Rick Warren: No Interviews, Too Many Requests

The Rev. Rick Warren, the megachurch pastor who became a lightning rod for controversy when he was anointed by President-elect Barack Obama to give the premier prayer at the inauguration, has decided to let his prayer speak for him.

Mr. Warren has decided not to grant any interviews before the inauguration next Tuesday, though he has received more than 100 requests for interviews, including strong appeals from competing celebrity television reporters, according to his spokesman, A. Larry Ross (who has also served for years as spokesman for the Rev. Billy Graham).

Warren gives 90% of his money away, because he feels guilty for scamming folks. This guy is a political/religious opportunist in the worse sense of the word.

If this guy Warren deserves a second chance with gays, then Rev. Wright deserves a second chance with America, becasue Wright's comments were taken out of context.

I really dislike this guy. I hear he gives away 90% of his income to charity, but his anti-gay oppinons are pretty strong. He shouldnt have be given such an oppurtunity

I guess this snake-handler will have to leaves his scaly critters at home to avoid an Orange Alert.

Wa rr en is acting like Obama's mistress, or the callgirl who serviced Spitzer.

Yeah, we think you're pretty sleazy, too, Ricko.

Thank you for granting my request that you not do any interviews.

Two criteria for interviews: I control the interview and the outcome, and a dozen donuts.

"Reverend Warren! Reverend Warren! A quick question sir. If the Bible teaches that our bodies are a temple and Christ commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves, why are you a morbidly obese hatemonger who teaches that only people who think like you can approach the throne of God?"

"Sorry, I'm not taking interviews at this time."

LOL!!! (Where are those "HuffPost's Pick" people when you need them?)

[Petey131]

So let me get this right: You view Warren as a "hatemonger." To be a "hatemonger" a person needs to be filled with hate, right? Your comments illustrate just that: Your heart is full of hate so this does not make you any different than Warren.

A gay American.

You are clueless, aren't you? The point of Rockwell's post is that RW has an invisible friend's rules that he is supposed to follow.
