Wednesday Wingnut Watch
Brothers and sisters let us pray. Let us pray for the death of President Obama. Oh, wait a minute, scratch that. Instead, let’s pray they give Obama the death penalty when he is tried for treason… Wiley Drake, the pastor who called for “imprecatory prayers” for Obama to die, now wants the President to live, so he can be tried for treason:
Drake said he is now “calling for all of God’s people and prayer warriors to cease the imprecatory prayer, and pray for Mr. Obama’s protection until he can be properly tried for treason.”
Drake attributed his change of heart to “spiritual counsel” of James David Manning, pastor at ATLAH World Missionary Church in New York, contained in a 16 1/2-minute video recorded Nov. 18.
“I have asked men everywhere please do you no harm,” Manning said in remarks he addressed to “Barack Hussein the long-legged mack daddy Obama.” According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, “mack daddy” is slang for a slick womanizer or conspicuously successful pimp.
“I do not want to see anyone attempt, dream about, think about or ever discuss assassinating you,” Manning continued. “It is most important to you and to my savior Jesus that you live, and that you live a long life, but that you live that we might be able to bring you to trial. You see if someone does you harm, and you are not able to be brought to trial, then we lose the opportunity of proving our statements that you are not the president of the United States of America. You are not. You are an illegal alien, a usurper.”
Wow, wasn’t it wonderful to have Sarah Palin visit us here in Rochester? She was so nice. She stayed late, until everybody in line got an autographed book. Her considerate behavior in Rochester, staying to sign every book, might have been learned after being booed for leaving without signing books for over 100 people still waiting in line Thursday in Noblesville Indiana. Some of them had waited in line seven hours, received wristbands, and thought they would meet Sarah. However, at the stroke of nine, Palin left the store.
Gee, there’s just no good movies this year. Oh, wait! Coming soon, to a DVD player near you…
This is the most significant example of religious activism since Martin Luther nailed his paper to the door. We know because we said so, and Mike Huckabee repeated it on TV. What, you haven’t heard of the Manhattan Declaration? Finally, conservative Chrtistians are taking a stand against abortion, against homosexuality, and for religious liberty. No indication on whether their desire for religious liberty extends to non-Christians.
In a 4,700-word statement named the Manhattan Declaration, about 150 evangelical, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox signers said they were coming together to “embrace our obligation” to speak and act in support of the dignity of all human beings, marriage as the union of a man and a woman, and the freedom to express religious convictions.
“[W]e will not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide and euthanasia, or any other anti-life act,” the statement says, “nor will we bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships, treat them as marriages or the equivalent, or refrain from proclaiming the truth, as we know it, about morality and immorality and marriage and the family. We will fully and ungrudgingly render to Caesar what is Caesar’s. But under no circumstances will we render to Caesar what is God’s.”
The drafters and other signers of the Manhattan Declaration unveiled the statement at a Washington news conference. The document gets its name from the location of the first drafting committee meeting.
The timing of the document’s release — 10 months into the Obama administration — was affected by the policy proposals of the new president and a Democrat-controlled Congress, but the principles in the statement are timeless, they said.

Inre the Palin video, three or four people shouting the same couple of phrases over and over does not make an; “angry crowd”. Perhaps all the people around the bus were too busy taking pictures to remember their lines?
I also notice this week’s edition conveniently left out the truth about the census worker’s death in Kentucky. Too bad the facts about the case bore no resemblance to all the nonsensical wingnut theories that have been pushed by the Progressive Left since the story first broke in September. Where are those fanatical gun totin’ Right Winger’s when you need them most?
I love the way RT continues to ignore Palin.
Not as much as we enjoy you reading about Sarah Palin
