What is Barack’s Church Hiding?: Post-Wright, New Secrecy Envelops Trinity Church
By Debbie Schlussel
Remember how Barack Hussein Obama told us that what we heard from Rev. Wright were “just snippets” of a 20-year-plus career? Remember how he also told us that now that Rev. Wright is conveniently retired from Obama’s Trinity United Church that it doesn’t matter what he said? Remember how B (Hussein) O told us that if he heard the things that Rev. Wright said and if he was still the pastor that Obama would leave the church?
Well, apparently, the church now wants to avoid putting Obama in any inconvenient situations that would set the scenario where those excuses wouldn’t work anymore.
In anticipation of newly-retired Trinity pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s speech, Sunday, to the Detroit NAACP, Detroit Free Press reporter Naomi R. Patton visited the church. Her report makes clear that the church is not trying to avoid future “G-d Damn America”s and future anti-Semitic statements. They are simply trying to keep you from finding out that this continues to go on at the Hussein Obamas’ church:
The pulpit was dedicated in March as sacred ground through June in honor of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s 36 years as pastor. The designation shows that Wright — officially senior pastor since retiring in February — looms large even when he’s not physically in the church.
Visitors approaching church entrances are immediately greeted by signs on the glass doors directing members of the news media to sign in at the front desk. More signs warn: “NO CAMERA & NO RECORDING DEVICES.”
It is the most obvious reference to the months-long imbroglio involving video clips of some of Wright’s past sermons — considered unpatriotic and racist by some critics — that ensnared the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., who attends the church.
On the wall behind the front desk, a small plaque reads: “Unashamedly Black, Unapologetically Christian.” The church’s media staff — comprised of a minister of communications, a media coordinator, and a media director for Wright and Moss and their staffs — has grown more media savvy over the past year. . . .
Reporters, who have attended the church every Sunday for the past month, according to Media Coordinator/Deacon Donna Hammond-Miller, are chaperoned.
Notepads are not allowed in the 2,700-seat sanctuary. Interviews with members cannot be conducted on church property. . . .
Before offerings last Sunday, [Rev. Otis] Moss [III], who has a master’s degree in divinity from Yale University and a doctorate in theology from the University of Denver, asked members to give a bit more to help pay for the additional security staff the church has hired this year.
The Detroit Free Press’ headline for this story calls Obama’s newly-secretive church, “Media Savvy.” I call it what it is, a cover-up. Clearly, they are trying very hard to hide something.
Just what is the Hussein Obamas’ church afraid reporters might see and hear?
Does Hillary’s church (if she belongs to one) have this kind of secrecy and security? My synagogue doesn’t.
these black replacment theology proponents should found their own religion and leave Jesus and the bible out of it. their corruption of christianity has nothing to do with the jewish jesus.
