"Last week John McCain campaigned alongside Ohio televangelist Rod Parsley, who has perfected the "Patriot Pastors" model of church-based political organizing."

Isn't he the one who helped Bush take Ohio? I believe that was in So Goes the Nation, the movie.

He is a very upsetting man to watch and hear.

1. I love how he calls himself a "bible thumper"
The only true thing he says. The man rips off his stage antics from Peter Popoff and Benny Hinn. Wanna bet that for all his blathering about the family, he's payed off more prostitutes than Vitter and Spitzer combined?

2. All I can say is...
Would Jesus want his ministers to wear $4,000 suits to preach his word...

3. OSAMA FOR OBAMA @ Hillary Party in OH Ties to RW Controversial Evangelist ROD PARSLEY
An Obama-Hater for Clinton, Temporarily

BY JASON HOROWITZ | MARCH 5, 2008 | TAGS: POLITICSBARACK OBAMAHILLARY CLINTONOHIO

Meet Todd Appelbaum, a 46-year-old from Columbus, who wore a shirt that says “Osama for Obama” to the Clinton campaign’s election-night event in Ohio last night.
The white t-shirt, with an image of Barack Obama dressed in traditional Somali garb, is adorned with a blue Hillary Clinton button, although Appelbaum is not what one would call a real Hillary Clinton supporter.
“I voted for Hillary today,” he said, “because I’m concerned that, God forbid, Barack Obama will beat McCain. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

APPELBAUM HAS TIES TO CONTROVERSIAL RW EVANGELIST ROD PARSLEY:



Patriot Pastors

By: MARILYN H. KARFELD Senior Staff Reporter

-snip


Todd Appelbaum, a 44-year-old native Clevelander who has lived in Columbus for the past 25 years, attended the event along with a number of Republican government officials, including Blackwell. Former chairman of Columbus's chapter of American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Appelbaum is now active in a Jewish-Christian coalition that works to support Israel and other issues.

Evangelicals are loving patriots

Appelbaum, who brought three Orthodox rabbis to the pastors' gathering, attended in order to meet Parsley and to develop deeper relationships between the Jewish community and conservative evangelicals.

"Our freedoms are threatened, our Judeo-Christian beliefs are threatened by radical Islam," Appelbaum says. "If western civilization is going to be saved from these evil forces, who don't share our values, it has to be done through Christianity. There are only 14 million Jews throughout the world. There are two billion Christians. They are the only ones who can stand up to radical Islam."

4. I am deciding whether to laugh or cry.
This statement from your post:

"Our freedoms are threatened, our Judeo-Christian beliefs are threatened by radical Islam," Appelbaum says. "If western civilization is going to be saved from these evil forces, who don't share our values, it has to be done through Christianity. There are only 14 million Jews throughout the world. There are two billion Christians. They are the only ones who can stand up to radical Islam."

Very scary.
