Video: Hussein Defends Pastor - “He’s Part Of Me”
He said a lot of things in this speech, but the very core of his message is found in this clip. He says that Wright, like his own Grandmother, is part of him. That he cannot disown Wright more than he can disown his own family.
Bullshit.
The excuse he relies on is faulty, flawed, and now fatal to his candidacy. You cannot choose your family. But you most definitely choose your own Pastor.
Nobody continues to be a member of a particular congregation if they don’t like what is being preached from the pulpit. This is the very church that Oprah started to attend 18 years ago and left shortly afterward because of the bitterness and divisiveness she saw preached from the pulpit.
Obama stayed for 20 years and continues to defend Wright. What else is needed to know? It is not the “statements made by Reverend Wright” that Obama needed to distance himself from. It is the spirit behind the bitterness and vitriol that fuels those statements that he should have distanced himself from the moment they became clear to him, as Oprah did.
Instead, he stayed. You know why? Because he agrees with that spirit. And that spirit is not the Holy Spirit.
