If there was one thing the 2008 election taught us, it’s that African-American politicians no longer need to court fire-breathing black pastors to get elected. Now, thanks to Barack Obama, Reverend Jeremiah Wright is quite possibly one of the most powerless black liberation theologists in the country! And this is why it was very, very important for nearly 20 brave Georgians to protest him when he came to Macon to deliver a sermon.
“He’s harvesting souls for hate. Hate is not of the Lord,” 940-AM morning talk show host Chris Krok shouted through a bullhorn.
On his program, Krok has blasted Wright for some of the preacher’s remarks, which came to light during the past presidential campaign.
[...] Janis Horne, a Macon woman who was the first to arrive for Krok’s protest, said she “felt good” about the event.
“We did it because we are Christians,” she said. “And Christians have stood down too long. … I was hoping for hundreds.”
Wright was talking about, let’s see, “Jesus healing a blind beggar on his way to Jericho,” which sounds troublingly racist, anti-American, and radical to us.

Hey, it’s Macon. He doesn’t need to breathe fire for them to protest, just be black. Breathing fire merely adds icing to the cake, in a sense.
I didn’t think he was going to do moon river.
I must fire off a vehement letter to The 11th Hour immediately!
Fucking Christians. Everything they get involve with is because they think “they have been standing down for too long,” like their goddamn Jeebus or something.
The persecution is over (has been since the 4th century), people. Party on, lambs of gawd er whatever.
“Christians have stood down too long.”
It’s true, you know. If the past millennia or two have shown us anything, it’s that krischuns have had an incredibly hard go of it. Hurray for the 20 Macon freedom protesters and their trukknutz!!1!
“That’s right, we’re Christians”, she went on to say, “and it’s our God-given duty to spread the hate.”
yay! TWO days of Campbell! I know I join all Wonketeers in saying; “thanks for the holiday gift!”
I note for the record, though, that it took less than 5 minutes for the blogoshpere to photoshop Sarah Palin’s head onto a nude pic…so I can’t see why the delay with Campbell.
Fuck the blind beggars, they’ll steal our JERBS.
She’s right. Christians have stood down for too long. They need more God warriors to combat all the dark-sided gargyles, stars, and slagkicks that are taking over the world!!!

(seriously, i never get sick of this clip)
I think they’re just mad that someone is cutting in on their racket. Georgia is a crazy white preacher state, he needs to be taught that lesson…a dozen people at a time.

Chris Krok. That’s just about perfect, I’d say.
My favorite neo-Christian principle of all: Humility is for pussies. That’s right Georgia, as Jesus always said, he who yells loudest wins.
I’m sure it made them feel good, and that is what really counts, doesn’t it?
How can anyone even take sides in this debate? It’s like Lyndon LaRouche vs. Ron Paul. Or Sylvia Browne vs. John Edward. Or Michael Savage vs. Glenn Beck. I just hope neither side wins, because neither of these yokels should be getting any stronger.
They heal one of yours, you protest a crowd of theirs. It’s the Georgia way.
Wookies: or like Crystal Pepsi and Tab Clear
Middle Georgia is a place where grown men call another man “Saxby.” Their repressed gayness makes them do weird things.
God bless Georgia? No! God DAMN Georgia!
[re=199831]Deepthroat[/re]: T-Rex vs. Giant Pteranodon? One is tempted to think of the various religious sects as dinosaurs these days.
I call bullshit. This is Georgia, people. Where the white sheets at?
“And Christians have stood down too long.”
So true. Christians haven’t risen up and slaughtered heretics since the 1990s.
Hey, we’re Christians, and Christianity is all about hating people, even other Christians.
Sure, they can talk, but are they really saying anything? No, I don’t think so.
dear Wonkette overlords, please post something solely about the campbell brown ad so that we don’t have to insert comments about it in every other post you grace us with. thank you.
More unemployed Christians means more idle hands to spread the faith.
Bacon? sweet…oh…nevermind
[re=199855]grendel[/re]: Sunnis vs. Shiites.
[re=199859]space stout[/re]: But it’s all about ‘hits.’ You guys are raising my Q ratings, or whatever the online equivalent is. Every time you invoke my name. It’s how web ads work, silly.
Campbell Brown. Campbell Brown. Campbell Brown.
Weeknights on CNN 8pm.
Two dozen!? Wow, that’s almost enough to play a baseball game for peace!
[re=199789]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Not being able to subject everyone to their religion, all the time = persecution.
We worship the giant Campbell here at Wonkette, and we have stood down too long in the fight against bias and bull, so we totally get where you’re coming from.
It’s just that most Christians are retarded? The only time Jesus ever kicked some ass was when people were making money from religion. What a fuckin hippie.
If I hear one more Christian say one more word about how disenfranchised they are in this country, I’m going to go ninja Jesus on their ass.
Georgia, one of the few places where stating that blacks in the U.S. historically got some pretty bad treatment is “controversial”.
Ugh. I’m so ashamed to admit Macon is where I was born and bred. I fucking loathe being a Georgian.
I just don’t get all this black envy. Wright, Jackson, Keyes. Our Barry’s just not black enough. Even after the “terrorist fist jab” thingy. What’s a brother got to do these days?
I’d have liked to see Reverend Wright throw his shoes at this 20-headed hydra.
I keep clicking Giant Campbell’s nipples and I’m still not getting anywhere. She’s just like a real woman!!1!
[re=199802]Deepthroat[/re]: That woman ate Stephen King and regurgiated all of Carrie’s mom’s lines.
Now she’s wearing “Edit profile or logout” as a moustache.
Crazy ass ole Rev Wright forgot
that the role of the black preacher
is to fleece the flock, anoint
harmless white liberal politicians, and
enjoy the sweet pussy of that big-
legged sistuh who sits up front
every sunday — and stay the hell
out of the “damnation business” —
because if you take THAT seriously,
you can’t really enjoy that big
legged sistuh’s coochie — and who
in the hell want to give THAT up
for notoriety?
What’s up with this Jesus character healing some blind, poor guy? Doesn’t he realise that people are poor because they choose to be poor? Healing the blind and sick upsets the natural balance of thigs. What is he, some sorta Communist?
[re=199785]dannygutters[/re]: But then Bam! second encore!
