C.B. Scott on Obama, Osama, and Wade Burleson

[Mark]

It's been interesting to follow the ongoing debate within the Baptist blog world as to whether or what, if anything, C.B. Scott actually said or implied re: Obama being a terrorist, or even synonymous with Osama bin Laden, mostly because of Obama's alleged views on abortion. C.B. has now written a couple of new blog entries in response to all of it:

Here's Wade's blog entry which fueled the original debate:

Gettin the word out about this; we'll see where it goes.

Just got a kind email from Dr. Killian about his election.

He was wondering if I got the word out about him being formidable, a consensus candidate and him being unopposed.

I do what I can

I don't know that much of anything can be generalized from C. B. Scott's opinion. He has a blog. He has strident opinions. He posts them. Everyone can read them. It says nothing much at all other than there are active bloggers who swap this stuff back and forth. Like his views or not, CBS is the real item with respect to protection of the unborn. I can't find his posts but I think he has practiced what he preaches on this.

Folks have opinions...big deal.

Well, I am not convinced that "abortion is our national sin"; if I were so convinced, I might find it easier to swallow the leaps of logic and of judgment that CB Scott practices. That he does so while asserting that Wade Burleson and his other like-minded critics must not have a third-grade reading comprehension level suggests that he is simply given to hyperbole, a very biblical, prophetic sort of thing to be given to (can we say "brood of vipers"?) but one that needs to be taken with a block of salt by those striving for conversation.

Scott's blog comments are pretty thick with a fan of Wade Burleson, a Debbie Kaufmann taking Scott to task pretty strongly supporting Burleson.
Scott became so flustered he deleted one of Kaufmann's comments.

It is pretty interesting. Would be interesting to see how Richard Land and Timothy George would navigate such a hardline view.

Musings on the topic: Oldad has always been suspicious of any self-appointed leader (religious, political, secular, whatever) whose agenda is based on a solid, one-way, narrow, take-no-prisoners, arbitrary commitment to a single absolute. (This suspicion makes me wary of many-a preacher.)

Single absolute examples: abortion, monotheism (a true God defies being enumerated by us'ns){the Trinity?}, One road to salvation (to hell with all others), teetotalism, to name a few. Add more at your own peril (from the naysayers).

To all naysayers, Beware. This is all in the area of IMO. Your O may differ, but be prepared to both admit to its origins and defend its acceptability.

Wonder how effective C.B. Scott's INSULT & REPENT strategy has been?

I bet he's changed the hearts and minds of dozens with his verbal attacks.

[Stephen Fox]

This could be the next test for CB Scott with the Obama administration, as his influence through Bob Cleveland and former Alabma SBC prez Buddy Gray rises.

have taken up the abortion cause in the comment line of my BJU blog.

I'm calling in Rick Lance and Bob Terry to referee.

The 2nd Buchanan, the former Alabama US congressman, was defeated by one term Congressman Albert Lee Smith, the bane of James Dunn on the BJC.
I saw Buchanan the first year I moved to Bama at BCOC where Sarah Shelton is now Pastor. Then Pastor whose name I will remember shortly is now pastor at the Historic Baptist Congregation in Providence Rhode Island.

CB Scott carries the flag of Albert Lee Smith.

Let's hope Rick Lance and Bob Terry will show their colors on the CB Scott matter soon; and wouldn't hurt for Charles Marsh's lifelong friend and Bush judicial nominee to distinguish himself from CB Scott as well.
Charles Pickering, the SBC Peace Committee Member.

Put CB Scott and Timothy George on the margins where they belong with their abortion wedge politics chocked full of mendacity.

Only because it obviously would be a huge waste of time. I see the point yet, for reasons that remain obscure, can't resist. Romans 7:21.

His ansolute certainty that he knows the mind of God touching minutiae like whether God was involved in setting up particular seminaries certainly makes me leery of him, and would even if I agreed with more of his ("God's") opinions.
