More CNN DisInformation: Falwell...100 Million Christians Ready To Vote
Yep, the parallel universe has checked in today.

I'll leave the thoughts about the good Elmer Gantry Falwell to others...words can't describe the nearly 30 years of detest I have for that oxygen thief.

Then Wolfie in full whore more shows some graphics:

Of course Gallup

- over 40% of the voters consider themselves Evangelical Christians

then in a breakdown of the battlegrounds it showed Iowa as 30% Evangelical, Pennsylvania 24% and so on. Fatass Falwell then claims there will be 100 million energized Christians voting and the number rises every day (insert your armageddon joke here)...and Wolfie whores in saying that if ALL those Evangelicals show up at the polls, Kerry will be in "big trouble".

Earth to Wolfie: 30% of the voters, assuming your flawed polls are anywhere near correct, WILL be at the polls ready to zombie for the chimpster. If it's only 30%, then whose in trouble?

Sheesh!

But then this is the network that represents the "Blue states" according to Whorrie Kurtz.

9. 39% of evangelical Christians are Democrats.

There was a Pew Research study done a while back - I gotta go soon so you can find it if you really wanna see it :) but yeah. That's part of the reason I keep getting on peoples' cases for stereotyping.

18. yup...
i have a few christians in my neighbor whom my wife used to attend the same church as. Two of them have Kerry/Edwards, Tammy Baldwin, and Russ Feingold signs in their yards. Hell, my wife is very religous, attends church every week, and she can't stand Bush. Don't believe this shit about how all christians worship Bush. Many of them see him for the lying, 2 faced ass he is.

8. What Falwell doesn't mention is that lots of those Christians
think * is a heretic or even the Anti-Christ (there were rumors a while back that His Holiness the Pope actually wondered about that very question).

Christians who are uncomfortable with pictures of little Iraqi children with big holes blown through their bodies are not flocking to the polls to vote for their murderer.

My opinion? From now on you can spell toast simply by typing W

12. Ominous Terrorist Attack?
Didn't want to start a string with this one, but did Fatass just predict there could be an attack ala Madrid-style before the election? Did he just show cards? I sure hope not.

This plays into a fear I had months ago of an attack on a friendly country, not in the U.S. itself, but one that is close and "video-friendly" so there's 24/7 non-stop coverage. This just hit that nerve.

13. That settles it, * will
take Texas, Mississippi and Alabama for sure. What a joke. The only places that HAVE evangelicals in significant numbers were ALREADY in *'s column. I can't wait to see their plans for energizing and getting out the Amish. Will they be chartering giant horse-drawn busses to get to the polls?

14. "Kill them all... in the name of the Lord" Falwell just said that.
Scary stuff. Esp. coming from a "man of God".

15. Falsick is such a gas bag: 105 million people voted in 2000 already
Edited on Sun Oct-24-04 12:52 PM by sundancekid
and, of those, the POPULAR majority went to the Democrat; and, BTW, his so-called "evangelicals" stayed home to the tune of 2 million -- that would be a drop in the bucket IF we get out the vote on our own registered dems, plus ALL the new dem registrants. The wedge issues don't even get their base out past 30% ... just like you said ... who's in trouble now, baby??

17. I guess that's if you assume 100% of those are voting for Bush*
Which I can tell you is not the case. Trust me on this one.
