>>ABC identified 12 sermons of hate.<<

Quehebo -

I see. Twelve sermons. In 36 years of preaching?

Is it just me, or does that seem like a very small percentage of the total number of sermons? Even assuming they missed some? Let's see. 36 x 50 (the man must take vacations) would be 1,800.

To me, that makes it seem as though the black and white congregants of the church who say that his message is overwhelmingly one of love and hope may be telling the truth.

And then there's the question of whether what he's preaching can properly be called hate, and not just anger.

I note that the post 9/11 sermon, when you watch the longer version that is available on YouTube with the title that begins "Fox lies!", you discover that it's message is not really hateful at all.
