Phony-baloney blasphemous "award".

[AndyA]

1. PEACE? Shouldn't that be PIECE?

As in Biggest PIECE of SHIT?

Biggest PIECE of Work?

Largest PIECE of Crap to walk the face of Earth?

Bush IS a PIECE, but PEACE doesn't belong in the same sentence with the man's name. :(

[grannie4peace]

6. you said it all!!!

[Canuckistanian]

30. Isn't "piece" a synomym for "gun"?

Why, yes....

Piece (Military.)
a. a soldier's rifle, pistol, etc.

2. It's 1984.

War is peace. I used to have a smidgen of respect for Warren. No more.

[PatSeg]

14. Same here

I thought he was a more down-to-earth, reasonable preacher. This and that awful Saddleback McCain/Obama event indicates he is just like the rest of them. This is disgusting.

[KitchenWitch]

16. And do not forget the email to the congregation urging a Yes vote on Proposition 8

Meanwhile he has this "huge" AIDS ministry. Wonder how the gay AIDS patients being "ministered to" feel about him now.

x(

I used to have some respect for him as well. Not any more.

[rufus dog]

37. and his email in 04 saying how important it was to vote

to make sure a candidate who would nominate activist Supreme Court Justices, or supported stem cell research didn't get elected.

Or the sham of a 'Civil Forum' with McCain being sequestered in a cone of silence, just a joke, then somehow answering a three part question when Rick only got two thirds of the question out.

I have been watching him (somewhat forced) for years and can't quite figure him out. Other than the ego why push it so hard?

[amdezurik]

3. PIECE of SHIT they meant

over-paying fro drugs so his buddies make lots of cash from the program and making sure condoms are not distributed so it gets spread easily keeping the profits flowing for more decades. Yeah, what a great thing...

[Adsos Letter]

4. Looks like Warren has a pretty nice suit...

and doesn't miss too many meals.

Religion for profit must be a pretty good gig...

[KitchenWitch]

23. Mrs Warren also looks well dressed and well fed...

[AlCzervik]

5. From his church?

if that's the case then i award Warren "Biggest Charlton ever award"

[GoneOffShore]

34. Charlton? As in Heston?

(Spelling Police here)

[liberalmuse]

7. Okay, that's it. Conservatives are dangerously INSANE.

If you can get a medal of peace for mass-murdering over a million people, I imagine in their minds that Hitler is up on the throne sitting in Christ's lap. Now if you excuse me, I have to go pick pieces of my brain off the wall.

[chelsea0011]

8. Peace???? Is this a joke?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. Delusional, self-aggrandizing fucks

Who do they think they're kidding?

Do they honestly believe that if they say black is white people will believe them?

This Rick Warren asshole needs to crawl back under his rock and stay there. Some glutton he is, so it seems, for the spotlight. He does seem to think he's quite important, doesn't he? Giving out medals, just like a President.

Fuck them all. The sooner they're gone, the better.

[EC]

10. HA, someone had to make up an award for him...

since he hasn't won anything, the churchie people had to make up an award for him....ha, ha...what a joke...


Let's see if there will be a second annual award or if this is a one shot deal so * would have something to show for his time in office...

[Vickers]

27. That was exactly my thought.

Seriously, who would WANT a medal worthless enough for Wee Cowboy to earn one?

From the outset it has established a low that would be difficult to duplicate.

[lunatica]

11. It depends on what you think peace is

Some people think peace is an active thing that happens between two or more entities when they both want to cooperate, compromise and get along. Other people thin peace is something one entity imposes on another through superior military action.

The one with the bigger guns gets to impose peace. Anything else is unrealistic because man is basically evil, except for those on our side.

:sarcasm:

[TexasObserver]

12. Now, can we all agree that Rick Warren is a worthless, hypocritical tub of shit?

[Initech]

13. Apparently Rick Warren doesn't have a sense of irony.

[RadiationTherapy]

15. Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

unk.

damn.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

17. The king of the phony photo ops.

Whether it be Timken Bearings, the Mission Accomplished My Ass one where they turned the carrier away so the shoreline wouldn't be photographed, to the airplane hangar/fake control center after Katrina, this utter sham of a man accepts an award made Just For Him. I know I left out the Pig Farm, but there are so many examples, and these are but a few.

Thankfully Preznit Dress-Up-Doll is outta here soon. Eight years late, but soon.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

18. By the sheepish look on Bush's face - he's knows it's bullshit....

n/t

[xxqqqzme]

19. Is that Macy's parade balloon

warren?

[monmouth]

20. The IRS has seriously got to get involved in these churches and thier

tax exempt status. This is disgusting.

[kitty1]

21. More like the medal of terror...n/t

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. Two things I will say about Rick Warren.

1). I'm a Christian. I don;t say that to recruit more Christians or to apologize. My life, it works for me, just stating a fact.

2). I wish that I could purchase Pastor Rick Warren Saddleback Church Toilet Paper so that I could WIPE MY ASS WITH RICK WARREN.

And I'm not the ONLY Christian who feels that way.

Please, DU...when it comes to Christians, there really is no "US"...it is a PERSONAL decision...so when you think Rick Warren, say what you want to say about him, but realize one thing.

I'll take the WORST of whatever you have to say and DOUBLE it, because I cannot STAND the motherfucker.

That is all.

Peace, OUT.

:patriot:

[Bluebear]

26. You're my kind of Christian!

:toast:

[YOY]

24. Does Pastor Warren actually know the definition of "Peace"???

This is so 1984...

[Swamp Rat]

25. Here ya go:

[trusty elf]

28. Good one, Swamp Rat!

:hi:

[Swamp Rat]

29. Way'at tomeboy!

:hi: I just ate some pretzels. :D

[Bluebear]

31. OH yeah!

:applause:

[varkam]

32. It's amazing what they're giving away with Crackerjacks these days. eom

[GoneOffShore]

33. Rick Warren = Tool

And a huge schmuck - though he probably has a little one.

[Aristus]

35. "International" my ass! If it is not awarded by a multi-national, non-profit NGO

with a global mandate to work for peace through diplomacy, it ain't "International".

If it's awarded by that church, it's horseshit.

It's like me watching a bunch of DVD's with some friends at my house, and calling it an International Film Festival.

[opihimoimoi]

36. Thats it,,,no Gold Watch, No hugh Plaque, No trip to Tuva, No 12 Steaks from that mail place?

No Carving at Mt Rushmore...no renaming the Atlantic Ocean to Bush ocean...


Thats all he gets??? This $24 dollar medal from themselves?

He shoulda got nothing
