I don’t even know why I’m creating a post about this issue. The quicker we drop this shit and talk about issues, the better off we will all be, and by all I mean the country. BUT, I can’t resist when I read an article that says what people like VC or myself point out. That being when idiots like Falwell or Robertson blame 9/11 on aids and queers then hug McCain and he gets a free pass.
But OHHHHH LORDY, (insert Bart from Blazing Saddles) Oh, lo’dy, lo’d, he’s despit! Do what he sayyyy, do what he sayyyy…
So EJ Dionne wrote a nice article saying the same thing. Only without the word nigger and without the voice dubbing to blazing saddles. (Good morning ma’am C’mon, how ’bout a good ol’ nigger work song? what a movie, but I digress…
Two days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Jerry Falwell, appearing on Pat Robertson’s “700 Club,” declared: “I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’ ”
Before Falwell’s death last year, John McCain actively courted his support, and Rudy Giuliani, one of the heroes of Sept. 11, welcomed Robertson’s endorsement of his own candidacy. “His advice is invaluable,” Giuliani said.
And, of course, there is the endorsement of McCain by the Rev. John Hagee, founder of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, who has called the Catholic Church “the great whore of Babylon” and “the anti-Christ.”
Yes, that’s right, I can get away with it. I have a black friend.
