The Easter sermon yesterday outside of Chicago with the new pastor of Barack Obama's church was a defiant message. It was -- of course this is probably exactly what you had in your church service, how to handle a public lynching. No, it was, you know, roll away the rock and -- oh, no, that wasn't mentioned. Well, they did kind of mention Jesus. They kind of -- in a way I think they were calling Jeremiah Wright another guy like Jesus that, you know, is being crucified and lynched by the media. In fact, here's just a couple of from Reverend Otis Moss, III. He is the new pastor at Obama's church. He said the lynching was national news. The RNN -- I would imagine that's CNN, the Roman News Network was reporting it and NPR, the National Public Radio had it on the radio. Then the Jerusalem Post and the Palestinian Times all wanted exclusives. They searched out the young minister, 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 continued. He said, "You've picked the wrong folk to mess with." This was a sermon called how to handle a public lynching.

By the way, Obama and his family were celebrating Easter elsewhere. They weren't at services. They have -- by the way, the church, Obama's church, has also moved its once prominent section on its website about the black values system, they've moved that now but it still describes itself as unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian. Boy, can you imagine if your church declared itself unashamedly white and then you coupled it with unapologetically Christian? Can you imagine if you coupled those two things together? I wonder if, what did he call it, RNN would cover that story. You're damn right they would. They would be all over that story. But that's -- and then Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie, the first female bishop in the church, also delivered a sermon in which she talked about visionaries like Martin Luther King, Gandhi and Jeremiah. We're not sure if she was referring to Jeremiah Wright or maybe another Jeremiah, we're not sure, but she argued that the words weren't about anger but a passion that demands confrontation. Now, that's good politically correct speech, huh? That's -- no, that's good spin doctoring there.

what a wonderful easter message
