Cable News Covering The DNC With Republican Cue Cards

Bob Cesca, Huffpost

The DNC coverage this week definitely appears to follow a preordained law: When the Republicans attack, repeat the attack over and over. When the Democrats attack, attack the Democrats. It explains everything we're observing on cable news this week. When the McCain campaign latched onto this silly "Greek pillars" story, Drudge picked it up and, because he's America's Assignment Editor, it's all we heard about on cable news. Rather than ignoring the desperate attack as nonsense, or debunking it with a wide variety of photos of Sen. McCain speaking in front of Greek pillars, cable news is, once again, performing with Republican cue cards.

McCain's largest crowd to date has been only 3,000 people?

John Aravosis, Americablog

Geez, no wonder the McCain campaign has been trying to demonize Obama as too popular. Apparently no one likes McCain at all, so now the McCain campaign is trying to turn voter ennui with Meh-Cain into a positive. Funny, but we just went through eight years of a president that nobody really liked. How'd that turn out for you?

The McCain campaign is hoping to have 15,000 people at the Ohio rally — roughly five times the size of his largest crowd to date.

Theocratic Sect Prays for Real Armageddon

By Casey Sanchez, Southern Poverty Law Center

.....Rick Joyner, a pastor whose books, The Harvest and The Call, helped popularize Joel's Army theology by selling more than a million copies each, goes the furthest on Elijah's List in pushing the hardliner approach. In 2006, he posted a sermon called "The Warrior Nation -- The New Sound of the Church," in which he claimed that a last-day army is now gathering and called believers "freedom fighters."

"As the church begins to take on this resolve, they [Joel's Army churches] will start to be thought of more as military bases, and they will begin to take on the characteristics of military bases for training, equipping, and deploying effective spiritual forces," Joyner wrote. "In time, the church will actually be organized more as a military force with an army, navy, air force, etc."........

.....This March, at a "Passion for Jesus" conference in Kansas City sponsored by the International House of Prayer, or IHOP, a ministry for teenagers from the heavy metal, punk and goth scenes, Engle called on his audience for vengeance.

"I believe we're headed to an Elijah/Jezebel showdown on the Earth, not just in America but all over the globe, and the main warriors will be the prophets of Baal versus the prophets of God, and there will be no middle ground," said Engle. He was referring to the Baal of the Old Testament, a pagan idol whose followers were slaughtered under orders from the prophet Elijah.

"There's an Elijah generation that's going to be the forerunners for the coming of Jesus, a generation marked not by their niceness but by the intensity of their passion," Engle continued. "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Such force demands an equal response, and Jesus is going to make war on everything that hinders love, with his eyes blazing fire.".......

The Healing of America

Ron Mann, Ph.D.

......Barack Obama is the culmination of his development. He teaches acceptance, tolerance, respect and unity. His is the blend of several cultures and races. He embodies what he teaches; it is encoded in his cellular structure. He is showing us the power of respect. He can disagree with others and still continue to be in relationship. He does not have to separate, disrespect and reject those who have different opinions or values. He does not have to use fear and anger to gain power. Even Sun Tzu in The Art of War suggested that you stay close to your enemies. Better yet, Paramahansa Yogananda teaches, "Make your enemies your friends." Disrespect, anger, rejection and fear only lead to sorrow and tragedy. America has had enough of this!

We have had eight years of a political consciousness that has dragged us down. It has been driven by fear, suspicion, deception and rigidity. "If you are not with us, you are against us!" If you don’t agree with us and speak your mind, you are against America! The greatest force of delusion is fear!! Hope, trust and love are the forces of awakening and expanding consciousness. Barack Obama ignites a higher spark in those who listen. His words have power because he opens the field to uplift and invite others to participate in a higher vision for America and the World. ........
