Wasn't Zell a keynote speaker at one of the DNC conventions where Clinton was nominated?

They sure didn't think he was a racist then.

Zell worked for Maddox in some capacity. Others will know more.

(I humbly request you bring your friends into the prayer chain and we get a mighty voice going up to the Lord for W)

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the protection you have given to our patriotic Americans gathered in New York City this week, we thank you for the many blessings of living in this Great Nation. We lift our hands and praise You, the Almighty God, the God of All Creation, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel, the God who led Moses to the Promised Land. Father, may Your hand be upon Madison Square Garden this evening and upon our President, George W. Bush, the most powerful man in this beautiful and miraculous world you have created, a man among men, a man who does not shirk responsibility nor shy from danger, yet a man who is meek in Your Presence, a man who loves Your Son Jesus, who seeks Your face. Today we pray Your will may be his will, that his words will grace the needs of the people and uphold the highest ideals of this Nation, that he will speak his heart and not just politics, that righteousness will flow through him from You to the Spirit of the people. That Your Holy Spirit will move through the room and through the Nation as a mighty rushing wind, cleansing, renewing and uplifting. We pray that your warrior angels will be posted as sentries, as a circle of protection to deflect harm and any attempted works of Lucifer. Our trust is in You, O Mighty Lord of All, Our God, the One God, we rest in you in perfect safety, strength and calm. God, bless America. In Jesus's name, we the People pray. AMEN.

Was that Mary Lou Retton who tripped on a heel coming in? Would have been horrible if it resulted in snagging her dress like what happened to Miss Universe.

Matthews seemed quite taken aback at this concept and Simpson in his country way explains it was a quote from the WWII memorial. This stuns Chris who apologizes for "making fun of it". Simpson had chastised him for mocking it and tried to explain the idea (defense so we can exercise our freedoms).

How stupid can Chris possibly be?

Why was someone signing the prayer?

Don't they have their heads bowed?

It's beautiful and agree with above. I think the Republicans have been deliberately holding back till the opportune moment to strike.

And, Amen. :-)
