The list: Michael Bloomberg, Hillary Clinton, Barney Frank, John Holdren (White House "science czar"), Barry Lynn (director, Americans United for Separation of Church & State), Janet Napolitano, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Arnold Schwarzenegger (?!), and Olympia Snowe. <a href="http://www.lc.org/media/9980/adopt_a_liberal.htm" target="_blank">http://www.lc.org/media/9980/a...eral.htm</a> Rev. Lynn's response was to thank them for their prayers. >>Recently, two Religious Right activists, Gordon James Klingenschmitt of Colorado and the Rev. Wiley Drake of California, have announced that they are praying for Lynn’s death. Lynn said he much prefers the approach of the Liberty Counsel.<< <a href="http://www.au.org/media/press-releases/archives/2009/10/au-executive-director-barry.html" target="_blank">http://www.au.org/media/press-...rry.html</a> ----- I think the whole thing's hilarious, especially the list of "liberals" to pray for. I also find it touching, in a way. It certainly seems more "Christian" (as I understand the term) than praying for someone's death. Still, I wonder how conservatives feel about liberal clergy praying for the nation's leaders to do more for the poor.

Originally Posted By skinnerbox Yeah, I don't get the Governator pick, either. Ah-nold's recent appointment of an anti-gay rights justice to the Appellate Court (Poochigian) definitely keeps him out of the liberal club. Maybe it's because he's married to a Kennedy? Guilt by association?
Originally Posted By mele I do not find this touching. It's so patronizing. It's more of that "loving" behavior that they insist on forcing on other people.

Maybe I should start an adopt a conservative program?
