Shocker. Obama's Radical Mentor Caught On Tape Praising Marxism (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, July 1, 2010, 5:46 AM
What a complete shock.
Barack Obama’s mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright was out praising the socialist magazine Monthly Review at the New York Society for Ethical Culture in New York City on September 17, 2009.
He especially liked its no nonsense Marxism.
From the video: Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright expresses his affection for Marxism and socialism. He also states in the footage that America is the “land of the greed and home of the slave”.

This guy sits in the middle of the biggest pity pool in the world. Is it really unusual for him to want to be “taken care of” by Marxism?

Cuba, Venezuela, N. Korea, Russia….all utopias that this marxist racist fruitcake can make a home in. Just get the hell otta here.
Opus #6 commented:
The following are Marx’s ten planks from his Communist Manifesto.
1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.
The courts have interpreted the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868) to give the government far more “eminent domain” power than was originally intended, Under the rubric of “eminent domain” and various zoning regulations, land use regulations by the Bureau of Land Managementproperty taxes, and “environmental” excuses, private property rights have become very diluted and private property in landis, vehicles, and other forms are seized almost every day in this country under the “forfeiture” provisions of the RICO statutes and the so-called War on Drugs..
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
The 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913 (which some scholars maintain was never properly ratified), and various State income taxes, established this major Marxist coup in the United States many decades ago. These taxes continue to drain the lifeblood out of the American economy and greatly reduce the accumulation of desperately needed capital for future growth, business starts, job creation, and salary increases.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Another Marxian attack on private property rights is in the form of Federal & State estate taxes and other inheritance taxes, which have abolished or at least greatly diluted the right of private property owners to determine the disposition and distribution of their estates upon their death. Instead, government bureaucrats get their greedy hands involved .
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
We call it government seizures, tax liens, “forfeiture” Public “law” 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of “terrorists” and those who speak out or write against the “government” (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a “national bank” and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank, another major socialist objective. Yet, most Americans naively believe the U.S. of A. is far from a Marxist or socialist nation.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.
In the U.S., communication and transportation are controlled and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established by the Communications Act of 1934 and the Department of Transportation and the Interstate Commerce Commission (established by Congress in 1887), and the Federal Aviation Administration as well as Executive orders 11490, 10999 — not to mention various state bureaucracies and regulations. There is also the federal postal monopoly, AMTRAK and CONRAIL — outright socialist (government-owned) enterprises. Instead of free-market private enteprrise in these important industries, these fields in America are semi-cartelized through the government’s regulatory-industiral complex.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
While the U.S. does not have vast “collective farms” (which failed so miserably in the Soviet Union), we nevertheless do have a significant degree of government involvement in agriculture in the form of price support subsidies and acreage alotments and land-use controls. The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Evironmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
We call it the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two “income” family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920′s, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000. And I almost forgot…The Equal Rights Amendment means that women should do all work that men do including the military and since passage it would make women subject to the draft.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
We call it the Planning Reorganization Act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public “law” 89-136.
10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.
People are being taxed to support what we call ‘public’ schools, which train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based “Education” .

This is old news.
Edouard commented:
Looking at Wright’s swank mansion, paid for by his revolutionary flock, it sure looks like “Marxism for thee, but not for me” is his actual motto.
Khan Krum commented:
To Gringo: Yep, this is old news, but it needs to be repeated until the proper association is made, i.e., Jeremiah Wright = Barack Oilbama.
Valerie commented:
If this is “old news,” why haven’t I seen this video, before? And the specific embrace of marxism?
Interesting that this old fool compares the US of A with its imperfect government after the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, to a bunch of failed and murderous regimes, claiming that the US is “hell”.
Interesting also that this specific man contributed to the already-tragic death toll by HIV in Africa by telling them that the white people in the US had invented HIV for the purpose of killing people of color, thereby hampering every effort to educate people and get them to help contain this horrible plague and get treatment.
He has to answer for his ugly, false testimony that has brought hell-on-earth to black people in both the US and in Africa in the form of sickness.
This man has been a vector for a plague.
Reaganite Republican commented:
“No-nonsense Marxism” = oxymoron…
from a black-nazi moron, lol
Andreas K. commented:
No surprise he likes Marx. Marx wrote that “inferior classes and races must be wiped out.” This is a central theme of marxism and socialism.
Wipe out everything that is “inferior” and “different.”
Wright really should finish his speeches with “Heil Hitler” from now on. It would be 100% fitting.
Kenny Solomon commented:
I’d offer some commentary, but there’s no need.
Really.
When somebody wants to make themselves a into a range target, step out of the way and let them.

Why is anyone shocked by this?
Moemo commented:
You have to be a special kind of stupid to fall for these snake oil salesmen. They want you to believe that “slavery” equals; a free market where anyone can achieve dreams working for themselves and “freedom” equals; working for a centralized Marxist/Socialist Government to achieve the governments dreams.

Critical thinking? One freedom not afforded to all the millions that lay in their graves who questioned the god of Marxism.You Wright,are an abomination and God is preparing a place for you.

He’s a ‘marxist’ living in a million dollar home in the Chicago suburbs with a million dollar pension and a million dollar line of credit.
Ann commented:
Maybe he’ll let us live “lock-stepped” in his mansion with him. After all that’s his position right?
befuddled commented:
i absolutely agree, you have to be some kind of special to want to drink the kool-aid. And yet, plenty of white and black people are supporting these nutters. how many times do we need to show that socialism and marxism doesn’t work. and how many more people need to be killed trying to install and maintain this type of government.

I was not aware that people in Socialist countries were on welfare either.

Jonestown was full of ‘his people’. Then they drank the cool aid and died.
Jesusland commented:
Rev. Wright is the flipside of the precisely the same coin he is denouncing, i.e., “us versus them,” “herd mentality”, “binary lense”, etc. It’s pure projection.
What The #@*& commented:
Can you smell the constitution burning people? Can you hear the national police force pulling in your driveway? The time for talk is over, fast action is the only way to stop these thugs. Hit them hard where they live and hurt them anyway we can. This is a war for our very survival. God Bless America and the true believers of his kingdom and strike down the wicked,the vile,the Maobamatrons.

This TRAITOR MUST GO! NO MORE COMMIE/SOCIALIST/TRAITORS!!!!
Scott commented:
Marxism lives in the hearts of these cretinous fools…If only they had enough power, they would solve all mankind’s ills…And those who don’t agree with them would be exterminated. So it was in Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam…The 2nd amendment is the only thing protecting Americans from these new Fascists…Our founders were truly brilliant.
Louis Blasiotti commented:
Rev. Wright discusses poverty in a Christian backdrop but forgets either inadvertently or purposely what Christ said about the poor, i.e., “the poor you will always have with you.” No ……ism is going to get rid of poverty, whether it is Communism, socialism, capitalism, or statism or any other ism. What the Rev. should be talking about is salvation, sins, the 10 Commandments, worship of the Creator, the teachings of Jesus, love of one fellow citizen, humility, obedience to God’s will, prayer, fasting, attending Church to learn all about the above.

What is the big deal? Rev. Wright is good America hating man!
Look, Van Jones and I are sure that the communist revolution is coming to America… And, I welcome it.
My limousine is running and I have meeting with Hugo. He has a new load of snow in his diplomatic suitcase. I must go. Good day.
Eva Deutsch commented:
This anti-semic racists is unhappy in the USA he should go where he could be happier. How about Venezuela, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Yemen oh I almost forgot the whole African continent is on his disposal. Why is this low-life still here?
Oh, yes would they also give him the kind of mansion he is living in now. This anti-semite and
racist is profiting greatly with preaching hate in his “church”. I thought that churches are supposed to spread love. My mistake.
Blue Collar Todd commented:
The Left is incapable of seeing that Marxism and Christianity stand in total antithesis to one another. Arthur Koestler powerfully argues this in Darkness At Noon. But the way the Left, people like Jeremiah Wright, and Jim Wallis continue to pervert what Jesus said about “the least of these” in Matthew 25 needs to be confronted.
I have responded to Wallis asserting the idea of the least of these when he tries to use it to justify supporting Obama’s amnesty agenda for illegal aliens. Jesus said “the least of these” are his brothers (and sisters) meaning his followers and what we do to them we do to him. Even if you grant this Liberal/Marxist interpretation of the passage, Liberals cannot even be consistent on this because they exclude the most defenseless and helpless class of humanity the world has ever known, the unborn.
Actually a Liberal agenda will help justify the exclusion, isolation, intimidation, and eventually, the persecution of Christians in this country. Ultimately, if President Obama’s agenda is fully implemented it would mean “the least of these”, Christ’s followers, would be suffering at the hands of a Totalitarian State. So by opposing this radical agenda, we are actually helping to defend “the least of these” from those claiming to be their friend. Ironic is it not? This is why we need a robust Conservative conception of Social Justice that does not yield all authority to the State. Fight on people.

Well it’s all been said before we have a Muslim in the white house. What damage this man can do before he is stopped, this is the wake up call to any loyal american, that loves this country, and our freedom that’s being dismantled brick by brick just like Obama said he would do. At Harvard Obama was a constitutional professor. Who better to take apart our constitution. He took his dad’s name Barack, because his given name is Mohamed Hussen Obama. I think this certainly is a Muslim name. And there’s a name for any Muslim to hide, lie, conceal his real intentions, as long as he knows in his heart he is a Muslim. That brings us to Rev Wright he is also a Muslim. And Valerie Jarret, and Tony Resco. That’s who Obama bought his house for penny’s on the dollar from. He has been found guilty of realestate fraud……. Everybody thinks white or black that they can trust this man, because he speaks, or reads a teleprompter very well.. Just like Hitler…. Freedom ain’t free, it can be lost with the wrong fools in congress and president……

Remove the radical Obama/ Wright/ Ayers/ Pelosi/ Reid cartel, et al, from power now, “By any means necessary”, before they can do any more harm to our nation.
Javier commented:
Someone must have whipped this UNGRACIOUS
TREACHEROUS SLIME to an inch of his life when he was either a kid or when he served in the MILITARY. He certainly looks like he has suffered some kind of brain damage which has affected his judgment.
At least he’s not wearing any of his HARRY POTTER WIZARD OUTFITS!

Googling “reverend wright” “monthly review” shows it was covered in November.
It was news in November to the following, and more: Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Don Surber ( daily mail), Breitbart, newsbusters.
Exador commented:
Meanwhile, the Marxist Champion of the People lives in a $1.6 million mansion + a $10 Million Trust, all laundered through his church, so he pays no taxes on any of it.
It’s so pathetic, how is it that he doesn’t get called on it?
