Hussein’s Explanation Of Wright Ripped Apart By Bash
Senator Hussein blogged over at the far-left Huffington Post today in an attempt at damage control over the recent nuclear missiles fired out of the big mouth of his pastor.
You can read the whole blog here. Lot’s of political apologies, carefully worded.
I don’t want to go over his whole blog, I just wish to focus on what I believe to be the most important issue:
“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit.”
Let me take this piece by piece…
“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy.”
Only the statements that have been the subject of this controversy? What he is doing here is retaining his umbilical cord to his pastor. “Statements that have been the subject of this controversy”…he did not disagree with or condemn the spirit behind those statements, the wellspring from which they came, or the intent of the words.
“I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies.”
This is a purely political statement. “Allies” no doubt refers to Israel, whom the pastor has derided and vilified as they pertain to being a political ally to “our great country”. Israel is the only nation he brings up in a negative light in the rants besides America, and therefore it is Israel that is the ally of which he speaks. He does not speak of Jews or Israelites (not always the same thing) as a nation or people group here, but as a political nation as it relates to the United States. In other words, Obama denounces the attack on political ambassadorship, if you will. He denounces his pastors damage of diplomatic relations as a political tool, and nothing more.
No mention of Jews or Israelites as a people group or nation…stay with me I’ll show you why this is key…
“I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit.”
Here he goes straight to individuals. He did not say “words that degrade members of a given race, religious belief, or political theocracy.” He said “individuals”…
Obama is a very intelligent man attempting damage control done by a racist bigot spiritual advisor as he pursues the most powerful political position on the planet. You can bet every jot and every tittle has been carefully scrutinized, re-written and re-written again in this “blog” and one great glaring thing stands out.
He does not condemn his pastors denouncing of Israel.
To denounce Israel, Israelites, and Jews does not come from the God of the Bible. Yes, God got mad at them a few times. Yes, they messed up often, individually and as a people. But one thing stands out very clearly to one who has studied the Bible for many years and that is this: God’s love for Israel as a nation and the Jews as a people and Jerusalem as the Holy City is eternal and unwavering.
To say the things that Wright has said from the pulpit, even if they are in a political context, regarding Israel and the Jews, reveals a dangerous spirit. And Barack Hussein Obama’s refusal to specifically address that one point, gets to the heart of his heart. It is the same spirit that calls for the “wiping Israel off the map”…it is the same spirit that says “Jews are apes and pigs”…it is of the same spirit that says it is the Jews who oppress the enemies who surround them.
It is a deceptive spirit.
