Obama and Anti-Italian Slurs

Barack Obama's pastor, Rev. Wright, is running out of groups to categorize and hate . . .

This weekend (Saturday and Sunday), I'll be posting about Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and his anti-Italian remarks. As you may know, Rev. Wright blames what he calls the "Romans. . . the Italians" for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Does Barack Obama disagree with those statements? Who knows?

When he talks about the America-hating, race-baiting Rev. Wright, Obama chooses his words very carefully. He says he "disagrees" with the Pastor on several things, but he never identifies where his dissent lies.Somehow, no matter how despicable Wright's remarks are, Obama still continue to see him as his "uncle" and his "spiritual advisor." Obama's refusal to disown and to repudiate this evil man calls into great question where the candidate stands on hate-speech.

When the time came for Obama to repudiate Wright and separate himself from the so-called "church," he instead turned on his Rhetoric Machine. He gave a speech about "race," a bunch of generalities that avoided any full repudiation of Jeremiah Wright.

Right now, the Obama campaign had placed a muzzle on wife Michelle, whose distaste for her country reflects the views of her long-time pastor, Jeremiah Wright. The pastor himself appears to be in hiding, unwilling to explain or apologize for his hate-filled sermons and publications.

Yesterday, I attended a meeting of Democrats (and at least one Republican, me) supporting the candidacy of a young man for the Pennsylvania House. About half the people there were Americans of Italian descent. They were aware of many of Wright's offensive statements, but apparently did not know that he had singled out Italians (Wright spoke of their "garlickey" breath) for condemnation. I didn't have the heart to tell them.

My wife is of Italian descent, as are our daughter and several grandchildren. Obama owes them -- and everyone else in America -- a full explanation, but I doubt it will be forthcoming.

Thus, the questions remain: Who exactly is Barack Obama -- and to what degree does he agree with his demagogic Pastor?
