ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIGOTRY EXPLODES AT VILLAGE VOICE
Catholic League president William Donohue called attention today to the anti-Christian explosion under way at the Village Voice:
*The day after the election, James Ridgeway confessed, “The dream has become a nightmare.” By that he meant “the dream of a secular, liberal democracy.” Why? Because, he said, “the Christians are stronger than ever.” On 11-16, Ridgeway blasted “the self-absorbed, selfish Christians who take sanctimonious pride in wrapping themselves in the banners of the civil rights movement, missionary work abroad, giving old clothes to single mothers,” etc. He then blamed Christians for not challenging the Klan in the 1980s, noting it is Jews who fight racism outside the South.
*On 11-15, Sharon Lerner warned of “an army of bloodthirsty archconservatives” who constitute the pro- life movement. So bad are things for the pro-abortionists that she says, “the sky could really fall.” She makes it clear that it is the Christians she fears.
*On 11-16, Sydney H. Schanberg wondered aloud if the election meant “we’re having a second Civil War.” Though he doubts we are, he nonetheless concludes that “there’s a feel of holy-war fever in America.” He also makes it clear that it is the Christians he fears.
*On 11-16, Michael Feingold shows he’s crashed: “The spoliation of our national forests by Bush-based economic interests, joined with the accelerated melting of the polar cap…will bring on what must surely be an increasing parade of natural disasters, pandemics, outbreaks of disease….” He warns that “as the sun gets more dangerous, the air less breathable, the water less drinkable, the hurricanes more frequent,” even the rich will suffer. How did this happen? He says, “this is the election in which American Christianity destroyed itself. Today the church is no longer a religion but a tacky political lobby….” Indeed, “Christianity as currently preached and practiced in Middle America is virtually Satan, by the standards of anyone who strives to follow the teachings of Jesus.”
NOTE: It would behoove the 85 percent of Americans who are Christian not to treat this outburst of anti- Christian bigotry lightly.

Are you surprised? I live right near their office in the East Village of manhattan....orig from BROOKLYN. Thank God in Manhattan the paper is free. I really wouldn't pay for such garbage...although they have an interesting article now and again.
the klan in the 1980's? The had stopped being a real force several decades before then. Yeah there were in the 80's and still is the occaisional 20 aging beer bellies that show up and protest surrounded by hundreds of anti klan activists. I suppose this is what is meant by "anti-klan" struggle!
As a Jew who voted for Bush I want someone to start hating me too as I'm starting to feel left out!~}
There is a whole lot of Christainphobia going on with the Gays who hate America/Christians and GW while pretending to be journalists.
There is a great rebellion against God. So be it. Stay faithful. Stay strong. Stay aware.

homosexuality is THE cultural battleground of the time. it must never gain sanction nor endorsement in this land.
Obviously that is the Christian's fault, perhaps he meant to say "the son" is getting more dangerous. I can't believe these liberal stooges, one would think that Christians are running about America lopping off Liberal heads or something, what blatantly ignorant statements.
'fraid you're going to have to move to France for that. Sorry. :-)
Village Voice. Consider the source.
You just can't make some of this stuff up.
So the pro-life people, fighting the slaughter of tens of millions of the innocent are the bloody ones eh, Ridgeway?
...and those committing the wanton killing, the bloody slaughter (because that is exactly what it is) of those same millions are pure as the driven snow?
These people are dangerous on the same level Mao, Stalin and Hitler were dangerous. They are deluded and actually believe this stuff.
The Voice is very gay. It is steeped in gayness..
To the village voice: We're coming to take you away...he haw...we're coming to take you away....to the funny farm.....and so on and so forth ad nauseum!~
I'm surprised that there are not Post Traumatic Election Stress Clinics turning up in all the Blue Counties.
This kind of rhetoric is how Hitler whipped up animosity against the Jews-there wasn't a social ill they weren't responsible for. Garrison Keilor suggested that Christians shouldn't be allowed to vote. This is blind hate and nothing less.
Translation: Our Christ is a Commie!
Garrison Keillor...clown.
Rick now openly longs for the day when reporters who even pretend to be unbiased are prohibited from practicing their evil, non-liberal-worshipping craft:
Punks like [Jeff] Greenfield are Rove's best friend: He's already decided in advance that both sides are equally bad. Both sides are not equally bad, and any reporters who don't recognize that conservatism's very core has become shot through with a culture of mendacity should turn in their press badge.
Yep, and so many of its so called writers push the Gay Agenda and hatred on a regular basis.
