Interesting article about the San Antonio power pastor...http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/46753/

DTS: John Hagee is a charlatan at best and deceiver at worst! That, from my frame of reference, is irrefutable! But, in my wildest dreams, I wouldn't believe for a moment this man has any influence over Bush. He runs a "bully pulpit" and the bile rises up in my throat when I see his ilk! But,in another context, he is no different than George Soros in throwing around power and trying to influence events. This is in reference to Pgardns statement that the religious right has to be scrutinized. Does Soros get a free ride because his faith is not declared? Just something to think about.

Timm,
Both very scarey. I don't know, but I'm guessing that Hagee has more ears than Soros.
I'm thinking about "power", and "faith".
You might know much more about this than I do.
Ain't no "free rides"...NONE!

Do you seriously think that a church charlatan has more power and influence that a billionaire activist? Come on,buddy, it's not that cold in NY!

Timm,
Are you really serious? Are you "baiting"?
Come on buddy! Tell me about the "church charlatan" that swore a pledge to poverty, served in Hitler's Youth, pissed off the Islamic world.
Soros doesn't compare. You must be spending too much time out in the sun, getting your brain fried with all the heat.
Billionaire activist? LOL!
Nothing compared to the fervent beliefs of the believers.
Come on buddy.
Not too cold to see through the frosty panes.
btw...did you catch the "Frontline" pbs show about the cover-up in the Roman Catholic Church this past week? Astounding!
Soros doesn't compare.
Only truth does, as it always will.
Makes 'em stand naked before the lies.
Shiver, shiver.
Where the heck are the clothes?

The rhetoric is blinding me! Just speak plainly...I gave you my take on Hagee. Whatever your point may be, explanding it to include the Pope is counter productive. George Soros is a megalmaniacal billionaire activist...you DO read papers,right?

Timm,
Your take on Hagee seems correct. I was waiting for Pat to weigh in.
Seems to me that the Pope has a wider audience, but heck, what so I know?
Soros...small change in my humble view.
Yes, I read papers. Yes, I speak as plainly as possible.
Speech impediment and all.
Thankth for your responths.

DTS: The Pope does have a larger audience theoretically, mostly outside the US. I'm probably going out on a limb, but the Catholics concentrate mostly on pro-life and family issues, politically speaking. I'll take some of Soros small change but Al Franken and "Mr. Internet" Gore have already hit his pocketbook. You have a flair for the dramatic...don't deny it!
