Obama's Pastor & Mentor G-Damns America

Obama’s mentor and spiritual advisor G-damns America.
…And, says the terrorist state of America brought on 9-11.

Obama’s nutty pastor is back in the news…
This time the Rev. Jeremiah Wright G-Damns America and says, “The US is to blame for 9-11.”
ABC News reported:

Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor says blacks should not sing “God Bless America” but “God damn America.”

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s south side, has a long history of what even Obama’s campaign aides concede is “inflammatory rhetoric,” including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own “terrorism.”

In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, “I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial.” He said Rev. Wright “is like an old uncle who says things I don’t always agree with,” telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.

Preach it, Jeremiah!

ABC asks: “Is Obama’s pastor a liability?”
Nah… ya think?

FOX News posted a report on the controversial paster last night.

The United Church of Christ blog has more on the attacks on Obama’s controversial pastor:

An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright’s sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.

“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,” he said in a 2003 sermon. “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.”

In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda’s attacks because of its own terrorism.

In January the United Church of Christ backed Wright and denounced the smear campaign attacking the good minister.

Today’s revelation is right up there with his comments about Bill Clinton
“That Bill Clinton did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky.”

Maybe he could offer the prayer at the DNC’s Fall Convention?

HotAir reports that Wright has a role within the Obama campaign.
STACLU has video.

UPDATE: Jeremiah Wright is more than just a pastor to the Obamas, via Sweetness and Light and the Chicago Tribune from last year:

Obama says that rather than advising him on strategy, Wright helps keep his priorities straight and his moral compass calibrated.

“What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice,” Obama said. “He’s much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I’m not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that’s involved in national politics.” …

In his 1993 memoir “Dreams from My Father,” Obama recounts in vivid detail his first meeting with Wright in 1985. The pastor warned the community activist that getting involved with Trinity might turn off other black clergy because of the church’s radical reputation.

When Obama sought his own church community, he felt increasingly at home at Trinity

Later he would base his 2004 keynote speech to the Democratic National Convention on a Wright sermon called “Audacity to Hope,” –also the inspiration for Obama’s second memoir, “The Audacity of Hope.”

Though Wright and Obama do not often talk one-on-one often, the senator does check with his pastor before making any bold political moves.

Michael Zak blames Hillary.
