At the How to Take Back America conference this past weekend in St. Louis, I heard Rev. Rick Scarborough, a conservative pastor and author who endorsed Mike Huckabee’s 2008 presidential campaign, express outrage at a video of New Jersey schoolchildren singing a song praising President Obama. After his speech, I asked him what had disturbed him about the video.
“Whether he is spawning these things or people are spawning them, it’s a kind of human worship which I believe is dangerous,” said Scarborough. “You go back through history, every dictatorship — when we conquered Iraq, what’d we do? We tore down statues all over the place of Saddam Hussein. These dictators are all, in the absence of worshiping the true God, they almost insert themselves as if they were God. You turn to me and I’ll be all you need.”
Scarborough also suggested that Obama was using his middle name “Hussein” more often now to “reach out to Muslims worldwide.”
“I think it’s a dangerous trend,” he said.
Watch the video after the jump.

Godless manifesto from 1965 musical “The Sound of Music”:
Captain: Is there a more beautiful expression of what is good in this country of ours than the innocent voices of our children?
Zeller: Oh, come now, Baron, would you have us believe that Austria alone holds a monopoly on virtue?
Captain: Herr Zeller, some of us prefer Austrian voices raised in song to ugly, German threats.

Yet another thing Obama has in common with Hitler: Hitler wasn't a natural born U.S. citizen either.

Red, your tacit approval of the smear addressed by this article is duly noted

Oh, you mean like General Peter Pace going on record that he thought Bush sat at the right hand of God Hisself when he embarked on his Crusades to bring Christianity to those heathen Muslims at the end of a gun barrel? That kind of deification of political figure?
Or is it death to all the Muslims by any means necessary just fine with you freaks?
I say, if he wants to be a political commentator, strip him of his tax exempt status.
