Film to be featured in Rick Perry rollout created by an atheist

[rug]

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is slated to feature a video at his Saturday presidential announcement that includes religious statements and scenes of a family at prayer.

That wouldn’t be unusual for Perry — the devout Christian who last week led a massive, day-long prayer rally in Houston — but for the video’s producer: an avowed atheist.

Minnesota filmmaker Michael Wilson — best known for his 2004 documentary film “Michael Moore Hates America” — told POLITICO that Perry “built a part of his announcement speech around it, which is amazing – I had no idea it would turn into this.”

In the video, a man, woman and two tow-headed children, eyes closed, fold their hands and pray around a table as a narrator says, “No matter what they’re raised to believe, my children should know that faith is none of the government’s business.”

1. A man with no principles makes a political video. Quelle surprise.

2. Oh, he has principles.

Wilson says he supports Perry for president largely because of his economic record.

“Economically, you can’t disparage him in any way. You can’t dispute what he’s done as governor in Texas,” Wilson said.

3. The man is an idiot

And has no clue about the reality of the situation in Texas...I think Perry is trying to get out of Texas before the people there realize the truth of the cuts and job losses that are coming!
