The Straight Jacket Award For 4/26/10: At Least They Didn't Call Him The Devil

Seriously:

On Saturday, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) and several other elected officials boosted Fox News host Glenn Beck at an event at the Oil Palace in Tyler, TX. The day was full of right-wing flame-throwing, including Perry saying that he was “proud” to be in an “army” of anti-Obama Americans. Another prominent theme during the event was that the country has “drifted far away from its founding values”:

Gov. Rick Perry, U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, and state Rep. Leo Berman also spoke, all delivering similar messages.

Berman told the crowd, “I believe that Barack Obama is God’s punishment on us today, but in 2012, we are going to make Obama a one-term president.”

Their punishment, our blessings I guess.

Then again, a punishment from God is also a Blessing. Or for them, they should see it that way if they are good Christians.

Just for that alone, Rep Berman earns his first...........
