Denounce him!
Renounce him!
Reject him!

**** off, Timmeh.

 

[Ace]

I'm in then.

Hey, wait a minute. Why does he want to let the Jews get half the fun of bombing Iran to the stone age?

Can't we be a little greedy and selfish for once?

I don't know anything about this guy other than what was in the article, but nothing there puts him in the same universe as Farakhan. Is there something else that makes this even close to paralllel?

So wanting to bomb the crap out of millions of people (most of whom actually like the U.S.A.) in order to hasten the return of Jesus is a sensible plan to you?

C'mon Ace, how can you not be on board for the second coming of Christ?

Is this like a second coming in a "Godfather II" kind of way or in a "Porky's 2: The Next Day" kind of way? Sequels can be risky. On the other hand, I didn't see the first one, so my expectations can't be too inflated.

Sorry. Wasn't looking at it from the proper perspective.

Let's nuke our way to Jesus!

Well, yeah. That would be the part that Fenian was too goddamned lazy to cut-and-paste, as usual:

Mr. Hagee, <b>who argues that the United States must join Israel in a preemptive, biblically prophesized military strike against Iran that will lead to the second coming of Christ</b>, praised Mr. McCain for his pro-Israel views.

But you have a point. He's not in the same universe as Farrakhan. He's much, much crazier than Farrakhan ever was.

Sorry I thought that this thread was about Mullah Omar

Ok, a nut case endorsed McCain.
Why does it have to be reported?

 

[PeteyPirate]

Maybe because McCain enthusiastically welcomed the endorsement in a public way.

Or because the media are liberal.

this could start a trend of dirty tricks - for example McCain party gets David Duke to endorse Obama

 

[Ace]

Because many Republicans have feared that McCain is considered too "liberal" to get votes from the nutjob right wingers. This should ease their fears.

It's good news. Relax and enjoy it.

Seriously, you don't know?

Sorry, I'm a lot more tolerant of crazy people than evil ones.

 

[Pastor]

Sorry, I'm a lot more tolerant of crazy people than evil ones.

What is the difference?

Clearly he meant that Louis Farrakhan actually has the capability to destroy Israel, while the crazy Texas minister is just shouting some whacko fantasy that he could never really fulfill.

I see. I didn't realize Farrakhan had such magical powers.

Thankfully, I am warned.

Not quite. I'm not sure I understand the question. They're different words, with different meanings.

How do you define one as evil and one as crazy?
