Oh Puke! Rick Warren to Deliver Obama Invocation

Rick Warren of Saddleback Church has been tapped by Obama to give the inaugural invocation. WTF? Rick Warren? He’s basically James Dobson in Dr Phil’s goatee. In 2004 Warren declared that marriage, reproductive choice, and stem cell research were "non-negotiable" issues of Christian voters, yet those things were part of Obama’s platform!

Here’s what Rick Warren had to say to Belief.net about Prop 8 and gays:

And the reason I supported Proposition 8, is really a free speech issue…Most people know, I have many gay friends. I’ve eaten dinner in gay homes. No church has probably done more for people with AIDS than Saddleback Church. Kay and I have given millions of dollars out of Purpose Driven Life helping people who got AIDS through gay relationships. So they can’t accuse me of homophobia. I just don’t believe in the redefinition of marriage.

I smelled some very not so veiled homo-hatery here.
