Bachmann’s Minister Friend to state legislature: Obama’s no Christian!
Bradlee Dean, founder of You Can Run But You Cannot Hide — a Minnesota-based ministry that targets public school students with its evangelizing “shock treatment” — made news earlier this week when Mother Jones drew attention to his “unlikely but powerful alliance” with Michelle Bachmann.
Today, Dean (who claims, on his website, to be “ordained as a minister both nationally and internationally” — as well as “a graduate of the Institution on the Constitution”) delivered the opening prayer for a session of the Minnesota legislature, which is currently considering a constitutional amendment against gay marriage. Read the provocative ending of the prayer — complete with a baseless claim about President Obama’s religion — for yourself:
“I know this is a non-denominational prayer in this Chamber and it’s not about the Baptists and it’s not about the Catholics alone or the Lutherans or the Wesleyans. Or the Presbyterians the evangelicals or any other denomination but rather the head of the denomination and his name is Jesus. As every President up until 2008 has acknowledged. And we pray it. In Jesus’ name.”
