SCHUMER: NOT ANTI-CATHOLIC (barf-a-rama)
NY POST ^ | August 13, 2003 | Eric Fettmann

It goes without saying that pouring lighter fluid on an already raging fire is a prescription for disaster. Yet that's just what state Conservative Party head Mike Long is doing with the always-incendiary issue of religion and politics.

Long is not the only one raising the explosive accusation of anti-Catholic bigotry against Sen. Chuck Schumer, of course. Fortunately, though, he's done it so inartfully that maybe, in this case, the damage can be limited.

.....the Pryor battle is little more than a continuation of the Democrats' unsuccessful effort to defeat John Ashcroft as attorney general two years ago. Back then, Schumer and other Democrats railed against the former Missouri senator's "deeply held religious beliefs"....

The Dims dirty little secret----hatred for religion and those who espouse it.

We need dynamite 2004 wedge issues to convincingly label Dummycrats as anti-religion fanatics. Bush needs to hand Dims a gift-wrapped package of wedge issues and the Dims anti-religionism is a good place to start. Ponder this.

The Christian vote is so important that even the venal, corrupt Clintons had to resort to carrying Bibles and going to Sunday services even though it must have nearly killed the evil duo.

The Dims sub-rosa anti-religionism has been brought into sharp relief by the homo marriage issue. Most people oppose homo marriage and it is very significant that nearly all the Dim prez candidates were forced to come out against it even though they genuflect at the altar of the homo agenda.

One way to stick it to the religio-phobic Dummycrats is to stay on the anti-homo marriage message. Bush will put the Dims heretofore hidden anti-religionism under a glaring spotlight.

Eric Fettman, I take it, supports abortion. Why does he work for the NYP? He can't see the truth when its clamped on his nose.

"Similarly with William Pryor: Schumer has said that his beliefs are "so deeply held that it's difficult to believe they're not going to influence" him if confirmed."

Oh yeah, the Disney World incident. So come next Gay Day, Schumer thinks all parents would be better off sending their kids to Disney World, where sodomites get particularly leud, strip off their clothes, imitate acts described by the Bible as abominations, right under the noses of their kids. What is wrong with a parent who refuses to treat his/her/its child to that kind of entertainment?

Sean Hannity mentioned the poll about Schumer's vulnerability on the religion issue. What this means, that even Schumer is vulnerable in NY of all places, is that the rats are in even more trouble all across the US. It looks to me that Savage is correct: Davis will resign in CA, leaving a sinking rat in his place. Schumer is now on the defensive in NY.

One issue I think would be helpful would be the UN wedge, particularly in NY. Nobody wants to pay UN janitors $70,000 a year. Americans are, by nature, stingy when it comes to diplomatic funding to begin with. You wouldn't know it when it comes to UN funding.

Fettman uses the old liberal standby to save ol' Schumer: "When you open your big mouth and make trouble for yourself, assume the position of victim."

Self-loathing libs just can't feel good about themselves unless they are in the throes of "victimization" and either 1) causing victims, 2) concocting victims, 3) playing victim, 4) commiserating over victims, or 5) creating another class of victims to bleed over.

Get out the valium. Time to sedate Schumer and Fettmann before they sob themselves to desperation.

Nah. Thou dost give them too much credit. I'd wager it bothered them not one little bit to put on that photo-op. There was zero conscience involved, therefore no guilt. They probably laughed afterward, every time, that they pulled the wool over The Suckers' eyes again.

Just damn. I guess I'm not the only one who wonders why so-called Jews like Schumer and FeinSwine seem so Nazi-like. What's up with that?

If Chuck Schumer is not using a litmus test against Catholic beliefs for Federal Judgeships, then what, exactly is he doing?
I mean, besides violating the spirit of the First Amendment. (Don't get me started on the Second Amendment.)

Someone on FR posted that USA Today reported Dumycrats are not going to talk about gun control because it costs them too many votes. That takes care of the Second Amendment.

And now for the First Amendment: We need to to convincingly label Dummycrats as anti-religion fanatics. Bush needs to come up with a package of wedge issues and hand it to the Dims gift-wrapped. The Dims anti-religionism speaks loudly.

The religious vote is so important that even the evil Clintons had to resort to carrying Bibles and going to church on Sunday even though it must have nearly killed them.

The Dims heretofore sub-rosa anti-religionism has been brought into sharp relief by the homo marriage issue. Most people oppose homo marriage and nearly all the Dim prez candidates were forced to come out against it even though they genuflect at the altar of the homo agenda.

Well, that covers the first two Constitutional amendents. Let's go for broke and include the entire Bill of Rights in the wedge issue package.

Let's face it - congressional Democrats are overflowing with hypocrisy and demagoguery when it comes to the president's judicial nominees.

How sweet of the author to admit this.

I doubt any lefties would have admitted this, if it weren't for the current discussion of liberal antagonism to faith.

And this is only the tip of the hypocrisy iceberg. Schumer is a hypocrite other ways, too.

Chuck Schumer, who says he believes in the separation of church and state, and who says he believes in women's rights, belongs to an organization that

Chuck Schumer has been a Freemason and I guess he still is one.

Does Schumer place his duty to God above all other duties? Or does he think his duty to God is secondary to his duties as a Democrat Senator? Will Chuck fight for full membership for women in Freemasonry?

What does Chuck think?

What will Chuck do?

Has Chuck Schumer ever met a Catholic-in-name-only that he didn't like?

Turning Schumer into a victim by unsubstantiated charges of bigotry

Only a few problems with this arguement. The charges were substantiated by chuckie's own words multiple times.

That sounds do-able.

Especially since the Democrats have been preparing enough wood for a giant wedge for several decades now.

An enterprising reporter could write a very interesting article about the church attendance of the post-White-House Clintons.

I'd bet money neither of their shadows has darkened the doors of a church since they left the White House. Weddings and funerals excluded...
