The ever-voluble, chatty, cheeky, pugnacious, churlish, country-music-lovin,' foot-stompin,' baccalaureate in the arts (B.A. only and nothing more), half-read, half-literate, noisy and ever-confident Irishman, Sean Hannity, is reporting that Obama “bribed” his former Pastor, the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah, with $150,000 to keep silent during the Presidential campaign.
We routinely patrol the Irish enthusiast’s program, a service of vetting that is needed in/for the media, as well as theological arenas. RA does not easily abide half-literates easily. Yet, Sean has surfaced an interesting--perhaps, an important--story.
Sean is a blue-collar loud-mouth who entertains “political
enthusiasts” (like the MSN"BS" exhorters and like other bucolic, religious “revivalists”). Further, we dislike the “shout-overs” and “shout-outs”
on his unscholarly program of loud-mouths.
Where are the scholarly footnotes?
Yet, this Irish Romanist and enthusiast, this blue collar fella, of few notable attainments, other than
entertainment on TV and radio, has raised
some good issues about Obama and his black Pastor, Dr. Wright, another infamous
loudmouth who exclaimed “God damned America” in a sermon following 9/11. Are we "elites" at Reformation Anglicanism? Indeed, we are. We are educated. We insist on it. We do so when visiting a Physican, flying on a jet, or taking a course in history at college. We insist upon vetting media (and theological) elites. We've earned that right and we insist on it.
Here’s a brief roundup. The story is developing.
So, what are the facts? Was there a $150,000 payoff?

With all due respect, what part of what Sean Hannity said about Obama and Wright 4 years ago was wrong? He was warning America how radical and Marxist Obama was - and 3.5 years of tearing apart this country, it's people, buisnesses, military, and Christian Churches is proof of a failed President.
