I'll never forgot watching that night when Karl Rove started aggressively trying to argue it wasn't a decided election and a Fox News anchor actually went down to speak to the electoral statistic experts and ask them if they were confidant in calling it for Obama. They were, 100%.

Oh my god yeah when he jacked like 10 mins of airtime to argue it wasn't fair to call the election for Obama, while Fox were flashing OBAMA RE-ELECTED under him the entire time.

Why do you think the right is so scared of her, it's a documentary as far as they're concerned.

John Stossel is trying to pretend he's a reasonable person again.

quote:

Fox Business host John Stossel joined Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" on Tuesday night to tell host Bill O'Reilly that Christianity is not under attack.

"Your 'war on Christianity' — you’re just a 10-foot-tall crybaby," Stossel told O'Reilly. "It’s not so bad. Christians aren’t being killed."

"Not yet," O'Reilly jumped into say.

"And not in America, and they’re not going to be," Stossel said.

O'Reilly then claimed that Christians are "verbally being killed."

"You shouldn’t be diminished because you believe a certain way," O'Reilly said. "Aren’t you outraged by that?"

"What’s diminished?" Stossel asked in response, adding that Christians make up a majority in the U.S. "You've won."

"It’s not a matter of winning. It’s a matter of respect," O'Reilly replied.

O'Reilly lamented that "secularists" want "unfettered abortion" and "gay marriage."

"I’m a secularist, and I don’t want unlimited abortion," Stossel said. "I think you paint with too broad a brush."

O'Reilly then noted that Stossel is not a "secular progressive."

STOSSEL: GAY MARRIAGE MOVEMENT ‘HAS MOVED FROM TOLERANCE TO TOTALITARIANISM’ posted:

STOSSEL: ...Look, I’m for gay marriage, but I think this movement has moved from tolerance to totalitarianism — it’s the totalitarianism of the left.

O’REILLY: I have no — you are absolutely right on that.

STOSSEL: No baker should get to stop two people from getting married to anybody they want.

O’REILLY: They can’t stop it. A baker can’t stop it.

STOSSEL: But they shouldn’t be forced to bake the cake.

O’REILLY: I agree with you.

STOSSEL: I disagree with you and Marco Rubio. This is not about religious rights. It’s about individual freedom.

O’REILLY: All right. Well, you can carry that over.

Mike Huckabee has threatened to fire the holy ion cannon of god:

quote:

“I stand here on Mt. Carmel today,” he continued, “and I hope that, if called upon, I would be willing to stand all by myself and to call fire from Heaven and believe that God will answer even if there are hundreds and hundreds of false prophets on the other side. You may stand here someday and be called upon to call the fire from Heaven. I hope you’re ready to believe that God will answer that prayer.”

I don't understand his argument because being a christian I rarely (if ever) heard any pastor that spoke towards me ever go out of his way to discuss politics on the pulpit. Generally it had to do with what Jesus said (spoiler alert: He was pretty awesome), and how we should apply it to our own life. How we should try our hardest to try to emulate Christ, among other things.

Why is this a problem? I don't come to Church to be talked down to like I'm google searching #TCOT, but rather I'm looking for spiritual guidance.

It saddens me because I really want to be involved with the faith more but it feels like people like Huckabee have done their best to try to burn down any bridge between people like me because they seem to crave power and influence, rather than actually serving God.

e: Notice how he only cites old testament verses?

It was always weird to me as a Jew hearing this poo poo too. Like, yea obviously the line between 'politics' and 'religion/culture' is blurred on the Israel issue so I've heard plenty of Rabbis use their position to speak on that, but I can't imagine how all but the most Conservative group would react to a Rabbi talking politics from the authority as a spiritual teacher. Like, yea I guess if it was a social issue like gays or minority rights I can see it being more a 'ok a little heavyhanded but yea he felt this was his place to share his view' but like, a Rabbi going off about the fuckin tax code outside of casual conversation or something would be looked at like an utter madman in most every community.

I mean it helps I guess that for us a Rabbi is just a very wise person who has devoted themselves to studying God's laws rather than THE SPEAKER FOR GOD but unless I'm missing something that's not really a 'thing' in most Christian branches too, right? Like Catholics view priests and all as a 'go-between' kinda (in glib terms) but I don't think protestants have a thing where they think a priest speaks with God's authority on the whole, do they?

Ironically, thanks to Kyrie's thread I know exactly what Huckabee is referencing:

2 Kings 1:9-15 posted:

9 Then he sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!’”

10 Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.

11 At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!’”

12 “If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

13 So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life and the lives of these fifty men, your servants! 14 See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!”

15 The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.

If I were Clinton's campaign manager, I'd tell her to go to a KFC. Not even a community outreach thing, literally just walk in, get some chicken to go, and leave after making some small talk with the cashier and maybe a few families there. Time how long it takes for someone to go on air and ask "Clinton spotted at a KFC! Is she trying to win the government niggotiator vote before Ben Carson announces?"

There is something pretty off about him beyond just being third rate conservative commentator. The apparent pride he takes in "waiting until marriage," the half-assed dressing in drag, and whatever that picture is supposed to be paint a picture of something far from well-adjusted.

There's either twink heads or a LOT of leather and unusual furniture in his basement/office.
