Gotta disagree with Sully on Rick Warren

Andrew Sullivan may or may not be right that gay animosity toward Barack Obama’s choice of Rick Warren for the inaugural invocation is misguided. But, whether right or wrong, Warren’s disagreements with Obama go beyond gay rights.

There’s abortion, for example.

And, their differences go beyond even Religious Right hot-button social issues.

Take Warren’s bloodlust for the head of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. (And the pandering to Israel that ultimately lies behind it.)

Or, Warren’s commitment to “social justice,” which sounds nice in the abstract, but would he agree with using government activism to achieve it? Or does he believe in either “success gospel” social justice, per his strain of conservative evangelical Christianity, or else, does he believe in “trickle down” social justice, per the political party he still supports?

Glenn Greenwald has a much better take on how new or not Obama’s Post-Partisan Politics™ is.

As for me, I’m having Post-Partisan Depression™.

Funny aside: A commenter at Wonkette’s post on this issue is exactly where I’m at:

I’m hoping that the Revererend Wright parachutes on stage just as Rick “Pus-Driven Life” Warren is about to give the invocation, and then he says “THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE, BITCHES” and starts spraying machine gun fire. Then he and Hopey make up over Warrens bullet-riddled corpse and they start handing out guns to the crowd from big ass crates marked USSR and “Fidel Forever.” The end.

Dude, I’ll cut Wright a check to make that happen.
