Is "Reverend' Al a blasphemer?
He is supposed to be a reverend. That means he is supposed to uphold values of Christianity, such as love, forgiveness, redemption. Instead, "Reverend" Al and "Reverend" Jesse Jackson, the other blasphemer, set out on a mission to destroy a fool's livelihood and won. Yet the greasy headed blasphemer can call Jews "diamond merchants", among the other things he's done and not have to live up to the standards he set for everyone else that is not his skin color. Not only is it hypocritical, but outright blasphemy by someone sporting a fake reverend tag and throwing it up when it suits HIS needs. What do you think?

OH!!! Don't get me started. OK, well, to refer to these men as "Reverend" is blasphemous at its core!!! All they do is go around stirring the pot and wherever they can find one. All it is with them is "color" and how oppressed they are. It doesn't seem to me with their cars, clothes, homes that they are too oppressed. They call others whatever they want, but, when someone else goofs[ and apologizes] where is the forgiveness they are supposed to show. Not much Christian Values there. When you remember back Mr S. got people killed with his rants in NY several years ago, and what about Mr. JJ, what's up with his holier than thou attitude????? Doesn't he have a love child out there somewhere???
People just need to put these guys in their place and quit giving them the platforms to spew their filth.

I seen the place the team universal his apology and stated they have been interior the possibility of forgiving him. Get real. I watch this teach Lockup on MSNBC and that i've got seen a murdered ladies father and mom forgive and hug the guy who killed her. If nappy-headed-hoes is the worst element those ladies have heard than they have lived an extremely pampered and sheltered existence. i could desire to assert congratulations to Al Sharpton for figuring out to purchase this guy fired, I propose no one rioted or became into killed yet i assume it ought to nonetheless be referred to as a victory for him. All this did is create extra racism than there became into previously and whilst actually everyone calls Don Imus a old white guy, i've got faith it truly is extra derogatory than what he stated. I seen Whoopie Goldberg criticizing Don Imus, even nonetheless the reverends proved to truly everyone they hate Jews. properly that's how i think, sorry.

Hell, yes he's a blasphemer...and Jesse Jackson is too...They only talk when there is some political gain involved and when it is anything pointing out a white person saying anything negative about a black person...Slavery is over...They should stop pointing fingers at whites for everything, and look in the mirror once in a while...Racism goes both ways...They are racist because they somehow feel entitled because they are black, which other black people would admit is wrong...

I have seen nothing coming out of either of these two men that even speaks to them being Christians, let alone ministers of God.
Rev. Al falsely accused a DA of raping Tawana Brawley, he incited race riots which led to the deaths of innocent men.
Rev. Jesse blackmails corporations with threats of boycotts, he fathered a love-child out of wedlock while he was counseling Clinton on his own sexual addictions.
They are the worst race-pimps in America.
And yes, they are blasphemers. This is what it means to take the Lord's name in vain.

My father if he was alived would be appalled that a man would talk the way Don Imus did about women. He was Irish. He lost his father when he was only 13. His older brother was in the military. He had 3 younger brothers and he had to become the man of the house. His mother remarried and had 3 more children and after their father died he felt a responsibility toward them.
One time one of his younger brothers and I were talking about a woman and he said, "she sure is ugly." Later this uncle apologized and he said my Daddy taught him he was never to talk that way about a woman.
Now if Imus had talked that way about by little Daddy's mother or daughters, no way would his sense of moral ethics allow him to try to get him fired. He wouldn't even complain to management if he was treated shabbily by a store employee as he did not want to cause anyone to lose their job.
HOWEVER, being the Christian gentleman that he was, he would have put Don Imus on his backside.

Al Sharpton perpetuates racism more so than affirmative action did. Jesse sometimes seems to realize this, but he has been quite guilty of this in the past.

Sharpton and Jackson are the biggest hypocrite racists around. They both need to crawl back into which ever hole they crawled out of.

In my opinion, anyone who would wear the name "Reverend" is treading on dangerous ground and in danger of committing "presumptuous sins". (Psalm 19:3)
Jesus warned about giving religious titles to men. (Matt. 23:8-10)
The word "reverend" appears only one time in the Bible. Psalm 111:9, speaking of God, says, "reverend is his name".
Who would dare take a name that is attributed to God and give it to a man?
Be careful around anyone who would exalt themselves and who would try to assume a position of fame and "importance"!
"And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." (Matthew 23:12)
