Should they leave?

In a sermon on Sunday, Texas megachurch pastor John Hagee advised atheists and humanists to “take your Walkman and stuff it into your ears” or just “leave the country” if they don’t like hearing "Merry Christmas" or carols like "Joy to the World," according to a video of Hagee’s speech hosted on Right Wing Watch.
“Planes are leaving every hour on the hour. Get on one," Hagee added, speaking from his Cornerstone Church in San Antonio.
Sunday’s sermon was not the first time the televangelist suggested nonbelievers leave the country. In a June 2012 sermon, Hagee, who is also the CEO of Global Evangelism Television, told the “atheist watching this telecast” that “this country was not built for atheists nor by atheists.”
“It was built by Christian people who believed in the word of God. ... If our belief in God offends you, move,” Hagee said before informing atheists that "we don’t want you and we won’t miss you, I promise you.”

Texas Pastor John Hagee Tells Atheists To Get On A Plane, 'Leave The Country'
 
Where has this guy been since the 90s? A Walkman? I'm offended.
 
He should ask for forgiveness of his obvious sin of gluttony instead
 
Hagee is bucking for special guest star on Duck Dynasty .
 
Hagee is a notorious extremist and blowhard, even as Texas preachers go.
 
Zero GOP politicians will walk back anything that Hagee or Duck says.
 
It only makes sense that if you own a Walkman you should leave the country or at least move to Oregon.

Why should they? I don't feel a need to walk back the statements of centrists, moderate Republicans or libertarians, or anyone else. We as individuals should not be held accountable for someone else's actions. /shrug.

As per your post, centrists and moderate Republicans don't make asinine remarks calling out sinners and sluts..The de facto GOP leaders with their intentionally divisive spew represent tens of millions of closet KKKs in its latest resurgence ALA the 1920s .
 
There is an old saying that when your reach 50 yrs old you get the face you deserve. In this case he has gotten the face of a tortoise sticking his head out of his black suit shell.
 
He's nothing more than an asshole. Nobody should listen to this creep.

Prove there are tens of millions of "closet KKKs" in the GOP, or else stuff that comment back where it belongs.
 
Another theocrat wannabe, he can leave the country, what a POS.
 
What does the word "closet" mean to you?

Since you're slinging "stuff it" around, stuff your tacit approval of arch-righists standing in judgement of "others" .
 
How many atheists are offended by hearing the words Merry Christmas or the song "Joy to the World"? Seriously, me thinks these wingers make much ado over nothing.
 
What do the 1870s, 1920s, 1960s, and 2010s have in common ?
Why spikes in the resurgence of racist fear-mongering..
Anti-immigration, anti-gay bashing especially in the 1920s when the KKK was wildly popular..
And now we have anti-Pope evangels judging others .
 
Such as the phony "War on Christmas" to appeal to their low-hanging fruit voters .

Given what you said, you have no room to talk about "standing in judgment of others"... based on unsupported assumptions even...
 
Your posts indicate you are okay with right-ists creating an ever-widening gap among Americans..

It is not independent to allow one side to call out another but not vice-versa .

Again: assumptions, insinuations, hyperbole. Quote where I said I supported what Hagee said.

No, what's really not okay is your referring to "tens of millions" of "closet KKKers." If you genuinely believe this, there is a real sanity gap.
 
Jumping on Goshin's post huh?
Pretty safe compared to who liked you.

You people really don't get what you are a part of do you.

You don't see or feel the SEETHING hatred out there for this POTUS,
ginned up by hundreds of hate-merchants on right-ist media .

I'd be interested in him proving there are tens of millions in the KKK.

And you're ASSUMING it is race-driven, rather than hate for his policies and politics, and have posted nothing of substance whatsoever to back your baseless assumptions.

Predictably.
