Via CNS News, which will probably be the only news outlet to carry the story
Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been a member for two decades, slurred Italians in a piece published in the most recent issue of Trumpet Newsmagazine.
“(Jesus’) enemies had their opinion about Him,” Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue. “The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.
“From the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth (in a barn in a township that was under the Apartheid Roman government that said his daddy had to be in), up to and including the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ death on a cross, a Roman cross, public lynching Italian style. …” Wright wrote. “He refused to be defined by others and Dr. Asa Hilliard also refused to be defined by others.
Well, isn’t that special. What Will Obama Do? How will he attempt to distance himself now from his mentor and “almost an uncle?” Which conservatives will he blame for bringing this information up?
Imagine if this was McCain’s pastor and mentor of 20 years. Would every Democrat be out there demanding that McCain not only give up his presidential campaign, but, resign from the Senate as well? You betcha.
Oh, BTW, Wright also thinks the government is also running the KKK. Nutjob.
