Pam Olsen
The other day we told you how John Stemberger, co-chair of Rick Perry’s leadership team for this week’s GOP presidential straw poll in Florida, once compared same-sex marriage to suicide (prompting one of our Twitter followers to quip, “It certainly has been for my sex life!”) But all joking aside, it turns out Perry’s other co-chair in Florida, though not as well known, appears to be just as crazy. Right Wing Watch reports that Pam Olsen heads the Tallahassee branch of the International House of Prayer, which helped put together Perry’s day of prayer in Houston in August . In July, Olsen said denominations that have allowed same-sex marriage and gay clergy are likely to blame for recent natural disasters:
“If anybody looks at the news and has just seen what’s been happening recently with the floods, the fires, the tornadoes, God is shaking. Yeah I think you have God shaking, sure you have the Enemy shaking, you have both and I don’t want to say oh that’s the judgment of God or that’s the Enemy. But the reality is God is judging us, and I think it’s going to get worse.”
As Mother Jones points out, it’s unclear why God would punish Texas with wildfires given Perry’s extreme anti-gay views.
Watch video of Olsen’s remarks below.
I can assure Gov. Perry and his idiot campaign co-chairs that gays do not cause tornadoes. As a part time storm chaser, my success rate would be much higher if that was the truth!
i AM NOT IN FAVOR OF gAY MARRAGES because it recognizes a life style that is unnatural and refered to in the Bible as animal behavor. The marrage will put a lot of young boys in danger 0f all kinds of abuse. The men who molest and kill young boy are homosexual. The priest engaged in these acts against young men are homosexual.This shows the moral decline in our country when we defend the vile behavor of men and women. I do not hate the homosexual ,only the act which they have allowed to take controll of their lives. What is next animals, young children, does sexual satisfiction make it right,I don’t think so.They are trying to ease their conscious by makeing it legal. It is hard to tell the diffrence between the acts of nature and special acts of GOD. GOD has controll over nature to use it as HE chooses. Perry would be a DISASTER for this country.
Nice wiring job in the background. I guess god can’t help you plug in an electric keyboard without creating a demonic birds nest.
