Bachmann Tells Hagee’s Flock About Obama’s Love Affair With Evil Muslims

In between accusing fellow Minnesota U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, ignoring condemnation from GOP bigwigs who finally acknowledged that their crazy-eyed superstar had gone way too far with her anti-Muslim fearmongering, and chitchatting with the ever-credulous Glenn Beck, Bachmann last week also served as keynote speaker at the annual summit of Christians United for Israel (CUFI).

Christians United for Israel is a Christian Zionist outfit run by John Hagee, an evangelical minister whose endorsement John McCain rejected in 2008 after Talk2Action’s Bruce Wilson made it public that in the mid-2000’s, Hagee had given a sermon claiming that Hitler was a “hunter of the Jews,” sent by God to shoo the Chosen People back to Israel where God said they’re supposed to live.

Speaking before a wildly excited crowd, Bachmann proclaimed that Jerusalem is “the eternal capital of Israel” and called on the U.S. to move its embassy there, then suggested (again) that the Obama administration is in cahoots with the Muslim Brotherhood and maybe even (gasp!) Iran.

Railing against Obama’s willingness, at the beginning of his presidency, to sit down for talks with Iran (and totally ignoring the sanctions the U.S. and other U.N. powers have imposed since then), Bachmann said, “If the president thinks Iran can be trusted, then we have to ask quite seriously, then who does he think is our enemy?”

SHOULD be to make itself irrelevant. It would seem, by that standard, that the various and assorted religions of American Christian Fundamentalism have failed miserably.

His "sermon" was that Jesus Christ was really a wealthy man who wore fine clothes and lived in a mansion with many servants.

My jaw hit the floor.
