Someone should youtube Tamron Hall's defense of Trinity Church ... |
|
a pretty black MSNBC reporter named Tamron Hall was on Hardball today- she said when she was in Chicago, she was told that Trinity was one of two major black churches she should consider joining as a black professional and that no one suggested that it was radical or not mainstream.
More importantly, she said she went to about 10 services and didn't see any controversial remarks. She said after the controversy broke she called some friends of hers at the church and they didn't see any such remarks either. So the notion that it was a den of radicalism every Sunday isn't borne out by the record.
Someone needs to youtube those remarks- they are the best defense of Trinity I've seen yet.

I thought she said she went there for 10 years. I know she said she lived in Chicago for 10 yrs. I was cooking and trying to listen so I missed some of it.

Rev Wright would certainly NOTICE when Obama was there, and may have "tempered" his sermons on those days too..

to one of the more dense Clinton supporters that those few sound bytes out of thousands of sermons was not what that church was all about. Of course, it fell on deaf ears.
This particular hater said Sen. Obama was a liar, blah, blah, blah, because he had to have seen the church bulletins, etc., etc., etc. Trying to reason with some of the more vitriolic haters is like talking/banging your head against a brick wall.

10. You know what really bothers me about this? |
|
Where the hell was the MSM with all this handy information while they were roasting Obama over his membership in that church day after day, for what finally turned into months?
They suck. They all suck.
