Wright: Wait, did I say Jews control Obama? I meant “Zionists”
posted at 5:45 pm on June 11, 2009 by Allahpundit
It just slipped out. Could have happened to any far leftist, really. Consider this another reminder that frequently the chief difference between liberal anti-semites and, ahem, “conservative” ones is that the lefties are more scrupulous about using code. A few choice lines discovered by police in James Von Brunn’s notebook today:
Obama was created by Jews. Obama does what his Jew owners tell him to do.
Compare with the good reverend’s nuance in walking back his claim that “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me”:
“Let me say like Hillary, I misspoke,” Wright said. “Let me just say: Zionists.”…
Rev. Wright also said that “the Jewish vote, the A-I-P-A-C vote, that’s controlling him, that would not let him send representation to the Darfur Review Conference, that’s talking this craziness on this trip, cause they’re Zionists, they would not let him talk to someone who calls a spade what it is. “
(It should be noted that since his inauguration, President Obama has visited with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Saudi King Abdullah, Jordanian King Abdullah, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. It’s unclear what Rev. Wright would say to the President about the plight of the Palestinians that these Arab leaders would be unwilling to say.)
If only The One were being controlled by “good” anti-Zionist Jews who oppose Israel’s existence, how much easier the reverend would sleep at night. I guess we all have our reasons to be disappointed with Barry. Incidentally, in the same interview, Wright went on to praise another noted progressive critic of “Zionists” for his use of the radioactive term “apartheid” in the past to describe Gaza. Here’s what that moral examplar’s up to today.
Update: Karl keeps it nice and sweet: “He meant to say ‘them Zionists.’ He meant ‘them Jews.’”

ROFLMAO…hilarious.

When I heard that the Holocaust Museum shooter was a white guy in his 80′s, I did jump to the conclusion that it was Jimmy Carter.
myrenovations on June 11, 2009 at 5:48 PM
Sad thing is, a lot of Jewish Obama voters will say, “Well, that’s different then! What a relief!” LOL
ddrintn on June 11, 2009 at 5:50 PM
Who know Obama had both a black supremacist and a white supremacist as uncles.

My kingdom for an edit function!

[Bob whacks Rev. Wright across the head]
Whoops – it kind of just slipped out.
UltimateBob on June 11, 2009 at 5:51 PM
Mr. Wright is full of shit.
SouthernGal on June 11, 2009 at 5:51 PM
FIFY
califcon on June 11, 2009 at 5:51 PM
You can say what you want now , but we know what you mean.
the_nile on June 11, 2009 at 5:52 PM
We don’t, as a general rule, use words like that on this blog, ma’am.
califcon on June 11, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Racist?
the_nile on June 11, 2009 at 5:53 PM
Whew!!!!!!!!!
For a second I thought he hated Jooos. No just “Zionists.”
Wait a second, I thought most Zionists are Jews, oh wait…he does hate Jews.
FU Wright.
Lance Murdock on June 11, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Ohhhh so that’s how you do it.
Ok then: I didn’t say Contessa Brewer is a slut, I said she was a diseased whore of a slut.
How was that?
Iblis on June 11, 2009 at 5:54 PM
i said this in another thread earlier this week, but it’s equally applicable here:
pig, meet lipstick.
homesickamerican on June 11, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Did I say Jews? My bad. I meant to say Jews.
jimmy2shoes on June 11, 2009 at 5:55 PM
Rev. Wright was taken out of context. You just don’t understand him. He meant to say…..
Hell, now this nutcup has his own liberal translator. I’m beginning to think these liberal translators are the unicorns that we were all supposed to get. They just sent the wrong product……
HornetSting on June 11, 2009 at 5:55 PM
the same fool that loves Hamas
youngO on June 11, 2009 at 5:55 PM
I’m a Christian and I just don’t see how you can be a Christian and be anti-semite. I just don’t think The Great Reverend is anything Christian, him or his “son” Obama.
youngO on June 11, 2009 at 5:56 PM
This is outrageous!
Anyone who has read those Trumpet articles Wright put out, listened to his rants called sermons, knows he allies himself with Farrakhna and Gadafi, and knows one tiny bit about Black Liberation Theology; they know this man meant Jews as in any and all Jews who desires Israel to survive.
As to the Jews who sold out to Obama, note to them, not ALL Jews were safe from Hitler. Some thought they would be, but in the end many still found their way to the gas chambers, firing squads, or camps.
May God have mercy on us for what we are about to endure.
freeus on June 11, 2009 at 5:56 PM
20 years. Never heard it. – Obama.
lorien1973 on June 11, 2009 at 5:56 PM
Come on now. J Wright didn’t say anything wrong. Prezbo listened to him for 20 years, and he never said anything wrong. Everyone knows Prezbo don’t lie.
jimmy2shoes on June 11, 2009 at 5:57 PM
Like “father”, like “son”.
ddrintn on June 11, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Don’t confuse Rev. Wright with a Christian. His church is the church of Black Liberation Theology. Big difference.
UltimateBob on June 11, 2009 at 5:59 PM
Guess that means Rahm & Axelrod are off the hook. They’re ‘good,’ hopeychangey Jews.
ILB on June 11, 2009 at 5:59 PM
It’s not just Wright, but all of the slugs who attend his church. They are all absolutely despicable people with no redeeming qualities, whatsoever. They serve no purpose but to raise entropy.
progressoverpeace on June 11, 2009 at 6:00 PM
We’re Ziiiiionists in spaaaaace,

So…is it Black Liberation Theology or Melanist Liberation Theology?

Yeah, but aren’t they the very
JewsZionists who are keeping “dad” from his “son”? LOLddrintn on June 11, 2009 at 6:02 PM
Note to Israel: You’re on your own now.
I may move to Israel myself; losing more respect for the citizens of the U.S. every day.
jazz_piano on June 11, 2009 at 6:03 PM
Well , maybe Obama misheard for just that brief moment and didn’t notice. No , really.
the_nile on June 11, 2009 at 6:04 PM
I have to laugh when I think about Hillary’s “I misspoke” comeback. Even as a kid I would have not been that brazen to cover up complete lie like that. What kind of people are becoming politicians nowadays.
We should through the whole bunch out and start over.
dpierson on June 11, 2009 at 6:04 PM
That’s as believable as Obama’s claim that he was a member of Wright’s church for 20 years and never heard anything that most Americans found highly objectionable when it was publicized.
Does shed light on Obama’s Israel policy, though
ProfessorMiao on June 11, 2009 at 6:05 PM

Obama is the “next terrorist attack”. Make no mistake he is muslim. They wanted to destroy Wall Street on 9/11 and our economy. What is Obama doing? He is not required to show his medical records, his college transcripts, even his birth certificate. He’s a blank slate.
Would somebody please jump on a horse with a lantern and make a run telling people what’s going on before it’s too late?
suzyk on June 11, 2009 at 6:08 PM
I can’t wait to hear Kos himself denounce this blatant Antisemitism.

Lance Murdock on June 11, 2009 at 6:09 PM
Yes, and you voted for this racist, anti-Semitic, liar’s
protege and honorary “son.” Feel good about that choice?
AZCoyote on June 11, 2009 at 6:09 PM
“let me clarify”
the_nile on June 11, 2009 at 6:09 PM
Oh. Well, that’s perfectly reasonable then!
Does anyone actually think this “clarification” was a good idea?
emailnuevo on June 11, 2009 at 6:10 PM
Strange days.
“Them Jews vs. Them Zionists”, “Saved or Created”, “I meant Bristol, not Willow”.
Who are these people trying to kid?

Yes, because I’m sure it is causing the Obama staff fits.
myrenovations on June 11, 2009 at 6:11 PM
You cannot be Muslim and pro-abortion. And for leftists, the political ideology and agenda take first place–there is no room for devotion to any religion.
jazz_piano on June 11, 2009 at 6:12 PM
!
I didn’t even think of that! Say, can we get some more clarifications? Who are the “chickens”?

Uh, excuse me. How do you she voted for Obama. Oh thats right she’s Jewish. Cause you know 78%=100%. I’m so happy you are open minded person that doesn’t clump people together.
Way to go a$$hole.

The public, and it’s been working since before the election.

What? You can be Muslim and a suicide bomber. What’s the difference?
HornetSting on June 11, 2009 at 6:15 PM
Judging from her comments, not her religious background (which I was unaware of), I would also assume she voted for Obama. What say you, SouthernGal?
jazz_piano on June 11, 2009 at 6:15 PM
He knows because of all the idiotic things she’s been writing.
progressoverpeace on June 11, 2009 at 6:15 PM
What exactly is the difference between a “Jew” and a “Zionist” to far left wing fanatical kooks?
Capitalist Infidel on June 11, 2009 at 6:16 PM
She posted earlier that she voted for Obama….’I would have voted for Bush in 2004 and McCain in 2008′…I WOULD HAVE VOTED MEANS SHE DIDN’T VOTE FOR BUSH OR MCCAIN. SHE DIDN’T WANT TO VOTE FOR A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE AND WASTE HER VOTE, SO SHE VOTED FOR OBAMA. KEEP UP, A$$HAT.
HornetSting on June 11, 2009 at 6:16 PM
As far as the Muslims that Obama has been kissing up to and trying to win points with, it’s much, much worse! Did he think he was helping Obama by saying that he’s controlled by Zionists?

christene on June 11, 2009 at 6:18 PM
I highly doubt a lot of jewish obama supporters know what Wright said now, or before. It’s mostly a blog story. The jewish obama supporters I know know very little besides what the NY Times print edition says, or katie Couric types.
JiangxiDad on June 11, 2009 at 6:18 PM
Or she could be 17.
MadisonConservative on June 11, 2009 at 6:18 PM
Maybe something like this:
The ‘good Jew’ accepts blame for his participation in the conspiracy to run the world via finance, the ‘ethnic cleansing’ in Gaza, the oppression of African-Americans, etc., and realizes that his people have no right to any part of their ancestral homeland.
The Zionist, or ‘evil Jew,’ has yet to repent for his crimes, renounce his homeland, etc.
jazz_piano on June 11, 2009 at 6:20 PM
I was thinking 14 or was that her IQ?
Good point, Madison. ;)
HornetSting on June 11, 2009 at 6:20 PM
Exactly.

My point beats your sting.
Yuk yuk.
MadisonConservative on June 11, 2009 at 6:21 PM
The more the he talks the better. If he and others keep talking and doing silly things (ie. Letterman), the true intentions of liberals to silence and smear their dissenters, and live in their elitist la la world, will come to light. This just gives me solid ammunition when speaking with liberals as to why I could never be a liberal.
truetexan on June 11, 2009 at 6:21 PM
What she said.
Sorry Madison, I think she’s closer to 12.
Knucklehead on June 11, 2009 at 6:22 PM
How do you know it’s a she or that it’s Jewish. All we really know is that it’s a troll.
Loxodonta on June 11, 2009 at 6:22 PM
Does anyone know when/why/how anti-semitism took root among so many African-Americans?
jazz_piano on June 11, 2009 at 6:23 PM
True, most Jewish people don’t follow righty blogs so they wouldn’t know what a raving Anti-Semite this guy is.
Gotcha, than I won’t defend her in the future.
Sorry I didn’t know.
Lance Murdock on June 11, 2009 at 6:24 PM
No, he meant, “Them Zionists ain’t gonna let me talk to him”
congma on June 11, 2009 at 6:25 PM
Then, don’t attack someone else for something you are not aware of….or accuse them of racism, or whatever you were doing…..

ever heard of nation of islam?
SHARPTOOTH on June 11, 2009 at 6:26 PM
In the late 60′s and 70′s with the rise of black nationalism and the ejection of Jews from civil rights orgs. It all went quickly downhill from there. When they glommed onto islam in increasing numbers in the 90′s, it just got that much worse.

“I misspoke.” The cure-all of the Left.

Let me get this straight …our president is a 20 year disciple of a man who hates Jews and Christians???????
I guess this president is essentially a Muslim …a radical one at that!

You know, Madison. Nevermind. You’re right, your head is permanently up your a$$, isn’t it?
HornetSting on June 11, 2009 at 6:31 PM
Thanks. It’s puzzling to me . . . so many Blacks have not converted to Islam, many (Wright, Jackson) claiming to practice Christianity.
But I’m not sure many in the Black church see much distinction between Islam and Christianity, as strange as that seems to me.
jazz_piano on June 11, 2009 at 6:31 PM
Good for you.
I do think we need a troll list posted somewhere. It would come in handy.
Loxodonta on June 11, 2009 at 6:31 PM
We’re talking about the troll’s age, IQ. Not Cuda. Keep up, old man.
HornetSting on June 11, 2009 at 6:32 PM
Well she stated that she was Jewish. So I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. But I won’t defend her if she is a troll.
