In Easter Sermon, New Obama Pastor Charges Rev. Wright Victim of ‘Lynching’
FOX News ^ | March 23, 2008 | Jeff Goldblatt and Judson Berger

Posted on 03/23/2008 10:06:08 AM PDT by bamahead

The new pastor at Barack Obama’s church used his first Easter sermon on Sunday to compare controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to Jesus’ death at the hands of the Romans.

Sunday’s sunrise sermon, delivered by Rev. Otis Moss III, was called “How to Handle a Public Lynching” and focused primarily on the media firestorm that has focused international attention on this Chicago ministry, which is the church attended by the Democratic presidential candidate.

“No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching. The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?” he said.

“If I was Ice Cube I’d say it a little differently — You picked the wrong folk to mess with,” Moss said to an enthusiastic congregation, standing up during much of the sermon.

Cultural anthropologists of the future will have some head scratching moments, that’s for sure.

I got an error on the first attempt to post this thread. However, it posted, but with no comment #1. Strange.

Well, they got Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.’s twin blister to take his place.

Its getting close to "KILL WHITEY" time for these folks.

OBAMA is now basically threatening riots if he isn't elected the next POTUS.

If Obama is NOT elected, you can bet Jihad Jerry Wright will come out of retirement to call the masses into action.

If McCain IS elected, he will appoint some Jihad Jerry or Farakan like figure to be cabinet secretary in charge of handing out money and other tribute to the militants.

Instead of the resurrection of Christ, they choose to spend their Easter talking about this?

Amazing, isn't it? No message of love and redemption from that pulpit. Their eternal misplaced anger and outrage is wearing thin. That facility isn't a church with a ministry, it's a militant black political action committee.

This isn’t a Church of Christ. It is the black equivalent of a KKK meeting, or rally or whatever the KKK calls their incitements to hatred.

He apparently missed the parts about love, redemption, and joy — you know all that stuff about God...

Sermon used “lynching” without scare quotes, literally!? Well, they also claim AIDS virus being a weapon developed by whites to kill blacks... and that black community being having en mass oral sex with Clinton... and, oh come on already, how stupid and pathetic it all can get!?

Yes, he can. Obama’s campaign uses riots blackmail to the fullest. If he is nominated, it will only get worse by November.

Oh, so now those "typical white people" who don't like hearing about how this country is "God Damned" are performing a lynching?

This won't play well in Philadelphia.

“If I was Ice Cube I’d say it a little differently — You picked the wrong folk to mess with,”

These are certainly "fighting words."
