the redwhich? could be a mother goddess worshipper, so it boggles my mind why she would embrace a Christian pastor like Rev. Wright. Even if he preaches anger and liberal oppression.

I LOVE Rev. Wright! He is absolutely, totally correct..
Advertisements [?]Please watch Bill Moyers Journal -- his interview with Rev. Wright that's being broadcast tonight.
I wish I could vote for Wright for president. He is so right on. A beautiful truth-teller, an honest soul.
Thank you, Bill Moyers! This is wonderful. Wright is an amazing intellect. It makes my heart so happy to hear someone like this given a chance to speak!

1. And, be sure to compare this minister to Rush Limbaugh, Bush's Brain on Drugs.
I think this is a negitive comment, but with the moonbats loving drugs, I may be wrong.

4. I said that in some post some time back, and a couple of whackos attacked me, as if Wright were the
devil himself.
I suppose the attackers were Hillary supporters.
I don't doubt it one bit.

7. The devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape.
Particularly when he knows in advance that he's being interviewed.
I thought they don't belive in God?

9. Oh good grief! "the devil"?!?! Is this the Middle Ages?
There's no such thing as "the devil", there's only human ego, indulging its lowest impulses.
Rev. Wright calls on us to honor our highest selves. Plus, he's obviously a heavyweight thinker.
A very admirable human being.

says the redwhich? with a ancient symbol of the goddess as her avatar. One wonders if they really know what those symbols truely mean.

6. Bill Moyers is a theologian himself, albeit of the liberal baptist type,
and I suspect Wright's credentials in the world of liberal Chiristianity are possibly of quite good standing. In fact, seems that Wright perhaps has justifiable cause to cry 'slander'. Moyers had him on his show for a damn good reason. Moyers has probably known of Wright for years, or perhaps even knows him personally.
Bill Moyers is what I would call an Adult. He is showing us that there is no damn monster behind the door.
I...am...speechless.

18. Damn straight! I don't want to hear another negative word about Rev. Wright.
If someone can't get what he's saying, then they are just too dense or too delusional to be worth paying any attention to.

if I don't listen, you can't tell me the truth.

23. Agreed.
What little I know about this man, I found out on the internets.
This post will be interrupted for "A Short Story" sometimes known as TEH BOUNCY TAIL/TALE
After hearing about Barack Obama having this "minister" who delivered this incendiary sermon, I knew Wikiality.com had to have a page for this late-breaking news story.
So, I decided we would make a page so people could make their own jokes about how "frightening" this preacher was. I intended to use a real photo of the church, and make it so people could "write" their own sermons on the sign out front. (I assumed the church had one of those signs I had seen on many other churches.)
I asked google to find me a picture and it couldn't find anything. I decided I had to go to the horse's mouth (so to speak) and went directly to Trinity Church of Christ, Chicago!
Okay. The picture on the home page was too small. Now, I am going to have to wander around the site to find something. I'm clicking and clicking and finding nothing.
However, what I did find was a page called "Ministries", which I click hoping to find something I can use.
But, what I do find, is a church that reaches out to so many different people--every member possible in their community. More than what the GOP-controlled media had dared discuss: gays, single parents, prisoners, people who are living with HIV/AIDS, seniors, cancer survivors/patients and students at every level.
I never did find a picture, but those few minutes I spent wandering aimlessly through their webpage let me see a man the GOP-controlled media was never going to show.
We bring you back to this regularly scheduled post
P.S. I still did try to make a joke (through exaggeration) about how "dangerous" this man was.
the point being, I was going to do something, and didn't get around to doing it.

36. Oh good grief!
Posts like that are so damn depressing. Two-dimensional thinking is going to doom us -- peoples GOT to get to multi-dimensional.
The biggest challenge of our lives right now is to somehow inspire enough people to wake up in time to avert major planetary catastrophe.
Yup- let the redwhich? get into power and we is DUoMM'D!!!

46. I'm not Christian, but I would totally go to a church where Reverand Wright was pastor.

It would be great to go to church and hear such insightful, intelligent, prophetic words of truth.
All I've ever heard in a church was pablum. The same pablum every week.
It was a beautiful interview.
It breaks my heart to know what the media has done to this compassionate, brilliant man who has done so much for his community.
Edited to add: Obama's association with this great man makes me think more of him, not less.
