GOP priest attacks Obama in invocation

[RamboLiberal]

Here's the video of the invocation at the New York State Republican Party dinner last night, delivered to a crowd including Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Peter King, and where Dick Cheney later spoke.

In it, the priest, Monsignor Jim Lisante mockingly asks God to change Obama's mind and volunteers to replace Rev. Jeremiah Wright as Obama's pastor.

"One more thing, Lord. Please tell Senator Obama that maybe change is a good thing and maybe he should think about changing his favorite preacher," he said, to applause.

"I know a lot more of us would be comfortable with his judgment skills if he hadn’t sat for 20 years through those words offered by his preacher of division, bigotry, and – honestly – half truths without a word of objection from Senator until the media brought it up, and now he doesn’t want any part of the guy," he said.

"I’m willing to be his new preacher."

5. I'm coming to the conclusion many Obama supporters here on DU are assholes who can't control

themselves.

HOW MANY FUCKING THREADS IS NECESSARY?

It's impossible for the OP to NOT have seem the entire forum and it's threads on this.

11. THANK YOU

Fucking Jesus Christ people stop the fucking madness already! The Hillbots will do this for you I promise you they will. They will use all three of their daily post just to post the same damn topic worded slightly differently. Do we really need to do this for them? Really, can we just let the shit sink and not contribute to it. I honestly think the Wright shit was the fault of quite a few Obama supporters cause had they just ignored the shit the Hillbots would be talking to themselves and what fun is that. You got them starting post and if there is no reply within a few minutes they reply to their own post that is how desperate they are to keep this shit on DU and Obama supporters are quick to help them with it. Geesh, stop it already.

[FrenchieCat]

12. Yep.

With supporters like that, you don't need enemies.

16. Fuck Off - that was only thread I saw here on GDP

Related to this priest. And now you go on ignore with your 3 amigos.

6. No one ever said that you had to have common sense to

become a priest. However we have said that a priest, imam, rabbi, or pastor should stay out of politics.

[beachmom]

7. These ministers, priests, rabbis, imams, and so on just need to stay out of politics.

[NotThisTime]

18. They should all shut the hell up over politics, but they never do &

they prove it over & over again & everybody is surprised by what they say, like it matters what they say....

8. Get Your Tickets: BATTLE OF THE CLERGY....BE THERE.

9. Proof that you can pretend to be religious and still be a major scumbag

asshole

[LiberalFighter]

13. Let's just label all ministers, pastors, rabbis, etc as scumbag

But then again they don't represent all ministers, pastors, rabbis, etc. They just happen to be the ones that make the news.

[lisa58]

10. asshole

[TexasObserver]

14. Another big mouthed religious buffoon, prattling on.

Where do they get this endless supply of religious ass clowns?

[BeyondGeography]

17. More proof that church can be an utter waste of time

[PoliticalAmazon]
