Easter Summary

FOX is reporting this. So are some other news outlets.

Obama's new pastor is Rev. Otis Moss III. Moss had a big openng sermon, which took place on Easter. Moss decided that it wasn't a time to talk about Jesus' saving man-kind from their sins. He decided it wasn't time to discuss the great miracle of Easter. It wasn't time to talk about Christ rising from the grave and walking amongst the Apostles with the ultimate hope.

No. Instead he decided it was time to raise the anti-American racist pig Rev. Wright to the same status as Jesus Christ crucified. Otis decided to crucify the press - which was only reporting on THE TRUTH of the situation.

Nothing has changed at that 'church'. No lesson learned. The anti-american racist whining continues. The new Pastor blamed everyone for what has been transpiring EXCEPT the perp - WRight.

Same ol' ... same ol'. Wonder if Obama will keep on going and donating money to this train wreck. If he does .. then that means he agrees with Otis Moss.

Considering the timing of the controversy, and his audience, I think Rev. Moss' decision to link Jesus and Rev. Wright was an astute one. Jesus was crucified, in part, for speaking truth to power. He spoke out against both the Roman oppression and those Jews who would benefit off the backs of their brothers. Rev. Wright spoke out against the American oppression and was, figuratively, "crucified" by the press. No one is calling Jeremiah Wright the Messiah or anything, but, aside from that, the parallel is clear.

Rev. Otis was right to pillory the press: they deserve it. We've been talking about Rev. Wright for at least two weeks worth of news. What else has been going on? Oh yeah, our economy is failing. Instead of discussing an actually pertinent issue that affects us all, in a most detrimental fashion, the press would rather get ratings by stoking ripping the scab off of our national racial wounds. Good job.

When you said, "Nothing has changed at that 'church'. No lesson learned," what did you mean? What was the "lesson" they should have learned?

@ semper

ps.. Liked the Rap part though.. Great place for that, in a church...

There's Christian rap, just like there's Christian rock. What's the problem?

Remember that YOU asked...



Race issues aside, what I can not tolerate is the "Blatent Anti-American" comments made by Wright.

The old adage comes to mind:

"If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem"

How is hate speech good for anything?

We'll have to agree to disagree on the subject of rap, but, honestly, I figured you didn't like it. That's okay. I was questioning the implication that rap doesn't belong in church.

Let me ask you, semp, what's "anti-American" to you? I've been seeing the term tossed around a bunch...

Well there are several things... Numerous in fact, I guess in the Grand Scheme of things....

In this regard though, it is ANYONE who curses my Country and while cursing it, remains here enjoying all that the United States has to give.

It is CURSING the same country that gives you, as a Pastor, a TAX EXEMPT status, so you don't even have to pay to run your mouth about the same country that is giving you the freedoms...

He was a United States Marine for goodness sake.. We have a history and standards and he crossed the line; and also being a United States Marine, I feel I have the "right" to criticize his unpatriotic actions as a fellow brother of the Corps.

It's all political BS, and we all know that. This time of year, it is hard to accept anything on face value.. Most everything is going to have a political agenda attached...

In the "light of day" I am sure this is no different...

We are just going to disagree with this I guess.
(Except the rap part. Rap in church is fine. )

I think it was vile.

Rev. Wright spoke out against the American oppression and was, figuratively, "crucified" by the press.

Rev. Wright spewed racist hate. He literally blamed the white man for everything wrong in the world and he damned America. He did it over and over. He wasn't 'crucified' by the press. He was exposed.

Obama's hypocrisy was exposed as well. He called for IMUS to be fired for his racial slurs (I was glad to see IMUS go!) and Obama claimed he'd never have anyone like that on his staff. OOOOPS ... not only did Obama have someone worse on his staff - he had him as his MENTOR.

the parallel is clear.

... clear as mud.

We've been talking about Rev. Wright for at least two weeks worth of news.

GOOD! Vetting is what needs to be done with everyone - including Obamessiah. I'd be just as glad to have David Duke exposed. Just as glad to have Hillary exposed. Just as glad to have McCain exposed.

What is funny is that whenever a politician gets caught with his pants down he (or she) says 'time to move on and discuss the issues'. Well, having them caught in lies IS an issue. Seeing who their long time mentors and advisors are IS an issue. The 'move along and talk about the issues' mantra only comes out when they are getting vetted and (rightfully) nailed in the press for their own bonehead moves.

Like Hillary this week - getting caught in a whopper - 'dodging bullets in Kosovo' .. she's now got that 'move on and talk about the issues' mantra going.

What was the "lesson" they should have learned?

That they are wrong to spew racist hate and to damn America.
That Wright was wrong.
But your post said that you approve the Wright/Christ link.
So you don't see a lesson to be learned I guess.

BTW - I don't think Christ would have given Farrakhan an award for his anti-white, anti-Jew life mission. Nope .. just can't see that happening ..

Wow! What utter hubris! Maybe this speech should be titled "The Audacity of Otis".
