Rev. Caldwell's Homophobic Mission Statement Disappears

"Barack Obama being endorsed by one of George W. Bush's spiritual advisers wasn't exactly news to me. I wasn't even going to post on it, especially since Obama isn't exactly running as a devout Democrat. Besides, regardless of Obama's endless talk, he doesn't have any problem whatsoever in embracing homophobics. Donnie McClurkin was exhibit A.

But this latest development is very interesting. Now Rev. Caldwell's ministry, after he endorsed Obama, has nuked the page everyone was linking to yesterday that outlines his church's mission statement, which trumpets homosexuality as something a person "seeking freedom" from "habitual sins" should seek out.

Thank heavens for Google cache:

Metanoia Ministry

We are pleased to announce the creation of “ The Way, The Truth and The Life”, a program created to provide Christ Centered instruction for those seeking freedom from homosexuality, lesbianism, prostitution, sex addiction and other habitual sins.

But the original page is now gone. Poof! Call rewrite - stat.

This is what Obama and his campaign does repeatedly. Hide the record in order to prop up his propaganda. Lucky for them the national press seems to be sleeping through it all.

Matt Stoller has more."

Oh wait, no it's not... :puke:

will be voting "present" on the issue of the "ex-gay" movement.

I will follow suit by voting "present" if he's the nominee.

but they HOPE it will all just go away




(don't forget to rec for exposure)

One that they want to hide. If he was a real man, he'd call out these fuckers and tell them they are bigots.

Google cache would have kept Trotsky in all those group photos Stalin had him airbrushed out of.

the hypocrite. What is so surprising about what he has done? This is Obama as usual. He is as much a machine candidate, embracing the negative campaigning, as any smear merchant.

The fact that he is attempting to santize the negatives in "real time" so to speak, is a testament to the Blogosphere, which helps to hold him accountable for the fickle fanatics of his with a short memory.

I thought that was a college cheer for the University of Alabama.

Just a typical hyperbolic Obamaton.....

Unbelieveable.

Now they'll just pretend it was never there.

And this place lists several chruches "which help to heal those wounded with broken sexuality." Including METANOIA MINISTRY:

Amazing. Don't they see how hurtful those words are?

They think they are doing God's work.....that's what makes them scary.

the page came down after the call from Obama campaign headquarters.

if the M$M picks it up. As an Edwards supporter, I'm sure the silence will be deafening. It would work against the agenda.

ROFL, expect more "off with her head" posts after this!

Where can I go for help if I'm struggling?

We provide this list of black churches to first of all celebrate and applaud their faith in action works which help to heal those wounded with broken sexuality. As we become aware of more churches which are stepping out with real ministry, we'll list them here. If you are in these local areas and need help or someone to talk to or attend a church where "dealing with homosexuality" is more than just a Sunday sermon blurb, we strongly encourage you to get up and put your faith into action. If you know of a predominately black church of any size providing overcoming ministry please contact us for listing here.

I guess Obama was telling the truth for a change. Only problem is he wasn't so clear as to what change he was talking about!

Strange the Obama supporters fallen silent

Damn and now I have to clean it up.

How DARE she!
:sarcasm:

Is he using this covertly to get votes in the south with the AA anti homosexual vote, if thats the case, I want his ass dragged through the myre for it.

this is shocking.

all the homophobes.

It's a miracle. Rejoice!

Nice Trojan horse move there, Metanoia Ministries.

At least gay people have the courage of their convictions; Pastor Caldwell certainly doesn't.

This Caldwell thing is going down like a sack of shit with the gay community. After the reagan thing, this is bad for him.

because COGNITIVE DISSONANCE hurts their throbbing heads as more of his TALK doesn't reflect in ACTIONS.

The marshmallow candidate and his form over substance strikes again!!!!

I've already emailed the Human Rights Campaign about it.

This will get bigger. Count on it.

facetious :sarcasm: don't read it if you're thinking I'm implying this occurred! (cough cough)





webmaster - "Reverend Caldwell, we have BIG news, are you sitting down, your highness?"

rev caldwell - "speak to me"

webmaster - "well Sir, it appears your Mission Statement, you know, the one that goes into detail about why we're out recruiting those little queers for Jesus to get them cleansed of their filth?"

rev caldwell - "um... oh, that thing, yeah, what about it?"

webmaster - "well Sir, we haven't had a hit on that page since George Bush visited it in 2000, but yesterday we received thousands and thousands of visits to it in one day, and most of the people are coming from a subversive website called 'democratunderground' or such, what should we do?"

rev caldwell - "I better get Obama on the line. I'll be back in touch later"

---

O - "Hello?"

rev caldwell - "Senator Obama, we've got a problem with Metanoia"

O - "what's going on? don't tell me you got caught with one of the boys?"

rev caldwell - "oh no sir, no sir!"

O - "Then what is it? Did Sen. Graham finally seek your help like I told him to?"

rev caldwell - "No, unfortunately, not yet. Senator, it seems some queer-loving website called democratunderground is keen to our Metanoia outreach to the queer crowd and has attacked it 5000 times, or something"

O - "yes, we're aware. our operatives at that site our trying to put out the fire, but until the end of the campaign I'd appreciate you removing it."

rev caldwell - "well, George was the last one to see it anyhow"

O - "obviously"

rev caldwell - "alright, color it done! you just let me know when you need to rally up some more of GAWD's people's votes, I'll be there preaching on that stage!"

One less piece of hate speech on the internet. Good for Obama if he made this happen.

They're still involved with their abusive "ex-gay" stuff.

But they remove any references on their website.

Hatemongering, cowardly shits.

positions and beliefs a the doors of all of his rally's.

This has nothing to do with checking beliefs before entering a rally:dunce:

Wouldn't you be outraged if a Democratic candidate was campaigning with white supremacists?

If you think this is all about nothing, review this thread:

Statement from Caldwell: "Metanoia Ministries is not an active ministry of my church. It was run by an outside group and I was not aware that it was still linked to my website. Neither Senator Obama nor his staff knew of this outside ministry, nor have they expressed any agreement with my church's beliefs on gay rights. I support Senator Obama because of his ability to bring Americans together, not because of our agreement or disagreement on any one issue."

Ooooh! Conspiracy!!!

:eyes:

And it turns out that Caldwell isn't going to be doing anything with the Obama campaign.
