Looks like this church should lose whatever tax exempt status it has for endorsing candidates.

Typical black flim-flam.
Say 1 thing to white audiences.
Say another thing to black audiences.
It's called "pandering."
Obama has the technique down cold.
Obama is black.
Always will be.
Blood is thicker than mud.
For every race EXCEPT for whites, tribe (race) is more important than any other identity.
Whites are the only ethnic group (race) that is not allowed to identify its race for political purposes.
(No white caucus--no white TV--no white history month, etc., etc.)
Whites are also the only group in history to commit cultural and racial suicide (it's happening right now in the USA and in Europe)....

Flyingcow, that is the most absurd thing anyone has ever written on the message board. The United States celebrates white culture 365 days of the year. The curriculums in public schools are based on white supremacy....Whites discovered America, freed the slaves, made the laws and set the entire world free. White have identified their race for political purposes, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. You have white TV, the last time I checked it was only two PAY Channels (BET and TVOne) which specially cater to a Black audience. Also in terms of pandering, Hillary Clinton is the biggest of them all. She is the civil rights supporter to black voters and the fiscal moderate to the white voters.

Phil: Has Rick Warren, Charles Stanley, Pat Robertson, the late Jerry Falwell or any of the other Christian Right Pastors/Churches lost their tax exempt status for endorsing and campaigning George W. Bush?

Check out Obama's Church. The Sunpaper will not publish the mission statement, because the Sun does not want the truth to be known. The Trinity United Church of Christ website:

This is exactly why Obama will not get the Dem nomination. Every rube and yokel in the heartland who hasn't voted in 30 years will come out of the woodwork to vote against him in a general election, and the Dems know it. Hillary just needs Obama's fringe racist supporters to keep talking and she is a sure thing for the nomination.

Flyingcow is right about what he says. Obama is all about black power, he's just not honest enough to say it because he knows it would kill his chances. That's OK - if he's the nominee he will be crushed under a landslide in November

Rev. Wright is right. For eight years blacks pleasured Clinton just like Monica; pandering to the big pimp in the white house. Clinton didn't inhale, maybe he didn't reciprocate. Who knows? Let's fire up a Cuban (no offense Fidel) and smoke on this. Maybe Rev was right...

To Lou: Keep the facts straight! Obama has never said he will be sworn in on the Koran. In fact, he was sworn in his last office with his OWN BIBLE!

http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statement...

But Obama would be wise to distance himself from that church as much as possible. It is a church that veers strongly away from the bible.

I could be wrong but you have to excuse me I JUST DONT RECALL BILL CLINTON appointing

Unless we are giving credit to BILL that ( as most of us most admit goes to BUSH. for not one
black appointment in his cabinet but two ( To his credit Rice AND Powell)

The Clintons (pleural!) appointed fewer blacks to their cabinate, none to the Supreme Court, and far fewer to the Judicial system nationwide than the horrible George Bush has. Bill's chief political mentor, Senator William Fulbright, was a self professed segregationist all the way, and is on record for voting against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill.(The one Hillary says MLK had very little to do with, anyway.) The Clintons may have "felt your pain" 10 years ago, but frankly, they never really gave a damn about it, then or now. They just expect your vote to be handed over. Of course, Bubba did open an office in Harlem, but no one can ever accuse a Clinton of not being a master at pandering.

Political comments in a church? Where are the ACLU? They usually are demanding "separation from church and state". It seems even the ACLU are afraid of getting a false racial rap.

As Phil said this and any Church that espouses politics from the pulpit should have it's tax exempt status revoked.

From the article:"The candidate's 1995 book Dreams From My Father depicts Obama's decision to join Trinity United as a fundamental step in affirming his identity as an African-American. Obama's mother was white, he was raised in large part by her parents and he spent much of his youth in Indonesia with his mother's second husband. He only met his father, a Kenyan, once."

Why is Obama so bent on "affirming" his blackness, when he was raised primarily by the 'white' half of his family? And why does he consider his race as simply "African-American" when he is half Caucasian? Is he a racist?

The Clintons have riden the backs of Black People to every position that they have ever held. No one group of people has ever been used for personal gain (and with such great success) as the Black People have been used by Bill and HIllary Clinton. It is so wonderful and fitting that a black person my take away their final prize. Please note how Black political users of the poor ie. Sharpton, Jackson, Young etc have not backed Obama yet (just in case ???) The Clintons are fooling less and less Americans and so are the Black political hacks.

If this were a white church the media would be screaming "racism". The media is trying it's best to give us a liberal president and the liberals are doing everything they can to offer bribes to lure us into a disaster. I am worried because between a black and a woman who both are offering anything to get elected it bodes ill for our country.

Why has it taken so long for the black community to realize their loyalty to the Democrat party has gained them nothing?
