Rev. Jeremiah Wright's 'War on Iraq IQ Test'

Jeremiah Wright has two fundamental problems. First, he believes the world economy is a zero-sum game (hint: it ain't. See The Economic Zero-Sum Fallacy). Second, he buys into the conventional leftist moral equivalence argument. That is, there's no distinction between good and evil.

In 2003, Wright published the following quiz. It could have been written by a member of Hamas.

41. Q: How many UN resolutions did Israel violate by 1992?
A: Over 65

42. Q: How many UN resolutions on Israel did America veto between 1972 and 1990?
A: 30+

43. Q: How much does the U.S. fund Israel a year?
A:$5 billion

44. Q: How many countries are known to have nuclear weapons?
A: 8

45. Q: How many nuclear warheads has Iraq got [sic]?
A: 0

47. Q: Which is the only country to use nuclear weapons?
A: the US

[Ed: Wright obviously needs a history lesson. Perhaps he could read about the millions of lives saved by ending the war before Operation Olympic]

48. Q: How many nuclear warheads does Israel have?
A: Over 400

49. Q: Has Israel every [sic] allowed UN weapon inspections?
A: No

50. Q: What percentage of the Palestinian territories are controlled by Israeli settlements?
A: 42%

51. Q: Is Israel illegally occupying Palestinian land?
A: Yes

52. Q: Which country do you think poses the greatest threat to global peace: Iraq or the U.S.?
A: ????

Make that three fundamental problems. Wright also visited Libya, one of the poorest countries on Earth -- with Louis Farrakhan, an acknowledged racist and hater -- in order to schmooze with terrorist Muamar Gaddafi.

Gaddafi, you'll recall, ordered the attack on Pan Am 103. A Libyan bomb hidden in a suitcase exploded aboard the flight and killed 270 people. Among the dead were entire families and many children, toddlers and babies:

Wright's support of Gaddafi, Farrakhan and his hateful statements are signs of a serious problem for Obama.

Wright is provably a racist; a hater; and a despicable, divisive figure. That Obama claims not to have known of Wright's background is ludicrous. He must think we're as stupid as the Clintons assume we are.
