BREAKING: Tape shows Rick Warren praising Israel-hating terror state Syria as a "moderate country" t
Source: Americablog

Maybe Obama can now Sista Souljah the Jews too. That should be interesting. From Debbie Schlussel of IsraelForum.com:

he real outrage against Rick Warren is his enabling of the patron-saint-state of terrorism, Syria.

Warren gleefully visited Syria with his wife and paid homage to the Bashar Assads. And he had the gall to praise Syria as a "moderate" country. He had nothing negative to say in the least about this family that has wreaked havoc on Lebanon, worked in concert with Hezbollah and Iran, used his state as a shelter for every Islamic terrorist group imaginable, Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner, Jamil...

More:

Warren, author of "The Purpose-Driven Life," says when he visited Syria recently he saw Christians and Jews in a near-routine existence, enjoying some privileges even Muslims don't receive within a governmental structure that formally allows for faith in Christ and adherence to the Torah.

Warren then denied, repeatedly, that he had said anything of the kind. His staff removed the YouTube video that proved he said it. But then an audio turned up showing that this is exactly what Warren said. Here's the transcript, and you can listen to it yourself here:

She literally makes shit up. Gays using Schlussel as a source is like Jews using Hitler.

4. Maybe So
But if there is actual proof then who provides the proof isn't important, as long as it's the truth!

15. And what about Americablog?
The source of the story is Americablog - I suppose that is some right-wing website intended to deny truth from the American people?

Debbie Schlussel may not have a lot of credibility because of World Net Daily but just the same she seems to document a lot of what she puts out there. Including the matter of Isaam Fares. Apparently to the Bushes there are "good" terrorist supporters and "bad" terrorist supporters. The bad terrorist supporters get sent to Guantanamo. The good terrorist supporters get invited to dinner. And there he is. On the list of donors to the Clinton Foundation. Wonder if Hezbollah is on the list we haven't seen of the organizations funded by the Clinton Foundation.

When the mayor of Houston was confronted with the "rumors" about his former employer he said something about how he didn't pay attention to the personal life of his former employer. Bill White ran against a Republican. But won because the Republicans voted for him. Isaam Fares, after all, as the Houston Chronicle made a point of, was a friend of the Bushes. Never mind his support of Hezbollah. And all the Democrats, including the Jewish Democrats, saw was the (D) beside his name.

No offense but some Democrats are as mindlessly partisan as Republicans.

7. Wouldn't that be the greatest FUCK YOU of all time?
Knowing that he could finish off Warren and his followers by exposing his homophobic and anti-semitic bullshit?

If that happens, but love for Obama will return, but if this man says the prayer at the inauguration, all bets are off.

6. Palin's babygate served a purpose
it forced her to reveal her daughter's pregnancy and got her off her narrative.

11. Debbie Schlussel is one of the worst hate-mongers in America.
She published the doctored "nude" photos of Obama's late mother and called her a "slut."

I wouldn't cite that hater as a source for anything.

I am totally opposed to Warren's appearance, but it's not because of anything that Debbie Schlussel says.

Why anyone would post her Reich-wing propaganda on this site is a mystery to me. What's next? WorldNetDaily? NewsMax?
