Hussein Obamas' pastor "Blacks should not sing "'God Bless America'"

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Dogs, I don't think you ever commented on Bush's weekly discussions with Ted Haggard. What is your opinion of all that?

I haven't a clue what your talking about Smurph--
I've never heard of Ted Haggard but would be interested in knowing.

Will be looking forward to any references or video's you must have.

Church: Wright's character 'being assassinated'

March 16, 2008
BY MAUREEN O'DONNELL Staff Reporter

Sen. Barack Obama's church staged a strong defense of its senior pastor Sunday, comparing criticism of Rev. Jeremiah Wright to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. NO DOUBT

Obama's Democratic presidential bid has drawn scrutiny to Wright's outspoken comments on race and U.S. policy, as well as the Afro-centric flavor of Trinity United Church of Christ, 400 W. 95th St. Critics have said Wright is wrong-headed, militant and divisive. The church says Wright's commitment to social justice is a flashpoint for some conservatives.


"Nearly three weeks before the 40th commemorative anniversary of the murder of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.'s character is being assassinated in the public sphere because he has preached a social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe,'' the church said in a statement released Sunday.

During a Sunday evening service, Pastor Otis Moss III spoke of "external forces" that want to "box us in and vilify us."

In a Palm Sunday sermon laden with symbolism, Moss seemed to liken a biblical donkey or colt to the oppressed. To undermine it, "You have to assassinate the colt's character," Moss said to shouts of "Preach."

"....The domesticated donkey says, 'You need to stop talking that social justice stuff" and speak only of Jesus, Moss said.

In the church's prepared statement, Moss criticized basing Wright's legacy on a few comments. After 36 years of preaching, "It is an indictment on Dr. Wright's ministerial legacy to present his global ministry within a 15- or 30-second sound bite,'' Moss said.

"It saddens me to see news stories reporting such a caricature of a congregation that has been such a blessing,'' said church president Rev. John J. Thomas in the statement. "It's time for us to say 'No' to these attacks and declare that we will not allow anyone to undermine or destroy the ministries of any of our congregations in order to serve their own narrow political or ideological ends."

wright`s character`s being assassinated?.....

hmmmmm?.....when showing a film of a preacher's sermon amounts to character assassination, that doesn't say much for the preacher's character......

round and round and round we spin
to weave a wall
to hem us in

With this economy going in chitter. And only thing on Mc Cain's mind is his beloved war in Iraq. It's looking like Dem's could run a 20 year old kid with some common sence and win. Like I said Al Gores name is sounding good. Reb's are going to wish they had Rommney running.

 

[Eddie Haskell]

Totally agree, DJV:

Problem is, as Matt has pointed out in other threads, the Democratic party is too busy imploding to realize all they have to do is present a united front and they have a winner. I guess that's what happens when you are spread all over the place and try to appease too many disparate groups.

However, I still say "Yes, we can (kinda, sorta, maybe)"

Your probably correct DJV but unfortunately you let your radical left dictate your party's choices and and look what you got instead.
History shows that when economy is in bad shape- party in power has 0 shot of staying in power--however you have put forth the only two candidates possible that will allow GOP a good shot.

Rumor has Moveon and KOS want to avoid the pitfall of inner squabbling in 2012 and plan to run
2 lesbians as co pres/vice pres if they lose in 08.

 

[djv]

Hold on my left. I'll stay independent till day I walk in the booth. Reb's stuck with John. Dem's can hope for hung convention. And Gore is asked to save the day. If ever there was a year for 3rd party this was it. I don't mean some nut. I'm surprised out of those that were in it from both sides to start were left this. Shows what money can do.

McCain wins in a landslide. Every redneck will come out to vote against Obama, hopefully:shrug:

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Won't be anyone win by land slide--unless something drastic happens between now and then.
--as previously stated if economy doesn't stabalize will big huge uphill battle for GOP-

flip side--both Dems are now extremely polarizing

Don't see what how Obama's big speech today--can possibly undo damage thats been done-

Wasn't but week ago Obama had lead over McCain in national polls--has dropped like a rock in last few days--yesterdays Ramussen poll--

General Election: McCain vs. Obama Rasmussen (Mon) Obama 42, McCain 48, Und 10 McCain

Yes, if we're not careful, he will be playing Rap in the White House, drinking yak on Air Force One, and pimpin' out the Presidential limo.

word...what`s bothersome is who they`re sending out as the point man to deal with the rev. wright scandal....

it`s "sharpy" sharpton...he`s all over the airwaves...this campaign must have a death wish...

this is akin to sending ben johnson out to defend marion jones...

i wonder how long it will take before obama has the nation of islam as his personal bodyguard...

 

[Chadman]

McCain wins in a landslide. Every redneck will come out to vote against Obama, hopefully:shrug:

Yeah, I think we've seen what the redneck vote has provided our country with for the past seven years...a freaking redneck who talks and acts like a freaking redneck who's main claims to fame are being a bad businessman and partyin' too hard in N'awlins back in the day.

 

[Chadman]

It's starting to make me want to support Obama for the simple cause of listening to you fear-mongers hypothesize about all the dark dangers our country will be in for if the sinisterly backed and worshipping black man is elected president.

I wonder how many of you will be so concerned about supporting our President because they are our President (like we were all supposed to do with Bush) if Obama or Hillary are elected. I think I know the answer to that one, though, no response really needed.

What probably scares y'all the most is what the scary black dude might do with all his'n signin' statements...

:scared :scared :scared

Funny how "The Google" doesn't work as well for Wayne when he has to type in the word Bush as it does when he types in Clinton or Obama, eh?

I have to laugh how FOX beats him up no matter what he says. There so pure and right. I would say FOX would make great leaders of the KKK. But when there man O Rilley got his chit in hot water they helped pay off the 10 million to keep his chit out of press. But it's starting to leak slowly. Do they have double standard. Sure as hell looks that way.
