I’m trying to figure out if the offer was made before or after Barack’s invitation. It would be interesting to see if the church made their decision soley on they fact Barack decided to give the pastor the invitation first.</p> <p>Second, why the hell does Ebenezer reach out to Southen Baptists instead of them proving they believe in civil rights and show actually some common ground before giving another significant platform.</p> I can’t seem to find the timing for the selection of Rick Warren at Ebenezer.

He’s thoroughly anti-gay and hates women (supposedly spousal abuse is no grounds for divorce). To be blunt, this “pastor” is a professional homophobe and misogynist (sp?). Why does he get a presidential platform?</p> I’m amazed that the Team Obama didn’t thoroughly vet this twerp.
