Ralph Reed: God Spoke Through Sean Hannity In Telling Me To Get Back Into Politics

Since 2006, when news of his involvement in the Jack Abramoff scandal broke, political activist (and onetime candidate for Georgia’s Lieutenant Governor) Ralph Reed has stayed out of the spotlight. But now, that’s changing—thanks to a bit of divine intervention facilitated by Fox News veteran Sean Hannity.

Reed, the former executive of an evangelical mobilization machine called the Christian Coalition, recently founded a similar organization: the Faith and Freedom Coalition. And as Bradford Plumer at The New Republic reports, the FCC’s founding was catalyzed by a heavenly message.

Reed recalled on September 11 of this year how a phone call from buddy Sean Hannity convinced him to get back into the political game. Hannity, though, wasn’t speaking for himself:

As Reed tells his audience at the Mayflower, a phone call from Sean Hannity persuaded him. “I wanted to know that this was not me,” Reed says, “that this was not any ambition of mine. I wanted to know that this was the Lord.” Reed breaks into a sly grin as he recounts Hannity’s response: “Ralph, God is speaking through this phone line right now, and he’s using me to deliver the message.”

Well, that settles it, then.

The post goes on to point out how Reed has garnered support from a rather broad group of right-of-center personalities, politicians and leaders including Tucker Carlson, Gary Bauer and Karl Rove. Read the entire piece at tnr.com.

God, Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed, Sean Hannity

Ralph Reed looks like a sneaky used car salesman who’d sell his own mother if it lined his pockets.

Does Jack Abramoff still sit on his lap when they meet in person?

Every time I see Hannity I say to myself

GODS messenger!

I have to say I’m too stunned to speak.

God talks to Sean O’Hannity?

Did Gabriel protect Sean O’Hannity from the marauding Ron Paul supporters chasing him down the street on New Hampshire?

Should we expect an apparition soon?

Funny how God keeps talking to different Republicans about idiotic ideas

Does anyone else agree that God probably doesn’t give a shit about American politics?

I’m pretty convinced God has a tremendous sense of humor and loves to laugh. None of that smiting God for me. I’m sure God chuckles mightily when He or She watches the mess we have made of things, and I am sure Herr Idiott in Ohio sends Him or Her into convulsions of laughter.

I’m not convinced it isn’t James Earl Jones playing a joke on Ralphie and O’Hannity.

That James is such a scamp.

Did Hannity say God sounded a little like Darth Vader?

What’s interesting is that I have had a number of people, not particularly nutty people, well Manny Obregon does believe a UFO is sending a transponder signal to his FAX machine, but otherwise normal, who toldme that the Beckerhead was given a week’s suspension by Murdoch. I don’t particularly buy into that. But, it’s been said.

Nutty people need a lesson in who to listen to!

Hi, Bobby. Love the hat and earrings.

I find it so funny that republicans like Hannity, Palin, Bush all have direct lines with God!! These people are so over the top with religion, they ruin it for every one that just considers themselves religous and normal.
DonnaK

Azarkhan–You are more of a fool that I thought, if you believe he meant it as a joke. They talk about it all the time as a direction from God!! I believe in God, but he doesn’t give me explicit directions for any specific action to take. That is one reason people turn against the republicans–the evangelical nuts in the party!!

IT’S OFFICIAL!

GOD has declared his Party Affiliation, and it’s as expected!!!

I am willing to believe both Hannity and Reed hear mysterious voices they attribute to God.

God vomits at the sight of Ralph Reed.
