Among his mega-church pastoral brethren, the Reverend Dr. Rick Warren, is the most outspoken about worldly issues. Warren supported California’s anti-gay marriage Proposition 8 and has likened gay marriage to polygamy and incest. He is strongly anti-choice, and has equated abortion to the Holocaust. Warren also supports the assassination of foreign leaders. Appearing on Fox’s "Hannity and Colmes" on December 3, Warren agreed with Sean Hannity’s assertion that “we need to take him [Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] out,” saying that stopping evil “is the legitimate role of government.” The Hopester should disinvite this hate-filled leader of 23,000 hate-filled worshipers at the Saddleback Church in California's Orange County. Let Warren remain in SoCal on Inauguration Day to spew his hate and venom. To invite Warren and then, disinvite him, sends the appropriate message to his bigoted followers. Or, allow Warren to speak on the condition that he apologize and beg forgiveness for his hatred before the world at the Inaugural ceremony. If this is a (fair & balanced) alternative, so be it.

Killing Homophobes With Kindness
By John Sherffius
[John Sherffius began drawing editorial cartoons for the Daily Bruin, the campus newspaper at UCLA. After two years of working as a freelance artist, after graduation, he was hired by the Ventura County Star in Southern California as a graphic artist and gradually worked his way into editorial cartooning for the paper. In 1998, he was hired by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as the newspaper's editorial cartoonist, a job he held until 2003 when he quit the paper over editorial differences. Sherffius bridled at editorial insistence that he tone down cartoons attacking Republicans. Sherffius then went to work for the Boulder Daily Camera where his cartoons appear regularly and are syndicated nationally by the Copley News Service. Sherffius won the 2008 Herblock Prize for Editorial Cartooning.]
