The Church of the Poison Mind Webcast
March 23rd, 2008 at 6:25 pm by BrianAll the jumping around and singing and a mere fraction of the cross-dressing Boy George.
I was going to liveblog the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s “He Is Risen – To Speechify Shortly Beyond Retirement” tour at Trinity but the current speaker has informed their audience that they are afraid you know who is watching *wink, wink* (translation: me) so they are dropping the live webcast.
Thus upholding Jesus’ longstanding opposition to sunlight and transparency. Praise his hieroglyphically encrypted name.
Amen.
Ok, they’re back.
They just had to “have a little family discussion” in private.
Two songs in and I think most people are here just to get a record deal and back-up singer work.
Currently up is Dr. James Forbes, Jr. guest-speechifying from the Riverside church in Harlem, NY. True to form, he has a show on Air America. His past guest list looks like a who’s who of traitors and anti-American activists. Shocking, yes, I know.
He says Rev. Wright is one of the most powerful preachers in the country. Beware his wrath.
Some crazy talk about “the knight season” because “knights are cowards” and travel in bunches??? I’m getting that the modern day church interlopers are “the knights” so they just need to be patient for the knights to leave so they can say what Jesus is afraid from them to say in front of the non-member.
“Have you ever been like the Vietnamese pilot and you land in the jungle and a kid runs up to a helicopter and he’s got something behind him so you shoot him and it’s 40 years later and you can’t get the blood out of your mind?” That’s as close as I can get to that quote correctly while live transcribing.
“Ever since 9/11, those of us in New York have been going through PSTD and on top of 9/11, weariness from the war – 5 years and into the 6th year – money, lives and god knows how many (we’ve killed) – that’s night. And everybody’s afraid of saying Re-re-re-re-re-er-recession – that’s night.”
“An exposure of moral turpitude in high places. And when disaster is followed by better days and better days are followed by worse days. He’s from New York and he’s just talking about his Governors.”
And Mother Nature is complaining about having been abused and when have you ever heard of a tornado in Atlanta? Child, when you pile up “rita?” And tornadoes and floods, no wonder, no wonder, no wonder the Lord in God’s majesty has arranged for Easter to come March 23 when the earliest it could come is the 22nd because – I want this to get out to the nation.
Reverend Metaphor is trying to get his “code message” about “the night” across but he’s getting a little strained and makes an odd reference to greedy capitalists getting by on cocaine.
This man is an entertainer who intentionally stutters and stammers for dramatic effect. Talking about nothing and hoping the audience is getting as riled by his feigned heavy breathing. Like he has to get a running start to tell the truth.
Whatever gets the rubes to shake the purses and checkbooks, I guess.
As he rounds up “The Hour of Power” he warns that God will punish the US for “staying in the night” by its imperialist ways.
And….and – it must be night time because the Coward Wright is a no show.

Talk about taking one for the team – I don’t know how you hold onto your cookies when you’re watching shit like this.

Today I am a liberal…
Now Brian misunderstands the Trinity UCC experience. First he has to understand that this church is there to contextualize the political landscape and to provide some comfort for those oppressed by white capitalism.

Hey Bri, you might want to start sleeping with one eye open. Just sayin’.

Before all this Barack and Rev. Wright mishegas, I was considering voting for Barack.
WAIT!!! Before you take away my Mary Matalin Junior G-Woman badge away, I was only “considering” the remote possibility of supporting Obama. But any hope I had of his being able to handle the office of president of these here’s Yoo-Nited States are about as viable as Rev. Wright’s chances of EVER pledging Phi Delt.
Great post; pithy and well written as always but it’s content it pissed me off all over again. Fills me with rage and abhorrence.
Well, gotta go. I need go hate me up some Inuits.
What pains in the ass! Those people give me Polaroids.

Laurie Kendrick doesn’t need to be filled with pissy rage. Laurie Kendrick needs a man with a slow hand.

Listen for the blowholes, Bmac, listen for the blowholes.

Well, that’s the kind of opinion that some might would think merit a lynching. Wait, will I get in trouble for using the verb “lynching”? Slide your noose over Bri, looks like you’ll have some company up in that there tree. Ah shit, I said “noose”. Guess the kids are coming with.

This post is mostly opinion free though. The overwhelming majority of it direct quotes.
However, it’s an excellent example of the phenomenon known as “character assassination by direct quote”.

Yea, but you’re not allowed to repeat it. Then it becomes “hate speech”.
