God-O-Meter: Obama Out-Gods McCain
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyBy more than double, it turns out. So says Beliefnet's "God-o-Meter." Obama has a God-o-meter reading of 7, to McCain's 3. Beliefnet interviewed evangelical PR guru Mark DeMoss about McCain's appeal to evangelical voters, and he offered this anecdotal support for McCain's near-flatline with the Yahweh set: I am surprised by how little I've seen or read in conservative circles about McCain since February. I don't think I've gotten one email or letter or phone call from anybody in America in the last four months saying anything about this election or urging that we unite behind John McCain and ...
Another Nutjob Preacher!
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAnother day, another nutjob preacher denounced on the campaign trail. You might have thought that after Jeremiah Wright, John Hagee, and Rod Parsley, we'd be granted a YouTube respite from these not-so-great-moments-in-pulpitry. And you'd be wrong. Meet Father Michael Pfleger, the latest holy man to be dropped, hot-potato-style, by a presidential hopeful. Have a gander at the remarks he made about Hillary Clinton at, where else, Trinity United Church of Christ.Oy vey! What is it with these guys? Why didn't they all just go to theater camp and try for a bit role in "Hamlet"? Here's Barack ...
McCain, TV Preacher Unendorse Each Other
By Dave - Politics DailyWell at least Rod Parsley, leader of a conservative Christian megachurch in Columbus, OH, gives as good as he gets. After saying Friday that he would not withdraw his endorsement of Sen. John McCain, pastor Rod Parsley has changed his mind. The pastor of World Harvest Church, in the Canal Winchester area, issued a statement almost identical to one he had sent late Friday night, but with one key change: the addition of the sentence "Therefore I withdraw my endorsement." Spokesman Gene Pierce wouldn't shed light on Parsley's decision, saying only "this statement is a clarification on ...
McCain's Spiritual Advisers
By David Knowles - Politics DailyTwo of John McCain's self-proclaimed "spiritual advisers" are evangelical leaders with some rather controversial views on religions other than their own. Denise Williams has already detailed the case of John Hagee, the man who has called Catholicism "a cult," and has likened it to "the Great Whore" in Revelation 17. Yesterday, Mother Jones published a bit on another televangelist whose support McCain actively courted, and who has since spoken at McCain rallies. Meet Ohio Minister Rod Parsley. Among the planks in his pious platform is the armed eradication of Islam. Not just it's radical ...
