"God damn America!"—nuanced, yeah: like a punch in the nose!
When it comes to attempting to explain away the unexplainable, nothing's more hackneyed than claiming the offensive statement was "taken out of context."
To be sure, Jason Johnson trotted out that cliché while guest-hosting MSNBC's AM Joy Sunday morning in excusing Rev. Jeremiah Wright's infamous screaming "not God Bless America! God Damn America!"
But give Eddie Glaude credit. The Princeton prof and frequent MSNBC guest came up with a somewhat more original excuse: critics of Wright's damnation of America fail to understand the reverend's "theological nuance." Right. There's "nuance" in Wright saying "God damn America" is "in the Bible.

You deplorables are taking “God d-— America” out of context! You don’t understand the “nuance.”
Right. As nuanced as a punch in the nose.

Welcome to 1984..
Theological nuance my a$$. Pure hate!
I believe MSNBC and CNN have a contest to see who can go farthest left/say the most incorrigible things and get away with it.
If there’s nuance, then lets hear it... what is it??
Nope, standard ‘pull out the race card’ play. Shocking...
I have to look up the word “nuance” in my Newspeak Lexicon.
Funny how the only time demonicRATS are okay with mentioning God is when they want Him to damn America.
To answer RTNBC’s question the other day about whether or not Conservatives live in an alternate universe, there’s your answer. YES!
JOHNSON: No, it's a claxon [loud horn]. They're screaming. They're basically saying, he's black! He's black!
Uhhhhh...yyyeahhh...so is John James. He was the man Republicans voted for to run for Senator in Michigan. And demonicRATS in that election chose to not vote for him.
“He [Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock] attended Morehouse College, then the Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
There he earned advanced degrees and found a mentor in the Rev. Dr. James H. Cone, father of Black liberation theology ...”

Quote from James Cone, founder of “Black Liberation Theology”:
“Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal”.

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on “Hannity & Colmes:”
WRIGHT: If you’re not going to talk about theology in context, if you’re not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the ‘60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can’t talk about the black value system.
HANNITY: But I’m a — reverend
WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
by Fr. Robert Sirico - FrontPageMagazine.com | June 03, 2004
In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These “liberation theologians” saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers. ...”

The Black church and Marxism: what do they have to say to each other

From David Horowitz’s DiscoverTheNetworks org:
Profile: LIBERATION THEOLOGY
“...liberation theology’s real creator was the Soviet Union’s foreign intelligence and domestic security agency, the KGB.
Patriarch Kirill, who today heads Russian Orthodox Church, secretly worked for the KGB under the code name “Mikhailov” and spent some 40 years promoting liberation theology.
Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc official ever to defect to the West, writes: “Liberation theology has been generally understood to be a marriage of Marxism and Christianity.
What has not been understood is that it was not the product of Christians who pursued Communism, but of Communists who pursued Christians....
Its genesis was part of a highly classified Party/State Disinformation Program, formally approved in 1960 by KGB chairman Aleksandr Shelepin and Politburo member Aleksei Kirichenko, then the second in the party hierarchy after Nikita Khrushchev.”
Adds Pacepa: “In 1971, the KGB sent Kirill — who had just been elevated to the rank of archimandrite — to Geneva as emissary of the Russian Orthodox Church to the World Council of Churches.... Kirill/Mikhailov’s main task was to involve the WCC in spreading the new liberation theology throughout Latin America.
In 1975, the KGB was able to infiltrate Kirill into the Central Committee of the WCC — a position he held until he was “elected” patriarch of Russia, in 2009. ...”
Of course they do. It is neither an anomaly nor a scarcely held position.
He should have been immediately taken, put on a plane, and kicked off in some African hell hole with NO way to get back.
In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to “Black Liberation Theology”...
Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages.
However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of “salvation” in the afterlife is superseded by “liberation” on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia. ...”
