support of the 'Ranting Rev' By Rick Bishop
Barack Obama--aka "Judas"; aka "Mickey Rat" April 29, 2008--What if someone you had loved and supported for twenty years had, in order to advance his career, publicly ridiculed you? What if you had taken this person under your wing, had, in a sense, adopted him? How would his betrayal make you feel? Furthermore, what if that person's denunciation of you consisted of lies? What would you do? What if you were both "public people"? Say you're a pastor, and this other is running for political office, President of the United States, for instance. This person calls you, in a speech garnering world-wide attention, "a crazy old uncle." He calls your deepest beliefs, beliefs you thought you shared with this disloyal individual, "despicable." What if this person became the darling of not only the nation, but a good portion of the world, was hailed a visionary, while you, largely because of this person's ambitions, were declared a rascal and your life's work denigrated and as a result your reputation was ruined? What if, because of this ambitious politician, you had become a joke? What would you do? Would you defend yourself, or crawl away to a dark corner in order that this fraud, this disgusting individual who has already called his own 86-year-old grandmother a racist, can go on to greater heights? What if you defended yourself and were excoriated for it? What if a large number of the members of the news media kept asking over and over, "Why is Reverend Wright doing this to poor Barack?" What would you do? James Carville would probably call him "Judas," as he did Barack's buddy, the Governor of New Mexico. I'd call him "Mickey Rat." The News Lampoon--Twisted News, Humor & Satire
