In a Jul 01 2008 online blog entry at “The Brody File” on the Christian Broadcasting Network’s (CBN) web site, David Brody defined the religious requirements as they are currently set up by evangelical christohet supremacists — their religious barriers to becoming President of the United States of America in 2009.

With this blog post, Brody also tries to signal to interested anti-gay christohet supremacists that it is an excellent time to start the anti-Obama assault from their angle. There’s a multi-million-dollar christohet supremacy media and propaganda industry. We’ll notice the up-tick in the noise from those, if anyone is listening to David Brody.

Obama delivered another speech about faith Tuesday. He’s done a few of these concerning his faith and how it shapes his public policy. But Sunday his campaign and the Democratic Party were handing out pro-gay-rights flyers at the Pride Festival in St. Louis. How is that going to play in the heartland? The Brody File has four flyers in its possession. You can view them by clicking here and here and here and here. These are larger files, so please give them a moment to download.

Obama has passed the first hurdle by engaging people of faith and being willing to discuss his faith openly. He has passed with flying colors. But now comes the hard part. It’s called scrutiny. His political opponents believe that once Evangelicals really get a handle on what Obama is all about policy wise, then they’ll be turned off and they won’t buy in to the lofty rhetoric.

Handing out pro-gay-rights flyers while at the same time talking about your “Christian faith” is a MAJOR disconnect for not only conservative Evangelicals but for some of those Independent voting, moderate leaning working class folks in the rust belt. It doesn’t play well.

Look, I understand that Obama is saying ALL people should be treated with respect. That’s not the issue. Evangelicals also believe ALL people should be treated respectfully. Rather, Obama’s next challenge may be defending his liberal positions as part of his Christian narrative. Let’s face it. Talking about fighting genocide in Darfur, poverty in America, global warming and promoting faith-based groups are all well and good but will it be enough to make a dent in the Evangelical vote when his full record is exposed? Evangelicals will need ALL the information out there to make an informed decision.

For example, this past week he sent a letter to the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Democratic Club where he congratulated those in California who recently got married. He also lays out his gay rights agenda. Read the letter below:

The letter finishes the original blog entry here:

 P.S.: Hey, Barack! It’s equal or it’s not. Separate and limited over a word is not equal. The made-up “civil union” is not equal to “marriage” unless in every document and way, marriages are equal to “civil unions.” Do you want to give up the word “marriage” and switch to “civil unions” for everybody just because you selectively refused to acknowledge the existence of gays and lesbians as equal citizens seeking marriage licenses from the government?
