This makes me so angry I could spit. Very soon, Obama is going to have to respond. I can't wait. --JZ RushLimbaugh.comRUSH: I mentioned a mere moment ago in a brilliant analysis: Obama is leading a double life. This pastor -- this church, the stuff that you are going to hear in mere moments -- is representative of the life that Barack Obama used to live before he arrived in the United States Senate and started his presidential campaign. He chose this pastor! This is not happenstance. He's also associated, as you know, with Tony Rezko, and William Aires, the domestic terrorist. By the way, all this is the side of his life that he doesn't want discussed. He wants to talk about "hope" and "change" and "the future." And this is the life Obama lived, who he was before he became interested in the presidency, and this pastor didn't just start talking about this. Let's go to the audio sound bites. We'll start with number one, this is again the 2007 Christmas sermon, Obama pastor Jeremiah Wright.
WRIGHT: Jesus was a poor black man who lived in a country and who lived in a culture, that was controlled by rich white people! The Romans were rich. The Romans were Italians, which means they were European, which means they were white -- and the Romans ran everything in Jesus' country. It just came to me within the past few weeks, y'all, why so many folk are hatin' on Barack Obama. He doesn't fit the model!
CONGREGATION: Right!
WRIGHT: He ain't white, he ain't rich, and he ain't privileged.
RUSH: This is the kind of stuff Obama has been listening to from this guy for 20 years. This guy didn't just start talking this way. Here's the next bite.
WRIGHT: Hillary never had to worry about being pulled over in her car as a black man driving in the wrong! I am sick of Negroes who just do not get it! Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single parent home! Barack was. Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people! Hillary can never know that! Hillary ain't never been called a nigger! Hillary has never had her people defined as nonpersons! Hillary ain't had to work twice as hard just to get accepted by the rich white folk who run everything, or to get a passing grade when you know you are smarter than their C-students sitting in the White House. Hillary ain't never had her own people say she wasn't white enough!
RUSH: Um... Is this what is meant by a "new future"? Is this what is meant by "change"? Barack Obama, community activist. His preacher is a hatemonger, a black segregationist. He's got a friend from the Weather Underground who was on the run for terrorist acts. He befriended and benefited from the largesse of a Chicago thug. Is this what is meant by "change"? Is this where we are investing "hope" for the future? Is this really moving forward, at all? Or is this taking us backwards?
When Ferraro says what she says, he's out there acting offended? By the way, they axed Ferraro. She has been thrown under the bus. She is gone, and she is mad. She is still livid that people think she's a racist. You compare what she said. What she said was right, it was truthful. You compare that to what Obama has been listening to in church! The point that she was ultimately making was -- and she said it about herself -- that somebody with two years experience, who was white, would not be this far advanced in the Democrat presidential sweepstakes. Let's get these bites in. This is Jeremiah Wright on the Clintons from the same sermon.
WRIGHT: Hillary is married to Bill and Bill have been good to us? No, he ain't! Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky!
CONGREGATION: (cheers)
WRIGHT: He was riding dirty!
RUSH: "He was riding dirty" with "the big, fat nasty." Riding dirty with the big, fat nasty. Here is more Jeremiah Wright, 2003 sermon in Chicago, Trinity United Church of Christ.
WRIGHT: 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! Not God bless America! God DAMN America! (cheers) -- it's in the Bible -- for killing innocent people! (cheers) God DAMN America for treating her citizens as less than human!
RUSH: That's a 2003 sermon. Obama may have been in the congregation that day. You heard it. That was 2003. This is five years ago. This is not in the Christmas sermon. But he's out there, you know, "God bleep America," not God bless. God bleep. So the Romans were Europeans which means they were white, and they killed Jesus. So are we to believe here Rudolph Giuliani is going to go out and take out Obama? This is the way this guy thinks, and Obama sits there and listens to it, folks, as often as he goes to church -- and he chose it, and he's been going there for 20 years. We have one more Jeremiah Wright sound bite. We'll get to it after the break, and Obama talking about race on his campaign plane today, not specifically Jeremiah Wright. Folks, we just turned the teakettle on. It hasn't even heated up yet.
RUSH: Geraldine Ferraro's point is essentially this, and it's something... You know, Obama shouldn't even really be mad about it, especially given what he listens to in his own church. His kids were baptized in this church! They're like six and ten years old. Baptized in this church! They chose it. They support it. Now, what Geraldine... Mr. Snerdley, I want you to hear this, because you're screening calls. You may get calls about this. Mr. Snerdley and everybody else, Geraldine Ferraro, I'm sure what she meant was, "Okay, we've got a guy whose candidacy was said to be historic? Why? Is it what he believes? Is it what he says? Is it how he says it? Is it the color of his skin?" Damn right. You can't factor that out. It's just like Hillary's candidacy is said to be historic. Why? Because this would be the first Vagina Monologues woman ever elected president, or woman period. So you can't take those two things separately. That's all she was saying, and she happened to use the word... She clarified, "I wasn't talking about his qualifications," and then she followed up with a Bush insult. She's saying, "Look, if Bush can learn to run the country, I'm sure Obama can. I was talking about experience, lack of it, not qualifications," and then she's still peeved that people think that she's racist. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor, a 2001 sermon. Now, we've gone back some years here to show you this is not just one sermon last December. This stuff is consistent. 2001 is seven years ago. Listen to this one.
WRIGHT: 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 (cheers) because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards! (cheers and applause) America's chickens are coming home...to roost.
RUSH: This is Barack Obama's pastor saying we deserved it on 9/11. We deserved what we got for all eeeevil that we have done around the world. [...] |
