God Wants To Kill People To Make A Political Statement On Behalf of Democrats?

Apparently, that’s what Buffalo Pundit believes:
…a major hurricane is now barreling towards New Orleans, almost 3 years to the day after Katrina hit. Gustav will most certainly disrupt some of the hilarity in St. Paul, and so many people will be reminded over and over of the Bush Administration’s “heckuva job” back in 2005.
Perhaps God heard all of these cynical, hateful “prayers” and decided to teach the faithful a lesson.
It is interesting that he made this statement after it was revealed that former Democratic National Committee Chairman Donald Fowler was laughing and joking about Hurricane Gustav while flying home on a plane. Specifically he said “The hurricane’s going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. [Chuckle] The timing is — at least it appears now that it’ll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that God’s on our side. [Laughter] … Everything’s cool.”
Everything’s cool for Democrats, even a potential national tragedy, as long as they think they can use it to their political advantage.
UPDATE: So far, a reported 7 deaths related to Gustav… Must be God working on behalf of the Democratic Party, right?
Well, actually I wrote that post on Sunday night and post-dated it to post while I was away from the computer, so I didn’t hear what Fowler did or didn’t say.
Secondly, the point of the post, as you well know, was to point out the hypocrisy and foolishness of supposed people of faith using prayers to God to wish unpleasant things on others. In this case, one of Dobson’s minions asked people to pray for misfortune to befall Democrats - for what reason, again?
Thirdly, I’m sure that your righteous indignation is equally reserved for cases when spokesmen for what is now the Christianist base of the Republican Party claim that Katrina was really God’s punishment for debauchery in New Orleans or that 9/11 was caused by abortionists and the ACLU.
Right? Just by way of reminder, the Republican base blamed liberals - not bin Laden - for 9/11.
