Jeremiah Wright tied to Hamas?
Just a question I read from a blogger who quoted/posted this gem from the LA Times. Has this been vetted before? No big deal?

3. Much like KSM, the MSM will soon have him tied to Marx, Lennon
and assassinating Lincoln.

18. Dubious. The "Jihad-watching community" you linked to is right wing trash


Wellstone would be furious at someone using his name and posting stuff from

In my Monday post relating to the weekly church bulletins of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ, I mentioned that a person named Omid Safi had authored an item included in the July 8, 2007 bulletin on “Progressive Muslims.”

I originally only included a picture of the Rev. Wright’s introduction at that post.

Since then, members of the jihad-watching community recognized Safi’s name, and his organization, the Progressive Muslim Union (PMU).

There seems to be more than a little reason to doubt that the PMU is as “progressive” as it claims. Doubters with evidence include Daniel Pipes (here and here <”Omid Safi’s Closed Classroom”>) and Jillosophy. There are probably others who have linked over and weighed in that I have not yet detected.

Accordingly, I have uploaded all of Pages 9 and 10 from the July 8 bulletin to my host, and it can be viewed here. It contains the Reverend’s intro and Safi’s entire column.

My two cents, based on looking over what Pipes’s work, is that there are too many associations with CAIR for comfort.

It's beyond disgusting. That's a little too cozy of an association with PNAC propaganda for comfort. Daniel Pipes?

But thank you for the link because they've got every meme you guys have been posting over there. It's nice to find one of the motherlodes.

23. Stupid is as stupid does
I kind of think stupid is as the "oompas" and "hills" do, too.

But maybe that's just me.

11. Obama blasts Hamas op-ed
A pro-Hamas op-ed printed in his church's bulletin is "outrageously wrong," Barack Obama said.

In an issue dated July 22, 2007, in a section titled "Pastor's Page," the church reprinted an article by Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzook in which he justifies Hamas' withholding of recognition of Israel's right to exist. The article originally appeared as an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times.

The church's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who retired this year, has already stirred controversy for the U.S. senator campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination with earlier statements likening Israel to colonialists and blaming attacks on the United States in part on its support for Israel.

"I have already condemned my former pastor's views on Israel in the strongest possible terms, and I certainly wasn’t in church when that outrageously wrong Los Angeles Times piece was re-printed in the bulletin," Obama said in a statement emailed to JTA late Thursday, and referring to critics who noted that Obama had been in church when Wright had made controversial statements. "Hamas is a terrorist organization, responsible for the deaths of many innocents, and dedicated to Israel's destruction, as evidenced by their bombarding of Sderot in recent months. I support requiring Hamas to meet the international community's conditions of recognizing Israel, renouncing violence, and abiding by past agreements before they are treated as a legitimate actor."

Obama separately issued a statement timed for the Jewish holiday of Purim – a holiday that has rarely if ever been commemorated by any other candidate or Congress member.

16. Thanks for posting that - it is worth a read
Funny, I'm rather more interested in what Obama has to say than in what Wright has to say about Israel and Hamas, America and race, and any other social issue or current event.

I'm simple that way. Glad I'm not the only one.

;)

19. Thank you for posting this. It looks like Obama has some very powerful
enemies from the hawkish DLC pro-war crowd who will stop at nothing.
