RICK PERRY DAY OF PRAYER UPDATE: Oprah, the Antichrist and sex with demons
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been calling high-level Republicans in New Hampshire to discuss his possible entry into the GOP presidential race (does anyone still think he’s NOT running at this point?). As we’ve reported, Perry is also scheduled to speak at the annual dinner of a New Hampshire group that promotes “ex-gay” therapy. And it just so happens that Perry’s top adviser, Dave Carney, sits on the editorial board of one of New Hampshire’s leading daily newspapers. Gee, whom do you think they’ll endorse?
Meanwhile, Perry has picked up another right-wing speaking engagement, at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University in September, where he’ll appear with equally nutty GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann. (Could this engagement be a preview of a Bachmann-Perry GOP ticket in 2012? Let’s hope so.) The Austin American-Statesman reports on Perry’s trip to the school founded by deceased anti-gay bigot Jerry Falwell:
Perry will address a school convocation on Sept. 14, about five weeks after he plays host to the Response, a Christian prayer and praise meeting in Houston’s 75,000-seat Reliant Stadium. Perry tapped the American Family Association, a conservative Christian advocacy group, to organize and pay for the Houston event.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner said there is no concern that the two events would lead voters to pigeonhole Perry as a one-note candidate who appeals only to social and religious conservatives.
“The governor is a man of faith and doesn’t shy away from talking about it,” Miner said.
Perry doesn’t shy away from talking about his faith, and he doesn’t shy away from associating himself with religious folks who are, quite simply, batshit fuckin’ crazy — people like Mike Bickle and C. Peter Wagner, who’ve both now endorsed Perry’s Day of Prayer in Houston on Aug. 6. Bickle believes Oprah Winfrey is the precursor to the Antichrist, and Wagner believes Japan is possessed by a demon who had sex with the country’s emperor. Seriously.
Via Right Wing Watch, below is video of Rachel Maddow’s report last week on Bickle, followed by video of Wagner’s explanation from 2009 of his emperor-demon sex theory.

I’m all for Perry running for President (and losing) just as long as he doesn’t take the KBH approach and keep his Governor gig to fall back on when he loses …if that can even be done.
Alright Mr. Perry! Texas schools are in shambles, the state’s economy is in the worst shape ever, the gays are trying to push through an agenda (well, not really, but it makes for a good story line) and you’re getting ready to hit the campaign trail instead of staying in Austin and doing your job. Works for me. With any luck, you’ll lose on campaign trail and provide the perfect opportunity for Texas to elect a REAL governor. I never thought I’d say it, but I’m proud of you.
Governor Perry is guilty!! Guilty! Guilty! Guilty by association with a Christan who once said something odd. But not Obama. Obama is not guilty for sitting directly under man for twenty years who is a full blown rackets pig. Hypocrites……..
Oprah is not “the Antichrist”.People(Oprah inclusive)trigger the antichrist when they reject Christ and His Words:http://bre.ad/0e5kx7
@Exposer Perry is guilty of being a nut because he invited all these idiots to speak. Demons? Sex Gods? Really? There is a really big difference between thinking your government has screwed you and believing this stuff.
