Instant Karma: Fundamentalists Pray for Rain at DNC, Get Hurricane at RNC
August 12:
Focus on the Family is asking for "abundant, torrential" downpours to flood Denver and silence Senator Obama when he accepts the Democratic Party's presidential nomination on August 28.
"Would it be wrong to ask people to pray for rain of Biblical proportins," asks an umbrella wielding Stuard Shepard in a video put out by the ultra conservative evangelical group. He asks for the rain to start "two minutes before the acceptance speech begins."

Officials with the McCain campaign and the Republican National convention are considering changing the event's agenda as Hurricane Gustav bears down on the Gulf Coast.
McCain had suggested to a Fox News interviewer that the convention could be suspended if it seemed that a festive gathering was inappropriate in light of the destruction the storm may bring.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3887582This DUmmy sentiment is, of course, reprehensible, but considering the full range of DUmmy reprehensibility it's somewhere on the benign side of center. The DUmp seems kind of spent today. The spectacular explosions of vile obscenity and hatred yesterday were breathtaking, but have apparently left the DUmmies gasping.
Their stupid, helpless fury against Sarah Palin will surely resume tomorrow. They have a special hatred for her, because her announcement ended instantly their ecstatic celebration of the messiah's (pbuh) speech. Regardless of her political significance, she will never be forgiven for this act of obamus interruptus. Their scurrilous slanders against her and her family will not end soon.
