Obama's Web Site and the Black Panther Party
Rev. J. Alfred Smith Sr.- Honored by Black Panthers for his activities and past work for their cause.
Rev. Michael
Pfleger and Farrakhan
Good golly, when you think it could not get any worse, Mr. Obama's web site has testimonials from a motley crew of extremists.
His web site is nice looking. I have visited it. It is full of uplifting messages. However, I did a little research on the dignitaries that support this web site. Their testimonials are posted.
With Rev. Wright preaching racism from the pulpit, you would think this would motivate Mr. Obama to make sure that Black Panthers and supporters of Farrakhan are not being quoted and looked up to as moral icons on this web site. The following article is quite enlightening.
In conclusion, we must ask ourselves this question: Can Mr. Obama represent all Americans when he is surrounded by those that have racists propensities and advocate a Liberation Theology.
A religious outreach website, faith.barackobama.com. Commenting on it today is Catholic League president Bill Donohue:
“On Sen. Obama’s new website, he lists the testimonials of three controversial clergymen: Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago; Rev. J. Alfred Smith Sr., senior pastor of Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland, California; and Rev. Michael Pfleger, a Roman Catholic Chicago priest.
“Rev. Wright was scheduled to give the invocation at the forum of Obama’s presidential announcement on February 10, but the night before the event Obama rescinded the bid: the Illinois senator knew that his spiritual advisor was so divisive that he would cloud the ceremonies. The black liberation theologian has a record of giving racially inflammatory sermons and has even said that Zionism has an element of ‘white racism.’ He also blamed the attacks of 9/11 on American foreign policy.
“Rev. Smith was honored by the notoriously violent Black Panther Party of Oakland in 1975, and in 1990 was given a community award by the Nation of Islam, an anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic and anti-gay group.
“Rev. Pfleger has allowed Nation of Islam chief Louis Farrakhan to preach in his church; he has been arrested for defacing billboards; he has paid prostitutes to worship at his church; and only last week he staged an anti-gun rally in front of a gun store where he exhorted the crowd to hunt down the owner ‘like a rat’ and ‘snuff’ him.
