*ESF* re: Antisemitic Minister?

Hey ESF,

I don't know if you saw my post below.  You mentioned something about Palin's minister making anti-semitic remarks.  Could you elaborate (with links if possible)?  I don't remember this being a topic on the board.

 Thanks...

And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

  • I will admit that I read these posts kind of fast so maybe I missed something.  Outside of the guest pastor and the Jews for Jesus collection while the guest pastor was speaking, which part was anti-semitic?  The witchcraft stuff was weird but I didn't get anti-semitism from that.

    It's high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity running the economics of our nations. That's what we are waiting for. That's part and parcel of transformation. If you look at the -- you know -- if you look at the Israelites, that's how they work. And that's how they are, even today.

    If you go to 1:20 into this Youtube, you will hear Muthee, who later anointed Palin, say the following words in Palin's presence:

    The second area whereby God wants us, wants to penetrate in our society is in the economic area. The Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. It's high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity running the economics of our nations. That's what we are waiting for.

    I am way late to this, but yes, this is the problematic piece.  He says this quote while blessing Palin for public service. 

    I just find it incredibly hypocritical of her to condemn Obama for sitting in Wright's church listening to occasional offensive remarks made about stuff generally, when a blessing designed especially for her is this hateful.  If she's going to criticize Obama, she should have to answer to why she let the minister bless her with such remarks.

    Ok, maybe I'm pretty dense, but I do not see an anti-semitic remark here.  Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly, but I take those remarks as a compliment to the Israelites.  It sounds to me like he's saying that the Israelites are men and women of integrity, no?
