Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren will deliver the invocation at Obama’s inauguration next month. Leftists groups are angry and upset.
Obama’s inaugural choice sparks outrage
Prominent liberal groups and gay rights proponents criticized President-elect Barack Obama Wednesday for choosing evangelical pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at the presidential inauguration next month
Warren, one of the most influential religious leaders in the nation, has championed issues such as a reduction of global poverty, human rights abuses and the AIDS epidemic.
But the founder of the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, has also adhered to socially conservative stances — including his opposition to gay marriage and abortion rights that puts him at odds with many in the Democratic Party, especially the party’s most liberal wing.
The tolerance of the Left is on display. They hate Christians and want to do anything to silence Christians. I bet if Obama had selected a Muslim Imam, the Left would applaud! Tolerance for anyone except Christians!
