That Church doesn’t preach Christian doctrine.

Thank you for the correction. Your absolutely wright.

My husband and I listened to Senator Obama’s bumbling explanation yesterday. It is VERY obvious that he has swallowed the liberation theology message, which is NOT the true Christian Good News. This is why leaving his church changes nothing.

I am also amazed that Senator Obama seems to think that we might actually be unable to understnad that what he is doing here is simple political pandering. Amazing....

Throws his church under the bus for POLITIAL ambition.

You're gonna need a bigger bus.

It will be interesting to see how trinity, the congregation and black liberation theologist on whole respond to this.

Do you notice how the media ignores the congregation in all of this?

Everytime Rev Wright or Father Pfleger are on a rant, you can hear the congregation going right along with it in racous laughter and righteousness.

Obama is a member of that same congregation. He cannot separate himself from this racism so easily since he was a part of it for 20 years.

[Non-Sequitur]

“We don’t want to have to answer for everything that’s stated in that church,” Obama told reporters in Aberdeen, South Dakota during a rare Saturday night press conference.

So it's not because of what Wright and Moss and Pfleger were saying, it's because you just don't want to have to field questions about it?

In another thread Obama was quoted as saying he was leaving the church because he didn’t want to have to continue explaining them. He didn’t condemn them, he’s leaving because he doesn’t want the millstone around his neck during his run for office. That’s throwing the church under the bus.

But “Black Liberation Theology” is not Christianity. I’ve never been to such a church, but I question whether they even “worship” God. It would appear they “use” God’s Word as a means to roil the people against Whitey and the U.S.

> That was the basis for charity and care for the poor.

Yes, but charity, by definition, is voluntary.

It is good that you retracted, “..doing battle for the poor.” This has been used as cover by totalitarian thugs and Marxist rabble all over the world.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Substitute 'Jews' for 'Whites' in Reverend Pfleger's rant and you have a show worthy for Goebbels. It was racist demagoguery, hate incitement of the vilest sort. The Liberals still bring up Father Coughlin and paint him as a right wing radio talker, this guy puts Father Coughlin to shame.

Remember, first Obama said Rev Wright couldn't be denounced, then he denounced him. Now, Obama says Trinity United doesn't deserved to be denounced. But that's just Step One. Wait for the next couple of weeks, when Minister Farrakhan speaks at Trinity, then that Church will suddenly deserve to be denounced.

And man, oh man, what a trinity at Trinity: Wright, Pfleger, Farrahkan. What is wrong with Chicago? Is that what 100 years of Democrat Party rule brings?

[SumProVita]

“Mr. Obama believes if we just sit down and talk with those who hate us we can turn Iraq around. Funny that he couldn’t do it with his own church.”

You mean that Senator Obama doesn’t “practice what he preaches?”

;-o

[Appleby]

Apparently they do not accept out-of-country signatures, but I will pray for your success and will say an extra Rosary today for the removal of this shameful excuse for a priest.

[SumProVita]

“I’m surprised at how badly he does when he doesn’t have a teleprompter to read from, a lot of stuttering and false starts.”

In this case, it was even worse. He was attempting to talk about FAITH and, since I suspect he is lacking in this area, he had to consider his words even more carefully. If he had a secure faith, that would not have been so necessary.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

I see a man who simply admitted he was tired of having to defend the vileness and hatred that was emanating from his "church". If he threw them under the bus, it was with a pillow placed in the landing zone.

[Notasoccermom]

Spinning like a top!

B Hussein o had better get high lift gas shocks for that bus. Not much room left under there.

“I did not anticipate my fairly conventional Christian faith being subject to such challenge and such scrutiny...It’s not a church worthy of denouncing,” he said. Obama said his critics “they’ve seen caricatures of the church and accept those caricatures despite my insistence that’s not what the church is about and there’s not much I can do about it”

If TUCC is A-OK, why is he leaving it?

[UltraKonservativen]

Yeah, “under the bus” was my first thought....Mine too.

There’s a commercial (pony?) in there somewhere.

First he threw his Grandma under the bus
Then he threw the reverend under the bus
And then the whole church went under the bus
What’s next?
Will he throw all of US under the bus?...

Obama Quits Trinity

So now it's down to just two, the Father and the Holy Ghost?

LOL!

Obama expressed regret at having to leave his church of over 20 years. “I did not anticipate my fairly conventional Christian faith being subject to such challenge and such scrutiny,” he said in South Dakota.

"Fairly conventional"? What lying sack of dog poop. There is nothing conventional about his brand of "Christianity".!

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Again I ask, has anyone seen the media take on Pfleger's rants about the evil whitey and his evil "assets"? All I have seen is commentary on the Hillary part of the "sermon". Now that Obama has separated himself from the "church", the coverage has taken a new turn.
