Obama, Wright, Farrakhan, Together on 2006 Church Newsletter Cover
Posted on May 14, 2008
-By Warner Todd Huston
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?

Guilt by association…only 1% of Americans believe that having you photo on the same page as someone else means you support their views.This blog has to be a joke, right? Maybe a photo of McCain hugging Bush means McCain supports Bush?
Hahaha- gotta love Obama and the liberal media for hiding all of this… He is a laughingstock candidate. He shouldn’t even be allowed to run for office. He and his friends family and associates all HATE AMERICA. And people wonder why Obama’s middel east advisor has been secretly meeting with Hamas? And gee – wonder why Obama launched his political campaign at an American terrorist’s home… Ayers… yes what a lovely bunch they are. Especially Michelle Obamas message of doom and that hateful scowl she wears nonstop. GOD D@MN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Obama explained his relationship to the Reverend Wright and his church he unwittingly told us that he was either a clueless fool or a liar. Now we know which.
Wrong.
That’s not Adam Clayton Powell. That’s John H. Johnson, founder of EBONY and Jet magazine.
That’s not Elijah Muhammad. That’s Carl T. Rowan, former op-ed columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times.
What all those pictures have in “common” is a shared connection to Chicago. Johnson ran his publishing empire out of Chicago. Lou Rawls was born in Chicago as was the rapper, Common. Ossie Davis lived in Chicago. Johnnie Cochran got his law degree from the Loyola College of Law, based in Chicago.
And of course Obama, Wright and Farrakhan all reside in Chicago.
Starting to see a trend here?
Want to know why Martin Luther King wasn’t on the cover of the magazine? Chicago was the place where King’s message and methods flopped. King tried to bring the Civil Rights struggle up North to Chicago and found it even less hospitable than Selma or Birmingham. One of King’s most spectacular failures came at the hands of the boss of Chicago, Mayor Richard Daley, who knew how to defuse, distract and defeat the tactics had used so successfully in the South.
These are the facts. Please don’t let a little thing like the inconvenient truth get in the way of spreading rumors and smears.
Have a ordinary day.
