I just saw the story on HLN. The do quick stories so it was nothing in depth or with commentary. Just the story.

It's 2011. Why did the church even have this ban in the first place? The only reason why they overturned it was because of all the bad press they got. They are just a bunch of hate mongers and are no different from fred phelps, jerry fallwell or westboro baptist church.

I am just taking a shot here. The ban was brought up by the former pastor. Knowing church politics like I do, I can see a church division with the majority going with the old pastor, the old pastor and some of his supporters being run off and a new vote occuring.

If you can't see it, I can't help you.
Here ya go anyway....
The media was all real quick to pick up on the story when they appeared to be racist. Now only one network ran the decision to lift the ban...hmmmmm, I find it pretty interesting and pretty telling.

No matter what side of the fence your are on the first rule of journalism is controversy sells. So that is why everyone picked up on this story. Second this church is a spirit of racism and the only reason why it reversed it's stance was because all the negative press was hurting it's bottom line. At this point no one cares if they reverse their decision or not.

His point is that Fox News' agenda is to make Christian churches look good. And oh yes, they look real good in this story. Almost as good as the guy who used to be a thief, or the guy who used to beat his kids until they got big enough to hit back. Choice of metaphors extremely deliberate.
