openly celebrate christmas or pray in school. as president, i ll end obama s war on religion, and i ll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage. faith made america strong, it can make her strong again. you know there s so many disturbing things about that ad. i would begin with the horns, what was that? but secondly, i didn t know and maybe i didn t read it in the papers, do we have we covered the news every day for three hours. i was looking for the stories on obama s war on christmas? war on religion? war on religion because i missed that because obama maybe it s online, i ll google it. i ve heard and you know what? he s so cunning, i m sure he did this because it s part of the plot saying that he believed in jesus christ as his personal lord and savior. that has to be a smoke screen, i guess, and rick perry s
saying but i missed his war on religion. it s a special ops war. is it a special ops war? drones. they re playing led zeppelin songs backwards. they play the obama speech backwards. it only comes up in this serious ad. plus you know, clearly the target one wants to go after is gay soldiers dying for the country and putting their lives on the line that is the biggest threat to america. absolutely, a horrible thing, we can t allow it. enough. nice christmas message. you know what? suddenly, willie, i am missing mike huckabee s ikea cross shimmering in the background. mike huckabee, run for president! we miss you. rick stengel is next revealing the new cover of time, keep it here on morning joe. what is that? it s you!
finally, speaking of poll, rick perry is desperate to catch up in iowa, and he s now making a frankly desperate and direct appeal to evangelicals with this new ad. i m not ashamed to admit that i m a christian. but you don t need to be in the pew every sunday to know that there s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can t openly celebrate christmas or pray in school. as president, i ll end obama s war on religion. well, rick perry is just the latest republican to try and capture iowa s religious and social conservatives who have yet to coalesce behind one candidate. big reason for that, no endorsement from this man, steve scheffler. he s president of the iowa faith and freedom coalition and a powerful force among iowa conservatives politically for more than 20 years. mr. scheffler joins me now. good morning, sir. thanks for coming on. good morning. i want to ask you about the rick perry ad. i know you ve heard it.
kids can t openly celebrate christian or pray in school. as president, i ll end obama s war on religion. bob: sorry about that. i got yelled at on that one. c mon, bob! okay. the last vestige of a loser is attack someone on religion. the idea of taking on president obama on religion is cheap, disgraceful, disgusting. rick, go back to your farm where you shoot with your sign. okay? kimberly: not nice. greg: you say that is bad. i say economic warfare is bad. we don t need to look for economic issues. the biggest social issue right now is the economy. nothing is more antisocial in my mind than pitting americans against each other to win an election. i ll be right back. eric: where are you
fire out. greg: so hide under the bed. kimberly: flame retardant bob: what about your personal property, effects and other stuff? kimberly: this is not nice. i m angry with this. bob: you firefighters ought to be fired. eric: your assessment was clearly hot. greg: thank you! kimberly: wow! eric: coming up, rick perry in the hunt and looking for a comeback in iowa now. going after obama war on religion. it s provocative. so we will talk about it. show it to you next.
