Dr. James David Manning, pastor of ATLAH World Ministries, posted a video clip that was supposed to defend Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, but he turned it into a spewfest where he called Barack Obama’s mother “trash” and “dirt” and accused certain reporters’ children of committing bestiality. Did he miss the whole “do unto others” and “thou shalt not bear false witness” stuff in the Bible?

LW I didn’t think we had any more brothers like this right revern. Usually I’m against somebody jumping from behind a bush and doing a beat down on someone for no good reason. Usually I am!


that is INSANE!!! He’s relegating the entire Civil Rights era, and the honorable part some whites played in working to cross the lines of segregation, as the work of floozy, sleazy white women??? what??? omg, people are so strange. The pulpit gives rise to some weird stuff.


Yep, it’s crazy. This man makes Rev. Wright look like Shirley Temple.


From the other end of the spectrum Dr. Bryant doesn’t get everything right (like how to pronounce “Palin”), but you’ll get the gist.


This mental scumbag has had other videos out where he trashed Obama. You can’t take him seriously, you just wonder who in their right mind would attend this scumbag’s church. I really think he’s on the take for McCain. Somebody is paying him to get up in the pulpit every Sunday and trash Obama. sick, just downright sick….He hasn’t spent one honest minute, hour or day reading the God’s true word. Let’s not give into this anymore.


Amen, Lanier. I’d have to leave to keep from losing my religion right there in church and soon going stone stone cold ignant Negro on him right there in the pulpit.


I understand, Walt. I couldn’t even watch the whole clip at first because I felt like throwing my sister’s laptop against the wall after the first couple of minutes, and I don’t think she would like it if I broke her PC. 😛


He is a wingnut who has put out MANY wingnut videos.
