Trinity United Church of Christ Fights Back

According to an article by the associated press, the reverand at Barack Obama's church made the following statement during Easter services:
"Any time you go through a crucifixion experience … eventually they have to lift you up," said the Rev. Otis Moss III, who did not shy away from the controversy surrounding his predecessor at Trinity United Church of Christ, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.
I venture to say that I am not the only voter that believes that this church is doing Obama no favor by making an analogy of itself to Christ on the most holy of Christian holidays in the Church calendar. To call the criticisms of Rev. Wright a crucifixion is not only in bad taste, but is inflammatory.
Do you think that because Obama did not attend the Easter service that he does not have to respond to this controversy?

People still criticizing Obama on this stuff after his speech are the same people who would expect an American Indian running for President to denounce and reject Sitting Bull, Geronimo and Blackhawk.
The Bush family has gotten a pass with it's ties to Rev. Moon who believes he's the true Messiah and Jesus was a failure. It helps that Rev. Moon has lost $3 billion owning the Washington Times which is a GOP megaphone. Link.
I'd like to hear Hillary answer to her ties to "The Family" as reported by Mother Jones. It's an elitist Bible Group of mostly conservatives in D.C. such as Rick Santorum. Link
