Name That Missing Religion

Which one do you think the Zionist-controlled Amerikan MSM articles left out (answer at bottom of post)?

"Obama, McCain to join evangelist's forum; Appearances set for Calif. megachurch" by Rachel Zoll, Associated Press | August 16, 2008

The Rev. Rick Warren is an antiabortion Southern Baptist who is nonetheless part of a shift away from the religious right's strict focus on abortion and marriage. The environment, poverty, and education have also become pressing concerns, especially for younger evangelicals.

That's why Obama does better than McCain among religious voters -- and another reason that despite the "polls," Obama should win in a landslide.

Even if it really makes no difference, within the small prism of AmeriKan politics the voters are SICK of McBush!!!!

Warren is best known for building Saddleback Church into a 23,000-member congregation in Lake Forest, Calif., and for writing the multimillion-selling book "The Purpose Driven Life."

But he and his wife, Kay, are also leading advocates for HIV/AIDS victims worldwide. They have invested enormous resources in their PEACE Plan, now underway in Rwanda, which aims to combat corruption, illiteracy, and other social problems through church partnerships with government and business.

Yes, I know they are missionaries, but at least SOMEONE is TRYING to HELP!!!!

Where are the hand-wringing, castigating "liberals" and their U.N.?

Older-guard evangelical leaders who oppose broadening the agenda have been leaning on Warren. In a stream of statements in the days leading up to the forum, they implored him to press the candidates about their positions on abortion.

Warren, who made the rounds of the network morning news shows yesterday to promote the forum, told David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network: "I'm going to ask them questions about character, competence, about values, vision, virtue, about their convictions in leadership, about their experience. And I'm going to deal with their personal life, because character matters. Their personal life does matter as a leader. God says so."

For Obama, the forum gives him an ideal setting to counter the misperception that he is Muslim.

And an ideal setting for the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM to bring it up again.

Quick, who was the Olympic bomber in Atlanta? Richard Jewell, right?

Yeah, I heard Obama was Muslim.

A recent poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found that 12 percent of respondents believe the Illinois senator is Muslim.

Obama became a Christian as an adult, but during the campaign left his church home, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, after repudiating the former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., over explosive remarks from the pulpit about race and the US government.

Oh, they get to bring up the good doctor again, too!!!!

The benefit of the forum to McCain, who was brought up Episcopalian and now attends a Baptist church in Phoenix, is less clear. Many evangelical leaders have backed him only reluctantly. And he put conservative Christians on edge Thursday by floating the prospect of picking a running mate who supports abortion rights.

--more--"

Who could he be thinking of -- Ghouliani?

".... One of McCain's possible running mates is his close friend, Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, who opposes abortion.

I thought you guys said he was looking for someone pro-abortion?

Pawlenty, who was raised as a Catholic, said in a recent interview that he switched to attending his wife's church to "reconcile our faiths" and now considers himself an evangelical Christian. McCain has long had a stormy relationship with some evangelical leaders."

Answer: Judaism

As if that religion and its "practitioners" have no effect on AmeriKan politics.

Case closed on the obfuscating, Zionist-controlled, AmeriKan MSM.
