There were a handful of women and children in the church at that time, who might have easily perished. In fact, I read one report that the accelerant was poured at BOTH the entrance and exits. It’s an awfully serious matter. Yet the news media pretty much dismisses the whole thing, and pop-culture hacks utilize it for jokes.
As has already been mentioned here several times, we sure wouldn’t see this kind of reaction had it been Obama’s church. The media just doesn’t see any problem with a bunch of white ‘hillbilly’ Christians in Alaska being burned out. Probably thinks they deserve it. Especially due to its connection with Palin, whom they so crave to destroy. They are truly vile.
Recent trends suggest these 'hillbillys' are plunking down some serious cash at outdoor sports stores and they aren't buying tents. When Real America gets strapped, there's going to be some Change You Can Believe In.
OH my L-rd. I did not know this. How DARE David Letterman treat this as a joke?
What if this had been Reverend Wright's church? Or a gay bathhouse in San Francisco?
Obviously we have Protected Classes of People in this country. What next, signs out front saying "Christians: No Need To Apply"?
If it wasn’t an all-black church, it can’t be a hate crime. /sarc
