Right Wing Leftovers – 9/26/12

  • There is an election coming, so that means we will be seeing various Religious Right coalitions organizing redundant prayer efforts.
  • CitizenLink thinks a video of President Obama talking about the importance of religious liberty is really an effort to use religion as a wedge issue.
  • Tommy Thompson says he’ll make a great Senator because “who better than me, who’s already finished one of the entitlement programs, to come up with programs to do away with Medicaid and Medicare?”
  • Newt Gingrich says Obama “is like the substitute referees in the sense that he’s not a real president. He doesn’t do anything that presidents do, he doesn’t worry about any of the things the presidents do.”
  • Apparently, illegally uploading copies of “2016” is part of an effort to “to drive viewers away from the theatrical showing of the successful documentary.” So I guess illegally uploading copies of “The Avengers” is an attempt to keep people from seeing “The Avengers”?
  • Finally, Cindy Jacobs says prayer alone isn’t enough; it must be accompanied by action, which is they are calling for “prayer activism” ahead of the election.
