OK, now from reading “The Queen’s” comment:

He and his wife knew or had reason to know that people (especially the MEDIA) would attribute the act to “racism.”

I think “hate” is based on hate, as in race bias, crime. So, if you are stating it as just “hate” without the race bias, then I agree.

If you are stating, as “The Queen” is stating that is is race bias, then I disagree.

If that sermon wasn’t crafted to falsely create a hate-driven bogeyman, I’ll eat my hat.

The fake hate I’m referring to is that directed at some of his flock.

Why would the pastor tell his people not to talk to the authorities?

Do you see it as him slandering some of his people for “spreading gossip” and “telling lies”?

I’m sure there’ll be more to come, even if the MSM doesn’t do it, I think Joel, Jade and others will soon get the rest of the story out.

The information in the article doesn’t support the claim.

When people faked burnings before, they were very fast to claim a hate crime. Not only that, no word about racist graffitti.

As for the fake hate, it there in black and white and waiting to be read by the hate-crime advocates:
“During services Sunday, which were held at another church, Hunter had urged parishioners not to talk to the police, saying authorities were looking for suspects and some church members were “spreading gossip” and “telling lies.” ”

Translation: Don’t talk to the Man. The Man is looking to hang somebody and we’s got some Uncle Toms/Aunt Jemimahs here amongst us.

Moral: Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. And God don’t need no help rebuilding his house.

Went to your site. No thanks, I don’t need any State Farm Insurance.

You are right, logical argumentation has no place in blogging…

And yes, I am as confrontational in real life, particularly when it comes to irrational post with no basis in fact. Hint.

LB, you have not established a reason why the church was burned down.

It is established that they wanted a new building. The insurance money would provide some funds. Additionally, when something “bad” happens to a church, the church members tend to step up in giving to the chuch. This could have been an attempt by the pastor to get members to give money for the building.

For the “Black churches burning” blip a few years ago, many of the churches burned, that wasn’t race based, was because of insurance reasons. If I remember correctly, most fires of non-residence buildings are arson. Of those, most are believed to be insurance related.

I’ll concede your point if you can show where the pastor blamed whites for burning down the church.

Darn those Patriots, they had it on lock down!
