I regret to say you are mistaken. I went to the Church website. There one the Church's website is the Trumpet. Unfortunately one can't read the entire article without subscribing but it is there and clearly the Church and the Magazine are inseparable

From the Trumpet:

“When Minister Farrakhan speaks, Black America listens,” says
the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, likening the Minister’s influence to
the E. F. Hutton commercials of old. “Everybody may not agree with
him, but they listen…His depth on analysis when it comes to the
racial ills of this nation is astounding and eye opening. He brings a
perspective that is helpful and honest.
“Minister Farrakhan will be remembered as one of the 20th and
21st century giants of the African American religious experience,”
continues Wright. “His integrity and honesty have secured him a
place in history as one of the nation’s most powerful critics. His love
for Africa and African American people has made him an unforgettable
force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere
about his faith and his purpose.”

Obama is a candidate for president. You don't think he should be asked about the actions of his church?

Three who denounce the Jewish Lobby with little honesty. Three who blame Israel for everything while ignoring virtually all acts by the Palestinians and Arabs. Three who their groups of devotees.

The similarity between the far left and the far right is closer than either side wants to admit.

First I was involved with the site before either you or Golis. Second why should you be free to spout hatred unopposed? Just because the have a fan base here doesn't justify your bilge.

I have suggested to Andrew Golis that he invite someone else to write on Israel. Someone froma liberal rather than a far left position. His response was they would not change the editorial policy of this site and I should respond to you.

That your posts are often factually wanting and morally questionable seems to me evident. You have your groupies. Good for you. So do lots of haters.

That you allow this anti-Semitic garbage speaks very poorly of you. Shame of you and all associated with the bigotry you allow. You throw around words like "childish" without addressing the substance just as Rosenberg's post doesn't.

I under you are his protector. It reflects very very badly on you and the entire TPM operation.

You want bigotry to be accepted silently. Won happen. So you calm down or be at least more honest.

Ohiomeister like Rosenberg are big on personal attack but very short on on reality.

Your analogy is totally in apt. This isn't the Catholic Church. This is the church Obama attends. He isn't even being asked to denouced Farrahkan because he is Black. He is being asked about an action of his Church.

Rosenberg's point is Obama is Black and it is unacceptable to criticize Black people, even those running for President. This is racist, not Cohen.

Obama has support from a Gay Basher and said little. Now this. Obama's profile is increasingly that of cowardice. He is afraid of alienating the African-American community so he won't separate himself from the bigots who he is involved with.

Thats meant as a joke right? Rosenberg'is simiply bigoted in a way that is anti-truth, racist and anti-Semitic. That is reasoned and calm. Telling the truth does not seem to be a big priority for the left or the right. That is a very scary thought.

The issue is not repudiating Farrahkan but the action of the Church Obama attends. Doesn't one who is the candidate of the new politics, the candidate of hope who offers a new politics have an obligation to comment on the actions of his own Church?

Is that from the David Duke handbook or is it the Buchanan one. Rosenberg is the piedpiper of the anti-Semites of this site. One by one those who oppose him leave. I have given money to these sits and I will not be made silent by bigots whether Rosenberg, Golis or you.

More and more the Left is indistinguishable from the Right. Facts, the truth that we don't like denouce it, ignore it, be smug and santimonious about it. It is obvious that the Left will not tolerate any negative commnents about Obama.

What Cohen's column is really about, to suggest it is about Israel is embarrassing, Obama's cowardice. He associated himeself with a Gay Basher. Not a word from Obama. I just spoke to a friend close to the Gay Rights movment. To quote her the major Gay organizations have written off Obama.

Obama's Church has given an award to one of hte leading anti-Semites of the Black community.

Here is how the Trumpet talks of Farrahkan:

“When Minister Farrakhan speaks, Black America listens,” says
the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, likening the Minister’s influence to
the E. F. Hutton commercials of old. “Everybody may not agree with
him, but they listen…His depth on analysis when it comes to the
racial ills of this nation is astounding and eye opening. He brings a
perspective that is helpful and honest.
“Minister Farrakhan will be remembered as one of the 20th and
21st century giants of the African American religious experience,”
continues Wright. “His integrity and honesty have secured him a
place in history as one of the nation’s most powerful critics. His love
for Africa and African American people has made him an unforgettable
force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere
about his faith and his purpose.”

What has Obama said, not about Farrahkan, but the church he attends with a Pastor that is apparently Obama's spiritual advisor?

The racism of this and the fundamental totalitarian nauture of the reach to Cohen
s column is shameful.

Do you know of synagogues who have given awards to and praised racists? Would you continue to attend? Would you say noting?
