Gez, Im sure your parents are proud. I hope you're the only child your parents had. Please, oh black Jesus, tell me that this douche bag has no siblings.

If you still have nuts; cut them off now and save future generations of watered down spineless children.

"We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there. But Coretta knew, and we know, there are weapons of mass deception right down here." Rev. Lowery at Coretta Scott King;s funeral.

[Gordanfriend]

I completely agree with you, man. Lowery is great and definititely not a rasist. It's seems to me too that Barack is indeed a genious.

[thenotic1]

Please don't let the negative comments affect you. I was there, and it was beautiful to see the diverse people who supported change. Lowery is not racist, most of the White people who support Obama and/or Black People are NOT nerdy, and there are a multitude of people with more knowledge than the ignorant to where the ignorant will not prevail.

[KMancha]

you did your research on Lowery? You didnt notice that he is a racist? I dont know if you saw the benediction, but I'm afraid that you are so in love with Obama that you must have missed his closing. Youre "white" soon youll get it "right". Like people of color are oppressed!? We already have thet affirmative action crap! What more can there be? I dont owe people of color anything just because one of my distant ancestors may have had a slave!

[hebrewhammershabbat]

You're taking that WAAAY too seriously. It was a rhyme, it was a joke, besides what else rhymes with white? When white flies a kite? Also, you don't understand how a black person who has seen his friends killed and beaten, and has been treated like an animal, might be a little bit skeptical of white people(which rev. Lowery isn't). You don't see how a holocaust survivor may be skeptical of germans? Stuff like that is traumatizing, and its easy for you to call them racists, have some empathy.

[KMancha]

Well, if it was a joke then he should have saved it for a more appropriate venue. Lowery was invited to give a benediction, not to do stand-up. In my expirience a benediction is typicaly a prayer. That was NO prayer. As far as blacks being skeptical of whites because they have expirienced racial violence, thats absurd! unless they have been living under a rock since the 60's they should have no reason to fear white. And by the way, racism goes both ways. So, if you fear white go back to Africa.

[Albanianwarrior23]

i can't help but say that most black ass kissers are white nerds who never been around blacks,,,,,,,can anyone imagin this guy hanging out with blacks hahahah...

he looks like a freaking nerd with thick glassed........yeah man u so kool whity ahahahahah

[flooziegirl]

you, Albanianwarrior23, CLEARLY are one of the most ignorant, racist people I have EVER seen on youtube. clearly, you have are a hater or probably not just african-americans but of probably any race that is not white. go get yourself and education. you actually judge people for their thick rimmed glasses? you are dispicable. go read a book.

[Albanianwarrior23]

you ever notice self haitn whites, look so freaking dumb with thick ass glasses...

this guy couldn't get a girl if he's life depended on it, no wonder he kisses black asssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssss...

[Albanianwarrior23]

[fyrace123]

DREAM ON! Lowrey is a loser

[cewljeef]

Your a mother fucker.

[Twinkler01]

Amen Brother!

[wdcrow10]

Well, sir he took us right back to Selma the way he ended his prayer. And as far as a prayer it wasn't a prayer it was a speech.

[judithhansen]

You sure came out right on this one. Lowery was the star.

Great.

[orlandodolphin]

LMAO Joseph Lowery sure did swell compared to Rick Warren. Brown stick around? Yellow stay mellow? Ya genius compared to Warren's prayer.May the white get it right? Didn't they vote in a black president. You sir are a true idiot.

[bronco30248]

you are not very bright are you??? seek help!!!

[nunca789]

Blogger Interrupted stated: "Reverend Joseph Lowery is likely to make Rick Warren regret that he accepted the invitation." One needs only watch the 56 second clip of Lowery, and regardless of Lowery's past involvement in civil rights, the inaugural invocation was a lame recitation of race-conflict rhetoric we've all heard a thousand times. Agree with him or not, Rick Warren's presentation was dignified and uplifting. Lowery's was basically his retelling of a tired joke. What an embarrassment.

[bearguySF]

Here's how I see it on Inaug. day:

Warren gets drowned out by boos & is BO is embarassed.

Lowery gets up & people are on their feet, cheering and clapping for 5 full minutes.

====

Side note - one thing we hated about BUSH was his refusal to admit he made a mistake.

If BO would admit the Inaug. isn't the place for a bigot, he'd be fine. Right now, BO stinks.

[A1Googler]

I think thats stupid logic. While I dont agree with BO on Warren, BO make honestly feel it wasnt a mistake. And if u allow this one decision to ruin your support of his, then you're an idiot.

[Betamax00]

No. YOU want Obama to be embarrased. I can't stand Warren myself. But he chose Lowrey to give the "final word". Just because you want it to fail because you feel Warren should not be there does not = embarassment. Wow, I'm so glad you hold the intergalatic-crystal ball to know what will be exactly be said and done on inauguration day.

[A1Googler]

You know, you make damn good sense. Maybe it is a good thing Lowery comes after Warren. Lowery is bound to make Warren look like the divisive bigot Warren is.

[illusidat]

Amen! Joseph Lowery supported Obama from the beginning and is a perfect person to close out the ceremony. He is inclusive and bound to represent us all

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

I wrote to Rick Warren at his psuedo-church and told him to please stay away, no one in the gay community wants to hear from him, especially during Obama's Inagural ceremony.

[d2tminc]

Ban them all anyone that's not perfect.Why are people trying to dictate religion again? At the end only that person will have to answer to there God. What happened to freedom and not taking that away from anyone.Obama will be the president of all Americans skin heads,gays,Christians,Muslims,­and Buddhist etc.Just may be on that day if we could show the World what it means to truly see each other as Americans/Humans and taste the Dream. Be proud to live in a Nation were we can Dream and be Free.

[wayindie]

i completely agree!

just because RW is giving the invocation doesn't mean you have to agree with his doctrine. it shows openness.

i'm a gun toting liberal-breaking the mold. we need to be more tolerant of other opinions/lifestyles/beliefs. being extreme right or left doesn't allow for being open minded.

bravo Barack! i'm agnostic & firmly believe in keeping religion out of govt but am ok w/RW delivering the invocation. it's just like any other speech/appearance, just surface nothing more!

[VirgilB01]

Tell that to the thousands of gays/lesbians in Calif. Who hate RW because of Prop.8 and now feel that Obama has turned his back on them by getting this clown to speak at his ignauguation.Well.. this man wasn't "Open-minded" when it came to Prop. 8 vote. when he tells the media otherwise. So what do you feel being "Agnostic" when people's civil rights are being violated? Or is that only for keeping religion out of Government.

[wayindie]

i do sympathize with the LGBT community & support them & believe that they deserve the same rights as everyone else.

i'm agnostic so i'm not a religious freak opposed to them & don't want religion involved w/politics. but just because RW is delivering a speech doesn't mean Barack is offering him a cabinet position.

He hasn't minced his words on his stance on Gay issues either. Progress is made when you get people together that don't agree.

extremists seek to divide.

[VirgilB01]

The "extremists" that you speak of could be some in the LGBT community. Remember..Prop 8 doe not want to take all their rights.. Just preventing them from redefining "marraige" Even though the gays have civil unions for a substitute, this is still not good enough for them. Obama is not offering this man a position on his team, he only wants to show his voters how he could come "together" with people he doesn't fully agree with.

[crimsong19]

Wow! I didn't know that much about Lowery. Thanks! Bringing a major historic figure to speak at his inauguration is brilliant!

[imtang0708]

Never trust a religious man!!!!

[dralavant]

the good thing is that it's only an inauguration.

[drl15son]

Joseph Lowery and Rick Warren are both one in the same. They are false preachers! You non-believers call anyone who leads some religious group a 'man-of-God.' Most of these clowns don't believe the whole Bible. They don't teach the full counsel of God. They take Scripture out of context and get away with it because you don't read the Bible and can't understand it because of your unbelief in the true living God. These fake Christians are hell bound and taking you with them.

[katalina2007]

Well, the Barack Obama Inauguration will be "interesting to watch"--to say the least!

[AgainstAllGods]

Tim, at the last part when you say that Barack is a "genius", you sound like you're being sarcastic. Or are you really serious?

[bloggerinterrupted]

i can be so elusive, can't i! it's pretty evident in my blog post that i'm being serious.......

[AgainstAllGods]

Might want to work on that voice inflection champ.

[vital427]

I hope you're right.
