DR. GAIL ANDERSON HOLNESS, GREATER WASHINGTON COUNCIL OF CHURCHES: He [Wright] is not preaching hate theology. And that should be a clear statement. It's not hate theology. It is a liberation theology. When Jesus was around, they didn't respect Jesus. They were angry with him. When he spoke the beatitudes on the mountain. They were angry with Martin Luther King when he was around, and they didn't respect him. And now he's a great hero. . .

Rev Wright is now Jesus.

Father, forgive them for they not what they do.

I’ve read the Beatitudes and Gospel of Jesus. I find very little in common with the venom spewed by Wright. I am offended that an ostensible member of the clergy (Holness) would pervert the teachings of my Lord and Savior to attempt to square them with the utterances of Wright.

I ask myself, if he were in attendance at Wright’s Church of What’s Happenin’ Now:

What Would Jesus Do?

As sickening as the comparison to Jesus is, the comparison to King is almost as bad. Compare the “I Have a Dream” Speech to one of Wright’s sermons and the difference is like the difference between the Declaration of independence and the Communist Manifesto: Black and White, if you will.

“When Jesus was around, they didn’t respect Jesus. They were angry with him.”

Uh huh, so anyone who makes people angry = Jesus.
A lot of people were angry with Hitler too.
That is such a looney and cr*ppy analogy, I’m shocked someone go away with saying it.

“Father, forgive them for they not what they do.”

I think they know what they are doing - grasping at straws.
Throw Jesus, Grandma, and America’s white populace under the bus, we have a candidate to save.
