Perpetuating the mythology of hateful and racist Tea Party zealots, United Church of Christ and United Methodist officials are attacking the demonstrators outside the Capitol who protested the March 21 vote for Obamacare.
“I have been watching the activities of the Tea Party for months curious about their underlying motives,” intoned the Rev. Geoffrey A. Black, president of the 1.1 million member United Church of Christ. He condemned Tea Party demonstrators for having “spit upon” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) and having “shouted names that we have not heard in the public square since the days of the Civil Rights movement,” which are a “disgrace to our nation’s civility.”
While it is theoretically possible that out of thousands of demonstrators, a few could have shouted nasty epithets, so far no evidence has been produced, despite a multitude of videos. A video of the alleged spitting incident seems to show an effusion of spittle from shouting, not intentional spitting. Cleaver referred to the ostensible spitter as the man “who allowed saliva to hit my face.”
Despite the dearth of any proof, the Religious Left climbed aboard immediately with the worst assumptions based primarily on their own projected stereotypes of conservatives. The UCC’s Rev. Black insisted that he was “not surprised because I have long suspected that racism and homophobia are some of the underlying motives.” He called upon his “brothers and sisters in the United Christ of Christ and our faith partners to resist entering into dialog or debate with such demonstrations of hate that go against our Christian understanding to love our neighbors.”

Yeah, well I’ve been watching the “Religious” Left for YEARS and they ain’t religious. Buncha damn Marxists hiding behind the cross of Jesus. Pretty disgusting, actually.
Been watching via the MSM or doing your own due diligence?
Remember the howls of outrage when Jerry Falwell made political statements - “religion and politics don’t mix”, etc.?? When they agree with the cognoscenti, these “leaders” of failing and fading mainline churches are the most quoted and praised.
“I will also point out that Leftists cannot be Christians. He’s performing his job under false pretences. “
BINGO!
I’ve noticed a lot of MSM attention on the tea party movement in the last few weeks. It’s because they recognize the impact these folks are having and are trying to neutralize them. Keep the pressure on, tea partiers.
Threshing time approaches.
Wheat vs. Chaff
Had Obammy been full white not just part white.....what could they scream about?
Wrong. The Left is very religious. (Click my screen name and see who they are)
“I have been watching the activities of the Tea Party for months curious about their underlying motives...”
Motives? Uh... maybe sanity?
Holy smoke!
Years ago in my town of Milford Ct, we right wingers resisted a HUD program of scatter-site housing which basically required the town to buy single family homes and rent them to welfare clients. A terrible program.
The local clergy gathered together and labeled us racists.
Now the houses are run down, gutted and ruined as predicted.
The church of satan coming after the Tea Party?
The soiled Reverend will either confess this sin to God and publicly recant his transgression, apologizing to those whom he slandered, or he will carry this sin upon his soul before the Throne of God at The Judgement, and burn forever in Hell for his rebellion against God's Holy Word.
I pray he confesses and recants. It is his only hope.

Religious Left=Oxymoron
The United Methodist Church has been living off rich widows for years.
