Rev. Wright: I Meant to Say "Zionists" Are Keeping Me from Talking to President Obama -- Not Jews

June 11, 2009 3:08 PM

In an interview on a liberal satellite radio show, Rev. Jeremiah Wright attempted to clarify his comments to the Newport News, Virginia. Daily-Press about "them Jews" preventing him from speaking to President Obama.

"Let me say like Hillary, I misspoke," Wright said. "Let me just say: Zionists."  

Wright said "I'm not talking about all Jews, all people of the Jewish faith, I'm talking about Zionists."

The president's former mentor and pastor made the comments on the SIRIUS LEFT show "Make it Plain" with Mark Thompson. You can listen to his comments HERE.

Wright then criticized Israel,  saying, "I quote Jews when I say this," and referencing books by Jewish authors such as "Judaism Does Not Equal Israel: The Rebirth of the Jewish Prophetic" by Marc Ellis and "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Ilan Pappe.

"I'm talking about facts, historical facts," Wright said. "I'm not talking about emotionally charged words or the fact that like Jimmy Carter's book, that because he used the word that Jews use, 'apartheid,' he gets labeled anti-Semitic."

"They can jump on that one phrase if they want to," Wright said, "but they can't, they can't undo history. They can't undo the facts of Jewish historians  and Jewish theologians who write about what's going on, who write about the enormous influence that AIPAC has on our government and on United States policy and the United Nations."

(Wright did not identify who "they" was.)

In his original interview with the Daily-Press, Rev. Wright was asked if he'd spoken to President Obama since his inauguration.

"Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me," Wright said. "I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office."

Wright said he would tell the president, if he could, to stay true to himself.

"He's gotta do what politicians do," Wright said. "Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza, "Ethnic cleansing the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel."

Rev. Wright also said that "the Jewish vote, the A-I-P-A-C vote, that's controlling him, that would not let him send representation to the Darfur Review Conference, that's talking this craziness on this trip, cause they're Zionists, they would not let him talk to someone who calls a spade what it is. "

(It should be noted that since his inauguration, President Obama has visited with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Saudi King Abdullah, Jordanian King Abdullah, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. It's unclear what Rev. Wright would say to the President about the plight of the Palestinians that these Arab leaders would be unwilling to say.)

Since the leaders of those "Arab" nations are working FOR and WITH the Zionist Jews against their own fucking people, I am sure that Soetoro would have NOTHING more to add that those pieces of shit haven't already had to say to their subjugated and terrorized Palestinian "brothers."

That last statement really pissed me off because you can fool only SOME of the people, ASSHOLE, but not everyone--and we at TIU are no fools.  *at least MOST of us aren't!*
