"You helped this happen..."
Filed under: John McCain
If the Rev. Wright videos are going to be bouncing around the ether and onto our television screens for the foreseeable future, might as well get this one in the mix: Rev. Jerry Falwell in conversation on the 700 Club with Pat Robertson--just two days after the 911 attacks and one day before Wright's now famous "chickens coming home to roost" remarks.
Here you go:
And here's a transcript:
JERRY FALWELL: And I agree totally with you that the Lord has protected us so wonderfully these 225 years. And since 1812, this is the first time that we've been attacked on our soil and by far the worst results ... God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.PAT ROBERTSON: Jerry, that's my feeling. I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do to the major population.
JERRY FALWELL: The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this.
PAT ROBERTSON: Well yes.
JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen."
PAT ROBERTSON: Well, I totally concur
John McCain famously called Falwell and Robertson "agents of intolerance." As the shoe-in nominee for the Republican Party in 2008, he's said he no longer believes that to be true, and even delivered the commencement address at Falwell's Liberty University last year.
Like it or not, Barack Obama will no doubt be answering for Wright's words for as long as his campaign lasts. Will McCain have to answer for his pastor connections?
Stephen Colbert handled this issue with typical efficiency this week...

Hate speech is hate speech. Unfortunately for Obama, he condoned this hate speech for twenty years in HIS church. Robertson ran for president and didn't have a prayer in the world of getting elected. History is repeating itself.
