Reporter Fred Lucas of CNSNews.com (a project of the MRC) has found an interesting quote for Tim Russert or others at NBC and MSNBC to ask Barack Obama about in their next live interview. A "social justice" minister at Obama's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago wrote an article for the church bulletin last year that the Don Imus incident on MSNBC proved the networks were run by right-wing bigots:
In a column in the April 15, 2007 bulletin, the Rev. Reginald Williams, the associate pastor for social justice at Trinity United, said he was not surprised by the racially charged remarks that talk-radio host Don Imus made about the Rutgers University women's basketball team because "the major networks are run by right-winged conservatives who still see black people as subhuman and portray black people as such."
In the patriotism category, Trinity's Rev. Williams also suggested the Pentagon was training terrorists in Latin America -- an article of faith on the Castro-sympathizing left:
In the April 22, 2007 bulletin, Williams called for shutting down the Pentagon's WHINSEC School of the Americas, saying the school "in no uncertain terms trains Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation. In short, the United States Army trains students at this school of terrorism."
The two bulletins in which these columns were printed had been posted on the church Web site, and Cybercast News Service sent copies of them to the church, where an official authenticated them.When contacted by Cybercast News Service , Williams said he was "not interested" in being interviewed.

Then why is it that I only hear this from Black people?
Sounds like the current
May 10, 2008 - 07:06 ET by mjgSounds like the current minister is like the former one. No difference there.

May 10, 2008 - 07:35 ET by motherbeltI put this in another thread, but it fits here better; here's some more info on this man Barack Obama has called a wonderful young pastor, who quotes Ice Cube from the pulpit and published an article by a Hamas leader on the "Pastor's Page" of the church bulletin.
Wow, there really is no
May 10, 2008 - 07:40 ET by mjgWow, there really is no difference between the young pastor and the former one. He curses in the pulpit too? I'm amazed. I have never heard anyone, not priest of minister or religious person, ever curse in public.
Along with Wright's
May 10, 2008 - 07:54 ET by motherbeltAlong with Wright's demonstration of ridin' dirty !
I can't, in my wildest imagination, imagine any priest or minister I've ever known, acting like that...anytime, anywhere, nevermind in the pulpit!!
You have to wonder, from
May 10, 2008 - 07:29 ET by motherbeltYou have to wonder, from these sermons: have these guys ever heard of preaching Scripture????
Every town in this country,
May 10, 2008 - 06:48 ET by ricklailEvery town in this country, no matter how small or large, has a "church" where all the mover and shakers in that town go. Trinity IS the happening place in Chicago. Most of these places are no more than a gathering of those who want to be seen. The gospel that Paul and others preached and is being preached is many churches today has given way to the social gospel in these type churches. The spirit of the Church in Laedocians in the Revelation is alive and well in Trinity. Jesus Christ is banging on the door trying to get in. They are too busy with all the social programs going to be bothered with Him. (If you have a Bible go to Revelation 2:14 and read. The passage is not hard to understand.)
Obama refuses to cut ties with the place. I really believe that this association is going to cost him in the long run. Granted the MSM is not going to report on the things going on in Trinity. The message is getting out. I am hoping that the blacks will step up and vote as Christians instead of by race. That might be pie in the sky.
"A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself." A.W. Tozer (Pharisee=modern day liberal)
I agree not cutting ties
May 10, 2008 - 07:07 ET by mjgI agree not cutting ties will be Obama's downfall.
Careful what you hope for...
May 10, 2008 - 07:11 ET by sarcasmoIf they "step up and vote as Christians" IMO that means really good news for an excellent preacher named Chuck Baldwin, or possibly whoever the LP picks. Like the US Constitution, Jesus Christ said nothing about any "2 party system," and He wasn't too big on "lesser" evils, either.

The tax & spend drug war looks racist in the real world.
That's because He didn't
May 10, 2008 - 07:23 ET by motherbeltThat's because He didn't come to teach about the things that are "Caesar's."

May 10, 2008 - 07:11 ET by Conservative in the Artsthe Rev. Reginald Williams, the associate pastor for social justice at Trinity United......
That speaks volumes to me about what type of church this is. A pastor for "social justice?" is he above or below the "children's pastor?" or at this church are they the same?
Ever been to a church that never quotes or reads from the bible? They just paraphrase or make stuff up like Nancy does.
Scary stuff!
Wait a minute
May 10, 2008 - 08:19 ET by Logic over emotionThis church thinks MSLSD is run by right-winged conservatives ? How ultra-left are these guys? Yikes!
Rev. Reginald Williams..[
May 10, 2008 - 08:40 ET by motherbeltRev. Reginald Williams..[ ]... was not surprised by the racially charged
remarks that talk-radio host Don Imus made about the Rutgers University
women's basketball team because "the major networks are run by
right-winged conservatives who still see black people as subhuman and
portray black people as such."
So Don Imus dreamed up that description on his own?
Excuse, me, Rev. Williams, but Imus' "nappy-headed ho's" comment was in imitation of gangsta rap, which is a product of black culture.
So who is it that sees black people (or at least black women) as subhuman?
Social Justice
May 10, 2008 - 09:27 ET by iveseenitall"Social Justice", another phrase on the list of code words for "liberalism"/socialism/communism. A vote for Barry is a vote for "liberalism"/socialism/communism. Everything you see of him and his associates points to this. I guess we have to hold our noses and vote for McCain, a man of honor who has some strange political leanings, but is a patriot for sure. Barry, et.al.---not patriots who love America; just the opposite, collectivists who want to "change" America. A dangerous bunch.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"
Has anyone seen the
May 10, 2008 - 09:36 ET by malcumHas anyone seen the re-incarnation of the Imus show on that hillbilly cable channel? He's gone so far to the left now it looks like a "Roots" rerun. He's become the biggest black apologist in the country. Al Sharpton must have scared the poop out of him.
Mother, I agree
May 10, 2008 - 09:44 ET by jefflebowskiIt is incredible that the black culture thinks so little of it's women that it regularly refers to them as "bitches" and "ho's." The youth dress alike in their little costumes with pants below their butts, with "grills" on their teeth and aspire to be pimps and "gangstas." A small minority of the US population makes up the majority of the prison population. The majority of the black population seems unable to see this great country and all of its opportunity but prefer to sit back and call our for reparations and cry racism at every turn. 90 plus percent will vote for Osama because he is black (albeit a communist phony).
I have said it here before, but the tired old negro "racism" song wore thin with me years and years ago. At least some white people are starting to speak out now. Subhuman? By their fruits ye shall know them!
Do you think this was Martin Luther King's dream? Pathetic!

May 10, 2008 - 11:07 ET by Gary HallIf the major networks are run by right wing bigots (and one might note, that the entire leftist fringe shares this view), then how does Williams support this shrill view when the major networks, and their reporters, all have tingle up their leg for Obama?
It's a rhetorical question - there is no answer.
Unfortunately
May 10, 2008 - 20:06 ET by doug1950Jesus, Paul, Peter as well as the rest of his discipiles would not qualify or pass muster for membership in many "churches" today because of their zeal for the scripture and zero tolerance policies. Unfortunately many churches as well as some of the main stream denominations have basically sold out and become little more than social clubs for networking. Of course this new associate pastor carries on in the tradition of the old pastor, because it works! It keeps the pews and offering plates filled. It says in the last days things would be like this. Lovers of self rather than lovers of God (and a whole lot more that is already taking place).
Just a reminder that
May 10, 2008 - 15:32 ET by robert108Just a reminder that conservatives, who follow the founding principles of the United States as set forth in our Constitution, are not "right-wing". This is a lie sourced in the Marxist dialectic of the extreme left.

SURE, SURE
May 11, 2008 - 06:17 ET by BobAnthonyLike ABCCBSNBSMSNBCPBSNPRAP are all conservative run outlets!
And here is my explaining for the term Corporate Fascist media. It's major corporations running the media outlets, but they tend to hire radicals on the left. And Fascism, yes has its roots in left leaning politics.
These black Nazis sound like my college professor at UCONN-I-STAN. At the time I was at that school, I was working part-time...FOR AN NPR STATION!
To say the media is run by conservatives is like saying (I hope she can forgive me for this) my state's Governess Jodi Rell is a Republican. In reality, she's just a RINO.
