Lefties, what you need is a spokesperson who let's it all hang out!
No soft-pedaling!
And here she is now! UPenn professor Anthea Butler!
C'mon...give it up for "the But"
1. " ....Ivy League professor made headlines after penning a blog post saying the George Zimmerman verdict helps support the notion that the "American god" is a "white racist god."
2. ...Anthea Butler, an associate professor of Religious Studies and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania with a Ph.D. in religion from Vanderbilt and a Masters in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary, took to online magazine Religion Dispatches to discuss Zimmerman's acquittal.
3. ...referencing a book ... Is God a White Racist? by Rev. Dr. William R. Jones.....she says she now understands the meaning behind Jones' message.
4. "God aint good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, God is not for us. As a black woman in a nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a white man, and am not capable of taking care of my reproductive rights, or my voting rights, I know that this American god aint my god. As a matter of fact, I think hes a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men."
[Can that be shortened to a bumper-sticker?]
5. She noted how other conservative Christians in America might use such ideology as a defense, which could lead to the subjugation of others.
[OK...this could fit.}
6. "First of all they don't understand it's between small 'g' god and big 'G' God," Butler said of her critics during a phone conversation with The Huffington Post about the backlash. "Big 'G' God is the deity. Little 'g' is different kinds of gods. Anyone who reads Religion Dispatches knows this. ... But this was especially touchy for [conservative Christians] because I hit on some things that are kind of true.

[ g and G....She's got a point there....]
If you don't think she is well-rounded enough to be your point-man....point-woman....
here is more of "The But"....
...she speaks of evil as separate from God...and pretty darn articulate:

And.....if you doubt that she doesn't deserve the "Susan Rice" award:
"UPenn professor Anthea Butler calls for imprisonment of filmmaker Sam Bacile;
This morning, she strongly implied that Sam Bacile is responsible for yesterdays embassy attacks and, as a result, should be tossed into jail."

A lot easier to listen to than Sharpton!
MSNBC calling?
