Anti-Jewish Terror is "God's Judgment"
02 Sep 2008 11:14 pm
Yes, Sarah Palin sat in a church where this message was given. Two weeks ago. The karma in all this is just amazing:
Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.
"Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It's very real. When [Brickner's son] was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment — you can't miss it."
Palin was in church that day, Kroon said, though he cautioned against attributing Brickner’s views to her.
How does Hannity deal with this? After what he said about Jeremiah Wright?
What a bunch of sick fuckers. I can't wait to see if she backs off. It took Obama a little while to distance himself from Wright, but he finally became rational. I don't hold out the same hope for Palin because she sounds much more hardcore herself.
But I do have to say there is a nice bit of karmic justice here, considering the non-stop hammering the Hannitys of the world have given Obama due to Wright.
I guess we're about to see if there's that big bad liberal media the Right keeps harping on about.
What does it matter? my pastor doesnt speak for me!
My pastor raped little boys does that mean that Im ok with boy raping. He was great up until I found out he raped boys. He married me, he would come over for dinner and I would quote some of his sayings...
Someone please explain.
You are right it shouldn't matter but the Republican party and it's supporters made an issue of this. Now let's see if the same standard applies to their new cover girl.
I don't think it does. I was addressing the what I will assume will be hypocritical right-wingers who harshly criticized Obama's relationship with Wright but will support a nominee who's pastor said that if you don't vote for President Bush, you're going to Hell and that Palestinian suicide bombers are judgment from God.
I don't think it would be fair to assume those are her personal beliefs, but I sincerely doubt that all the grenades lobbed at Obama's camp regarding the Wright scandal are going to be thrown here.
If you knew your pastor raped little boys and you continued to support that pastor through tithing, or attendance, then yes, it would appear that you would be OK with raping little boys. If you knew that your pastor raped little boys and you took your own kids to that church, then yes, it would appear that you would be OK with having your own children abused.
Since it sounds like you had no idea, you couldn't be held responsible. If Obama and/or Palin go to church and not listen to a thing that their pastors said, then perhaps they could be excused. But to go, listen, say their Amens, drop cash on the plate, get married, have the kids baptised, use the pastor for personal guidance, etc... then it is a relationship that shouldn't be ignored.

I don't know. Shit man, there's so much stuff coming in about Palin that could/needs to be headlined, that maybe the news is just having a hard time picking what they're going to run.
