epic fail: pat robertson

Pat Robertson does his best Jeremiah Wright impersonation.

It’s a good thing we don’t take people like this seriously. Wouldn’t it be awful if the President had a twenty year relationship with someone who says stuff like the video above? Oh wait…

steve anderson + jeremiah wright = crazy

On August 31, 2009, in Politics, by Henshaw

Liberals are in a tizzy about Steve Anderson. Anderson is a crazy pastor from some wacko church in Arizona. In a recent sermon he talked about how he “hates Barack Obama.” Evidently, Anderson prays that the President gets brain cancer and dies. Obviously, Anderson is on the political and religious fringe, and no rational person would sit and listen to a pastor pontificate like that.
The coverage of Anderson is fascinating, though. What if Obama’s church of 20 years had received the same coverage after 9/11? According to Jeremiah Wright, the United States got what it deserved. Just think, the current President of the United States thought Wright was a great man and didn’t have to pay a political price for it. Can anyone imagine a scenario where a Republican 2012 presidential hopeful was a member of Anderson’s church? What if this presidential hopeful wrote a book that was named after one of Anderson’s sermons (Working title: I Hate Barack Obama)?
Crazy churches exist in a nation of 300 million people. They exist all over the world. Typically, our nation doesn’t elect leaders who are dumb enough to listen to hate speech every Sunday, but there’s nothing typical about how President Obama was and is covered by the press. Pastors like Anderson and Wright should be universally condemned. The left turned a blind eye toward Wright and is now up in arms about some pastor no one cares about.

obama: doing what politicians do

On June 11, 2009, in Politics, by Henshaw

There were two sad and unusual items in the news yesterday. The most horrifying event happened when an old Neo-Nazi opened fire at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The President responded to the shooting by stating “This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms.” This is a very reasonable thing to say. However, on the same day, Obama’s mentor and pastor of over 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, went on the record with his opinion of the Jews:

“Them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me,” Wright said. “I told my baby daughter that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office. …
They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. … I said from the beginning: He’s a politician; I’m a pastor. He’s got to do what politicians do.”

Unbelievable! Obama surely wasn’t vigilant against anti-Semitism during his 20 years as a member of Wright’s church. To get an idea of how the press has swept this lunatic under the rug, think back to Mel Gibson, who had the nerve to produce a movie about Jesus Christ. Making movies about Jesus requires the full investigative power of the New York Times, while running for president requires the full investigative powers of US magazine into the wardrobe choices of Michelle Obama. My guess is more Americans know that Gibson’s dad is a raving anti-Semite than know that Obama’s mentor is a racist and an anti-Semite. It’s like we’re living in an alternate reality.
