The DaleyGator

What Obama knew about his reverend’s racist leanings? DUH! I have been saying he had to know for weeks now. Everyone with a functioning brain has as well.

Now Stanley Kurtz re-confirms the painfully obvious.

To the question of the moment–What did Barack Obama know and when did he know it?–I answer, Obama knew everything, and he’s known it for ages. Far from succumbing to surprise and shock after Jeremiah Wright’s disastrous performance at the National Press Club, Barack Obama must have long been aware of his pastor’s political radicalism. A careful reading of nearly a year’s worth of Trumpet Newsmagazine, Wright’s glossy national “lifestyle magazine for the socially conscious,” makes it next to impossible to conclude otherwise.

Wright founded Trumpet Newsmagazine in 1982 as a “church newspaper”–primarily for his own congregation, one gathers–to “preach a message of social justice to those who might not hear it in worship service.” So Obama’s presence at sermons is not the only measure of his knowledge of Wright’s views. Glance through even a single issue of Trumpet, and Wright’s radical politics are everywhere–in the pictures, the headlines, the highlighted quotations, and above all in the articles themselves. It seems inconceivable that, in 20 years, Obama would never have picked up a copy of Trumpet. In fact, Obama himself graced the cover at least once (although efforts to obtain that issue from the publisher or Obama’s interview with the magazine from his campaign were unsuccessful).

Building on his reputation as a charismatic and “socially conscious” preacher (and no doubt also upon the fame conferred by his Obama connection), Wright decided several years ago to take the publication national.

 Like I said this just proves again that Obama is and has been lying. It is painfully obvious.Well painfully obvious to everyone except for Obamaniacs! And the leering press, and Rosie the Spoon, and Bill Moyers.
