Rev. Hate Isn’t Coming To SC
PALMETTO SCOOP: CONTROVERSIAL PASTOR COULD BE CANCELLING AIKEN VISIT
FITSNews – May 8, 2008 – The racist controversial former pastor to Barack Obama, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, was set to visit Aiken, S.C. next week, however, Adam Fogle at the Palmetto Scoop is reporting that security concerns may cancel the trip.
“[Fogle] spoke with a source who said that, although Wright has been here before, the trip may have been called off for security reasons. The source could not go into further details other than to say, ‘nothing is set in stone yet.’”
The visit was scheduled to take place at Second Baptist Church, according to the Aiken Standard. Wright is not new to South Carolinians, he’s made several trips to the church in the past, according to WRDW-TV in Augusta, which initially broke the story.
Hmmm … security concerns? Really? Here’s a guy who praises Louis Farrakhan, claims the U.S. government is responsible for the AIDS virus, preaches “God Damn America” from the pulpit, and there are security concerns? In South Carolina?
Seriously people, our only surprise is that this guy isn’t dead already.

yes his comments are outrageous, and rediculous - specifically the AIDS bit, but have you at least put the “God Damn America” into context? Have you listened to the entire sermon. If you had you’d realize that he was preaching on Psalm 137 amongst other passages from the Old Testament.
I’m a honkey from a little town in the Pee Dee where it’s still acceptable for whites to call blacks N*ggers to their faces, where if you’re in an interracial couple your daddy might just whoop your ass, let alone you’ll hear how wrong it is from the pulpit on Sunday morning. Lets not forget we live in a state that in the spirit of “compromise” celebrates MLKJr Day so long as at the same time we celebrate Confederate Memorial Day as a Holiday (this friday) and have removed “The Flag” from the dome and put it right in the face of our black citizenry as we (white folk of the State of South Carolina) watch them scurry to their low wage jobs everyday and remind the handful that happen to make it to the State House because of our preffered “districting” of their places and lot in SC, and we (white people in the State of South Carolina) have the nerve to insinuate, call, and imply that this man - a member of the civil rights movement who marched and bled for rights that we (the white community of South Carolina) take for granted - a racists. It only hints of irony. Don’t you think?
