Update: Wright's sermons have been canceled. The pastor of the Florida church says he, not Wright and not Obama, is the one who canceled, and he did it because the Sheriff's office refused to provide security. The Sheriff's office says that is simply not true. Heh. Fox News is crushed.
Barack Obama's controversial Pastor Jeremiah Wright will deliver sermons in Florida for three nights, starting tonight, at a church in Tampa. The church is trying to ban cameras and recording devices. Good luck with that. "'There will be no photos and no interviews,' the church’s Web site notes." But there is no one who can part us from our phones.
While Obama continues his illiberal campaign strategy of entreating Republicans to register as Democrats for a Day, Fox News is intent on providing the world with round the clock coverage of all things related to Jeremiah Wright. Obama missed the Easter sermon by his new pastor. Fox News did not:
In a sunrise Easter sermon, Rev. Otis Moss III never mentioned Wright by name, but implied that his mentor, who has delivered sermons in which he likened the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan and declared it damned for its “state-sponsored terrorism,” is facing the same challenges Jesus did.
“No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching,” Moss said. “The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?” he continued.
And on a related note, after repeatedly dodging questions about the Jeremiah Wright controversy, Hillary Rodham Clinton finally broke her silence and responded to a question about what she would have done if she had been in Barack Obama's circumstances: "He would not have been my pastor. You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend."
"Pray tell it's going to be a long slog to November if every time Obama's pastor opens his mouth Fox News is there to pick apart every single word — which seems highly likely."
