In 2006 Obama Attacked Pastor Screeds Even While He Embraced Jeremiah Wright - Audio

In 2006, Barack Obama attacked "activist pastors" whose message is more "screed than sermon." This was before the world really knew about Obama's pastor of more than 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, whose "sermons" have been one "screed" after another. Obama's comments were played on Dr. James Dobson's radio program yesterday:

Tom Minnery: This was delivered in 2006 before anybody knew about his then pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Barack Obama in 2006 sermon (tape): "No matter how religious they may or may not be, people are tired of seeing faith used as a tool of attack. They don't want faith used to belittle or to divide. They're tired of hearing folks deliver more screed than sermon. Because in the end, that's not how they think about faith in their own lives."

Dr. Dobson: Tom, I read the transcript of this and that one jumped out at me. How interesting it is that Senator Obama is condemning pastors there for their highly emotional diatribe when he sat for 20 years under the tutilage of his own pastor and eventually had to disown him.
