A Washington, DC church receives threats following a Sean Hannity broadcast
Washington's Shiloh Baptist Church has received over 100 calls and faxes they deem as threats in just the past few days, following comments made by the church's pastor and after a visit to the church by President Obama and the First Lady. On his Fox News evening talk show, syndicated conservative radio host Sean Hannity played a tape of a speech Rev. Wallace Charles Smith gave at a school in Pennsylvania in January, and then asked, "of all the churches in the country that Obama finds himself sitting in, why is he always in pews listening to such controversial spiritual leaders?" In the speech, Rev. Smith was quoted as saying, "Now, Jim Crow wears blue pinstripes, goes to law school and carries fancy briefs in cases. And now, Jim Crow has become James Crow, esquire. And he doesn’t have to wear white robes anymore because now he can wear the protective cover of talk radio or can get a regular news program on Fox.” Hannity compared Rev. Smith to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Church representatives tell the Washington Post one fax they received "had the image of a monkey with a target across its face," and said they have yet to notify police. The Shiloh Baptist Church was founded by slaves in the 1860's and has hosted a number of Presidents, including Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
