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?

Ok. This is getting petulant. I have written extensively on my blog regarding race relations in america. I am very surprised that they did not include Dr Martin Luther King, Andrew Young, Or Joseph Lowery. I feel that there is alot of race-bating that is happening and it is getting more and more apparent. My post, Will Whites Vote for Obama and why do we need to still ask this question?, goes into question about why we still have these issues. My second post, Man, Before McCain says anything about Rev. Wright & Ayers, illustrates that McCain has G.Gordon Liddy in his corner. The third post, The media event of Reverand Wright, goes into detail about the situation. This is being used as a tool to stir negative race relations, and it is just simply out of step and just an old thing to do.
