Pastor at McCain Rally Says Non-Christians Want an Obama Win
------------------------------------------------------------



The inflammatory rhetoric continued over the weekend. On Saturday, a
local Christian pastor in Iowa called for God to deliver a victory for
the Arizona senator during his invocation at a Mc Cain rally. Pastor
Arnold Conrad said, “There are millions of people around this world
praying to their god, whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah, that his
opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will
guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their god
is bigger than you, if that happens.” On Sunday, Mc Cain made headlines
when he said he was going to “whip” Obama’s “you know what” in
Wednesday’s debate.
