Rush Limbaugh Responds To KKK Comparison By Obama’s Easter Service Pastor

video
» 65 comments

Everyone, get to know the name Dr. Wallace Charles Smith. This bio tells us that Dr. Smith is the Senior Minister at the historic Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington D.C. and has written guest editorials in the Washington Post. More importantly though, Rush Limbaugh just called him “Jeremiah Wright Jr.” and you know what that means; we are going to hear a lot about the good pastor. The reason? Yesterday, Smith did the Easter sermon for the Obama family. Last year, however, he compared Limbaugh to the KKK. Yep, get to know that name, folks.

Limbaugh was referring to this Blaze story which quotes New Orleans radio host James Parker’s assertion that Smith engages in race-baiting. The smoking race card in this case was a speech Smith gave at Eastern University last year. In it, Smith stated that America was no longer past its race problems, even with a black president, since “Jim Crow” can now “get a regular news program on Fox” and Rush Limbaugh can make the same “statements that was once the purview of Robert Shelton and members of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Citizen’s Council.” Ouch.

Limbaugh was clearly not amused. While he was briefly under the mistaken belief that these comments had come during yesterday’s sermon and not, as they were, in January of 2010, Limbaugh mentioned that there really was no difference while correcting himself.

There’s an upside to this though! Every time Obama gets in trouble for his Christian leaders, we stop hearing he’s a Secret Muslim, right? Right?

Um, no. Listening to Dr. Smith was not the only way Obama got Easter wrong. Limbaugh also pointed out that Obama made a video message to the people of Iran for the Muslim holiday of Nowruz but didn’t make a video for Easter. Sure, as Limbaugh pointed out, Obama made a statement talking about the resurrection of “our Lord, Jesus Christ,” but where’s the YouTube video? Huh? I bet Obama even spent time hanging out with multiple costumed Nowruz characters instead of just one Easter bunny!

Way to go, Obama. You just can’t celebrate any holiday right and our Conservative media will catch you every time you screw it up. At least the Jews still like you. Oh, wait.

Listen to Limbaugh’s summation of the situation below:

    Rush will probably have more on the Wallace sermon tomorrow… this occured at the end of his show…
    An issue here is that these Liberal approved pastors are all social justice types…

  • Scott_in_MI

    Does this surprise anyone? All of Obama’s friends are American hating race-baiters. Just look at Wright, Ayers or Jones.

    You can judge a person by the friends he chooses

  • Black and Gold Brad

    It does seem that Obama prefers his pastors to be full of hate towards the white man.

  • BarneyFranken

    Yeah, who cares if Obama didn’t make a video message. Its only Easter- its not like its the most important Christian holiday or anything.

  • black and WHITE

    I’m telling you, hands down they just do not come any dumber than Obama.

  • skyfet

    I think Lord high drug addict Limbaugh is embarrassed.

    Christians for social justice?….THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

  • http://ninure.tk Ninure Saunders

    There no such as a Black Christian. All those churches are really secret mosques.

    And any Black person who disagrees with Limbaugh is a racist/

  • Harry Flashman

    I wonder if Obama thinks Dr. Wallace Charles Smith acted stupidly?

    Probably not.

  • cjd ohio 1

    wow, jon, to much MSNBC buddy, lean forward lol

  • Gasket

    That pastor was accurate. A little hyperbolic but his premise is dead on.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    There’s nothing so small Obama can’t screw it up .

  • Liberal Tormentor

    BFD, Christians SHOULD know that Jesus was for teaching you to fend for yourself and helping your neighbor, NOT being taken care of by the gov’t.

  • Liberal Tormentor

    HAHA, Lantern of Truth, that is very profound.

    Did Rush Limbaugh happen to mention what church he attended on Easter Sunday?

    Remember Joesph Lowery and his benediction at Obama’s inauguration? Ah, memories…

    Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right.

    Yep. Stupid whitey.

    So he is white? am confused. Limbaugh tells us all the time that he is black. Who should I believe a drug addict or someone who calls himself a Pablo? oh what a dilemma. unnnnnn

    Listen up baggers, here’s what we know about el Rush-bo. 1) He enjoys get-a-ways to the DR to “hang” with the “boys.” 2) He is drug addled and probably has wet brain. Pretty sure about this. 3) He is a draft dodger and a momma’s boy. 4) He is a proud racist and wears a Speedo. Other than that he’s a fine fellow with a high forehead.

    speedo, sh*t thanks for that thought garth damn

    Not at all. I take it from where it comes and it’s obvious from your statement you haven’t looked in a mirror lately, or quite possibly ever.

    oooo baby. Couple this little diddy with the press secretary’s lame response and we got us another controversy that will only add to the stench of the Obowmao Regime! But lets not take away from the “conservatives are racist” template of the Libs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Frikking love it. Right on Right on Right on!

    Didn’t Jesus teach social justice? It hardly seems inappropriate for a preacher to.

  • Oregon Conservative

    Well, well, well. Obozo trades in his racist Pastor in Chicago for a racist one in Washington DC.

    Glenn Beck was right. Either this douche has a deep seated hatred for white people or an undying love for those who do. 2012 can’t come soon enough.

    I bet you choke your chicken, jerk yer gerken while listening to el-Rush bo and I’ll bet you suck Limbaugh moose balls. I’m sorry, I truly meant to say Limbaugh’s testicles.

    You’re a creepy Osama follower. You would fit right in with this administration…he…he. Right, creep?

  • TfT

    Obama sure can pick the sane pastors, eh? He should have stayed home and issued a Presidential statement on Easter, or gone to Camp David and celebrated privately. Nope, instead he sits in the pews of another church who claims conservatives as racists and KKK members – right up Obama’s race baiting alley.

    Pathetic.

    Actually yes, no question about it. Pablo has issues not the least of which is that he is an idiot.

    There isnt a passage in the bible where Jesus talks about how its necessary for the state to tax in order to help the poor.

    His message is all about personal responsibility, not socialism. Once again, Garth Fails.

    I do find it interesting though that Garth and his comrades will attack the church on every one of its positions, but then turn around and try to claim Jesus as one of their own.

    It just goes to show you that there is literally nothing that sickos like him wont try to spin.

  • Alice67

    Boy! O’Donnell just eviscerated Limbaugh and his attempt to rewrite Jesus’ teaching to benefit the rich. Well done!

    Perhaps you follow the Gospel of Rush …. where Jesus wants the rich to keep it all.

    So his secret birth certificate revelation is that his mom is actually black? And his dad (peace be upon him) was actually not of mostly arab derivation? Stick to African American, it’s technically true.

    That sounds like Bill Clinton’s CV, did you click on the wrong wiki?

    Don’t forget to put some ice on that…

    I don’t think its a racial issue so much as a hate America issue.

You are an embarrassment and a buffoon with no knowledge of the Bible except what your stupid ass might absorb from the Anal Cyst. Next time please take just a little but of time to educate yourself about Jesus, otherwise you risk coming off as a dumb ass. You are truly a whack job and probably under medicated.

    I think we all know where you stack up in the body of Christ.

    Which part of Rush Limbaugh is a racist do you people not understand? If you listen to him and you agree with what he says that makes you just like him!

  • Sean68

    Why does Obama gravitate to racist black preachers?

    Prediction: MSNBC, who loves to comment on all things Limbaugh, will ignore this story.

    Suggest the Masses look up: “Organization & Principles Of The KKK – 1868.” Campare it to today’s Repug Party. Enlightening??
