It was the moment of greatest peril for then-Sen. Barack Obama’s political career. In the heat of the presidential campaign, videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright. Now the black nationalist preacher’s rhetoric was threatening to torpedo Obama’s campaign.
The crisis reached a howling pitch in mid-April, 2008, at an ABC News debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Gibson asked Obama why it had taken him so long – nearly a year since Wright’s remarks became public – to dissociate himself from them. Stephanopoulos asked, “Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”
Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”
Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.
In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”
Michael Tomasky, a writer for the Guardian, also tried to rally his fellow members of Journolist: “Listen folks–in my opinion, we all have to do what we can to kill

IT IS TIME TO demand that the IRS rescind Wright's church's tax exempt status for espousing vicious anti-American political vitriol. Enough with this terrorist clown. He should be brought down and fully investigated by the IRS, FBI and CIA for treason and sedition. If this were a Catholic or Protestant Priest or Minister lambasting Obama for his skin-color or blasting the NAACP, their church's tax exemption would have been immediately terminated. Wright is a dangerous sociopath and psychopathic criminal who is inciting violent racism that will lead to race riots. He is a danger to others as well as himself.
BARACK INSANE OBAMA,
REV. WRIGHT?
LMAO!
OBAMA IS DOING THE VERY SAME AS FAR AS RACIAL DIVIDE!
America; Get over it! The end time Anti-Messiah(Marxist are anti-messiahs by the way; so he didn't lie about that), as well as, forbidden foreigner(Deut. 17:15) has to do this stuff to establish evil, fear, and intimidation on "we the people" (seed of Jacob through Joseph) and we haven't seen anything yet! Nothing like putting in the end time Anti-Messiah over the real Israel to be politically correct, right? Watch!
HI VICTOR,
I AGREE!
THE COVER UP BY THIS ADMINISTRATION COUPLED WITH THE NEWS MEDIA SHOULD BE A WARNING TO US ALL!
Yes, HOT COUGAR ! I'm sure that everybody now knows, but also they know that there is nothing that they can now do about it know, especially if this "is" the Biblical end-time Anti-Messiah! And, if so, it's just too little, too late!
VICTOR,
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT OBAMA AND THIS EVIL REGIME!
Yes HOT COUGAR: If only***, but not now! As William Shakespeare wrote: "All the world's a stage and all the men and women are merely players!" Watch!
VICTOR,
IF MY HISTORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY ALL THE WORLD WATCHED AS HITLER SPREAD HIS TERROR AROUND THE WORLD.
Yes, and remember that Germany is also a tribe of Israel called Gad! Only the name "Israel" was given to Joseph's seed, not to Judah!(Gen 48:16), but lost knowledge of it's name because it broke the 7th day Sabbath sign! I guess it just runs in the family!
So, vb…will u just watch? Or act? Or maybe u do not know yet? No, I see you don't. I do not believe The Lord has you just watching. God bless u. Prayers 4 u 2
HI GUEST,
I PERSONALLY WILL DO WHAT EVER IS NECESSARY IN MY POWER TO DEFEND THIS NATION.
I GOT YOUR BACK!!!
Guest: As I said to HOT COUGAR, Only "Hebrew" is the spiritually set-apart Language, not Greek, Latin or even English(Zeph. 3:9) and all things both old and new must be proven through it! The "Hebrew" Elohim(title) is not "God"(Gad) actually a name and not a title(i.e., a Babylon Deity for Good Luck)!" The Hebrew name is YHWH(Yahweh), but got screwed up by Pope Leo the X asking Philosopher Petrus Galatinus(look up that name on your search engine) to change the Hebrew Messiah's name into a name the honored the highest Greek Deity(That's just the way Rome always had done things) and Petrus changed our Hebrew Savior's name from Yahshua(meaning, "Yahweh is Salvation" in Hebrew) to "Jesus" to honor "Zeus!" Forget the 3rd commandment; after all, they already had done away with the 4th one! And, Pope Leo loved it and hence the Babylonian religion was born! Now, I read on the search engine that Petrus made a mistake with "Jehovah" and it should have been Yahweh, but they didn't even mention the "Jesus" thing! For truth, see: info@icyahweh.org;
First of all: thank you for saying that. Of course, the Emperor Constantine merged Christianity with his Sun God, and the Greek and Roman Gods. Quite a coup, who owned his ear?
VB, can you explain the language use in the bible of the terms Lord and 'jealous' and how it does not mean green with envy? Also, when you use the term 'Petrus' do you mean St. Rock?
I'm not really knowledgeable in what you're talking about, but I know absolutely that any meaning in the Bible(Hebrew Scriptures) can only be understood through the concept of scientific deduction(1 Peter 2:20) and nothing else! I also know that "Hebrew" is the only spiritually inspired language(Zeph. 3:9) and all things must be deductively proven through the old covenant in it's Hebrew, especially any thing written in the New Covenant! I know that Yahweh will turn us back to speak in Hebrew(Acts 26:14). I also know that in Hebrew, "Lord" means "Baal" and it's use and worship is absolutely forbidden! Again, the bible can "only" be interpreted through the scientific principle of deduction and nothing else! That exactly is what the Bible says through the commanded scientific deductive process that we must use when reading it! I hope that this helped! I know that Gary Miller, a Physics Teacher by trade, has the Spirit of Eliyah and has he has proven the correct calender, 7th Day Sabbath, and correct Feast Days, including the all important Feast of Weeks, lasting 50 days! His outstanding spiritual understanding can be found at info@icyahweh.org; PS: Guest; time is very, very close I feel, "please" remember that your savior is in the Hebrew Yahshua(in Hebrew this name means that "Yahweh is salvation)"! That "Yahshua" is the only name that we can be saved by and I'm confident that I'll see you in the not too distant future in this first calling! That means "if" you understand that what I'm saying; then, you have been called by Yahshua and if you "know" that it is true, then you also have been "chosen" for the 1st resurrection even before the creation of the world. I feel that Yahshua's two-witnesses described in Revelation are soon to appear, perhaps as early as September 9th this year(Feast of Trumpets(war) because all the end time signs are present! Watch! PS: Yahweh spoke Hebrew even in Acts for a reason(Acts 26:14)!
Robert Gibbs Is Asked About Obama's Connecticut Social Security Number http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Aahw3NT6E

What truly bothers me is the fact that we ordinary Americans could see through this man as though he were made of glass…yet the media CHOSE to promote his election!
That says only one thing to me…that the 'formerly known as mainstream' MEDIA is targeting the freedom of Americans – that the f.k.a.m.s. MEDIA is as dangerous as the administration – and, most importantly, that we must do everything within our power to prevent the government takeover of the television/newspaper/radio industry!!
I AGREE CAPE,
BAD TIMES ARE COMING!
EVERY ONE NEEDS TO START PREPARING FOR THEM.
It's time for the media to turn on their messiah. We all saw through this. The Bilderbergs own the media and they got their boy in by media frenzy. It also shows how gullible and ignorant the American people are. If it didn't happen on TV, gosh it isn't real. Couch Potatoes. Start thinking for yourself and see through it all. The media can't stop people from knowing Obama is not an American. They have to turn on him to save face, and credibility.
Wright can be turned in to the IRS for tax fraud. Anyone can do it.
SUSAN YOUR ARE RIGHT BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT THE MEDIA WILL TURN ON OBAMA.
I have heard that the Bilderbergs actually ran the "Illuminati," which is now "the Council of Foreign Relations" at the UN. Isn't that true? If so, that reportedly is a Secret Satanic Organization that even our own Ben Franklin was a part of way back when(Ben was a member of all the secret societies back then)! How does Scripture describe us? Oh, yeah: "You were cursed when you came in and you'll be cursed when you go out" as a response to the promise made to Israel by the Hebrew Deity YHWH by name to Israel, by the seed of Joseph when they were promised absolute world civil power! Now, I think I also understand why our forefathers kept the British Central Banking System.
VICTOR I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT! PRETTY DISTURBING TO ME THOUGH.
Gullible Obama supporters have validated the old saying, "You cannot fix stupid." In his books he told us who he is and what he would do, but they were too stupid to acknowledge or understand the truth of what he said. All they could see in their future were more welfare checks for the willfully poor and additional raping of the wealthy. They were willing to put aside the fact that Obama, whom they saw as a present day Robin Hood, was only promoting his own self-interests. His actions during the first month of the great oil spill proved that.
DLANOD,
GUESS WHAT?
THEY ARE STILL STUPID!
DO YOU NOT REALLY THINK THAT 95% OR MORE OF THE BLACKS WILL SUPPORT OBAMA IN THE 2012 ELECTION?
YOU KNOW THAT THEY WILL!
THEY WANT ALL OF US TO SUPPORT THEIR SORRY ASSES!
Why not a FOX news investigator do some different kind of investigating only on the main stream media newscasters? Pick one. That would be very interesting to see. American people need to
get their asses off the sofas and lawn chairs and make it known to all your friends and family that we
won't stand for this anymore. We have the right to Party!!!!
BABS,
IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED LATELY FOX NEWS IS LEANING LEFT!
THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
IT ALLCOMES BACK TO ONE THING—OBADMA IS A MUSLIM AND THE MUSLIMS WANT T KILL US ALL. READ THE KORAN AND EVEN NOW TOO MANY SO CALLED AMERICANS STILL SUPPORT HIM YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR GUNS-YOU ARE GOING TO NEED THEM AND THAT'S NO JOKE> DID YOU SEE ALL THE UN MILITARY EQUIPTMENT IN JACKSONVILLE FL?? AND PRAY,ONLY WITH GOD"S HELP CAN WE WIN.
J CARROLL,
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!
IN FACT MY FATHER IN LAW / FATHER OF MY LATE HUSBAND HOW DIED IN A AUTO ACCIDENT. JUST BOUGHT ME I THINK WHAT THEY CALL A 38 SMITH & WESSON HAND GUN, HE PLANS TO TEACH ME HOW TO FIRE IT SO TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.
Of course. Hussein's a muslim. Indonesian schooled; I saw records on-line in an e-mail in black and white. And only God can and will do what He said He will. So, read and follow the Holy Scriptures, and the New Testament. Christians be pure, bind together. Trust and rely on one another. YHWH>YASHUAH BLESS YOUR PEOPLE
Close! Obama undoubtingly is educated and thoroughly trained in Islam, but he since has converted to Luciferism(worshiping the devil) in Chicago! He now is an active agent of Lucifer, who has but short time left to play in the battle that he has already lost! America actually is the lost tribe of Israel through Joseph, who actually did get the Name Israel given to his seed(Gen 48:16). Watch! That is called his arrogance! It's all about having a moment of power at any cost! PS: Try the Anti-Messiah of Revelation. Watch!
THE SO CALLED BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR OBADMA IS EASILY RECOGNIZED AS A FAKE> IT SHOWS HIS FATHER THEY ARE NOT EVEN GOOD CROOKS
yeah, nothing like the good old italian mafia!! …and they lived, loved and died for the USA!!
Didn't one of the mafia crime bosses help us win WWII by winning over Sicily for USA?
Don't laugh, I think it's true.
J CARROLL,
ACCEPT THE FACT THAT OBAMA AND EVRY ONE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION WOULD NOT KNOE THE TRUTH IF IT HIT THEM IN THE FACE.
THEY HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE AWAITING THEM IN HELL AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED.
Watch Alex Jones videos from InfoWars/Prison Planet. All the signs are there and Alex has proof.
Aside from all the conversation on this government, I always wonder "why would Muslims come to
America when they could just 'stay home' in their own country and live their way there. Why do they
want to make America theirs? " And if Obama wants to dictate a socialist country, go to that other
country and take them over. Leave us alone!!!
The media is nothing more than one vast cover up for Obama & his allies in crime!
Just to mention a few!
Roman Polanski's not being extradicted to the U.S.A for the rape of a 13 year old girl. Additionally his release from jail by the Swiss officials because Eric Holder in the D.O.J. did not inform the Los Angeles District Attorney to forward the case file to the Swiss authorities. Eric Holder and Polanski's attorney are old friends.
larry Sinclair & his sworn statement that he had oral sex & smoked cocaine with Obama in his limousine & hotel room.
Donald Young who was a renowned gay choir director at Rev. Wrights church for 20 years of which Obama a attended as well for 20 years. His shooting death just prior to the Democratic Covention & subsequent cover up about he & Obama being the very closest of friends by the main stream media & Fox included.
Norma Jean Young the mother of Donald Young & her comments that she believed that her sons shooting death was due to his close relationship to Obama & either he or his associates wanted her son silenced. She is now in hiding due to threats on her life by anonimous sources.
HOT COUGAR: Wow! I never heard any of this stuff! Does this information make sense! Now, I'm absolutely positive that he has to be the Anti-Messiah described in the Hebrew Scripture! Again, this information makes total sense! No wonder why the "gays" are not happy with him, yet! PS: Sounds to me as though Obama had Donald Young killed!
HI VICTOR,
MOST DEFINITELY HE DID HAVE DONALD YOUNG ELIMINATED IN MY OPINION !
ALL THAT I QUOTED IS EASILY VERIFIED BY JUST GOING TO GOOGLE & GOOGLEING IT.
IT IS MIND SHATTERING THAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS COVERING UP FOR THIS EVIL ANTI CHRIST CALLED OBAMA!
THE GENERAL PUBLIC LIKE YOURSELF HAVE NO CONCEPT TO THE EVILS THAT THESE PEOPLE CAN DO OR WILL STOOP TO IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR AGENDA.
HOT COUGAR; you're even giving me better information than the blogs that you post on! Yes, it definitely is mind shattering! It does seem that I didn't know nearly as much as I thought I did, but have passion on me because I even ended up in VietNam before I quickly realized that our enemy was our own government! But give me this, I did know that America, which is really lost "Israel" through the seed of Joseph would produce the anti-messiah and become the BEAST because the Hebrew Scriptures are about Israel by the seed of Joseph to include Judah for "grace!" I also know that the Hebrew Scriptures say that Yahshua's(All authority now is his) Two-Witnesses will bring the designated Israelite's out of the hand of the anti-messiah to be protected, but it is written, only 244,000 of us! That's not great, but I just know that you and your daughter are included for sure!
Hi Victor,
I can always give you whatever information you like to verify whatever i post on here.
P>S>
It is nice to know that i and my daughter are included.
HOT COUGAR; Thank you! You're most welcome! By the way, now knowing you, how could your daughter not be included? Watch!
HOt Cougar……I said in a previous comment on another of these subjects that we need to watch for the unusual deaths. You mentioned one above. Isn't this interesting? Also need to investigate Oprah for her involvement. She apparently also sat in the same church….sleeping????
Watch Alex Jones videos/InfoWars and Prison Planet. Full of true info.
HI BABS,
I AGREE!
NOT GOOD TO BE A FRIEND OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION OR THE CLINTON'S EITHER.
I SINCERELY FEEL BAD FOR MORMA JEAN YOUNG THE MOTHER OF MURDERED SON DONALD YOUNG. POOR LADY HAS LOST HER SON NOW SHE IS IN HIDING FOR FEAR OF HER LIFE DUE TO THREATS.
Oprah! This also makes sense now!
DITTO! VICTOR.
Hell isn't going to be hot enough!!!!!!!!!
OH WANDA I AGEE WITH YOU GIRL FRIEND !
THEY ARE GOING TO BUST HELL WIDE OPEN !
THESE ARE VERY EVIL PEOPLE!
America! Let me give you a kick in the ass…
Come November, I don't care if it's raining,! I don't care if it's snowing,! I don't care If the temp drops below 40,* 30* 20*, you get you butts out and vote!!! We need to get the liberals out of office!! We all have become a bunch of patsies,and won't go vote if the weather isn't perfect… My question is, Which would rather have America? Two hours of inconvience? Or a life time of HELL? If the libs win the house and senate, there will be no turning back!! We will be a socialist nation!!! We America ,will never get another shot to get it right..This is our one shot!… I want the Conseritives to have fire in their bellys, and love in their hearts for this country! We MUST vote them out…Please! forget the TV, the video games, and liberal hollyweird for one day!! Let the liberals pay attention to that stuff,while we are out voting…LETS TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK…MAY GOD BLESS OUR AMERICA!!
BABS,
LOL!
I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE TO YOU THE ESTABLISHING OF A NEW NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.
WE COULD DO LIKE (THE NEW BLACK PANTHERS) HAVE DONE & NAME THE NEW ORGANIZATION (THE NEW KLUX KLUX KLAN).
THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD BE NON RACIST & PLEDGE TO UPHOLD THE U.S.CONSTITUTION OF AMERICA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
CORRECTION(KLU KLUX KLAN )
Most of you want to kill the messenger for speaking the truth. You know nothing of what your own country does around the world around the clock in your names. You do you hardest to keep this information from your heads. Yet, you attack anyone who has the gall to say the obvious: that America has slaughtered innocent human beings of other stripes by the tens of millions "without batting an eyelash." You don't want to address that one because the only way you could do it is with a piles and piles of outright lies. You want America to be the first society in history to avoid reaping what you have sown.
And The Obama/Soros Media Goes On Plotting To Kill Stories About Pres Obamas 20 Yr Pastor, Yikees, Rev Wright Might Come Up On The Same Plane To India, With A One Way Ticket, Yikees.
