Obama, Wright, Farrakhan, Together on 2006 Church Newsletter Cover

-By Warner Todd Huston

My friend Tom Blumer over at the bizzyblog found an interesting image showing an advertisement that appeared in the February 12, 2006 edition of the Trinity United Church of Christ’s newsmagazine, The Trumpet. It depicts Barack Obama along with other – um, shall we say “notable"? – folks like Louis Farrakhan, the racist Reverend Wright, and Elijah Muhammad (founder of the nation of Islam, the extremist branch that Farrakhan now heads up). These faces appear on a purportedly Christian Church’s newsmagazine.
It makes one wonder, if all the way back in 2006 Barack was on the cover of a magazine with Farrakhan, Wright and Muhammad, how can he claim he never knew of the extremist views of his “spiritual mentor” the racist Rev. Wright? It stretches credulity that Obama could have been so long oblivious of what was going on in his own church. doesn’t it? To be coupled with Farrakhan and Muhammad like that? It would be absurd to imagine that they put Obama’s face on the magazine without his knowledge and approval, wouldn’t it?
As Tom says about the extremist bent of Trinity United and Wright: what did Obama know and WHEN did he know it?

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal by spouting such things, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commentators reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity. By posting a comment you agree to abide by the rules of this site.
