal experience on the morning of September 11.
But, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, her account now sharply conflicts with her mother’s version of Chelsea’s New York adventure.

Appearing on NBC’s DATELINE, Sen. Hillary Clinton told how daughter Chelsea cheated death on that fateful morning.
“She had gone on what she thought would be a great jog,” Hillary Clinton explained. “She was going down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She was going to get a cup of coffee and – that’s when the plane hit!”
Hillary’s dramatic story about her daughter’s close call with the Twin Towers became a media sensation.
“At that moment, she was not just a Senator, but a concerned parent,” TODAY show’s Katie Couric told viewers.

But now, in her own words, Chelsea does not mention a jog. Does not mention her plans to go to Battery Park, around the towers — only to be stopped by a coffee break.
In fact, Chelsea writes that she was at her friend’s apartment on Park Avenue South — miles from Ground Zero — when she learned of the attacks!
“I stared senselessly at the television,” Chelsea writes.

Article #2

Hillary Recalls Trip To Africa With Ambassador Wilson That Didn’t Happen
Jake Trapper/ABC News
March 18, 2008

She visited more than 80 counties as First Lady, so it’s only natural that she’d confuse some facts here and there. Some of those facts have come under the microscope as of late — as with her sniper-threatened landing in Bosnia, which comedian Sinbad has questioned.
Today Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, at an event with former Ambassador Joe Wilson, said, “I’m delighted to be here with Ambassador Wilson. He and I did travel together to Africa and, sort of, paved the way for the president’s trip the following year, which was historic.”
That Africa trip was in March 1997.
Wilson didn’t start as Senior Director for African Affairs at the NSC until later that year.
Is it possible Clinton was confusing Wilson with Susan Rice, Wilson’s predecessor, who did go with her on that trip?
Rice says yes.
“Actually, Senator Clinton may not recall this, but Joe Wilson did not start at the NSC until some months after her trip to Africa in 1997,” Rice says in an email. “I was the senior NSC staffer who accompanied her on that trip.”
Not a big deal.
Except for two reasons.
1) Rice is a senior adviser to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, and has been harshly critical of the way Clinton has described her foreign policy bona fides, saying the former First Lady has exaggerated them considerably. (Neutral arbiters, such as Factcheck.org, agree.)
2) In hyping her foreign policy experience, Clinton’s memories have run against those of other participants.

UPDATE: Let me make clear: the trip Hillary Clinton made which “paved the way” for Bill Clinton’s historic trip to Africa was in 1997. Bill Clinton’s historic trip was in 1998.

I pray for the day when you will be out of “POLITICS” for good.

TRUTH is always “CONTROVERSIAL” in a world that thrives on LIE. Remember that CHRIST never turned around and apologized for whipping the MONEY CHANGERS out of the Temple. John the baptist never apologized for calling the Religious Leaders a “GENERATION OF VIPERS”. Think of Stephen too. I know that it is difficult to explain spiritual things to people that are spiritually dead.

Trust in The ALMIGHTY GOD. Be of a good courage. A GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING will take place.

You were on CNN’s Anderson Cooper and said, “I was watching another channel where they played a sermon where he said that America infected African-American men with syphilis, called the Tuskegee Experiment. That actually did, indeed, happen.”

Actually, it didn’t happen as you explained to the audience. Your position has indeed, changed. Hope you continue to correct falsehoods when you hear them. You’re still a great guest.

I pray for the day when you will be out of “POLITICS” for good.

TRUTH is always “CONTROVERSIAL” in a world that thrives on LIE. Please stay on the side of TRUTH and remember that CHRIST never apologized for whipping the MONEY CHANGERS out of the Temple. Nor did John the Baptist apologize for calling the ‘Religious Leaders’ a “GENERATION OF VIPERS”. Think about Stephen too. I know that you cannot try to explain spiritual things to people that are spiritualy dead. You will lose you ‘job’.

Trust in The ALMIGHTY GOD. Be of a good courage. A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING is going to take place.

There is always a Divine purpose behind everything. Most humans tend to latch on to the one-dimensional perspective which leaves it up to the rest of us to ensure that the vision of the “bigger picture” is put out there. Rev Wright although persecuted for it, has become the spark to ignite this very relevant discussion about our beliefs and stereotypes regarding other races…. Bill O’Reilly like so many other Fox commentators, have their personal “small ego” agenda and no matter what happens, they refuse to be deterred from that. I therefore, ask you not to get bogged down in the “one-dimensional”/small minded approach to the greater issue at hand. You, like Pastor Wright, have a purpose to fulfill and I ask that you focus on what that is. You have a public forum, and the country needs a mature, non-judgmental approach to these issues. What I suggest is an informational piece with psychological experts who can break it down why races like, Native Americans and Black Americans after the many years of oppression have both disintegrated into a cycle of self-destruction. I know for a fact (based on my own life) that a child who endures abuse growing up is gravely affected and tends to engage in self-destructive behavior. We need to move beyond the heightened emotions as it is obscuring what is critical, which is intelligent dialogue necessary so we can learn and grow as a nation. There are serious psychological issues that need addressing…

To Chris… In just hearing the Fox sound bites, I said…”wow”… however, I did a mature thing and listened to the complete sermon of Rev Wright and my response was, “oh my God”. They took what he said completely out of context. The 9/11 speech (again, distorted by Fox News) were actual quotes from an Ex-Ambassador to Iraq with 32 years Foreign Affairs experience. Upon hearing that fact, it made it Very relevant to me, as Ambassador Peck with so much experience speaks with authority on the matter. Rev Wright, also thought so and repeated the Ambassador’s fears and conclusions, yet political trickery has blinded us from those important details…

“There’s a reason Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent during the flap over intemperate remarks by Barack Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she’s a lot more vulnerable than Obama.” http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/20/opinion/main3955108.shtml

And no, Mr. Martin, Faux News will not take you up on your offer. Al Sharpton already gave Greta van Sustern the smack-down on their vitriol regarding Wright’s “racist” views. O’Reilly will not risk the emasculation. Go here for the clips, but scroll down on the page to get them–they are worth the watch. http://icedotcom.blogspot.com/2008/03/al-sharpton-takes-right-wing-fox-news.html

I hope O’Reilly takes you up on your offer. I also hope that it is an open debate, where we can actually look at what Obama said and not just sweep this under the “You’re a Racist” rug. I know many in the media want this issue to go away, but look at the polls, many White Americans were offended by what Obama said. If that’s makes us racists and we can’t discuss it, then what are we supposed to do, also vote based on race? Obama loses in that situation, which is why this debate should be allowed to continue, instead of telling those offended they have to just accept what Obama said and shut up.

Thanks,

Chris

As far as the aids question, this government said that the “green monkey” jumped out of a tree and bit a man. Now the green monkey is about the size of a chicken, and dosen’t carry the virus. Medical experts have said that this virus is man made. I believe that the experts said that it was a combination of a virus from cattle and sheep that was bonded together. This disease is a man made biological,,it was put into the group which is called the retrovirus. Check Dr. Robert Strecker. and you can find a lot more Dr’s that agree with him. More Proof::

How about the Plutonium files. Again this government used over 500,000, stated from one report, of unknowing individuals in this “experiment”, from 1940-1974. Men women, pregnant women and children. Check it out. Journalist Eileen Welsome found the paperwork at Kirkland A.F.B in New Mexico. This included In a Massachusetts school, seventy-three disabled children were spoon-fed oatmeal laced with radioactive isotopes, At a Tennessee clinic, 829 pregnant women were served “vitamin cocktails” containing radioactive iron, as part of their regular treatment, 18 Americans who had plutonium injected directly into their bloodstream, and this is to name just a few. This government conducted these secret experiment on “HUMANS”, Americans,, they did it for over 3 decades then kept everybody in the dark for another 2 decades.

Dont ask me if this government is capable of killing the people of america,,,, hell they have been doing it. In early 1970, Henry Kissinger wrote a top secret document, National Security Memorandum, (NSM 200) in this memo he stated that, “depopulation should be the highest priority of the US foreign policy towards the Third World”.

The sad part is no one is making sure that people know about this type of terrisom and murder.

Reverend Wright is a man that has a bachelor degree, 2 Masters degree’s, a Doctor degree, and 8,,yes 8 honorary doctorate degree’s is shown for 20 to 30 second bites, and is taken completely out of context, and the entire news media refuses to allow americans see what was really said shows that “Racism, bigotry and the corrupt government is still alive and doing well.

I will give you Mr Martin, and some of your wonderful readers great praise because you and they put out the truth behind the “whole” sermons by Reverend Wright in context. Its to bad that the other medias wont let other americans know.
