We'll see how well it's received

With Friday's striking down of NC Amendment One, there was a lot of joy and celebration here in Asheville. There were also a few soreheads in the local newspaper's comment threads, trying to piss in the soup of our victory. It's been difficult not to respond in kind, but this may get the message across.

The ultimate "preacher soundbite"

In case the talk-show folks could use a break between replays of the Rev. Wright sound bites, I have a suggestion. Let's find them another preacher, give 'em one sound bite from him, and let the wingers go after his followers too.

Ready? Okay, this sound bite has a preacher yelling that God has abandoned him. What kind of preacher would say that? Doesn't he have any faith? Who could follow such a faithless preacher, or listen to anything else he said? His followers better start lining up to "reject and denounce"... there, I guess that's enough of a lather.

The sound bite is Matthew 27:46, the preacher is Jesus, and the quote is "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" There: one sound bite to capture and define an entire ministry! Seems like the talk show folks would be duty-bound to expose this "faithless" preacher, and his followers, with the same energy they're going after Wright and Obama...
