And if thats the case why aren't the other candidates being called to task about their churches and how much they adhere to their pastors and preachers.</I><BR/><BR/>You are absolutely right, it is a horrible double standard, especially in the case of McCain and Hagee. I'd take Rev. Wright over Hagee or Dobson any day.<BR/><BR/>But, I was just saying that from my own reading, I know that Trinity and Rev. Wright are being horribly misrepresented. Ideally, if the news media were doing their job properly, people would see the full picture. In lieu of that, it might be interesting if Trinity had a public relations "campaign".<BR/><BR/>I've seen some fair reporting on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 and MSNBC had a reporter on one day who had attended Trinity a few times and she said she never heard anyting "controversial". Unfortunately, attempts to show the full picture have been minimal.<BR/><BR/>There was one day when the media was trying to interview members outside of Trinity and no one was talking. It might have been helpful for those people to have talked to the media, tell them how unfairly their church had been painted.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, no Trinity shouldn't have to do anything, the emphasis on churches and religion is ridiculous, but this situation is what it is, and I hate to see your church unfairly misrepresented.<BR/><BR/>Lisa in OklahomaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-63625111074443309032008-05-03T15:29:00.000-07:002008-05-03T15:29:00.000-07:00Also, I do believe the stress of all those soundbi...Also, I do believe the stress of all those soundbites, the threats and disrespect of the church, and Obama having distanced himself had to have had a just horrible effect on Rev. Wright, one too deep to heal very quickly. The Moyers interview must have made him feel a bit better, but I think he was still not functioning as he would have had none of this happened; I just can't imagine anyone getting over all that very quickly. And the applause at the NAACP convention must have felt good. But I think he must still have gone into that NPC meeting off his stride -- and as a pastor, not a politician. I saw the looks and gestures of the moderator and can only imagine what the rest of the press were like. Basically, the only non-hostile faces were the church folk and I think he basically lost it, didn't think things through because he was still in such pain, and played to the only audience he felt would appreciate him. Interestingly, I read the Q&A to my husband and he loved them -- then I had him see the video, and he just groaned: it was not WHAT Dr. Wright said, but HOW HE SAID IT, that really played right into the hands of those who want to make sure Obama is not our next president. <BR/><BR/>I am still sickened by what has been done to Dr. Wright and the entire Trinity community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-23573149018649624232008-05-03T15:28:00.000-07:002008-05-03T15:28:00.000-07:00Thank you for your comments.

Unfortunately the black journalist in the mainstream media that I have read -- Bob Herbert of the Times are tying to absolve themselves by blaming Rev. Wright for the whole incident. They are shift the blame and blaming the victim. Also many of the liberal bloggers are engaging in the same framing of blaming Wright.<BR/><BR/>Bill Moyers provided an excellent and fair commentary about this whole controversy blaming the media for this episode of scapegoating and character assassination. It is regrettable that the black journalist in the mainstream do not have the guts to blame their employers because they are providing cover for this racist double standard.<BR/><BR/>It has been the most shameful episode that I have witness in politics and this should expose the white sheets that the Clintons really don.

The reason why HIV/AIDS rates are skyrocketing in the African American community is a lack of available health care resources. This is a result of African Americans being concentrated in metropolitan areas with public hospitals being underfunded at alarming rates and as a result of that hospitals aren't capable of treating clients as they should be treated.<BR/><BR/>If we're going to talk about this, let's tell the whole story.<BR/><BR/>And while we're at it, we need to get a working definition of "racism."

Maybe that is the point, why did he inject himself into the public arena...did he want this to be about him? What was the example of Christ to his accusers - Silence. When Jesus was tempted to engage in the politics of his time he declined, never did Christ confront or accuse the Roman occupiers of Palestine. He never addressed their war campaigns, their capital punishment,or the governments taxation except for his followers to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's. When his followers asked him to bring down destruction and damnation on others - (Luke 9:54) And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them? <BR/> 55 But he turned, and rebuked them. <BR/>Jesus was clear on how his disciples should be known - by their love, not by their condemnation of others. <BR/>When pastors or Christians from the left or the right leave their first love and dirty themselves with the temporal, including politics of their day, they have taken their eyes off the Lord and just like Peter walking on the water...they begin to sink.<BR/>Compare and contrast the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus to the teachings of Rev. Wright, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell or any other representative of Christ. Then, ask yourself if you hear and see the teachings of Christ. If there is not a distinct humbling and denial of self, loving of their enemies and clear message of the "Good News", then pray hard. Sacrificial love will always triumph. As Christians, let's pray "thy will be done",and forsake anything, including our own political wills that keep us from manifesting the true love of Christ in our speech and our demeanors. Defending ourselves with the good we do is meaningless if we do not first and foremost demonstrate love. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Why should we as Christians uphold our good works as a covering for our clear failure to manifest the true love of Christ? The Good News teaches us the clearly the fallacy in this thinking. Why should we expect the world around us to think differently?Wretched Sainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726121589887931295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-87168160279381331602008-05-02T08:23:00.000-07:002008-05-02T08:23:00.000-07:00This is a great post.

He is part of the govt. Who gets locked up? Blacks. Who gets infected in prison, blacks. Who gets out and infects others. Blacks. Who passes the telecommunications act. Bill Clinton. He already planned to have Hillary run. He knew then the airwaves would be controlled by 2008. I do not watch the news. Trinitarians and supporters. Rev. preached a sermon right after Juanita Bynums husband beat her down and the Senator Craig from Idaho was caught playing footsie in the airport mensroom. He did not mock them. Instead he challenged parishioners, "how would you like to have your worst mistakes all over the airwaves?" Obama is not God, God is God. He knew this day would come. And he will work it out for good. I heard from my mom yesterday CNN had reporters combing the neighborhood trying to interview neighbors, who they thought looked poor. Their angle, Trinity is well heeled in the midst of the poor Lowden homes.But I remember Lowden when I was in high school. I went to Harlan. It looks 100% better. There is no story about Grosse Pointe MI kitty corner to Detroits bad neighborhoods. And they do not look like the Lowden homes. These gossip columnist will stop at nothing. But I serve Christ not Obama. Yes I will vote for him but I care about Trinity. What is the price of a presidency?

Another fact is that AIDs is passed via unprotected sex and or via needle sharing. The Tuskagee Experiment involved the government sticking needles into black men. That AIDS epademic was causded by the Reagan Administrations total lack of concern. The government only becomes concerned when something can affect them and their kind; and there was an assumption on their part that their kind could not be touched by something that involved gay sex and or needles...they were thus proven wrong. They are still wrong today when they do not support needle exchanges and or free condoms...and of course education and support for organizations that work with the victims of this epademic.<BR/><BR/>Further...our political system no longer represents us the people. That includes whites, blacks and everybody in between. What most people do not realize is that Obama is the only candidate who has a minister and who actually goes to church...for the rest of them it religion is just something they give lip service to...they worship at the alter of power. <BR/><BR/>We were supposed to have McCain against Clinton and the only ministers on TV are to be Falwell, Robertson, and Dodson...the crazy white guys...<BR/><BR/>Obama doesn't know his place and to prove it they throw up his minister as an example...just in case too many of us sheep get to liking Obama...<BR/><BR/>I remember being a white kid in Detroit during the riots...and I thought it was interesting that my Dad complained just like the black people on TV did...<BR/><BR/>All these years I keep waiting for the day for the "middle class" to wake up and realize there is no such thing as the middle class anymore. I keep wondering when blacks and whites would realize that is it our own stupdity that keeps us apart and as long as we are kept apart the powers that be can maintain an economic system that benefits them...<BR/><BR/>I keep waiting for the day when white poor, working, and middle class people wake up and realize that having the same skin color as the powers that be gives them absolutely nothing in common with them. As a 50 year old white male I have more in common with Barack than I do with Hillary and or McCain. Even with the fact that McCain and I are both military brats...he daddy was an Admiral and mine was a sargent...he would not have even acknowledged my presence had we gone to school together...I would have been invisisble to him...unless I was in to being cool for hanging around (sucking up) with the big shots...<BR/><BR/>The powers that be do not want a fence between us and Mexico, they do not want to do away with welfare and they do not want to have full employment. If we did all these things then we could ask for more wages and benefits and that would hurt their bottom line. As long as we fear for our jobs wages can be kept low. <BR/><BR/>They pander to us by offering to lower gas prices by giving us a tax holiday...why not really lower the price of gas by getting out of Iraq? Everytime we go into the middle east gas prices go up...so lets get out.<BR/><BR/>But if we got out of Iraq then some oil companies wouldn't enjoy the profits they do now and they wouldn't get to push for drilling for oil in more places in the US.<BR/><BR/>So, Gloria honey, the only empty suit is the ones in office right now...and the reason the Republicans are so bent on attacking Obama right now and laying off of Clinton is because she is one of them...Obama scares them because he is not one of them....and neither are we (which includes you, me, Nicole, and the Reverend Wright)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-28240618109943424362008-05-01T15:48:00.000-07:002008-05-01T15:48:00.000-07:00You asked why Obama's pastor is getting so much sc...You asked why Obama's pastor is getting so much scrutiny when other politicians' pastors are not.<BR/><BR/>The reason is that Obama made Rev. Wright a centerpiece of his life story. Obama had him perform his wedding and baptize his children. He named his book after one of his sermons. He called him a mentor, almost a surrogate father, and someone who had a transformative impact on who he is today.<BR/><BR/>This is a much closer and influential relationship than the politicians you mention claim to have with the religious people you mention. And it caused Rev. Wright to come under closer scrutiny.<BR/><BR/>It also happens that many of Wright's soundbites play into people's fears about the black experience. This has made the soundbites politically useful for the oposition, which is what sparked the controversy. Instead of solemnly putting those controversial remarks in perspective, Rev. Wright defended them while hamming it up on stage in front of a room full of press people.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure he is a delightful and inspiring minister. He was out of his depth on national television in the heat of a political competition for the most powerful position in the world. He must have been advised by many to lie low until the election was over. I'm sure the last thing he wants is to be the person that prevented the first black U.S. president.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-8208407792856215912008-05-01T15:22:00.000-07:002008-05-01T15:22:00.000-07:00While Mr. Wright's quotes about GD-America, AIDS, ...While Mr. Wright's quotes about GD-America, AIDS, and Roosting Chicken's could be considered to be taken out of context when quoted - His speeches over the last few days make it clear this man is not totally sane.<BR/><BR/>Wild statements without proof will only continue to hurt whatever cause he thinks he is fighting for.<BR/><BR/>I really wish he would read the Bible and try to learn about being a Christian, while also trying to get some medical help to work on his internal issues.<BR/><BR/>All that said, I will still continue to support Obama - but that support would have to end if Obama continued to seek advice of this a man of hate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-34963573393395689252008-05-01T15:08:00.000-07:002008-05-01T15:08:00.000-07:00I am an Asian-American and US military retiree.

It is sad that we have inflicted enormous mayhem on the innocent and poor peoples in many nations, all in the service of the military industrial complex. But, where I disagree with Rev Wright is about his comments on AIDS and his theories of learning differentials (left vs right brain) which are so dated and now considered not scientifically not credible.<BR/><BR/>Most of all, Rev Wright's speeches at the NAACP and worse still at the National Press Club, were sad spectacles in that he became an egomaniacal performer. He could have made the same points he made in the tone and manner in which he conducted himself on the Moyers show. At the NPC, his open disdain for the moderator and his combative and downright insolent behavior made him a caricature of a rabble-rouser rather than a thoughtful Christian preacher. He showed no shred of humility what so ever nor did he show any compassion for the woman who was trying to pose the questions. And, also without question he showed disrespect to Obama by reducing him to a mere "politician" which he is not. Wright has caused more damage to Obama than to himself. It is sad that Wight's ego is still humongous and he seems to be unaware of it.

I don't see it as anybody throwing anybody under a bus. <BR/><BR/>Anon says:<BR/>I think we have all seen what Rev.Wright thinks about it he said it plainly and i admire him for that,Obama doesn't mean what he says he was only distancing himself from him for Political purposes! That's what is outrages not Wright's freedom of speech.<BR/><BR/>I say:<BR/>No what is outrageous is that the public buys into this crap without demanding the same examination of pastors and associations of the other political candidates...truthToPowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962362086622176577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-49292665606516875492008-05-01T14:04:00.000-07:002008-05-01T14:04:00.000-07:00Why do so many pastors allow their egos to expand ...Why do so many pastors allow their egos to expand when their number of congregates expand.
