Yeah, except one exists and the other doesn't. I checked.

 

Why are you referring to a post i've done couple of days ago. I was talking about Black/White and everything else that had to do with it and that was a different discussion. I dont know why you even mentioned what i've said in another conversation. It has nothing to do with what I feel toward Islam, which my previous post was about.

 

:lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2: I didn't SAY there was a youtube clip.... I just assumed there was one.

I don't remember which newsprogram I was watching, or whether it was last night or the night before.... but, I SAW this "choir" and heard them singing the song God DON'T bless America! With my OWN eyes and ears!

I don't make chit up, Rev! Look a little harder! :hellno:

 

Same thread though. Same conversation.

So now it's gone from the Republican wing of Congress (or some group like that) to just being a choir?

Just as I challenged GMAN to prove his claim that Obama said he was a Muslim (which he couldn't), I challenge you to prove your claim. I searched that exact phrase. It brought up 3 results, none of which was what you were talking about.

The proof is on you. You made the claim.

 

I've had the same problem finding it. Part of the problem is that I had the T.V. on but wasn't really watching it. Playing on CAD, I believe. Anyway, I heard them singing, and/or some reference to it first, looked up and saw what looked like some people in choir robes, and then the whole thing was over. Don't even remember which channel it was on. But, it was clear from what I DID hear, that this was some kind of response by SOME Republicans to Obama's presidency.

It may take a day or two to show up somewhere. Maybe it never will. Like MOST republican crap lately, it wasn't worth the time it took to spew it out..... EXCEPT to me, because of the HYPOCRISY it represented! :lol2:

BTW.... I heard the same clip GMAN is referring to. I don't think he is quoting it just right, but I believe Obama DID make reference once to having been raised for a time as a Muslim. THEN, he converted to Christianity. Of course, as you said.... media clips DO EXIST of it, cuz that's where I saw it, too.

Local choir gets Web attention

Church group's song alluding to abortion, U.S. sin emerges on YouTube and blogs.

Comment: What do you think of the change in lyrics?

Video: Watch and listen to the choir sing

The money still says, "In God We Trust."
But if you ask one Springfield church choir, why should He still trust us — or even bless us?

The Grand Avenue Church of God choir has had a song called "Why Should God Bless America?" in its repertoire for more than a decade.
The song is a rewrite of Irving Berlin's classic, "God Bless America."
But this week, with the choir's performance of the song in Florida at a Republican presidential debate, it officially entered the viral video age.
It turned up on YouTube and also surfaced in the blogosphere, prompting both praise and criticism.
"Most people don't know about us," explained head choir director Melanie Clark. "We're just a little congregation in Springfield, Ohio."
A little congregation — but with a mighty big message.
The song opens with the lines, "Why should God bless America? She's forgotten he exists."
References to prayer being taken out of schools and abortion ensue.
Clark said she imagines the song could be controversial.
"But those who are concerned about family values and moral values appreciate it," she said. "We didn't mean to cause any problem."
The event Monday in Fort Lauderdale was a Values Voters debate. According to ValuesVoters.com, the group is made of "voters that believe in American values." Seven of 11 GOP candidates attended, but frontrunners weren't present.
The Church of God choir was invited to perform by Janet Folger, president of the group Faith2Action.
The former legislative director of Ohio Right to Life, Folger first saw the group perform in 1996 at a pro-life rally at the then-Springfield Inn.
While not an original song, Folger thinks "everybody should hear" it, according to Clark.
"People just love it," Clark said. "We just keep getting requests for it."

 

If that is indeed it, that's quite a stretch.

 

"But this week, with the choir's performance of the song in Florida at a Republican presidential debate, it officially entered the viral video age.

I think this is what GH was referring to. He heard "Republican" and went on a :ranting:...

 

I'm sure, but it's still a stretch to compare the two.

It is a stretch. And to paint every Republican with the same brush is about the same as painting all Muslims as Bin Laden followers, or all Jews as thieves or...you get the picture.

Until people stop pointing fingers they will never be able to join hands and work together for change. Just sayin...
