You know, I have an ever diminishing amount of respect for the guys who run this place.

It diminishes every time Begala somehow manages to write a diary.

Seriously, whiskey tango foxtrot?

Get on the damned ball, Jerome.  This is negligence on your part at the very best.

Go away.

Trinity is a house of rage, not love, and racism, not reconciliation.

Please go to the south side of Chicago and ask the locals if that's true.

Make sure you ask some of the many, many people in the community who have been materially helped by TUCC and its radical mission of justice.

Hahaha. You know what. I think the Black Panthers and NOI need to step back up to the plate and show you what really scary is. The idea that if civil rights issues weren't resolved in a responsible and fair manner the militant groups would gain a head of steam was very effective back in the day.

Begala, you need to combine forces with Dogking and that other loon that keeps writing about fat people.  That way we can consolidate all of the posts in favor of banning you and your ilk in one diary.

how many licks of the racist tootsie pop does it take to get banned?

Apparently, a lot.

racism? What a joke.

Well since the diary is shit, maybe i can learn something here.  Does anyone know if Obama regularly attended this church?  I mean he was a member and had a relationship with Wright, but was he there every Sunday.

I kind of tend to doubt it given his religious background.  But if he wasn't there all that much, it would lend credibility to his statements that he hadn't heard anything like this.

No-Knead Bread

Adapted from Jim Lahey, Sullivan Street Bakery

Time: About 1½ hours plus 14 to 20 hours' rising

3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting
¼ teaspoon instant yeast
1¼ teaspoons salt
Cornmeal or wheat bran as needed.

1. In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add 1 5/8 cups water, and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees.

2. Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.

3. Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran or cornmeal. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours. When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger.

4. At least a half-hour before dough is ready, heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 6- to 8-quart heavy covered pot (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex or ceramic) in oven as it heats. When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that is O.K. Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully browned. Cool on a rack.

Yield: One 1½-pound loaf.

if you really are a HRC supporter - why not write a positive diary about her rather than this - um - poo?

has not been banned speaks volumes about this site.

But I find it hillarious that Christians these days can't get a break unless their religious leaders are bland, safe and unassuming.

It's just like I said after watching PastorDan's "interfaith service:" today mainstream Christianity, and the thousands of other faiths that are identical to mainstream Christianity, is just a big bloated corpse. And the Christian Nationalists are the maggots.

Time to set it on fire for the health of the public.

Please ban this fucking asshole.

to Todd.  But Obama supporters here is a place to run wild, post fail pics, kitty pics, or just freak out about the author since it is a freeper no harm, no foul.

You can wear it with pride here.

There is hate everywhere.  You think Obama's church is the only place that there has been some hate?  You must live a sheltered life.  Also, you should apologize to all the members of Trinity for saying they are racist and hate filled.  This would be the same as calling all the people who go to a catholic church whose minister was a pedophile a pervert.  You should apologize.

I had to do it, since the diary is obviously an invitation to make stuff up as we go along.

And the diarist is also Dick Cheney's long lost sister, or something to that effect.

Trolls rock, they make the day fun.

And by the way, "Begala, you look like a fetus!"

                              -SNL Hardball skit

when we can just ban these obvious GOP trollsters immediately.

Toss it in the "unread" box.

MICHEAL YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!! TRINITY IS FULL OF RACISTS AND BIGITS WHO HATE ALL WHITE PEOEPL!!!!!

THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS HERE ALL HAVE THERE HEADS IN THE SAND AND DONT KNOW THAT HE IS PORBABLY RACIST TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU SHOULD POST MORE DAIRIES SO EVERYONE CAN WAKE UP AND LEARN THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how you suck, begalia....let me count the ways

Psst, get the rest of your hate diaries out now cause after Tuesday you will be getting the banhammer.

getting cure of his idiocy:

Go somewhere else to stump for John McCain you fuck-wit.

**You are ONE HATEFUL, and poor, writer.

We would all love to show you how much we appreciate your diaries.  Their content is so... compelling.  Your research and analysis deserves recognition for its quality.

Pay no attention to StudentGuy pigeonholing you into some pejoritavely-named category of poster.  Your level of discourse deserves appreciation from the site administrators themselves.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder if the sane people at this site need to start rec'ing garbage like this.  Maybe if the entire rec list was filled with racist, hate-filled rants (instead of the occasional 1 or 2) it would force people to re-evaluate the content that is representing this site.

This type of crap is disgusting.

Pfleger is not Trinity's pastor - never was.
