Barack Obama’s pal, the gasbag Rick Warren, really hates bloggers. In this YouTube video, you can hear Warren railing against the Netroots although he’s careful to avoid dissing the Gay.
The fun begins at the 1:50 minute point into the video.
These rightwingers can dish it out but when their intended victims throw it back in their faces, they scream and shout embarrass themselves playing the victim role. Remember Laura Schlessinger? She is the female version of Rick Warren. She bashed gays too, but when the gays turned on her employer she tried to play the victim.
I don’t understand what Warren is screeching about in the video. I mean, he’s a huge narcissist and the coverage he’s received from the blogoshere, albeit nearly 100% negative, is still attention and this is what Rick Warren lives for. He should STFU and sit back and enjoy it.
This You Tube video is a riot.
What I got from it is, here’s a man who wasn’t used to operating in the light of day and now that Obama invited him to give the invocation, suddenly the curtain has been pulled back and everyone gets to see him standing there naked.
Warren, prefers hiding in the shadows.
Tom339 is spot on. Warren is like a cockroach. Once the light is shined on his fat ass, he runs for cover.
Man, I can’t believe how badly Obama screwed up on this one. Not cool.
Is Rick Warren Jerry Falwell’s son? They look and sound so similar that I think they must have to be related. Does anyone know?
We’re heading out for Palm Springs so I won’t be posting till Friday. Merry Christmas, Christopher to you and Jim. Thanks for all you do!
Eeew! That’s difficult to watch. Very soon Warren will be looked upon as a bigoted relic who was wrong on so many things, and he will be relagated to the same place in history as the bigots who were against integration and interracial marriage.
Happy Holiday to you, and thanks for all the good work you do.
All you need to know is this: when the talking heads on FOX News cheer Obama’s choice to perform the invocation, it’s a poor decision.
We know it, too bad Obama is too pig headed to admit his error.
Rick Warren liked bloggers as long as they were kissing his fat butt but now that he is being called to account for his homophobia, bloggers have become the enemy.
What the hell was Obama thinking when he reached out to this clown?
Jesusistanis can often be amusing to watch, but we must remember that a measurable number of them are nuts. Spew like Warren’s can whip them into a violent frenzy.
I WILL sent some e-mails to Rev.Warren since he hates them. I already sent some to Obama’s people. I got your back.Take care man.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I hope you and Jim have a wonderful day and I hope Santa brings you both lots of goodies.
I also hope Obama comes to his senses and tells Warren to take a hike. The clock is ticking, so time will tell.
The Happiest of Holidays, Christopher.
Thank you for keeping me informed and educated on so many of the issues that matter to the gay community. I appreciate your efforts!
This is just bizarre. Bloggers need to get a life? No, Rick, YOU need to get a life and stop forcing your views on others and LEGISLATING my existence. STFU.
Hrmph! No vid showing….. maybe it’s best I not have to endure his rant???
Just wanted to wish you & Jim Happy Holidays.
I think Rick Warren is even scarier than the classic members of the religious right like Jerry Falwell because he manages his image with big smiles, soft beards and Hawaiian shirts.
His rant about bloggers is too funny. Warren never weighed in about them until they criticized his views. Typical.
Obama is a deluded idiot if he thinks inviting this lunatic to Washington to perform the invocation will drum up favor with the religious right.
The religious right hates Obama anyway and they’re deeply suspicious of Rick Warren.
Obama needs to think things through better than this.
In the full video message on his website, Warren says he never said that he equated gay relationships with incest, etc.
Here’s a post I wrote on it with a link to the video:
