Keyes’ running mate:
Tiller murder “answer to prayer”
"I
am glad George Tiller is dead," Wiley Drake says
Given
Alan Keyes’ descent
into Birtherdom and his recent anti-abortion
protest at Notre Dame, which featured dolls covered in fake blood, it
should be no surprise that the man hangs out with something of an eccentric
crowd. Turns out it’s sort of violent, too.
Last
year, when Keyes ran for president (yes, he ran, sorry if you didn’t notice),
he had Wiley Drake as his running mate. Tuesday, Right Wing Watch noted
that Drake, who’s also served as the second vice president of the Southern
Baptist Convention, has been celebrating the murder of abortion provider George
Tiller. “There may be a lot who would say, ‘Oh that is mean. You shouldn’t be
that way,'” Drake said on his radio show. “Well, no, it’s an answer to prayer.”
He went on to explain:
Would you have rejoiced when Adolf Hitler died during the war? … I
would have said, “Amen, praise the Lord, hallelujah, I’m glad he’s dead.”
This man, George Tiller, was far greater in his atrocities than
Adolf Hitler. So I am happy. I am glad that he is dead. Now I am sad that he
went to hell, because he had a choice just like everybody else did. He could
have chosen Jesus Christ and when he died went to heaven. But he chose the
devil. He chose to neglect, he chose to reject Jesus Christ. And therefore on
Sunday morning when he breathed his last breath there in the Lutheran church,
he breathed his last breath, and he slipped into the presence of the devil. And
I have a strange hunch and a strange feeling that there is a special,
superheated, super-hot place in hell for people like George Tiller.
