Falwell to host McCain “meet and greet.”
“The Rev. Jerry Falwell will co-host a ‘meet and greet’ for Sen. John McCain a week from today at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Orlando. The Arizonan is attending, but not speaking at, the convention, billed as ‘the premiere event in Christian communication.’”

McCain is putting all his eggs in the Fundie basket, good thing that won’t make him Prezident.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:11 pm‘the premiere event in Christian communication.’
I bet that will really piss off Jesus… And Mel Gibson.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:17 pmI guess prayer desn’t count anymore as the premium communication……
February 12th, 2007 at 5:20 pm“Maverick” McCain bringing his own tar – Falwell will supply the feathers. I don’t think Sen. John even knows he’s committing political suicide.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:23 pmTP – the link was to an article on Iraq.

Not if the saint is related to the God that tells Bush to kill people.

Not really.
How’s that accepting your homosexuality thing going Daryll?

Yeah, but how does that relate to the hypocrite and professional hater Falwell? Seems like McCain would want to distance himself from all immoral and hypocritical haters like yourself. You’re the sort of freaks Jesus warned everyone about. And here you are blaspheming his name by your very existence. You bring shame and disgrace on yourself and your churches.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:46 pmPremier, not premiere. Although I guess that’s Politico’s misspelling (it’s correct on the NRB website).
February 12th, 2007 at 5:47 pmDaryll…..
February 12th, 2007 at 5:48 pm“old St. Alphonso would be proud of you……..”
I might agree with Juan,
Daryll could very well be a parody. A good one.
Daryll’s out, and hes faaaaabuuuulous!
February 12th, 2007 at 5:52 pmWork that base John! Next week, maybe the KKK?
February 12th, 2007 at 5:52 pmWell Daryll,
Jeebus is real busy lately, deleting all your messages. So I asked a Saint for some help, and a Christian told me it was a false idol.
I don’t know what to do.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:53 pm9., speak for yourself. Falwell is a respected man of God and you’re angry because his sermons convict you daily. Well, if it convicts you, give your soul to Jesus.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:53 pmHey, this is just fine. Let McCain hitch his ride to these crazy biblethumpers. Hopefully, the fact-based community takes notice and Matthews stops treating him like the second coming.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:53 pmI have a confession to make…
February 12th, 2007 at 6:01 pmI was so intent in my prayer to the little plastic saint on my dashboard to keep me safe… I didn’t notice the light had changed…
I might agree with Juan,
Daryll could very well be a parody.

That was me…
Notice how he usually disappears when you point it out?
February 12th, 2007 at 6:09 pmDaryll, get down on your knees!
Let us praise God.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:10 pmO Lord…
ooh, You are so big…
so absolutely huge.
Gosh, we’re all really impressed down here, I can tell You.
Forgive us, O Lord, for this, our dreadful toadying, and…and barefaced flattery.
But You’re so strong and, well, just so… super.
Amen.
Well, if it convicts you, give your soul to Jesus.

Don’t ignore me… That’s rude.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:11 pmAs soon as I saw Falwell’s name I knew Daryll would be here, he just can’t resist a post where a homosexual is involved, hehehehehe….
February 12th, 2007 at 6:14 pmFalwell is a respected man of God […’

BULLSHlT! Falwell is a creepy, jesusmongering, power hungry, blaspheming, jail-house convert who is evil to his very core!!! He’s done NOTHING for this great country!!!! He makes life on earth worse for everyone by just being here!!!!
Keep it up McLame. Americans are not going to vote for anyone that rubs up against these Christianist ph*cks like Falwell, Dobson and others.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:15 pmThere’s no way I could stand to be in the same room with Falwell and McCain…ewww, I’ll bet Robertson will be there, too. I feel the need to take a shower just THINKING about it.
I’m not convicted by anything that scumbag has to say and I gave my soul to Jesus years ago. Which is why I’m a liberal Democrat…it’s what Jesus would do.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:16 pmhe just can’t resist a post where a homosexual is involved,

Ever notice they’re the only threads he ever posts in?
February 12th, 2007 at 6:18 pmAnd the “save the date” cards can read: Meet & Greet the Quintessential Hypocrite and the Human Flipflop! What a duo! And you know what?? They TOTALLY deserve each other! This will be a laughingstock

Dr. Freud, paging Dr. Sigmund Freud…….
February 12th, 2007 at 6:22 pmEvery 4 years the riechwing, jesus-licking, Christianist line up to support their new Repugnican whore!
They raise money.
They vote.
And the Repugs screw them over and over again. It’s really quite funny because they are the one sector of the American electorate that consistantly votes for a good butt ph*cking and a$$whooping!! I used to pity these a$$clowns. Now, I ridicule them and laugh in their stupid collective faces!!!
February 12th, 2007 at 6:32 pmEither the link is broken or they pulled the article. All you get is the Falwell/McCain headline.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:36 pmThere’s a car in my neighborhood with two bumper stickers. One says “Choose Life,” and the other one says “Bush 04″!
Very strange.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:39 pmA prostitute and a pimp.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:40 pmDarryl, how bout we set you up with an appointment to see Dr Godot…
February 12th, 2007 at 6:41 pm#30 – Bluedog
February 12th, 2007 at 6:43 pmThat’s a commercial for a breakfast cereal and an admission of colossal failure from the dufus who owns the car. Bet its a huge ass SUV, right?
I think it’s time to take the feet out from under the fundies.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:47 pmMy dear ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to celebrate this wonderful individual and his surprising, uplifting vision for America. I would like you to meet the one, the only… ah… pssst… ah… what’s your name again, pasty-faced, yellow-bellied white man?
February 12th, 2007 at 7:20 pmMADMAN Falwell MEETS MADMAN McCain–kinda like “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein”(tm)–Which is Abbott and Costello and which is Frankenstein? In other words, who is the Nut and who is The Monster? Oh, I’m sorry, THEY’RE INTERCHANGEABLE!!!!! Both Falwell and McCain are nuts and monsters–kinda like “The Meeting of the Mind-LESS!” How many people are needed to change a lightbulb? You might guess TWO, one to hold the table and one to screw in the lightbulb–but in McCain and Falwell’s case, it’s THREE TOTAL–McCain and Falwell to turn the table around while Rudy Giuliani stands on the table and holds the bulb in the socket–or is it FOUR? Also need Mitt Romney giving directions from the side! Or FIVE? Also with Sam Brownback with his hand on Romney’s shoulder(or with his finger up Romney’s ass), holding a Bible and giving religious right exhortation? HAH!
February 12th, 2007 at 8:11 pmLol I hope Falwell and McCain are exposed as lovers, then we can get rid of both of them.
