MAJOR ENDORSEMENTS

Evangelist Endorses Obama Because George Bush Disrespected ‘Matthew,’ From The Bible

Because he's some sort of Mexican, obvsAn evangelist named Dr. K.A. Paul, whom the New Republic has called the most popular evangelist in the world (read: has sodomized more little boys than the others), has shockingly endorsed the Muslin candidate, Barack Obama, in what must be an all-time first! This dude, who we will respectfully dub “The Other Dr. Paul” for the sake of LIBERTY! and FREEDOM!, offered three reasons for his endorsement: restoring America’s image abroad, eliminating the Bush/Republican economic policies, and punishing George W. Bush for his ineffectiveness in bringing about the second coming of Christ as the Bible had ordered him to do. As you can see, one of these reasons is insane on a COSMIC SCALE. What kind of drugs must this guy be on to think that the Bush economic policies have failed us??

This is the kind of psychobabble that emerges when someone tries to criticize Bush and the Republicans from the religious right:

“Number one, speaking from an evangelical perspective, the current administration, I believe, has delayed the second coming of Jesus. Since the Iraq war, missionaries have been forced out of many countries, their work unfinished. As it says in Matthew 24:14, ‘the gospel will be preached in the whole world.’ The Bush administration’s Iraq war policy has been in direct contradiction to Matthew.”

Uhh… yes, we hate the Iraq War for the very same reason. Missionaries. Not enough… missionaries. We’re fine with the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people — who cares right? — but when the MISSIONARIES had to flee Iraq, well, we can only tolerate so much.

And if George Bush thinks that the gospel Matthew will just let this slide, then boy howdy, he REALLY doesn’t know Matthew very well.

    Well, Palin did say that God is in the tank for Obama - at least she seemed to:

    Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin describes herself as a “hard-core pro-lifer” and expresses confidence that in spite of disheartening polls, “putting this in God’s hands, that the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4.”

    If the Iraq war is keeping the apocalypse away, then I say “Let’s stay for 100 years”

    Matthew 24:15 - And lo the soddomites were swept out of the Lowly Land and sent scurrying back to their think-tanks and six-packs

    Once again, a fundamentalist proves that they can cram any agenda into their cramped little boxes.

    Oh please, this is clearly a coordinated afro-coordinated response by turncoat traitor in-the-tank Those Ones like Colin Powell and all the others, who I can’t tell apart for some reason.

    Ah, the good Reverend Doctor Paul makes me miss the good Congressman Doctor Paul like the heathen rainforests miss the rain.

  10. People who think that Christ is having or should be having his Second Coming during their lifetime are, among other things, completely blind to their egomania.

    IF HE’S SO CHRISTIAN WHY’S HE GOT THAT THAR MUSLIM MUSTACHE AND FRILLY LACY MUSLIN DRESS AND [kaff]unpatriotically tan skin?

  16. Here is a pic of Dr. K.A. Paul with Denis Hastert. Dr. Paul’s girlfriend is in the bottom right corner of the pic. Denis Hastert’s boyfriend is on the left side.

    Let’s think of other fundie excuses to support Barack:

    - He’s the lesser opponent to battle Christ when he returns to America.
    - The Muslin terrorists will follow Barack anywhere, including a shooting range.
    - Obama will cause race riots, nuclear holocaust, and world destruction thus being just about the right setting for Jesus to peak through and say hello.
    - Obama will reveal himself to us as Jesus and the whiteys will then know that Jesus really is black (or Obama is actually just pastey white)

    magic titty: +1. Or maybe even Bootsy.

    What this man doesn’t know is that George has a direct connection with teh Jeebus. He will be immediately be smite by Karl Rove, who is George’s Jeebus.

    Nikolai Vsevolodovich Stavrogin: I shed a small tear for her.

  22. The cuckoo-banana vote is obviously in the tank for Obama!

    magic titty: I thought it was Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.

    magic titty: whichever, it is still the porn ’stache of DOOM!

    DOooOooOOOooommmm!!!

  24. We can haz psychological profile before voting now?

  25. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 4:58 pm, October 22nd, 2008

    Hey, this is the guy who was BFFs with Charles Taylor of Liberia. I’m not so sure Obama really wants this endorsement.

  26. Batshit religious loonys get their own tank, probably separate from the page molesters. Unless, of course, there is some overlap. Hm.

    “Number one, speaking from an evangelical perspective, the current administration, I believe, has delayed the second coming of Jesus.”

    He says that like it’s a bad thing.

  28. No one ever quotes MY favorite bible verse:

    Ezekiel 23:20
    There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

    My fundie wingnut buddy at work was voting absentee today (South Carolina) and was wondering about the absence of Ron Paul, considering his choices included Cynthia McKinney and Chuck Baldwin. On the one hand, faceplant, and on the other hand, a sign of fundie dissatisfaction with McCain. BTW, is there anything more retarded than fundie Catholics? You fucking people don’t even read the Bible, for cryi.

    I am totally mystified by the undecidedness of the people I work with (military officers). There are a few wingers and single-issue voters who have made a choice, but I was talking to a liberal fucking JEW last night who didn’t know who she would vote for. Jesus, people.

  30. KA Paul is beyond insane and when he finds this post he will come to your house and prove it while attempting to sell you his airplane.

    Yes, his airplane.
