Someone has already diaried about some religious nut who felt he had been called by God to deliver a personal message to Sarah Palin. What's truly disturbing is that the religious nutjobs at the FreeRepublic have picked it up and are just eating it up like it's the Second Coming of Lord Jesus himself.
It would be funny if it weren't so dangerous that these people are voting for president of the United States based on such a pathetic delusion.
First, the backstory. Here are some excerpts from the religious wingnut's website:
This past Tuesday, the McCain / Palin Bus came through a little town called, Lebanon , Ohio . The LORD allowed me to go to the Rally giving them a message that He wanted me to personally deliver.
Sunday Night - a burden hit me that would only shake me to my knees - I prayed and wept for our Nation. Never has my heart been so broken before God. I literally interceded for these wonderful people who do not deserve all the hate against them. The GOD-Haters are going to try everything to stop them, but they will not succeed!
God is not pleased with the ‘bashing’ in the News of this ‘Anointed’ person. He has called her for this time! I promised God that I would pray and hold them up in prayer. I would ‘listen’ out and be mindful of where they were. The following day is important in this time-line...because I didn’t even know until God spoke to me...
...
Sarah Palin, came over to my left side...standing over the crowd and then looking at the little lady who had lost the son. It took a moment for her to shake some hands and people were pushing in all around. Sarah came and got on her hands and knees on that side of the stage and hugged that little Mom, telling her, ‘...it was not in vain.’ She promised her support.
It was at this moment Sarah Palin, reached out for me to help her up and as I was assisting her to stand I was now face to face with her and GOD said, ‘Open up your Mouth and I will fill it.’
Here is what came out...
‘God wants you to know that you are a present day Esther!’
[She immediately began to cry]!
‘God wants to tell you that you are Chosen for such a time as this!’
‘You are called, and chosen to be a leader.’
‘Don’t lose heart and don’t fear man.’
‘The news and nay-sayers and criticizers are going to be very hateful toward you... and in the days ahead they are going to turn up the heat...but do not fear.’
‘You are a present day Esther.’ You are an Esther. You are an Esther!
‘Keep your eyes on GOD and know that He has chosen you to Reign!’
‘Stay strong...be strong...don’t tire. Don’t be weary in well-doing. Be strong.’
Her husband Todd came over and I told him what I told her. He began to cry. I emphasized the fact that he was to guard her at this time...and know that ‘...she is GOD-CALLED and GOD-ANOINTED.’ ‘...this is a GOD-THING ... and your wife is a Present day Esther...she is for God to use at this time...She is an Esther...she is an Esther...she is an Esther.’
Now here are some of the reactions from the wackos at FreeRepublic:
I believe it. The fact that both Sarah and Todd began to cry when he mentioned that God had called Sarah to be a present-day Esther is proof that God is speaking that to them as well.
The same thought was confirmed in my prayers for Sarah the day of her debate. It is important to note that Esther (also part of a beauty pageant) was there to represent and speak for the remnant...her people. In history the LORD used Esther to preserve the remnant.
I just got chills. I have received e-mails from friends that are connected with people the Palin’s worshipped with, and they have said the same thing. That people have been telling Sarah Palin that God has impressed upon them to pray for her, and that she is a modern-day Esther.
Oh, Lord, hear our prayer.
I am crying now.
We are so not worthy.
God is so good. To Him all the glory.
But this one takes the cake:
I pray every night that this is true! I fear this country doesn’t deserve it in its present debauched state...
It makes me want to scream at them: OMFG, it's all you fucking morans' fault! You're the ignorant religious nuts that voted for that idiot Bush in droves!
Sorry, for that rant... I think I'm going to go have another bourbon and sit in my quiet place for a while.
