McCain’s “Spiritual Guide”: America Founded To Destroy Islam
Rod Parsley was referred to by John McCain as his “spiritual guide” at a February 26 rally in Cincinnati. In his 2005 book, Silent No More Parsley says:
-
“America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed.”
-
“It was to defeat Islam, among other dreams, that Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492″
-
“Allah was a demon spirit.”
-
“Are we a Christian nation? I say yes.”
His Center For Moral Clarity promotes treating adultery as a felony.
Since adultery is a felony in Michigan, the act of having sex outside marriage could put illicit couples behind bars. Perhaps court systems across the nation should treat adultery for what it truly is: lying, cheating and stealing.
And here’s what he says about gays:
“I lift my voice against the agenda of America’s tortured and angry homosexual population. In essence the Supreme Court on June 26, 2003, legalized the perverted act of sodomy…This is about the destruction of the very covenant…They are intending to pervert God’s original intention.”

Oh my God (no pun intended). Why hasn’t the mainstream media picked up on this? They’ve been showing Reverend Wright all day, so why not show this? Thank you for posting this Alan. I really hope you can show this on your show tonight. This needs to be seen. I wonder if there are any other videos where he speaks out against Islam and other issues as was mentioned above.
Of course both of these religious leaders are making me sick. One is no better than the other. Dueling preachers. I suppose one cancels out the other. It’s not good either way.
I really do long for Martin Luther King and Billy Graham. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.

Did Mc cains SA tell him to sing bomb bomb bomb Iran or tell I E D jokes on late night TV?
But seriously he wants to become president…give me a break

Well, if I can borrow a bit from Lewis Black, maybe Parley is one of these advisers, who, whatever he says, you do the opposite.

DOUBLE STANDARD!
I hate the fact that Foxnews and rightwing talk radio put a spotlight on Barack Obama’s pastor yet they ignore McCain’s spiritual guide!
Incredible!
Im sick of this crap!
Hannity, you have sunk to a new low!

“Hannity, you have sunk to a new low!”
Yes, but there is always tomorrow; where he can try to get even lower.
I have every confidence that he’ll make it, too!

I don’t hear any of these pastors,saying the Lords name in vain over and over again. I have listen to this Pastor and John Hagee. This Obama pastor is a hate munger,and teaches hate. And yes I don’t want any muslim terriost destroying our Country. And if you all really want to get right down to the nitty gritty,the Indians own all this land. Remerber white man took it away from them. They live on very poor reservations,and they also fight for this country. You all turn my stomach.

I FEAR MOST AMERICANS WILL BE MORE INCENSED BY WRIGHT’s REMARKS THAN PARSLEY.

“Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme…”
An old classic song by Simon and Garfunkel about four extremely controversial preachers.
I’m sorry. I just had to.

Parsley committed blasphemy. He said that God is an evil spirit. Allah is God. Shaitan (Iblis) is Satan. Adam (Man) was made out of clay. Satan hated man. Satan tells God (Allah), “why should I bowed down to him. He was made out of clay. I am made out of fire.” Satan thought he was far better than man. He wanted all the angels to bow down to him, not to Adam. Allah kicked Satan and his followers out of heaven because he refused to obey Allah and bow down to man.
If Allah is the Devil as Parsley claimed, why would Allah kick the Devil out of Paradise (Jannah) or heaven? Would He be kicking Himself out? Is he saying that the Devil casted out the Devil? Jesus was accused of casting evil spirits on people causing them to be able to see, for example. Were they saying that he was using evil spirits to cast out the evil spirits? A kingdom divided is a kingdom destroyed.
Parsley is someone I won’t follow. He obviously doesn’t know what he is talking about. And Wright is someone I won’t follow, especially if he hangs around phonies like Farrakhan and the un-Islamic “Nation of Islam.”

with vast amount of enemy outside and unpatriotic enemies inside, america need strong leader not a leader sitting down with a country size of texas trying to do us harm if we don’t negotiate

Keep hammering on this on H&C, Alan. I saw Melanie Morgan running scared the other night from your question about it. Hold the right-wingers feet to the fire on this issue along with their double standards.
Darla @ 10:58pm: I don’t hear any of these pastors,saying the Lords name in vain over and over again.
I assume you’re talking about the God d*amn remark. According to what I heard on FOX News just awhile ago, that looks like it’ being taken out of context by showing only that short video clip. Apparently, Wright was referencing the bible book of Amos which talks about God’s judgement (or damnation if you will) on nations who sin.

[...] advisers,” received a fraction of the attention generated by Wright. As both David Corn and Alan Colmes, among others, have documented, Parsley espouses views at least as extreme and radical as Wright, [...]

Listening to all the hatred and bashing makes me sick. Is that where we want to lead our children for the future? While I have no problem in questioning the integrity of someone like Obama, the rhetoric of Sean Hannity is really reeling in hatred. I think people like Mr. Hannity help to promote divisiveness in this country, that is NOT what America needs right now. When you go to sleep do you really have a free conscience? I bet you do. I also think sound bites can be very misleading tell the whole story please.
Why do I need to be judged by what my best friend says. Is that fair, if you have children Mr. Hannity do you expect their friends to treat them based on the mean and very high handed manner in which you speak to people?
Be fair, judge the man based on his character. The bible says do unto others as you would have them do to you.
You have never been black so you cannot speak from the gut of a black man.
By the way what is your honest opinion, do you think that the “unknown” Obama is going to harm America. I guess that is the question.

JOLIET — Two FBI agents spent more than an hour in the Will County Office Building on Wednesday morning as part of an investigation into an elected official.
That person seems to be Will County Executive Larry Walsh. Matt Ryan, his chief of staff, also is part of the probe, sources say.
The official apparently is Walsh. Ryan has — or had — some relationship with Smith Dawson and Andrews, the lobbying firm hired in 2006 at a rate of $10,000 a month to help Will County snare more federal grants and funding. The association is related to his work with the lobbying firm Performance Communication Group.
… The lobbying firm has secured quite a bit of federal funding for the county, including money to clean up and modernize the water and sewer system in Joliet Township’s Ridgewood neighborhood; to do engineering work at 143rd Street and Interstate 355; and to add laptop computers to the squad cars driven by Will County police.
A DUI? Not Obama’s poker buddy, say it isn’t so? That last link is an interesting read via WaPo btw. Obama likes tough, no-gloves campaigns. I hope he gets to see one from McCain, soon.
One regular, former Democratic state senator Larry Walsh, said Obama was competitive yet careful — and always hard to read.
“One night, we were playing and things weren’t going very well for me,” Walsh said. “I had a real good hand and Barack beat me out with another one. I slammed down my cards and said, ‘Doggone it, Barack, if you were a little more liberal in your card playing and a little more conservative in your politics, you and I would get along a lot better.’

Just to let you know Obama’s birth certificate has been posted on many astrological sites. This is certified from the state of Hawaii. Don’t let those nut jobs get away with that, eh ? (lol)

What an angry kook this Parsley dude is. Let’s hope McCain was just picking out some preacher at random, and does not actually believe Parsley’s nonsense.
I especially wonder why Parsley is so pissed of about gays. It isn’t even listed in the top 10 sins. Wonder if Parsley and McCain sat down with McCain’s Chief of Staff to set him ’straight’ on the whole ‘perverted act of sodomy’ thing.

They say that a Republican can’t win Ohio without Rod Parsley.
True or false, I don’t know.

You, like your presidential canditate, are a comunist. I would relish the opportunity to whip your skinny , emaciated and liberal ass. Please sign your next multi-million dollar contract with the Comunist News Network or CNBC so I won’t have to look at your emaciated, ghostly, homosexual, biased and pussy face anymore. Leave NYC and you will get your assed kicked. Have a nice day fagot.

Alan, you slamed a call stating he suggested you do not
have any integrity and that you lie. Well Alan, when integrity is missing and one shapes responses to appear tuthful when they are not, what else would you call it?
I don’t know who taught who – did Jimmy Carter teach both you and Obama? Did Poilse or Reid, Barney Frank or was it Chris Dodd? May be it was G. W. Bush! Who ever it was you learned well so don’t be angry with a caller when they gently point to the charater truth of your presentations.

Hey Alan…
Where did your calculator go. You know…the one that told us how much we would get back in tax cuts if we make under $250,000.
Did you take it off because the $250,000 mark is dropping daily? What’s it at now? $100,000?
I remember when Clinton “tried as hard as he could”, but had to set the tax increase to everyone who made over $20,000.
So…were you a useful idiot, or were you just lying?
November 7th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Dear Mr. Colmes,
I am a very conservative individual. Still I want you to know that I appreciate your commentary over the years and your sensible counter points. Best wishes in the future.
