WOW!  The tomatoes are flying!  Eggs, cabbages, apples and pears!  They are being hurled at the stage on which Obama has placed Rick Warren.  An interesting way for Obama to return the favor.  First, Warren invited Obama onto his stage at his pathetic little Saddleback megachurch.  Obama was expected to fail.  He had all those liberal talking points to defend.  It was John McCain's turn to shine.  He was bringing the fight from the Right!  The questions were  not anything original.  They were the classic issues that have given the Right purpose all these years.  But Obama did not fail and McCain did not shine.  Now it's Rick Warren answering the invitation by Obama to the White House and his inauguration.  The tables are turned.

I have asked myself, "Why is it that the supposedly intelligent people here cannot see the brilliance of this maneuver?"  My answer is rage.  It so infuriates many people on the Left that Warren is going up on the stage after the Left has been so completely snubbed by the Right.  They are incredulous.  What has happened?  The Left should return the favor and snub the Right.

What is happening is that the Right will now have to defend itself against all comers.  The Right basked in its own glory and its own delusion for a short time while declaring themselves supreme, yet unable to face any criticism.  They portrayed themselves as superior but there was no counter or contrast to show whether they were better.  It is the argument of Good requiring Evil to prove it's worth, only it was live and on TV. 

When a position cannot face criticism, it is because it has no true merit.   Obama will have Warren on stage and the contrast of Warren against the others on the stage will reveal the absence of merit in Warren's positions on gays and lesbians.  Prior to the debate, Warren was simply this author/pastor whose life had a purpose and he was this voice crying in the wilderness.  But if a tree falls in the wilderness does it make a sound?  For most, they can only believe it made a sound.  Now Warren is in public, and we can question the sounds he is making.  With all the talk about the noise he is making, his merit is called into question.  Warren is losing his shine same as McCain and he is doing it on stage in front of the world.  For that, the Left can thank Obama because without it, Americans from the  Middle might have thought Warren was someone worth reading.  Now we can question his purpose.
