Brannon Howse Can't Stand Hearing He's a Conspiracist Nut

Even though he is.

What is most striking is the lack of running commentary in Bud Kennedy's article in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. Indeed, he does a lot of what I try to do, lets the stupid speak for itself. OK, I do more commentary, but still, I quote so nobody can say I'm making this shit up! Turns out that Brannon, like a dog with worms, dragged his ass across the driveway that is Texas. His Code Blue rallies are epic, I understand, and he's coming to St. Louis! Yay!

(See you there, Brannon!)

My favorite bit of the article:

For about 30 minutes, Birchman Baptist Church — home of the Southern Baptist Convention of Texas’ state president — took a sharp turn toward conspiracy-theory paranoia, race-baiting suspicion and apocalyptic end-times obsession.

In a revival that seemed like something out of the 1950s, Howse even declared, "Joe McCarthy was a good guy." That was the mid-’50s commie-hunting Wisconsin senator who could find a socialist under every rock.

At an event promoting a "Christian worldview," Howse gave a sermon that was more John Birch than Birchman.

If it smells like a conspiracy theorist and hair gel, looks like a conspiracy theorist wearing hair gel, and (shudder) tastes like salty back bacon and hair gel, it's probably Brannon Howse.

YOU ARE A CONSPIRACY THEORIST AND IT'S WEIRD! GET USED TO IT, BRANNON, OR GET A NEW TUNE! THIS IS NOT ABOUT "CHRISTIANS" THIS IS ABOUT A CHRISTIAN.
