Obama Admin Anger Bear Quoted On Church Sign



The few words COS Rahm Emanuel knows that do not include profanity were placed on the message board of Judson Memorial Church, a temple for liberal satanists.

From NYT:

Rahm Emanuel, President Obama’s top lieutenant, will probably never be confused with Mother Teresa. So it was a surprise to see a quotation from him, with his name attached, printed on the message board outside a church in Manhattan, facing the street for passers-by to contemplate.

Never waste a crisis,” the sign says. “It can be turned to joyful transformation. — Rahm Emanuel.

The message hangs at the entryway of the Judson Memorial Church, a liberal, social-activist church in Greenwich Village. It’s the kind of “reader board” that other churches reserve for the title of a sermon or a quotation from the Prophets — an exceedingly unlikely place for the words of a profane Chicago pol, known more for his knee capping than knee bending. Moreover, the church defines itself as “in the Christian tradition” and is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches and United Church of Christ; Mr. Emanuel is Jewish.
