I guess it has been a while since we caught one of these guys in a wetsuit or in a park bathroom sting, so the moralizing blowhards are out in force again:
President of the conservative National Clergy Council and Evangelical leader, the Reverend Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK), who met Sarah Palin when he was a VIP guest at her first appearance with John McCain in Dayton last week said today that her daughter’s pregnancy is “none of our business,” and commended Barack Obama for saying so.
“This is a private family matter. The Palins, especially their teenage daughter, are entitled to privacy on this matter. Anyone who cares about young people will back off and give this young woman the space she needs. Anyone who exploits her for political or commercial gain is disgraceful.”
I agree. I just wish Schenck would take his own damned advice:
Rev. Schenck protesting.
In response to today’s action, the Christian Defense Coalition and the National Clergy Council issued a national call to “the faith community and people of good will” to travel to Florida to pray and plead for Terri Schiavo’s life.
“A society has sunk to it lowest when it abandons the sick and helpless,” Rev. Rob Schenck, president of the National Clergy Council. “Should this prove the end of the line for Terri and her loving family, this will be a deep shame that our country will carry for a terribly long time.”
Schenck was up to his neck in the Schaivo affair, publicly meeting with the lunatic doctor who claimed Schaivo could be rehabiliated (the one who Hannity informed us had won a “Noble Peace Prize In Medicine,”), being arrested for protesting outside the hospice, then publicly questioning the autopsy, claiming that doctors are human and often make mistakes.
Privacy, not really a concept these guys understand, but one they are always demanding when it fits their needs.
