Since when is a Christian church supposed to teach anger and victimization? The God that I believe in teaches us to forgive those who trespass against us. Christ was on the cross and asked God to forgive those who hung Him there because they did not know what they had done. I believe in the God of love. Not anger and resentment.

I can barely understand what he's saying. "Goddamn America" is in the bible? I don't think so. Obama certainly doesn't need this guy getting press. What kind of followers does this guy have that listen to this loser? I hope the FBI has a file on him and uncovers some drug or pedophile sex scandal.

This guy sounds awesome! I'd go to church if he was my pastor!
Wow, gonna do some searching for more footage of him speaking. Oh the debate? yeah, this guy is basically touching on all the same subjects as MLK jr. did. --------------------------------------- "They ask if our own nation wasn't using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government." - MLK Jr. --------------------------------------- "With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say, "This is not just." It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of South America and say, "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just." -MLK Jr.

How do you figure that the US government is the biggest purveyor of violence in the world today? I understand that there have been many deaths in the Iraq war but it pales in comparison to the amount of deaths caused by the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Saddam Hussein's regimes. Not to mention the sectarian violence and genocide going on in Darfur.

As much as I dislike what this guy's talking about, I don't think he's crazy. His incendiary rhetoric is certainly unsettling, but you have to give him credit for being able to use words and theatrics to evoke such strong emotional responses from people. Furthermore, take it with a grain of salt that his statements were not an issue until Obama's campaign began to gain some strong momentum... Seems a little bit like indirect mudslinging through association to me...Don't trust the press!!
