Senator Joseph Lieberman is scheduled to headline Pastor John Hagee’s 2008 Christians United For Israel Washington-Israel Summit this July 22. In accepting Hagee’s invitation, Lieberman became the most senior elected representative confirmed to appear at the annual gala. Last year, when Lieberman spoke at Hagee’s summit, he compared the Texas televangelist to the biblical prophet Moses, dubbing him “an Ish Elochim,” or “a man of God.” Unless he rescinds his pledge to appear at this year’s summit, Lieberman can be expected to deliver another soul-stirring tribute.
John McCain has denounced Pastor Hagee, but Joe Lieberman, who has been attached to McCain’s elbow on his campaign trail (and rumored to be McCain’s pick for VP), apparently has not. What’s up with that?
How extreme is Hagee? And how cozy are he and Lieberman? Watch this video by Bruce Wilson of Talk2Action.org to find out.

So, do Hagee and Lieberman think the tornadoes tearing up rural mid-west towns are the work of god? Is god punishing these people for going to church and being republican?

I would guess they read into any event or occurrence whatever suits their purpose or furthers their opinion.

Spudge – could it be the gods striking back on those that voted for the boy Bush? Could it?
Lieberman and Hagee are both di*k heads.
