Who the heck is Meyerson? He’s obviously in his own fantasyland of stereotypes, and I really don’t care what he thinks about anything.
Meyerson makes an idiotic attempt to use Christianity criticize Republicans, particularly on illegal immigration. He seems to say that, because Bush, Huckster, and others in the GOP profess to be Christians, then their christianity should govern all their decisions, exactly what those who scream the separation of Church and State are most afraid of. Yet, when their policies go against Meyerson's interpretation of Scripture, what could be considered "separation of Church and State", then that's a horrible thing. I'm sorry I wasted my time reading the column.
“This Meyerson is a wild-eyed bigot for sure”
He is preaching to his choir. Read some of the comments after the article. I think we need to pray for those people.
I’m glad the leftwingnuts are doing this, especially at this time of year, and at this point in the election cycle.
All it does is remind voters why leftwingers cannot be trusted on National Security Issues.
Works for me.
“Would it matter that the Democrats were behind the KKK?”
And that they lynched Leo Frank? These cranky liberals don’t know the country’s history. If they did, they’d know that Christians were the leading abolitionists.
Hillary doesn’t have to worry about her face. She has to worry about her mask. Back in the ’92 race, Clinton pollsters devised strategies to humanize her and make her seem more warm and maternal. Fifteen years later, her campaign is devising strategies to humanize her and make her seem more warm and maternal.

Maureen Dowd from the New York Slime .....
One of my male colleagues was explaining why men age better than women.
“It’s evolutionary,” he said. “As we wear out our wives, who are running around taking care of the kids, we know we’re going to have to get another younger wife, so we stay good-looking.”
He was kidding. (I think.) We were discussing Hillary’s latest hurdle: the Old Hag routine.

Paul Costello, who was an aide to Rosalynn Carter and Kitty Dukakis, calls this “the snake belly of the campaign,” and notes drily: “We’ve been staring at aging white men from the beginning of the democracy.”

Mitt Romney, Barack Obama and John Edwards almost always look good, and pretty much the same, in dark suits or casual wear. Fred Thompson always looks crepuscular and droopy. Often Hillary looks great, and sometimes she looks tired, heavier or puffier. Jim Cole, The Associated Press photographer who took the offending shot, said that there were several other pictures that day where she looked “radiant.”

Thanks Mike,

Huckabee is a free-spending liberal who’s soft on illegal immigration and crime. Boy, was that ugly!
It is criminal to burn a cross even on your own land but burning an American flag on public or private property is protected free speech even in incidents where it is a stolen flag (the theft of the flag is criminal but there is no hate crime charge for doing this to someone else’s flag).
The DNC Brownshirts were out in full force in 2004 slashing tires of GOP campaign vehicles, throwing bricks through campaign office windows, writing pieces on the GOP campaign “through the eyes of a staffer” (for Rolling Stone and other periodicals acknowledging they volunteered for the article, not any belief in the party), painting swastikas on the homes, cars, and campaign signs of Bush supporters, and even assault.
Expect them to be even uglier thugs this time around because the 2004 incidents were treated as isolated events, not a national trend.
The Battle of Fort Pillow
(April 12, 1864)
In April 1864, the Union garrison at Fort Pillow, a Confederate-built earthen fortification and a Union-built inner redoubt, overlooking the Mississippi River about forty river miles above Memphis, comprised 295 white Tennessee troops and 262 U.S. Colored Troops, all under the command of Maj. Lionel F. Booth. Confederate Maj. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest attacked the fort on April 12 with a cavalry division of approximately 2,500 men. Forrest seized the older outworks, with high knolls commanding the Union position, to surround Booth’s force. Rugged terrain prevented the gunboat New Era from providing effective fire support for the Federals. The garrison was unable to depress its artillery enough to cover the approaches to the fort. To make matters worse, Rebel sharpshooters, on the surrounding knolls, began wounding and killing the Federals, including Booth, who was killed. Maj. William F. Bradford then took over command of the garrison. The Confederates launched a determined attack at 11:00 am, occupying more strategic locations around the fort, and Forrest demanded unconditional surrender. Bradford asked for an hour for consultation and Forrest granted twenty minutes. Bradford refused surrender and the Confederates renewed the attack, soon overran the fort, and drove the Federals down the river’s bluff into a deadly crossfire. Casualties were high and only sixty-two of the U.S. Colored Troops survived the fight. Many accused the Confederates of perpetrating a massacre of the black troops, and that controversy continues today. The Confederates evacuated Fort Pillow that evening so they gained little from the attack except to temporarily disrupt Union operations. The Fort Pillow Massacre became a Union rallying cry and cemented resolve to see the war through to its conclusion.

Racial Hatred for Blacks

Meyerson hates himself.
“He(Meyerson)complains that the right is so overly concerned about religion in politics....”Correction-imo it’s the media that have a problem with religion.Like many of his his counterparts in the msm,Meyerson is a prime example of what i call an “agent provacateur”.Write an inflamatory article,sit back,and savor the ensuing results.
Let’s extend this using WaPo logic. Christians love torture. Muslims love torture. Therefore Christians are Muslims.
He's correct here, somewhat. This is not the view of only Republicans, however, but the overwhelming view of legal Americans.
Once a guy gets to hating his maker, there is nothing you can do for him but pray and forgive.
Worked for me.
Hillary’s trick to getting teary eyed?
learned from the master...Bubba,
She pulls a hair out of her nose!
