Many people think they know what God wants and what we think, individually, is as good as what anyone else thinks.

What sexist slurs? You must hang around some really stupid people. As stupid and dishonest as Sarah was. As much as she lied and spewed moronity. There was plenty of legitimate criticisms to make of her. I didnt really see any sexist slurs.

My GOD you are stupid. How can you be so ignorant and brainwashed?

Black people make racial slurs all the time and it’s okay. Obama listened to–and by tolerating Jeremiah Wright’s hate speech for 20 years–supported it.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

WOW. Even for someone as dumb as you that was really stupid. The woman spewed hatred and divisiveness speech after speech and you want to snivel that we are mean to her? The woman is stupid and its ok to call people stupid because they are STUPID, kind of like YOU are, whether or not they are white or female. Please give up the poor oppressed white people stupidity. I am white and its embarassing. Not as embarassing as your stupidity but still pretty embarassing.

Btw, Jesus wasn’t black.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ah, OK. So what? How in the WORLD could that possibly matter?

Palin gets slammed, not because she is white or a woman, but because she is stupid. Her VP nomination was way out of her league. Palin has difficulty put two coherent sentences together.

How do you know Jesus wasn’t black? Please post a link to prove your assertion that Jesus wasn’t black

When you make a claim like that, you show your ignorance. Before you post anything online, you really need to learn to use your brain first.

It’s okay for the liberals to slam Palin, why? Because she’s white and female?

Btw, Jesus wasn’t black.

They admire Hitler, Genghis Kahn, etc. People who wrenched power by squashing everyone else. People who were ruthless in their pursuit of power and wealth. That’s why they become narcissists in their own lives even. “Family values” is a con — this is NOT a religion. It is a syndicate. It explains why the Republicans vote as one — The leaders are in the key positions on Committees. They say — you want the RNC to support your re-election campaign? You want the lobbyists to run ads for your re-election campaign? Well, buddy, this is how you vote! Oh, you think global warming IS hurting the planet? That’s too bad. Pack your bags and move back home, go to work selling cars, we’ll be supporting someone else come time for re-election.

The Republicans even SPEAK as one. Those leaders tell them, okay, well Obama’s weak spot is the stimulus bill — so every time their is a mic in front of you say something like . . yada yada yada.

It is really scary. This is why they are willing to re-write the constitution, break the law, stack the deck at the Justice Dept, “whatever it takes”.

This resignation-ready Pickering scandal, (and Sanford’s, and Ensign’s, and …), had a 5-day headstart between Madsen leaking it and Maddow airing it to millions — including tipping off Thom Hartmann who talked it up with Christy Harvey today, at the top of the show’s second hour. A week’s pre-warning and “the (Pickering, Sanford, Ensign, Coburn, DeMint, Brownback, et alii) Fellowship” still blew it — hypocrites too shackled and stumbling for a getaway, now they face being hauled away to Court and put away for good.

More than that, Madsen named names and pinpointed non-charity C Street way back before Katrina in 2005; and Sharlett’s book The Family added more indictments last year, 2008. What takes so long for congressional Ethics charges to show up, and DoJ/FBI investigators to show up, and Capital Police to show up?

Furthermore, as WMR details in years of (archived) reports, “the Fellowship,” a k a “The Family,” a k a the “Christian Mafia” coercion has cut a deeper and wider swath of influence than the modest brick house on C Street we see today — the proverbial ‘tip of an iceberg’ indicating ten times more mass below the surface. The (linked) 2005 report lays out the underground roots from 1945, and seeds before then, which have grown to “the Fellowship” and crops out in Sharlett’s book today — at least 60 years deep. And wide: All across WashDC (and beyond) are brothels and blackmail pits, like embassies recording who enters, what they say, and their predilections for room service — so-called ‘honey pots’ like got the DC Madam piles of money and bookfuls of phone numbers, like got Eliot Spitzer caught spicy red-handed — and what happens in hidden cameras, or eavesdropped emails, or C Street, stays in force on the floors of Congress when the rolls are called ‘up there’ for the Aye’s and Nay’s.

Consider then, before Maddow, (but also FYI, Rachel — luv you, luuuv your show), the backstory Madsen posted last weekend:

July 13, 2009 — EARLY EDITION. The Christian Mafia, Ensign, and Coburn

The extramarital sex scandal surrounding Senator John Ensign (R-NV) is increasingly involving the Fellowship Foundation, also known as “The Family,” and, as previously reported by WMR, “the Christian Mafia.”

According to recent news reports, Ensign’s affair with former aide Cynthia Hampton eventually involved intercession by the Arlington, Virginia-based secretive Christian cult group, the Fellowship/Family.

After Hampton’s husband, Doug Hampton, confronted Ensign’s fellow “Family” members at the Fellowship’s group house at 133 C Street on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, two sons of Fellowship leader Douglas Coe, David and Tim Coe, as well as Ensign’s C Street roommate Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), confronted Ensign about the affair and urged him to send a FedEx letter to Cynthia Hampton informing her that their relationship was over. Coe and another Fellowship member then drove Ensign to FedEx to ensure that he sent the latter. Ensign’s parents also, according to various news reports, paid $96,000 in divided hush money payments to Mr. and Mrs. Hampton, as well as their two children.

[See Reference 1. below]

The C Street group has also been tied to providing “counseling” to South Carolina Republican Governor Mark Sanford, himself mired in an extramarital affair with an Argentine woman. Sanford was also associated with the Fellowship when he was a member of the House of Representatives.

Using tax-free religion dodges, the 133 C Street house, which was once registered to the non-profit C Street Center, is now registered with the “Youth With a Mission of Washington, DC,” also a non-profit entity. The Fellowship maintains its headquarters at The Cedars in nearby Arlington, Virginia, another facility that attracts Washington’s power elite, as well as foreign dignitaries.

Richard Carver, a former mayor of Peoria and Air Force assistant secretary, is the public face of The Fellowship. serving as its president. Carver is an “artful dodger” whose main task is to divert critical attention away from the shadowy group.

It is not only the Fellowship’s involvement with the Ensign and Sanford sex scandals that has raised eyebrows but also Secretary of State Clinton’s milk-toast response to the military coup in Honduras that ousted President Manuel Zelaya, a progressive. The National Prayer Breakfast, sponsored by the Fellowship, has, in the past, attracted the right-wing elite of Honduras, including Zelaya’s predecessor, Ricardo Maduro, who was backed by the same Christian evangelical forces that forced Zelaya from power.

WMR also previously reported on another link between the Fellowship and Honduras’s right-wing through the DeMoss Foundation, which is linked to Fellowship ministry operations: …. [Material in the original omitted here.]

The Fellowship’s “Youth Corps” is also very active in Honduras.

The involvement of the shadowy and slippery Fellowship in the Ensign and Sanford extramarital scandals and its ties to the Honduran right-wing suggests that the Christian Mafia is as powerful as very before. And the advent of the Obama administration with the Secretary of State’s links to the Fellowship serves as a warning for progressive governments and leaders who may end up in the same predicament as Honduras’s beleaguered President Zelaya.

WMR first reported on Ensign’s involvement with the secretive but powerful Fellowship in May 2005:

Adding to the Fellowship’s perception as a powerful and secretive organization is its ownership of a boarding house and conference center around the corner from the U.S. Capitol at 133 C Street, SE, Washington, DC. At any given time, eight members of the Senate and House have resided at the C Street Center where they sleep, pray, and eat for a mere $600 a month. C Street Center resident Representative Bart Stupak (D-MI) claimed on his Federal Election Commission expense report that he paid the C Street Foundation $762 on December 11, 2001. Similar boarding houses have been set up by the Fellowship in London for Members of Parliament and in Moscow for members of the State Duma.

Past and current [i.e., as of 2005] residents of the C Street Center have included former Representatives Steve Largent (R-OK) and Ed Bryant (R-TN), former Representative and current Democratic Governor of Maine John E. Baldacci, Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) (Brownback is also a member of the right-wing Fascist-oriented Opus Dei sect within the Catholic Church), Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC), John Ensign (R-NV), and Tom Coburn (R-OK),Representatives Mike Doyle (R-PA), Bart Stupak (D-MI), Zach Wamp (R-TN), and former Senator Don Nickles (R-OK).

Other past members included Senators Sam Nunn (D-GA), John Chafee (R-RI), Roger Jepsen (R-IA), Charles Percy (R-IL), Strom Thurmond (R-SC), David Durenberger (R-MN), Jennings Randolph (D-WV), Paul Trible (R-VA), Phil Gramm (R-TX), William Armstrong (R-CO), Lawton Chiles (D-FL), Dan Coats (R-IN), Jeremiah Denton (R-AL), John Stennis (D-MS), Al Gore, Jr. (D-TN), and Larry Pressler (R-SD), and former Representatives J. C. Watts (R-OK), Robert Dornan (R-CA), and Tony Hall (D-OH). George W. Bush named Hall, who purported to be a strong defender of human rights, to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for World Hunger. In typical Fellowship fashion, Hall immediately began to lobby the UN on behalf of Monsanto to accept genetically-modified foods.

Other significant members of the Fellowship are Senators Charles Grassley (R-IA), Pete Domenici (R-NM), Conrad Burns (R-MT), Richard Lugar (R-IN), James Inhofe (R-OK), Bill Nelson (D-FL) (Nelson’s wife Grace serves on the Fellowship Foundation’s Board of Directors), and Rick Santorum (R-PA), Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), and George Allen (R-VA), Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL), Representatives Frank Wolf (R-VA), Tom DeLay (R-TX), Tom Feeney (R-FL), Curt Weldon (R-PA), Jerry Weller (R-IL), and Joseph Pitts (R-PA).

Friends of the Fellowship, if not outright members, include Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Jon Kyl (R-AZ), House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO), and former Senator Zell Miller (D-GA). …
