When sermons of Obama’s Chicago pastor, Jeremiah Wright, surfaced during the Iowa primaries, it threatened to derail Obama’s campaign. ABC aired one where Wright screamed, “Goddamn America!” Edward Klein interviewed Wright, who told him Obama’s team tried to buy his silence.

‘Man, the media ate me alive,” Wright told me when we met in his office at Chicago’s Kwame Nkrumah Academy. “After the media went ballistic on me, I received an e-mail offering me money not to preach at all until the November presidential election.”

“Who sent the e-mail?” I asked Wright.


“It was from one of Barack’s closest friends.”

“He offered you money?”

“Not directly,” Wright said. “He sent the offer to one of the members of the church, who sent it to me.”

“How much money did he offer you?”

“One hundred and fifty thousand dollars,” Wright said.

“Did Obama himself ever make an effort to see you?”

“Yes,” Wright said. “Barack said he wanted to meet me in secret, in a secure place. And I said, ‘You’re used to coming to my home, you’ve been here countless times, so what’s wrong with coming to my home?’ So we met in the living room of the parsonage of Trinity United Church of Christ, at South Pleasant Avenue right off 95th Street, just Barack and me. I don’t know if he had a wire on him. His security was outside somewhere.

“And one of the first things Barack said was, ‘I really wish you wouldn’t do any more public speaking until after the November election.’ He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ‘I wish you wouldn’t speak. It’s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.’

“And what did you say?” I asked. “I said, ‘I don’t see it that way. And anyway, how am I supposed to support my family?’ And he said, ‘Well, I wish you wouldn’t speak in public. The press is gonna eat you alive.’

“Barack said, ‘I’m sorry you don’t see it the way I do. Do you know what your problem is?’ And I said, ‘No, what’s my problem?’ And he said, ‘You have to tell the truth.’ I said, ‘That’s a good problem to have. That’s a good problem for all preachers to have. That’s why I could never be a politician.’

Just one more bribe to Obama. Give em something to shut them up.........at least until after the election.

 

[rdean]

What was the context of "Goddamn America"?

Did Wright really enlist in the Marines during Vietnam?

Did Wright really receive three White House Commendations?

Did Wright receive any other honors from the Military?

Sorry, I just had to do it.

 

[Lovebears65]

Doesnt surprise me but I doubt we will see that on the lame stream media

 

[Bigfoot]

Yeah, I read that this morning as well. No surprise there. Chicago is known for it's shady deals in business and politics. I worked in Chicago for awhile and experienced some of it first-hand.

 

[paulitician]

It's the Chicago way. This isn't surprising to me.

It seems there is an on going bribery criminal case involving another Democrat, and former Presidential Candidate, John Edwards, who used campaign cash to silence his mistress.

So exactly where did this $150,000 come from that was offered to Rev. Wright?

It appears there is a strong possibility of criminal behavior here and there needs to be a special prosecutor appointed to investigate.

It was not a sermon but a 3 minute stipit taken out of context. More radical reigh wing extremist lies.
And you people are still quoting him out of context. He said "God damn american, it's in the bible" If you do not believe it is in the bible you don't understand bible prophecy. Everything he said was true.

I've never read the publication. I don't know anything about them so ill ask again, can you provide proof it is A lie?
If you can I will be suspect of further links from them. If you can not ill call sour grapes

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Oh, and didn't the National Enquirer break the John Edwards story?

 

[The T]

And then threw the Wrong Reverend Wright...and his Grandmother under the bus in the same timeframe.
