Dumb ?... Why did Wright's church sell the video to Fox or whoever bought it?

[ossman]

I heard that Fox bought the tapes a week before this exploded.

1. Source? Link?

Sorry, but "I heard" just isn't credible.

[ossman]

13. get a life. Who bought it wasnt really my point.

[silverweb]

16. Buh-bye.

Another rude and useless idiot goes on ignore. :)

[WorseBeforeBetter]

18. "Get a life"? What decade are you in? (n/t)

[WorseBeforeBetter]

2. Link? (n/t)

[David Dunham]

3. Correct. His church did him in.

[againes654]

4. It can be bought online

so anyone could have purchased it.

[slinkerwink]

5. actually, the videos were bought straight from church website

[NanceGreggs]

6. Because the tapes are available for sale to anyone ...

... who wishes to purchase them at, if I am not mistaken, $20 per. This was not a private sale to any one individual or organization.

[ossman]

11. Oh. I thought they were private tapes. Makes sense if they sell them publicly.

[NanceGreggs]

14. No, they are available on-line to anyone ...

... many churches now offer this service.

[kwenu]

7. Because they have nothing to hide and they aren't running for president.

[C_U_L8R]

It's not like Sean Hannity himself goes in and buys em.

They send one of their interns over.

Besides.. the church is hiding nothing.

8. From what I read they sell the dvd's in the church's store.

9. Fox probably had someone purchase it online.

The church probably didn't even know that it was someone connected to Fox Crap Channel.

[Hepburn]

10. The tapes are for sale on the church website....

...so you, me, and some asshole for Faux Snooze can get on the website and purchase whatever.

[babylonsister]

12. And go through a brazillion tapes to find "the perfect" soundbites.

That's exactly what happened, I'm thinking.

[NanceGreggs]

15. Yeah, that's the point that no one wants to address ...

There was a post here a few days ago (wish I'd bookmarked it - duh!) where someone went to the trouble of figuring out how many HOURS of Wright's sermons were available, and how a few MINUTES of "controversial" comments had been culled from those hundreds of hours of tape.

Somebody, somewhere went to a LOT of trouble to sift through all of those hours of tape to find something to "spin".

I wonder who did that.

17. This thread?

[babylonsister]

22. Hi, sweetie. I see you

on GD/P and want to pat your ass off sometimes, as you've asked us to do :D but I always appreciate you, and have since the day I found DU. :hug:

[crispini]

23. Ahahahaha.

:hi: :evilgrin: :hug:

[mythyc]

27. me too. thanks for adding the link.... nt

[NanceGreggs]

21. Yes, that's the one!

Thanks! :hi:

20. They were proud of what was on those tapes.

part of "a best of crazy Uncle Wright" that anyone could purchase.

They were making money off "God Damn America" and HIV

was created by rich, white men to kill black people.

24. You can buy any of the mega-church videos on line or order by phone.

25. My son-in-law is a pastor and my daughter mails me DVD's of his sermon every week.

[stillcool]

26. I think the Church sells them

..to people who actually want to listen to the Sermons' for the spiritual value.

[JoFerret]

28. It was on sale to everyone

as far as I can tell.

To them its not a shameful secret but just the way it is/ was. And a way to make money.

[indimuse]

29. They could have bought them on line is what I heard..

selling them from their website. I would like to know how many other churches are in Chicago...and WHY out of ALL the churches , Obama attended this one for 20 years...and never once "cringed"..?
