[Renew Deal]

I'm glad someone is taking this on. These people are evil and you can see it in her eyes.

1. and they are part of a long thought out plan

read this...it should give you pause.
http://www.insider-magazine.com/ChristianMafia.htm

After several months of in-depth research and, at first, seemingly unrelated conversations with former high-level intelligence officials, lawyers, politicians, religious figures, other investigative journalists, and researchers, I can now report on a criminal conspiracy so vast and monstrous it defies imagination. Using “Christian” groups as tax-exempt and cleverly camouflaged covers, wealthy right-wing businessmen and “clergy” have now assumed firm control over the biggest prize of all – the government of the United States of America. First, some housekeeping is in order. My use of the term “Christian” is merely to clearly identify the criminal conspirators who have chosen to misuse their self-avowed devotion to Jesus Christ to advance a very un-Christian agenda. The term “Christian Mafia” is what several Washington politicians have termed the major conspirators and it is not intended to debase Christians or infer that they are criminals . I will also use the term Nazi – not for shock value – but to properly tag the political affiliations of the early founders of the so-called “Christian” power cult called the Fellowship. The most important element of this story is that a destructive religious movement has now achieved almost total control over the machinery of government of the United States – its executive, its legislature, several state governments, and soon, the federal judiciary, including the U.S. Supreme Court.



The United States has experienced religious and cult hucksters throughout its history, from Cotton Mather and his Salem witch burners to Billy Sunday, Father Charles Coughlin, Charles Manson, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite, and others. But none have ever achieved the kind of power now possessed by a powerful and secretive group of conservative politicians and wealthy businessmen in the United States and abroad who are known among their adherents and friends as The Fellowship or The Family. The Fellowship and its predecessor organizations have used Jesus in the same way that McDonald’s uses golden arches and Coca Cola uses its stylized script lettering. Jesus is a logo and a slogan for the Fellowship. Jesus is used to justify the Fellowship’s access to the highest levels of government and business in the same way Santa Claus entices children into department stores and malls during the Christmas shopping season.



When the Founders of our nation constitutionally separated Church and State, the idea of the Fellowship taking over the government would have been their worst nightmare. The Fellowship has been around under various names since 1935. Its stealth existence has been perpetuated by its organization into small cells, a pyramid organization of “correspondents,” “associates,” “friends,” “members,” and “core members,” tax-exempt status for its foundations, and its protection by the highest echelons of the our own government and those abroad.

2. WOW! Quote: "You're obviously a nut".

"We've had alot of nutty people on, over the years...
...You are as mean and as sick and as cruel
as anybody I've ever had on this program."

If only they would be so honest and direct when interviewing
the Backwashers who come on the show to CheerLead for B*sh.

3. For those of you keeping score

THIS is the only way Sean Hannity seems rational. Of course, when Hannity lectures a person for using religion to justify hatred, you really have to wonder if he's asking inside, "What's your secret? How DO you do it?"

[Renew Deal]

6. The scary thing is that they agree with Hannity more often

than they agree with Colmes.

[Richard Steele]

8. LOL, that might be a good point you have there.

"What's your secret? How DO you do it?"
Yeah, it's entirely possible that he's actually thinking that.

[SacredCow]

4. I only recently read their mantra...

those folks are so far gone, I don't even think the mother ship will be coming back for them. "We hate homosexuals; ergo, lets go disrupt funerals of soldiers who were killed in action...? :wtf: Am I missing something here?

[mcscajun]

9. You're not...they certainly are.

They've decided that the deaths of soldiers are their "God's" punishment for America's "sinful" ways; ergo, there's a direct line in their warped, twisted minds between "God Hates Fags" and holding up signs saying so at the funerals of our fallen military members.

Sick, sick, sick.

[SacredCow]

10. I honestly don't care if they want to hate gays

As a gay man, I've accepted that there are those who will despise me simply because of my sexuality. Whatever- I'm not losing any sleep over it. But to do this at the funerals of someone's beloved son/husband/daughter/wife- whatever the case may be... Wow. I can't even wrap my mind around that kind of hate.

As much as I dislike dubya, if something tragic were to happen to one of his daughters I would never consider or condone someone protesting at the funeral. That's reprehensible on so many levels...

21. They're a cult

She has that glassy-eyed stare of someone who's just a brainwashed spokesman for "The Message". It hard for me to really hate her too much - if her father & whole family were part of this cult, then they're brainwashed early. I wonder, if I grew up in that family, would I believe the same thing? Scary.

5. One psychotic demagogue

attacking an even more psychotic demagogue...I'm watching for a black hole to open up from the sheer weight of their depravity and ignorance.

Love how she referred to the legislative Taliban...god the irony is so...

well one way to make anyone look moderate is to stand them next to a member of the Phelps family. Almost makes me wonder if the Neocons keep people like them in jars so they can pour them out when they need a bit of papish but unified outrage.

The New Manson Family.

7. It's good to see Hannity take on someone who everyone despises

I think Phelps and his band of sickos are hated as much here as at Free Republic. Whether it's Matt Shepard's funeral or a dead soldier's, it is just so unseemly for them to picket and hold up hateful signs.

After a few sessions of H&C screaming at the loons for the ratings' sake, they should just ignore them. Giving them press attention only allows for them to recruit fellow sickos to their cause.

They were in Ferndale, MI, a couple of years ago to protest the city's friendliness towards gays. No one counter-protested, and after they left, the youth groups from the UMC church went around and scrubbed the sidewalks where the Westboro group protested.

[madinmaryland]

16. Maybe that last statement is what should be done everywhere they go.

"the youth groups from the UMC church went around and scrubbed the sidewalks where the Westboro group protested."

[varun]

11. its a matter of degrees

Hannity hates less, Phelps hates more...

Pot calling the kettle black

[Beelzebud]

12. I hate you!!!!!!!

For forcing me to watch a clip in which I MUST agree with Sean Hannity!!!!

Damn theeeeeee1!!!!!!!


LOL :)

[DanCa]

13. Is it a class reunion show for Hannity?

I have a hard time beliving that the Hermaphrodite is against the Westboro Baptist Church.

[Renew Deal]

15. I think his problem is them protesting funerals

Not hating gays

[ronnykmarshall]

14. The only reason they are doing this ..

is because batshit crazy Freddie and Klan are protesting at the funerals of solders.

They could give a flying fuck when they were attacking gays.

Both Hannity and his lap dog can kiss my ENTIRE ass.

[gatorboy]

18. Aint that the truth.

These people have been this sick and twisted for years. And Hannity only gets his panties in a bunch when they start going after straights? Argh!

[jmowreader]

17. Colmes' opening was the best part

"Shirley, this is Alan Colmes. What's wrong with you?"

[Marie26]

19. Creeeepppy

Hannity finally confronted with the extreme of his own movement.

[originalpckelly]

20. They've been shaking the can 'o' nuts real hard where she came from...

and she and family, just like all the other big ones rose to the top, yikes!

[Jack_Dawson]

22. I need a shower

and I just took one. Agreeing with Hannity and having to watch that kook have made me feel dirty. I feel especially bad for the poor kids who are holding up "God hates fags" signs just cuz their fucked up family told them to. Good Lord.
