    I immediately read the pastor's name as Robert Byrd. Freudian?

    Pastor Byrd... Byrd rhymes with turd. Bigot? Jerk? hmmmmmm

    I'm not saying he is. It's simply to cause people to realize and to see what possible could happen if we had no sense of shame or morals. I don't know. I'm just giving people something to wonder about. I'm just asking. He says he's not a turd, I hope he's not. But I don't know. And it's just something to try to stir people's minds. Get them to think about the things before them. It was never intended to hurt feelings or to offend anybody.


    Hey Pastor, sometimes asking IS asserting, just without having to bear responsibility for your words.

    Obama would rather have a pastor that hates America, equates American foreign policy to that of Al Qaeda, is racist towards whites, and cusses and dry humps the podium in front of small children at church.

    Great judgment...

    so is hating muslims acceptable? what do you mean he would "rather" have a church as if this is an acceptable alternative?

    how is obama's church racist towards whites?

    This country is really screwed up. We have people trashing Obama for his Christian pastor of 20 years while people simultaneously trash him for being a Muslim. LOL

    I thought churches were not able to make political statements due to their tax status?

    and the sad thing is the congregation "unanimously" supported this.

    I bet the implied statement was "anyone who doesn't support this sign please signify by leaving the church"

    Well then it's time to pull the tax exemption for Trinity United from Chicago... Revered Wright stumps for Obama while dry humping the podium in front of kids at Church on Sunday morning.

    Would you like me to post the video of Obama's pastor dry humping the podium at church and accusing Bill Clinton of 'ridin dirty'?

    EDIT: Excuse me, you said you do not DISagree. Well neither do I. Very good.

    HO HO HO

    How holy. How can I hope to be so pious and full of love?

    You have to have a really unhealthy (or at least intellectually dishonest) mindset to make a statement like that and then hide behind it. That church must be chock full of really thick individuals all spreading the word.
