The candidate, his pastor and Hamas

Via BizzyBlog which publishes a further selection of the outpourings of Jeremiah Wright, the black power, Louis Farrakhan groupie who is the church pastor, friend and mentor of Barack Obama who refuses to renounce him, comes the fresh revelation that Wright also has pro-Hamas sympathies. On July 22 2007, on the Pastor’s Page of the Trinity church bulletin, Wright reprinted an article by Mousa abu Marzook, described as deputy of the political bureau of Hamas, which had previously been published (to general outrage) in the Los Angeles Times and which Wright re-titled

A fresh view of the Palestinian struggle.

This odious piece sought to justify the genocidal Hamas charter as

an essentially revolutionary document born of the intolerable conditions under occupation more than 20 years ago.

Let us briefly remind ourselves of some of the ‘revolutionary’ sentiments of this document:

They [the Jews] stood behind the French and the Communist Revolutions and behind most of the revolutions we hear about here and there. They also used the money to establish clandestine organizations which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies and carry out Zionist interests. Such organizations are: the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, Lions Clubs, B’nai B’rith and the like. All of them are destructive spying organizations. They also used the money to take over control of the Imperialist states and made them colonize many countries in order to exploit the wealth of those countries and spread their corruption therein. As regards local and world wars, it has come to pass and no one objects, that they stood behind World War I, so as to wipe out the Islamic Caliphate. They collected material gains and took control of many sources of wealth. They obtained the Balfour Declaration and established the League of Nations in order to rule the world by means of that organization. They also stood behind World War II, where they collected immense benefits from trading with war materials and prepared for the establishment of their state. They inspired the establishment of the United Nations and the Security Council to replace the League of Nations, in order to rule the world by their intermediary. There was no war that broke out anywhere without their fingerprints on it…

The article also drew an analogy between the Hamas charter and the American Declaration of Independence as two foundational documents with

a good deal to answer for

since the American Declaration of Independence

did not countenance [equality] for the 700,000 African slaves at that time.

Did Obama, as a worshipper at the Trinity church, receive this bulletin through his letter-box? Did he read this article? Did he agree with it? How can he so brazenly continue to affirm his commitment to such a pastor and such a church?

How can the Democrats survive this? For away from the party's fawning, drooling, Dianafied cheerleaders in the media and elsewhere, middle America will be appalled.
