Wasington Post Cartoon Mocks Sarah Palin's Faith

Washington Post ^

[februus]

The asinine Oliphant - phew!

[usshadley]

F the Left

[smith288]

Does Palin really have that big a boobs? Thats the real question...

[Always Right]

G-damn America. The chickens are coming home to roost. Jesus was a poor black child.

[wk4bush2004]

As a Christian who speaks in tongues, I find this cartoon extremely offensive!!! Have the liberals completely lost their minds? Or did they have any, in the first place?

Where is the respect for others?

[txzman]

Let’s hope Christians wake up and vote like Christians, not like the sheeple they usually act like.

[VeniVidiVici]

I thought Oliphant died?

Here is the official Assembly of God reaction. As a member of the Assemblies I take offense also. Can’t remember how many members we have now but I’m sure this stuff will be remembered in the voting booth.

It only motivates the base more.

[Fresh Wind]

The Washington Compost lives up to its name once again.

[Senator Goldwater]

I have the answer.

[Proud2BeRight]

The libs continue to show the nation their depravity.

[sageb1]

Appalling.

Posted on a Sunday no less!

These must be trick questions!

Assemblies of God response (excerpt)

“The cartoon is despicable,” states AG General Superintendent George O. Wood. “Millions of Christians today follow the example of first century Christians who prayed in other tongues. The Washington Post would not think of printing a cartoon that mocked members of the Muslim or Jewish faiths. It should be ashamed. Furthermore, Sarah Palin has to my knowledge never said she prays in other tongues.

[BamaDi]

Disgusting!

[StolarStorm]

Can one type in tongues?

bargg splaatttt dooba dooba.

[Grampa Dave]

NOW, NOW, NOW...THERE GOES OLIPHANT, AGAIN.

[rudy45]

Didn’t Paul say that he preferred prophesying over speaking in tongues (I Cor)? Also, if someone speaks in tongues, isn’t someone supposed to interpret? And if there’s no interpreter, the one speaking in tongues is supposed to shut up? Otherwise, as Paul said, someone will come into the church, hear everyone speaking in tongues, and will conclude that they’re crazy lol.

[stentorian conservative]

That is just about the lamest cartoon I’ve seen in awhile.

[queenkathy]

Since he said he “preferred” it, that means he also spoke in “tongues”...Good enough for Paul, good enough for me

[billhilly]

Makes you wonder what they think of hip-hop?

[don-o]

Actually, that ‘toon was originally posted on the Compost website on, I believe, Thursday. I put up a thread.

[Jeff Head]

Fools shall mock, but they shall mourn.

Hehehe...let them keep at it...they are bringing more people to Sarah's side than she and McCain could reach themsleves.

MCCAIN-PALIN TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN

[svcw]

Depends whether the “tongues” is a private prayer or corporate prayer for purposes of prophecy and edification.

[carcraft]

According to Wikipedia there are 80 million “charismatic” people in the US. Good job Oliphant. This is why Obama will lose. It will have nothing to do with race, insulting small town America, Charismatics, middle America etc, etc etc...people are watching!!

[Mike Darancette]

Obama is sending letters to God too.

[Savage Beast]

Gov. Palin has announced warning that she intends to clean up corruption. The corrupt are outraged and determined to stop her.

As Mike Huckabee observed:

"If you throw a rock over a fence, it's the hit dog that hollers."

[allmendream]

Sometimes crazy is what some people need. The holy rollers speak to some people, sometimes ‘in tongues’, so long as it leads them to our Lord.

[smith288]

I have the answer.

Todd?

[HighWheeler]

If this is all they got, then their panic is evident :

the rats got nothing.

[RobRoy]

This will be the topic of discussion in many churches throughout the nation today. I am on my way now. I was assembly of God for 18 years and never spoke in tongues. My current church is not into that stuff, But I respect the tongue thing as something I merely disagree with them on (as in - it is always possible that I am wrong).

This cartoon offends me to the core. What is even more offensive is that the sensibilities of our culture have stooped to the level that it would be considered ok to print such a thing.

I have said that this depression will be worse than the first one for one simple reason, and this cartoon demonstrates it: In the 30’s we, as a culture, had more character.

[SouthDixie]

Anger outward is fear inward, I suspect the fiberals are so worried that they need to resort to these damning tactics. Is it just me or has this election gotten wayyyyy out of hand?

[Just A Nobody]

It may be a good idea if you read I Corinthians 14 in its entirety before commenting.

Please pay particular attention to verse 39:
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and FORBID NOT to speak with tongues.

[callthemlikeyouseethem]

“Where is the respect for others?”...

in the BHObama camp it is everywhere in dialogue and nowhere in deed...;)

[lionheart 247365]

What happens when you P!$$ off Christians ??????????????????

They show up at the polls thank God . . .

[Bobalu]

[Wilhelm Tell]

The left revels in crude charicatures of Christians, be they charismatics or Catholics or anything in between. So if Palin had remained in the Roman Catholic church, the media would be full of slander against Catholics (more so than it already is). If she was, I don't know, Greek Orthodox or Presbyterian or Baptist, the media would make fun of that. But the left reveres Islam, especially its most radical and oppressive expressions. Offending Christians is a badge of honor while offending Islamists is the worst crime imaginable (well, the only worse crime is to offend gays).

I was wondering what would have happened if McCain had picked Lieberman. I think he would have been the wrong choice but the left would have responded with a barrage of crude hate right out of the Aryian Nations. It would have been revealing to those who are under the illusion that the Democrats are the party of tolerance.

[arasina]

Oliphant the omnipotent...he thinks. Mocking G_d. I can’t believe the paper would print this despicable ‘comic’.

[TommyDale]

Oliphant should keep an eye over his shoulder for a sudden lightning bolt headed his way. What a moron!

[sweet_diane]

I'm a Christian who does not speak and tongues, and I also find this horribly offensive!!

This goes way beyond political satire, IMHO.

[mylife]

Ok

[pieceofthepuzzle]

It's amazing how the left has forsaken even the thin veneer of ‘objectivity’ they tried to hide their bias with. The hypocrisy is astounding. How dare they make an issue of Palin’s religion when ‘their’ candidate sits in a church for years on end at which racial hatred and anti-US sentiment is spoken from the pulpit?

[muawiyah]

Guess the ba5+ard5 over at the Post couldn't come up with a Jewish connection for Governor Palin so they've stooped to bashing holy rollers.

This happens when they forget to pay their cocaine bill (SEE: Richard Cohen "on drug use at the Post")

[muawiyah]

They have none.

[ladyjane]

Nothing better can be expected out of Washington these days. Nothing.

[GraniteStateConservative]

I know I should know better, but I literally can’t believe they printed this cartoon. I am in total disbelief. It doesn’t seem possible that the editors are actually this stupid as to print something that doesn’t have any public discourse merit, especially public presidential discourse.

[muawiyah]

What you have to understand is that Oliphant does not "share" in American culture. He's a funny little foreigner who spent most of his life hanging upside down letting all his %h|+ flow into his otherwise empty brain cavity.

Even though he has become widely traveled, the cavity remains empty(achieving that state whenever he opens his mouth).

You should not let him near young children or animals.

[Wilhelm Tell]

I'm a Christian who does not speak and tongues, and I also find this horribly offensive!!

I think often Christians show more tolerance toward each other and toward other faiths than the secularist left shows to Christians . And I say this knowing that different Christian groups often barely speak to each other - that is still much more tolerant than the "tolerant" left! I don't believe in speaking in tongues but I don't make crude, simplistic jokes about those who do, just as I hope they don't make fun of me for not having an important sign of the Spirit. The left can exhibit indifference or intolerance but never, it seems, true tolerance.
