Fox News: The place for hate and violence.... |

Shiloh Baptist Church receives threats after comments from Sean HannityShiloh Baptist Church in the District said it has received threatening phone calls and e-mails after an Easter visit from President Obama and a conservative television commentator’s subsequent playing of a videotape in which the pastor said that those espousing racial prejudice do so “under the protective cover of talk radio.”
The Rev. Wallace Charles Smith said the church has received more than 100 threats since Fox News channel’s Sean Hannity aired a tape Monday of a speech Smith gave in January 2010 at Eastern University in Saint Davids, Pa.
“We received a fax that had the image of a monkey with a target across is face,” Smith said. “My secretary has received telephone calls that have been so vulgar until she has had to hang up.”
Smith, who shared several of the e-mails with The Post, said he had not notified authorities but is consulting with church leaders about what to do.
On Sunday, Obama and the first family visited the church, founded in the 1860s by former slaves. On Monday, Hannity aired a clip of a speech Smith gave when he served as president of Palmer Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.~snip~ http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/shiloh-baptist-church-receives-threats-after-comments-from-sean-hannity/2011/04/27/AFLSKi5E_story.html
