The Real Dale Peterson

May 27, 2010 by philip copeland Leave a Comment


dalepeterson.jpgDale Peterson is a minister of music in Auburn, Alabama. He’s an ACDA member and runs an active music ministry at First Baptist Auburn.
 
He shares a name with another Dale Peterson, who is running for political office as the wanna-be Agricultural Commissioner.
 
His friends and family are having some fun with the situation.
 
You can see the poster that they have created to the left. 
 
They’ve also written their own script in the style of the politician’s famous campaign ad, viewable below.  First the spoof, then the actual video: 
 
The spoof:
 

“I’m Dale Peterson, the baddest minister of music in Alabama.

Betcha didn’t know that.

I’m a composer, a conductor, a ham radio operator, a worship planner, a gardener and a baker.

I once even saved my son from choking on a piece of steak.

Why? Because he was turning blue, that’s why.

I’m sick and tired of all these politicians and comedians sayin’ they’re me.

There’s only ONE me, and I’m a politician for GOD.

All you other fakers and posers can go to hell – and I can help you get there cause I’m a MINISTER!

People keep saying “oh that Dale Peterson ad is so funny.”

Funny? What on earth is funny about me?

When I get that organ on full stop and bring out the tenors and sound the trumpets on those closing lines of the Hallelujah chorus on a Easter Sunday, all you crooks and thugs and Facebookers who never show up except on Christmas and Easter are gonna find out just how hard it is to resurrect yerself because my choirs will SLAY you after I swat you with my choir baton…and my hydrangeas are really pretty too..

My name’s Dale Peterson – the REAL Dale Peterson.  I’ll say a prayer and name names – of the people we need to pray for.  And when it comes to music, I mean business!”

Paid for by the Real Dale Peterson Campaign, Auburn, AL
