Rev. Bubba uses Billy pulpit to bash Bush
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/story/227091p-195037c.html

Bill Clinton hammered Republicans from a Manhattan church pulpit yesterday as a group of right-wingers bearing "false witness" against the Democrats.

The attack was part of a two-pronged assault yesterday by the former President and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), marking the unofficial launch of the Democrats' counter-offensive during the GOP convention.

In a scripture-laden speech, Clinton also said controversial attack ads against Democrat John Kerry's military record were the same "smear" that was used on Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and former Democratic Georgia Sen. Max Cleland, both Vietnam vets, within the last four years.

"It's wrong to demonize and cartoonize one another, and to ignore evidence, and to make false charges and to bear false witness," Clinton told the congregation at Riverside Church.

"Sometimes I think our friends on the other side have become the people of the Nine Commandments," he added.

15. They've tossed out Thou Shalt Not Kill
or at least amended it to read "thou shalt not kill little fetuses, everyone else is fair game"

and You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me, seems to have been amended to add "but Mammon is my good bud, and you can do anything he says in my name"

'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.' really needs no further comment. Although if I felt compelled to comment - there's a whole book in repukes actions on this one.

'You shall not commit adultery.' *snicker*

'You shall not steal.' HAHAHAHAHA

'You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour's.' - Republicans follow this one? Fuhgedaboutit!

16. Big dogs usually don't.
When they do, people take notice. That's why we call him the Big Dog.

9. "Truth" is,...FACTS are our dirt/water/sand against brimstoning fire
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 09:14 PM by Just Me
,...created by those who seek to enhance their own power rather than serve the best interests of humanity.

We have both the right and the power to assert our belief that, all things are possible and (a message to all you power-clinging, high-living, "Bible-thumping", PURISTS - BWAHAHAHAHAHA) Jesus promised that us "powerless" ones will accomplish even greater things than He.

On edit: God spoke to me, just now,...and told me that those who "use" his "name" to empower themselves will be sent back to this life to fully endure the torture they brought upon others. A-M-E-N!!!!
