The produce manager at my grocery store is from Africa and you should hear what he says about Obama right while he's putting the oranges out. Makes me blush. Laugh too.

Nice Try....Race Baiter. How about reading the transcript of a Hannity Interview with pastor Manning.

Why don't you comment on what The Pastor said ? Because he's black? Hannity is not mentioned in his clip, so why bring a white guy into it? I get the feeling you don't like white people who disagree with Obama much. What's that all about?





SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Pastor, wait a minute, I've got to get in here. I don't support Barack Obama's views. There is no — Barack Obama is a human being. He is a human being. You're a Christian, and you're calling him trash. You're calling his mother - wait a minute, a whore.

MANNING: I never called her a whore. I never did that.

HANNITY: Wait a minute, you said whoring father. You called his father, you called his mother a trashy white woman. Pastor, this is unacceptable. You cannot — this is — We will never have people run

MANNING: Sean ...

HANNITY: ... for office if they're going to be treated like this ...

MANNING: I think. Listen Sean ...

HANNITY: ... This is not fair to Barack Obama.

MANNING: Sean, if people are going to run for office, we need to have the things that they do that are noble, that are good, that are virtuous and decent. We need to put those on the table.

HANNITY: Pastor, do you believe God make trashy children?

MANNING: Can I finish? Wouldn't you agree that if you put the noble things on the table, we also need to know about the non-noble things, the awful things that people do as well?

HANNITY: Pastor, do you believe God created all human beings?

MANNING: I absolutely do.

HANNITY: Do you believe that Jesus is your personal lord and savior.

MANNING: Oh, he is. No doubt about that.

HANNITY: OK. So then, if God created all human beings, how can you say any one human being is trash? How do you say that about a man and attack him and attack his family and attack his mother and attack his father and his children?

MANNING: He attacked his mother and father long before I did.

HANNITY: No. You did.

MANNING: He did. He lied when he said his father and his mother met in Selma. That's an attack upon his mother. He attacked his grandmother by saying that she's a typical white racist.

HANNITY: But pastor, pastor this is unacceptable.

MANNING: I mean, he has done far worse that I've done. I'm mild as to what Barack himself had done with his own family.

HANNITY: But how could you say this, if you believe God created all human beings, how could you, he's not responsible. I don't know anything about his mother and father.

MANNING: Listen, Sean. I mean.

HANNITY: Wait, wait but he's running for president, it's not his parents running for president. You're attacking his mother. You're attacking his father and you're saying he was born trash. I disagree with Barack Obama, but I think he's a good man who has — he's wrong on his views, but he has good intentions.

MANNING: I disagree with you on that. I disagree with you that he's a good man.

HANNITY: Oh, come on.

MANNING: I mean, I'm entitled to my opinion.

HANNITY: This is terrible.

MANNING: Have you ever known — is it possible for you to ever know a person who is a bad person that has been born in this world that's an evil person?

HANNITY: You said he was born trash. He's a human being, Pastor.

MANNING: Let's talk general now. Because you are speaking as if no one can possibly be born evil or trash.

HANNITY: You know, I don't think Barack Obama is evil. And I don't think he was born trash. He's a human being.

MANNING: Let's just let go of Barack for just a moment. Is it possible that any person can be born such?

HANNITY: You know something, I don't know the mind of - I don't know the mind of God, but I think.

MANNING: And neither do I.

HANNITY: And I'm in political disagreement with Barack Obama, he was not born trash, he's a human being, and he deserves to be treated better.

MANNING: Sean, if we're going to talk about Barack's policies, we also have to talk about his character. Character matters.

HANNITY: We're never going to have good people run for office.

MANNING: Yes, we will, oh yes we will. Yes we will. Because there will be people who do not have the kind of baggage that Barack has.

HANNITY: There is no ...

MANNING: You have people who have integrity and people who also have those things in their background like Governor Patterson, for instance, who once appointed —

HANNITY: But you're saying he was born trash.

MANNING: Like Governor Paterson for instance who was appointed governor and then confessed all of his bad stuff.

COLMES: All right.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HANNITY: Welcome back to "Hannity and Colmes." We continue now with the Reverend James David Manning. I guess I can't convince you that I find the rhetoric — it's just funny because I'm sitting here talking to you off the air, we talked in the green room, and there's a lot we agree on politically, we don't believe Barack Obama's story about Jeremiah Wright, would you say?

MANNING: Right.

HANNITY: What - I guess I'm having a hard time understanding is when you attack his — African in heat father who went after his whoring trashy white mother. And he was born trashy. I, for the life of me, find that language destructive. Can you explain to our audience, and I won't interrupt you. Explain why you used that.

MANNING: OK. I think what needs to happen in order to be able to understand the statements that I've made and the adjectives that I've used to described him, we need to look at this matter in the larger context. I see him as being a threat not only to America, that we should put the sovereign power of this nation into the hands of a man who I do not believe is a patriot. That's the first thing. But the other thing is that black people — for him he represents the worst possible person as a choice that they have made. Listen, would you agree that when black people en masse roll up and declare that William Jefferson Clinton was the first black president, and that there could no better black president better than him, that was an error, that that was an error in judgment? It was a wrong thing to do, it was a transference psychologically of black people.

HANNITY: We're short on time.

MANNING: Do you believe when Louis Farrakhan, when black folk run down to Washington?

HANNITY: I thought that was wrong, but there were people of all races there.

MANNING: Black people have consistently made the wrong choice in terms of their leader and Barack Hussein is the wrong choice.

HANNITY: Alright. Let me say this. Pastor, I agree. I don't, I have all fundamental political differences with Barack Obama, I think he would be bad for the country on national health care, on raising taxes, on the war in Iraq, and the battle on the war on terrorism, I think he's a bad choice, I think Hillary is a bad choice. My only disagreement with you is on the incendiary language that you're using, and by that I mean, you're attacking his mother, his father. You are saying that he was born trash. That's what I don't understand. You know something, fight him on the political issues, battle him, have a passionate debate, make your case but don't go personal to the point where I thinks his children hear this, his wife hears this. You know, I don't think this is good for the country to be debating.

MANNING: Do you know Prince Edward and Prince Harry, and we know who they are, and we also know who their parents are, and we extolled and exalt their parents, and then we make a relationship and a connection between their parents and them. Is that right.

You don't have to use up much energy searching the USA for men who call themselves Pastor, with or without a PhD, whose pastoral care in a medical context would seem more likely to induce a painful death rather than life. Manning is merely another fringe exhibit from the pulpit whose 'black exclusivism' is no more original than WEB Du Bois and as hostile to the 'assimilationists' of olde (Washington, NAACP and so on). This is a man who wants to re-define Harlem as an exclusive 'Black' city-within-the-city, presumably as a prelude to him re-defining himself, Marcus Garvey-like as the King of Africa, with Harlem the natural capital of this new Africa, but I shouldn't put words into the mouth of a man whose words are not worth repeating.

Why is this a thread? Because it helps smear the character of President Obama, and how pathetic is that?

There ya go mudding the water with facts again... It's all Bush's fault..

TY OMK for taking the bait as usual. Gotta love gullible guys such as yourself.

[onmyknees]

Well it could be that you're clever enough to set the trap through humor or satire, but none of your 5800 posts reveal you have that capability to date. In fact.....you're quick on the draw to throw the old ace in the hole....the race card. You do it with relative frequency, so either you've suddenly found race to be humorous, or you got caught being lazy and predictable and got your pee pee slapped. If your history wasn't what it is, I probably would have blown it off, but guys like you need to be confronted every time you play the race game. I actually understand why you do it....hell Eric Holder in seeking to explain all his difficulties dealt the same trump card from the bottom of the deck just yesterday. I guess that explains everything....we don't like him because he's black. See how easy it is ? Problem solved.

[Stavros]

The alternative tactic, onymyknees, would be to open a new thread: American Pastors -Don't y'all just luv'em? Then we can have the pastors who declared George W Bush to be the Anti-Christ, Pastors who want to burn the Qur'an, Pastors who think Barack Obama is a biscuit thats black on the outside, white on the inside (can't remember the name as we don't get'em where I live) and so on. After all, it is Politics AND Religion...and a Merry Christmas to you too!

OMK i'm glad that you have gone through and read all 5800 posts of mine. And lord knows it's a crime for me to mention your all might Sean Hannity. Though for the record Manning was not the preacher I was looking it was Jesse Lee Peterson:

I have to admit I've seen that guy on Hannity's show so many times I could play the guy on SNL hating on Jesse Jackson. A little shoe polish on the face with a Bible in my hand then push me out there.
