WASHINGTON POST GIVES OBAMA COVER WITH SANITIZED REVEREND WRIGHT ARTICLE

[News Busters]

Playing defense for Obama: Karen Hawkins and Christopher Wills of the Associated Press, as carried in the Washington Post ("Obama Found a Home in His Church") on Thursday—at least according to News Busters:

“Call it a Wright-wash -- Hawkins and Wills managed to avoid any mention of the main tenets of "Black Liberation Theology" (details
after the jump) that form the foundation of the belief system of the Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC). Until recently (though TUCC's Pastoral Staff page at its web site still does not reflect the supposed change), TUCC was headed by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose preaching moved presidential candidate Barack Obama to join the congregation 20 years.”

The article also managed to avoid any mention of often inflammatory items in weekly bulletin articles published by the Church, and failed to mention the Church's belief system, which was outlined by McClatchy's Margaret Tavel on March 20:

“Jesus is black. Merging Marxism with Christian
Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow. The white church in America is the
Antichrist because it supported slavery and segregation.

“Those are
some of the more provocative doctrines that animate the theology at the core of
Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Barack Obama’s
church.

“….. Wright has said that a basis for Trinity’s philosophies is the work of James Cone, who founded the modern black liberation theology movement out of the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. Particularly
influential was Cone’s seminal 1969 book, “Black Theology & Black
Power.”

“Cone wrote that the United States was a white racist nation and the white church was the Antichrist for having supported slavery and segregation.”

And then there are the Reverend Wrights’ church bulletins.

A June 10 bulletin article, also in the "Pastor's Page" section, was written by terrorist sympathizer Ali Baghdadi. Among other things, Baghdadi wrote:

“I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally to the White Supremacists of South Africa. In fact, South Africa allowed Israel to
test its nuclear weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The Israelis were given a blank check: they could test whenever they desired and did not even have to ask permission. Both worked on an ethnic bomb that kills Blacks and Arabs.”
