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

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?

[…] Yes that’s Obama’s face, alongside Louis Farrakhan, the racist Reverend Wright, and Elijah Muhammad, founder of the Nation of Islam. No Martin Luther King jr, by the way. […]
