Excerpt from Fox News today:
"The Chicago church attended by Barack Obama is fighting back against
media coverage of its controversial pastor, issuing a statement on
Sunday, saying reports on the inflammatory remarks by Rev. Jeremiah
Wright are an attempt to attack “the history of the African American
church.”
“Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.’s character is being
assassinated in the public sphere because he has preached a social
gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and
around the globe,” the leaders of Trinity United Church of Christ wrote
Sunday in a statement distributed to the media."
Sounds familiar. Racists of any stripe always get indignant when they get unmasked.
How the KKK reacted back in the day:
"The Church of Arian Supremecy is fighting back against
media coverage of its controversial pastor, issuing a statement on
Sunday, saying reports on the inflammatory remarks by Rev. Nutjob Dragon Wizard are an attempt to attack “the history of the Southern pride.”
“Reverend Dr. Wizard Rat Fornicator's character is being
assassinated in the public sphere because he has preached a social
gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in the South,” the leaders of Church of Arian Supremecy wrote
Sunday in a statement distributed to the media."
