Newly released video of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Democrat presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama's controversial pastor, shows the preacher telling his congregation the United States knew of the attack on Pearl Harbor before the Japanese struck, the U.S. would plant weapons of mass destruction in Iraq "just like the LAPD," and those committing black-on-black crime are "fighting the wrong enemy."
The series of clips, taken from hours of sermons, was broadcast on Fox News' Hannity & Colmes program last night.
At times Wright, who moves his congregation to shouts of agreement, is shown wearing an African dashiki while in the pulpit and, at others, he wears a clerical collar.
Wright, again, called on God to damn America – or "white America, U.S. of KKKA," as he refers to the nation in another sermon – "for killing innocent people ... for treating us citizens as less than human."
As WND reported, in a 2003 sermon Wright encouraged blacks to damn America in God's name and blamed the U.S. for provoking the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks by dropping nuclear weapons on Japan in World War II and supporting Israel since 1947.
Yesterday, in response to mounting criticism over Wright's anti-American and racist comments, Obama issued a statement saying he strongly condemns and denounces "some inflammatory and appalling remarks [Wright] made about our country, our politics, and my political opponents."
Despite having been at the church for two decades, Obama said he was not in attendance when Wright made any of the statements and never heard such talk in private conversations.
Wow. Jeremiah Wright just gets creepier by the day. He blames us for 9/11 and virtually blames us for Pearl Harbor too! Again, twenty years of attendance and B. Hussein Obama knows nothing of these beliefs. The man is a liar and his pastor is mentally deranged if not completely off his rocker. The question stands: Why didn't Obama leave his church after the first or second sermon twenty years ago? The obvious answer: He agrees with Wrights twisted and hateful ideology.
