Let me start off this post by saying that if you have a problem with foul language that you should quit reading now. Having said that, I’m sure all members of Obama’s church can appreciate the foul-mouthed following.

Both Don Surber and Sweetness & Light are sitting in the pews this Sunday morning with Reverend Wright’s replacement. Seems Obama’s new spiritual selector needs one of Tipper Gore’s Parental Advisory Labels:

Watch ya effin’ mouth in Sunday school, mother effa’

The new pastor at Barack Obama’s church used his first Easter sermon on Sunday to compare controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to Jesus’ death at the hands of the Romans.

Sunday’s sunrise sermon, delivered by Rev. Otis Moss III, was called “How to Handle a Public Lynching” and focused primarily on the media firestorm that has focused international attention on this Chicago ministry, which is the church attended by the Democratic presidential candidate.

Moss did not directly mention his spiritual mentor by name, but implied to the congregation at Trinity United Church of Christ that Wright, who has delivered sermons in which he likened the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan and said it is damned for its state-sponsored terrorism, is facing the same challenges Jesus did.

“No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching. The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?” he said.

[...]

“If I was Ice Cube I’d say it a little differently — You picked the wrong folk to mess with,” Moss said to an enthusiastic congregation, standing up during much of the sermon.

Let’s set aside that laughable hyperbole about NPR being Rightwing Republican Radio for a moment. Or the blasphemy of comparing the bigoted Rev. Wright to Black Jesus on Easter.

It pounds funky ass bass lines to Barack Obama’s character that his church, who he has no intention of throwing under the bus like his white granny, considers NPR and CNN as being too far to the right for them. Or that what has happened to Wright constitutes a lynching. Whitey just ain’t forming posses like he used to.

But let’s check out his musical selection for a second.

He references the perpetually, forehead wrinkled Ice Cube as “you picked the wrong folk to mess with”. Of course Cube wasn’t speaking to the church. His particular phraseology was that “you picked the wrong n-word (sic) to eff (sic) wit“.

G*d damn, it’s a brand new payback
From the straight gangsta mack in straight gangsta black
How many m*th*rf*ck*rs gotta pay
Went to the shelf and dusted off the AK

Caps gotta get pealed
Cause “the n*gga ya love to hate still can “kill at will”

Lawdy, lawdy. Is this the Easter Sunday sermon Rev. Otis has been polishing like the chrome on his 20 inch spinners and the clip in his 9mm? But there’s more to that song reference that I’m sure both he and his predecessor would agree:

F*ck amerikkka, still with the triple k
Cause you know when my nine goes pop

It ends, somewhat expectedly, with a fantasy about copkilling and “kentucky fried crackers” but you get the point.

Meet the new Reverend. Same as the old Reverend.

Huh, An American Flag draped over a dead body with a toe tag that says “Uncle Sam” on it. Wonder if that’s the same thing as Granny worried about being clobbered over the head for loose change by a bum. A fear that typical white people have bred into them or so I’ve heard.

This must be some more of that “nuance” from The Greatest Speech In The History Of Speeches Ever that I missed.
