A progressive pastor who once called Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger part of "the national axis of evil" is now a paid consultant with the governor's re-election campaign, upsetting at least one fellow clergyman.
The Rev. Amos Brown, who heads Third Baptist Church, is starring this week in a new radio ad for Schwarzenegger after once dubbing President Bush the governor's "partner in crime" in a San Francisco Chronicle interview.
Brown lauded Schwarzenegger in an official campaign press release this week as a leader on arts, music and physical education in schools and as an advocate for prison reform and small-business development.
In the past two months, the San Francisco pastor was paid more than $16,000 after he was put on the Schwarzenegger campaign payroll as a political consultant, according to documents on file with the California Secretary of State's Office. The Schwarzenegger campaign confirmed that Brown is a paid campaign adviser.
And, of course, the pastor has some pre-approved Rovian lies to tell about why he suddenly is backing a Republican. It couldn't be those massive bribes that the governor is shoving into black churches through his after school program, no.....
Schwarzenegger is like Bush on steriods.
Everything you hate about Bush, the lies, the clownishness, the dirty politics is found big time in the Gropenator.
