Earlier, we pointed out that Glenn Beck was "restoring honor" at his "Divine Destiny" religious revival with Rabbi Daniel Lapin. Lapin's honor-restoration bona fides include a close relationship with Republican-lobbyist/convicted felon Jack Abramoff. Unsurprisingly, Lapin was not the only controversial figure to join Beck on stage.
The last religious figure to appear at the event was Rev. John Hagee, who you may remember from earlier this summer as one of the "leaders in the faith community" that Beck held out as an example of "people that need to start standing up." Back in July, Beck plugged Hagee's "excellent" book, Can America Survive? 10 Prophetic Signs That We Are The Terminal Generation.
As I detailed at the time, Can America Survive? is an account of how the world is fast-approaching Biblical Armageddon. Hagee views himself as an expert in Biblical prophecy, and laid out several bold predictions in the book, including:
- The "very real fact" that one third of humanity will soon die in an ecological disaster.
- "The Antichrist will rule the world with the full authority and anointing of Satan himself. Satan and his legions are coming!"
-
"Why is this divine covenant for a specific land to the Jewish people so crucial in the twenty-first century? It's urgent because World War III is about to begin over the failure of humanity to recognize Israel's historic right to the land."
- "The truth is the next prophetic event that will shake the foundations of planet Earth is the rapture of the church. The word rapture is the Latin version of a phrase the bible uses to describe the catching away of all Christians, both dead and alive, on the earth at the appointed time."
When he isn't engaged in Biblical soothsaying, Hagee is busy making offensive statements:
- According to a report by The Huffington Post's Sam Stein, Hagee "argued in a late 1990s sermon that the Nazis had operated on God's behalf to chase the Jews from Europe and shepherd them to Palestine."
- In 2006, Hagee blamed Hurricane Katrina on gays, claiming that "there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades."
- Hagee once claimed that "all Muslims have a mandate to kill Christians and Jews."
- In his book, What Every Man Wants in a Woman, Hagee wrote, "Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist."
Hagee's controversial history actually led John McCain to (eventually) publicly reject his endorsement during the 2008 election.
Though the FAQ page for the Divine Destiny event mentions that leaders from "all faiths" would be represented, Hagee used the platform to attack the idea of "pluralism" and announced that we need to "begin the process of returning to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
I guess this answers the question of what Beck considers "all faiths."

Big fucking deal. Obama's pastor for 20+ years hated jews, whites and is a motherfucker to the 100th degree.
Clinton and Cuomo are the true bandits who lit the fuse to this economic crisis we're now in. All in the name of getting more minorities in houses: http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=12554

You Lefties sure are upset about how this rally went. Its hilarious.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.

HA! True dat. THAT was a cloooose association. 0bama and Wright were "family" as in "Uncle Jeremiah."
But somehow Media Matters and their gerbil's nest of Leftist hacks believe this desperate story about Hagee hurts Beck?
Brian, you and your bastion of socialist co-kooks are going DOWN.

Part of the genius of Beck's Event was it's benignity and non-confrontational presentation. How does the Left demonize it? They can't. Their game is reduced to referencing Hagee as the villain in what they hope was a subliminal "three-fer":
"End-Times Pastor [Hagee-the Fundie] Who Blamed Gays [Hate] For Katrina [Bush]"

Yeah, let's talk about Beck having some guy at the rally, not Obama being associated for 20+ years with an "ex-Muslim" pastor who rips on whites and jews ad nauseam.
And Remember that "Catholic" with the kraut name who would preach at Wrights congregation? That fucker should be taking a dirt nap if there was any justice in the world.

Dennis Miller last night offered this: 'Beck should throw the Left a real curveball, and convert to ISLAM!'
I'm still laughing at that suggestion, and what would result.

Yep, Liberal/Left/Anarchists who get after Beck for this worst than idiots; they're clinical psychotics. In the world of the hypocritical moonbat Left EVERYTHING is first filtered through a warped funhouse mirror.

It is if they say they accepted Christ. Then the sky's the limit as to the misdeeds they can do and still get into heaven.

Sometimes they are, but what it really demonstrates is the average Liberal has a huge dose of 'self loathing' thats simply bizzare.

It is bizarre. I'm just not sure if it's a resentment of "daddy" thing, indoctrination of the schools, media, culture, and having hippie-parents, but it is a self-loathing mechanism.
A friend I'd grown up with (middle class) since grammar school would have voted for McGovern if he could have in high school....and since then has become a flaming Leftist. FWIW, his parents were apolitical.
P.S. - He teaches courses at Rutgers and regards himself part of the academe's "enlightened," AND had a father who drank a bit, never bothered much with him, and always told him he'd "never amount to anything."

I can't keep track anymore.

0bama IS a Muslim, but not a serious one.
According to Muslims, 0bama is a Muslim. His name is Muslim. He attended a madrassa when he was younger in Indonesia. He admitted to George Stefanopolous of his "Muslim faith." He spoke of 57 states (the number of Muslim states.) Farrakhan has spoke of him in glowing terms. 0bama bows to Saudi Princes. He has already pronounced he would back Islam "should things get ugly." 0bama backs the Ground Zero Muslim Victory Mosque.
"Black Liberation Theology" is a hybrid pseudo-Islam with minor components of "Christian" doctrine that provides cover for Wright's fake "Christian" church.
I hope I've been able to clarify the situation for you.

So then Bush backed the victory rally at the WH on 9/26/01 when the same Imam led a prayer service at the White House?

Interesting that Bush is your standard - no wonder you're just fine with the performance of the incompetent Zero.
I believe there should be a higher standard for the office of POTUS, myself . . .
