The news media goes on and on about Obama’s crazy preacher.  So why is this video not being shown? 

People talk about the “liberal” press but in reality that is a sham.  The news media is overwhelmingly conservative.

Hagee, Parsley, Sharpton, Wright, and the lot of them have proven to me they are in the entertainment business more than espousing the word of god.

Benny Hinn is fabulously wealthy and does not hide the fact he likes to live in luxury and yes it is all about the money.

My personal religion is the Margaritaville type with Jimmy Buffet as my personal communicator with god.  He makes more sense than the rest of them.

I hope the IRS sees it my way.

• “The fact that fanatic Christian Zionists such as John Hajee and Rod Parseley are sought for endorsement by people like McCain, running for the highest office, is indeed the most troubling signs of what is wrong with America.”

Fadel,

It IS troubling, because of the fact that they have so many flippin’ supporters that buy into this nonsense. Think about just that couple of minute clip, and put it in a totally different environment.

If I said stuff like that, say standing on the street, they would have me in an emergency psych ward in less than the time it took him to say this stuff. And, if I was walking along and heard somebody shouting this crazy stuff on the street, I’d have them enroute to the same facility.

But, these guys spew their hate from a pulpit, dressed up in business suits, and the stuff is transmitted through any and all airwaves available. How are they different from the propaganda machines of former Fascist and Totalitarian Regimes? I would submit that they ARE NOT! This is just more state sponsored propaganda, through state a state sponsored propaganda machine that is our media. It is not the least bit different than Hitler, or Stalin, or any other Fascist entity. If it wasn’t the media wouldn’t be blasting these people over all of the airwaves, and we wouldn’t have somebody running for the highest office in the land, actually soliciting these wild and crazy hate mongers!

I contend, (as I have many times before) that we have become normalized to the Fascism that took over our country in the final Coup that put them in power in September 2000. So now, instead of these people being either jailed or permanently committed to facilities for the insane, we have presidential candidates actually courting them.

These guys are TERRORISTS, and we’ve got this so-called American Patriot, American War Hero, long time member of the US Congress, candidate for the highest office in the land, actually introducing these guys, and calling them LEADERS! If that isn’t the most insane thing that one could ever have conceived of, then I don’t know what is!! And yes, I have a pretty damn good imagination, because my life experiences have put me in touch with just about ALL of it. Now these are some seriously dangerous people, certainly not any LESS dangerous than the sliver of dangerous fanaticism on the fringe of Islam, (Western dialect refers to them as the Wahhabists) and there are a hell of a lot MORE of these crazos than there are of the Wahhbist extremists of Islam.

How much farther down in the rabbit hole does the American population have to fall? Of course it’s SAD. It’s beyond SAD. If this many Americans were afflicted with cancer or some other deadly disease, we’d know it was an EPIDEMIC!! How exactly do we ignore THIS as anything more than the same?

What is it going to take for Americans to ‘get’ that we are in deeper shit than we’ve ever been in, if they can ignore such incredibly blatant signs?

This is terrorism, and a sign that terror has now become the law. Instead of a team shipping John McCain off to some facility (with heavy duty security so that he can never escape) this insane dude is actually running for President.

Can’t tell ME America hasn’t fallen completely into the rabbit hole.

Re: Spiritual Guide Comment by Rus7355

Your comment attempts to minimize and rationalize what Senator McCain is actually doing. In the video clip, Senator McCain describes Parsley to we the people, as being one of our truly great leaders in America . . . a moral compass . . . a spiritual guide.” The problem is the Parsley is none of these things.

Rob Parsley is a man who promotes hatred and intolerance toward his fellow citizens, including civil libertarians who advocate the separation of church and state. He is a man who distorts the founding principles of America; He is a man who promotes religious “Holy Wars” against other nations;” He is a man who claims special powers, peddles cheap “Miracle Prayer Cloths” to the sick and tells religious assemblies “I am superior to the forces of darkness.”

As a U.S. Senator, John McCain has certain civic responsibilities, which include upholding our basic founding principles, demonstrating respect for religious freedom in America, and promoting good citizenry at all times. To bestow this kind public praise on an individual like Parsley is careless, irresponsible and opportunistic.

If you think Parsley is bad google ‘John Hagee on youtube.’ Hagee is McCain’s other spiritual mentor.

All religions are a danger to mankind not soley the United States. Wake up, there is no god or gods. Once that can be realized then the shroud of lies will fall and young people of all nations will not be turned into cannon fodder at the whim of the elite in their quest for power. How many Pat Tillmans are out there? Willing to give up this life with the knowledge there is no next.

The more I see McCain, hear his views on economics, the war, and social issues, the more I am convinced that he is ignorant about a lot of things. In fact, I wonder if his intelligence registers any higher than George W. Bush.

How can you explain his associating himself with 2 ministers with such hate-mongering views unless its an ignorance about what they stand for.

The danger of McCain is a bit different than Bush. McCain is fond of the maverick image and buys votes by having convinced the public he is a moverick while the media perpetuates that fraud. Bush with Rove’s help embellished the image of “everyman.”

Both actually support the same wornout neocon ideas.

If you want Bush III, vote for McCain. That should pretty well finish off our country.

With men like Parsley in the pulpit, it’s no wonder the number of “hate groups” in the U.S. have increased this past year. 

I mean what kind of preacher tells his congregation “we get off on war”? He’s certainly not the kind that should be praised, revered and sought out by a U.S. Senator. Parsley’s kind of “moral compass” belongs more on the FBI or law enforcement’s “watch list” of hate groups – next to the skinheads etc.

And one would think McCain would be a little nervous about the fact that Parsley’s Center for Moral Clarity also called for prosecuting people who commit adultery. I mean what if Parsley’s views became law and McCain’s own spiritual advisor prosecuted him retroactively?
