I haven't paid much attention to "Pastor Rick," having Dobson, Perkins, Ham, Robertson and other phony Lickspittles of the Lord to kick around. I think I should have been.
Link:
Wherein Warren encourages Christians to become as faithful as Hitler's Brown Shirts.
Link:
Fighting AIDS in Africa.
Link:
Antisemitic scumbaggery.
And so forth. While I still consider the Invocation a minor and vastly unimportant part of the coming Inauguration, I wish Obama had at least picked someone with a little integrity for the gig; Warren evidently has none.
Edit (again): Forgot one. Link Wrap-up plus a little more.

I'm convinced. This Theonazi is one of the worst choices possible for Obama's invocation. Even Fred Phelps would have been better, as he would have been booed off the podium, or lynched.
I hope the boos are long and loud for Warren, and that Obama learns from his ham-handed mistake that compromise with the radical portion of the opposition is impossible.

I think that the nomination of Rick Warren was Obama's first big PR mistake.
I'd be happy to see him back down and declare his change of mind. Not only because of Rick Warren but also because this ability to admit and correct mistake would be such a sharp contrast with the previous administration. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Rick Warren: a foul piece of work
