Politico's Ben Smith takes note of a report in the Iowa Independent, on a McCain event in Davenport, Iowa this morning:
Before McCain’s arrival, a minister delivering an invocation said, “There are plenty of people around the world who are praying to their god, be they Hindu, Buddah, or Allah, that (McCain’s) opponent wins. I pray that you step forward and honor your own name.”
The mis-spelling of Buddha, by the way, is not mine but that of the blogger, John Deeth. And it looks like that minister thinks Hindu is the name of a god. On the positive side, at least he didn't say "Hindi," right? Or Kali.
But wait, it gets better. According to the AP, the minister then added:
"And Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day," he said.
So whose god is bigger? Please to comment.
