Know Your Lying Enemy: Rick Warren disavows support for Prop. 8

California mega-church pastor and author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren says he apologized to his homosexual friends for making comments in support of California's Proposition 8, and now claims he "never once even gave an endorsement" of the marriage amendment.

Monday night on CNN's Larry King Live, Pastor Rick Warren apologized for his support of Prop. 8, California's voter-approved marriage protection amendment, saying he has "never been and never will be" an "anti-gay or anti-gay marriage activist."

"During the whole Proposition 8 thing, I never once went to a meeting, never once issued a statement, never -- never once even gave an endorsement in the two years Prop. 8 was going," Warren told the CNN audience on Monday. "The week before the -- the vote, somebody in my church said, 'Pastor Rick, what -- what do you think about this?' And I sent a note to my own members that said, I actually believe that marriage is -- really should be defined, that that definition should be -- say between a man and a woman."

However, just two weeks before the November 4 Prop. 8 vote, Pastor Warren issued a clear endorsement of the marriage amendment while speaking to church members. "We support Proposition 8 -- and if you believe what the Bible says about marriage, you need to support Proposition 8," he said.

"Know Your Enema".

Video. Endorsement.

I hate him.

Doesn't even his version of God frown on that?

His parishioners are ATMs. Warren worships Mammon. Sick bastard.

It is a two minute long, detailed endorsement and sack of spin and lies. I am amazed at his audacity to claim he never endorsed it. What a pig. Just a vile money worshiper. His word is without merit.
He is a liar.

Warren is a mendacious hatemonger. He needs to be brought down, publicly. If anyone else wants to send in the link, try using that contact. We'll see if King goes anywhere with it.

I got a robo-email back saying they did read all the entries and use them for viewer response on the show...we can hope.

I don't have cable so I don't get King, but I would appreciate knowing that he informed his viewers of the truth. thanks. :hi:

Thank you 54anickel. I'm so glad they picked back up on the story with the video. I was a bit dampened by Mike Allen of Politico rushing to defend Warren. I wonder what's up with that? DU-er Underpants posted a link to all of Allen's right wing astroturf on Politico for me in a thread last night, but this Warren apologist act is new. I'll be keeping an eye on him.

video from CNN posted too. Anderson Cooper picked it up with Mel White and Tony Perkins....

:rofl:

Do they not UNDERSTAND the whole concept?

"And I sent a note to my own members that said, I actually believe that marriage is -- really should be defined, that that definition should be -- say between a man and a woman."

Cuckoo--cuckoo.

:mad:

They pretend to be so much "kinder and gentler" in their bigotry and fucking morons buy right into it.

And we got yelled at for seeing through him right from the beginning.

He has homosexual friends?

with these religious rights types who lie about whatever? It's pretty obvious that Rick Warren DID support Prop H8. I could see him apologising to his gay friends (assuming that he actually HAS any) or to gay people in general for having supported Prop H8. His support was/is disgraceful, but why he lied about it when there is proof of that support. The only conclusion that I come to is that those who belong to the Religious Wrong in general and Rick Warren in particular are simply pathological liars.
