Rev. Jeremiah Wright slams 'right wing racists' in new video
September 9, 10:26 AMConservative Politics Examiner Kathy Shaidle Previous

Rev. Jeremiah WrightPresident Barack Obama has finally shed one radical association -- disgraced former "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones -- but now another, more familiar one has resurfaced.

Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, wasted little time insinuating himself back into the public eye.

You may remember Rev. Jeremiah Wright as the man whose Chicago church Barack Obama attended for many years, and whose most famous sermon, "The Audacity of Hope," lent its title to one of Obama's bestselling books.

And who will ever forget Rev. Wright's now-infamous sermon on September 16, 2001, just days after the worst terrorist attack in American history:

We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands [who died on 9/11] 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 because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.

Now Rev. Wright is back in the media spotlight, thanks to a very short video making the rounds, courtesy of the gossip site TMZ.com:

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So what do you think about the health care bill?

REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT, PRES. OBAMA'S FORMER PASTOR: I think the racists in the right wing are upset because poor people are about to be helped.

President Obama once tried, belatedly, to distance himself from the polarizing preacher. But clearly Rev. Wright won't be so easily dismissed.

With ideological allies like Van Jones and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the President may well be asking himself, who needs enemies?

If it were not for people like Wright, we might get past racism.

But that would mean taking responsibility for one's actions, and not putting the burden of blame for your problems on someone else's shoulders. These guys (Rev Wright, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Charlie Rangle, Van Jones) can't let that happen. If they do, they lose their ability to make money off of the backs of others. Funny how they are doing so well, when so many of their followers are not.

I wonder if any of their followers ever ask themselves why????

Maybe some, but as long as Wright, Jackson, Sharpton and the rest are handing out a few coins as a token of their appreciation they'll have job security. It is like Hey! Rev. Al gave me a nickel he is a good man!
