Quantcast

An Olympic tribute with vague Christian overtones that puts Muslim terrorism in a bad light. Would this video have been banned by NBC from American television had George W Bush still been president?

No, it would not have.
Yes, it still would have.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.

I need thy presence every passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears not bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.



Who told NBC to remove this from the American television feed?

    NBC is the left's house organ. Who's president wouldn't have made a difference.

    It wasn't about politics. It was about ratings, and more importantly, what to cut so they could run commercials.

    It was a dumb move, but not a political move.

    What to cut? Zuggi, it was tape delayed for the American audience. Dude, you aren't with it tonight, are you?

    NBC's main concern is money.. You seriously think they thought "huh, I bet this will help the liberals in the election!"

    I wasn't thinking that at all. What are talking about?

    Then what were you thinking? "Skipping this will make everyone love Muslims?"

    What was the motive, in your opinion, of NBC skipping it?

    I'd buy 'dumb' if this was a stand-alone incident. When 'dumb' looks like a part of a greater plan, however, my bet's on politics.

    obama Georgetown

    Remember, this is the same Christian president that had the name of Christ covered so as not to offend the Muslims in the auditorium at Georgetown, the oldest Catholic university in the country.

    Put two and two together and this starts to make sense.

    If you're trying to convince me Obummer is a Muzzie Manchurian candidate, you're too late.

    What replaced it was a Ryan Seacrest interview with Michael Phelps right in the middle of the opening ceremonies.

    That's sure idiotic, but looks like bidness.
