A graphic television advertisement pleading for aid to Israel, which has recently run during Countdown with Keith Olbermann and other cable shows, is the product of a group with close ties to neoconservatives, the right-wing evangelical community and former associates of Jack Abramoff.

The ad follows the standard pattern of most conservative fundraising appeals -- after first creating a sense of panic, it then assures viewers they can help by sending money. It begins with a female voice intoning, over what appears to be stock footage of wounded Israelis, "This nightmare is very real, a daily horror happening now for those living in Israel near Palestinian Gaza."

1. Wasn't Hagee the one who said that Hitler was doing "God's work?"

I knew there was something fishy about those ads...

7. Yep.

The Jews had to return to Israel before Christ could return, and since Israel became a nation in the aftermath of the Holocaust and WWII, then Adolf must have been acting as an agent of God's will. :wow:

Even McCain dumped his ass over that one!

2. I saw it during Keith and it...

3. do they really want to bring about their version of end times?

6. That is EXACTLY what they want.

Hagee has pretty much admitted on his own TV show that he wants Israel and/or the US to attack Iran, so Russia, Iran, and all the other Islamic countries will team up to attack Israel, fulfilling the prophecy of Ezekiel 38/39, which (according to the "Left Behind" wing of fundie teaching) will shortly proceed the Rapture and the kickoff of the 7 year Tribulation reign of the Antichrist and following that, the return of JC Himself.

And since Hagee barely escaped death with an emergency quadruple bypass in October, he's even more determined to help the Lord push up the timetable, so he'll be around to see it. Or at least the pre-rapture parts, since he figures he'll be checking out then.

8. Sadly for John and his flock, the hot air that emanates from them

will fry the earth long before Hey-sus is gonna swing by.

4. I saw one of those disgusting things.

Good to know who is behind it.

5. That's pretty much the sort of person who would support this action.
