Poor Mojo's Two Minute Hate

After viewing a scary preview on YouTube about the movie Jesus Camp, in which young, maliciously indoctrinated children appear to be worshipping a life-size cutout of George W., I was awed by some of things said on the film. Most notably, former pastor Ted Haggard, who led an evangelical church, was featured in this movie blasting homosexuality, though he recently resigned after allegedly buying a male prostitute from an online Web site and using crystal meth. Not only is this hypocritical, but it's also disgusting. He is condemning loving same-sex couples while apparently doing his share of online shopping on Rentboy.com.

Evangelicals might have struggled to organize any last-minute, formidable efforts in this past election due to consistent problems with their candidates. For example, the racist Sen. George Allen of Virginia couldn't even conjure enough of them to win back his spot, though he was certain to start out one of his speeches on election night with thanking God.

So will there be a repeat in 2008, with the Dems picking up the presidency and dominating the House and Senate? The answer is probably not. As Jesus Camp extraordinaire Becky Fischer said, "this means war," and boy is she right....

If the Democrats are smart enough they will avoid deeply offending the evangelicals. Barack Obama: 2008.
