Applause and Ovation for Hagee at AIPAC
Brog is the author of Standing with Israel: Why Christians Support the Jewish State, which has a foreword by Hagee. The book is a call for his fellow American Jews to stop worrying and to learn to love evangelical Christians, much as Merrill Simon's Jerry Falwell and the Jews did back in 1984. I have discussed Brog's views in more detail on my blog here.
Bauer's response to the McCain repudiation of Hagee featured recently on OneNewsNow: "The only winner in all this has been the radical left and big media, who despise Senator McCain and also despise Pastor Hagee -- and not incidentally, [also] despise Israel," he contends. John Buhler, meanwhile, is rather less well-known than his two co-speakers. He runs the Alabama Strategic Prayer Network and Mission Huntsville, and the Christian Advocates for Israel (which has a logo quite similar to that of CUFI, but no designated website) appears to be a division of the former. All of Buhler's groups are ultimately linked to Global Harvest Ministries, which is co-headed by C Peter Wagner and Chuck Pierce. Both Wagner and Pierce are known for their strong emphasis on supernatural "signs and wonders", in particular prophecies from God and "spiritual warfare" against demonic forces. The result is, as with Rod Parsley, a form of Charismatic dominionism top-heavy with militarized rhetoric and symbolism. Here's one event advertised on the Alabama website:
God is recruiting all worshiping warriors from near and far to marshal upon Mt. Cheaha as we unite to "Thunder on the Mountain" - a massive prayer maneuver with Prophets, Intercessors and Multitudes of Drummers!... However, Buhler and his organization are also interested in gaining victories by earthly means, and, unsurprisingly, he has engaged in activism on behalf of Judge Roy Moore.
