Personally, we haven’t heard too much from the “Obama is a Muslin” contingent lately, but maybe that’s because a. we haven’t been proactive in seeking them out, and b. we’ve been too busy doing other things?

Whatever the case, we’re heartened to see that the next generation is picking up the baton from their teabagging elders and exploring 2008′s top superstition in innovative ways. Par example: Check out this video discovered by the folk(s?) at Show Christ’s Love, in which some youngsters try to save the president from, uh, Christianity, by praying all over a cardboard cutout of Him him. Obama needs a “life turnaround,” one of the kidd’ohs says.

Wonder if it worked. Guess we’ll know if Obama stops praying at mosques and starts going to church.

The board lawyered up and grieved that they couldn’t force English to take Jesus the corporate whore down. That pesky First Amendment again! English writes:

After I spoke, a wave of angry Christians took their turns at the mike. One woman wanted to know why she couldn’t paste up the photos of dead fetuses that she routinely held up at the health clinic. Others wanted to know what gave me the right to comment on the most powerful religion on the planet. And one board member expressed outraged that I was promoting crack… to the children…

Then a self-professed stateside noncombat post traumatic stress-afflicted veteran informed me that he had notified Miller High Life about my offensive parody of their brand…

Now everyone’s happy. They especially loved the authentic Chinese propaganda poster. It has children… and fruit… and was state-sanctioned… by communists.

What an awful drug-peddling heretic! How dare he present simple visual ideas to people incapable of grasping them? A post traumatic stress-afflicted vet taking up arms against a post traumatic stress awareness poster is quite sad, but it’s also pretty tragic that these humorless drips are going through life immune to irony and farce.

“Crack” replaced with “BP.”

Here is a heart-warming story of true Christian fellowship at Christmas. Remember a few days ago when Sen. Tom Coburn called on his fellow wingnuts to pray that a Democratic Senator would drop dead, thus making them unable to vote to break the filibuster on the health care bill?

Well the wingnut masses definitely took it seriously and did some hardcore praying to Jesus, and when one Republican Senator (James Inhofe) didn’t show up for the vote afterward, this one wingnut was sure that God got confused, as God often does, and misunderstood the pleas for help from his flock and inadvertently killed a Republican instead of a Democrat. So the wingnut called in to C-Span and started to cry over God’s potential blunder.

My only wish is that the host would’ve responded by saying, “Yeah, Inhofe’s dead…pray harder next time numbnuts.” Also, how ridiculous is it that it’s virtually impossible to tell whether or not this was a prankster due to the fact that the right-wing in this country has become so ridiculous that it’s entirely plausible that this could be legit?

Oh hey did you hear the Senate passed a health care reform bill last night at 1am? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s a shit bill that everybody hates, but hey they did SOMETHING, so now they can all go home for Christmas and brag about that. Oh, and then there’s this:

In the hours leading up to the vote, renowned Jesus freak/leviathan Republican asshole Tom Coburn asked his fellow Jesus freaks out there in Americaland to pray “that somebody can’t make the vote tonight.”

Of course, Coburn was probably referring to 867-year-old Senator Robert Byrd, but perhaps he was implying that with a little prayer muscle, maybe God would make Harry Reid’s limo skid off of an icy road and into the Potomac?

Reports the Washington Post:

At 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon — nine hours before the 1 a.m. vote that would effectively clinch the legislation’s passage — Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) went to the Senate floor to propose a prayer. “What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight,” he said. “That’s what they ought to pray.”

It was difficult to escape the conclusion that Coburn was referring to the 92-year-old, wheelchair-bound Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) who has been in and out of hospitals and lay at home ailing. It would not be easy for Byrd to get out of bed in the wee hours with deep snow on the ground and ice on the roads — but without his vote, Democrats wouldn’t have the 60 they needed.

Afterward, Senator Dick Durbin called Coburn out on it…

Tom Coburn gives Christianity a bad name.

Groups like the American Family Association have previously called for Best Buy to burn in the eternal hell-fires of Hades for using Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas in their advertising, so I guess the Christians will just have to buy all of their fancy electronic do-hickeys at Walmart, which is the way Jesus wanted it it all along anyway. |Brand Week|

The diligent servants of God from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, famous for their endearing “God Hates Fags” and “Jews Killed Jesus” campaigns, are in the Washington D.C. area today to protest outside of Sasha Obama’s school because she and her sister are the “Satanic spawn” of a “murderous bastard.”

Yesterday the group led a similar protest outside of Malia Obama’s school. Fuck yeah Christianity! |Huff Po|

A man from Texas, naturally, has been carrying a 12-foot cross while on a leisurely stroll from Longview, Texas to Aberdeen, Washington. The man says that “he was praying about his troubled past when he received a message to start walking on a journey of renewal.” He’s also hoping that his cross-country cross-bearing journey will convince his estranged old lady that he’s a reformed man. |Seattle Times|
