Rick Warren was on Sean Hannity's radio show this afternoon and avoided all questions pertaining to who he was picking for President, but was more than happy to find ways to criticize Obama. Before he ended his little appearance, he announced, that he had received a personal phone call from Georgian President Saakashvili.
I SAID WHAT?
Warren went on to tell Hannity that Saakashvili had called him Sunday to inform him that he had seen the Faith Forum Saturday night and it made him cry and that he appreciated everything Warren had done for him by mentioning the war and the poor Georgians. According to Warren, Saakashvili mentioned that it is the great awaking of "The Bear" and that we cannot forget about the Georgians.
Warren then proceeded to go into a request to Sean Hannity that we find a way to help the Georgians and to not stop talking about them. Hannity of course agreed to this request and went into his own dissertation about "The New Cold War".
Now I'm not a foreign policy expert by any means, but 2 questions came to mind after I heard this.
- Isn't Saakashvili a little busy dealing with an invasion? I would assume he has better things to do than to sit around and watch CNN and watch a Religious guy like Warren ask our presidential candidates about matters of faith.
- If Saakashvili really had that much time on his hands in a war zone, what interest does he really have in actually calling Warren himself and thanking him personally for mentioning his country?
This is disturbing on all fronts. Most of all, I think it is bogus. So are our news media that hell bent on making this about the next coming of the "Great Bear" Russia and the Cold War? It really blows my mind to think that the media has to fabricate lies in order to conjure up scary images.
It makes me sick to think of the audiences these people have.
