who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.

[snip]But if he cannot speak out unequivocally against the public, organized bigotry of his spiritual mentor, how can he possibly live up to this promise?

Wright speaking of this now at the National Press Club. Yesterday at the NAACP, via The Swamp:

Again Obama this morning suggested that he was taken out of context in his God Damn America sermon. Full sermon here. More Wright this morning,

"You can't do terrorism and not have it come back on you."

What has Wright wrought? USA Today, "Obama feels Wright impact". NY Times:

Have voters’ concerns about his patriotism and religion become a permanent weight on his biography?

Oh, and the Rev. Wright offers himself as candidate for Vice President.

This will not play in Indiana, or most of America. This is a disaster for Obama.

UPDATE: More on the profoundly racist Rev. Wright. Ed Morrissey, HotAir. Website of the Rev. Wright's church, from which he recently retired. What's up now on James Cone's black value system. What used to be up in Dec. 2006, courtesy of Illinois Review.Missed this earlier in the NY Times story--Obama is bored:

In interviews with several associates and aides, Mr. Obama was described as bored with the campaign against Mrs. Clinton and eager to move into the general election against Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee.

Is the Rev. Wright doing Barack a favor? Sure spices things up. Karl Rove with advice to the imploding Obama campaign:

Even liberal commentators who adore you warn you can't win with a McGovern coalition of college students and white-wine sippers from the party's left wing. Saying small-town voters cling to guns, faith and xenophobia because of economic bitterness hurt you; it reinforced the growing sense you don't share Middle America's values. So did asking about the price of arugula in Iowa, dismissing the "true" patriotism of people who wear a flag lapel pin, being "friendly" (as your chief strategist, David Axelrod, put it) with a violent, unrepentant '60s radical and having a close relationship with an angry pastor who expressed anti-American sentiments.

You argue the son of a single working mom can't be an elitist. But it's not where you start in life; it's where you end up. After a prestigious prep school, Columbia and Harvard, you've ended up with the values of Cambridge, San Francisco and Hyde Park. So you're doing badly in Scranton, Youngstown and Erie, where ordinary Americans live.

Rove goes on with Six Suggestions. Heh.

UPDATE: Jake Tapper, ABC's Political Punch on Wright's speech to the NAACP. Michelle Malkin, on Rev. Wright, racial phrenologist. VDH:

Wright’s speech on black-right brainers, white-left brainers — replete with bogus stereotypes and crude voice imitations — was about as racist as they come and at one time antithetical to what the NAACP was once all about. Again, the Obama campaign and its appendages have set back racial relations a generation.

More reaction from today's speech--Jonah Goldberg asks if CNN is being racist. Earlier CNN Obamarama, Wright is "amusing".Michelle liveblogged the Wright speech this morning. UPDATE: Sen. John McCain criticized the Rev. Wright's remarks, though he said he though Sen. Obama did not share those views. NY Times:

Senator John McCain delved on Sunday into remarks made by Senator Barack Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., saying it was “beyond belief” that Mr. Wright had likened the Romans at the time of Jesus’ crucifixion to the Marines and had suggested that the United States was acting like Al Qaeda under a different color flag.[snip]

Mr. McCain said that he did not believe that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, shared those views and that he was still against the advertisement in North Carolina. But he suggested that Mr. Obama had made the subject fair play by declaring in an interview shown over the weekend on “Fox News Sunday” that questions about Mr. Wright were “a legitimate political issue.”

“If he believes that,” Mr. McCain said, “then it will probably be a political issue.”
