Okay, so I'll confess that I was listening in to Rush Limbaugh today ... I do that from time to time for as long as I can stand it, just to see what the enemy camp is up to (trashing Barack, still harping on the pastor, and Rush's self-involved ego trip, bolstered by the lackey mainstream media, causing him to believe that he's actually single-handedly confounding the Democratic primary... and not much else)... and I caught this absolutely stunning piece of audio, courtesy of El Rushbo. The speaker is The Rev. Dr. James David Manning (somebody gave this guy a doctorate???) who leads a church in Harlem called ATLAH Worldwide, and who apparently believes that he is the only hope for the masses. (Watch him explain his dislike for Obama and his "jealousy over Black people."
He's actually a perfect foil for Rush, saying, with classic EIB hyperbole, that his flock's "salvation" is in his mouth..." He actually says during the sermon, "If I don't preach, you don't eat!" Seriously. Listen for yourself ... and dispair... (or click this link.)
Now this is NOT, and I repeat NOT, a Dave Chappelle parody. This is a real guy, calling Barack a "pimp who pimps white women and black women" and "trash," because he has a white mother. And the best part is, he's a Clinton supporter. He also told his parishioners, who have to be on mind altering drugs, that they are fools and ingrates for turning on the massa ... I mean the man ... who "gave them everything they have," including their houses and their jobs. Seriously. (Check out where he says "now this is not racist, y'all...") Watch for yourself:
Now I can actually understand a guy like Jeremiah Wright, living with the pain of segregation and denial all his growing up life, coming away with a cynical view of America. And while his comments -- which represented a very limited snippet of his actual sermons, of which we know absolutely NOTHING -- this Harlem guy sounds like an absolute kook, or a cult leader. We need to check his parishioners for Kool-Aid poisoning, stat.
