O'Neal Dozier Strikes Again

O'Neal Dozier dressed in a military uniform and declared himself a Christian warrior for Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle's homophobic bathroom crusade. Dozier said Jesus personally told him Charlie Crist will be Florida's next Governor. Crist rewarded Dozier by taking him off his campaign committee. No word on if Jesus told Crist to.

Dozier's xenophobia towards Muslims is well documented. Dozier adds sexist to the list with his recent comment about Hillary Clinton.

"At this time in America we need to have a good strong godly man to lead America, and not a woman," he said.

Dozier is a backer of Republican Mike Huckabee for president. And he is critical of many of the other Republicans, including Mitt Romney. But, he said, any of the Republicans "would be better than Hillary Clinton."

Dozier's gender reason No. 1 is Islam.

"This is a bad time for America to appoint a woman as president of the United States of America. And the reason this is a bad time is because we're fighting Islamic fascism. And Islam has absolutely no respect for women. And to have a woman in that position, as a commander in chief of the military and the head of the free world, I'm afraid would cause the Islamic fascists, and the Islamic community to look at America as a weak nation."

A great irony is that Dozier cites feminism as a reason Clinton shouldn't be President. Think about that for a moment. Dozier is against women advancing and be treated equally as men. Get a load on Dozier's views of how Clinton would affect the military.

"It would weaken the military. Because I don't believe that a lot of men would be willing to serve under a woman commander in chief of the military. I just don't believe that. I think that you still have a lot of guys out there who feel like I feel that that's not the role for a woman," he said.

So Dozier believes the insecurity of certain men automatically disqualifies Clinton from the White House.

What kills me about Dozier is he is against candidates for the most idiotic reasons. Dozier doesn't talk about wonkish policy matters. He bases his support on flippant reasons.

Dozier said he won't support Barack Obama: "I don't see the patriotism." That is hardly a scietific reason to be against a candidate. Dozier's logic reminds me of Sean Hannity's complaint that Obama doesn't wear American flag lapels.

If anyone wants proof that Dozier isn't smart look no further than how fast Jeb Bush dumped him after his anti-Muslim comments. Dozier's political clout amongst Florida Republicans is zero. Why is he still given a media pulpit to preach intolerance?

Jim Naugle Meets G.I. Joe

The tale of homophobic potty-policing Mayor Jim Naugle gets more twisted. He has enlisted the aid of Mathes Guice. That is Guice dressed in full paramilitary garb. His followers were dressed in similar apparel.

To no one's surprise, O'Neal Dozier was part of Guice's group. It would take me a week to write about the insanity Dozier has been in. However, I will make note of this Dozier quote.

God sees homosexuality as an abomination. It is something that causes him to want to vomit… It is just that ungodly and just that nasty.*

I want to vomit. It's not because of homosexuals.

O'Neill Dozier Supports Jim Naugle

Good God! Homophobic Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle has none other than O'Neill Dozier supporting him.

God sees homosexuality as an abomination. It is something that causes him to want to vomit… It is just that ungodly and just that nasty.*

Dozier made this infamous comment about Charlie Crist.

"The Lord Jesus spoke to me and he said 'There's something I want you to know,'" said Dozier, pastor of the Worldwide Christian Center in Pompano Beach. "'Charlie Crist will be the next governor of the state of Florida.'"

Dozier also displayed his intolerance to a peaceful Islamic mosque. Members of the mosque helped fellow nonMuslims during the hurricanes.

'The Islamic religion in my view is a cult,' Dozier said Friday, when asked to recap the controversial comments he made earlier on The Steve Kane Radio Show on WNN-AM 1470. 'On the show I said that Islam is a dangerous religion.'

Dozier was forced off of the Broward's Judicial Nominating Commission because of his several anti-Islamic remarks. He was appointed to the position by Jeb Bush.

Incertus has some letter from Naugle (cringe) fans.

Crist Ducks Family Florida Policy Council Event

I find it fascinating how Republican politicians want to keep Christian Right activists at arm's length. Popular Governor Charlie Crist turned down an invitation to speak to Family Florida Policy Council. Dark horse candidates Mike Huckabee and Sam Brownbeck went to the event and gave a major pep talk.

''Please don't give up now,'' said Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, who was followed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. ``We can win this fight.''

Well said by two men polling in the single digits in Idaho.

Crist was far more receptive towards the Christian Right when he was a candidate. He told a Roman Catholic priest he would sign a bill to ban abortion. The Hatemonger Rev. O'Neill Dozier was a major Crist backer. Dozier showed his intolerance by attempting to shut down the construction of a peaceful Islamic mosque.

On September 23, 2006 The Miami Herald reported, "The Rev. O'Neal Dozier suffered another political slap Friday. Gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist told his staff to take the Pompano Beach minister off all his campaign committees. The move comes after the Rev. Dozier characterized Islam as a 'cult' and a 'dangerous religion,' on a South Florida radio talk show in July. Dozier also recently announced plans to distribute booklets to residents living near the site of a future mosque in a black Pompano Beach community. 'While Charlie Crist respects Rev. Dozier's right to express his political and religious beliefs, he does not agree with Rev. Dozier's recent statements and writings concerning Islam,' according to a statement issued Friday by Crist's deputy press secretary Erin Isaac. 'While radical jihadists give Islam a bad name, Charlie Crist believes that we must not confuse those who practice any religion with a prayer toward peace with extremists who pervert religion to further a radical cause.' The Rev. Dozier initially made his remarks on the radio show and several times in discussing his opposition to construction of a mosque in a 'black Christian' Pompano Beach community. Dozier and others opposing the mosque -- which has been approved -- have also said they would rather see affordable housing on the roughly 5-acre property. Dozier confirmed that someone from Crist's campaign called Friday about his removal. 'I'm just simply doing what I think any true pastor would do,' Dozier said."

The GOP has a very sick relationship with the Christian Right. Christian religion and politics have both been tainted by this merger.
