Come on, folks. Obama's childhood Muslim connections is a red herring. There's something much more sinister and dangerous about Obama's current religious affiliations. Obama pictured with Wright (right)
This morning, the Chicago Tribune acts as a public relations firm for Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. Nowhere in the puff piece is a mention of Wright's black supremacy teachings, his pro-Palestinian rhetoric, nor his vile hatred of George W. Bush.

Obama says that rather than advising him on strategy, Wright helps keep his priorities straight and his moral compass calibrated.
"What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice," Obama said. "He's much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I'm not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that's involved in national politics."
Despite Trinity Church of Christ members accusing me of being a bigot for calling into question their church's Black Value System and Wright's bizarre preaching in my recent Star columns, I contend Obama's Muslim connections are irrelevant, and that by far, Obama's longtime affiliation with Wright should be much more disturbing.
It appears the only way the truth about Barack Obama's pastor and church to take hold is for the blog world to take it on.
