It's OK If Republicans Do It.

Radical Right-Wing televangelist John Hagee, the Texas megachurch pastor has kept a fairly low profile these days.

But yesterday he couldn't keep his hate speech to himself.

Quote:

On his radio show yesterday, right-wing talker Dennis Prager asked Hagee to respond to “the various charges made against him” in a fact sheet put out by the Democratic National Committee. Asked about his comments on Hurricane Katrina, Hagee said “the topic of that day was cursing and blessing”:

HAGEE: Yes. The topic of that day was cursing and blessing. … What happened in New Orleans looked like the curse of God, in time if New Orleans recovers and becomes the pristine city it can become it may in time be called a blessing. But at this time it’s called a curse.

Prager followed up by asking if all natural disasters are a result of “the divine hand” and if there is “any natural disaster that is not the result of sin?” Hagee responded by saying “it’s a result of God’s permissible will” and “that there was going to be a massive homosexual rally there the following Monday,” which he said “was sin”:

PRAGER: Right, but in the case, did NPR get, is this quote correct though that in the case of New Orleans you do feel it was sin?

HAGEE: In the case of New Orleans, their plan to have that homosexual rally was sin. But it never happened. The rally never happened.

PRAGER: No, I understand.

HAGEE: It was scheduled that Monday.

PRAGER: No, I’m only trying to understand that in the case of New Orleans, you do feel that God’s hand was in it because of a sinful city?

HAGEE: That it was a city that was planning a sinful conduct, yes.

I suspect the notion that a deadly, devastating hurricane was the result of divine intervention and God’s “judgment” is the kind of thing most Americans would find kind of hateful to wish upon fellow Americans.

Atrios says: “God Damns America … and it’s okay as long as conservatives think so.”

Hagee believes that God, quite literally, damned America, and sent a hurricane to destroy a city. How is this different from Wright’s sermon?

It isn’t.

Let's me put up Wright's sermon excerpt out here for everyone to put into perspective.

Quote:

“And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent, she failed. She put them on reservations.”

“When it came to putting her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in interment prison camps.”

“When it came to putting the citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains. The government put them on slave quarters. Put them on auction blocks. Put them in cotton fields. Put them in inferior schools. Put them in substandard housing. Put them scientific experiments. Put them in the lower paying jobs. Put them outside the equal protection of the law. Kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education, and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness.”

“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike law and then wants us to sing God Bless America. Naw, naw, naw. Not God Bless America. God Damn America! That’s in the Bible. For killing innocent people. God Damn America for treating us citizens as less than human. God Damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and she is Supreme.”

and after seeing the verdict in NYC today - how can anyone wonder why some people would say "GOD Damn America" ??? What are people supposed to think when time and again we allow police officers to slaughter unarmed men and suffer no punishment ?

lol.............. Now God is acting like bush n' cheney....

He is acting preemptively. He allowed those idiots to build the levee that failed..........

SO when they were set to have their meetings in town God could have it fail to kill & destroy all those non-homosexuals......

"the sin" never had a chance.................

Making their god in their own image never looked so good..........

Or fucking stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

I recall (although I don't recall where in the book) a story about Jesus talking to some fool & he asks him about things like this. "acts of God". SO called.......

Jesus asks him if he heard of the unlucky man some tower fell on & if he was the biggest sinner in all Israel........

It was summoned up something to the effect that shit happens. cause it happens or as in this case man created it/cause it to happen........

haggies god like that of eman is much more like dick cheney then Jesus..........

I would of asked mr Armageddon if your god hates them thar homosexuals so much why didn't he flood San Francisco???

I would then ask mr Armageddon if his god hates them so much why didn't he make it a commandment??? Now @ this point assuming I do not have to fight off an attack I would mention he qualifies for one of those commandments about gluttony .....

Fat rednecked bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
