Idiot of the Week: Rick Warren

American Hate: Images From the 9/12 Rally in DC
You may have already seen these. They've been circulating since Glenn Beck's 9/12 rally in Washington DC yesterday, and I found the link to this particular "hall of shame" set through Twitter. If you haven't yet seen them, brace yourself. This is pur...
