Who's Scrubbing The Trinity United Church Of Christ Website?

Wait till we hear about Rev. Meek.

There's a link to the "Black Value System" at the bottome of the church's home page. Sean Hannity told the same lie, about Trinity "scrubbing" it's website, weeks ago.

Wright is just a slimey preacher.

End of story.

And he's the great mentor?

(1) This is old news.

(2) Tapper needs to stop being a conspiracy theorist.

Trinity's "Black Value System" was written and adopted in 1981 --- that's 27 years ago. No church can continue to thrive that does not, from time to time, update its statements of faith, values, and mission to reflect the current realities both of its membership and of the social, cultural, economic, and political environment in which it seeks to do its work.

My guess is that, by the time Trinity launched a Web site --- 10 years after 1981? 15 years? 20 years? --- the percentage of people in the church who believed that the Black Value System already had outlived its usefulness had increased considerably, even as those who were most heavily invested in the statement's original adoption --- presumably including Wright --- were determined to see it preserved and broadcast online.

More likely than that Trinity is engaged in some nefarious "scrubbing" project is that Wright's retirement has provided the church with an opportunity to retire the Black Value System as a guiding statement, and that the "United Church of Christ Statement of Faith in the form of a doxology" that now resides on the church's About Us page is a new statement that reflects the new leadership of the church's new pastor, Otis Moss.

"Reporters" like Tapper need to stop hunting for witches where they don't exist. This is "gotcha journalism," at its worst.

New minister, new website...

OLD WASHED UP McCaine looks better to me every day. We don't need to go as far as his professor ship to know he is a phony.

Who the hell cares? What does this have to do with politics? It has nothing to do win Obama, quit being Fox News.

And if I was being attacked by a bigoted and one-sided media I'd clam up too. Read this article, it says it all:

oh yeah what croonies all do for each other, they even will wipe out a whole website, the problem is we read that website from the Trinity church long ago, long before the Obamians kissed their leader's a................zz.

Hoover's contempt for King

On a story about King receiving the St. Francis peace medal from the Catholic Church, he wrote "this is disgusting." On the story "King, Pope to Talk on Race," he scribbled "astounding." On a story about King's meeting with the pope, "I am amazed that the Pope gave an audience to such a degenerate." On a story about King being the heavy favorite to win the Nobel Prize, he wrote "King could well qualify for the 'top alley cat' prize!"

When King learned he would be the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, the FBI decided to take its harassment of King one step further, sending him an insulting and threatening note anonymously. A draft was found in the FBI files years later. In it the FBI wrote, "You are a colossal fraud and an evil, vicious one at that." The letter went on to say, "The American public ... will know you for what you are -- an evil, abnormal beast," and "Satan could not do more."

The letter's threat was ominous, if not specific: "King you are done." Some have theorized the intent of the letter was to drive King to commit suicide in order to avoid personal embarrassment. "King, there is only one thing left for you to do," the letter concluded. "You know what it is ... You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation."

wright was RIGHT

When is Obama's book about how he and his supporters have acted during this election going to be released?
It is entitled "The Audacity of Audacity"

I KNOW IT'S MICHELLE LOL

Let's scrape some Collective mental offour Boots.
first this country was not founded 'exclusively' for Christians.
Consider Catholics had the most powerful Orgnaized relgion, In Second Place Protestants who follow the english Church, Nor those of th emuslim faith. these Relgions had Safe "Havens' fro their followers
Being from a Ancestory of Jacobites and Coventants- they were being slaughtered by these larger more Powerful Religious Orgnaizations (Flee or Die). So this country was founded on Relgious Freedom depends on the Religion you follow (some who came were the Oppressors)
The Reason for the mass Immigration to our Country was Economic Freedom from the shackles of the governing Bodies who included such doctrines in to their Decsion making Process. The people who made thoe journeys were looking for a Country where Labor and Philosophy were in each persons hands. Not the 'States' Nor the 'Ordained'. The chains which our forefathers risked theri lives to break free of are being once again Applied to our 'Great Experiement"- for the People and By the eople. That is what brought these Brave and Honorable people to become AmericaNs

WHY in the hell is a church website in the news???? WTF is going on? Clinton sits cozily with Doug Coe's extreme-right-wing cabal (hey folks - imagine Supreme Court appointments influenced by the Fellowship--that is to say, by the most extreme religious nuts of the GOP), while Rev. Wright is scrubbed harder than a goddamned candidate for President, Vice, Congress...This is asinine and pathetic. Pat Robertson and James Dobson and all the rest, meanwhile, are enjoying this horseshit.

once again, whtever the obama camp perceives as 'unflattering' to their 'messiah' goes WHOOSH! down the 'memory hole'

The debate over racism is carried on the backs of people with self motive - thus they fulfill their own prophecy.............

I can't believe Obama really thought he could get past the Repugs and racists , running as a post racial candidate, with this church in his recent history. Unlikely that Karl Rove wouldn't milk this for all it's worth?

Can this church , given it's own " Black Value System "which involves supporting the black community, the black family, black institutions.commitment to Africa , development of members skills to be made availalbe to the black community be construed by the general public as supporting all color of Americans?

What's more ,can these members really support Obama?.After all, this pledge involves allegience to black leadership who support the Black "Value System".B.O. just threw Rev W years of work under the bus , as well as Rev W's talking points.

And... he/his campaign deemed the Clinton's racist for using the word "black" and insulting him by mentioning an A.A. Civil Rights fighter, Jesse Jackson, Does this show allegience to the Black Value system?

Lets hear about the Clinton connection......google.rev.manning........youtube......rev.manning.............

I mean, who can blame them really? They've had an invasion of media camped on their doorstep/pulpit since these BS stories broke; everything about the church has been scrutinized and put under a microscope. Reverend Wright's new home site has been featured on evening gossip rag shows. I can imagine that they'd want to return to some semblance of normalcy for their congregation and if "scrubbing" their sites allows them to get a start then so be it. Separation between church and state.

Hey look ABC attacking Obama again over nothing, i willing to bet the Clinton campaign told them to push this out.

TUCC broadcasts from 7:30 to 8 every Sunday morning on TVone (channel 328 on DirecTV, channel 123 on DISH network). While I only started watching 2 weeks ago, they've had a promo for Trumpet at the end of the show both times.

And the page on the website is still up.
