judge the article by this at least:
“the weekly Senate Prayer Breakfast, which included, until his downfall, Virginia’s notoriously racist Senator George Allen.”
paranoid rant indeed
Well that makes a great deal of sense to me, and it certainly will influence my vote this fall.
A Democrat (guess an Obama supporter) called Hannity about this yesterday...Sean hadn’t heard of it before...
It doesn’t sound like any of the fundamentalists churches I know of all of which teach the primacy of the Kingdom of Christ which supercedes all kingdoms on Earth and in spiritual principalities.
It does sound like cultist Masons,illuminati and scientologists though...take your pick!
Wow. This hate filled leftist Obama supporter is labellng the National Prayer Breakfast as right wing, nazi, and thus linked to Sen. Klinton? I am not a fan of hers, but this is Ridiculous.
news Flash!
Joe Lieberman, the next Vice President, is a member of the Senate Prayer Breakfast too! This explains his right-wing religious views.

When I was first invited years ago to the Senate Prayer Breakfast, I found a lot of excuses not to go. Some were good — like my reluctance to leave my family so early on a weekday morning. But some excuses were not-so-good — like my apprehension that the Senate Prayer Breakfast was really a Christian breakfast and that, because I am Jewish, I might feel awkward or my presence might inhibit my Christian friends in their expressions of faith. I was wrong on both counts.
The regular participants in the breakfast, and our wonderful chaplain, Lloyd Ogilvie, persisted and finally convinced me to attend by employing a tactic that usually works with us politicians: they asked me to be the speaker.
That was a very important morning in my now 11 years in Washington. We began with prayer and readings from the bible and then called on the chaplain, who told us about some people in the Senate family we might want to pray for, because they were ill or had lost loved ones. Then it was my turn. I spoke about the Passover holiday and answered some very thoughtful questions. At the end, we joined hands and prayed together.
All in all, it lasted less than an hour, but I was moved that morning. More than that, I felt at home.
Some guy called in to Mark Levin’s show about this last night. Weird.
This sounds like one of obama's inspired new voters decided that the Wright dus up should be upstaged.
Then drafted up a story in crayon.
And, to post 7, thanks for your opinion but Huckabee isn't running anymore.
What a bunch of BS. It is, after all, in Mother Jones, a “notoriously anti-American, paranoid liberal rag”
I like the quote: “Virginia’s notoriously racist Senator George Allen...” from the article.
Other than the well known “macacaca” comment which is, at worst, of very debatable meaning, can someone please tell me what Mr. Allen has ever said or done to make him a “notorious” racist?
Are you sure this wasn’t from www.theonion.com?
Mother Teresa was invited to attend one of these prayer breakfasts, too, and she gave a powerful speech on the evils of abortion in the face of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
I suppose she’s part of the plot.
Good grief. The Nation really has gone around the bend! The Communists have been kidnapped by little green men!
Unlikely.
What a bunch of hokum. The author mentioned every Republican boogey-man from the past two decades with the possible exception of Richard Mellon Scaife.
I wouldn’t even expect to see tripe like this in Weekly World News or the Puffington Host. I guess “The Nation” is hurting big time for circulation.
“notoriously racist Senator George Allen.”
See what they do? They create a storm over an innocent action, accuse the person of racism, then treat the false accusation as a fact for years afterwards.
What a wretched right-wing fascist, racist, xenophobic, sexist organization this has to be .. they segregate youth by gender in housing! Need we know more?
This guy is a fruit cake!
