” Christians have their eyes rolling back in their head “ was as far as I got.
This must be Olbermann’s way of daring NBC to fire him.

[Eddie01]

Olbermann was demoted. he he.

If I’d just been demoted, I’d be angry too.

“olbermann and maddow trashing palin’s religious side...”

all good liberals trash religion; especially Christianity.
and, all good liberals are brilliant because they know in their bones that religion is the opiate of all those hicks who love bibles and guns. such brilliance will save mankind from that religious mumbo-jumbo and set him on a course that will bring paradise to the earth as uncle karl promised.

And Obama's "religious" views...?

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

From "45 Communist Goals":
#27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion.

Catholics for Marx
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

From the New York Times, April 28, 2008
Reverend Wright at the National Press Club
"In the late 1960s, when Dr. James Cone's powerful books burst onto the scene, the term 'black liberation theology' began to be used. I do not in any way disagree with Dr. Cone, nor do I in any way diminish the inimitable and incomparable contributions that he has made and that he continues to make to the field of theology. Jim, incidentally, is a personal friend of mine."

From Jeff Head's website...
One notable quote from [James] Cone describing his Black Liberation Theology is as follows:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." - "Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology", in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, by William R Jones, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube (Westminster John Knox Press).

HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

"Their founding document [the Weather Underground's] called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[1] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."..."-Berger, Dan (2006).

They mock her religion at their own peril. God does not suffer fools lightly...

Olbermann is very close to a major life changing event.

[marron]

Obama was hoping to win over at least some evangelical voters, which is why early on he was stressing his credentials as a supposed fellow evangelical, and why he was anxious to appear at Saddleback. He needed to win at least some of them over if he wants to win in November.

Which is why the Reverend Wright rants were so damaging to him, it was a severe body blow.

Similarly, for his surrogates to be trashing Palin’s Christian faith is extremely damaging. Either he’s innocent in this, but doesn’t have the courage to rein these people in, doesn’t have the courage to defend his supposed co-religionist from attacks by the radicals, or else he has completely given up on the evangelical vote and is prepared to throw everything at her including the kitchen sink.

If he were a Christian, he couldn’t sit still while his people trashed her faith. And if his followers believed he was serious about his Christian faith, they wouldn’t dare raise it as an issue, because it would cut both ways. Evidently his own followers don’t believe he is a Christian, so its open season on Palin’s Christianity. If he’s silent, or half-hearted, we all have our answer.

You know, I got burned on this article from Scrappleface yesterday. But it turns out not to be so far from the truth.
